I can’t seem to find the time spent by platform? I remember seeing it last year but now I don’t? Edit : I think that’s because I actually played 100% on Linux wow!

Still a bit irritated by defining VR as a platform on the same level as Linux or Windows, but whatever.

naticus ,

I kinda think they did that because of the Quest since what do you call that if you’re only playing games installed in the headset, not using Quest Link?

Cirk2 ,
@Cirk2@programming.dev avatar

You can run steam games on the quest (without link)? I thought it was locked to the occulus store.

naticus ,

Sorry, no I didn’t mean it could play Steam games without Link. I was just saying that there is precedent for calling it a platform of its own because of how Quest works. Sure, on Steam it’s going to be based on the OS running it, but VR is a more unique experience than the OS being the platform.

I switched 2 weeks ago, 12% of my years playtime is on Linux now. Should I be concerned about how active I am?

Same here! We 100% Linux people don’t get a chart, but we know exactly where we stand.

Linux gaming all the way! “Just tried a VR game on someone else’s machine.” image

adept , in Trying Linux gaming & never looking back. Proton is amazing.

For Rocket league you need to manually enable proton under properties.

Its running without problems for me now

I mostly play old games that struggle even in windows sadly. I’ll probably need a windows machine or VM until I die.

KpntAutismus ,

don’t use linux myself, but i’ve heard wine has great backward compatibility with older games.

but you probably tried installing them yourself, so…

AlexWIWA ,

Yeah the C&C games don’t run too well in it sadly. Don’t know why someone down voted you, you’re just trying to help :/

AVincentInSpace , in "I would like to switch to Linux, but it's just not good for gaming"

mmmm call me back when cyberpunk 2077 can hold a stable 30FPS at 1440p on steam deck settings on my laptop’s 3070Ti.

BabyVi ,

Cyberpunk runs astonishingly well on my desktop at the same resolution with an AMD 5700XT, maybe its the Nvidia drivers causing issues.

AVincentInSpace ,

Linux users stopping reading a post asking for help and reaching for the downvote button as soon as they see the word Nvidia. Nice to see some things don’t change.

Daefsdeda ,

Maybe people thought you were comparing steam deck to your laptop (which is of course a unfair comparison) cause that is how I read it at first.

AVincentInSpace ,

i am and my laptop is losing

KpntAutismus ,

from what i know, you can either install official nvidia drivers or ones the community wrote.

sounds like they’re using community drivers. because they typically don’t perform very well.

AVincentInSpace ,

no i’m using the proprietary drivers

Kernel Level Anti-Cheat. If you don’t understand that, then you don’t know if Linux is good or bad for “gaming”.

Basically everything you want to play on Linux, that is not supported by the anti-cheat kernel is screwed.

“Steam offers all these game to play on Linux” - yes, but I played them all 20 years ago.

Try playing something like Genshin Impact. You cannot, the anticheat is Windows only. (PS and consoles, it relies on anticheat mech’s from the HW). They don’t offer a Linux version - so you are screwed.

Does it have EAC or Battleeye? You are shit out of luck.

The Linux Desktop is ready for primetime, but not for gaming. You need a windows boot for gaming, unless you are playing Half-Life…

blind3rdeye ,

Wait, you’re saying you like Windows specifically so that you can give miscellaneous companies the highest level of privileged access to your computer, a power which they say they want to use to check that you aren’t cheating. That’s the reason you want to use Windows?

BrownianMotion ,
@BrownianMotion@lemmy.world avatar

No, you total bell end.

I support and do everything in Linux, and I can. But I cannot play games I want to play. I have to use windows to play what I want to play, because companies that make games do not support Linux.

How fucking retarded are you?

Never mind, you are probably just another aimbot using n00b in some old game that still runs on Linux, that no one cares about anymore.

blind3rdeye ,

Holy smokes man. Did you learn your social skills from those same multiplayer games you are talking about?

Genshin does work in linux since a few months ago from what i heard

jack ,

You’re right about kernel-level anticheat like Vanguard not working, but there is EAC support for Linux; see Apex Legends.

stargazer4416 , in Trying Linux gaming & never looking back. Proton is amazing.

I tried a couple of times already, but always feel it’s not quite ready yet… Games not starting or running slower, etc. Running latest Ubuntu, Wayland and new PC with an RTX4060ti. What am I doing wrong?

Mereo ,

Nvidia and Wayland are a bad combination (Nvidia’s Wayland support is to blame). Try the latest 545 drivers.

nargacu83 , in Trying to narrow down an extremely infuriating issue with Mesa on an AMD GPU
@nargacu83@lemmy.world avatar

RX6600 on arch. It was kinda a nightmare a few weeks ago ngl. The whole screen freeze, lost the video signal then gives false hopes by returning the signal to the screen but still freezed requiring a hard reset.

  • I crashed in the middle of a game.
  • I crashed on the desktop when i just started the session.
  • I crashed every time i tried to open blender 4.0 because i enabled the HIP option, some rocm or mesa had dependencies issues or something, i ended up installing the flakpak.
  • I was blown away when i discovered that launching LibreOffice made me crash, ended up using the flatpak too.

I made a new fresh install of arch on a different drive and did some quick tests, the issue was still here.

I’m not having those frequent freezes anymore so there’s that. Don’t know what’s so special about these cards but holy moly that’s my first time having so many issues with a graphics card.

Linux Gamers - “Sure am stoked that gaming on Linux has gotten so good, finally don’t feel like I need to keep Windows”

Randos - “Wow, such copium! It didnt work for my specific use case! Linux users are so obnoxious!”

neatchee ,

If your quote was the title of this post then the “randos” wouldn’t show up. But it’s not. 🤷

SquirtleHermit ,

Idk man, I get how you could read the title as confrontational, but every pro Linux post has these “randos”. Haters gonna hate. 🤷‍♂️

Welcome to the club!

The only game I can’t play is rocket league.

Have you tried it on Heroic Games Launcher yet? I play RL from time to time with a buddy, and both of us have gotten it to work without any notable issues via Heroic.

Yinchie , in "I would like to switch to Linux, but it's just not good for gaming"

Steamdeck = Linus.

Kittenstix ,

Well… Yes but, the year in gaming circle graph differentiates between steamdeck and Linux, i only know because my pc runs only Linux.
