But Now Im very happy with these rusults (top is linux, bot is win11)
Asus zenbook 14 oled with Ultra 7 155H (meteor lake)
Im also getting better battery life

setup:

Linux:
arch with kde via archinstall
installed power-profile-daemons and set to performance
installed and enabled thermald
some ricing unrelated to performance

windows:
installed windows with asus image via cloud recovery wich took about two hours (asus problem)(for some reason installing it with normal windows usb doesnt work well as i had some problems that are too many to list here)
removed some Asus related bloat and services(the uneeded ones since a lot of them are needed for performance), disabled some startup services, used ctt windows utility to tweak and remove more bloat and disable services and telemetry things.
set fan profile to performance on myasus app
set windows power profile to performance.

I do love how many more casual co-op games we're seeing lately, and it looks like S.K.R.U.B. Squad may be one to add to your list.

Maybe not directly related to games but I use a Logitech Hyperion (g405 I think it is), but I haven’t been able to map my buttons according to my use case (game shortcuts when playing, or have the alt + left/right rest of the time), is there any decent work around/alternatives for that?

I do suppose there would be tools that just set the onboard stuff to a default, but it was hoping something with profiles even if it doesn’t automatically detect apps and switch.

Taking inspiration from incremental games with a long progress tree to unlock, NodalBastion is a tower defense game that just keeps on going.

Hey!

I hopped on the Linux train in June and my experience has been great. I never though changing from Windows would be so smooth for someone who likes gaming. Yesterday I pulled the trigger and got myself a 1440p 27" monitor and holy crap it is such a difference. Both for games and work. I have for many years been having a dual 1080p setup.

If there are any people out there who has been thinking on pulling the trigger on 1440p, then I advice you to go for it.

I would like to add that the monitor change has been flawless with Fedora KDE plasma. It worked out of the box with my AMD card.

Edit: I have sometimes connect my PC to my 4k TV and yes it is beautiful. But nothing I use as a daily driver. Plus I prefer having higher fps than even more resolution.

I've been using Linux exclusively for more than three years, and there have been a lot of improvements regarding gaming in that time.

However, one issue I've had to deal with the whole time is that, in many games that require the cursor to be locked to the game (e.g., for camera movement), the cursor would randomly escape to my second monitor. Also, it would not get locked to the game window after I tabbed out and back in again.

Even worse were games with parts that require a locked cursor and parts that allow a movable cursor (like Blue Prince, for example). This would usually unlock the cursor from the game window.

What I tried:

- Exclusive full screen, borderless window, and window.

- GameScope

- I also tried all the recommended Game Scope options, like --force-grab-cursor.

- Using Lutris and Steam

- Trying a multitude of different Proton versions

- Using protontricks/wine config in Lutris, etc., to enable cursor lock to the window.

I even swapped my GPU from Nvidia to AMD, though not to solve this issue, but rather to have a better GPU.

- Reinstalling the OS (Fedora Gnome).

However, no matter what I tried: Nothing changed. The cursor would not reliably stay locked to the game window. It was really infuriating.

What solved it in the end?

I went into Gnome's display options, set the scaling for both monitors to 100%, and made sure the bottom edges of both monitors were perfectly aligned. Suddenly, the cursor stayed locked to the game, and tabbing into the game reliably captured the cursor every time.

I hope this trivial solution helps someone else who struggles with the same problem!

To still have a sort of scaling on my monitors I used gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.25

Valve recently published a Steam Deck Verified rating for the smash-hit extraction shooter ARC Raiders. I decided to see if it deserved the rating.

I am confused, I have been using lutris for a long time (since I started using Linux), but recently I’ve encountered crashes and bugs which prompted me to simply find a good alternative, and my god do people have strong opinions.

During my search, I found people surprised that lutris has not been updated for a year now, and a lot of saying bottles don’t work and hard and bad and they scared me as I’ve used it and it seemed really good (and things related to bottles next I don’t get). I also found a launcher called faugus but it seems really new and I’m unsure if it has what lutris or bottles have in terms of stability and features.

I am simply looking for something that is still being updated, has almost the same features as lutris, so access to windows games and launchers like epic and Ubisoft and so on, and importantly, easy to manage the proton and dependencies versions. I am currently using protonup-QT to install the latest proton on steam so lutris could use it.

What do you use and why? I understand this question has been asked a lot but the why is important in such questions to understand why one launcher was chosen over the other.

so i wanted to play rdr2 (the illegal version) and since i have to set render to vulkan in winetricks , is there alternative way to do it in bottles instead of changing my launcher to heroic or lutris?

Wasn't sure about which flair or tag to put so I'm gonna go plain. This might get asked a dozen or a thousand times already but there have been new developments in recent times.

Paradox games have provided Linux native games, most notably Hearts of Iron IV & Europa Universalis 4, but seeing that new EU5 has dropped Linux native support citing "increased work on support and development of Proton" which I think is just bs and laziness.

With booming success of handhelds running Linux and upcoming Linux consoles by Valve (Steam) it actually surprises me that lots of new games don't have either Native nor somewhat good Proton support (mainly thinking of games like Call of Duty not working due to their kernel-level anti-cheat) with around 4 million steam decks around the world, that's quite considerable marketshare, if they sold just a million of copies that would be significant earning.

Now my question is, why are investments into Linux quite low from biggest of developers, while small, up and coming developers from games such as Dispatch or Silksong, have quite good proton support and their games work like a charm.

I've been torn between these two considering how well they do gaming in their own way but I can only work with one on my machine right now.
