What games are you playing on your Linux machine?

>>715824521 (OP)
Everything.

Morrowind (native)
CP77 (Proton)
nethack (lol)

about to start Gothic II
been playing a bunch of disappointing shit lately, so I hope this turns things around

>>715824940
How's Gothic 1?

Counter strike 2

DwarfFort or Age of wonders4. Havent had time to game much the last few months.

>>715824521 (OP)
i finished Kaizen yesterday, and right now i'm waiting for a pirated version of He is Coming

>>715824521 (OP)
i kinda want to switch to linux, but i still want to dual boot w10 ltsc just for the anti cheat games like siege (nuking my nvme entirely and just install two fresh OSs). but my only issue is that im using a pascal gpu and its already been basically phased out, and many distros have began excluding anything below the 2000 series unless you force the old supported drivers for said legacy gpu. also i have no clue how NTFS acts with linux these days since i dont want to nuke my 2tb anime image collection since i know linux used to really hate NTFS and could corrupt it by accessing it and then you would need to use windows to fix the partition for said drive. i mostly play and emulate old games and play alot of gold/source and id tech games, but i still play modern-ish titles like siege with friends or VT2/POE2. its not like i dont have experience on using linux since every other device i have around the house uses some kind of linux distro, its just that i dont want to deal with headache with transitioning and formatting and have to deal with nvidia's shit drivers.

>>715824752
>CP77 (Proton)
i've been meaning to play this, simply because my computer could handle it. Is it actually good now after all the fixes? i'll probably play it on windows though for HDR

>>715826526
>but i still want to dual boot w10 ltsc just for the anti cheat games
when i installed fedora it automatically gave me a boot loader so i just choose what OS i want every time i boot my pc.
>have no clue how NTFS acts with linux
it's gonna work out of the box. the only problem i had was Steam didnt like running games on it, so i had to change some flags when mounting the drive. i'm able to run preinstalled games using lutris/wine from ntfs though.

>>715826526
>i know linux used to really hate NTFS and could corrupt it by accessing it and then you would need to use windows to fix the partition for said drive.
This happened to me when I started writing to the drive. Just reading from it seems to be fine so far though.

>have no clue how NTFS acts with linux these days
Well, Linux can read NTFS drives. But I wouldn't rely on it to write to them. It's the writing to NTFS that Linux struggles with.

>>715832662
I'm pretty sure it works as of the recent version of KDE Plasma. At least it started working on my monitor. Although I honestly just turned it off since it's an OLED screen and I want to avoid burn-in (having HDR enabled seems to make pixels brighter).

>>715833059
>VRR
I believe it also works on KDE Plasma and it's experimental in GNOME, but iirc you need to use DisplayPort or USB C instead of HDMI. Which you'd probably want to do anyways if you're on an AMD GPU considering the HDMI Forum is filled with corpo degenerates who blocked AMD from implementing a Linux HDMI 2.1 driver.

>>715833549

There's also a hardware agnostic shadow play app

>>715833759
Isn't this built in to Steam nowadays as well? I disabled it because it was causing Steam to crashloop while I was in game but maybe things have improved since then.

>>715833238
It only works on deck because you're logged into a Steam big picture session directly composititing to the display. Valve set it up for you.
On desktop, it's not that simple. You can enable HDR in KDE / GNOME but unlike windows, this isn't enough for games to use HDR. You have to use gamescope as your compositor which comes with a whole host of other limitations and issues.
My point is that there is a world of difference between the steam deck experience and desktop linux experience.

>>715834105
K, then get a deck if it's too hard for you.

>>715834105
Ahem

>>715824521 (OP)
>What games are you playing on your Linux machine?
Old games and a few not-so-old indie games.
I haven't finished most of these because it's hard to stick to one game for long when there's so much to play. I got hundreds of games from bundles back when Humble wasn't shit, and the proportion of my Steam library that I can't play on Linux is really insignificant. (Not all of these are from Steam by the way.)
>Painkiller
Played it before, just finished a replay of the base game.
>X-Blades
Maybe half-way through.
>Bully
Barely started.
>Dishonored
Still need to finish the DLC.
>Just Cause
Not finished but it's a sandbox game so whatever.
>Donut Dodo
100%'d this bitch because I'm a real gamer.
>Broken Sword
Not finished because I got distracted by Donut Dodo.
>Oxenfree
Finished it. Pretty tedious/boring on replay even though you do get more of an appreciation for the dialogue system by doing things differently.
>Bit.Trip Runner
Only played a few levels. Not the best game. Frankly I'm more amused by the fact that the 13-year-old native Linux build from Humble Indie Bundle still just works (and meanwhile the Windows version on Steam requires a bit of tinkering to work with Proton, so people who say "just run the Windows version of everything" can suck my ass forever even if this game is an anomaly).
>The Room Three
Cool game. Haven't finished it, but I will. These games are short.
>Alan Wake
Beat it before. Almost done with current replay which has been dragging out for months because it's just something I play occasionally when I get the itch for some Energizer-sponsored horror kino.
>Kathy Rain
Finished it. Not bad. Super easy (except for maybe one or two puzzles), but if the alternative is the moon logic of actual '90s adventure games, that's not entirely a bad thing.
>Cash Cow
Got as far as the last stage.
>They Bleed Pixels
Still need to get good.
>Dimension of the Machine
Played it in Quakespasm and finished it. Pretty good for a mission pack.

It's still broken on Steam

>>715834234
Where exactly did I say it was difficult retard-kun who needed me to explain everything to him and thinks because he owns a deck that makes him a linux gamer?
>>715834340
That solution has even more problems and is more convoluted to set up.

>>715830084
how much fps do you get on ryujinx when emulating on the steam deck? I get 30, but the input delay is so high i refuse to touch this shit. it is somewhat playable, just press w and in 20 minutes you will see the hero move.... its just that i have gotten used to like a 0.0000001 secs input delay, not 2000000 minutes

Any anons here have experience with steam os outside of the Deck? How is it?

switched to nobara with plasma a couple of weeks ago and tried elden ring with "proton hotfix" on steam but the screen flickered so i uninstalled it, then TBoI with "Steam Linux Runtime" which seems to be the default as of one week apparently and couldn't use my controller, now i'm trying other games with Proton 9 and they seem to be stable, will probably try with more demanding games later but so far they work as well or better than on windows, thought they would run slower, maybe its an amd thing

>>715825315
got it running with Spine finally after owning it for like a decade without success of ever starting it. I enjoyed it enough to do a couple playthroughs.

dota, fallout 1 in 4k because why not

>>715836692
Nah, proton is distributed the same everywhere
SteamOS shtick is being tailored for Deck's (And a couple other third party handlelds) hardware

>>715836074
(You)

>>715836692
Bazzite is just the better version of SteamOS.
But there are a handful of games which have anti-cheat which only whitelists SteamOS for online play. That's probably the only difference between SteamOS and other gaming distributions when it comes to compatibility.

>>715836692
Valve has made it (not) clear (enough) that steamOS is more intended for preconfigured systems and handhelds, and not so much for desktop experiences. You CAN use steamOS on a desktop, but you get almost 0 benefit over something like endeavor. I'd say you should learn how to install and manage Arch instead of something like Endeavor though there's nothing "wrong" with using endeavor, and I'd even go as far as admitting when I break my arch install I chroot in using an endeavor liveusb because I still like GUIs

>>715836692
like >>715836870 says, proton is pretty much self-contained

>>715836692
Outside of developers trying (and failing) to support Steam Deck without supporting Linux (e.g. where issues are magically fixed by SteamDeck=1 >>>/vg/531643950), and a few other odd edge cases, compatibility should be approximately the same. (Steam on any distribution will use Proton for Windows games and Steam Linux Runtime for Linux games.)

>>715837223
>I'm a Linux noob
Welcome to the club. I'll explain this as dumbly as possible
Any mainstream distro will allow you to configure the basic desktop experience to be similar(not the same) to windows.
Mint is "fine" but I try to stay away from downstream distros.
>what's that mean
let's go full food analogy,
Mint is a burger joint, but it has to get all of its ingredients from Ubuntu and then add all their spices and sauces to make sure it works on their burger, Ubuntu ironically enough gets its ingredients from Debian, another burger shop who gets their ingredients fresh, where Ubuntu has to apply all their special spices. In the process there's a lot of grabbing and changing things that I think overcomplicates the "burger"
Arch gets all its ingredients fresh, so there's no driving up to 2 different Burger joints to get all their shot.
Endeavor is "downstream" from Arch, but it also doesn't tweak those ingredients, so if Arch is too hard to navigate, you can at least be sure that they aren't fucking with the ingredients too much.

>>715837223
>how would you say Arch compares to Mint
Arch requires you to pretty much install everything manually through the terminal on the initial setup. It's a distribution aimed at power users/experts/tinkerers. For the sake of convenience, if you opt into using Arch you should go with EndeavourOS or Manjaro instead.
Mint is more noob-friendly and easy to use. But, it's based on a "Long Term Support" version of Ubuntu, so it's packages are going to be 1-3 years out of date. A lot of desktop users don't really like this, which is why people gravitate towards Arch-based or Fedora-based distributions (like EndeavourOS, CachyOS, Bazzite, Nobara)
If you're a new user, I'd recommend trying out Bazzite first. It's probably the simplest distribution to use and get into and the most stable one when it comes to system updates.

>>715837223
nta but generally Mint is considered more friendly if you're new. like, if you use Arch and you blindly update your packages you could end up not being able to boot - happened to me - but Mint isn't so cutting edge and you'll be unlikely to have an issue like this. Mint's desktop environment is very nice and user-friendly imo and so is KDE on Arch. Personally I use CachyOS which is Arch-based with some extra handy stuff preinstalled and some gaming-focussed inclusions but i'd probably recommend Mint to someone who is new

>>715837693
>or manjaro
NOOOOOOOOOOO NO NO NO NO NO
Manjaro devs are psychos who intentionally break shit to make it "their way" as an unwanted side effects, manjaro users shit up the arch forums asking for help only to find the Arch solution isn't the same as the Manjaro solution because of Manjarodevs being psychotic, manjaro users are also too retarded to outright state they're using manjaro until they're 10 pages deep of asking varying Archusers for help. Use endeavor, be my fucking guest, but STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM MANJARO

>>715837581
fucking hell americans can't help themselves... fuck me. jesus christ.

Is there a guide for retards on running rpgmaker games on linux?

>>715837223
Mint is retard proof, i mean it in a good way.
Takes 15 minutes to install it and everything runs out of the box. It comes with GUI wrapper for apt so you really can't go wrong.
Cinnamon, their desktop environment has been developed with the idea of having the look and feel of classic desktops, think minimalist windows 7, so if you're dipping your toes for the first time into GNU+Linux it's your best starting choice. In my opinion at least.

I wouldn't recommend Arch as first distro, it's not as hard as people meme but you still have to get used to a completely new OS and adding extra things to learn makes the learning curve steeper

>>715837943
Add them to steam as a non steam game, right click it, go into compatibility and set it to the latest version of proton.

It's a dell you retard. Also, Windows and X11 let me set a custom refresh rate. But you can't on Gayland.
Just Gayland things anon.

>>715838668
I'm pretty sure X11 allows you to create whatever custom refresh rate and resolution you want. For example, you could create an 1728x972@69Hz option.

>>715839234
I did some tests on frame-capped VRR (140 fps cap at 144hz) on Quake 3, Overwatch 2, ultrakill and there's no difference between Windows and Linux.
If you want to run fully uncapped past your refresh rate then yeah stick to Windows or composit directly to your display.

What's that distro that is basically a Windows clone that is SteamOS under the hood? I'm too old to give a fuck about running command line shit, I just want to get away from Microsoft.

Bazzite-desktop is good, it uses KDE which is essentially the Windows UI (but with more customization) and uses an immutable filesystem so you can't fuck shit up easily. The only downside depends on what other applications you want to install, you might have to use the command line to layer shit that isn't in the flathub but you'll probably have to do that for any distro anyways.

If you don't want to touch the command line then you don't care what's under the hood. You will interact with the desktop environment. KDE (which comes with several distributions) and Cinnamon (which comes with Linux Mint most notably) are pretty good.

NTA but I'm not a fan of people selling the lie that you can get by with 0 terminal. Even babbyshit like PopOS will inevitably have you fucking around with terminal commands. If any terminal commands are a bridge too far I mean with love and respect that Linux probably isn't for you yet

Thank you, anon. I'm not unfamiliar with using terminal, I just don't want to use it, there's literally no point to when Windows has been doing GUI just fine for decades.

>>715842834

You still haven't explained which "under the hood" aspects of Linux Mint were bad, but based on this response, I'll just assume you mean it doesn't run Adobe Photoshop or something, and SteamOS-but-for-desktop isn't going to fix that.

>>715842910
I will.

>>715841659
I wasn't "selling the lie" that he could get by without a terminal. I was presuming that he wouldn't use the terminal, and would run back to Windows if faced with a problem that required the terminal, because he basically said as much. And so I informed him that the "under the hood" aspects of the distro are irrelevant if he's going to refuse to do anything except click the desktop environment, and he should be asking which desktop environment is good. He still doesn't get it though.

>>715842910
I never said Linux Mint was bad "under the hood". I said Linux Mint was OK, but still not great. You're getting overly defensive and you're starting to put words into my mouth. You are not a reliable actor at this point.

>>715843110
I've used terminal. I use terminal daily. I do not want to run terminal if I don't have to. What is wrong with that? Why are Linux zealots adamant that everyone use terminal when it's not necessary for everyday OS function?

>>715843178
>I never said Linux Mint was bad "under the hood".
You responded with "false" to my point that the under-the-hood aspects of the OS are irrelevant if you're not touching the command line, and then mentioned Linux Mint, so it was entirely reasonable to assume that it was some under-the-hood aspect of Mint that was "not great". But I guess you're just illiterate.
>defensive
Nope. I'm just here to give good advice, such as that you should stay on Windows as I already suggested.

>>715843309
>to my point that the under-the-hood aspects of the OS are irrelevant if you're not touching the command line
False statement. If this is true, then Windows has nothing "under the hood". I await your clever response about Windows not having anything under the hood, but the fact of the matter is that it just werkz with pretty much everything thanks to everything under the hood, whereas Linux distros do not.

How am I supposed to learn all the console commands if I have 80iq

>>715843809

>>715843809
You don't need an IQ to learn terminal, just someone to pay all of your bills so you can waste time googling fixes for your hobbyist, ramshackle OS.

>>715843682
You're right by a technicality. I incorrectly paraphrased my earlier statement, which was actually
>If you don't want to touch the command line then you don't care what's under the hood.
which was in the context of comparing Linux distributions to each other.
So yes, Windows just works because of what's under the hood, and your issue with Linux is that it lacks what Windows has under the hood. All distributions of Linux do. So your quest for a Linux distribution which is "basically a Windows clone" is in vain, and you'd have to be computer-illiterate to believe that having SteamOS under the hood would change that. When someone who understands that Linux is fundamentally different from Windows asks for a distribution which provides a Windows-like experience, they are asking for one that comes with a good desktop environment that "feels" like using Windows, not for a distribution that can magically run Windows binaries without a compatibility layer or wherever you're trying to move the goalposts.

>>715844603
I get where you're coming from but a lot of the reason Linux isn't randomly using 100% of your network, Hard Drive, and RAM is due to that same "under the hood"edness that you're craving. Thats not to say Linux and the general retardLinux Desktop Experience™ can't be improved, but even the concession of using the terminal(to me) is worth far more than whatever the fuck windows is strangling out of my resources. But different strokes for different cokes

Lately I've been too tired from irl shit to play anything but some Doom. I made the switch to Linux like a year and a half ago, and I just think it's cool that at least my computer isn't another thing to be tired of.

Both are shit, but linux is less shit.
The good last actual good OS was Windows 7.
Everyhing else is just android envy shit, with some dash of OSX (the actual worst OS) tossed in for some bad measure.
Also DirectX12 is an aberration of nature that copy the absolute worst thing of OpenGL for no good reason whatsoever and has horrible shader stutters as a result.

Why are some faggots so assblasted over people using Linux?

>>715826526
I use a NTFS drive full time on Linux, read, write, user permissions, everything. It's mostly fine. However, if it gets corrupted for some reason it can't be fixed from Linux. You need chkdisk in windows to fix it. Since I am not dual booting and don't have a windows install, I just use windows pe to fix it if I need to. Had to fix it one time so far. I don't think ntfs3g can corrupt it, but I'm using the kernel driver for full functionality.

Hipster hate, but out of pure ignorance they’ve either failed at trying it or just have a very vague idea of what Linux is like. Their head jumps straight to “Oh, you’re just trying to be different/special. Fuck you.”

I've been on Linux much more over the past month (specifically EndeavourOS, with Plasma). It's been treating me very nicely ever since an update forced me onto Wayland a little while back. Most of my recent PC gaming has been emulation, which isn't a problem for Linux.

I still keep Windows 10 for compatibility, especially for Photoshop. GIMP and Krita fall short for me in specific areas that are just non-negotiable for me to fully commit to them.

For me, it's panel (taskbar) on the bottom, menu button in the bottom-left corner, grouped window list icons to the right of that, clock in the bottom-right corner, and tray icons on the left of that.
>uuugh but that's like Windows!!
Yeah, but I'm used to it. Duh. I can move any of these things wherever I want. (I can even change it to the disgusting Windows 11 layout in which the menu button is centered with the window icons so that it moves to the left as more windows are open.) But I won't. Why the fuck would I want to re-learn where to look for my clock? Just so that it's different? Sometimes it's good to be different, but if I set things up such that I always glance at the bottom right and then say "oh" and then look somewhere else whenever I want to see what time it is, etc., it's just going to be an experiment in how many insignificant little bullshits it takes to make me mad.

I tried playing RimWorld on Linux mint but it stutters consistently every few frames. That doesn't happen on windows.

Considering it's an actual desktop OS compared to Mint which is mainly suitable for computers in libraries/schools, yes. Mint is basically "Linux, if it's 2-3 years ago". You're lacking a lot of recent improvements if you use it.
However,
>stutters consistently every few frames
This could also be because of shader compilation, which would normally run before you start the game on Steam. If you skip it you're going to compile shaders while playing the game as you encounter new game objects.
