Hi,

I suddenly started to get screen flickering on CachyOS. So I checked if this also would happen on Windows, I have dual boot enabled. In Windows I don’t have the same flickering issues. So I tried to reinstall CachyOS and added the gaming package. This did not seem to fix the issue. So I tried installing a different distro. This time I tried Fedora and installed the akmod nvidia drivers. But still no fix. I also disabled GSP firmware, but still, no fix. So now I’m a bit lost and I was hoping the great people of this subreddit could help me :).

Thanks 🙏

Heyhey! Our little clicker game will release on Linux on the 11th of January.
With proton being around this probably isn't the biggest news anymore and natively targeting linux platforms isn't the hardest thing in today's age of game engines either. Still, I've switched all my home devices to Fedora and Ubuntu a year ago - and I am incredibly happy 'bout it, so supporting Linux is a personal wish of mine.

We are two dudes from Germany that just started making games together. We came up with the simple idea of creating a game around flipping a coin - and it was super cool journey so far.

It's called "Gamblers Table" and you can already play the demo on Steam - or even on the Web via itch.io if you'd rather not download anything (but of course desktop performance is way better)

If you encounter any issues with running it on Linux then please let me know.
Cheers!

This is the sale event you've been waiting on isn't it? The Steam Winter Sale 2025 has arrived with a great many thousands of games discounted.

I am seriously considering switching to Linux and wanted some honest input from people who actually game on it long term.

My primary use case is gaming, along with daily browsing, yt, and watching movies, anime, and sports. All of that works fine on both Windows and Linux, so my real concern is gaming performance and experience. My system is fairly high end: Ryzen 9800X3D, RTX 4080 Super, and 32 GB of RAM. I understand that Linux is generally lighter and smoother due to the lack of bloatware and background services compared to Windows, which in theory should help performance. However, I also know NVIDIA driver support on Linux is not always ideal, and that worries me.

I have been looking at gaming focused distros like Bazzite, CachyOS, and Pop OS, which seem to make driver updates easier, but I also hear they can lag slightly behind the latest NVIDIA driver releases. On top of that, I know some games still do not work as well on Linux due to compatibility or anti cheat issues.From benchmarks and videos I have seen, Proton seems amazing, but there are cases where games take around a 15 to 20 percent performance hit, especially on NVIDIA GPUs. And also Nvidia not being very good with dx12 and stuff like that. I also play a lot of modded games, so I want to know how realistic modding is on Linux compared to Windows. Is it mostly painless, or does it become a constant workaround situation?

My main question is this: on a high end PC , would I actually notice the performance difference if I moved from Windows to Linux? And is the smoother, cleaner Linux experience worth the extra effort of dealing with compatibility issues, driver quirks, and modding challenges? I am not opposed to learning or tweaking, but I do not want gaming to turn into constant troubleshooting. I would really appreciate hearing from people who have tried both, especially those using NVIDIA GPUs.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all.

I am currently running Fedora 43.

I have steam etc installed and I’d like to relive my misspent youth and take a bash at Fallout New Vegas again.

I’d like to install some QoL patches etc but not sure how best to go about this on Linux.

Are there any useful guides out there that cover how this would work?

I'm a tiny streamer and have made a few different tools for myself to make my life easier. I then found out about streamer.bot which did most of what I wanted, and even a lot more, but it's windows only, and I tried for the life of me to get it working in wine / lutris, but it couldn't get it stable. I started by trying to reverse engineer streamer.bot and ported it to Avalonia UI, but it just wasn't working well for me. I'm a C++ dev not a C# one and I couldn't stand certain things like the 45 second loading time. So fresh start with C++ and QT6. I've also drastically changed architectures so as many things as possible are plugins like platforms and integrations. I'm probably 3-4 weeks away from release and I'm just wondering what are the most important features the community would be looking for. I also plan to port more of the features over from my previous web app version like analytics, channel discovery stats, revenue tracking, viewer loyalty tracking in the apps database etc. I want to add python, Lua, JS/TS, and Webassembly integrations so people can make their bots how they want. Also I'm not sure if / how to monetize this or if I should just leave it as donor supported because right now I'm unemployed.

The saga continues! A Firefox developer has taken to social media to note there will be some sort of "kill switch" to completely remove AI features.

They did a Vampire Survivors update, so sure why not Revenge of the Savage Planet too? Two Point Museum has expanded again in a free update.
