I know, lame post, but I wanted to say that Linux gaming has gotten soooo much better, to the point that I honestly think my games are running better than on Windows. I’ve played so many games, but notable ones are Halo: MCC, MS Flight Sim 2020, Satisfactory, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and right now I’m starting a full playthrough of Dragon Age.

Dragon Age is notorious even on Windows for being a pain because it’s such an old game. You have to install the 4gb patch, and even then it’s a bit rocky. Not on Linux though! I did have to install PhysX but I googled it and saw it was 2 buttons to install on Linux! Now it’s been rock solid and stable, with no crashes.

Linux gaming may have a high bar to learn, but that bar is constantly getting lower! Exciting times!

    I’m in the same boat. I installed Bazzite oh my desktop as well as on my Legion Go. Everything runs out of the box. Except Lutris.

      I’ve been using Bazzite for about 2 months now (daily driver for about a month and a half) and Lutris came preinstalled for me. I’ve had zero problems using it, I have battle.net games and EA app (fuck that app BTW) games installed and it just works for me.

      Was it not preinstalled with your initial installation of Bazzite?

        Nevermind. Found out it was a failure on my part. By default it does not show un-installed games. Because I had no games installed, it always showed no games. And I assumed it was broken.

          Trial and error, I feel your pain. I’ve learned a lot since switching and I’m loving it tbh!

          Glad you got it figured out!
