I think I've read somewhere that FSR3 has trouble when there is a too low base of "real" frames it has to work with. So don't expect it to do miracles in every scenario.
Hopefully something like this can be included in a future version of Wine/Proton/Proton-GE. Proton-GE doesn't have an issue page. I think one would have to reach out via Discord. I don't use Discord though.
I’m only surprised I don’t have 50%+ on controller vs m+kb. Idk if steam got it wrong, but I’m sure I havent used them for more than a half of my time. Although I wasn’t any inspired fot a gamepad gaming coming from competitive shooters, it feels so right with racing games, fightings and rpgs I’m enjoying rn.
Pretty happy to have 80% on Linux tho. After all these terrible stories of how games don’t work there, it’s a wonder that all I wanted, licensed or pirated, worked out of the box with only minor exclusions. If not for Adobe bastards, there’s no need to have Windows even as a virtual or dual-boot platform. And even them can be replaced with tools like Krita.
If it’s not the year of a Linux desktop, I’m sure 2025 would be.
The controller vs keyboard and mouse was messed up for me apparently, because it didn’t show up this year. And I know I spent 60+ hours using a DualSense on American and Euro Truck Simulator, plus all of my time on the Deck!
Glad to hear Linux gaming is working out for you as well! I started doing some basic gaming on Linux some years back, but I didn’t really start running it on my main gaming computer until a couple of years ago. Then this past year I decided to not boot into Windows to game unless I couldn’t do it on Linux. Then all year it worked just fine! With the push by Valve in recent years it’s made it so easy, as long as the game devs don’t throw roadblocks into it!
My only worry, as I said, are specific programs, but as long as Linux is so good, I’d be better finding workatound from there than trying to emulate windows for them.
That’s my thought on programs like that. Unless you absolutely have to run some extremely esoteric software or something from a company that just hates Linux, it’s usually going to work just fine. It was completely worthwhile to deal with learning a new workflow on a few things to get all of the benefits. I found native replacements that work just as well if not better for every program that I used, except for my music player. I can’t find anything that works quite as well as Aimp, so I just run it through Wine.
My viewpoint on a lot of things is to use what works for you. In my case, Windows didn’t cut it anymore, so I switched to what did!
It is definitely Linux underneath. Technically it says different devices, so that might be why they’re splitting it down. In reality it’s probably a good way to get more advertising for the Deck as people share their stats for the year.
Building a machine that does everything is coming to a household near you! The rest of us, well we’ve been building custom gaming machines for one or two games for a long time.
The tooling is just getting better everyday. I don’t think Windows gaming will ever die but I think the experience has gotten bad enough that people have begun seeking alternatives. If this wasn’t true I don’t think that the SteamDeck would be so successful.
With that being said, I don’t tell everyone to try Linux. I do think that Linux is good for gaming but just hard to use for most gamers. I’ll probably buy a steam deck OLED in March just to “do my part” even though I have far too many custom machines and not enough time to enjoy playing the games.
And there is already a mod that replaces Nvidia Frame Generation with FSR3 in games like Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3 and others: github.com/Nukem9/dlssg-to-fsr3/releases
Let’s just take a moment to recognize his struggle to find a few more programmers
Maybe if we pool together and buy just one more pack of gems (or whatever they call them) they can pull off what must surely be a truly Herculean technical feat
I did do a lot more stuff but only things specific to my personal setup, like having the games on a separate Btrfs partition which can be mounted from other OSs, that kind of stuff.
Assumin all one wants to do is install a few games from Steam, once the setup I described is done, everything is an apt install steam away.
Are there any distro besides steamis (and by extension chimera) that’s support hdr? Or do you just need to launch the game in full screen so it takes over?
I built a couple of HTPCs like 7 years ago or something. Kaby Lake iGPU had support for 4k HDR so I figured I would use the i3 7100T and Linux would add HDR support soon (I was using LibreELEC which was a minimal Linux that just boots into Kodi). Welp still waiting…
How was your experience, technically and gameplay wise?
If Prophecy decides not to enable Linux compatibility of the anticheat (this is a togglable option on their end), I’ll be sure to contact them to try to convince them otherwise.
Didn't have any Problems playing (the one round that I did play). If one has played Tribes before one will feel right at home. Pretty sure they switched the default keybindings up a bit. Shift for sliding and Space for the jetpack.
Since that 545 drivers, I cannot play with Proton 8 at all. Open source drivers don’t have this problem (their problem is performance), so it seems Nvidia f*cked up as usual. However first time hearing this. Can you play native games at least?
