Is Linux GOOD For Gaming in 2024

Ғылым және технология

Hey there, gamers! Welcome back to our channel. Today, we're diving deep into the world of gaming on Linux. Yup, you heard that right! Linux isn't just for coding wizards and tech geeks anymore; it's making waves in the gaming community too. But is it all sunshine and rainbows, or are there some storm clouds lurking? Let's find out together.
5 Reasons Why Linux is Good for Gaming:
1. Linux supports more games than ever before.
2. Plug-and-play support for many controllers.
3. Pre-installed Nvidia drivers on select distributions.
4. Recent drivers have improved shader compilation on AMD GPUs.
5. Tons of utility tools.
5 Places Where Linux Still Lacks As Compared to Windows:
1. Restrictive DRM doesn't like Linux.
2. Third-party launcher woes on Linux.
3. Linux emulator support is a little lacking.
4. Linux sports fewer third-party tools.
5. Windows gives you the latest and greatest, day one.

    That’s quite some AI voice you got there, huh? Well, you’re wrong about launchers for sure. Linux’s are generally community run and they are designed to let the user run and manage their games as easily as possible. They do not try to restrict you to certain stores - not even Steam. (You can add external games) It just runs the dumb proprietary launchers for you, runs the game, and closes them back down.

    Sehr gutes Video. Bin mit dem C64 und anschließend mit einem 386 SX25 groß geworden. Dos 5.0 und recht schnell, 6.22 und Windooof 3.1. War eigentlich immer zufrieden.... aber nachdem 8.1 raus kam, war ich unzufrieden und ich habe Linux ausprobiert, natürlich nur im Dual Boot oder auf virtueller Ebene. Nachdem Windoof 10 raus kam, habe ich mehr und mehr mit Linux experimentiert und ca. 70 Distros ausprobiert. Windows 11 habe ich ca. ein Jahr benutzt und bin mittlerweile Windooof frei. Im Moment benutze ich PopOS zu zocken und Manjaro im Dual Boot zum Arbeiten. Für den Notfall habe ich noch eine externe SSD mit Windows 11, aber hauptsächlich nutze ich nur noch Linux. Mittlerweile nutze ich neben PopOS und Manjaro, auch noch eine dritte SSD mit Batocera, damit ich meine Retro Games unbeschwert zocken kann...

    DRM-problems are as good as solved since the SteamDeck launched (Valve fixed it for most of the games back then). I don't think that we should mind some games getting blocked on Linux due to kernel-level anti-cheat not being supported, we should not want that to run on our system anyway, it is too dangerous and too privacy-invading. Yes, it happens at times that launchers break, the EA-launcher broke a few times in the last years but it always got fixed, the Ubisoft launcher is a mess, I would recommend to avoid Ubisoft-games if you game on Linux. For example, Far Cry 3 still didn't work properly the last time that I tried it, a few years ago. In regard to gaming on Linux in general, mostly it is fine (outside the mentioned issues) but there are some exceptions. Most of the games which I play have native-level performance, some small differences (both bad and good) but near the same level. Here an example of an exception. I have been playing Borderlands3 recently and that game still is a bit broken 5 years after launch. I can't exactly put my finger on the problem but when you play the game for some time eventually you get bad stutter: 100-200 ms spikes for 1 framewith an average FPS of 80-110. This could be explained by either compiling shaders - which should be precompiled - or by bad memory-management. Just waiting on the same spot for a while can solve it. But this is the exception, it is more a developer-problem than a Linux-gaming-problem but it could be worse on Linux than on Windows if it is caused by shaders having to get compiled while running the game due to it needing to be done twice when you use dxvk.

    @MichaelDustter The truth is pirating games provides better experience than actually buying them. Same goes for the apps. In 2021 I've bought Forza Horizon 5 Deluxe edition or what it is called and everything was great but now I only get frustrated when I want to buy a car and it says that I need another dlc, like WHAT? I've already spent so much money for this games and it wants more? I'd rather pirate and have everything I want for free and honestly that was a waste of money.

    @MichaelDustter The problem with Far Cry 4 is insane, the FPS fluctuating in between 50 and 140 FPS all the time while being on the opening-island and standing still. My guess would be that the launcher itself causes the problem, maybe some weird DRM-stuff, no idea. I have a few games on the Ubisoft Store which I got for free but I have never tried it out on Linux, the last time that I tried to start Uplay was in late 2023, a buddy of mine told me that it was broken so I tried it out. Both via Lutris as via Steam I couldn't get it to work. By the way, try out Heroicgameslauncher, it definitely is nicer than Lutris for the external launchers which it supports. For StarCraft2 I use Lutris, no problem with it at all but there were 2 or so rough years in which it broke regularly due to Arch making a mistake with wine. It was not really the packager's fault (at first anyway), it had to do with how the wine-developers made some changes which required to compile it in a specific way. Somebody on the Gentoo-forum figured it out, 1 time I even compiled wine from source to get the game to work again. That was quite adventurous considering that back then wine-staging still was a thing and I also used that, it made it a bit more complicated because you start with ordinary wine and then you patch it.

However, I don't do it anymore because of software-security, I have done it in the past and like Skies I also bought many of those games after having pirated it, just because I like developers to keep making such games.

    Actually no.1 reason to game on linux is because windows sucks more and more with each update. Never mind all the data Microsft gets about you, but your PC is not even your PC anymore. You are forced to sign in with your Microsoft account, so their server decide when and if you are allow to use your pc, Microsft reads everything you type in Office, you got ads in everything now from file browser, start menu, even in the shut down screen. You wrote something in a Word document that Microsoft does not like, you can't use your pc anymore. I am not buying a 2-3000 Euro PC to beg Microsoft for permision to use it.

    Then kernel anti-cheat is throwing at us to set back the linux gamming community, thought I'll be honest at least we're free and safe from that! And actually some of those intrusive anti-cheats are now linux compatible by running in user-space (not kernel)... Still some anti-cheats are not compatible yet! A good thing also is that some distros can even work with containers seamlessly, witch means that less trusted software can only exist inside a container and not polluting the host OS.
