I've recently played through all the campaigns included in repo for Lugaru, and have been thinking about trying to make a dumb anime mod for it.
Next up I'll either dip into The Dark Mod or finally play through the repo installs of Beneath A Steel Sky and DarkWeb which have been kinda rotting on my drives.
One of the other in-repo games I enjoyed in the past and would like to see others pick up is called Antares, it's the source release of an ancient 1994-or-so Apple game called Ares that nobody played.
It's pretty surprising how expansive the OpenSUSE gaming repos really are.
If reliable multiplayer communities or large modder communities existed for them then 0AD and Unvanquished take their spot in the sun too.

Isn't linux gaming just PC gaming with less options?

I'm testing Witchfire (Unreal Engine game) through Wine but I'm getting much lower fps than in Windows. In Windows I can play 1440p on Ultra settings. Do you think there is a way to fix it?

>>60920Valve is pushing hard to make Linux gaming a thing. It never was a thing and gaming on Linux was a hit or miss. Either you managed to get the game running through Wine or you gave up because even the most modern graphics card doesn't have good driver support on Linux. It did have a nice community of opensource software. You could download and play Linux games for free, and even modify and rerelease them at your leisure. id largely lead this by opensourcing the Quake engine. Even playing the Dark Mod on Linux is amazing. But then indie devs, moble phone developers, and Valve are coming in and making people pay for shitty games that have no guarantee of working or that you will have perpetual access to them after you buy them.

>>61192its an abstraction, a program that originally was designed to get around the limitations of the bios, loads the boot disk which can then begin the operation system initialization.
in the pre bios days the bootloader was just a simple convention for where the machine would look and begin loading from there, this had portability and reliability issues. i am unsure if its still necessary now that we live in a world with wide spread UEFI

>>60921Seems like it's not even fully released yet, so probably will get some proton fixes in the future.
>>61056Linux already runs many games better than Windows through proton these days and NVK Nvidia driver is looking very promising already, AMD drivers are already better on Linux. Lots of games that get reported for having issues have issues with deck and not desktop, or it's zoomer crap you shouldn't be playing either way.

>>61220>runs nativelycould you briefly sumarize what that means on linux please? if something isn't in my package manager and it is not in the AUR (which i also install via package manager) then it better be an .appimage file because other than that i wouldn't know what that means yet and how to install it.

>>61526Running natively means it doesn't need wine or dxvk, or some other translation layer.
From.what I remebed native games usually come in a folder with an executable, similarly to how portable window applications are.

I switched to linux specifically to play games, you have options now so you can ditch windows.
You have Bazzite if you're not technical
And there's CachyOS and Nobara Linux
I use Nobara because I found out about it before CachyOS
As of right now most games play great thanks to proton and bottles, whatever doesn't I just add as a non steam game and try again, it's how I got FF7 rebirth to work.
Currently playing:
KCD 2 no problems.
Stalker 2 did not run as I hoped so Ill wait a bit and try and figure out what combination of settings can help me run it better.
Even Res Evil 9 ran great.

>>63514If you can only play 15+ year old games on Linux, then why not just use an old version of Windows to play those old games and not deal with all the hoops and compatibility workarounds? It seems that to pirate Windows 7 and install a pirated game from a mounted ISO has fewer steps to follow than just getting many games to run on an already installed Linux distro. The performance, accuracy, and stability is most definitely going to be more stable on that Windows machine too.

is linux gaming even a thing anymore? I can literally play everything without issue. The only stuff you can't play are the rootkit cheat prevention games that you shouldn't be playing anyway.
Recently I've been playing a bunch of the 2000s nihon falcom games like Xanadu Next. Really love it

The only workaround I've ever needed to do was like go on proton db and run whatever console command they have listed (on really weird/old games). It's shockingly painless even when I'm using an nvidia gpu now. Using cachy os, I literally did 0 manual setup for nvidia gpu and didn't install any drivers it just all automatically worked.
