Linux gaming thread

RTS GOAT and it's FOSS.

only linux distro you can game on properly is ubuntu and if you're on ubuntu you might as well just use windows since they're both compromised OSes

Lay off the pipe dude.

I FUCKING LOVE LINUX
But i hate fixing it

>>718801149
this guy is correct. first time i downloaded linux, it was linux mint in like 2016 and like apparently the ISO i downloaded from THEIR OFFICIAL WEBSITE had a fucking like trojan or virus or some shit in it. and then the second time i try linux, it was in like 2021. i needed an OS for gaming so i got pop_os and all i did to brick my pc was download stream. that was all it took to break it. now i was pretty disillusioned at this point and didnt touch linux again until this year when i tried arch which is supposedly the "best" distro. so i installed it, downloaded firefox, and the next day, im notified that there was a fucking virus or some shit in one of the libraries on the package manager or some shit. i swear linux is so fucking trash like dont even try this shit and save yourself the headache

Gentoo gang.

Is your name also Linus? Do you have a tech channel? Does the phrase: "Yes do as I say!" hold any meaning to you? Pretty obvious bait.

>>718801975
>b-b-but ackhtually linux is virus-free and works fine 99% of the time
windows works 100% of the time AND it has anti-virus built in.

Are there any good recent steam games that work on linux I'm bored

>>718802147

>AND it has anti-virus built in

Your bait was somewhat believable the first time but now it's starting to grow a bit too obvious.

>>718802216

I mean, pretty much all of them when using Proton. The only hangup is some multiplayer games with kernel level anti-cheat. If the developers don't toggle on linux compatibility you're SOL.

>>718802216

If you want a good idea of how individual games run on Linux check out ProtonDB.

>>718802230
im not wrong which is why you're not taking apart my arguments, and instead just question my credibility unduly

>>718802878
yeah what an idiot. those three times were the only times EVER that linux allegedly had malware, and he expects us to believe he experienced them all? ridiculous!

linux is completely safe operating system run by completely random people with lots of qualifications and integrity. you can trust these people with your data, sir! also im not a shill, just a linux chad. you can be a chad like me too, you just have go to linux.com and download linux right now for free, sir!

>>718802530
If you value aesthetics (physical or metaphysical) you don't use Linux in the first place, so it's water under the dam dude

Why is every Linux thread filled with desperate FUD posting?

>>718803793
What a stupid take, Linux is as pretty as you make it yourself. People who tend to choose gentoo have simply developed a gene that robs them of taste.

>>718802319
is this game fun?

What you playing, Linuxbros? Currently replaying Sekiro because I stumbled across an fps unlock mod.

>>718805041
Mainly playing some SF6 and FFX at the moment

>>718805041
just playing baba is you. Might start megaman legends or whatever other psx game i have because i feel like i reached the limit of what i can accomplish.

>>718801149
What the fuck are you babbling about? Ubuntu is easily the worst of the major distros for gaming because of the ancient packages. For gaming the only reasonable choices are Fedora or Arch based, unless you have ancient hardware and don't play any new games, in which case Ubuntu and other Debian based distros are fine.

>>718804232

Could be one (or multiple) of many things.

>Microsoft shills
>Fanboys
>People who got filtered or desperately need to justify their decision to not even try Linux
>People whose favorite YouTuber said "Linux Bad" and they parrot that shit like it's going out of style desperate to prove their parasocial friendship.

That's just to name a few.

I value function. Its form does what I need and Gentoo has the functionality and stability I want. If I want to actually rice it at some point I will. Until then, I just don't care.

>>718805041

System Shock 2 since the new anniversary remaster dropped. Beyond All Reason is another big play for me right now. About to play through Dark Messiah of Might and Magic for the first time despite owning it since it was new.

Right now, I'm doing another playthrough of Nier Automata after playing Stellar Blade like 5 times and getting a bit burnt out on it at the moment. I'm also playing Destrega on Mednaffe.

Does anyone know any games with hot red-headed chicks? I know of Bloodrayne and that's about it.

>>718801243
Flatpak used bubblewrap by default, which is a sandbox application. You can turn off access to other directories or even the network with that. There's a gui flatpak app called flatseal you can toggle permissions for all other flatpaks with. There's also a steam flatpak.

>>718809538
>sandbox
lol. all the "sandbox" does is ask the sandboxed program to not do any of those things. the sandboxed program can always just reject those requests which is exactly what it will do if it's actual malware. never feel safe just because you're using a sandbox

Then you should know how namespaces work in Linux and know that what you just described is not how sandboxing programs work on Linux at all. And that bypassing a proot without permission is a vulnerability that will be patched.

Gamescope is finally working with my novidya card.

>>718811323
workjed for me this whole time

>>718811360
For me it was always borked. I launched a game with it the first time and it worked fine. Then I tried launching it again and it just wouldn't launch at all. Now I've been playing Venetica with it and I can freely alt+tab without the game shitting the bed. I think I'll give Arcanum another try next.

>>718811512
what do you think changed? there hasn't been an update in a month i think

>>718805780
It's just a wintroon retard, they're always ready to immediately shit up any linux thread to trick people into staying on their tranny os. If wintroons didn't have lies they would have nothing.

>>718812507
No they have to post lies about linux that only a mouth drooling retard would believe, that's the main audience of windows and even then they have to make up nonsensical bullshit lies to keep them from fleeing.

>>718813382
I doubt that.

redpill me on cachy ive been seeing it fucking everywhere but it just seems like endeavour, another arch with installer type

>>718801149
Ubuntu is compromised of what?
Any source or proof to substantiate your claims?

>>718814197
It's arch with custom install and setup and offers its own repos with optimized packages.

>>718805041
I've been playing Painkiller, currently going through Nightmare difficulty. I was going to bump it to Trauma after the Prison level, which has the only tarot card available on Nightmare and not on Insomnia, but I think I'll keep going on this difficulty. It's more fun to go through levels a second time, because I've already got the tarot card and don't feel obligated to do the optional objectives which are usually not fun (like this level, for example, requiring exclusive use of the default weapon).
Anyway, I don't understand all the weird recommendations on this game's ProtonDB page (disabling DXVK etc.); it just works for me with Proton 5.13 (using DXVK, even, or at least, so says the MangoHud). But I don't know, maybe running it with WineD3D on the latest Proton is "better" somehow. Or maybe Proton 5.13 didn't work for them.

>For gaming the only reasonable choices are Fedora or Arch based
As someone who's been "meaning to" switch for a while, gimme yer argument on Arch vs Bazzite and/or whatever else.
Cause Win11 is such a pile of garbage.
I accidentally made it significantly worse for myself at the start of the year and have refused to fix it, but that's a separate issue.

>>718816732
Bazzite is supposed to be batteries included. You're likely to have a good time and not need really any setup for most games. Only if you have a non-standard setup or are doing something weird.
Arch has a larger community. You're more likely to find a wiki article, forum post, or someone willing to help you do something, even if it's weird. Arch will require you to do the setup yourself though, so if you have anything nonstandard, you have a better chance of getting it right, because you're doing it yourself. In the old days it didn't even ship and installer, it had one even before that but it sucked, now they have a pretty good terminal based installer that covers many standard use cases.

marrying sakura!

r8 my fetch. currently playing SMT V Vengeance and Nier Replicant. Was able to get both special k and reshade working at the same time on nier so im pretty happy because man, let me tell you, you absolutely have to jump through massive hoops to get things working the way you would on windows. But it DOES work, and i never have to fucking deal with windows bullshit ever again.

>>718817154
Considering my setup is pretty standard (with the only caveat being Nvidia), I was inclined towards Bazzite and this more or less confirms "yeah, just use Bazzite, lol."
Thanks Anon.
I'll slap it onto my bootable Monday.

That's a side-effect of being built in Luascript.
You're trading graphics for ease of development.
Unlike Unreal 5, where you're trading performance for ease of development (at a 5:1 return, lol).

Colony ship was pretty good. It's from the same creators of The Age of Decadence.

>>718816732
Personally I don't get the appeal of bazzite and immutable sistros, it just bloats stuff up and takes away control for not much of a benefit.

My video gaming entertainment system runs on GNU/Linux, and Bill Gates is seething.

WEGs and hgames run just fine either natively or with wine 10 on really old laptop.

Good thing they're so fucking stupid.
These guys apparently can't jump off or climb even small ledges, but I'm pretty sure they can get to where I am by going down those stairs and then coming back up on my side of the tracks, so they didn't just keep going for no reason. Still funny though.

this and kernel optimzations (though I'm pretty sure you can just install it on any dist.).
I use it for my Legion Go to have that Steam Deck experience with gamescope

>>718816604

I mean it's a spiritual successor to Total Annihilation and tangentially Supreme Commander. So only "generic" if you consider those mainstream. Still early development but fully featured and a ton of fun. UI is admittedly a bit shit right now but they're redesigning that. It's an alpha after all but more playable than most modern RTS slop.

Post the animated gif

thoughts on using arch hurd?

>>718823284

Kinda pointless unless you really want to go full free (as in freedom) on your Linux install. If you're planning to game, odds are you aren't so just go base Arch.
