warmaster , in Counter-Strike 2 System Requirements for Linux

Just played a match, it’s working perfectly on Wayland and pipewire. I’m using -vulkan as a launch parameter.

Linus_Torvalds ,

Coo, thanks for the info! FYI, the best place for those kind of Linux reviews is ProtonDB (here directly linked to the game). You can specify and filter for –launch-options, distro, GPU, …

we all hope Windows will be laid to rest ASAP. It's a truly horrifyingly revolting OS.

You should also be able to set the SDL_AUDIODRIVER environment variable to pipewire to get this effect globally.

Oh, dope, thanks! I hope this doesn’t fuck up anything that’s hardcoded to expect Pulse or something, but I guess I’ll find out.

Especially VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library is interesting. This means mesa 23.1 or higher on AMD GPU’s is a must. Iirc Nvidia supports vk gpl for a year or so.

zurohki ,

That just says recommended - you likely get frame stutter without GPL but the game would probably smooth out after 5 minutes or so.

Highly recommended in the minimum spec sheet is a must for me lol

zurohki ,

Latest graphics drivers are always a good idea regardless.

bery ,
@bery@lemmy.world avatar

True. Recently I updated my 1050ti graphics driver on my dads windows machine and it now runs valorant at 120 FPS instead of being locked to 60 to not drop frames too often

Linus_Torvalds ,

What does that mean for my RX 5600XT?

Chewy7324 ,

The gpu supports gpl, but it depends on yoir distro and how Steam is installed which mesa version you have. What’s you distro release? Native package manager or flatpa?

zurohki ,

Run vulkaninfo | grep VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library and see if it’s there.

Linus_Torvalds ,

Thanks! I just ran vulkaninfo and it’s there. Btw: You can check your version apparently with vulkaninfo | grep driverInfo.

This is happening with dota 2 as well, probably it was messed up on the engine level.

Now do it with fractional scaling

For flatpak steam, you need to run this:

flatpak override --user --filesystem=/run/user/1000/pipewire-0 com.valvesoftware.Steam

Then -sdlaudiodriver pipewire launch option will work.

    Yeah, this kinda gives the impression of this old stereotypical Linux image as a gaming platform where we all just play Tux Racer and weird Solitaire clones.

    strongarm ,

    Newbies for what though? I’d be surprised a Linux newbie would find themselves on this page, I’m not really sure who this is for

    Nefyedardu ,

    If I was a newbie shopping around for a DE, I would probably be perusing websites like kde.org to get a feel for the visual style and features and such

    bionicjoey ,

    I agree. It’s bragging about a bunch of things that either aren’t part of KDE or aren’t really gaming. It’s like if MS made a “Gaming on Windows” page to advertise solitaire, minesweeper, pinball, and Steam.

    Really excited to switch from Win7 to Linux!

    luciferofastora ,

    Did the same when faced with the choice “Lose support, move to Win10, or jump ship entirely?” and installed Ubuntu only. It was a daunting leap for sure, but I’ve only looked back for one particular program that I don’t actually need usually and can run inside a VM.

    BloodSlut , in Linux interoperability is maturing fast thanks to SteamOS

    I was doubtful that the Steam Deck would take off enough for game devs to even make *considerations" to think about any decisions that would improve their game’s compatibility with Proton.

    Im really glad I was wrong

    The absolutely colossal effort from the community is making it possible. Great times are ahead

    Even as a decades long Linux user, I never thought it would sell like it did. And that the editors followed is even more surprising.

    I got one early on, even though I really have a hard time using a controller interface for the first time. So I end up not using it as much as I’d like.

    stephenc , in KDE for Gamers – Enjoy Your Games on Plasma and Linux

    Plasma is the only good Linux desktop left. Gnome has shit itself, all the other alternative DEs are too feature-poor, and WM “desktops” are for people who have more time on their hands than common sense. I’m just afraid that just like the past, Plasma will discover new ways to screw itself over and become trash again and have to climb back out of being complete garbage back up to usable again.

    pimento64 ,

    Put some respect on Cinnamon’s name

    Defaced ,

    I like cinnamon, but any DE that doesn’t support Wayland these days is just shooting itself in the foot. Evolve or fade away, stop hanging onto x11.

    aBundleOfFerrets ,

    System76’s home-developed DE is going to come out one of these days and join the races

    strongarm ,

    Are you having a nice rant?

    njordomir ,

    Plasma is the best for me also. Ever since GNOME 3 went “convergence,” I’ve been looking for a traditional desktop experience. Xfce, cinnamon, and budgie all have good things going for them. I choose to use KDE because I love the customizability of the desktop and the settings menu is easy to use. The theming is also very nice on KDE.

    Polyester6435 ,

    Default gnome has a great keyboard based workflow or the option for a pointer-device based workflow. It doesn’t copy the outdated windows workflow and actually succeeds in pushing its own ideas.

    root , in Linux interoperability is maturing fast thanks to SteamOS

    I built a new gaming PC almost a year ago and decided to jump into the deep end by installing only Linux. 3 reinstalls later and Linux is still the only OS installed. So far so good. :p

    By 3 reinstalls do you mean you were distro-hopping, if so which did you use and what did you like?
