What games have you been playing on your Linux PC recently?
The shitposters seem distracted by the off-topic Linux thread that has literally nothing to do with video games, so it seems like a good time to have an actual gaming-related one.

Linux games in GOG's summer sale: gog.com
Playable demos for Linux on Steam: store.steampowered.com
You can also sort by platform on the Next Fest page, but then it shows all games marked as Linux-compatible even if their demos are Windows-only.

Will Linux ever be as good for gaming as Windows is right now? There are a lot of multiplayer games that I would miss if I switch to Endeavour OS
Sebastian Parker
can you play OpenLara natively on linux?
Jonathan Martinez
waitin for Sunbreak later this month, got it at a discount on GMG but I bet creamapi will work
finally getting into dark silver tier in V Rising, need to gear up servants so I can afk farm silver more
might get back into Vintage Story for 1.16.X
can go back and finally finish my first run of Code Vein but the last area I'm in just feels so low-effort with recycled assets from the cathedral which was already a terrible area
Liam Harris
Yes.
github.com
"OpenLara_nix.zip" one is the Linux version.

don't even use Windows for games anymore besides one VR title that relies on Windows Media Foundation calls
really depends on what games you play, or more specifically which games you MUST play
if you're a zoomer who like's Tim's special game then you'll be out of luck because he has a childish, baseless hatred of Linux and claims they can't keep the children safe from the Linux-aimbot kernel
otherwise, just bug your favorite game developer to tick a single checkbox and add an .so for their shitty anticheat that doesn't even stop cheaters
or play games that don't try to install rootkits onto your system, that works too

>Will Linux ever be as good for gaming as Windows is right now?
Objectively speaking, the only way I know how to measure "good for gaming" is to count how many games natively support the platform. In that sense, unless something insane happens with Windows that absolutely kills it as a gaming platform, the answer is no. A lot of devs will always support whatever has the most users, and nothing else. It's a feedback loop. Windows support because Windows users because Windows support.
Subjectively, if your favorite games do run on Linux and you enjoy using Linux more than Windows, then Linux is better. The games that require Windows don't matter if you're not going to play them.
>There are a lot of multiplayer games that I would miss if I switch to Endeavour OS
Then you could dual boot. You might ultimately decide to have only one OS on your computer and make it Windows, but if you're interested enough in Linux to be asking about it at all, then it might be worthwhile to use use it for everything except whatever specific games are holding you back.
Jace Wilson
you use proton-GE or experimental?
Chase King
Stable.

wondering if I should use my integrated graphics for linux and play my games on a vm with gpu passthrough for my rtx 3070. anyone else run that kind of setup?
Asher Miller
>after Q3 for my steam deck reservation
>stuck with a laptop with intel hd graphics until then
it hurts bros
Nolan Anderson
What's your Ram situation?
If you dual channel that shit it might be a bit more bareable.
Christian Nguyen
If you need to play games with anticheat just dual boot.

I'm stuck on nvidia but I really want to switch. After using Linux in university I've loved it way more than windows. Here's hoping nvidia will someday play nice with wayland and linux in general.
Christian Mitchell
you can do it but some games try to detect if they're running in a VM just because developers are shitters
Jackson Nguyen
don't need wayland to game
nvidia works for gaming on linux
Jaxson Ortiz
Oh really? Any weird issues you've come across? I've always heard nvidia on Linux is asking for trouble.
Eli Cook
Alright Any Forums, how exactly do we make the common Wintard migrate to GNU/Linux?
>they can stay on Windows that's their pref-
Nope. I want them to move to GNU/Linux and have them be actively disturbed by the prospect of using Windows like I am. How do we do it?
Brayden Smith
ran into one game, Hat in Time (haven't played it yet), that required going to Proton 6 despite AMD users reporting that 7 was working just fine
could be an Unreal Engine 4 quirk
if you're running multiple monitors it can help to set a few env vars in your .profile to tell the drivers what your primary refresh-rate target is and such; arch wiki has all that info on its nvidia page thankfully
Aaron Cooper
It's more of a general rule of thumb that for non-compute performance that nvidia tends to be worse since their drivers are proprietary, and their primary linux customers for the longest time have been people doing compute work.
