Congratulations to everyone.

It took us 5 years to get there, let's celebrate that we have finally come to the point where we can safely start dreaming about the proper HDR support in Wayland.

Hey there!

I'm a Linux gamedev and I wanted to share some thoughts about Linux market share based on my games' real data.

The common belief is that Linux represents only 1-2% of Steam's market share. Thing is, based on my experience, this low market share might just be because game developers don't really reach out to Linux users.

How I make games

I make all my games on Linux first, using FOSS tools - Debian, Godot Engine, Inkscape, Blender and Audacity. Windows support comes after. With Godot Engine, porting from Linux to Windows is pretty easy once you get used to it. So basically, I'm already paying for Linux development while making the game anyway.

Here's what my games data shows

I've got two games out and one coming soon on Steam. Check out how different their Linux numbers are:

Sneak In: - About 1,000 total wishlists - 10.5% Linux market share (actual sales) - 11.2% Linux wishlists
- Been super active in Linux communities - Best post hit 844 upvotes with 89k views on r/linux_gaming - Got other big hits too (410 upvotes/47k views, 180 upvotes/57k views) - Always talked about using FOSS tools and Linux development

City Game Studio: - Around 47,500 total wishlists (way bigger!) - Only 1.4% Linux market share (sales) - 2.2% Linux wishlists - Mostly posted on general gaming subs - Best Linux post only got 153 upvotes/20k views - Mainly pushed it on r/GameDeals and r/steamdeals

My new game Fortune Avenue is somewhere in between with 1650 wishlists and 6.9% Linux wishlists.

What's this mean?

Look at that difference - 10.5% vs 1.4% Linux share. Seems like talking to Linux folks really works... but here's the thing - City Game Studio has almost 50x more wishlists! So yeah, focusing on Linux got Sneak In better Linux numbers, but going broad got City Game Studio way more players overall.

Yeah but...

I know what you're thinking - "why even bother with Linux?" Even when I went all-in on Linux, it's still not the majority of sales. City Game Studio shows that casting a wide net gets more players, even with lower Linux numbers.

Going forward

But check this out: 1. Using Godot means Linux support just happens 2. Talking to Linux users actually affects your platform share 3. Your game's size probably should affect your strategy 4. Linux numbers only stay small if devs ignore Linux

My take

It's not just about Linux numbers - it's about how different marketing hits different platforms. Sneak In shows you can get way more Linux players by talking to them, while City Game Studio proves wider marketing gets more players overall.

Small community games? Maybe go hard on Linux. Bigger stuff? Probably spread out more.

What do you think? Any other devs want to share their numbers and what worked for them?

Hi. I have a lenovo Ideapad l3 and I have installed fedora after a long time (2-3 years) of using windows (I used ubuntu before that). I have a problem with satisfactory running on proton from steam. It opens normally, i choose my save and click continue, it goes to loading screen and after a 10-20 seconds, laptop suddenly turns off without any prompt or anything. Just a black screen and power led goes off. It's connected to AC power and everything else runs normally (I haven't tested other games, but native apps are good).

Do you think It has someyhing to do with fedora? Would using bazzite (dual booting it with fedora) help?

I'm not able to launch overwatch 2 and battle net just crashed completely. I have a nvidia graphics card.

I tried many versions of Proton GE with no progress at all. I tuned of fsync and esync also.

Nice to see dedicated support like this from a massive game. Marvel Rivals had a small update that came with a fix for Bazzite Linux.

Has anyone tried the Bose Quietcomfort and/or Sony wh-1000xm5 on Linux?

I tried a friend's Sennheiser Momentum 4 on my Linux laptop and it worked well. But I also tried Airpods and found that if you use high quality audio, the mic stop working, so you can use it either as a low quality headset, or high quality listening only.

I prefer the sound of the Bose and Sony, but I've never heard them connected to Linux before and don't want to risk buying them only to find they have shitty sound.

Just tried to download Skyrim (the legendary edition) only to be greeted by: only can be installed on windows...

it ONLY happens with this game...(I looked at every game in my library(>~100)), even the special edition works just fine...

I did install Skyrim before, but I deleted it maybe half a year ago...

Anyone who knows what is going on?

RTX3060 mobile GPU
Samsung Odyssey G60SD 1440p 360Hz OLED with HDR

endeavourOS (latest)
KDE Wayland (latest)
Nvidia proprietary drivers (latest)

HDR works on Desktop in KDE

Heroic Game launcher
Proton-GE-9-25

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Game runs smooth with DLSS on Performance. Avg FPS 53
HDR option greyed out

Added Environment

DXVK_HDR=1

makes the option available. Activating it leads to washed out colors/grey fog.
Monitor settings: switching HDR Tone mapping between "Static" or "Dynamic" changes nothing

Activating gamescope in heroic:

Enable Upscaling set

NVIDIA Image Scale

1440p to 1440p
-or
1080p to 1440p

additional options:

--hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output

HDR works, but performance hit is unbearable. Avg FPS 34 and added ghosting.

I am totally new to gamescope because I never saw a usecase for me.

So HDR currently only works through gamescope is that right? no way to activate it correctly in VK3D?

I think using DLSS and activating gamescope creates unnecessary overhead leading to performance loss,
Can I render through gamescope in order to have HDR without any actual upscaling and therefore no performance loss?

This issue keeps coming back no matter if I use Steam or Lutris for gaming.

There's been quite some history on this and I don't remember everything exactly anymore.

I've bought a new PC some years ago:

• ASRock fatal1ty x470 Mainboard
• 650W PSU
• NVIDIA RTX 2070 GPU
• 2x16 GB RAM (G.Skill AEGIS 2400MT/s)
• Ryzen 9 5900X CPU

Pop!_OS has been installed on my devices for years now so I decided to go for it as well on that machine.

At some point I inserted another 2x16GB RAM (Corsair DDR4 Pro 3200MT/s) with the frequency still set to Auto in the BIOS (I think it got throttled to 2133MT/s due to MB or CPU restrictions).

Everything worked fine and I was able to play quite well on this machine, however I started experiencing quite some frame drops so I decided to buy a better graphics card (AMD RX 7700 XT) which was probably about when my PC started randomly restarting when playing high-end games. They seem to come up quite randomly in time, sometimes after 30mins, however sometimes already after 5mins.

First, I suspected the GPU so at some point I decided to go for a different one (RX 7900 XT), however changing the GPU didn't help.

Next, I thought the restarts might be caused by my PSU not supplying enough power, so I decided to buy a 1000W PSU.

After that didn't help either, I first tried taking out the AEGIS RAM and afterwards the Corsair RAM modules to see if it might be a RAM issue, with no success.

Needless to say, multiple complete reinstallations were made on the PC.

I'm running Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS with current Mesa drivers.

I'm out of ideas on what to check for. As far as I remember, if the restarts were caused by high temperatures, I would have gotten a message in the BIOS saying that the PC overheated and needed to be restarted, or could I be wrong here?

I really want to get to the cause of this issue since it's really annoying and stops me from enjoying a lot of games, would it be Hogwarts Legacy, Indiana Jones or Spider-Man Remastered etc.

I would really appreciate any help provided by the community helping to investigate the reason for those constant restarts thoroughly.

Could it be a Motherboard or maybe even a software/driver problem, or is it really a temperature thing? If so, how can I find out about that?

Running through all dmesg outputs would take so much time and I wouldn't even know where exactly to look at.

Haven't tested it on Windows yet for obvious reasons, I don't want any Microsoft stuff on my PC.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Whenever I try to log into EGS using the other sign in options, it opens the “complete login in browser” thing, but doesn’t open the browser. Even when I have my browser open, it won’t open the tab. Plus, if I try to log in to Epic Games inside Lutris, it will show my games completely fine, but it will not actually let me play them.

And no, I don’t remember the password to my Epic Games account, nor do I have access to the email associated with it. Yes, I have also started a recovery request to recover my account.

I’d be happy to provide videos and/or photos if needed

I heard the maker of DLSS Swapper is developing for Linux, but I don’t know if there are any other methods.
