It definitely works if you are willing to tinker but we are a low priority and anything that breaks takes a long time to fix. There’s even another project called Envision which runs better than SteamVR but isn’t as easy to use yet.

Yeah that’s the one it’s quite easy to set up and test. I haven’t had any issues like that so definitely give it a shot.

Glad to hear! You can add on top of that https://github.com/galister/wlx-overlay-s to be able to control your desktop among other things.

Check out Envision which uses Monado to replace SteamVR. It’s a lot smoother for me but requires some extra setup.

I did a quick test with the latest Proton when it came out and everything look fine.

I wonder what they fixed for Helldivers 2. All the bugs I’ve experienced happen to Windows users too.

There is no advantage to games and average applications preferring Wayland over X11 – only severe performance and unusability regressions right now. Thus, we must revert this change until fifo-v1 and commit-timing-v1 are released and at least in a stable release for major compositors."

Does this mean I’ve been getting reduced performance for using Wayland when playing games? I haven’t noticed any difference but I haven’t been benchmarking.

Yes it is preserved.

Not sure about this specific issue but whenever I had issues with EA games in the past I would nuke the compatdata for the game and that usually fixed it. Make sure to back up your save file if you do that.

Your Windows and Linux partition can share drives for games if you want to save space. You may run into permission issues sometimes but they’re easy to solve.

The Linux partition can even load games from Windows OS partition.

Yeah I remember having permission issues that were easily fixed with chown but they were hard to notice. I haven’t booted to Windows in over a year now so I must’ve forgotten lol.

It’s been a while since I switched to btrfs but I do remember the permissions being an issue with NTFS. It was quite annoying because Steam wouldn’t trigger an error so it was hard to debug when the game never opened.

I switched to BTRFS and used a Windows plugin that allows it to read/write to it. It solved all my NTFS and EXFAT issues and works great.

Worked great for me on Arch when installed via this Lutris link. Whenever Riot breaks something someone will figure it out and update the scripts then you just need to reinstall. Good luck!

I’ve heard good things about Nobara, a Fedora distribution focused on gaming. I use EndeavorOS which is basically Arch and haven’t encountered any major issues.

You may be thinking of Apex or some other MP game. Valorant for sure doesn’t work on Linux due to the invasive anti cheat.
