Considering doing a full switch from Windows 11 to Linux after all the stuff going on with Windows sucking so much.

What's the actual reality of gaming on Linux, both through launchers like Steam and emulators. Is there going to be a performance difference in any way or will it mostly just be the same?

Is there currently any way to play games like fortnite that don't work on Linux on Linux somehow like on a Windows VM?

I've heard this controller works out of the box but I can only get it to work if I set it to Android mode. If I set it to Xbox/PC mode Linux recognises that an Xbox controller is connected by USB but nothing happens when I try to use it. What's going on?

The latest monthly Humble Choice bundle is up and it looks like another great package of games for you to get cheap.

I've been using BTRFS for years before I completely switched over to Linux from windows as there was a BTRFS driver for windows. I've been windows free for about 3 years now and finally have the download speed to really fill my HDD. What's the best configuration for speed and maximum storage? I've read forced compression is a no-go but I want to hear everyone's opinion.

I have a steam deck and while this sounds silly I am trying to mod among us. The issue is I can't find linux mod files only windows. I am trying to avoid spending $100 to install a new 1tb ssd and doing a fresh windows install. While it would be really cool to do I would like to tackle that at a later date when i want to take on the task of doing sims 4 with all the cc and mods. Is there an actual way to acheieve this or am i asking for something the steam deck cant do?

Like the title says, Hades II (Platinum on ProtonDB) is giving me this error in the logs when I try running it before crashing instantly on launch.

X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 149 () Minor opcode of failed request: 4 Serial number of failed request: 639 Current serial number in output stream: 642

I've tried every version of Proton, including bleeding edge. I don't know how to read/diagnose X errors. What else can I do?

Thank you!

(ps. sorry about the preview image I don't believe there's a way to remove it)

Valve have released the latest stable update to the Steam Client today for PC and Steam Deck, which fixes a whole lot of issues.

I'm having this annoyance with Wayland where if I run a game inside one workspace and then I switch to another one, even though I can still hear the game audio for most games, it gets put into this weird suspended-mode where most loading and gameplay seems to freeze while the game is still running.

This is incredibly annoying at games such as Baldur's Gate 3 where if I move my character somewhere and switch workspaces (which puts the game in this weird suspension), upon me returning my companions who always follow me seem to arrive at the destination while my main character is still at the start, and only moves while the game is in focus. That, and the game just doesn't load while I'm in a different workspace if I'm in a loading screen.

This does happen with other games as well, and I've tried utilities such as gamescope or virtual desktop through bottles, but it doesn't help. On Xorg (tested with i3 and awesomewm), the game does run normally when I'm in a different workspace so I do believe this is an issue with Wayland.

I've tested this with both Sway and Hyprland and both wm's have the same behavior, and my distro is Arch.

Any ideas?

Planetiles is an absolute puzzle gem from developer MythicOwl (Hexologic, Harmony's Odyssey) that gives you a wonderful blending of gameplay ideas from Tetris and Dorfromantik but on a mini-planetary scale.

Was running the latest version of Bazzite over hdmi to LGC1 and all was working correctly within game scope with both 4K120 and HDR. Now, game scope won’t detect my monitor is HDR capable and frequently flashes green at the top. When I switch to desktop mode, no issues with either HDR or the higher refresh rate options.

Hitting Early Access today is Nerobi, a gorgeous looking platforming adventure that blends in what the developer says are "several elements typical of a graphic adventure".

Well, this sure is a terrible time for the gaming industry isn't it. Now it's Microsoft turn again to close multiple studios.

I haven't played this for a while, but I remember it making my skin crawl. Damn bugs everywhere. Empires of the Undergrowth is a pretty great RTS that puts you in charge of an Ant colony.

Back in late April, Lunar Lander Beyond was released by Dreams Uncorporated and Atari, as another classic remake built for new audiences.
