I played Alien: Isolation start to finish on Wayland last year. Could be something else youre facing, or a recent regression.

Even as I write this, I still don't think I truly grasp the ramifications of this. How Valve is so ridiculously ahead of the entire industry including Microsoft, Apple and Google with making computing (and gaming) on ARM a thing.

I don't know how more popular these little ARM chips are going to be in the future, but thanks to the open source community and largely Valve, the platform just got a whole lot more viable now.

Good, lets get rid of these terrible companies like Activation/Blizzard etc that block Linux and release terrible games.
From what I understand, Blizzard is actually one of the few if not the only Dev out there to do anti-cheat right. Overwatch uses a server-side anti-cheat last I checked.

What is the correlation here, where actually worthwhile and not predatory multiplayer games, made by passionate devs and not a committee work on Liunx ? :whistle:

Sometimes I feel like I WANT Fedora KDE to break on me.... It's too damn stable :woot:

VKD3D-Proton 3.0 brings FSR4 support, shader backend rewrite, lots of bug fixes and performance upgrades

Wonder if some of the Proton forks like GE will include the FSR4 flags for other GPUs, or is this not how this works ?

Assetto Corsa Rally has arrived in Early Access - should work well on Linux / Steam Deck
14 Nov 2025 at 5:30 pm UTC

How sim-heavy are these games ? I'm highly interested in a good Rally game, as long as it's fun with a controller and doesn't require the steering wheel etc.

Open to other Rally game recommendations as well :smile:

I realize most Linux folks don't like the Ubi launcher
Not only Linux folks. Ubisoft Connect was the bane of my existence and one of the more annoying things I had to deal with when I was on Windows. It needed updates every goddamn time I wanted to play R6 Siege. And it was obnoxiously amensic, asking me for my credentials in what feels like every single time I have to launch it to play the game, the 'Remember me' button didn't work. Not to mention the extra 1-2 min I'd have to sit for it to initialize or steal my data or something before Siege properly launches. The overlay is also garbage as it's very slow and unresponsive at times.

Probably the shittiest launcher out there as I had better luck with the likes of EA launcher which was notorious itself but admittedly less so recently, as they must've gotten their shit together.

I haven't used the Ubisoft launcher in months, so all of what I said could very well be outdated by now.
