  i second @FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee
  it’s fantastic for like 85% of all games, and good to acceptable for like 10%. the only big issue is games with kernel level anti cheats, which is a big problem for many gamers, mainly AAA and fps lovers.

    Games with kernal anti-cheat should be treated with precisely the level of respect they show to us.

    Ahh what’s what the previous person meant by competitive games.

  It’s fantastic. Unless you’re playing a specific few multiplayer competitive games, it’s just like windows (sometimes even better in terms of performance - and sometimes better in terms of retro compatibility)

      Do note that generally speaking an AMD gpu on Linux vs Windows similarly. You can maybe expect a 1-2 FPS downgrades on average but it really depends on the game.

      On the other hand, NVIDIA gpus have a bit more FPS disadvantage but it’s still not a major drawback I think? Idk how much is the fps difference

        In my experience, Nvidia drivers work just fine. They’re just proprietary, and once in a while they release a faulty driver (which you can just roll back ofc). Happened to me a couple of times over the past… 14 years, fuck

        1-2 FPS‽ The horror! faints

        Jokes aside I can more of a difference than that by simply forgetting to close a few tabs of YouTube before starting my games. Or even starting a game when my room is already hot.

        1-2 FPS is basically a rounding error IMO.

  Proton is so good that even when a game has a native Linux version, I often opt for the Proton version (so my games are all in one place). I was even able to install mods for games like Baldur’s Gate 3 (albeit with a bit of tinkering)

    When I installed the Linux version of “7 days to die” the graphics were washed out and bad. I switched to the Linux version with proton and it fixed the game.

      7D2D is one of my all time sandbox open world zombie games. I loved HUGE modded cities to explore. Their dungeon system that came out a few versions ago is fucking awesome. The pois are amazing, even when they are just a basic farm house.

      • Retro_unlimited@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Yes the game is awesome, I have played almost 700 hours so far. Offline and online, I ran a few servers too, lots of fun playing with others.

        My wife and I started a new playthrough yesterday.

        It’s things like this that make me think I’m the main character in a simulation.

        Start playing 7D2D again amd then immediately stumble across it being talked about randomly on lemmy haha

      Yeah, it’s the consistency of it that’s so impressive.

  Been playing for years on a nearly daily basis, from Baldur’s Gate 3 to Elden Ring to now Clair Obscur… to VR with e.g. Half-life : Alyx. That’s on my desktop and often also on my Steam Deck. So… yes, Proton is very VERY good for games!

    Clair Obscur is running more smoothly for me on Linux than Windows. That doesn’t always happen, but it’s always satisfying when it does.
