I took the dive into Linux gaming at the start of the year and never switched back to windows. It’s so much better for everything and Steams work on big picture has let me turn my PC into the Linux console of my dreams since the steam machine vaporware days....
Apparently my setup, running the steam deck UI for gaming on my TV, is registering as an actual steam deck. Also unfortunate that the non steam games don’t count, but hopefully next year this will be all purple/blue.
I’ve been seeing a few of this type of post, so I decided to share mine. Now, you might be wondering “why the heck is this guy posting his steam playtime chart in a Linux gaming community, when most of it is windows?”...
I saw there was a somewhat similar post to this, but I’m kind of celebrating the fact that this was the first year I was able to game exclusively on Linux! I’m very thankful for all of the effort from the people involved in all of the aspects of Wine/Proton, it’s great to not need to reboot to play games.
For the past few weeks, the download speed on steam via USB-Tethering on my Linux distro (Arch, btw) has been steadily going, barely reaching 2 MB/s right now. I thought it might be the ISP slowing Steam specifically down, since every other download worked at the expected speed (~15-30 MB/s)....

Decided to try it… Hat in Time 1080p, Very High, VSync OFF. NVK is vulkan-nouveau-git gddf2ca4, on kernel 6.7.0-rc5-1-mainline. Blob is 545.29.06. 3995WX+RTX3090. Proton Experimental....
I’d like to try the new Assassin’s Creed and Avatar, but they’re not on Steam - which is how I play almost every other game on Linux. I know I might be able to install Uplay games using Lutris, but I’m not sure if the experience is as smooth as Steam + Proton....
Since some time, I’m play Satisfactory on Linux. Performance is fine so far. But if I look on the moving conveyer belts with objects like iron ore or other things, this moving parts produce smudged artifacts on the screen. I don’t know what this is called and what I can do against that. I have played the same game on the...
