Hey everyone,

I’m running Arch Linux and was wondering if there’s any working way to play Valorant on Linux.

I know Riot’s kernel-level anti-cheat (Vanguard) has historically been the main blocker, but I’ve seen mixed posts online—some saying it’s impossible, others mentioning workarounds or future support.

Has anyone here actually gotten Valorant running on Arch (or any other distro)?
If so:

• What kernel / Wine / Proton version?
• Any special tweaks or patches?
• Is it even worth trying right now, or should I just dual-boot (don't like windows and offcourse secure boot issue with dual boot)?

Thanks in advance! I’d love to avoid installing Windows just for one game, but I’ll do it if that’s the only realistic option.

I am/was seriously considering swapping into Linux for my next laptop but I admit that while I used it before it was very "cute" and small things. So I wanted to now what specs should I get/not get for a PC. Does it really change in terms of what you want in a good gaming PC.(Like say does a Lenovo LOQ actually a good idea for this?)
Thank you for your time and attention.

I recently played around with Gamescope on my Nvidia card PC and wanted to share my experience with you. That's why I wrote a little guide on how to use it correctly.

Hope it's helpful to some Linux Gamers who are struggling with it.

I have a gaming laptop ASUS TUFF A17 Ryzen 4 4600H processor, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 528gb NVME GEN4 SSD, RTX3050 4GB GPU. I want to switch to Linux ever since I started useing Arch linux in my workplace. I am also a cybersecurity student so I have used kali linux and might need related softwares in the distro as well. But at home in majority I play games and do live streams some times. The games I play are 1. Genshin Impact 2. Wuthering waves 3. Combat master 4. Warframe 5. God of war

And some other titles in all these genshin and combat master are my top priority.

So with that in mind which distro should I choose ??? And how to play games on it smoothly??

Hello! Thinking of getting a Pi 500 for trying gaming on ARM before the Steam Frame is out. Does anyone have any experience with Steam+FEX on it?

\"Chained Together\" loading screen with MangoHUD overlay

I am running games with command `MANGOHUD=1 prime-run gamemoderun %command%` on steam. `gamemoded -t` passes all its tests and everything works as expected. but in-game performance is not steady at all. I tried so many different things until I managed to offload games onto my Nvidia GPU using the mentioned command.

The game runs but the fps drops drastically when moving the camera around. it is fine when you stand still in the game.

I'm lost, I don't even know what to look into at this stage.

I'm running the game with "Proton Experimental" on:

So what is this? What's your opinion on it?

I'm playing kcd 1 and can't open my console, I thought it would be an issue with what key that's bound to in the game. It worked on windows, but I don't know what the code/reference us for the tilde / ² key on linux to rebind it. I'm using Fedora.

Pay attention, dude. Pay attention, dude. Wayland folds under real GPU load, which is why I've always referred to it as a little toy project. Every time I say that, a chorus of "WorksOnMyMachine" warriors who have never used more than 5% of their GPU respond. I tell them to go render something in Blender, but I don't think any of them have the processing capacity to comprehend the instruction.

Are you curious about what happens to this "protocol" when your GPU is operating at full capacity? Allow me to instruct you. Hey, it's a slideshow. A side show. A circus. I can switch windows and press the hotkeys, but what about my mouse cursor? It's on vacation. It is taking a 24-hour vacation. Congratulations! Your $2000 rig is now a very costly and warm paperweight for the next 24 hours after you begin a 24-hour render. It appears that a new GPU is the true cost of Wayland. It's getting really pricey, dude.

I'm not familiar with the technical jargon that goes on behind the scenes, but I am aware that it has "atomic frames." My cursor is being synchronized with nonexistent frames. It is awaiting a bus that was transported to the shadow realm. And why? Because your desktop is not a priority on Linux. Wayland just sits there, courteously attempting to sync your frozen cursor with a framebuffer that has given up on life, while a background render can mug your entire GUI in a back alley and consume all the GPU juice. The outcome is obvious: this dumpster fire just does not occur on X11, though I may be mistaken about the specifics.

What's the worst part? The horde of fanboys that emerge from the woodwork is the worst part. Every. Just once. They begin yelling that the DE is to blame! Your distribution is to blame! Your hardware is to blame! It's a skill problem! Everyone is to blame, but it's their flawless little toy project. Everything is so... boring.

The same thing on any DE, but slightly tweaked it to make it better on Hyprland...

I will always use X11/Xorg forever!

Can newer macbooks like m4 chips run Linux successfully? I'd like to get a mac purely for build quality and battery life for gaming and dev work but I cannot stand the idea of using macos. I would like to be able to use bazzite or something similar, anyone have any experience on this?

Havent really found a straight forward answer on this. Thank you!

I've been encountering this bug on almost every game I play, where after an hour or so the game will lag uncontrollably. The only solution I've seen is to add LD_PRELOAD="" in the launch parameters, but with this you also lose Steam Input, the Overlay and Steam Recording.

There doesn't seem to be any other workarounds so I'm wondering... Is EVERYONE using this parameter, or does it not occur at all on some distros?

I'd love to move fully over to Linux but I use Steam Recording a lot and have a script that runs on my network storage every night to organize them into folders and encode them to mp4, and it'd be a shame to lose that.

The bug in question: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/11446

I want to use Linux again, but there are games are DX12 I want to play, since my RTX 3050 is kinda weak on windows ( but still playable with 60 fps), the performance hit around 15-30% will make it unplayable on linux, but can I "fix" it with lossless scaling?

Has anyone done that? I'm curious.
