It definitely works if you are willing to tinker but we are a low priority and anything that breaks takes a long time to fix. There’s even another project called Envision which runs better than SteamVR but isn’t as easy to use yet.

Yeah that’s the one it’s quite easy to set up and test. I haven’t had any issues like that so definitely give it a shot.

Glad to hear! You can add on top of that https://github.com/galister/wlx-overlay-s to be able to control your desktop among other things.

Check out Envision which uses Monado to replace SteamVR. It’s a lot smoother for me but requires some extra setup.

I did a quick test with the latest Proton when it came out and everything look fine.

I wonder what they fixed for Helldivers 2. All the bugs I’ve experienced happen to Windows users too.

There is no advantage to games and average applications preferring Wayland over X11 – only severe performance and unusability regressions right now. Thus, we must revert this change until fifo-v1 and commit-timing-v1 are released and at least in a stable release for major compositors."

Does this mean I’ve been getting reduced performance for using Wayland when playing games? I haven’t noticed any difference but I haven’t been benchmarking.

Yes it is preserved.

Not sure about this specific issue but whenever I had issues with EA games in the past I would nuke the compatdata for the game and that usually fixed it. Make sure to back up your save file if you do that.

I’ve only seen a bunch of rumors about the firing but nothing concrete since the board hasn’t given an explanation. So yeah it could be that money wins or it could be something else entirely.

I doubt that Microsoft would’ve hired him if he had strong allegations of wrongdoing.

Your Windows and Linux partition can share drives for games if you want to save space. You may run into permission issues sometimes but they’re easy to solve.

The Linux partition can even load games from Windows OS partition.

I agree with you if a game has 0 micro transactions then that’s the one that I want to play but sadly some of the most popular multiplayer games are riddled with them already.

On these games you’re already able to buy a shiny gun or a skin for ~$25 and if that’s not going away I would at least prefer to be able to trade or sell the items.

I’m merely saying that if you earn a shiny skin for X game then you would be able to sell it to someone else that wants to use it on that game. The Steam Community Market already does this except it’s not called NFTs there.

Game collectibles as NFTs. I thought being able to trade/buy/sell a game skin for example sounded like a cool idea since it would allow users to trade freely without the game company having full control of the collectibles. The idea was massively hated and I’m not sure how something like Overwatch 2 is preferable when people that want to get skins need to buy a battle pass to grind or pay for an overpriced skin where 100% of the profits end up with the game company.

Apollo stopped working and Voyager scratches that itch.

Yeah I remember having permission issues that were easily fixed with chown but they were hard to notice. I haven’t booted to Windows in over a year now so I must’ve forgotten lol.

It’s been a while since I switched to btrfs but I do remember the permissions being an issue with NTFS. It was quite annoying because Steam wouldn’t trigger an error so it was hard to debug when the game never opened.

I switched to BTRFS and used a Windows plugin that allows it to read/write to it. It solved all my NTFS and EXFAT issues and works great.

Worked great for me on Arch when installed via this Lutris link. Whenever Riot breaks something someone will figure it out and update the scripts then you just need to reinstall. Good luck!

I’ve heard good things about Nobara, a Fedora distribution focused on gaming. I use EndeavorOS which is basically Arch and haven’t encountered any major issues.
