Gaming on Linux PC

[GytisRepecka]

Greetings to all PC gamers 🎮

Have you ever thought of playing PC games on Linux-powered PC or laptop? Yes, that is more than possible 🤓 So I wanted to start a thread on this topic just as on Lithuanian Community.

For the past several years I've been playing following games on Linux Mint (a flavor of Ubuntu):

• Assassin's Creed: Unity (via Lutris/Wine)
• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (via Lutris/Wine)
• Mafia (original) (via PlayOnLinux/Wine)
• Mafia: Definitive Edition (remake) (via Steam/Proton)
• My Summer Car (via Steam/Proton)

I must say experience was great 👍 Except for finding the right Bluetooth controller: several Windows-compatible controllers had inverted analog axis, therefore couldn't really use. Had to get Android-compatible controller to play properly.

Most heavy-lifting to run a typical Windows game on Linux is to pass it through WINE which is very complicated to configure therefore specialized lauchers like Lutris or PlayOnLinux exists.

Steam offers native Linux client which has custom running layer - Proton - it is based on WINE.

Mate this is a samsung members community I think we will stick to the samsung stuff 😆

I play games via PlayOnLinux and Steam (kubuntu now but it worked as well on manjaro too). Gaming on a PC with Samsung components or a Monitor for example qualifies such discussions being valid topics here.

It all applies just fine on Samsung laptops and monitors 😁

Hey,

My Samsung G7 JOGS is KO after 1 year...

Amazon refund me, and I would like to get the Samsung G9 but I have some questions here.

70% of my usage is for development (macOS) so I am convinced that the G9 is good for that, I could launch 3 or 4 apps in fullscreen...

But I play much, mainly competitive games (Valorant, Halo Infinite, BF2042, etc).

My question is, can we play at 1440p@240hz on a "virtual" center screen? So I could play at 100fps + with my 3080RTX.
