My first adventures in gaming
![]()
I only play World of Warcraft (since release) and this through lutris nowadays.
I just finished the last of us part 2. I donāt know whatās next to play other than my on going grand theft auto online addiction, but I thought it was pretty decent. Setup nicely for a part 3 to come though.
Nowadays I only game for a couple of weeks every third year or so. I donāt bother with setting Linux up for gaming, I just load a Windows Clonezilla image that I maintain on a computer.
The last game was Red Dead Redemption 2, which was damn great!
The two series I always keep an eye on, is Elder Scrolls and Total War.
Iāve played Total War since the first Shogun game came out and my education was specializing in medieval military history, so those games are frigginā awesome to me.
Damn! (not my vid)
Oooh Iāve been meaning to play red dead redemption two⦠Only thing is I know it doesnāt work too good on Linux and I have literally spent all week/weekend setting up Linux on my gaming desktop (MX) and old gaming laptop (Solus). And I refuse to use a windows virtual DE as I want to stick to Linux as much as possible - Hence why it took me hours this week(end) installing games via lutris and wine tricks
P. S Please donāt shoot me guys⦠I didnāt want bleeding edge EOS on my gaming systems for obvious reasons ![]()
Seems itās possible, but not very accessible to public yetā¦Need a little bit waiting there were some patches coming iāve heard ![]()
Thatās fine if you use custom Engines though ![]()
And even doesnāt matter if you use Arch or not, well maybe Kernel / drivers will be little behind which is not goodā¦
Anyway, glad youāve sorted your problems out and ready to game ![]()
Oh and btw, if you set your wineprefixes right (make it portable) you can use whatever host system later ![]()
P.S. Today in the evening hopefully iāll release my 1st version of Linux gaming guide!
Not easy write-up especially when working a lot alongside ![]()
Elder scrolls - Skyrim is one of my all time fave games ![]()
Also, I think itās very interesting how you specialised in medieval military. That must have been fascinating⦠Iāve always had great respect for war tacticians/military strategists. So was thinking of buying Art of War⦠Itās one of those books thats been on my radar for a while.
Though I havenāt played total war series other than Shogun, I am thinking of loading shogun onto my newly installed Solus distro
Or Total War Troy: I was reading up about that in Saturday and it looks quite good.
Thanks for heads up⦠Iāll keep my eye out.
Yeah to be fair I know my kernels are behind, but I didnāt want to be on latest kernel anyway in case it breaks my system. As I know people across various distros have had problems with 5.8 & even though Iāll be backing up my home folders. Game installations are not something I want to be doing unless I really have to⦠As for drivers. On my desktop/MX Iām on 440 (Nvidia) and 390 (Nvidia) on my laptop/Solus - 440 doesnāt support my graphics card⦠I donāt mind though as that laptop is for old/retro games anyway.
I know finally!!! In the end I decided to install MX completely on my desktop HDD as the recovery of my windows games on there did not go too well⦠So thought Iād forget about it completely and start again with Linux.
Looking forward to it!! ![]()
Huh! Just like on Arch here⦠![]()
They seem to keep up this days, i never knew that!
Good thinking, especially long-term! ![]()
I thought Arch was on 450??. Also, MX do keep up to date with some things in their repos e.g Drivers. If they didnāt thereās no way I wouldāve installed it on my gaming desktop.
Definitely Linux ftw!! Im just praying none of my systems will break as I donāt want to reinstall my games. As even though I have backups of game saves/home folders. Itās just the hassle of reinstalling that Iād rather not go through
Ooopsā¦Forgot to update lately, thx ![]()
Haha youāre welcome
Iām going to try and update all 4x Linux systems once a week at least.
Lately, I have been playing Minetest. The fact that itās free software and so easily moddable is pretty appealing, even if the whole Minecraft-style game thing is a bit old hat at this stage.
For what itās worth, I have been trying to get into programming for ages, so the idea of being able to program small mods and see the result on screen in a videogame is pretty appealing.
Hey, thatās great! Looking forward to learning a lot ![]()
Years ago I had not much luck installing this great game on linux. Therefore I decided to continue with dual booting (Windows for gaming - Linux for all other things)
But hopefully Iāll get my favourite games running on linux in the future (with the help of @keybreak).
Will āThe Elder Scrolls Onlineā run fine? Iāll tryā¦
Should be, according to both Protondb and Lutris itās real ![]()
With Steam will be easier, but Wine is also very possible with few winetricks
Glad to hear that! Iāll directly install with Steam then.
ā¦and if I have āPath of Exileā, āWitcher 3ā, āDivinity: Original Sin 2ā, āWolcenā and āTESOā successfully running on my machine Iāll have no more need for dual-booting ![]()
Would immediately splash the cash for the new Flight Simulator⦠but I would have to install Win10
itās probably never going to run on Linux. Not that anyone expected it, but stillā¦
As for ARPGs, Iām hooked to Last Epoch. Very solid for a beta.
Yes, that game is on my wish list now ![]()
