          Native ports from many years ago still work on my machine.
          Steam Linux Runtime also provides many of the libraries that old ports may otherwise be missing (e.g. libcrypto.so.1.0.0).

          I've been playing Donut Dodo, objectively the best game ever made. Better than Fortrim and Skynite. Anyone who disagrees is just bad at games.
          My kid has also been using my computer to play Super Meat Boy (native Linux version which just works so I'm laughing at ).

    Will explicit sync finally fix Linux gaming?

    • 1 month ago
      Anonymous

      I've been running X11 this whole time and deal with screen tearing if I don't turn pic related on.
      If I keep it on when I want to game things run at less than 1 FPS.

      The fact that I will no longer have to do this and can just use Wayland is enough for me to never want to return to Windows again.

    been using AFMF on my old gamer system. I don't know if I'm willing to give up that one feature. AMD would be able to get it running on non-windows systems if they really wanted, right? My assumption of the AMD>linux situation is that they just give out what they are willing to share and others take it to keep things like Mesa3D compatible

      refusing to use a 99% compatible alternative that doesn't charge you before making another 5000% profit from you using it, in-turn actively making your time using said product infinitely worse, makes you a moronic cuckold that would unironically enjoy popup insta-trojans to become standard again.
      there is only one reason not to use it and even MS agrees, it is so that you can play specific games with specific hardware, with specific BIOS settings so you can use a specific optional feature (fluid motion frames). If you do want this feature, you should at least have other systems at arms length

      I switched when Microsoft locked me out of my PC for a month when I updated my bios. Haven't had any issues. Every game I play (even ones with AC) work just fine. 0 problems. From VotV, to Helldivers 2, to DRG, to Sekiro, to Battlebit. All run as expected. Some run better than they did on Windows for me. I still have a windows install, but it's just for my DAW now.

            Why lie about something even nvidia themselves admit isn't true? Wayland is really bloated shit with the most r e t a r d e d design philosophies when trying to actually be used on as a desktop OS and it will never be useable until they realize you can't just give applications 0 context of the things around them, and require *every* binding be implemented to make a window manager for it.

            The people who latch on to wayland do so because it's the "new thing" and they need to pick a team like a moron. It's objectively bad software. Using mixed refresh rate monitors easily isn't worth all of the other shit it brings.

                what difference does it make agai that you use x11 with actually more code to make your wm as opposed to wayland+wlroots/something else to make your wm work? You are essentially still coding as much as you are gonna code

          no, you dont need Steam to play games on Linux. For some native games, it does give you a runtime with some libraries that some older games might work out of the box but that is not 99% of the time what you are doing anyway.

          I can play any Windows game I want using wine/proton outside of Steam in the current date, if they are working in wine/proton. Older windows games often work better on Linux (meaning you never run into a problem like in Windows where game just doesnt boot because your windows version is too new for the game) because wine gives them old windows libraries to use.

            where do 7th and early 8th gen games stand on being considered "older". by older you mean like 90s and 6th gen games?

            >I can play any Windows game I want using wine/proton outside of Steam in the current date
            that's good to hear. so I can use proton without steam? I never used steam in my life and never will I'm just "borrowing" games. i'm just curious if they could work on Linux with wine or proton.

              I mean you talked about 8th gen as if there was a problem with those games so I assumed you thought they are old and not supported or something so they dont work on Linux. What I think of as old game is something like the first Harry Potter games which I remember had problesm running even in Windows Vista
              Anything that is basically listed as not supported on Windows 10 in specs is basically in danger of not working on Windows. On Linux that isnt a problem because Wine provides an environment for those games (you can give them XP environments etc).
              >that's good to hear. so I can use proton without steam? I never used steam in my life and never will I'm just "borrowing" games. i'm just curious if they could work on Linux with wine or proton.
              right now yes, you can but using Proton itself outside of Steam without command line is experimental. Launchers like Lutris and Heroic are working on getting Proton to work on it and you'll probably see them used later this year. Running Proton right now on those launchers will make them use Steam binaries, so its not really outside of Steam, but the technology to make it work outside of Steam completely is there, they just need to make a GUI and everything for it.

              But you dont really need Proton outside of Steam because as said, Proton is just Wine+DXVK+VKD3D plus some Steam related stuff and some input mapping. Lutris and Heroic provide these for you and only thing you miss is input mapping (controls still work, but game will not recognize your Playstation 4 controller as Playstation 4 controller and will show Xbox inputs, not a big deal).

              also
              If you mean borrowing games as in piracy, note that piracy in Linux is iffy. The site that you could use to direct download GOG games worked perfectly, because the exes and game files themselves work pefrectly, but when using repacks and cracking games yourself, it becomes a platform problem.

              when you are running the repack programs like DODIs or Fitgirls, they might crash on you in Linux when using Wine to run them. Obviously since its cracking, wine devs havent touched that area so its unstable. Sometimes the repacks work, sometimes they crash. But if you are able to install the games, then you are often good. You might have to install some windows components using winetricks (that comes with wine and which has a GUI) and usually its just some directx or VCR shit

              Rather than thinking about console gens, you should be looking at DirectX versions the games use. Wine has awful built-in support for 10 and above, which lines up with 7th gen and later so that's probably what you're thinking of. However, this can easily be fixed with installing DXVK (for DX 10, 11 and also better support for 9) and VKD3D-Proton (DX12). Steam does this automatically so that's where the misconception that you need Steam and Proton comes from.
              If you don't want to fiddle with anything yourself, there are launchers like Lutris or Bottles which will do this for you even for games acquired from other sources.

          to explain it further
          all what Steam does with Linux is that it acts as a launcher for wine/proton. The underlying technologgy isnt really from Valve, some of the graphics stuff separate from plain wine like DXVK (DirectX9/10/11) and VKD3D-Proton (DirectX12) are Valve funded projects but they are all open source and you are free to use them outside of Steam. Proton can also be used outside of Steam because Valves Linux runtime is also open source.

    Just installed mint on my new PC. Everything that I care about already runs on deck so it seemed like a no-brainer, especially considering the absolute state of windows
    The first thing I'll probably do with this beast of an upgrade is keep playing Fire Emblem 4 and then maybe play El Shaddai HD that I bought during the last steam sale.
    Never mind the cable gore; I'll fix it tomorrow I promise. Will probably wanna move this thing away from the window once summer comes around too, but that's still a ways away

      Depends on the VN but a lot of jap devs use extremely out of date and proprietary M$ video codecs for some fricking reason, probably because of the software they used to make it.

    so, if computers started running arm, would we be point blank again as far as linux gaming? or we'd have two layers of translation? im assuming windows would never make the switch without appropriate software ready first, which isn't guaranteed to work on linux.

      Windows will have an emulator to support games when the switch to ARM happens. Valve is also funding the development of ARM userspace emulator called FEX
      You would emulate Linux x86 to use Wine

        and would that be a big problem? i mean, arm is supposed to be much more powerful than x86, so it would cancel itself out right? i mean the overhead.

          Anonymous

          ARM is more energy efficient, dont know if it'll be that much more powerful
          Hard to say. The current stage of Box86/64 and Fex is very early and the performance is not that good (in Apple silicon AFAIK Vulkan doesnt work right now so you are limited to openGL and you can play Morrowind in like 10 fps). Most of it is related to troons getting Asahi Linux and Steam working right now.

          But this is really a software problem btw. This is hardware issue, there just isnt that much ARM hardware and what there is is just basically locked down hardware either for Windows or for Mac and to have them even boot or have them use the hardware correctly you need to reverse engineer them. It is not a coincidence that its like this and the amount of very autistic but talented trannies working on these things.

          Linux already supports ARM, has done it far far far longer than Windows but the problem is the locked down hardware. ARM is basically used in phones and laptops and that design is right now locked with not much standardization. Microsoft back in the day forced x86 standards but its not the case with ARM right now so every device is the same reverse engineering all over again.

          I assume if the switch to ARM really happens, Valve is gonna help with the hardware side. Most likely they are very interested, if not developing ARM based Steam Deck already since they are already funding ARM development.

          No, loading files as in loading files. One example - and the one that bothers me most is, the model picker in SFM will either completely hang and crash SFM, or completely hang until firefox or mpv is closed - at which point it'll resume searching.
