Linux for gaming ??
Linux for gaming ??
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and conciseness:
“I’m frustrated with Windows 10. It’s consistently slow, particularly compared to my older Windows 7 installation. I’d really like a new Windows release before January 2020 – ideally one that performs better than 1809. My PC specs are: ASUS GTX 750 Ti FORMULA OC graphics card, Core 2 Quad Q9500 processor, 8GB of DDR3 1066MHz RAM, and a 250GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD with a 2TB HDD for game storage. I primarily use the HDD to store downloaded games due to budget constraints.”
Im never going linux. Its a pain.
Unfortunately after repartitioning my ssd to keep the existing data on the ssd safe, pop os installed but refused to boot after a restart.
I just gave up on the ssd and completely formatted my hard drive and successfully installed pop os. After a reboot it booted however i couldnt install steam. I remembered then my wifi dongle doesnt work on linux. Aargg.
Ill try it with a different adapter if I can find a spare.
The text describes frustrations with open-source software like KOBI and Avidemux, highlighting their complexity compared to user-friendly options. Despite challenges with software usability, the author acknowledges the potential of data caps and internet speeds impacting gaming experiences, particularly concerning 4K streaming. The discussion shifts to the competitive landscape of game distribution, noting Steam's dominance and the emergence of platforms like Stadia. Id’s Orion tool is presented as a key advantage for Stadia, potentially boosting performance by 20%. Ultimately, the text suggests that if streaming becomes prevalent, Stadia may have an edge due to its infrastructure and Orion technology.
Not anymore. With proton and lutris most games will work.
In the video above there was 5000 games on steam that work natively with linux but after enabling proton and lutris nearly all worked.
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and flow:
The issue seems to be related to booting with Proton on Lubuntu. It appears unreliable across different Linux distributions. I’ve tested it on Lubuntu, a system originally running Windows 10 (with a partitioned hard drive), and a dedicated Micro Machine system that was entirely Linux from the start. On the Micro Machine, I managed to install Steam and enable Proton through the Steam interface – though the exact method is somewhat hazy. It wasn't done via apt-get, but rather through options within the Steam application itself. However, my investigation has been purely exploratory; I haven’t delved into the underlying causes of this behavior.
I’m attempting to install Pop!_OS on my older Pentium laptop, which has a 120GB SSD. I'm familiar with the limitations of integrated graphics for Intel Atom processors and appreciate Lubuntu’s ability to make older hardware usable. A previous attempt with Lubuntu on a netbook (2GB RAM, N3060) running Windows 10 was frustrating – Firefox took a long time to load, and the system felt sluggish when using a slow USB stick. I'm hoping to get this SSD working correctly for booting. The installation seems successful, but the BIOS isn’t recognizing the drive as bootable.
Just i stalled popos onto my laptops ssd. Runs amazingly fast and my wifi card+igpu drivers were detected immediately. Came with steam installed.
Of my small library of games on steam, only 4 support linux natively. Gta v doesnt work at first, but if you enable proton from the settings in steam, all of my steam library was able to install.
So yes, gtav will work on linux if you do this:
install linux (pop os makes drivers auto install)
open steam (already installed in pop os)
enable proton from steam settings
Now games like gtav, tf2, hitman 2, beam ng drive, automation, and more are able to download and play as normal.
