Arc Raiders performance on minimum settings?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30 Oct 2025 - 1:23pm

I was wondering whether this game would work on my i5-6600k, RX580 and 16 GB RAM, or I should wait until I upgrade my PC?

I am looking for stable framerate, hopefully as close to 60FPS as possible, with ok visuals at 1080p.

After distro hopping for quite a while, I think I'm settling with Nobara HTPC, at least for now.....

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30 Oct 2025 - 11:40am

I would just like to share my journey to switching to Linux for gaming and maybe it could help someone else or even me in the future LOL

Been using Linux for the past 15 years or so but I've never played games on it, never even tried.
For the past few months, I bought an SSD, decided to check it out and distro hopped.

I first tried gaming on Ubuntu 24.04 which is my main OS and for the games I tried, it actually worked well. This is when I first discovered that gaming on Linux feels smoother because of the more consistent frametimes and less micro-stutters. But for various reasons, I decided not to game on it.

I then distro hopped between Bazzite, CachyOS and Nobara. I encountered a few issues in each of them which made me try other distros. For example, Bazzite automatically mounted my Windows Steam libraries which was a surprise but I didn't like it. In CachyOS, I encountered instabilities and crashes with the actual desktop. I also wasn't able to make my Xbox wireless adapter to work.

I was ready to try other distros like Omarchy and PopOS but luckily I was able to fix my major issues in Nobara HTPC.

  • I got my Xbox wireless adapter to work after a couple of tries using Nobara's driver manager. Honestly, not sure how but it worked after reinstalling and physically wiggling it or plugging/unplugging the adapter it suddenly worked and paired 😅
  • Games detecting my PC as Steam Deck was fixed by putting `SteamDeck=0 %command%` in the launch options.
  • Washed out and weird color with HDR enabled on Heroic Launcher games was fixed by installing the gamescope flaptpak.
  • Heroic launcher cloud saves were downloaded after launching the game at least once and reaching a point in the game where save files are generated. After this, save paths are properly detected and you can now force to download your save data. I haven't tried syncing though so not sure how well they work.
  • I even had a weird issue with my 2 8Bitdo controllers where only one works properly. I fixed this by moving the wireless adapters to different USB ports. Not sure exactly how they should be but I think they shouldn't be plugged in 2 adjacent USB ports.

I was able to setup the games that my nieces and nephews play whenever they're here. I kinda wish there's an option to select a controller that can control the system UI though because I'm imagining chaos whenever we're in gaming mode UI LOL
I also got my games working including the next games I will play like Ori.

It's still not perfect though. For example, Guardians of the Galaxy for some reason gets really slow like single digit FPS. Seems like a VRAM memory leak or something. I was able to play this totally fine on Windows. Also, not sure if I'm just doubting Linux but I think HDR still looks a bit better on Windows?

Hopefully there will also be a way to play Microsoft store games because I discovered that I bought Forza Horizon 4 from Microsoft store for some reason, I really don't remember why LOL

Anyway, I think I'm staying on this distro unless I find something major that I can't live with.

Just an extra thing, it was cool that my phone has an app that helped me distro hop. It basically acts like a USB drive when connected to a PC and I can select any ISO I want 😄
It's available on Ubuntu Touch but I have no idea if such thing exists in Android or other Linux mobile distros.
