@thecookingsenpai@Titou Yet has to be said, I’ve been using linux for gaming for almost 2 years now, the amount of games you can play now compared to PlayOnLinux era is impressive.
I only run into issues when the game uses windows only anti-cheats, but I don’t have many of those games ( I said goodbye to League now that they are adding Vanguard ), therefor I can play fully on Linux.
All my games run great. I have one annoying issue that I haven’t worked out the root cause of yet. But basically the issue is the computer goes to sleep/black screen whilst I’m playing with a joypad. It obviously thinks the PC is idle. However It doesn’t happen with Stardew Valley so I’m thinking the issue is non-native Linux games. Currently I’m playing Dredge which is Windows only so running via Proton in Steam.
yeah, haha. interestingly, i don’t have this problem, but i’m aware of the issue because i used to some years ago. so maybe it’s only with certain gamepads or something? that’d explain why it hasn’t had more eyes
depending on what kind of games you play.
if you play mostly offline or indie games, you won’t notice any difference.
like half of online/live services games (e.g. League of Legends, Rainbow Six Siege) that include anticheats are borked
Honestly Proton is great but Windows for gaming is still the best of the three main oses

On this i completely agree (although 9 days later)
I’ve yet to find games I can’t play on Linux these days.

do you use KDE? it’s a known, old issue unfortunately. to fix, you can use: “gamemoderun %command%” as a steam launch option for each game, or you can use this as a universal solution: https://github.com/foresto/joystickwake
I do yes! Thanks. I’ll take a look.
edit. Oof. A 10 year old issue.

nah you’re wrong, in term of performances
