Linux Gaming Thread

What games have you played on your linux machine recently?

Resident evil 7 and garry's mod is my kind of thing at the moment.
I'm also trying to get silent hill 2 Enhanced Edition working, if anyone has the link to workarounds or to modded game files, tell me :^) pretty please.

    I saw someone play SH2EE on the Steam Deck earlier. No idea how it works in practice, as I'm still a Win7 user.

    Got curious of the WinesapOS recently.

      The game does work, but the setup tool that downloads mod files and extracts them to a game folder, just doesn't work for me.
      Their server might be down or the setup is just broken on wine.

      Why don't they just have a torrent with all of the mod files. Fricking morons.

                I admire you guys trying to get modern games to work well on Linux, but I just don't have the time to tinker with an OS endlessly. Works great for emulation, though.

                They had Amazon ads and search results once upon a time. Basically, Ubuntu tries to be successful and viable as an actual desktop, so it does the most to get normal software and services working - like account integration and whatnot. All of this is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL, mind.

      Can you elaborate? I've been using it for 10 years or so, and although back then issues were more common, I haven't had any issues in recent years save for updates very rarely not going through, but there's always a news post about it on the Arch site when that happens.

        I think the most recent one waa about grub. It can be fixed pretty easily by just using a arch boot drive as a backup and then using chroot and running through the grub stuff. Think it happened because grub changed things.

          Yeah I remember that one. I didn't have any issues since they made a news post about it, and my pacman wrapper (pikaur) fetches all news posts since the last update, so I made sure to update the EFI loader and regenerate the config file before rebooting, but I can see how it could frick someone up, especially if you're using pacman by itself since I don't think it fetches the news.

      To be fair (since you've obviously never used it), gaming on Linux isn't bad. A frick ton of games work just fine with little to zero "tweaking."
      The main genre of games that really have more serious issues are those with anticheats.
      Also, almost all emulators work fine to include PPSSPP, Yuzu, etc...

        There's some games with not so popular engines that will shit the bed with no anticheat. Compatibility is more of a popularity contest than anything, if you're playing obscure indie/japanese game or old gimmicky game that not everyone wants to run on modern OSes things get stupid. I feel a lot of people who claim that the problem with linux games is just anticheat don't really play that many games outside of what's generally expected to work these days.

    Question: is there any way of making bluetooth controllers get detected quicker after turning them on? I have an 8bitdo SN30 Pro 2 and this shit is instant on Windows, but it takes like a whole fricking minute after successfully being connected for games to recognize it. I thought games weren't recognizing my controller because of how long it took.

    Also, anyone using GNOME on x11? When you alt+tab out of a game, does it go dark and cannot be brought back unless you explicitly move the game window to a different workspace? I'm currently on KDE but I was testing GNOME a few hours ago and found that annoyance.

            im not really a joystick expert but I want to say they feel smoother/less resistant? my controllers are older than it of course so maybe age has done this but my dualsense/ds4/steam controller/xbone/switch pro all feel like they have this initial "rub" at the middle that I'm not getting on the 8bitdo ultimate
            hard to describe but middle of them all feels more resistant and also has a small audio click that I consistently hear on all of them except the hal effect sticks

    What's the worst workaround you had to do to make a game work? For me it has to be X-Blades with an old Proton version (5.0-10). The game slowed down to a crawl normally, so someone on protondb figured out you had to use taskset to make X-Blades run on the second CPU.

    Random tip: If you're on a desktop and notice that certain devices behave unusually, turn off or are extremely laggy (gamepads, HDs, audio-interfaces) turn off TLP, especially if you're on KDE! Install "TLP UI" if the cfg is too confusing and turn off the service.

      Ubuntu is pretty infamous for its questionable decisions over the years, like the Amazon adware, Unity desktop, Mir display server and Snap packages. It's a miracle it has managed to maintain its status as babby's first distro through all of it, but it is one of the most "just werks" distros out there so it has that going for it.
      Pop is just an Ubuntu-derivative, but brings nothing of value to the table, and it had that dumb dependency frickup that caused installing Steam to delete the desktop environment.
      Arch is fine after you've set it up, but the initial setup process has filtered countless users, especially before it got an official install script.

      Note that the original image had Mint and Manjaro instead of Ubuntu and Arch, and together with Pop they're a group of surprisingly popular distros that don't bring any benefits compared to the distros they're derived from.

              OpenSUSE's YaST single-handedly puts any GUI Mint offers to shame. Anything involving the command line sounds bad depending on the moron you're spooking but I'm a different type of moron.
              Bloatware is irrelevant since Debian, Ubuntu, and even variants like Kubuntu either have net installs (where you roll your own on top of the base system) or minimal installs.

              Mint offers nothing in comparison.

      there was a problem with the devs using a deprecated windows api or something but at this point the patch to bypass it should be merged upstream in proton

        It got merged in valve fork of wine, but not merged in official wine. The current implementation have some chance of causing sava data corruption.

    Mindustry.

    I've never played Factario but what I understand from the steam reviews is that this is a bit more on the RTS side of things. This game is incredibly satisfying but also insanely disappointing meaning you will spend WEEKS perfecting a base and have an enemy wave crush it completely over the span of four hours while you defend multiple other fields that are under attack. It's FOSS so you can download it for free or buy it from Steam.

    GloriousEggroll isn't updating it every other day anymore, what do we think of it now it's stable?
    The choice of using steam as an appimage over flatpak seems questionable

      DXVK is for DX9-11 and VKD3D is for DX12, so both if you plan to play anything that uses DX12, if not only DXVK is enough

        Gotcha thanks, so you can install both on a wine prefix without conflicts?

    I really want to like kde, but things just don't work sometimes take the global menu bar for instance.
    Yes, I know that I could just learn the shortcut, but I don't want to. I'm used to clicking on a menu and that's what's comfortable for me.
    Does anyone know if there's a global menu addon alternative that works, or is it that the global menu kde addon needs configuration?

    Are non-systemd distros simpler to use? Been looking at Void Linux lately.

        Well, it's not that. I've been struggling with setting up my user environment variables with systemd - apparently they are only visible to systemd services/processes, which was pretty annoying. It feels like having 2 environments on my Arch.

    >muh overrated distros
    what the frick do you suggest then?
    >gentoo
    frick that, not going to spend a day compiling my OS
    >other ubuntu flavors
    basically the same as ubuntu
    >debian
    old as frick. if you suggest using unstable it's the same as fricking ubuntu
    >manjaro
    it's arch for homosexuals
    >elementaryOS
    I don't give a shit about eye-candy. bloated, resource-intensive waste of RAM
    >OpenSUSE
    have no experience with it
    >Fedora
    no experience

        So are Fedora and oSUSE ok for vidya or are packages only up to date on debian and its derivatives?

          OpenSUSE has a rolling variant, Tumbleweed, similar to Arch.
          All distros generally function the same but you have doomposters saying there's no way in hell Debian can.

    On a whim, I decided to give Minetest/Mineclone2 a try. I loved Terraria, so I should've known Mineclone would pull me in, but man, I was glued to it for a couple days there.

    Was open-source software a mistake?
