Do you think valve hasn’t been investing a crazy amount in Linux gaming? Has any other person or company done more to make gaming better on the platform?
It’s not a competition. What the Wine project achieved in 30 years isn’t an argument against the achievements of Proton which has only been around for 5 years.
It’s impossible to deny the investment of Steam into making gaming on Linux work better.
Edit: I didn’t see your ninja edit. I get it: Steam is bad so all the effort they put into enabling gaming on Linux is bad as well…
I was asked if I think valve is Investing crazy amount of money.I don’t. They have a lot of financial interest in seeing Linux succeed. Their investment seems appropriate.
I’ve been asked if somebody had more impact on Linux gaming. Wine is the answer and is undeniable.
I never said that also. Just stating that valve did one thing good for Linux gamers and 1000 bad ones. Wine did only good.
What are 5 of the 1000 bad things Valve has specifically done for Linux gamers? 5 things that are on par with the (apparently) “one” good thing Valve did for Linux gamers, which is (I guess) create a gaming distro and distro-independent open-source compatibility layer that enables phenomenal performance, sometimes even better than running linux native code? A compatible layer co-developed by CodeWeavers, known for being one of, if not THE biggest contributor to Wine and the primary maintainer of the Wine project?
of course i do im just not going to sit here and pretend that Steam hasn’t done a tremendous amount to make that accessible and easier. None of this is a dig on Wine I used it for years. idk why you’re coming off so aggressive about wine you need to chill
I would not use mint with cinnamon if you intend to game. It has some compositing issues which can cause performance problems. I personally ditched mint for Manjaro KDE, but you could give something with gnome a go, too. PopOS is popular, while for KDE, Neon seems good. My non-techy sister happily uses Vanilla OS.
Also, the open source nvidia driver is not suitable for gaming. As explained by others, it leaves much to be desired in terms of performance.
When the display is not detected, I assume it’s not even showing up in display settings? When I turn on my projector, I have to “enable” it in display setup before I get output.
Mint was my distro of choice for a while as well. Unfortunately, when I jumped back into linux for the second time after several years back on windows about a year ago, it had changed very little. In fact it had yet to resolve several bugs that I had struggled with, years before.
KDE meanwhile has been the desktop UI upgrade I always wanted. I’ve used gnome a bit as well, and it too has come a long way, I hope PopOS works out for you.
If you want, you can put Ventoy on your USB instead of making it into a boot drive for one iso at a time. Once Ventoy is installed onto a usb drive, you can just pop .iso files onto it and it will ask which one you want when you boot from it. This way you can try a dozen distros with very little hassle. AND it still works as a normal usb drive too, you can put other files onto it and Ventoy will just ignore anything that isn’t an iso.
What I mean by enable, is that I have to go to display settings, open up the projector, and check the “enabled” box to get a picture. It’s detected, but just does nothing by default. Just making sure this wasn’t what you were encountering, that the display is in fact not there at all.
Your Only Move is Hustle - Basically a TAS Fighting game, the game plays like chess meets a fighter game, you preselect moves at the same time as your opponent, then they play out. Sounds super simple when explained like that but there are so many complications to this basic formula (cancels, bursts, DI, parries, to name a few), that it is actually very interesting.
Omega Strikers - Air Hockey meets MOBA, although the game is dying a little, but the devs are still active and they just released a new character, their design never disappoints and the OST is fire.
The Definitive Edition is now free to play, and buying the full game is quite cheap. Unless you have a particular desire to play the original game, that might be a better option.
Not exactly a “game”, but a collection of games – XCloud. And yes I know “Microsoft bad”, etc but its an awesome choice for extremely low powered devices like the Orange Pi zero 3. (its power consumption varies through 1W to 3W.)
t. Am typing this on mine (1 GiB) and it runs extremely well (60 fps, with almost unnoticeable hiccups.)
I’d recommend Borderlands 2. It runs beautifully even on Intel HD4000 and it’s less than $5 on sale. It’s much better with friends, but I’ve enjoyed most of it by myself and absolutely love it.

Fairly easy. I found a guy with a huge sword and good melee weapons. I was able to smash everything and save enough ammo to just shoot my way through the last hoards.
I bought it and returned it. I’m being very picky here but I didn’t like the idea that a lvl 99 player can just massacre lvl 1. I think that’s why a lot of people were playing the rebound mod which is more random and levels the playing field but it’s also very long. I would prefer if advanced players had it more difficult, not easier.
Tetris is one of the games that fucks me up a bit. It’s all comes down to automatic responses and after some time it just gets inside my head and when I close my eyes call I can see are falling blocks. Can’t play it.
I understand! I personally dont suffer too much from this but I get that. I am not very automatic when playing tetris, I am often looking to do T-spins and that kind of stuff so I actively think about the setups I want to build
