My fellow Linux Gamers, how do you DO IT?? I mean, my laptop is not some beast (it was 5 years ago, but now is old and tired) but it was able to run (not the smoothies way possible) games like Dishonored 2 on windows, but now that i am full-time Ubuntu user and i am stuck to minimal games i ask myself:

HOW DO YOU RUN SOMETHING POST-MARIO ON THIS SHIT?? i even tried wine with play on linux and even Gothic 1 runs like a slug..

Please, help a fellow gamer and linux enthusiast to understand where to look for a more performant experience 😔

    That's the one reason I don't use Linux.... Get your shit together Linux!

    Steam on Linux will actually take you a long way on semi-decent hardware.

    Some titles, however, might require you to keep aids, errrm windoze around and dual boot.

    To deal with windoze's bullshit after installing in one fell swoop:

    I just play console games now. PCs are for software development. :p

    You can create a Windows VM and pass your GPU through.

    @bezorp I have a PS4. Java takes enough RAM as it is.

    I have an nvidia gpu which was kind of good years ago (and still pull its weight) but i barely can find a good driver from nvidia, so besides that famous "fuck you, nvidia!" of torvalds, can it be efficiently used with a vm?

    @KennyTheBard Yeah, they can run with full GPU performance.

    Dishonored 2 was poorly optimized on the pc. You will probably find yourself struggling to run it

    @andros705 yeah, my drivers should get a little more attention, but i can only find 2 or 3 drivers from nvidia for the ENTIRE linux systen -.-'
