If you need something powerful (but maybe not very easy to use at first) GIMP also works great for that.


I’m using Linux Mint with an Nvdia card and it works great. But I don’t have a completely new PC so I don’t need the latest of the latest stuff. Taking your hardware into account is always a good idea.

My advice: don’t switch too fast, maybe keep dual boot at first and give yourself time to learn. Try distros with a live USB stick on your system to see if it works. For the look and feel consult https://distrosea.com/ and play around. Linux can be fun and it’s serving gamers very well now (for the most part - there are games that won’t run mostly due to invasive rootkit ‘anti-cheats’).


Yay for the first post!

I cannot comment on the topic but I’m wondering if you would get more insights from the folks in the !linux@lemmy.ml community. Maybe wanna crosspost?

Do you have some further reading on the active exploit of Genshin Impact’s anti-cheat?




EA Launcher, Ubisoft and Battlenet work fine with Lutris.

I wouldn’t install a kernel level “anti-cheat” crap on a Windows machine anyway, no loss here.

Also having zero issues using NVIDIA, works great. Distro wise it comes down to personal preferences and tastes. I second Mint for easy use, but I’m hearing that other distros like Nobara and PopOS also work great for gaming.



There’s literally thousands of complaints on Steam, some people also report an increase in RAM usage up to 1 GB, that’s insane on older machines, and even on new ones, I want my RAM for my games tyvm.


The number your phone provider associates you with, you can find it on your invoice.



Cool project, thanks for sharing!


I was using Linux Mint when I made the switch and it was great cause everything was just working, no tinkering needed. I want to mention https://nobaraproject.org/ though, cause it’s a modified Fedora version that works very well for gaming too.


I don’t think there’s a “best” but PopOS sure is one of the recommended ones. You might also find some answers in this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/1130762


Great recommendations here already, just chiming in to say that it works great with no issues at all.


The username sheds some light on it I believe.


Lutris and Steam. Also tried Bottles with very mixed results and Heroic Games Launcher that sometimes just works and then sometimes just doesn’t. Never tried PlayOnLinux, is there any advantage to it?
