Linux gaming thread

Linux has so many games that some of them are even good games

What have you been playing recently, user? I've been playing a lot of Caves of Qud. Works great on Linux of course.

Sometimes debian wont detect when I disconnect the hdmi cable to my TV, so it doesn't make my monitor the primary screen until I connect and disconnect the cable a few times. Also one day my retroarch launch configurations on steam stopped working for some reason.

Wait, is that actually running in terminal?
I have been playing Xonotic, UT99, Serious Sam 3, I am playing through Half Life: Blue Shift for the first time, I checked out what is new in latest Brutal Doom release,
And I found "Oh...Sir! The Insult simulator" to be very fun game.
you now have enough info about me to find my Steam profile and start sending me a lot of furry porn

Which Debian? Latest one?

Cant say ive had this problem user. You could make a script (granted this is a bad idea) that detects when your hdmi is unplugged and disconnect all video connections. Or just be smart and probably restart whatever DE youre in.

I think it can actually, at least the older versions, but no, I was playing the Unity version

ubuntu sucks

I dunno, it's a good beginner distro. I prefer Arch or Debian myself but Ubuntu has a lot of support and software availability

lemme see: tr5, ck2, openra, oolite, simutrans., rimworld.

Deep Rock Galactic.

Linux sux. Not because of nogames. It actually has games now
It sux because it has the worst possible work-related software. All CADs are horrible.
Also the worst possible audio stack. No system-wide equalizer? Really?

Going to go back and play the old Id classics again soon because of the stink being made over how much Zenimax has fucked them up.
Its great that Id made sure the true versions of those games could never be taken away or ruined. I wish more companies would follow their example and open their engines.

Ubuntu and its various flavors are alright. They're widely supported and have reasonably up to date packages. Debian works great for servers, but i find the packages too outdated for something as ever evolving as gaming on GNU/Linux. As far as i'm concerned,*buntu arch and its derivatives, solus and clear linux in a year or two are the best desktop distributions for daily use, including gaming. Solus especially, as it has linux-steam-integration, a collection of tweaks that aim to improve compatibility and performance with steam games, but it's also in the AUR, so arch users don't miss out. I often recommend solus to normies who want to switch, as budgie is basically gnome 3 with a more conventional desktop layout they're used to, and it also has things like discord in the official repo, comes with steam installed and has a convenient installer for proprietary drivers.

>it has the worst possible work-related software
tell that to programmers

It's mostly a chicken-egg problem. If you don't have users people won't bother supporting your platform. But if people don't support your platform you don't get users. Valve is trying to solve this with Proton.

Microsoft is actually fighting a similar battle to try to win over professional software developers to Windows. A lot of software developers are comfortable in Linux so their solution was to just literally put Linux inside of Windows.

>follow every single tutorial possible to run games on Wine with amd open source drivers
>2 games out of the 20 installed on my PC works
>they both run much slower than natively
fuck this I'm back to Windows

There are pulseaudio plugins that shove effects and eq into it. There are probably some for raw ALSA too, and if you're using JACK you can just write whatever you want in your favorite DSP processor and route all your other audio through it.

But yeah, the audio stack really sucks and not shipping with an eq is the least of its problems.

Yesterday I tested Yume 4kki, it works, to the user who said he was having random crashes install the mpg123 and lib32-mpg123 packages from your repos.
