What have you been playing recently? We've been tinkering with a Raspberry Pi 4

Upgraded my Linux PC to a Ryzen 5 3600 with 16gb DDR4, still using the RX480 though....Basically retired my headless Windows gaming box (using Parsec), gave it's GTX 980 to my son and rebuilt this PC with it's motherboard/ram/cpu. Decided I needed the cpu grunt more for the music stuff I do than for the few games I played on Windows that wouldn't run under wine/proton.
Also discovered Lutris is much better than I thought, I'd just assumed it was a Wine frontend all these years and didn't really need another one of those...How wrong was I? It's FANTASTIC. It's replaced PoL for me, still keeping Crossover though, as being an advocate for a few apps I'll keep running those on it.
Also redid the entire home network with ethernet now going to every room in the house (except the bathroom lol) and even found some time to play No Man's Sky and some Elder Scrolls Online (must update my tutorial video's for that, as it's now pretty much plug n play now lol)
And finally, switched to KDE Plasma....not used that since KDE3! I've been a cinnamon desktop user for years since, but decided to try plasma out again...loving it :)

edit: ALso got a pi4 a few months ago, it's set up in my bedroom attached to a 40 inch TV, used to stream games from my desktop or just general TV box use...it's great...though more just a slightly amped version of the Pi3 setup I have attached to the TV in living room. May swap them over though.

Quoting: robiniseenbanaanHow is the Battleye support in 3.6? Can anyone test?
I attempted to run H1Z1, it managed to Install the battleye service, but wouldn't launcher would not launch the game. Was going to try Fortnite Battle Royale, but couldn't get the epic games launcher to run, despite various suggestions on Appdb

I'd like to try dxvk on it. I would be so glad to play space engineer on linux !
Anyone has already tried ?
DXVK works fine, as I was playing ESO using dxvk, no idea on space engineers yet, but I'll give it a try asap.
