Anything linux is not going to be good for gaming, it may get better, but Windows is always going to rule the market.

why don't you try and see? it's free as in free beer so you don't have to worry about licensing + you'll have bragging rights on . make sure to make backups in case you fuck up if you decide to give it a shot, though.
Isaac Nguyen
Depends on game and hardware you lying faggot
Ayden Scott
I wasn't lying, I was just generalizing. Yes, it depends on the game/hardware, but in general you'd be better off on Windows because it has vast amounts of support compared to Linux. My steam library shrinks by like 100+ games when on Linux. My hardware isn't the best for Linux gaming either, so.

I never knew everytime I ran dd I wad running Disco Dingo, the Ubuntu latest release

Ubuntu is the worst GNOME distro. You need 2000$ hardware for it not to stutter on desktop. Normal Ubuntu isn't a desktop OS and is useless. If you want the Ubuntu base use Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu MATE, Linux Mint, or PopOS.
Lucas Roberts
I'm running it right now, and it's more or less fine. But i've only been using Steam so far, i'll delve into Lutris in a bit.
Ryder Sullivan
Lutris is superb. Basically anything significant that's not on Steam has a Lutris build and it just werks
Blake Cooper
get a low latency kernel
mesa 19+ or git
up to date gpu drivers
and you're good with any distro
ubuntu seems ok
Jacob White
Lutris is good but if you need to install something pirated or non-listed PlayOnLinux is significantly easier and straightforward.
Isaiah Sullivan
I'm having trouble install Wine 4.0 through the terminal on Ubuntu 18.04. It keeps bringing up a 404 error when I need to use the $ sudo apt-add-repository 'deb dl.winehq.org
What do? I'm following the WineHQ instructions for the Wine Bionic release
Adam Jackson
this is some r*ddit tier technically correct niggerdry.
Bentley Lopez
Works fine on Linux Mint 19. Are you sure you're using the correct Ubuntu version?
Here's what I did:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -nc dl.winehq.org
sudo apt-key add winehq.key
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb dl.winehq.org
sudo apt update
Try copy-pasting from here. Now just install stable or dev build with "sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable" or "sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-devel"
Michael Lopez
I've been trying to install a GOG game with it, but it seems to be breaking, according to the forums seem to say that Lutris is broken when installing native linux games on GOG
Thomas Baker
/v/ doesnt even know what linux or windows is you fat slob
Alexander Hughes
I'll try that. I'm pretty sure that Bionic applies for the 18.04.02 Ubuntu relrase, right? I'll follow up soon. Thanks, pal.
Ethan Moore
Does distro actually matter? As long as you can install graphics card drivers and steam, which should be most mainstream distros, it probably doesnt matter
Henry Murphy
I've used it before, runs fine when you run the normal gnome-session instead of the ubuntu session. But yeah, shit defaults and horrible visuals
Jaxson Murphy
You don't really need Lutris for that, just double click the .sh file and run it as a normal installer. You can add a shortcut to Lutris later if you really want to, but it's faster to just open your start/app menu and search for the game rather than using a separate launcher (Lutris) and then opening the game. The whole idea of game launchers is autistic and backwards. Use Lutris as just an installer for WINE games or listed/supported games.
It should. Sometimes formatting gets in the way when copy-pasting from the web browsers. Though I haven't used Ubuntu LTS in forever so I have no idea if that version specifically has issues.
Oliver Ross
I'm still getting the same error after using that command: sudo apt-add-repository 'deb dl.winehq.org
Any other solutions? Just reinstall Ubuntu and hope that works?
Brayden Lopez
The typical GNU/Linux experience.
Hunter Hughes
Shows i'm a fucking nerd, most of the games i like are already native to Linux.
Logan Myers
Dubs give me strength
Nolan Hughes
In that case go into your software and updates and check to see if you've already added the repository. You may have added it twice so just delete extras. Worst case scenario you'll have to revert to default repos.
Cameron Fisher
For me it's streaming games from my desktop via Steam In-Home streaming feature
Eli Johnson
So far i'm finding it incredibly natural, gnome is fine, i swapped the default Ubuntu dock with Dash2Dock but as a whole i'm finding it snappy and intuitive, terminal shenanigans aren't too steep a learning curve, but 90% has been copy and paste.
Only ongoing issue is Pulseaudio seems to fail intermittently giving me static-y audio, but it's more or less solved with just a terminal command.
Carter Miller
Woah! That definitely looks like it was the issue. It appears I've added this repository a fuckton of times. I'm going to see if this works. Thanks, buddy.
Zachary Butler
To be honest i think one of my long term projects is going to be a home server with it's own dedicated GPUs for streaming to my client computers.
Caleb Morgan
>fuckton of times
Weird. I thought apt throws a warning and ignores duplicate entries.
Brody Moore
It works well, but I probably wouldn't do fast paced fps on it.
Currently playing witcher 3 and it's comfy to play on my small bed laptop with modest specs but maxed out
Robert Bell
never install non-lts *buntus
Jordan Nelson
It worked. Thank you so much, pal. Now I can get back to work.
Isaac Hernandez
How's KDE Neon for gayming? What about non-botnet *buntu distros in general?
Hudson Torres
Yup. All Steam GNU/Linux games are tested in Ubuntu.
Nicholas Jones
>Does distro actually matter?
Sort-of. Intel's got their own not very popular distribution called Clear Linux and they are doing some pretty darn interesting things with it. Their kernel has some patches not commonly used and they have a lot of special configuration options for the kernel. Clear Linux really does perform better than the rest of the distributions both when running games and specially doing things like database workloads.
Apart from that.. which driver version and so on is used matters. Distributions using old software and old MESA - like Debian stable - tend to perform worse than something using more bleeding edge versions of packages.
But... generally speaking, if you run the same desktop with basically the same X version and MESA version then there's little difference between one distribution and another. See
two distributions using the MESA 19 graphics stack will probably perform pretty much the same, but a distribution based on something much older like MESA 10 will be different.
Parker Brown
OH NONONONONO
Lincoln Roberts
>not gentoo
kys
Austin Wood
Yeah its okay
Can play almost all games that came before 17
Anything current like sekiro will maybe need another month or two to run properly
Adam Martin
you can probably play most of your steam library either via native support, proton or wine. it's either it works 100% (granted might need additional dependencies/wine tweaks) or not at all.
Hunter Reyes
I would agree that Ubuntu is the best Linux distribution for gaming. Besides the support of several game catalogs, it also arguably has the most support for the easy deployment of graphics drivers as well as other hardware for laptops. Steam is probably the best client on Linux for gaming due to it's large collection on Linux games and proton (A compatibility layer for windows) . Ubuntu also has repositories for pretty much all game console emulators.
Any distro has basically the same capability as any other, It's just Ubuntu desktop is set up in a way that's optimized for consumer hardware. A configuration that games are themselves optimized for.
Also with Vulkan becoming much more prominent more and more games are being ported to Linux just because it's easier to do so. Heck, I've been playing Warhammer Total War II and while technically it doesn't run as well on Linux (It is a port) The fact that I can play an official port of it on Linux is maybe a sign that gaming on linux will become more prominent in the near future.
Jeremiah Anderson
sekiro has run perfectly since launch with proton
Ethan Roberts
Its worth it. You lose access to shitty online DRM games and thats about it.
Jaxson Collins
Yes and a million other non-AAA games or games made by small studios.
Judging by benchmarks, you'd rather be running fedora workstation instead, on some minimalistic DE.
Linux gaming is trash right now. For every game that works, there's one that doesn't. Hopefully, by 2020 Proton will be mostly glitch-free.
Connor Mitchell
isn't steam using lts?
Daniel Evans
Surprised to see this kind of retardation from Jow Forums
With Steam Proton and DXVK, Linux gaming has actually become viable.
Get with the fucking times grampa.
Owen Sanchez
Unless you like reinstalling your OS once a year, there's no reason to use the "regular" release over LTS.
Ryan Clark
>Yes, it depends on the game/hardware,
it doesn't really. dx9c has been native for a long while
Anthony Nguyen
>PoP OS
dude , it's just Ubuntu re skin
Grayson Gutierrez
Guys i'm literally retarded. Every time i've installed lunix something critical has fucked up.
If i install Ubuntu, what are the odds that i'll get everything working(wifi, mouse drivers, headset drivers, etc etc)?
I want to give it a shot, seeing as i care less about games now and more about the cia nigger menace.
Nathaniel King
Linux isn't the place to be if you don't like glowinthedarks, move to OpenBSD
John Davis
I actually tried that, i told you i am one of simple mind. BSD required too much learnin and not enough clicking next on the wizard.
Colton Garcia
You can literally hit the return key like 6 times to install OpenBSD
Elijah Peterson
Installing it isn't the problem, it's getting shit set up after that. I legit have a learning disability, so i can never quite get it down, and every time i need to do something i need to re-learn it.
I just want to be a freetard.. It might be too much.
Aiden Adams
Well if you want to escape CIAs you need to avoid systemd and SELinux which both have strong ties to NSA

Aaron Jenkins
in the case of ubuntu isn't a toss up? mostly comes down to mismatched dependencies and then you have a ppa frakenstein for newer (i.e. nightly) software
every 6 months at least the minimum is raised
Jose Sanders
You a God, God.
Xavier Diaz
Just install Ubuntu without non-free/propietary shit. The installer has a checkbox to install propietary drivers. Don't click it. Also, don't use non-free repositories.
After that, you're set. Your chances of successfully installing Ubuntu look good.
