Planned to release sometime this year, Stardust Demon is a retro-style metroidvania adventure game inspired by Cave Story, Zelda, and many more. Featuring cute chibi characters wrapped in some dark and spooky undertones.

How about a free (and open source) game to add to your library? Roboden is an asymmetrical indirect control real-time strategy game about robot colonies and it's now Steam Deck Verified.

Do you like classic action-adventure puzzle games like the older Zelda titles? Be sure to check out Adventure of Rikka - The Cursed Kingdom.

Releasing May 14th, Athenian Rhapsody certainly caught my attention in the GamingOnLinux inbox with a tagline of "Make friends and catch IBS".

Release highlights:

• Fixed a bug that could prevent the driver from initializing on some systems running RHEL 9.3.

That seems to be it for this month! Download here.

Capes is an XCOM-like superhero strategy game coming from Spitfire Interactive, comprised of key creatives behind the Hand of Fate franchise. It has a new trailer and a release date now!

63 Days is a new action strategy game coming from developer Destructive Creations who previously made War Mongrels and Ancestors Legacy. 63 Days is about brotherhood and the fight to regain independence against overwhelming odds in the 1944 occupied Warsaw, Poland.

I've migrated to Zorin from Windows and had all my games on a few NTFS drives. I installed steam (native) via CLI and tried running some games after re-engaging my old libraries. Literally not a single non-linux game runs. I hit play, shaders try to compile and the button turns blue indicating that the games are trying to launch, but nothing happens. The Play button returns to green. I press it and the same thing happens. I read some places that NTFS is a problem, so I tested a basic game "Tomb Raider Legend" on my primary drive formatted as ext4. Same issue.

Is there something I'm missing?

I've been trying to run games such as Kingdom Hearts 3 through bottles, but I got to the point where I need to install dependencies and I can't find anywhere a list of which are needed. At all.

It's like every single person talking about Bottles online assumes everyone else already knows every single dependencies every single program needs.

So... how do you find out which dependencies you need? Where do you have to look?

Now that explicit sync is setup in Wayland, how long should I expect to wait for the new drivers to come in

IIRC there were a few games that had optional anti-cheat, which would separate gamers into two lobbies: Those with anti-cheat, and those without.

Personally I think this is a good solution: If gamers don't mind installing kernel-level drivers to have a pleasant gaming experience, then they're satisfied. If gamers would rather not use anti-cheat (at the obvious cost of cheaters), they're also satisfied.

What would be the downfalls of this approach? The biggest one that comes to mind is segregating the userbase, leading to less concurrent online users available to lobbies.

hi guys, i'm making a build for my kids to play current config is:

• ryzen 5 5600x
• rx 6600
• 16gb ram
• main ssd 250
• secondary hdd 2tb

i already plan to mount the home directory on the secondary hdd and setting things so steam launches on big picture mode at boot, they will only be playing steam games, emulators and epic games store games (stuff like fallguys) for now so my main focus is boot time and ease to configure wine, i was looking at chimeraOS and dealing with the rest of stuff after installation, i was wondering if anyone had any advice

cant really find this. do all vive headsets support linux, is it the original vive and vive pro only? i have a rift that im looking to replace what should i replace it with. the cheapest one seems to be a cosmos, but does that have native support? also does the comos support addition vive lighthouses? sorry i jsut find a bunch of old and conflicting information. i guest i could just get a quest but ive tried it and it looks worse than native video headsets

Every now and then I will use my LG C2 TV to game and disable the other monitors in display settings. I will boot up Steam big picture mode and play a game with a controller. Regardless of the game the TV will flicker like crazy and it is essentially unplayable. This issue is absent on Windows 11.

I have Nvidia G Sync/VRR enabled on the TV settings as well as the nvidia x server OpenGL settings and I am on an RTX 4090 system with 545 drivers.

I tried the latest 6.5 kernel as well as the one I currently rolled back to (5.15.0-102) and the issues persist. Is there any way to solve this?

I'm running EndeavorOS (Arch based) on a 2011 Macbook Pro with a Sandy Bridge I5 and no dedicated GPU.

Performance is god awful. I know it's not a modern device but I've maxed it out, SSD swap, RAM upgrade, replaced most components with another near identical model that was in better shape internally.

I did have it in pieces for over two years so I didn't use it during that time but I clearly remember this computer holding its own, mainly minecraft was minimally smooth and stable and browsing the web was just fine, and now it seems like aside from an improved boot time it's worse performance wise.

Heck, I even ran the first version of minecraft I had on it (1.5 in 2011 or 2012) to see if it was just the hardware not catching up to newer code but it still ran like guano.

I switched to Linux in 2016 full time to bring new life into an aging device and it did so extremely well as performance was better than on Mac OS X until mothballing the device in 2021 for restoration.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SihpljERpf8 - This is on a same year, near identical cpu, Macbook Air with soldered 4GB of RAM (I have 16) and it runs circles around mine.

I even disabled mitigations on the kernel to see if it helped.

Do you have a linux computer and play helldivers 2 on it? If so, how well does it run and what are your basic specs? Like GPU; RTX 3050 ti or whatever and ram 16 GB ect.

​

Considering buying it, I am presently running LMDE 6 on a HP windows gaming laptop, running NVIDIA RTX 3050 and 16 GB of ram. it can run no mans sky well, and halo, and deep rock galatic.
