How to play games from GOG and Epic Games on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck

I use the .deb package for Heroic, it somehow always worked better to me than flatpak. And AppImage takes too long to load.

GeForce NOW on Steam Deck really can be a game-changer

I gave up and just kept dual-booting Windows, which is a better experience for free.

Except for the Windows license fee plus you are separated from your beloved Linux desktop if you want to alt+tab while gaming 😛.

A friend wants me to jump into Fortnite? Yeah, okay — not a problem!

I did Call of Duty: Warzone too but that surely requires a mouse and keyboard 🙂.

Great guide. BF4 is very playable. The only downside is having to play as Russia 💩.

Open source PS2 emulator PCSX2 v2.4 brings SDL 3, Wayland support, lots of compatibility fixes
2 Jul 2025 at 8:25 am UTC

What a turnaround from this: https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/10179 [External Link]

This is hilarious:

PCSX2 still supports Wayland. It just prefers the XCB/XWayland platform by default. You can set the I_WANT_A_BROKEN_WAYLAND_UI environment variable and experience the brokenness for yourself on the AppImage builds, or add the wayland socket to the flatpak.

:grin:

How to use MangoHud for Linux game performance monitoring
1 Jul 2025 at 11:56 am UTC Likes: 1

How to install it?

$ sudo apt install mangohud

:tongue:

Yes, yes, I know :grin: it says so here:

Certain distributions also have a mangohud package in their repositories, but they're not always up to date. And the install method is different for each individual distribution. The above method covers all.
