Linux gaming

UPDATE

About halfway through Dragon Age 2.

About a dozen crashes to desktop on Dragon Age Origins. I don’t think any crashes on the expansion Dragon Age Awakening. I was getting more crashes per day on windows than the entire 80-90ish hours it took me to get through the entire game and expansion on Linux.

I didn’t have Dragon Age 2 on GOG so had to instal from Steam. It installed and instantly worked perfect - didn’t change anything from settings above. Don't think I’ve had a single crash so far - knock on wood.

I’ve been keeping Nobara Linux updated whenever I see an update. It’s working flawlessly though it throws a weird error as it loads but it doesn’t seem to affect anything. Just another random Linux weirdness. 

I've had zero crashes surfing the web or using any other programs. Unless you’re using supper high rez games with mods Linux seems more stable and usable than Windows now for light computing.

My system is a gaming rig. 2080ti, intel 9700k, 64gigs ram, 1tb Samsung evo hd. But by today’s standard dated and underpowered so any new decent system probably going to run Linux fine.  Seems snappier than Windows 10. About same as 11.

With windows trying to close off people being able to use win 11 bypassing secure boot (for systems that don’t have necessary hardware), and all the stupid things they are adding like taking screenshots and uploading them to Microsoft all the time… Linux is now a solid alternative.

I would not say that a couple years ago. Had to constantly use command line and was a pain in the rear. Not had to open command line a single time this time around with Nobara.

I’d finally recommend this for all users. 



Seems I’m not only one who feels this about Nobara Linux. Here is something is just found from Zdnet
Quote:Forget Windows 11: Nobara Linux is the OS for everyoneIf you've soured on Windows 11 and are looking for something that's more secure, reliable, customizable, and can serve as your gaming console, Nobara Linux might be it…

As I said earlier, Nobara isn't just for gamers. After using this Linux distribution for a while, it's quite clear that anyone (no matter the experience) could hop onto this desktop operating system and feel right at home...
Just a quick note. He is factually incorrect when he says you can only run Linux games on Steam. I covered in post above how to go into settings on Steam and click to be able to run windows games. Mileage may vary as DAO got to a point and quit on Steam and had to run GOG version, but Dragon age 2 from Steam working perfect.


So yeah. Nobara is best version I’ve used and I’m loving it.
