Alexander. Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I have a Linux operating system as well as a Microsoft Windows OS. Does anyone here have any good games in mind to play on linux? I'm needing suggestions, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceExplorer Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Why play something on Linux when you can do it on Windows anyway? You're dual booting, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Ok dumbass question time. What's the actual difference between Linux and DOS? I haven't messed with that kind of stuff since windows 98 was the hot new thing, and never with Linux. I don't know anything about it, yet I see people talking about it all over the forum.

skyfire Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I think stadia will be available on linux too. As it only makes use of the chrome engine. So the games are going to be basically web based from what I have heard. So yes the linux gaming days are coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 GoG has a huge Linux support. The only way to get the situation even better is to vote with your wallet. Buy games under linux and play them under linux to make the stats matter gor devs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you can find good games from the companies then Linux can be a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Steam supports linux along with bunch of popular games such as CS:GO, what's surprising is that games on Linux performs way better than they do in Windows, but the issues is that there are only few ones to exist for the platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 RAM usage shouldn't be a concern either way if you're using a modern standard amount such as 8GB or more. FreeSync isn't supported on Linux yet unfortunately, but will be eventually apparently in some undefined amount of time. Fortunately modern AMD cards like the RX 580 are among the best supported on Linux currently. Performance should be about the same on any modern distro, though expect it to be less than running games on Windows in a lot of cases. As for games that are best, it's highly subjective, but in terms of performance, Dota 2 runs quite well in my experience. To my knowledge, DX12 isn't the best yet. You can probably get it running in DX11. Will it stutter? Maybe? In general I'd advise against having too higher expectations for Wine performance. Things can also be a bit of a headache to get running in Wine too sometimes. Better to think of it as a bonus to tinker with rather than relying on it as a core part of using Linux.

skyfire Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Linux handles RAM and disk management way better than Apple and Windows. The only concern being a lot of users on Linux are non payers for the games. And that shows from developer interest too. Other than that humble bundle has plenty of regular updates on linux based games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 There are more and more games adding Linux support, so it definitely is getting better attention and might be the way to go moving forward like Windows is for PC games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Yeah, Linux is becoming an option for gamers. And, for those games not yet supported, people have found workarounds that can get them to work. I forget the site, but there is a site that makes it possible to play some non-linux supported games. And of course, you can try wine or playOnLinux. I mostly game on Windows, but Linux is becoming more and more of a viable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 A lot of games from the humblebundle and the itch works on the Linux with native support. So there is often no need for the emulator either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
