  1. This is game studios need to use Vulkan and make their own engine instead of using Unreal/Unity or DX. Proprietary game engines have too much dependencies on Windows system most of them unnecessary bloat.

  2. Install the mod to add dlssfsrxess. This will increase FPS. I know how to make it work through Lutris in Linux (the Windows version of the game).

  3. I installed Linux Mint on my PC (i5 14600k, RTX 4080, 16GB Ram DDR4 3000) and in Elden Ring specially I had a MUCH better experience compared to Windows 10. On Windows the game would stutter every 20 minutes or so, very hard hiccups, very annoying. I tried every solution under the sun, nothing solved. On Linux the game runs butter smooth, zero stutters. Same thing for Tomb Raider Remastered, got some very annoying stutters on Windows 10, butter smooth on Linux. And I didn't have to install anything besides the GPU drivers and Steam. Didn't have to open the dreaded terminal, didn't have to type a single command line (which was one of my biggest fears when switching to Linux, lol). Everything just works. I'm very impressed on the current state of Linux gaming. I'll keep the dual boot since I still need Windows for work, but as for personal use and gaming Linux is my new home.

    However, it must be said, I had one problem with one game, Megadimension Neptunia VII. Some people managed to make it work, but I'm not well versed on Linux enough to understand what they did to fix it, so it's one game I won't be playing on Linux anytime soon. For everything else I tested, they all worked perfectly.

  4. I am in the process (despite being a mere beginner with Linux) to moving my gaming over to Linux exclusively. I have 3.5tb in my Steam library, could care less about anything with anti-cheat or anything like that (I don't play COD, Battlefield, MMO's, Fortnite, etc etc etc, just Final Fantasy, Skyrim, Doom2016 and old Doom, Wolfenstein, GTA, emulators, etc). So far, nearly everything I have tried in Steam (even getting Ubisoft games like Farcry running as they need that damn Ubisoft Connect nonsense which I downloaded in Lutris), they run better than they do on my beefy Windows 10 gaming PC (GTX1080ti on that system, Ryzen 7 and 64gb RAM from 4tb NVME drive). Bought an RX7900XTX and 4tb Sata SSD (on older 6th generation quad core i7 with 64gb of ram). My Linux gaming PC is a beast and I love it…using Mint, eventually want to more go towards Arch, Manjaro, something like that where I can swap out desktop environments. I am loving Linux despite how frustrating it can be at times when issues come up. Command line is really cool! Linux (for me) runs so well with my Steam library, I want a T-shirt with Tux on it, grabbing his crotch and flipping the bird saying "Hey Microsoft…DEEZ NUTS!!!" lol…

  5. I installed Mint OS and running it on a a 1060 GTX 6GB of VRAM getting 60 fps in RDR2 sp without V-Sync and with low to medium settings. Looks good tho for me at 1080p.
    And at ultra preset settings gave me 30fps no less than 28 and no more than 40fps. But it force when I tried to apply settings again, so be a little careful.
    I love this! I am going to have one pc for windows and another for this OS. It works and runs this game like nothing. It runs rdr2 better on linux than windows pretty much or the same.

  6. And once again, we see the Linux community distro hop from one to another because the one distro they were on does not do what they want it to do. We see this all the time with all of those that are constantly telling us just how good Linux is time and time again. It is hard enough for a new person to spend the time learning one of the base Linux distribution "languages" (such as how to update ect in terminal) and then have to switch to another because the Linux they picked does not work for the task they wanted it for.

  7. Id like to switch to linux but im not so tech guy. Wonder about Mint, Solus and Regata to use on Lenovo Ideapad 3 Gaming – 5600H/1650/16gb/512gb nvme+1tb nvme. Maybe dual boot with win10ltsc? Any recomendations?

  8. To me it looks much better on windows but maybe its just me. But I want linux to be the better one as I don't really like Microsoft and there monopoly on pc. Just my honest opinion.

  9. Tips for anyone wanting to play on Linux: always use the latest (stable) kernel available, each update the kernel gets more optimized in various ways, making your gaming and general use better. If you have time (and want to) try different distros, see what distro gets more approvement and what distro the gamers use, if you don't know which one try, go with the top ones: Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, are the main ones. And the last simple, is simply patience. I mean, gaming on Linux is quite new and maybe some games might not work, but it's getting improved in a impressive way

  10. Doom Eternal runs much better on Ubuntu here, Windows gets CPU single core bottle necked when loading a new area's where Ubuntu utilizes the cores better.
