Medieval Dynasty runs poorly on my converted Windows machine

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Aug 2025 - 1:59pm

Using the following:
Linux Mint Cinnamon

PC has... a CPU and 22 GB RAM (weird but it works, more on that later)

Now so help me if I get blowback for using Nvidia. I like Nvidia and I used them extensively before Windows decided to abandon my computer. It's tragic they will not work with Linux developers to optimise their hardware or its drivers. Rant over.

installed Nvidia's driver 575 per the recommendations on the driver manager
Computer has a GTX 750 Ti.

On Windows 10, this setup easily could run Medieval Dynasty in 1360x768 in high settings. It looked GREAT. I loved it. No lag. Computer was a little toasty, but it was great.

Now I'm lucky to be able to run it decently on LOW at 1024x768.

I had to downgrade Proton to 4.11-13 because, for some reason Medieval Dynasty... has some compatibility issues? I can dredge up an old Steam post that I got the idea from; apparently this version of Proton was the last to emulate Windows 7 or something? How can I get the latest version of Proton to "emulate Windows 7" or whatever makes it work?

Help me out here. How can I make use of all that processing power that I once had? Do I have the wrong drivers in it? How can I modify Proton/Protontricks to be compatible AND optimised for my setup?

Thanks!

Magic Online (MTGO) on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Aug 2025 - 1:09pm

TL;DR: Is there a way to run Magic Online on Linux?

I’ve been playing Magic since 2012. Due to time constraints, it’s been hard to play at my LGS, so I’ve been using MTGO instead. Recently, I switched to Linux (specifically Pop!_OS) and was wondering if there’s a way to run MTGO on it.

I thought about using Steam’s compatibility layer, adding the .exe as a non-Steam game and enabling Proton in the Steam properties. However, I’m not sure if this will work or if it might cause issues that could lead to a ban.

Has anyone successfully gotten MTGO running on Linux?

Keyboard "doesn't work" in Escape Goat1,2

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Aug 2025 - 12:15pm

Hey, I have the same problem with the native Linux version of Escape Goat and Escape Goat 2. When I run the game, I get a nag screen about an Xbox controller being recommended and that I should press Start. I press Enter and it lets me through to the main menu, so clearly keyboard is detected.**However**, I can't move the cursor with keyboard to select another menu item, or even press Enter to start the game! I don't know how to fix this. I tried looking for odd messages in the text console where I type the command to run the game, but there's nothing keyboard-related.

I know I could work around this by downloading a Windows installer and then playing the game through wine, but now after finishing everything in Escape Goat except for Heart of Insanity, I'm annoyed. There should be a way to fix this.

I'm currently on Debian 11. I'm running the game from GOG (I don't use any Galaxy middleware etc.)

Is there a spiritual successor for Intel's Clear Linux OS?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15 Aug 2025 - 11:24am

Now that Intel stopped Clear Linux OS, is there a spiritual successor to it?

What I'm basically looking for is a Linux OS that works as good as Clear Linux OS did with Intels hardware, especially Intel CPU + Intel GPU (ARC)
