Some people have asked about mods. Here are a few mod managers for Linux.
Mod Organizer 2: github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer
NexusMods App: github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App#readme
Also it looks like it's possible to run Vortex but it's difficult: github.com/snoazll/VortexOnLinuxGuide
I believe they're working on a Linux version but it's not out yet.
Also when I made this video I didn't need to manually install the dependencies for Heroic Games, the .deb file took care of dependencies. But in some cases you might need to manually install the dependencies first. I showed how to do this in the Lutris section of the video.
thanks for making this vid, I use lutris and its amazing!
Yes Lutris is quite awesome, thanks for the feedback!
Thank you so much for this video! Fixed my lutris problem!
You da best. I am interested in a Bottles video!
Thank you.
Just found your channel and really enjoy it.
I would love to see a video about overclocking GPU's and setting fan curves
Glad you enjoy it! Good news I've already made the overclock video: th-cam.com/video/iUhht9sfG_4/w-d-xo.html
@@PhazerTech Fantastic thank you so much!
Great video, man, appreciate that. Could you make one about overclocking and fan curves please!
Thanks! Yea it's on my to-do list so I'll probably get around to it in a few weeks.
Here's the video! th-cam.com/video/iUhht9sfG_4/w-d-xo.html
@@PhazerTech Thanks a lot!
I'm bingeing your videos (and just subbed). Immensely grateful for this, the whole topic has been looming higher ever since Win10 is approaching its end and Win11 is such a sh*tshow. One major game that weighs massively on my mind is MS Flightsim. It's not just the app itself, with its hefty performance requirements, but the plethors of mods and external yet integrated apps, for moving maps, ATC, navigation, all the way to the controls, yokes, pedals, etc. I've started looking but it does seem there's still a number of issues.
Thanks that's great to hear you're enjoying the videos! I don't play MS Flightsim but from what I can tell it works, but custom mods might be an issue. Generally speaking mods work on Linux but not all of them, and this might be one of those cases where it doesn't. The last comment in this Reddit thread might be useful: www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/18hiuv3/state_of_microsoft_flight_simulator_on_linux_steam/
@@PhazerTech thanks for that. my concerns also go to custom instruments, generally connected via Arduinos. you'd *think* Arduino would play perfectly nice with "actual" Linux. I've been checking aviation sites, where there's many simmers with some insane setups, and it is a bit of a minefield. Ideally I'd have one dedicated sim machine anyway - which yes, would have to run Windows, but only for one, single purpose. They can spy on my flightplans as much as they like.
@@michaelhoffmann2891 Yea it looks like it might be easier just to stick to Windows for that game. But that's really cool how you can add custom instruments based around Arduinos! I'm planning to do more videos on MCUs at some point, although I'm probably going to focus more on the RPi Pico and PIC MCUs rather than Arduino.
7:58 i love how u said "if u still play league of legends" 😂
Some games never get old.. League isn't one of them 🙂
I thought the same thing. Shade totally deserved, though. 😂
very cool, im so tempted, How does this compare size wise vs windows.
Linux uses less disk space than Windows. Give it a shot, you have nothing to lose if you dual boot. I'd install a few games and see how you like it first.
What is your experience with Linux local game streaming? I came across parsec, but most of the guides cover moonlight
It's been really good for me. It's funny you asked this because my very first video on the channel was a review on a $80 laptop and I highlighted how good its performance was in Moonlight. I wasn't aware of Parsec so perhaps I'll give it a try, but like I said, I'm completely happy with how Moonlight performs.
i cant believe this, I spent 4 hrs trying to troubleshoot a game from epic games never working on heroic launcher.. So i ended up uninstalling my current wine, and then installing the latest wine through the launcher and the game finally worked.. I was using arch so maybe there was a problem with the wine aur or something. I was getting all these errors trying to install epic games on lutris as well, what a pain..
Could you make a video on game modding?
I'll add it to the bucket list but it's not an easy topic to cover because different games use different mod managers and the steps to install them can be different. It's a similar story on Windows but even more so on Linux. Some Windows mods will work on Linux, but other mods need Linux specific versions to work. For example if you wanted to mod Bethesda games then you can install the Linux version of Mod Organizer 2: github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer
Personally I haven't tried that yet, but I have successfully modded MGSV and Deus Ex.
Also Nexus Mods is working on a replacement for Vortex and it will have native Linux support, so maybe after that's released I'll do a video on it. www.nexusmods.com/news/14874
How can I run Oblivion and Skyrim offline and without any launchers on Linux mint
Are you talking about installing directly from discs? I'm pretty sure Lutris can do that.
@PhazerTech I can use my phone to download but I need to be able to play offline without any launchers
Op bro 😀!!! Can i play gta 5 also ?
Yes GTA 5 works, but GTA online isn't the best experience. It works but has lower FPS than Windows. Story mode should be good.
Hi! Is there a way we can install android emulator like LDPlayer, MuMu Player on linux?
Waydroid is a good one from what I can tell, but it requires you to run Wayland instead of X11: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Waydroid
@@PhazerTech Thanks! Will review the link provided above mate.
how can we get vortex mod manager to work on linux?
You should check out these options instead.

@@PhazerTech right on thanks! i'll have a looksi.i've always been able to install vortex but when i launch a game through it, the game crashes no matter what i did.
Wanna see the overclocking-tools

How I can play pubg batellgraounds on linux😊
Unfortunately that's one of the few games which is borked on Linux.

Thanks for the reply 🌹
EA doesent work on lutris anymore absolute pain the neck
Probably needs updating. See this post and comments for help: www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1c38n9l/a_little_dance_with_the_ea_app_in_lutris_i_had_to/
