I only have a stability issue with a single game and it is one I gave an example on my op, Satisfactory but that is since the latest update so I'll eat and see before I say it's something to do with the OS.
Thank you for the suggestions. I'll def be looking at new flavour of distros as my knowledge of Linux expands. Garuda was just the first one that made me jump.
After contemplating for 3-4 years about switching my main rig to Linux, I did it on Friday just gone.
Note for the below, I have a full AMD system.
I went with Garuda Dragonized distro as it is gaming focused and has all the game related stuff included.
took me less than 30mins going from gaming on Win11 to Linux, but I did the research before.
there are a few tweaks if you use Steam but you have Lutris to help you.
of the 35 ish games installed, all of them work without issues, but they need updating once you enable compatibility to Proton.
the default theme is too flashy but you can select to bring it down a few notches
Technical
if you have secondary SSD or HDD, dedicated to games or files like I did, it is advisable to have them backed up to an external drive as you will need to re-partition them from NTFS to use them properly in Linux
with Garuda Dragonized Gaming, all drivers are installed but follow the Wizard at the beginning and check all that apply to you. It will save you time.
Good luck and looking forward to having you on Linux!
So erm... I read your paragraph on Wondersong and thought, "that sounds amazing, I must get". Go to the game page "this game is already in your library"...... Fine fine, I'll get on with my backlog.
I have been using uBlock for a long time, but since I've pair it with PiHole in my house at least, there have been no ads, even on my TV. I highly recommend people do this for their house by getting a RaspberryPi or an old PC with Linux to sit on their network, it has some setup and learning curve, but once you deploy it, you don't have to fiddle with it, apart from updating it once a month.
I like the wishes of the creators saying they want to be used for good causes, but we all know the true case of these types of machines, military, which is exactly what gundam is.
I finally got the time to sit and play on my car sim ( Assetto Corsa / competezione) after more than a year. For the first fewsessions, I forgot how to take corners but now I'm back into it and it is an amazing feeling when you nail a race from start to finish.
For your #1 point, have you heard of Palia? It got released last month and it is a chill have where you gather and build your house. Additionally you can explore ruins to uncover your origins.
Hopefully our grandkids will play a game like that, or be it in real life by the time it is complete.... I'm saying that as someone who backed in 2013 and have about 2k worth of ships.
I got 5k hours in WoW up to Cataclysm and 10k+ how in FFXIV (beta tester from 1.0). I think the story telling of WoW up to WoTLK, was told amazingly well and it had a strong point, but BC was even better. Things rapidly declined from Cataclysm and this is why I never got back, whereas I've stuck with FFXIV for 13 years.
I will start.
I want to see a game that mashes factory building with either FPS or RTS, where one or more players create a supply chain inside a zone/factory and the other one or more players utilise the ammo, weapons, vehicle etc.
Get Mozilla Firefox and add uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and Ghostery plugins.
For over the top action, but a Raspberry Pi with an ethernet port and install PiHole and change your router DNS to the IP address of the PiHole and bask in glory that 99.999% of the crap out there, will not come or go out of your household.
