I have Radeon 6900 rx and it games sweet on Linux. I’ve played games on Windows with it too without issue (dual boot).

Generally, AMD is king on Linux, Nvidia is suffering (had drivers updates break OS installs). Nvidia is only really if you want ray tracing or Cuda, and I’ve never needed to.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed is my distro of choice. Up to date kernel. Rolling distro. Stable.

You’re in the UK? Lol

Looks good.

I really like OpenSuse, but the setup and configuration wasn’t easy or straightforward. Manjaro had a superior way to setup partition for example. If they make this process smooth, it would really help folk experience a great OS that just works and is up to date.

<mint just works, y’all jokes>

Beware. The Stalker is somewhat more dangerous and camoflages!

Have fun :)

Maybe I got this wrong, how would you pronounce it?

Depends really. I say it this way, but talked to a Spanish speaker who said it was Lee-bree.

It’s a double edged sword. The channels are bridged across to Matrix, and the poll ran in multiple places, but 90%+ of the player community are on Discord.

Because MineClone2 is a dreadful name, and unfortunately, when ever anyone tries to differ anything slightly, a head can be taken clean off. The project doesn’t want to be a full clone, but heavily inspired by, but with it’s own direction. It needed to go.

Ah, fair enough.

You’re Wuzzy?

It’s highly rated. I personally found it quite difficult and a wee bit too frustrating.

Minetest, and in particular MineClone2. Always someone playing multiplayer also which is quite nice.

Mindustry is good fun also :)

Something up to date with a newer kernel. Wine devs say that’s best to get updates and benefits quicker given how things are changing quickly.

Given that, I’d say Open Suse, Arch or Fedora. I use Open Suse and am very happy with it. Meets my indie gaming needs.

I have no idea. It’s quite subjective.

You can install packages and remove them and it resolves dependencies, just using different commands…

It’s a strategy, it requires planning and thinking. Comparing to FPS is crazy. Pick up gun and shoot.

HoMM3 is quite simple. Get towns and upgrade them. Make monsters. Kill. Most stuff you can learn and figure out as you play. It was the first game of that type I played. I’m not great at it, but that’s more because it’s hard to master, but you can still play a reasonable game.

It’s worth persisting as its one of the best games made and people still play it decades later.

I think WINE recommend an up to date distro due to rapidly changing stuff needing up to date software and kernel. I think Debian wouldn’t be great for that. I’d personally recommend OpenSuse. Rolling, up to date and great with KDE. Good luck.

I would second up to date distros for the same reasons. I think the WINE guys suggested as much. I’d personally go OpenSuse as it’s rolling, up to date, solid and great for KDE.

Thanks for the heads up. Done. :)
