Linux Gaming Thread

Modded Skyrim SE.

I don't even get paid to do it

Also this. Skyrim works, but if I alt-tab out of skyrim I get a black screen when I get back. No task manager means I have to restart my computer everytime. Kinda sucks, but I'm still happy to move on now that Nanami is dead

linux is a kernel

use htop mang

Black screen in the game or entirely? If the latter know you have ttys available, usually on Ctrl+Alt+F#. Htop like another user said or autism with ps and pkill.

Restarting over a game shouldn't happen.

Black screen in the fullscreened game only. If I press the w*ndows key it shows the menu.
Not sure if htop will help. Isn't it a terminal command? Last time I tried I couldn't open terminal. Cool there's a better top command though.
I'll read up on ttys. Thanks bros

You can also bind, if not already, a shortcut key to kill whatever application you click on.

Check your desktop environment's default bindings for xkill and use that, or add a binding yourself. When activated the cursor will change to an X and whatever you click on will be terminated.

Will do.
The thing is you can game on linux, but there's jank and you need a bit of fiddling and tweaking to get basic stuff to work.
I'm still sticking to it though.

Linux does many things better than windows but gaming isn't one of them

How? SE loads wrong and i get the error where the cart runs into the wall

I've been having fun reading 2007 documentation to make a shit tf2 server for my buddies.

I play it through Steam with steamplay enabled.
I downloaded greatest eggroll version of Proton, and told steamplay to use it.
For mods skse gave me 0 trouble at all to install, and for i use Lutris for Vortex mod manager.
You can youtube "Skyrim on linux" and see many guides on how to do it.

ex-ubuntufag here. i used ubuntu for years and really liked it for the most part but moved away because of shit game performance and other obnoxious issues i didnt feel like dealing with. since 20.04 is out now, has anyone tried to play anything on it yet? do games run better on ubuntu now? i always read that other distros did gaming better (ease of setup, not dealing with missing packages, performance, etc)

Depends very much on your hardware and what you're playing. For users with AMD cards for instance there's very little downside in D3D10/11 games, and massive upsides for D3D9, OpenGL and Vulkan titles.
Emulators also do much better for users of AMD cards under GNU/Linux due to the fact that they're still mostly using OpenGL which can be 50% faster with RadeonSI compared to the Windows driver.

I've used Ubuntu for years and haven't had enough problems to really make me think about switching. Usually wait till at least the first point release to upgrade.

Jesus Christ. I hope this works.

sythetik, rimworld, and starcraft 2.

nice, didn't know that. thanks mang

I don't think there's anything about ubuntu that makes it inherently worse than other distros in terms of game performance.
If you're referring to outdated GPU drivers, then that's still the same due to the release model, and if you're referring to the desktop itself causing worse performance, just use something else than gnome.

Aaaand it works. Nice. Might play some tonight. It's too bad I watched a speedrun of the game. It's not fresh in my mind, but I know a lot of the game won't be new to me. Should've watched a speedrun of the second game instead.

There could be a day where linux is as good as a gaming platform as windows, and maybe that day PC gaming will see the same faggotry as console gaming.

Tough times ahead.
