Hello Linux gamers!

Happy to announce that my platformer Ayasa: Shadows of Silence launches on November 28. The game now works on Linux and Steam Deck via Proton.

Is it comparable to windows, worse, or better? I know they're not the best for gaming but for simple indie games and older games, how do these perform? I have the intel UHD 620.

Just looking for some anecdotes, thanks!

Hello everybody!

Quick context: I have two computers — a personal one (Windows) and a work one (macOS Sequoia). Lately I've felt that Windows is getting worse, so I finally got tired of it and decided to switch to Linux.

I’ve been reading a bit and even asked ChatGPT (sorry) for distro recommendations. I use my personal PC mainly for gaming, watching series/movies, browsing, and occasionally working from home (I’m a data engineer). ChatGPT recommended Nobara, but I’ve also seen many people saying it’s not the best option for gaming. That’s where I started getting confused.

What I’m looking for:

- A distro that lets me play games without headaches.

- Something I can customize to look similar to macOS (not for the Apple hype, but because I really love the Sequoia aesthetics).

- Reasonable compatibility with apps like ObsidianMD, KeeperSecurity, NearDrop, Steam etc. Not sure how well they work on Linux.

- Opinions on whether I should use an antivirus on Linux, especially since I game and download stuff.

Basically: is it realistic to have “the best of both worlds”? Meaning a macOS-like look + solid gaming performance.

Any advice or experience is super helpful. I’m pretty lost but eager to learn.

Thanks for reading!

Does it work well, is there trouble with boot or fans or hibernate/sleep mode ? Battery life maybe ? Even though its not great even on Windows.

All of my games are on the original Windows 10 SSD. This SSD is in the only Gen4 NVME slot on my mobo so I would prefer to add that drive to my Bazzite Steam Library. Is this possible?

Or is there a way to access the games on the Win10 SSD and move the files over to the Bazzite?

Hello,

Let me start with a quote by Aaron Griffin which is close to my personal philosophy:

If you try to hide the complexity of the system, you'll end up with a more complex system. Layers of abstraction that serve to hide internals are never a good thing. Instead, the internals should be designed in a way such that they need no hiding.

The most detailed gaming guide I found is Kwindu but its level of detail was unsatisfying for me.

I am planning for a new gaming setup guide but using lower-level system tools. I created a small snippet HERE and I'd appreciate your feedback before proceeding.

Edit. The motivation is to educate a Linux Gamer to debug his machine and configure it like a power user.

In the market for a new powerful laptop ready for the holiday season? Perhaps give a look to the new KDE Slimbook VII.

I have a fresh Bazzite install, after having such a good time with SteamDeck, but ForzaHorizon 5 does not work at all. Tried Proton 7 to 9, Experimental, GE-Latest.

After clicking Play it starts, synchronizes cloud and stops without even window opening.

I have it installed on an external SSD, but files are validated. Once I got a problem with Experimental install, where it reported "Could not write to disk".

Any ideas? Thanks

EDIT: Checked my steamdeck where it works flawlessly, login and everything, it uses Proton 10.0-3

Hi,

I'm writing this message here just to know if this is also something happening to more people:

Since recently (2-3 days ago) the Steam Recordings stopped worked on certain games and in others they work "weird", like it says it's not recording (red dot is grey and hover message is "not recording") but you can see the blue bar and get clips, however it's not possible to access to the full recording from Steam interface

I.e.:

- ARC Raiders: not working at all, can't do clips or anything. It worked perfectly before

- Peglin: working "weird", it records (blue bar) but the red icon is grey and full recording is not accessible from Steam UI. I can create clips, and they're displayed in Steam UI ok

I tried restarting the folder of recordings, and I tested in 2 different computers. I also tested with the different recording modes (all time recording or activate manually), etc and no luck

I'm using Linux Mint 22, my GPUs in both computers are AMD (different models)

Thanks on advance! Looking forward to see your comments

HELLDIVERS 2 is still one of the best online co-op action games around, and we're finally going to be able to get a minigun to really tear through enemies.

More turn-based strategy goodness inspired by Advance Wars? Yes please. Apes Warfare gives us another spin on the classic genre out now in Early Access.

While i got >120FPS on Windows, WarThunder on Linux is between 20-60FPS. It starts usable bur after some minutes the FPS start dropping till the whole game just stutters and the picture get grainy.
I do not have a similar problem with any game under linux.

I#m using Fedora KDE 43 actually, but the same problem i have since about 5 years or so. I started playing warthunder on Linux, but at one point years ago i was forced to move to Windows because of that.

It does not make any difference if i install WarThunder via steam or via the linux-installer.

Does anybody knew that problem? Is that typical or just "my fault" somehow?

I start warthunder via the Starter, not via Steam.
