Thread 718306920

What games have you been playing on your Linux machine?

No Windows golems allowed, your smell ruins these once comfy threads.

linux be like: nothing works but maybe if you run this possibly malicious command you found on line it will work

windows be like: everything just works and it even has microsoft defender to defend your pc from hackers (linux is defenseless in this regard)

>>718306920 (OP)
Been deep into Broforce and Dusk lately-both run flawlessly through native or Proton. Also gave Wine another shot for Morrowind + OpenMW, and it's butter smooth now. I dual booted like a cuck for the longest time, but finally ditched Windows altogether after getting Vulkan shaders sorted for Skyrim modding. Feels good man. Also, shoutout to Heroic Games Launcher-it actually made my EGS library usable on Linux. God bless the neckbeards keeping this stuff alive.

>I dual booted like a cuck for the longest time, but finally ditched Windows altogether
Recently did the same.
I've been using Linux for years now but never gamed on it. I'm really surprised how good Proton is.
And it's super easy to use too.
I've even been able to use modding tools for various games on Linux with Bottles. It just works.

I'm playing Thief: Deadly Shadows (even the sneakyupgrade patch ran flawlessly on Wine) & Bayonetta.

Sadly Windowscucks will continue to shill for Microsoft for free even when, inevitably, Windows 12 will require you to send your dick pic + ID to Microsoft for verification.

wait a minute, all those PC disks I have that no longer work on windows due to ms disabling securom, could I play those through proton?

>>718306920 (OP)
DoW 1 remaster and Vicky 3. Vicky 3 sucks. Still need to finish Clair Obscure.

>>718308227
There is probably a securom package for wine so I guess yes.

I tried Bazzite for a month or two but Zenless Zone Zero on Lutris kept freezing the system after playing for awhile, I have to force shutdown every time. Switched to Nobara out of desperation but it still froze... but is able to recover after a few seconds. Turns out my PC's RAM and Swap memory go apeshit for some reason when the game is on but Nobara is able to handle it properly and kills the offending process when it happens.

Besides that, amdgpu commits sudoku once in awhile and I have to restart kde wayland. I think it's just my 5700xt being an old man.

Does anyone know if chink receivers for gamepads work btw? I'm getting a new mobapad controller soon and I don't plan to use bluetooth with it when I can get something much more stable. I heard the standalone receiver they sell works perfectly.

>>718306920 (OP)
Clearing my backlog. About to start divinity original sin 2. Never finished rdr2 but it's been so long I may start over, I kinda missed some quests early on iirc.

>>718308778
i mean he's not wrong. you need a certain level of knowledge to use linux and the command system

So which distro do I emigrate to after Windows 10 dies?

>>718309026
I have several chink controllers and they work on Steam at least

>>718306920 (OP)
I wanted to use Linux but my distro can't do that 4chan thing where you just paste the image link into the image picker. Sad!

>>718306920 (OP)
RADV has been a game changer to me. It's so much faster than Nvidia on Windows.

>>718309943
Linux Mint / CachyOS / SteamOS

all install in less than 5 minutes on your ssd, all you need is a usb.

>>718306920 (OP)
Fedora user here. I've been playing nfs most wanted (2005, of course)

>>718309943
Mint is easily best for a Linux newcomer, the current gaming-oriented distros have issues you might run into which are solvable but will probably annoy you as someone who never used Linux before and is only making the jump out of necessity.

>>718306920 (OP)
GTAVCDE, Mario&Luigi (DOS), OW2 and Blue Archive. I plan to play Kingpin soon and replay SIN.

>>718310082
I wouldn't recommend CachyOS or SteamOS.
SteamOS works because it's specifically aimed at one device and one intended user experience, essentially protecting itself from idiocy by limiting choice. This doesn't extend to a a desktop experience.
CachyOS is something I've tried a few times, but it's just got weird behavior that is not consistent with vanilla Arch and it's not going to have that same readily available information as soon as you step outside the narrow band of what CachyOS is designed for, because you don't know what part of this "pre-riced" distro is different from vanilla Arch that is causing the failure.

I would recommend just using archinstall and following some recommended steps after that. If you really want the CachyOS optimizations, then you can just install the CachyOS kernel on vanilla Arch.

Isn't there a persistent problem of win11 literally halving your cpu performance because unless you've rooted through all the settings. Any cpu with 2 CCDs win11 would just shut one off and refuse to use it? Isn't the reason for it power saving for the environment?

Currently playing any of these.

Not Battlefield 6 but I would like to. I might have to detransition back to windows.

>>718316943
But it's not cryptic. It's plaintext and even ChatGPT could probably give you an accurate hallucination of what it does 99% of the time if you're too stupid to RTFM. But it doesn't matter because the "possibly malicious command" doesn't actually exist because in reality you just use Proton, and if that fails then the solution is almost always launch options, not shell commands. Also, anon spelled "online" as two words so he's too dumb to use a computer.

>>718306920 (OP)
My kid's been playing teardown on the living room Linux machine we use for playing/watching pirated media, and I got Cyberpunk installed on there yesterday for "after bed time" gaming.

>>718317223
Didn't even know there was one up.
I still think it's important to have linux threads on v though.
Despite the shitposting that floods these threads, it might genuinely get some people interested in linux gaming.

Let's say I want to stop dualbooting and just use windows but I'm on a secondary partition after the windows one, and it's btrfs (I heard there's trouble but that might be xfs not btrfs)
Can I possibly move btrfs back after removing windows, extend that partition, and mount /home on a different ext4 drive without it taking a shit?

>>718319278
>Let's say I want to stop dualbooting and just use windows but I'm on a secondary partition after the windows one, and it's btrfs (I heard there's trouble but that might be xfs not btrfs)
It's btrfsthat has the problem, if you improperly shut down either through power loss or holding the power button to force off it writes metadata incorrectly. Only affects mainline 6.16 kernels, likely to be fixed already if you undate. If you use LTS kernels ie: 6.12 you're fine.
>Can I possibly move btrfs back after removing windows, extend that partition, and mount /home on a different ext4 drive without it taking a shit?
Btrfs allows for live shrinking ans growing, so you can.
You can also mount as many drives as you want. You will want to move the contents of /home to it before mounting permanently, but yes it will work.

Linux is annoying.
But windows is twice as annoying, so i picked the less annoying one.
Also how the fuck people purposefully use OSX? that thing is fucking incredibly fucking annoying.
Dolphin is trash, but is 100 times more usable than finder.

>>718310960
no it wasn't fearmongering, game devs shouldn't be able to attest that i have "genuine hardware" or be able to uniquely identify my machine
there has been less controversy over this than when intel wanted to add a serial number instruction to the pentium 3, only goes to show how many people grew up on ipads

>>718320547
The oldheads are tired and have retreated into their own corners, the newfags just plain don't know any better. This are going to get much much worse because people have zero self control and simply cannot say "No" to their entertainment overlords and just not buy whatever new thing.

I wanted to try BF6 so I used sbctl to set up dual secure boot which was really easy. But BF6 is not very good.

Instead I've been playing Quake maps from the last few years. Ter Shibboleth is grandiose as fuck, the enemy selection and level flow is all over the place but the size and novelty of the maps makes up for it. Map 1 was Alcatraz, map 3 was a Japanese cliffside village that ended with another village across the gorge launching rockets at the one you're in. The novelty of it feels a lot like the Dwell mapset.

>>718324128
I never had a problem that took more than one google search to solve.
Of course, i had several problems, but the total time to "fix a linux" is like 30 min.
To fix windows first you have to learn x64 assembly and get aida pro.

>>718324128
Actually, that didn't happen. I just used my mouse to click through the GOG installer and then I started the game. I can't imagine why you'd cope and seethe about Brigador of all things. The game supports Linux and just works.

Maybe I should record more videos of games being launched from my desktop and see if I get butthurt (You)s every time.

I actually bought a Steam Deck recently. Does that mean I can be part of the cool kids table now?

>>718325126
Steam Deck is an x86-64 computer that runs Linux. So yes, unless you install Windows on it.

>>718325126
There's no cool kids table, just a bunch of people coping with the death of Windows 7 in different manners, and faggots (OSX users).

>>718319251
>Micrsoft shills

You faggots are neither and your internet traffic, searches, and presence are still 100% being logged

>coping with the death of Windows 7
fug, ya got me. installing Linux had been on my mind honestly. maybe I give it a trial run on my old laptop before nuking my pc. my only concern is I'm an old playing old man games, I would probably have to usesomr of my limited brain power to get some of them to work on linux.

>>718325774
If you're talking about the fraction of a second that it freezes when clicking the "Deploy" button, it's probably just loading the level from my spinning rust because there's zero loading when clicking "Engage". I didn't notice any other stuttering. But if you found a stutter by going through the video frame-by-frame then congratulations, I guess. It's most likely just a recording issue.
If you're seeing lots of stutters then it's a playback issue on your end because it looks smooth to me.

>>718326040
I would recommend you running linux on the old laptop even if you decides against having it on the main desktop anyway.

>>718326040

>>718326040
Linux compatibility layers inherently support old Windows environments whereas modern Windows does not (properly). It is unironically easier to get old games working on Linux than on Windows.

>>718327951
I don't know, I love it personally, especially when you move windows around and the glassy effect has that semi-fixed glow inside the window frame.

>>718328349
>they are literally part of KDE, if you use Link(aka shortcut) you get the arrows
Proper desktop shortcuts on Linux are not links. they are .desktop files, and no any sane desktop environment superimposes an arrow emblem on those. Besides, the arrows shown in your screenshot are obviously based on the Windows one, so don't pretend that's just a thing Linux does.
>thats due to the small icon size
But it wouldn't look like that on your precious Windows. No way in fuck did it scale with icon image size like that. And, for that matter, neither should the arrow that Linux desktops actually do add to symbolic links on the desktop. So you're not even making any fucking sense.

When I installed linux I figured I would learn vim and get myself coding again since getting an environment set up in windows was a huge pain in the ass without being a student for the visual studio suite. I started vimtutor once, deferred it for later because I didn't want to be learning an input scheme at the same time as getting the system running the way I wanted, and never went back to it.

>>718306920 (OP)

>>718325642
>people having issues with Linux and needing to change distros
You're only making yourself look stupid. If they need to change distros it means they installed something not designed for their use case to begin with. It's more like someone installing a version of windows meant for kiosks or POS systems and bitching that it needs to be reconfigured and have a ton of shit bolted to it to be usable as a desktop.

>>718329470
desu, learning vim motions is way more beneficial than vim itself. Using vim as an IDE takes some effort and learning of how LSPs actually function and you need to configure the LSP separately for every language.

anything that disrupts focus, window, fullscreen, alt-tab...
gamescope or virtual desktop

>>718330983
Gamescope really is great at making badly programmed games stop shitting their pants about not having 100% control over the user's display.

>>718306920 (OP)
I've had no issues running games but mods are something else. They all work but almost no mod manager does
Biggest loss was warhamner 3. Also can't get rpfm to work.

>>718330603
Gamescope or WINE virtual desktop should remedy this

>>718331249
yeah gamescope runs the game in its own little bubble where it can pretend to be the king.

Reminder that Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut is fully playable if you do 10 times more tweaking than the game is worth. (All of this shitty PC port's inherent flaws and bugs are still there, of course.)
And now I have to point out that the pre-rendered cutscenes work too, because otherwise someone will presume they don't and say "heh, but the cutscenes don't work". Fuck you; yes they do. You just have to waste your fucking time wrestling with Protontricks and Winetricks to get them to apply the right tweaks to an outdated Proton version. 4chan allows only one file per post, which is why I've chosen a kino in-game (but still a cutscene I guess) screenshot instead of a boring frame of a pre-rendered FMV that you'd probably call fake anyway.

>>718332234
Oh, I forgot I had this video.

>>718332654
Never mind how long it takes to load a game on an ancient toaster. The length of this game's unskippable start-up logo crap is insane. (I think it can be modded out, but if you do such things on Linux then the Linux haters say the game isn't working.)

>>718329470

I've been daily driving Nobara for a few months and it's pretty good. After headaching through a new OS I will never go back to Windows, unless they irreparably enshittify Linux into oblivion or something. (which I heard they're actively trying to do)

>>718337085
Linux is too diffuse to be universally and perpetually enshittified

>>718336076
It's a little fucked but many games work good enough.

>>718337192
Well, removal of a filesystem because some women were offended will work towards that

>>718337519
Enshittification arises from a corporate push to squeeze more money out of a reasonably popular product. This concern doesn't exist for Linux on any level. One distro doing something doesn't affect any other distro.

>>718337724
I'm talking about the kernel here

>>718337192
True, but there seems to be a lot of fuss around what Red Hat is doing, Wayland, systemd etc., and a lot of distros are affected because they're down streaming all these features from the major distros like Fedora & Ubuntu. As a Linux noob I'm not gonna pretend like I know the full situation but there seems to be vocal groups of people all saying the same thing.
