Hiho! For 3 years I'm solo developing an idle MMORPG, hand-written from scratch, without using any engines/frameworks. All logic server-side (no cheating / data mining). And yes, it works on Linux as it's browser-based :D

Recently I've added guest mode (no registration required), tutorial an much more stuff!

I'm sharing it here because I think it's well suited for Linux users, as it's both quite minimalistic and complex at the same time. I'm also a maintainer of Tangaria (MMO roguelike), and many players there use Linux.

Key features of Idlemir:

- Mostly AFK / semi-AFK gameplay: set up a build and see how it performs
- Freedom: be good or bad
- The map: a huge world with different terrain and features that affect your hero
- Exploration: each location (and there are thousands) can be explored
- A serious, book-like storyline that unfolds over time
- Long-term progression - improve 100+ skills, from stealing and musicianship to transmutation and treasure hunting
- Offline progress (gold, stat points, rest experience)

Game works in desktop/mobile and very low traffic (<1 MB/hour):

The game is still in early testing - some mechanics are incomplete, but there won't be a wipe; only some resources may be removed if exploits are found during testing

Feedback is very welcome. I read everything and regularly implement changes based on it. Thank you for it, folks! w00t :D

So basically, I am currently running debian and installed The Crew. After running a while it was giving pretty damn lag after smooth rendering for some minutes. I started to search about the driver used in windows which gives shared RAM memory to the gpu for well optimization and found that i915 was the problem for me. It is mature and less buggy but also gives less performance for my case. So i just switched to the xe graphics. Here's the link to what I did, thought it will be helpfull for some folks 😄 :

On Windows I can use flags to install the DLCs without needing any interaction, can I do the same with the .sh installers? I can't seem to find any info on this.

I have tried using installer.sh --help installer.sh -- --help installer.sh --info

but none list any parameters to use

When I tried out Subnautica 2 on windows (Medium, no TSR/DLSS), I got around 60 FPS, with extremely poor 1%lows, I tried linux and on the same settings and savefile, I am getting 106 average FPS which seems like a crazy jump for me, how could this be? I have a tiny10 dualboot with cachyos, and this just seems like a big jump, to get 40 FPS more from a game like this.

Can I play on a private session with my friend that uses Windows and I use Linux? Will Anticheat detect that?

Is it true that you can only play on private sessions and not public on Linux?

Thanks!

Hello! I'm inexperienced with trying to run games off of Linux, but I've become dissatisfied with Windows so I'm trying to switch over.

I've gotten Battlenet to work through a Steam launcher, and it's able to launch WoW, but it doesn't work properly once it launches.

I have game audio, and my cursor changes to the armored hand from WoW, but my screen only shows the applications I had open before launching the game. If I try to click, it becomes apparent I am interacting with the game window I just can't see it.

I've tried searching online, and I found similar (but not the same) issues were resolved by updating drivers. That didn't seem to change anything for me, though.

If anyone has a tip or help, I'd appreciate it.

I've attempted launching through Lutris and Faugus rather than Steam to see if any changes came, but there were no improvements.

Hi All,

As the title says, i will be buying a gaming laptop soon and it will be most likely a Lenovo Legion Pro 5 with a RTX 5070Ti GPU.

My experience with Linux is extensive, but gaming on Linux is relatively new for me. Are there any hardware compatibility concerns i should be aware of? Lenovo allows for some swapping of components (e.g. AMD vs Intel CPU) so I would love to know what you guys think about this.

Thanks!
