Is it even an accurate way to measure Linux gaming? For the last two years or so, I don't even bother installing steam, I just go straight to heroic.

There are two games I always want to play, kknd and Dark Reign. But I can't get them working properly under wine.
This looks like it could be the modern version for sure.

Good stuff. I didn't even know it was psychological horror when I bought it, I just wanted to see what the fuss was about. Simple gameplay, tense feeling the whole time, and I liked the ending.

I haven’t been able to get Pacific Drive to work, some error about missing Microsoft redistributables. I’m sure I could get it working with proton tricks or something, but I have many other games to play.

If I was using an old thinkpad or the junk machine I have over in the back of my office with a 6300 and 4gb memory - absolutely XFCE or a window manager like Openbox.
In any modern setup, this isn’t making as noticeable difference in performance. If also suggest you may actually lose out on good stuff that comes with a wayland DE (if your gaming/workflow benefits from any of it).

Quoting: legluondunetFor the DE I suggest a light one to keep your resources for gaming, like XFCE.If this is a legitimate concern you’ve had to deal with, if suggest you need to caveat it with what kind of machine you’re making the recommendation for.

I loved playing Theme Park on dos, but going back to it is not so good. The charm of the game holds up, but the business sim aspects are goddamn awful and do not hold up nicely.
Any Theme Park fans played this and can recommend it?

I still wonder why Skyrim wasn’t the first in line for this. Isn’t it pretty much the most modded game in history?
