I don’t know what this means but I couldn’t get any shit to run on Ubuntu as recent as two days ago.
Pitch it to me, I don’t know shit about fuck. I only use Ubuntu because I have for years.
Not the person you’re replying to, and I don’t have personal experience with Bazzite but, essentially, it is gaming oriented distribution built on fedora.
It has a lot of stuff built in to help it run games well, including the right graphics drivers. Fedora is one of the major Linux distributions along side Arch, Debian (which Ubuntu is derived from), and others.
There are a few other distributions that do much of the same regarding graphic card drivers, but built on one of the other major distributions. For instance PoP_OS! (Based on Ubuntu and thus Debian).
So bazzite is good for running games, that’s what it is built to do, but other distros do that as well, it depends what flavor of Linux you want it to be built on.
If your using steam, you can go into game properties and set Proton as the compatibility tool. Depending on the age of the game, you might have to switch versions of Proton.
You can use https://www.protondb.com/ to check the compatibility issues and suggested versions by the community for specific games too.
Are you using steam and proton, or Lutris and wine? I’d suggest trying the other if one isn’t working. That’s helped me in the past
I was trying both, everything was just really bad frame rates and stuttering, and a few things wouldn’t run after installing specifically Linux marked games on Steam. Back on Win10 everything is running like butter.
I’d guess your graphics drivers are the issue in that case. Sounds like it was probably kicking all the games over to the integrated GPU.
Just so you know, you’re commenting in a Beehaw community, and we expect that people be(e) nice here. Being gatekeepy isn’t nice.
Ah, the dichotomy of Linux users:
“wHy DoEsN’t EvErYbOdY uSe LiNuX???”
and
“gEt On My LeVeL nOoB”
If setting a simple setting is too much for you, which is also a 5 second search away if you’re struggling that hard, then yeah, Linux is too much for you. But so is Windows.
And around 70% of all online players are on those missing 2% :D
Basically all the popular multiplayer games, meanwhile Linux gets the scraps.
No, just the competitive ones. I’ve played plenty of multiplayer games on Linux without issues.
Yeah, quantity over quality right here. If my favourite game doesn’t run on Linux, Linux is dead to me. Even if I had 5 favourite games and 1 doesn’t work, it’s still dead.
So for a lot of people it’s either 100% or it might as well not exist.
I mean we have tons of anticheat games working on Linux. More than people realize. Elden Ring, The Finals, Overwatch 2, CS2, Apex Legends, xDefiant and more that I can’t remember right now. It’s not that bad even as a multiplayer gamer. The ones that don’t work R6S, Val, LoL, Fortnite, CoD and Destiny pretty much.
These metrics mean nothing to me
Proton is steam’s compatibility tool, these “medals” basically indicate how well a game works through it. Platnium and gold mean work without troubleshooting. Silver means a little tinkering with settings. Bronze means it can work with effort, and borked means it just doesn’t work.
So, 84% working with 0 effort, and 11% working with light tinkering.
The post is kind of incomprehensible if you’re not already familiar with proton and the troubleshooting website proton DB.
It’s also not a great metric if you don’t know what games the dude regularly buys especially if they’re already a*nix user
i mean, basically everything works so long as it doesn’t use certain anti cheat systems. But knowing what they play would have been more useful for the sake of discussion.
Context: https://www.protondb.com/
It’s a pitty that popular games like Call of Duty does not provide anticheat support for Linux.
Even worse now that Microsoft bought it.
