GamingOnLinux · Steam Beta finally enables Proton on Linux fully, making Linux gaming simplerBy Liam Dawe

Ich bin am zocken!
Mittlerweile selten geworden, kommt aber doch vor.
"Encased", ein post-apocalyptisches top down 3D Science Fiction Rollenspiel ... das in den 70ern spielt.
Allein das hat mich schon hellhörig gemacht.
Bin jetzt, nicht mitgezählt, 4 bis 8 Stunden drin, habe Ewigkeiten für das Tutorial gebraucht (weil ich jeden Winkel erkunden wollte) und ja, gutes Spiel, die Möglichkeiten sind riesig.
In #Unity gehalten, nativ für #Linux, DE-Texte und derzeit auf #GOG für 3 statt 30€.
Das ist etwas weniger als ein halber Döner!
Ich meine ja nur.

In diesem Sinne: Viel Spaß!

🔥 To all #Supertuxkart fans: make the explosions completely crazy and the game even more fun with these custom files. Simply replace the original files in your installation with the customized files (in your sfx folder).
⚠️ Backup the original files before
🙏 Many thanks to ‘Crystal Da Eevee’ for kindly providing me with these files.

Using the native GeforceNOW Steam-Deck app (Flatpak) on a Linux desktop computer with an AMD GPU does work amazing:

It does use HW Acceleration for the HEVC video decoding, which makes it extremely efficient and snappy. Currently it's only working with AMD GPUs.

# Add Flatpak Repo
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists GeForceNOW international.download.nvidia.

# Install GFN
flatpak install --user GeForceNOW com.nvidia.geforcenow

# DIsabling Wayland ; Forching GFN to use X11/XWayland:
flatpak override --user --nosocket=wayland com.nvidia.geforcenow

# Getting the Log-In link from the Log-File
tac ~/.var/app/com.nvidia.geforcenow/.local/state/NVIDIA/GeForceNOW/console.log | grep starfleet/o-auth | head -n 1

# Launching GeforceNOW via gamescope compositor
gamescope -f -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 120 -- flatpak run com.nvidia.geforcenow

The performance is *significantly* better than in desktop browsers :)

Another tough day in #valheim today. Got raided by Draughr during base building and got uhm.. swamped and died. When I finally got to the actual swamp, I ran into another abonimation. My daughter cheered as I fought it and after going through an obscene number of fire arrows, it finally collapsed. Not much exploring, no iron found. At least my pet rock likes its dandelion hat.

Linux schließt in Sachen Gaming zu Microsoft auf. Mit Nobara gibt es auch ein fertiges Gaming- und Streaming-Setup für User, die es einfach mögen.

Krotus Computer verkauft Gaming-PC's mit Nobara vorinstalliert.

Wenn's gut läuft, kräht in ein paar Jahren kein Hahn mehr nach Windows.

De cara a las vacaciones de verano estoy pensando en tratar de organizar algún que otro campeonato de juegos libres, como SuperTuxKart, Xonotic, Battle for Wesnoth, 0ad, etc.

En un principió serian en fin de semana, así si los que quieran participar en alguno y les pille trabajando entre semana, puedan apuntarse. A, y da igual si juegas en Linux, Windows, Mac, etc.
