Ok, I recently installed cachyos as I was told that it's best distro for gaming. And I have completly no idea how to connect my two xbox series controllers via official xbox dongle. Evewhere I find instructions it sais it just should work, and other instructions are for other distros and it doesn't help my case. Anyone can help?
I use bazzite for gaming and its been an amazing experience so far . It already comes with lutris and winetricks pre-installed. And as for discord screen recording issue yea that's a bit of a hassle. But overall amazing experience of gaming in Linux. Love it 😊
Gotta say, for the two years Linux improved a lot when it comes to gaming. Tried a few distros and aa far as I can remember Fedora was the one I barely had any performance problems. (Currently on Mint 22)
Next big step for me is probably getting a Steamdeck.
Linux users trying to get people to play games on Linux kinda feels like this one anime dude trying to shove that one specific anime with an horrible amount of filler episodes into ones throat
Hello Michael, many thanks for your informative videos. Linux, in my opinion, has lost its horror. Thanks to ChatGPT and other AI language models, anyone with a little understanding of software can now use the terminal. Many thanks and "liebe Grüße"
Nice and informative video content, thanks a lot for that, highly appreciated. Can you generally say whether one should currently lean either towards NVIDIA or rather AMD when it comes to choosing a modern graphics card? Not only in terms of performance, but also concerning things like driver support, technologies like (especially global/driver-controlled) G-Sync/FreeSync, or whether there are special things to consider with global graphics settings for non Linux games? What about ‘old fashioned problems’ like for example screen tearing or freezing and crashing bugs that can occur when you frequently tab back and forth between the desktop and the game itself (I'm specifically using the latter as an example because I remember having massive problems with exactly that back some time using GNOME + NVIDIA, although that was years ago… but bad memories and experiences always got the habit to remain in the back of one's mind). It would also be very interesting to know whether you can use Wayland without any problems in the meantime or whether it can cause any heavy problems. I lately considered switching to Sway Display Manager on my Linux PC… Thanks in advance, keep up with that great content!
One other option to run Windows games using Proton without using Steam is PortProton. I am a big fan of CodeWeaver Crossover, a paid, supported version of Wine, but PortProton is a Chefs Kiss!
"installing software on linux should be preferably done via the package manager or software store" – while I strongly agree with this, I think Steam is special case especially when it comes to Fedora. My personal recommendation is to make sure you are not installing the Flatpak or Snap version of Steam due to certain compatibility issues. Don't get me wrong though I love flatpaks and I recommend them for anything else but from my own personal experience I noticed the native Steam is better.
I just moved to Linux ubuntu from windows 10 because I am tired and bored of seeing same windows over 10 years and wanted to try out new system. But I don't know how to install programs and how to install windows program on Linux i don't know how to install things in correct ways.
I recently moved from Kubuntu to Bazzite on my desktop, and I've been impressed. Bazzite was very easy to install and set up. It's pretty much ready to go for games right OOTB. I feel comfortable recommending it to someone who wants to use Linux, and play games on it; especially if they have a non-Deck handheld PC.
Your my favorite linux youtuber out of the bunch I've seen. I really like how you don't make the user use the terminal, and you explain things so clearly and I learn stuff I didn't even know I wanted. Thanks!
Fedora is really underrated distro, there are things I hate about it, but its stability are unrivaled compared to many distros that I have tested, and their documentation is fantastic. One thing unfortunately is ruining many linux distros is the "proprietary" codecs, while I have nothing against the maintainers, the average user want to play his videos just fine. Nobody cares if a codec has patent or not. Even flatpak packages of mpv, vlc will not ship with these codecs. So it's on the distro maintainers to either care or just make it hard and many users will be frustrated by this. Fedora makes it very easy to reinstall these codecs. On another one hand, opensuse uses different repo, which unfortunately broke my whole system and won't even install on leap. So I just gave up on opensuse even though I think it's the best Linux distro.
Running Nobara 40… rock solid foundation for my gaming/programming rig. I also love the Snaphots feature, this combined with slightly older kernels being saved makes for a very robust system with very little downtime since I can merely boot from a slightly older kernel and delete the damaged one. After a few updates I am back up and running with the latest kernel again. Spectacular! NEVER going back to Windows, ever again.
Great video, need more YouTubers to support Linux and help everyone improve Linux, we are bored of trash Windows and the bad things about Windows, Linux is way better for cheap / old hardwares, keep it up and increase the marketshare, Linux should be easier to use
your silly xwayland bridge is only needed on gnome or other lesser de, kde 6 supports hdr vrr and has backwards support for x oob, if a program is being an arse in wayland you only need the x11 env argument on the application when its ran, really should try kde man, you can make it look exactly like apple if you wish and thats the ONLY reason people ever use gnome
bad move disabling pre caching, its not really noticable unless you run advanced overlays with frametiming graph, the 1% low is much more stable with precaching so leave it on dummy and just tick the background process, overnight a massive library is up to date, hope this helps
Disable Steam shader cache…. but why? this isn't suposed to fix all shader compilation stutter that OTF shader compilation causes? It's really a win win option to leave it on but still I see pretty much everyone saying to disable that… This is so counter intuitive and absolutly no one could ever explain to me why.
every time I install latest nvidia drivers the games quality seems to get worse than before installing any driver after fresh linux install (endeavourOS). I usually get around 30-50 frames in cs2 before driver install and 25-45 frames after install.
Great Video again <3 i use currently ReviOS Windows cause of 2 little things … 1. I'm to stupid to install the RazerCommander for my MMO Mouse Keybindings … 2. NGENUITY is a only Windows Program what is written on Linux but dont have any support for that (idk if bottles can handle it) its the software from my Headset from HyperX … all other things like Gaming etc and style and all the nice things i will change to linux (idk which distro but thats the tiny problem of my self xD)
Only thing keeping me from making the move is ALVR with wireless needs some work with encoding settings and anti-chat with a lot of games, particularly East Anti-cheat.
Thanks for the tip on sharing the screen on Discord. The next problem I encountered with this is that after sharing it looks like I am sharing a black screen. Any tips for this?

Yeah … No, sticking to Windows for gaming.

doesn't fedora have telemetry just like windows
what linux distro do you use?

I hate the way you speak but your videos are great.

Do fitgirl or dodi repacks work on Linux?
I need 2 things to work for me to consider switiching to a Linux Distro.
1. Is HDR or Nvidia RTX HDR supported?
2. Does my Stream Deck+ work?
Why does my ubuntu overheat when I ran a random game that should not be very demanding of resources
Fedora keeps holds me to try another distro because it just works on my machine out of the box, like it..

Could u make a video on the Conky application and how to customize it? Keep up the amazing videos

I use Vesktop instead of Discord. Take a look 🙂

Why did you not cover PortProton 😢 it’s far superior to lutris and bottles while being just as powerful and has a large community
Great Video again <3

Linux ✅️ windows ❌️

great video man! is there a way to get vortex mod manager to work with a game in linux??
Installing linux has one major disadvantage. Pirated games won't run at all(I download pirated games to play demo)
Bro what distro are you using daily ?
