BTRFS for Linux gaming?
  • So I set up my system with btrfs in the last days and I converted two external drives (from ext4) (mainly game) and run defrag and balance, because it was mentioned in a guide to compress the existing files. Was that a bad idea? Didn't read anything about duplicates.

  • [SOLVED] Games not running
  • Do you have MangoHud installed? Last week I couldn't run any proton game on my system until I uninstalled it/ removed the MANGOHUD=1 variable haven't had this problem before, but something broke. Proton and wine were stuck at launching, no error messages/ logs, etc. drove me nuts.

  • ELI5 the whole Wayland vs X11 going on.
  • I am on arch and use both KDE+Wayland/X11 on my 3060ti and for me wayland still has lots of visual glitches, some programs flicker, sometimes the plasma bar is frozen, etc., etc.. Gaming is hit or miss. But I can say, the things that do work are a lot smoother than on X11.

  • What is everyone getting this Steam sale?
  • I got Last Command, a snake-like bullet hell game and Copy Kitty, which is like Mega Man mixed with Kirby and lots of explosions, so far.
    Maybe I will snag Rabi Ribi and I am considering getting the DLC for Dark Souls 2, I am torn between just the DLC and the Scholar of the First Sin Edition. Heard they added more enemies, and that sounds awful. Lost my save files, so it wouldn't matter anyway.

  • Whats a game that everybody seems to love that you cant stand for one reason or another?
    1. Kingdom Hearts: I played the first for some time and watched some videos of the series, but I don't get the appeal. The character design is strange, the story does not hit me on an emotional level and the Disney characters... Just no.

    2. Final Fantasy: Played 7 and X and just like Kingdom Hearts, it just did not hit me on any level. It is strange, because I love JRPGs like the Legend of Heroes series.

  • What are peoples thoughts on games requiring always online? How does it affect your enjoyment of those games?
  • I don't like always online games.
    Some years ago a friend asked me to play Diablo 3 together, so I bought it and tried it in singleplayer to get familiar with it, since that was the first time playing a Diablo game.
    I got very hard lag - in a singleplayer session and lost the connection to the server several times.
    It was such an awful experience that I couldn't bring myself to play it online anymore.

  • How many steam deck folks are here and what are you playing?
  • I love my Steam Deck and use it for smaller indie titles I can play for a short time through the week.
    At the moment I play Flood of Light, which works pretty well despite being a game relying heavily on mouse controls.
    And as a second: Super Panda Adventure. A surprisingly fun metroidvania.
    Casette Beasts is next, already played about an hour, but I want to finish the others first.

  • Comfort games?
  • I have several comfort games to put my mind at ease sometimes.

    At least once a year it is Skyrim with mods to improve the scenery.

    But I love playing the Atelier series too. Crafting and optimizing stuff in these games is great.

    And then there are puzzle games like Baba is You where I often just close the game and think about solving the problems for a long time. Helps to keep your mind occupied.
