I'm an old git and have since forever lived with the trade off / old truth that a gaming computer have to run windows. But I recently realised that I only play games från my Steam library, and as such Linux gaming is most definitely a thing.

I'm installing Linux this Christmas vacation, period.

Only thing left is to choose a good enough distro.

As an old git, I immediately thought of Ubuntu as the safe/easy choice. But I see a lot of viable "gaming" distros seem to favour Fedora?

Bazzite looks nice, and is based on Fedora. But why shouldnt I just install Fedora instead?

I need my gaming PC for two things: 1: Play my Steam Games (and I will not come anywhere close to any of the modern "anti cheat" multiplayer games, I'm too old). 2: Handling and slicing 3d files, I'm probably just going to use Lychee slicer for this unless I can find som nice open source slicer (Lychee is great, and has a Linux version already).

From what I gather I will be good on pretty much any distro, but I want a reasonably easy installation and setup. I'm not looking for a ton of customization, if I boot up my computer and it looks and feels like any old boring desktop thats fine with me as long as its running Linux under the hood and lets me do my two main hobbies.

Any downside to Fedora with a standard KDE desktop? My reasoning is that Fedora is big, well maintained and is guaranteed to be updated?

I'm not here to attack anyone, I'm just wondering... I've been creating games on Linux for a while now and recently created another free experimental artistic anti-game (https://arthursouzasally.itch.io/banal), but I started to wonder if there's a possibility that in the future the Linux-based gaming market could grow and become king of something...

I'm not asking if Linux will one day dethrone Windows as the world's leading gaming platform, but sometimes "Where are the most experimental games?" or "Where are the most artistic games?"... Do you think this is possible or is it just the delusions of someone who develops on Linux and ports to Windows?

For fans of this FPS series, it may well be an instabuy! Steam page and GOG listings.

The blurb: "Dungeons of DUSK is a classic turn based dungeon crawling RPG that takes place canonically between the episodes of the cult classic FPS. Are you... WORTHY?"

It's the third Linux distro i'm trying but I can't play the games I want, I saw a Lot of people running the games I want on Linux and when I try I get a thousand of errors and none of the solutions work for me. Dead by Daylight doesn't even launch easy anti cheat, CS2 it's running on 30 fps and with shader bugs. I really wanted to only use Linux but I'm almost giving up.

my system: 5800X, 3070Ti, Driver Version: 580.105.08, Fedora 43 KDE

CS2 on my system has been struggling since I installed it, having missing/wrong looking textures and generally sluggish feeling performance even though I have nvidia reflex + boost enabled. It also has no option for fullscreen or borderless fullscreen mode, and doesn't seem to recognize my monitor properly. The console is constantly spamming this error message:

[RenderSystem] TEXTURESTREAMING: Extremely low memory

I've tried different video settings and these launch options: gamemoderun %command% -fullscreen but so far nothing has helped.

Is there some setup I'm missing to get this game running properly? Here is what I'm seeing while playing the game

UFL is out for PC now, has anyone tried playing it on Linux with Proton? It has its own launcher on the UFL website, but it's not on Steam yet.

Hi, I'm Sven, the lead artist of SuperTuxKart.

If you're not familiar with STK, it's an arcade kart racer with many different maps, game modes, and both online and offline multiplayer.

In this first devlog about STK Evolution, we show several improvements to the kart physics, as well as changes to the way karts collect items, now the actual size of the kart matters.

STK Evolution is the next major version of SuperTuxKart, which we are currently developing.

What would make you most excited to pick up the game, new tracks or new gameplay mechanics? Something else? I like both, but as a track maker, new tracks are what I want the most.

I just switched to mint and I want to mangohud working. For context: the state of 14s account management is very weird. There is a steam version but it can't be merged with the mogstation version. The mogstation version is the one that I have, it comes with its own launcher. That launcher isnt supported on Linux but a separate launcher for injecting mods does work. This is called XIVLauncher. So I have to use XIVLauncher and I can't use the steam version.

The toggle in goverlay to have mangohud on and looking for games isnt working and every tutorial I can find is about making steam work.

I installed Sober on my machine and went to play a game. After 15 seconds or less, the screen froze, crashed, and then returned to the login screen. I started Sober from the terminal and took a screenshot when it froze.

Ok so I know Nvidia loses ~20% performance on Linux drivers vs windows across the board because of their bad Linux drivers. And amd is more consistent in performance vs windows. But I know amd RT part of the Linux driver used to be mid. Has that gotten better yet? I don't use rt in all my games but still I'm curious. Considering a 9700xt before shit hits the entire fan.

I've tried the default proton and proton GE with the same issue. I'm using SteamVR + ALVR with a dual GPU system but I don't usually have issues with Unity based games. I can try wiVRn + open composite but it doesn't really work with wLX overlay and I have it via flatpak

Недавно заблокировали роблокс. Мой ноутбук плохо тянет Windows 11/10, так что я использую Linux mint.
У меня есть zapret, я видел различные ролики на Windows, где в zapret-е есть список, где можно добавить сайты роблокса. Есть ли что то подобное на Линуксе??? Просто когда я настроил и включил zapret, он не работал на Sober, но на сайт роблокса и ютуб работал. Помогите пожалуйста!!!
