Wow! Linux has gone so far. I depend on Linux for my home use and for some of my work. It's great to see the gaming capabilities Linux has today. I can't wait to see what happens in the future.
It's incredible what has happened in the linux since Steam announced they'd use Linux on their Steam Deck. It also doesn't help that Microsoft is making it real attractive to not use Windows.
linux are getting better and better! tuxedo also doing a great job bridging the gaming gaps to linux. hope to hear more great news in the not so distant future. great job guys and thank you troy for making this great video. please do keep it coming. ❤👍
The steamdeck and valve have been a godsend for gaming on linux, i do basically all my gaming on linux (only exception being VR as the support isnt there yet) and have been playing starfield since its release on linux without any issues.
Not going to lie man..... I actually enjoyed listening to this and didn't really find myself skipping around a bunch (except for when I went to rewind a specific section). It was nice to see you go through the various emulators too and the fact you showed ways to rip your own ROMs. I have quite a bit of older games from the 90s I'd like to go back and play. I've also been thinking of getting my kids on Linux too, I just feel better about them having a system that's a bit more locked down and kind of forces them to tinker a little bit. I myself like Linux as well and use it for work stuff, it's awesome to me that Linux doesn't just need to be another sever-only OS. Good video overall - simple, yet thorough explanations on how to get setup. Keep at it man!
Great video. You really did a good job explaining everything in detail. I've been gaming on linux for quite a long time. As far as the emulators I usually set those up through lutris. Earlier this year I finally decided to remove my windows partition on my computer. That was a great feeling. Gaming on linux has really improved the last few years. Great video. I always enjoy watching your videos.
Something I think would be worthy of another video would be overlays. MangoHUD in particular. May also want to dive more into Heroic and Lutirs. I will say Proton has gotten so much better. It is able to install the EA App so that I can play Mass Effect on my Steam Deck.
This is very helpful. But there is another way to play a game on Linux, you can use heroic launcher and/or lutris. you may also install VM and play on VM because of the anti-cheat limitation, you may try to enable Display Acceleration on VM for better performance.
Great work on setting up gaming on Linux. Since I have been running Linux for about 5 years, my kids have now migrated to Linux for gaming as well. As you stated in the video some of the games run so much better in linux through proton than they do natively on Windows. Great Job!!
I'm not really a gamer but good grief, that laptop's specs look absolutely amazing. Those 2 GPUs are something that particularly interest me. Been dabbling in some advanced Python programs which take full advantage of the GPU so having the ability to route to either GPU would be a fascinating thing to do. Also GPU-passthrough in a VM would be a dream. The fact that Tux specializes in Linux is a gigantic cherry on top. Me likey.
Sup man, Like always, love your videos dude. I wanted to express my sincere interest in the laptop giveaway you're hosting. It's such a generous and exciting opportunity, and I truly appreciate your willingness to share it with the community. I'll be honest with you, I really want this laptop for mostly gaming purposes because my current build can't really play modern games, however, I understand that many people are interested, and the decision is ultimately yours. If you do consider me as a recipient, I promise to put this laptop to good use and make the most of it. Regardless of the outcome, thank you for your kindness and for organizing this giveaway. It's a wonderful gesture that brings positivity to the community. Keep up the good work.
If you are going to do more on Linux gaming I think getting games from the store running might be a good subject there are probably plenty of people with decent sized libraries from Epic's weekly giveaways As for emulators the only thing more you might add is the pros and cons of one over another for the same platform but I think that's pretty minor
A very useful demonstration and good to see a dedicated Linux distro ready to go for gaming. Needless to say that the Tuxedo laptop was a beefy one with all the power to handle the full range of what was shown.
It's really nice, migrated to linux around one year ago, play mostly single player nowadays so I had really great surprised when I started trying to play my games, only one that gave me a harder time was Catherine, but was able to play it after some extra workarounds
I just love gaming on Linux more and more. Makes you appreciate working games even more! Besides that gaming on Linux is becoming better and smoother the last years.
Ditched windows and been using garuda for 2 years. All the games that i play works well. It’s pretty stable too, i installed an additional xanmod lts kernel in case something breaks but so far i never had to use the alternative kernel
Even though I am more of a Debian/Ubuntu guy and am not a big fan of Arch, I am thinking my next computer might have Garuda just for the themeing and the simplicity of installing the emulators
Using roms to run a physical game on your computer, You are allowed a digital copy of every actual physical cartridge you purchase and physically own in the United States, other countries may have other laws and restrictions so it would be advisable to lookup the respective laws in your country regarding software/game copies use in your country. If you do not own the cartridge, its better to buy one, rip the cartridge and have your own digital copy for archive/backup. You can find cheap cartridges of games on certain sites, I suggest you own the physical copy before using any roms or files of any game. If you sell any physical game, make sure you deleted any digital copy as you no longer own the physical copy. This is out of repect to the game maker, the studio that created the game and also follows the DMCA act of 1998 subsection 117 for those in the United States. I agree "ripping" your own physically owned games or software for "archival or backup" purposes is on point. Rule of thumb is, if you don't physically own it, don't do it. But this video on Linux Gaming is FANTASTIC!, thank you for another awesome video!
Do sada najjasnije objašnjeno kako i šta uraditi.Volim samo trkačke igrice i ovo je prvi video gde je objašnjeno kako igrati"Need for speed".Verujem da se na isti način pokreću i Gre ed ,i slične.Hvala E BUZZ.
I gave Garuda a serious try but I kept having sound issues, tried switching between all the avail options but it continued to not work. I did like the everything already installed, it would save a ton of time especially for a linux noob like me. I do have to say if i had stuck with Garuda, I think I would have learned a lot less about linux tho. I ended up doing Arch, I know odd that my sound did work on arch, since garuda is arch based, but it did. I had to install all that stuff Garuda does for you, and I have learned a ton, i'm still a noob tho. A big thanks to you and all those on youtube that do linux videos i hate the forums, and dont like the wiki that much! Games I play on linux, so far Warframe, Guild Wars 2, Star Trek Online, all work without any issues, and in guild wars 2, where doing world bosses on win10/11 I was getting sometimes max 30 fps, on linux with some added compatability options in steam launch options i am getting a min of 70ish and usually at 100 fps for these world events (lots of players, lots of char models) So I'd say if it runs out of the box roll with Garuda, If you want to self educate and learn, give Arch a try, I have not tried anything yet that wasnt arch based, I may install Nobra on a second hard drive sometime in the future and see how it goes! and a big thanks again to you guys, all the instruction videos/linux type videos on youtube really help! Keep at it please!
Yes I keep trying to load software on other Linux distro's. And there is always something that goes wrong.... Will download this and try it out.... Thanks
I certainly Love this great platform! I built a pc for my brother and he was considering it for 5 minutes but then he said that "Windows will be easier" and made me install Win11 :(
Truth be told emulation in Linux is significantly better than on windows. I was even watching a channel about handheld devices and emulation and when he installed Linux the performance was better compared to windows. For the windows games hopefully for me, I am not a big fun of online multiplayer games in general but I totally understand this limitation is going to keep some people either having to use windows alongside with Linux or not being convenient for them to use Linux. About the Distro I didn't know the tool in Garuda to install emulators but I think some other Distros have something similar but I don't use these tools I mostly know the emulators I am using and if I don't I check the internet and never had an issue to find it in the repos (a lot of emulators are open source and distros package them).
WINE has gotten to the point where I have installed and spent time playing GOG Kenshi and GOG Fallout New Vegas with zero hassle beyond simply setting WINE to act like Windows 8.1, and no crashes. And I'm just using MX Linux 21.3 with the AHS kernel.
Your Garuda desktop looks very tasteful. I was turned off by the bold theming and went with a vanilla Garuda install. I think I’m going to revisit the Gaming variant. Thanks for the content.
Been waiting for your videos sooo long now ... Why did youtube stop showing me your new videos ??! I'm glad I checked back up the channel manually :D Gaming on linux is mostly easy nowadays, and soon anticheat programs will have to cooperate with steam deck getting so much users now :)
I'm loving Linux for gaming. I have been daily driving PoP! For the past year and have only found 1 or 2 games that want to give me trouble. Been dabbling with Linux since the 90s, it's come a loooong way since then. Highly recommend Linux to anyone who hasn't tried it yet!
Apex legends is 100% safe and runs well on linux i dunno if its my fault but it does crash after like a hour but im still messing with things to fix it thats why im here lol also i switched from nobara to garuda and its night and day one huge thing about nobara that sucks is you have to mount your drives every single time the pc turns back on.
this is great! while I do enjoy playing games on their original console, I do worry how long they would last and this would allow not only my consoles but games last that much longer.
WOW what a great video. As always. I will test Garuda Linux on my little gaming notebook and see how it goes. I am currently running MX Linux on my master devices. (remember in the vidoe about your community linux hardware ) Keep on doing such videos. They are great. Greetings to the community from Germany. Thumbs Up. And yes I am happy you are back . ❤
How was the turnout ? Im looking for a gaming distro that would worknbest for a Beelink 5800h .. Pop Os seems to be a good choice still not sure definitely want steam involved also.. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thank you so much for this amazing walk-through tutorial!! 🙏🏻 Highly appreciated. I will definitely give Garuda a try - maybe in combination with a brand new Tuxedo Laptop 💻 🎉
Nice video. Going to see about leaving Windows again this weekend so will give Garuda another look. Linux gaming appears to have come along well in the last year since I last tried leaving Windows.
Great video as always, Its a shame anti-cheat is an issue on Linux. Hopefully in time that could be sorted. Other than Anti-Cheat, VR support on Linux is a dream of mine. If those 2 issues where resolved fully I would move 100% to Linux. Thank you also for showing what Garuda can do, will be something I will install on a spare machine to test drive.
I play all my Steam Games, EA Games and GOG games on Linux, Proton has made gaming very smooth, I play Battlefield 4 no issues. Playing Metro Exodus and having a blast. The only thing left is HDR and even there progress is gaining. Anyways gaming was terrible on Debian and Fedora, Nobara was ok but I hate the upgrade procedures, EndeavourOS fixed all the issues I had with Nobara and Fedora, no wonder Valve went with an Arch distro.
The only thing preventing me from swapping to linux is total war warhammer 3 running with proton (native is out of date the whole time). I have 3070 laptop and 3090 pc. I get insane stutters that kill the fps to 1 every 2 seconds. Works fine on native but not proton. Tried GE, experimental, and the latest offical.
Great video, im thinking of ditching windows since im only keeping it for games, everything else i just need a browser for. The emulator parts were really awesome too.
Awesome video man. In fact gaming was the last obstacle that kept me on windows. My working notebook is already Linux only. I think, my gaming notebook will follow as soon as I backed up my stuff. Thank you for the video.
1:59 Actually, BattleEye and Easy Anti Cheat both have Linux compatability; it's up to the developers to allow said compatability, which is the actual problem. But then again, who wants a rootkit running with kernel-level permissions running on their system!?
Well you crrrainly reminded me of my youth. I run Steam on opensuse. I use proton experimental and have successfully run neverwinter nights and elder scrolls. I have Elden ring but I suspect it will need a cheat to run and I have heeded the warning of being banned. I’m only running with a standard Lenovo and the Microsoft graphics and it runs smooth as. As for Minecraft it runs better than it did on windows well I may be biased there but it seems to. Great video Troy. Useful stuff.
I have a steam deck and I can play mostly every single game that I have on my library and some other games they do have problems with the anti cheat but I really don't play too much multiplayer games bud and works very nice the steam deck it still has a long way to go at least proton but it's getting there
I wish I wasn't into such niche stuff that didn't play nicely with Linux. When I got my Steam Deck I really wanted it to be my first step towards ditching Windows, but unfortunately being really into visual novels, unpopular Japanese games, different mmos and stuff, Linux has kinda mostly been a hassle for me. It just sucks, because "Steam OS" really is pretty amazing with how well the features feel like a regular handheld or console. Windows doesn't even come close. (I guess, it has improved, and many games I couldn't play a year ago I can play now, but I'm not really a fan of having to troubleshoot nonstop, and hoping I can just get a game running correctly, or not just be missing something (cutscenes, effects, etc). I really hope Valve keeps at it, and eventually, I don't even need protontricks or workarounds for everything and they do "just work")
I've noticed games like Dreamcore are more Stable on Linux with Proton even though it was aimed at Windows I think Valve needs to force a Linux option instead of Proton I've been noticing some games slowly converting to Linux.
I switched my whole gaming pc to linux and it works great with Pop! OS and everything works great except had a issue with wifi which I had to install a driver but other than that everything works really good. Both this pc and my laptop run linux so I am windowless lol but did have to sacrifice a few games like rainbow six siege, gameloop to play call of duty mobile and injustice 2. I am glad to stop using windows, and probably wont go back at all.
I have playing Steam games on Linux for last 3 years until now. Games will not run now, Mount & blade 2, Outward, Wartales, Fartherest Frontier, Life in Feudal Forrest, to name a few. I have attempted to contact Steam support, I was sent a reply to acknowledge my request for help. Steam is very busy, 4th week now and still no contact. I have now purchased new memory for my deaktop, so old memory will go into rubbish bin and I use the new memory and try again.
The days of Windows are even more numbered in my household now. ProtonDB here I come. If the games I play are playable on Linux then there is no longer a use case scenario for Windows on my machines.
Thamks for this video, Im not a gsmer but as a geeser😂 Id like to try for fun on an AMD RX580 will this setup work for gsmed on metal installed PVE Virtual Manager? What is anti cheese or cheat? Can U use a keyboard to play these games or do you need something else?
I'm trying to get my feet wet on linux in general, of cause gaming is a part of that. Sadly gaming seems easier than developing C# apps x) Thanks for the video.
I tried ubuntu some 10 years back and now im seriously thinking of making the switch from windows,it may not be the year of linux,but there are more and more people who had enough of microsoft year of linux is a matter of time
Everything is good, but you didn't mentioned about the windows game with dvd installers/offline installers. Anyways, it's still a great and informative video.
If the anti cheat is at a kernel level, you're out of luck, luckily Windows are thinking about locking their kernel, which will force the anti cheat makers to make thier software at an api level, making it compatible with Linux.. Battleye works (when it comes to Bohemia games, like arma and dayz) What distro is geruda based of?😮
Awesome video lad just was wondering about Linux, my brother dumped a broken Arcade on me that is run by an old Compaq PC inside the lad who made the Arcade is rip off merchant it is basically freemium games on MAME running on Unix system hoping that a Linux PC can be used to fix the PC the hard drive is tiny the thing is a joke tabletop CRT and a Compaq rip off PC folks get robbed buying them this thing needs fixed though but was wondering about sorting out a retro PC to run Linux to try hack and fix the old Compaq system as the lad that made it has it locked up kinda anyhow was expecting Linux to be a nightmare to run games yet it looks better than windows thankfully someone with common sense and a brain has brought out a decent video explaining how to sort it out cheers lad hope you had an awesome Christmas with a grand New Year thanks as needed a video like this to follow suit...
liked it alot, but did'nt have a use for new computer/laptop, so no subscription.. thnks for detailed video.. a shame you did'nt say anything about installing windows games on linux, metal gear works already native right? i'm installing Garuda on my second pc (i7 6700k) its getting too old for windows.. (build in 2016) already unsupported hardware.. since win 11. it works, but to many hoops to jump trough, is the main feeling that i get from windows now a days.. not to bad i kinda know what to do in windows.. but i'm getting annoyed about it, i'm watching linux mature in gaming for a couple of years now.. i think its time..
I used to play a lot of these games with my kids. They are adults now. I'm sending them a link to this video.
I usedo to not Answer TLTTvags Trolls but now im sending to you a Middle Finger inside your parts...
Thanks to the devs for Proton and Steam Linux Gaming has really come along in the past few years and is a whole lot easier now-a-days.
Wow! Linux has gone so far. I depend on Linux for my home use and for some of my work. It's great to see the gaming capabilities Linux has today. I can't wait to see what happens in the future.
It's incredible what has happened in the linux since Steam announced they'd use Linux on their Steam Deck. It also doesn't help that Microsoft is making it real attractive to not use Windows.
linux are getting better and better! tuxedo also doing a great job bridging the gaming gaps to linux. hope to hear more great news in the not so distant future. great job guys and thank you troy for making this great video. please do keep it coming. ❤👍
The steamdeck and valve have been a godsend for gaming on linux, i do basically all my gaming on linux (only exception being VR as the support isnt there yet) and have been playing starfield since its release on linux without any issues.
You can say that again.😃 Viva la Linux Revolution.😂
Been waiting for an all in one type outline on how to run Linux as a gaming setup THANK YOU
Not going to lie man..... I actually enjoyed listening to this and didn't really find myself skipping around a bunch (except for when I went to rewind a specific section). It was nice to see you go through the various emulators too and the fact you showed ways to rip your own ROMs. I have quite a bit of older games from the 90s I'd like to go back and play.
I've also been thinking of getting my kids on Linux too, I just feel better about them having a system that's a bit more locked down and kind of forces them to tinker a little bit. I myself like Linux as well and use it for work stuff, it's awesome to me that Linux doesn't just need to be another sever-only OS.
Good video overall - simple, yet thorough explanations on how to get setup. Keep at it man!
Great video. You really did a good job explaining everything in detail. I've been gaming on linux for quite a long time. As far as the emulators I usually set those up through lutris. Earlier this year I finally decided to remove my windows partition on my computer. That was a great feeling. Gaming on linux has really improved the last few years. Great video. I always enjoy watching your videos.
Something I think would be worthy of another video would be overlays. MangoHUD in particular. May also want to dive more into Heroic and Lutirs. I will say Proton has gotten so much better. It is able to install the EA App so that I can play Mass Effect on my Steam Deck.
Did a lot of research and this video is the icing on my first Linux cake!
CPU I5-11400F
GPU GeForce GT 1030
This is very helpful. But there is another way to play a game on Linux, you can use heroic launcher and/or lutris. you may also install VM and play on VM because of the anti-cheat limitation, you may try to enable Display Acceleration on VM for better performance.
Tuxedo doing great job providing laptop which are made for linux
Maybe some day I will buy one too
Nice video ebuzz
Every day, gaming on Linux gets better and better! It's so fun to have the ability on a FOSS OS! Thanks for the video and the giveaway!
Great work on setting up gaming on Linux. Since I have been running Linux for about 5 years, my kids have now migrated to Linux for gaming as well. As you stated in the video some of the games run so much better in linux through proton than they do natively on Windows. Great Job!!

Been dabbling in some advanced Python programs which take full advantage of the GPU so having the ability to route to either GPU would be a fascinating thing to do. Also GPU-passthrough in a VM would be a dream. The fact that Tux specializes in Linux is a gigantic cherry on top. Me likey.
Thank you, made the change to Garuda back in June, and so far so good, I’m a Linux novice, but the learning curve has been fairly pleasant.
Sup man,
Like always, love your videos dude.
I wanted to express my sincere interest in the laptop giveaway you're hosting. It's such a generous and exciting opportunity, and I truly appreciate your willingness to share it with the community.
I'll be honest with you, I really want this laptop for mostly gaming purposes because my current build can't really play modern games, however, I understand that many people are interested, and the decision is ultimately yours.

It's a wonderful gesture that brings positivity to the community.
Keep up the good work.
I have been trying to find a Linux that is right for gaming the right laptop obviously helps
If you are going to do more on Linux gaming I think getting games from the store running might be a good subject there are probably plenty of people with decent sized libraries from Epic's weekly giveaways
As for emulators the only thing more you might add is the pros and cons of one over another for the same platform but I think that's pretty minor
For some reason, I can't buy games in Steam running on linux, gives me an error. I have to buy them on my phone, or logged in a browser.
Dual GPU!!! I could pass one of them in qemu through, and play unsupported games in a virtual windows machine with half of the ram
A very useful demonstration and good to see a dedicated Linux distro ready to go for gaming. Needless to say that the Tuxedo laptop was a beefy one with all the power to handle the full range of what was shown.
I have a Steam Deck and love what what it does for the Linux community.
It's really nice, migrated to linux around one year ago, play mostly single player nowadays so I had really great surprised when I started trying to play my games, only one that gave me a harder time was Catherine, but was able to play it after some extra workarounds
I just love gaming on Linux more and more. Makes you appreciate working games even more! Besides that gaming on Linux is becoming better and smoother the last years.
Linux has come a long way from when I started in 1993. I may consider a Tuxedo laptop so that I have a secondary full time gaming machine on the go.
It is so old cant belive it
@@FettsaeureTell me about it. I was in college when Linux came about.
I been using Linux casually since 1998, I am very impressed with All of this!! It is easy to to see a real future in this!!
Ditched windows and been using garuda for 2 years. All the games that i play works well. It’s pretty stable too, i installed an additional xanmod lts kernel in case something breaks but so far i never had to use the alternative kernel
Even though I am more of a Debian/Ubuntu guy and am not a big fan of Arch, I am thinking my next computer might have Garuda just for the themeing and the simplicity of installing the emulators

Windows games nowadays runs better in linux under proton/lutris/ vulkan than their native linux ports.
A new Laptop would be great. My old one is almost 7 years old and not made for Linux. Had some Problems to get it running, but I did it.

I gave Garuda a serious try but I kept having sound issues, tried switching between all the avail options but it continued to not work. I did like the everything already installed, it would save a ton of time especially for a linux noob like me. I do have to say if i had stuck with Garuda, I think I would have learned a lot less about linux tho.

So I'd say if it runs out of the box roll with Garuda, If you want to self educate and learn, give Arch a try, I have not tried anything yet that wasnt arch based, I may install Nobra on a second hard drive sometime in the future and see how it goes!
and a big thanks again to you guys, all the instruction videos/linux type videos on youtube really help! Keep at it please!
Yes I keep trying to load software on other Linux distro's. And there is always something that goes wrong.... Will download this and try it out.... Thanks
this is a pretty sweet video covering not only TUXEDO, but a good distro for gamers wanting to leave Windows
I certainly Love this great platform! I built a pc for my brother and he was considering it for 5 minutes but then he said that "Windows will be easier" and made me install Win11 :(
linux gaming improved a lot after steam deck release and that is amazing

I'm playing Balder's Gate 3 in Steam on Linux Mint 21.1 with 6.2 kernel just fine. Also, playing WoW just fine as well.

Been running garuda for a while and like the gaming version as well love the videos
Nice thanks ebuzz to show us Tuxedo and all the option we have. I Will have fun with this for shure.
I play all my Steam Games, EA Games and GOG games on Linux, Proton has made gaming very smooth, I play Battlefield 4 no issues. Playing Metro Exodus and having a blast.
The only thing left is HDR and even there progress is gaining. Anyways gaming was terrible on Debian and Fedora, Nobara was ok but I hate the upgrade procedures, EndeavourOS fixed all the issues I had with Nobara and Fedora, no wonder Valve went with an Arch distro.
Might give this linux distro a shot for gaming.
I'm happy to se that linux is more and more friendly for gamers !
The only thing preventing me from swapping to linux is total war warhammer 3 running with proton (native is out of date the whole time). I have 3070 laptop and 3090 pc. I get insane stutters that kill the fps to 1 every 2 seconds. Works fine on native but not proton. Tried GE, experimental, and the latest offical.
Great video, im thinking of ditching windows since im only keeping it for games, everything else i just need a browser for. The emulator parts were really awesome too.
I like using gog since you get an installer and can back it up along with install the game offline.
Glad to find this channel, saved it to my fav Linux videos. Thank you for all the steps provided.
Awesome video man. In fact gaming was the last obstacle that kept me on windows. My working notebook is already Linux only. I think, my gaming notebook will follow as soon as I backed up my stuff. Thank you for the video.
Your back!! Yay!! Welcome back ❤
1:59 Actually, BattleEye and Easy Anti Cheat both have Linux compatability; it's up to the developers to allow said compatability, which is the actual problem. But then again, who wants a rootkit running with kernel-level permissions running on their system!?
Well you crrrainly reminded me of my youth. I run Steam on opensuse. I use proton experimental and have successfully run neverwinter nights and elder scrolls. I have Elden ring but I suspect it will need a cheat to run and I have heeded the warning of being banned. I’m only running with a standard Lenovo and the Microsoft graphics and it runs smooth as. As for Minecraft it runs better than it did on windows well I may be biased there but it seems to. Great video Troy. Useful stuff.
I love gaming on Linux . And i love your👍🏼 continued awsome content
I absolutely Love Garuda been using it for over a year now
Thank you for the video and I will try Garudo on my system. A colleague owns a Tuxedo 17" notebook and is very happy with it.
off to try on old MacBookPro. only space laptop I have that might run this...
I have a steam deck and I can play mostly every single game that I have on my library and some other games they do have problems with the anti cheat but I really don't play too much multiplayer games bud and works very nice the steam deck it still has a long way to go at least proton but it's getting there
I might try this on my macbook air. I doubt if it will run games, but it looks so cool!!!
I wish I wasn't into such niche stuff that didn't play nicely with Linux. When I got my Steam Deck I really wanted it to be my first step towards ditching Windows, but unfortunately being really into visual novels, unpopular Japanese games, different mmos and stuff, Linux has kinda mostly been a hassle for me. It just sucks, because "Steam OS" really is pretty amazing with how well the features feel like a regular handheld or console. Windows doesn't even come close.
(I guess, it has improved, and many games I couldn't play a year ago I can play now, but I'm not really a fan of having to troubleshoot nonstop, and hoping I can just get a game running correctly, or not just be missing something (cutscenes, effects, etc). I really hope Valve keeps at it, and eventually, I don't even need protontricks or workarounds for everything and they do "just work")
Great video and great laptop. I can only dream of ever getting laptop like this.
I've noticed games like Dreamcore are more Stable on Linux with Proton even though it was aimed at Windows I think Valve needs to force a Linux option instead of Proton I've been noticing some games slowly converting to Linux.
Nice vídeo, Linux has come a long way in gaming
I switched my whole gaming pc to linux and it works great with Pop! OS and everything works great except had a issue with wifi which I had to install a driver but other than that everything works really good. Both this pc and my laptop run linux so I am windowless lol but did have to sacrifice a few games like rainbow six siege, gameloop to play call of duty mobile and injustice 2. I am glad to stop using windows, and probably wont go back at all.
@@dreaper5813 makes sense yeah
@@dreaper5813 yeah your right. I hate those anti cheats
@@dreaper5813 Never really had a bad experience with Nvidia. I had problems before but they were fixable and thanks.
Thanks! could you cover how to run windows games that are not on steam?
ex something downloaded from gog or humble bundle?
This is exactly what I've been waiting for!!
Awesome laptop, even more because it's already Linux oriented just like I am. 😁
You only mentioned gaming on steam, i don't have steam and i can install proton to play games from GOG too!
Thanks for your gaming Linux video ebuzz
Would have been nice to touch on Heroic or Lutris for playing other games not in the Steam library.
I have playing Steam games on Linux for last 3 years until now. Games will not run now, Mount & blade 2, Outward, Wartales, Fartherest Frontier, Life in Feudal Forrest, to name a few. I have attempted to contact Steam support, I was sent a reply to acknowledge my request for help. Steam is very busy, 4th week now and still no contact. I have now purchased new memory for my deaktop, so old memory will go into rubbish bin and I use the new memory and try again.
in my system, emulators runs better than in windows. Great video
The days of Windows are even more numbered in my household now. ProtonDB here I come. If the games I play are playable on Linux then there is no longer a use case scenario for Windows on my machines.
Thamks for this video, Im not a gsmer but as a geeser😂 Id like to try for fun on an AMD RX580 will this setup work for gsmed on metal installed PVE Virtual Manager? What is anti cheese or cheat? Can U use a keyboard to play these games or do you need something else?
I'm trying to get my feet wet on linux in general, of cause gaming is a part of that.
Sadly gaming seems easier than developing C# apps x)
Thanks for the video.
I tried ubuntu some 10 years back
and now im seriously thinking of making the switch from windows,it may not be the year of linux,but there are more and more people who had enough of microsoft
year of linux is a matter of time
Everything is good, but you didn't mentioned about the windows game with dvd installers/offline installers.
Anyways, it's still a great and informative video.
Linux is the future! Great video!
Nice one, enjoyed this very much.
If the anti cheat is at a kernel level, you're out of luck, luckily Windows are thinking about locking their kernel, which will force the anti cheat makers to make thier software at an api level, making it compatible with Linux..
Battleye works (when it comes to Bohemia games, like arma and dayz)
What distro is geruda based of?😮
Awesome video lad just was wondering about Linux, my brother dumped a broken Arcade on me that is run by an old Compaq PC inside the lad who made the Arcade is rip off merchant it is basically freemium games on MAME running on Unix system hoping that a Linux PC can be used to fix the PC the hard drive is tiny the thing is a joke tabletop CRT and a Compaq rip off PC folks get robbed buying them this thing needs fixed though but was wondering about sorting out a retro PC to run Linux to try hack and fix the old Compaq system as the lad that made it has it locked up kinda anyhow was expecting Linux to be a nightmare to run games yet it looks better than windows thankfully someone with common sense and a brain has brought out a decent video explaining how to sort it out cheers lad hope you had an awesome Christmas with a grand New Year thanks as needed a video like this to follow suit...
Really enjoyed the video. I wish you could mention the state of Xbox emulation.
Looking for a distro that has minimal set up, really a more console-Es experience, this may be close
U can use motion controlr on dolphin if u use a switch contqoller
liked it alot, but did'nt have a use for new computer/laptop, so no subscription.. thnks for detailed video.. a shame you did'nt say anything about installing windows games on linux, metal gear works already native right? i'm installing Garuda on my second pc (i7 6700k) its getting too old for windows.. (build in 2016) already unsupported hardware.. since win 11. it works, but to many hoops to jump trough, is the main feeling that i get from windows now a days.. not to bad i kinda know what to do in windows.. but i'm getting annoyed about it, i'm watching linux mature in gaming for a couple of years now.. i think its time..
Beautiful overview btw as always, thanks a lot!
This looks awesome with Garuda!
Valve has really helped with the gaming on linux scene quite a bit
Like the video wold love to see more linux gaming content.
