I switched to Linux today from windows and that was the best decision I have made ❤
What are Ur pc specs?
Heroic Game Launcher is AWESOME!
I haven't set it up on Linux yet, but on MacOS it works well.
I attempted to use Bottles when it was first released, but I wasn't having much luck with it; I'll have to check it out again. Doing a Fresh Debian 12 Install this Morning.
Thanks for the Walkthru!
Bottles is AWESOME so I donate a small amount to them every month but I use/purchase Crossover because of all the work the CodeWeavers do to Wine. I pretty much exclusively use Steam so I don't really need to work around non-steam games.
Thank you for donating to Bottles!
Man you never fail to entertain, and educate us, i installed most of these already though lmao
I prefer Heroic for game launcher/library. With Lutris as backup, though mainly just for emulator games. Bottles for me is mainly for running a game quickly with from file manager, and for managing wine prefixes. Also, Lutris worked great for me from Flatpak. Plus, some of the complicated wineprefixes for running visual novels just cannot be done on Bottles, unfortunately.
I'm also using Heroic. I absolutely love it!
Heroic launcher is best 🔥
I can't run certain games for example Fortnite on the Heroic launcher because the anticheat system blocks access to the game, do you have a solution please
@@ali_67_ No. Nothing anyone can do about anticheats. Even GPU Pass-through VMs often aren't enough. Dual-boot is the only workaround.
@@ali_67_ How does lutris works in this case 🤔?
Thank you you MR Michael And Happy New year
FYI: The Finals has worked with Proton for a few weeks now.
Yeah Lutris always shits the bed on me too. It's odd that it was, at one point in time, the most recommended package for people trying to play a game or two on Linux. It's a lot easier to just set up an environment with Bottles like you've shown in the video. Good stuff.
Michael, all I can say is wow I love Linux! And your videos are entertaining and educational to me!
This was really good .. thank you
Now I know what esync and fsync are, as well how these latency thingy works.
Thanks!
Informative video. I am using Fusion 360 under Ultramarine Linux with Bottles at the moment. Works fine 🙂
Lutris is my go to atm. Tried to play Epic Games GTA V on Heroic launcher but the horrible audio static like bug forced me to try Lutris and it is much better over there with the same performance as Heroic. Never had a good time with Bottles before. It has always been Steam and Lutris on Linux for me.
Bottles are essentially containers for wine...
Kind of. The actual term for Wine would be Prefixes, though it's really just a different directory being used.
@@MichaelNROH woosh
the tux u use is really awesome :)
With both wine, bottles, and others... does it matter the order of installation in conjunction with steam? And when you install does it matter if wine, bottles, etc are open or not? I'm somewhat new to Linux.
I'm curious if this will work with iLok to handle DRM for audio plugins.
So with this, would i be able to play the games on my steam library as i have 300+ some are older games like gtr2 and newer like Asm2 , its all that stops me leaving windows and there windows bloat.
Lutris seemed easier at first, but now I install games using Bottles. You start with more of a blank slate but it's easier to understand what you are doing with it; less automation means you can solve problems when they arise.
Running all Dead Space and Crysis franchises here on Bottles.
Running smooth as runs on Windoze here (Arch Linux).
I honestly like Lutris's UI more, but I've had MUCH better luck getting some more unusual programs running in Bottles thanks to the isolation
totally agree. i get way more done with bottles, but lutris looks like an actual launcher
lutris is omre user friuendly when youget the hang of it compared to bottles
Awesome
It's very coincidence that I just started using bottles and you upload this video
Bottles is good though
I've always had good luck with Bottles over the last year or so... Lutris seems over complex and felt like I was always fighting it.
Great video as always, Michael. One question: I saw your monitor arm, mine is kind of broken and I want to buy a new one. Can you tell me what you're using and if it's ok? Thank you!
My arm is from a company called "HUANUO" and I got it from Amazon. Had no problems with it for 3 years now
If/when you figure out a way to play Destiny 2 without the possibility of being banned on Linux, please make a video about it. Thanks for all the hard work you do!
As long as there is no official support from Bungie, I'm afraid its not gonna happen.
Even if an exploit would be found, a video would press on the gas pedal to it being fixed.
Even Valorant was once playable with an exploit. I think the patch corrected this after two weeks or so
If there's any chance you know how to mod games in a semi-easy way on Linux I could use a video on that. Since most of these programs create their own separate directories I have not had a lot of luck, especially since Vortex is pretty much unusable on Linux as of writing.
OK my kingdom for a horse. Does anybody know how to play GP500 from Microprose on Linux or even on Windows??? I have a whole win7 partition in an old computer just to play that game. No other combination works as long as I know...
5:00 hey michael how to use the gamescope mode in bottles, in there there are two resolution settings,full screen/windowed & integr . what to do in the resolutions section
i used flatpak bottles. so i had to install gamescope in flatpak. with flatpak install gamescope. select the freedesktop one.
if you used native bottles. install the native one.
Just think of gamescope as selectively rendering and streaming from one part of one game to another window.
So. the first resolution will be the game resolution. I tried running roadrash which runs at 640*480 so the first res was that.
Second resolution is what you want it to be scaled to. i wanted it to be fullscreen @1920*1080 so thats what i chose.
Integer scaling just duplicates the color as it is and scales it up. If it is off, it tries to estimate and scale the image.
A general rule of thumb is to use integer scaling only in pixel art games.
Though currently it seems broken for me. so keep it off.
@@harrypotter1287 thanks for the info (I use flatpak as well), lastly at the bottom there were two toggles windowed & full-screen should these be set to full-screen
@@Uchiha_Madara1224 sure that works. It didnt work with mine tho. I just manually go Fullscreen
If this works for Tarkov, oh baby I gotta test on my steam deck.
Does this work for destiny 2?
In theory this should allow you to run games that even modern Windows have trouble with. The main reason is because it allows you to fabricate your own Windows environment environment and manipulate variables. In Windows, you only have "compatibility mode" which doesn't work very well....with that said, I still can't get the retail DVD version of Bioshock (2007) to work. If anyone here knows how, let me know. There was a method for getting it to work in Windows 10/11 but it's not working anymore. Probably a Windows update broke it.
i would like to run autodesk software on linux, the only reason for me stil being on windows
Can it run android emulator such as Ldplayer?
Where you got those amazing wallpaper? 😉 link? 😉
And thx for your videos you helpt and inspired me to use my Linux more and more as main system also for Gaming 😉👍🏻
I downloaded it via KDE Discover and saved it. I mentioned it's name in my Customization video a couple weeks back
Heroic = Amazon/Epic games
Steam has a native client
as for rockstar games launcher linux users have to use wine in order to acsess their games which is a shame
thanks Michael did thinks about my ide of reviewing steam os based distro ?
I don't generally like reviewing distros, as it's basically 90% or more just Desktop Environments and their current version.
Most aren't really interested in in-depth technical reviews.
I already did make a video about HOLO ISO, but nothing changed yet in terms of compatibility, so once that's resolved, there probably won't be much related to Steam OS or based off it
@@MichaelNROH I heard about one based on fedora called bazzite this is why I thought it was worth the shot having said that I understand your Opinion
i like the word not yet in that most launchers aren't Linux ready. it's more like out of all the launchers there's gonna start being a big market to never release a Linux build.
there is always "Disklike" spelling mistake in the outro lol
What the heck, I have been using that template for months at this point 😳
I have already switched to Linux to try to play my games but each time I encounter too many problems which make me go back to Windows.
Is it really true that games on Linux work as well now as on Windows?
Can you help me find out how to play under Ubuntu in the best way? I'm French, sorry for the spelling mistakes! Thank you .
"Most" games work on Linux yes. Performance is also mostly on par. Some run worse, some run even better.
Just install Steam, enable Proton (SteamPlay) in the settings, or install a program like Bottles in the video.
Games with Anti-Cheats might be a problem however. Many have enabled support, but some publishers simply refuse (like EA with their new one)
Is this a video with "older" b-rol or not? Since I see you are on the gnome workflow here?
Some is, but a lot is new.
I'm currently investigating something between KDE Plasma and Gnome which I believe I discovered, so I have both installed.
Whenever that't the case, then I like to choose Gnome for the video, since it's used by a lot more people.
Does it work with Battle-Eye? From what I've heard before Rainbow 6 Siege didn't run on Linux using Proton because of Battle-Eye.
Not technically accurate. It doesn't work on Linux because Ubisoft doesn't enable support.
Battle Eye for this game works fine on Linux, the only thing that they need to do is hit the switch. Quite literally
@@MichaelNROH Sounds like Ubisoft honestly.
When I tried installing apps through bottles, I got scaling issues. Gnome was scaled at 150% on 4K And all icons were small.
Scaling issues are still very unusual since I'm not aware that this would be exluded from the Sandbox.
I also use the Bottles Flatpak, but mine scales fine at 100%, even though the default would be 150 on 1440p.
As you have shown fusion 360 (yeah I am an engineer as much as I like to play, I also want to run other apps, in this case fusion it is)
So fusion runs fine but before everything we have to login with our autodesk account, I can login but after successfully logging into the account, my browser simply cannot find any app to handle that request, (as autodesk is trying to find an autodesk software)...
If anyone is aware how to solve this issue, please hit me up !! Whether I have to install certain dependencies or anything more.
Help would be much appreciated,
Thank you for your kindness good sir.
Have a nice day all.😊
I think Glorious Eggroll said it many times that the GE-Proton is made only for steam games and the other cases are not supported.
Officially.
He doesn't test it on non-Steam games, so he is not considering breakages outside of it.
However, that is rarely the case, since he basically just improves Proton, which by itself is just a bunch of libraries that are tested in such cases
wich distro is this in the video?
In this one it's Fedora 39, as I'm currently investigating something
Does fusion 360 fully work with bottles? I hadn't tried because I didnt think the login screen would work.
I hope so. I chose to use it, because it's already available inside Bottles and I literally couldn't think of an example
Someone else commented using it with Bottles on Ultramarine Linux and it works fine.
I saw fusion 360 does it actually work and if it does can you tell me how you did it, please? It's the only thing that keeps me from switching to linux
I can't verify as I don't have an account there. It's offered inside Bottles, so there is a maintainer.
It's probably best to verify this with some actual users. There should be some
what do you mean by "IF you installed it as flatpak"?
Bottles can be installed in several ways. You can download a distro native version if someone maintains it, you can download the flatpak or even compile it from source.
There are different permissions granted to Bottles, depending how you installed it
can this run those game guard like EAC ?, can u try GBO2 ?
Yes it can.
At this point, I only use my Windows machine for gaming but even for this, I wanna faze it out. I won't be making the jump to Windows 11, and in the last case scenario, I plan to only Virtualize Windows if needed, never to install it on bare metal again, I'm just done with it, they have gone one way and I another, I'm not their target anymore and there's that. So It's great that we have Linux as an alternative.
Cant I have different runners for different programs in a bottle?
The bottle is technically the Wine Prefix or runner, so no. Each Bottle has its own environment
Good night
Does this work for gamepass PC?
Not the application unfortunately.
Gamepass is a bit tricky, since its not just an exe running, but it utilizes UWP (or whatever its called), which is not Wine compatible as it integrates with the Microsoft store and Account.
Valve has been trying to get Microsoft Gamepass to Steam like EA Play, but Microsoft seems to be a bit against it.
I don't think its because of Linux, since they are quite open minded in their gaming business, but rather being on Steam on Windows, rather than their own app.
what distro do you used?
@MichaelDustter nice, thx
@MichaelDustter btw which DE did he used?
Can I install valorant on Linux I heared because of its anticheat its hard, but I want to know is it posible?
No.
Valorant uses a custom made Windows Kernel Anti Cheat that was exlusively developed for it.
Without it, the Game runs just fine as some old exploits back in 2020 have shown, but unfortunately it doesn't seem that Riot would consider anything besides Windows for now.
It's also something that many Linux users don't want, as it would run with the highest privileges on your system which could basically see everything you do
@@MichaelNROH uh god I don't want a Chinese company runs with the highest privileges in my system, I play author games, thank you for clearfying
Is there any linux game that you cannot run on windows?
Funny enough, some old DOS games, but generally speaking nothing popular.
I have heard of old Windows games that doesn't run easily on Windows, just runs on Linux.
Really thinks for information i didn't know that program excited
I can't get Origin to work, so i can't play command and conquer :(
Origin has been entirely deprecated by EA it seems. The new EA Gaming App works though
@@MichaelNROH Not with command and conquer generals, the game keeps asking for admin permissions and won't launch
how do I use cracked games?
@MichaelDustter thank you
bottles doesn't work properly for me. maybe because I install it thru pacman and not flatpak. maybe i'll give it a try someday.
Depends on the maintainer I guess.
I feel like Bottles has improved a lot in the past year
no arm64?😭
Does this work for photoshop?
a not vey legal version of it?👀
It would technically work for the real thing as well. New releases tend to break sometimes, but it is often being fixed within a couple of months.
@@MichaelNROH that's great
Man new to linux. And its tough. Heroic wont launch any games and lutris wont even open.
Thanks for the video still
How to play valorant on linux? This is the only game I play on pc. I am unable to switch to linux fully because of this.
Not possible due to having kernel level AC.
Bottles and WINE could be more aggressive with their marketing and trying to get even more software supported for Linux
I don't really think that's in their interest. Wine is just a compatibility tool that comes as a convinence, rather than something reliable.
If they were doing marketing for it, then they would put themselves out as a target if core applications break after an update
lutris = makes things works, bottles = makes working things not work
i gave up on bottles used to use it when i was first using pop os around 1 year ago i got my new cumputer and decided to distro hop for the first few weeks i tried running everything trough wine that didnt work at all i tired using bottles but nothing launched untill i started using proton after that every game without kernal level anticheat worked perfectly fine with a few minor inconvinces some games even gave me more poformance than i got on windows
Fortnite from the Epic Game Launcher ?
Installation yes, online play no.
Epic didn't enable Anti Cheat support
if see german text > ask if video_creator is german
vanguard anti cheat is comming to league of legends , in no time it will be imposible to play in linux :(
Unfortunately yes, unless they find another way like private lobbies
0:07 to 0:12 " and of course... walve " wtf is " walve " ?
it's VALVE.... V as in Victory at the beginning. :P
To bad PUBG does not work, no matter what launcher you use… 😢
Anticheat are pretty invasive by design, so makes sense that they are harder to get working as they can't hook into a real Windows OS.
I JUST WANTTO PLAY FORTNITE IN LINUX 😭
@@dreaper5813 no I’m keeping my dual boot

@@dreaper5813 just install on 2 separate disks and windows won't nuke grub.
My God.
So much fiddling around just to maybe be able to run a game?
Sorry but no thanks.
Linux is for lowend gamer, if you want quality like all new Features from nvidia, only windows is the way. Nvidia, HDR, VRR, RTX HDR, DLSS Rayreconstruction, Framegeneratin, GPU undervolting or OC, all together you dont get it at once in linux. Even in 2030 you wont get. The communtity is big on linux but they dont put the efford together. Also to much distros, then not equal kernel version, moddified kernels.... Wayland, x11 or much more, whats the right to choose. Noway, stay away as a gamer from linux if you want quality gaming. And think about, over 80% own nvidia cards! If nvidia dont make the step to linux, linux will never be No. 1 for gaming / desktop. Truth prove: over 20 years they only hit 4% of users, mostly thanks to VALVE! I know truth hurts. But dont fool yourself, accept it. Time comes for Linux gaming, but this i say for now over 25 years...
Why do people still try to play Windows games on Linux? That's pointless.
Because that's basically 98% of all games
Just use portproton ❤
