Starting research for an eventual switch to Linux, would like some leads on distros & software that would suit me.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. April 2024 - 17:48

I plan on building a new PC in the next year or so, since my current one is pretty long in the tooth. and would like to take that opportunity to ditch Windows as well. It's not going to happen for a while yet but I want to start my research early so I have a clear picture of what I'm getting into and what adjustments I might have to make. Here's what all I'm looking for in my PC:

  • Gaming-wise I mostly play older games & Indies/AAs. Stuff like Morrowind, CRPGs, strategy games, etc. The big exceptions are Total War Wahammer 3, and Armored Core 6. Running them on higher settings is the main reason I want to upgrade. Beyond that I would certainly like the option of playing AAA games, in case something cool comes out later, but I don't often get games on release so I don't have a problem having to wait for stuff like patches/fixes.

  • I do like modding my games. From my admittedly very brief look at the subject mods may be the biggest hurdle, so any resources on modding games on Linux would be appreciated.

  • Outside gaming I also use my PC for streaming TV/movies. Mostly through 3rd party sites and YouTube clients like Freetube (which I know has Ubuntu compatible versions. I don't anticipate many issues with these but if problems exist then finding out beforehand is what this post is for.

  • I use a living room setup with a television rather than a traditional desk. I have a wireless KB+M and the Bluetooth Keyboard app on my phone (for when I want to watch stuff while on my recliner). Can I expect these to work out of the box, or will they need setup? If Bluetooth Keyboard doesn't work are there other good apps for using my phone as a mini KB+M?

What is your solution for screen-sharing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. April 2024 - 17:40

Hi, I use screen sharing a lot on Discord, but man, it sucks on Linux. No sound, and the quality is bad. What alternatives or solutions do you guys know of? Twitch and such has too much delay.

What's the best way to install Epic Games (launcher) on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. April 2024 - 15:39

I'm using Garuda (Arch based) and for Epic most guides I find are for installing it through Lutris. Some people say that certain launchers can be installed through Steam, so I tried that first. Battle.net works for me fine this way!

It installed, but I don't seem to be able to launch Epic now (through Steam). So perhaps for this particular launcher it's not possible or through Lutris is the better way in this case. Or maybe even another way is preferred...

edit: formatting and spelling Please let me know, thanks in advance! :)

Recommend a New OS Distro for Me

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. April 2024 - 15:22

I'm thinking of switching from Manjaro to another Linux distro. I've got an all AMD Desktop PC. I use it mostly to play games and browse the web, with a little programming on the side. My monitor is a standard IPS with no HDR. Ram use is not an issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The Finals + Proton Experimental (Proton 9 Beta)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. April 2024 - 14:31

Here is a video that I have been testing for about 2 weeks already without any crashes. The video includes 2 changes (one for the sysctl.conf file, one for the video settings in game) and 3 play sessions to show no crashes (Although the hiccups are still there).

How Linux behaves on Legion 7 G7 full AMD?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. April 2024 - 12:53

Hi, dunno if this sub is correct but i thought some of you could have this amazing machine with Fedora so i decided to write this post here. I'm interested in buying the Lenovo LEGION 7 G7 with Ryzen 9-6900HX and Radeon RX 6850M XT and i'm looking for feedbacks on how Fedora39 runs on this beast from someone who extensively use it on Linux!

I've seen some posts and seems everything is fine but they are a bit old and maybe something could have raise in between. I mostly care about fingerprint compatibility, profiles supports, audio quality, wifi, camera and graphic driver.

This would be my first premium AMD laptop so i was wondering, how does Linux supports AND graphic drivers? Are they official from AMD and open-source? Are they shipped in the most common distros? What performance they have ? Please, drop me whatever advise you feel about this topic ! Many thanks !

Steam big picture capturing controller input behind Heroic games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. April 2024 - 12:41

This issue has been driving me nuts for a while, really hoping someone here can help!

On my gaming rig, I'm using popOS, and run most games through Steam big picture - which all works pretty flawlessly.

But I've got a few games in other libraries, and currently I'm playing through The Witcher 3 from my GOG library - installed via the Heroic game launcher.

I've added the game to Steam using the built-in function in Heroic, which works fairly well - I can launch the game from Steam BP without any problems. But the issue I'm getting in-game is that Steam BP is reading the controller input from the game. So for example, when I scroll up and down in the game menu, I can hear the Steam UI sounds playing behind the game. Sometimes it will even attempt to launch other games through Steam, depending on what controller input it picks up.

I'm struggling to find anything online as it seems quite a specific issue, anyone else had this/got any suggestions?

Where is Johnny - Dev Log

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. April 2024 - 12:24

Hello,

Today I reviewed the dialogues between the main character and the 3 “super” enemies, updated the minimap for greater readability.

Added a new technique the “huricane kick”.

A good part of optimization. Before, the more we advanced in the map, the more objects and memories we had. With 2-3 well-placed threads, memory is better managed and I have also stabilized the FPS, I no longer have big drops and lags.

The rest will mainly be done with blender, I will add projection animations, I need 3.

Good game

How to run MangoHud in a Steam game with a second Launcher

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. April 2024 - 09:37

I'm trying to see what my FPS is in Bioschock Remastered. Usually, this wouldn't be a problem. I just type in mangohud %command% and it's right there. However this game has to launch the 2K games launcher first, and mangohud appears on screen for the launcher, but once the game is launched through the seperate launcher it disappears. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this?
