I have been gaming on ChimeraOS for 6 months. I have tried every single variation of gaming distros. This is the best one for me. I love the console experience, no keyboard or mouse necessary.

I plan on giving my Chimeraos setup, complete with tons of games, roms, and music to a family member. Hopefully this becomes the future for gaming. Valve has done wonders for the gaming community.

What do you guys use? Do you dual boot windows or are you fully locked in with Linux?

This is the initial release of the port and I got some testing done by some discord users and everything is working as intended at least in the limited testing.

You do not need to run it through MO2. You run the .sh files and configure your modlist folder from a new tab in the settings.

The main reason I did this was because users with Nvidia had to load to an X11 session for the preview window to even work... I don't even have an Nvidia GPU but there are reports that it works in Wayland with this though.

It's also fully threaded now as well. In my testing on the modlist tuxborn which has 3800 outfits I was able to build all of them in about 35-40 seconds each time.

There is a 0.0.1 release ready to be tested and used. I'm looking to possibly port over EasyNPC as well next to linux and possibly a few more modding tools, if you have any suggestions let me know. I'll see whats possible, as of right now anything related to XEdit is off the table.

I should note, bodyslide is a modding tool for Bethesda games, used for outfit creation.

Hey guys, i started recently to use Mint 22 (my first experience with linux) and i have some problems

Basically, when i try to run my games through steam or heroic games launcher, they appear as "running" for 2-3 seconds and just stop.

The only game that runs (after half minute without opening) is stardew valley.

I already tried proton 9, 8, experimental and GE, i also updated my drivers in the log (i use intel graphics inside).

What can i do?

Hey,

I recently tried RaveOS – a Hungarian-made Arch-based gaming distro. I was looking for something that is rolling, has good gaming defaults, and is easy to set up. Installed the GNOME version first (that's what the dev pushes the most), then switched to Plasma because GNOME felt too touch-oriented and heavy on CPU for desktop use.

Quick summary after using it:

What I liked:

• Very beginner-friendly install (Calamares + auto NVIDIA driver detection)
• Gaming stuff is strong out of the box: Steam, Proton GE auto setup, Mangohud/Goverlay presets, low idle RAM (~1.4 GB reported by dev)
• Own repo + Chaotic-AUR gives good package access
• Dev is active on Discord and answers questions

What I didn't like:

• Kernel switching (e.g. to linux-zen) is complicated with systemd-boot – emergency shell after install, no automatic entry creation (dev basically said "new users don't need to switch kernels anyway")
• KDE/Plasma support is minimal. Dev said "KDE is a nightmare to work with" and prefers GNOME/Hyprland. Plasma gets a bare-bones install.
• Overall feel: very opinionated distro. Dev decides what's "best" (Cachy kernel default, GNOME preferred), which can feel restrictive for experienced users who want full control.

It's clearly made for new Linux gamers who want plug-and-play, not for people who want to tinker. I ended up with Plasma + some tweaks and it's stable now (idle CPU ~20% vs GNOME's 60-70% on same workload).

Has anyone else tried RaveOS?
How does it compare to Nobara, Bazzite, CachyOS or Garuda for gaming?
Is the custom repo worth it, or better to go vanilla Arch + gaming packages?

Thanks for reading!

This is a burner account, I don’t even know if this will post but I’ll try anyway. Basically I installed Linux mint a few months ago for a few reasons but I’ve been waiting for requiem to come out. Just bought the game on steam and it runs terrible. My PC is fine, I’ve spent the last four hours trying to get windows back on my damn computer and I’m so tired I can’t even get into it at the moment 😭 if anyone knows how to help so it runs normally on Linux it’d be massively appreciated, thank you 🙏

Hello all,

i've just sswitched to linux as main gaming OS (EndeavourOS) and i can't get this one to run. I tried various things i found with launch parameters, various proton versions but nothing works. Launcher shows, i click Play, then i get loading screen with Loading bar at the bottom but and then the game crashes. After so many attempts it ends with launcher just popping up and immediately closing and the game won't start anymore at all.

I tried

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/06/starship-troopers-terran-command-on-steam-deck-and-linux-m-a-quick-guide/
things i found on protondb website.

I can't find any more guide or tips for this one.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do I need to set a launch option or something? I can always manually install reshade and I am sure it would work fine but I have a compulsion to do otherwise. Any ideas?

Has anybody the problem, that the whole game crashes when you try to interact with the Square Socket in the basement? When I press F my inventory opens as usual, then the game freezes and crashes to desktop. I already read that the launch command /WineDetectionEnabled:False causes the error, but without it the game doesnt show any Raytracing options on Linux.

Everything else runs flawless, I'm using Proton Hotfix. A crash report is not created as mentioned in the official Steam Troubleshoot Thread.

My PC Specs are:

OS: Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS

KERNEL: 6.18.7-76061807-generic

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 12GB VRAM

DRIVER: NVIDIA 580.119.02

RAM: 16 GB

I've been dealing with random game crashes recently and I've been absolutely tearing my hair out trying to debug it. Eventually I found out the games were crashing due to a pipwire overrun (sometimes called xruns). These are notoriously difficult to debug, so I was watching for errors in pw-top and noticed they were all coming from my USB microphone. I recently plugged it into the USB hub in my monitor to clean up the cables on my desk. Since Linux USB audio can be sensitive, I tried directly plugging my microphone into my computer and just like that all my crashes vanished. I thought I'd post this here in case it helps someone since logs won't make this obvious.

I've released a new version of Meganimus; it's a very simple launcher, just for organization, centralizing native and emulator games.

Now I'm testing the idea of ​​portable home folders, so that both the AppImage emulators and their files are inside the Meganimus folder, making backups easier.

I've added an option to transfer the AppImages, to facilitate access and send them directly to the folder where the portable home folders will be located.

Meganimus is currently only available as an AppImage, but this is the first time I've managed to create a seemingly functional AppImage, so I need people to test it.

This is the link to the most recent tag: https://github.com/Kyuyrii/Meganimus/releases/tag/1.6.5

So long story short I had Linux Mint but I need Windows to use the Xbox app to play Minecraft with friends so I installed Windows again, but I still need Linux to play my Steam games. I have a Mini Beelink PC with an AMD Reyzen 7-H and it has 500GB NVMe (Windows) and a 1TB Western Digital SSD (where I plan to put Linux) and Vega 8 Graphic cards, and I’d like a distro that optimizes my specs for full potential performance.

Wishlist on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4281370/A_Thousand_Bees/

It's the first game of my solo studio, after I made the jump from artist to game dev. I'd be lost without my fantastic composer, and together we made the most relaxing summer day you can imagine.
