What games do you play on Linux?

Right you are Sorro! And I will give another example from the FPS genre. When Cyberpunk came out, I think it was 2020, (yeah I know, those 5 years went by quick!) the game wasn't even playable on any console whatsoever!

But Cyberpunk was rushed out, that they left out a huge chunk, of what was supposed to be on the game map, which didn't show up in game, till an update, a full year later!

Thats another issue with gaming these days, rush out games before their ready. I don't even have any faith that anybody can make a good Star Wars game anymore.

The last good Star Wars game I played, was Star Wars Force Unleashed, thats like 20-years ago! And look what got released last year, Star Wars Outlaws, complete garbage in every possible way.

Also, in regards to performance, consoles have always lagged behind PC's, when it comes to performance hardware. This is because they know full well, if they truly competed with PC's, then their consoles would be selling for 2000 a pop, instead of 500 a pop.

No mom and dad, is gonna pay 2000 dollars to get their kid a gaming console. But they might buy their kid a 2000 dollar computer, as long as their doing good in school and all that.

Consoles are technically a dying breed now, cause none of them know how to make a console that is good, and just keeps being one let down after another.

People are starting to figure out, if you want a machine that can game, that isn't overpaying for garbage, that they should just buy, or learn to build, a gaming PC.

My computer that I bought in 2021, is 4 years old now, and it still mops the ship decks with modern consoles today, and my computer is a notebook too!

When people begin to catch on, that companies that make consoles are fooling them, and don't want to continue to be fooled and taken advantage of, will switch to PC's.

And, with luck, when people realize that Microsoft is taking advantage of them, they will also switch to Linux as well. The last console I owned, was an Xbox360, and I am happy I didn't buy anything newer.

Personally, I have been considering moving to pc entirely. I'm not usually very interested in the type of games that usually dominate the AAA scene, so I see no point in upgrading my pc anytime soon, as what usually catches my attention have quite accessible minimum requirements

I want to get a steam deck at some point, but with university I don't really have much time for playing games, so I'm perfectly fine with playing what I already have on the switch and maybe some games on pc, and just getting the steam deck 2 when I'm more free

As for the switch 2, I much prefer the freedom I would get on the steam deck than the walled garden from nintendo. Getting it or not depends on if there are many great first-party titles; but even if I were to get one, 3rd party titles will only come from steam or gog (or epic games in the case of those they give for free weekly)

Dont forget to mention star wars jedi survivor, it ran completely garbage but after one and half year when denovu got removed it ran much better.

I know time is flying, but 2001 and 4 years ? :joy::crazy_face:

Ohhh, this is what I get when I make posts on the board before drinking another cup of coffee. I need at least 4 cups of coffee per day, or I am dragging like I'm in molasses. I need to edit my post, I meant to say 2021!

I just bought Arma 3 on Steam (10 years to late :rofl:) and it plays great on Linux (Zorin 17.2) be aware I got mine for 5.99, they do have it on offer a lot and you do need to make some small tweaks (start on command line) I always use ProtonDB to check for those.

I just finished beating FlyKnight, a great little indie game that takes a few hours to beat. If you want something small that is fairly unique and not long, I can highly recommend it:

Proton also works in Lutris. So games from epic or ea app or gog.com (or any other store) can use the full advantage of proton too.

Doing some Star Wars Bounty Hunter.


That belongs to the best Gaming Graphics I've ever saw! It is the new Unreal Engine 5, isn't it?

Windows 11 is getting behind :joy:

A lot of games this is true for now. I can't compare side by side since I haven't had windows in a long time, but I know even years ago this was true in some titles.

I already noticed it with Star Wars Jedi Survivor. In windows when i used the galaxy map in the tempest the game whas stuttering and losing alot of fps. In linux the galaxy map on the same spot whas just opening as it should, no stuttering or fps drops. Some other games i played i did notice the fps whas a bit higher too.

I love to see how windows fails in every way.
