So... how do I play dosbox games that rely on 3dfx voodoo cards?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27 Nov 2025 - 6:25pm

I recently came to enjoy playing dosbox games, but some of the later ones rely on the Glide API. And the only hint at a Linux implementation is the rumored Grover which doesn't seen to exist.

What is your setup for this? Dosbox + Wine + nGlide? How do I set it all up? It's honestly ridiculous.

Brazzite or CachyOS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27 Nov 2025 - 5:43pm

I finally got too fed up with Windows and its antics. So I've recently installed Brazzite and it works pretty well but I feel that it's kinda restrictive when compared to other distros. I'm thinking of switching to CachyOS but I want to know about the performance differences and if its as locked down as Brazzite.

If I play a game with BattlEye (kernel level anticheat), will it be forever installed on my system?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27 Nov 2025 - 5:29pm

I've been dual booting for decades, but have finally made the switch to Linux for gaming.

I was pleasantly surprised Dune Awakening works on Linux, but it uses BattlEye.

If I install it on CachyOS, will I forever have kernel level spyware, or will BattlEye only run while playing Dune?

Fallout 3 GOTY from Steam fails to install on Steam Deck but installs fine on Arch laptop

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27 Nov 2025 - 5:10pm

Picked up Fallout 3 GOTY to replace my old DVD and have cloud sync of saves.

On my laptop, like it has for a decade on linux, the game just worked pretty much off the bat. Sure I know to add the large address aware flag when I actually play it, but I clicked install, and it just worked. Using Proton Experimental.

On the SteamDeck, when I do the same thing I get an error about Turning the Windows Feature on for .NET 3.0, and then the install script fails out and it gives me the original DVD autoplay which when you click install complains it can't find the DVD.

I've tried multiple different proton versions, I've tried using protontricks to install .NET3 which won't work in a 64-bit prefix, I've tried running the .NET 3.0 installer manually which fails with the same error, I've tried switching it to WinXP which lets the .NET installer run but seems to never finish.

What on earth is the difference between my SteamDeck and my laptop running Arch?

[Bazzite] Dying Light The Beast, hud zoomed in

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27 Nov 2025 - 4:54pm

I've tried to re-calibrate the safe zone, but didn't work as intended. I think the game is thinking that I'm playing on a Steam Deck rather than a desktop, that's why the hud is all maximized.

I've tried looking into ProtonDB too, but no success. Some commands didn't even let my game start.

Any help or tip will be much, much appreciated.

Retro Gaming Setup with Server

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27 Nov 2025 - 3:17pm

I have a PC, which I want to use as a Homeserver running Debian and Webmin. But I also want to use the same Pc with Retro Arch or Steam connected to a PC. How do I set that up the best way cause the server would also run while not needing to output to the tv, so it wouldn’t need to start a gui and I also at best want to control the gui just with a controller or webmin(-Terminal). Is Debisn even the best Distro for what I'm trying to achieve and should I maybe dual boot two distros?
