Hey, I’m looking for some open-world or driving games on Linux where I can just chill, drive way too fast, and listen to a killer soundtrack or radio, smashing into stuff, jumping off ramps, and exploring some nice scenery. something kinda like mafia 2 vibes My device isn't that powerful, so I don’t need anything too demanding. Any recommendations?

I'm looking into building a small form-factor PC to use a console and install bazzite or something to give it that steamos look and feel. Because the build is small form-factor, not every gpu fits in the case that I've decided on. I've narrowed it down to the top Nvidia and top AMD gpu's that can fit inside my system. Those GPUs are the Nvidia RTX 4060 ti and the AMD 6600XT. I've done some research and concluded that the 4060ti is the best performing GPU that I can get, and its much more powerful than 6600xt for around the same price (give or take $50).

The problem is that its an Nvidia GPU, and I know from experience that those don't run super well on Linux, I had my main gaming PC running Fedora for a while and performance was severely limited because I was using an Nvidia card. So my question is, Is it worth it to get an Nvidia GPU if i'm planning on using linux? or should I get another gpu or potentially use the nvidia card on windows?

As a 4070ti desktop owner, I was wondering how many of you with modern or old hardware have decided to play on linux (wiping windows partition).

To make a long story short, the dates of 2016 and 2022 were chosen as the beginning of the 10xx series era and the end of the 30xx series.

How are they able to test and reproduce bugs in almost every issue about any game that is created?

Do they have a shared library? Does each dev have a huge library? Do they share accounts? Do they, you know, yarrrr matey? Or is it pure coincidence?

I'm not complaining. I'm just very curious. Anybody have answers?

Hi guys

I'm thinking about creating a massive indepth guide that covers all the possible scenarios, issues, steps, device specific configuration etc etc for linux gaming.

Ofc this is going to be community maintained. I hate that so many people have to go to a 5 year old post to solve their problems with no results. So, thats why I'm thinking about making this massive guide.

I know its not going to be easy and will take immense time and dedication but slowly we can create a centralized hub of information and documentation.

So to begin with can you guys help me with: - What do you want to see on the website? - How do you think the documentation should be? - Any problems that you wish to be solved should be on website? - Any other suggestions are welcomed

I use EndeavourOS with GNOME on Xorg and play most games with a Dualsene 5 controller. The trackpad on this controller by default moves the mouse around and clicks with it (basically like a trackpad on a laptop), and while that functionality is neat for desktop usage, I do not want this in-game. Through steam input I can map the swipe gestures and clicks to certain actions, but when I do that the mouse behavior is not disabled and is executed together with my remapped action.

Is there any way for me to disable the "mouse" behavior while still being able to use custom steam input (re)maps?

EDIT: GOOD LORD I accidentally solved this after hours of searching just after I posted this.
I had to go into my steam controller settings and disable the desktop layout.
I've been digging through libinput configs just to oversee this simple solution

Leaving this online in case anyone else encounters the same issue in the future.

I have a Dualsense and Nintendo switch pro controller, Steam recognizes both of these controllers, and I can use steam input to customise the button maps and the gyro, but in game no gyro is detected. Additionally, when going to the setup inputs window, there is no option to calibrate gyro. I've tried both wired and through bluetooth, I'm on the most recent version of Ubuntu.

I've had these controllers working in the past, but on a different system (also running Ubuntu).

Just upgraded to a rx7600xt gpu. Things seem to be working fine. Do I need to update video drivers or anything for max performance in games?

I'm still new at linux, but after i came most my games need proccesing shaders and it takes a long time to compiling, Is it required to compile the shaders or not ?

I don't know where else to ask this.

You can enable the dongle's pairing mode by sending the SIGUSR1 signal to xow:

sudo systemctl kill -s SIGUSR1 xow

Is there an equivalent solution on windows?

Thanks.

After getting a VAC error in game, I'm unable to participate in any gamemode.
There's no message being displayed, it just kicks me back to the title screen. Thoughts?

I'm recently having issues with my xbox 360 controller not registering the dpad outside oif steam so I started looking for a new controller.

Currently I'm considering the 8bitdo Ultimate 2C Wireless and the Dualsense. Have you any recommendations and if you have one of those controllers, how are the compatibility with them on Linux?

I'm running arch on a lenovo ideapad.

I already checked that the controller works. I am trying to play Fallout New Vegas when I was setting up the keymapping i could see the inputs but how do add everything. I tried playing using the controller I still couldn't move. And it's not recognizing the analog stick. Could use some assistance.
