An ultimate guide that isn't more than a hour?
Wow
great video
i see a lot of windows gaming on linux
but some info for android gaming on linux would be nice too
for exemple how to set up an android virtual machine with virgl support.
@jt thorsson let me explain where you are wrong
android is the biggest gaming platform ,chrome os is compatible with it
both use linux too,
raspberry pi and other mini consoles are linux based.
mac os (soon compatible with ios) and ios are bsd based ,the ps4 and ps3 os are bsd based too.... so linux/bsd was always somewhat the n1 gaming platform...
jt thorsson linux will ALWAYS* matter in gaming as the guy above me said ;)
@@Tailslol Not sure aboou virgl support but couple, of years back I played CoC on emulated Samsung thru Genymotion (requires Virtualbox too, I believe). Heard about Bluestack too.
This man made me switch windows to linux❤
Same

@William Schnee Hey HEY! Watch it whipper-snapper! :)
He helped me a fair bit just after I switched, and helped me to encourage a friend to switch
My eyes want to thank you for using a dark theme. =)
Kropotkin would have used Arch and would have written pamphlets telling Lenin not to use Manjaro, as those shortcuts in Gnu/linuxism-Leninism will poison the well of revolutionary Linux thought from the very start
i used arch for like 5 months such a lovely distro
if someone believes this it's a damn lie just as any service that claims to hack instagram , fb , twitter, etc... if you want to hack an instagram acount you have to learn how to hack and not be a script kiddie looking for sh1t like this
Let's all pray to the computer gods that Valve manages to get EAC and other anti-cheats on board with Proton / Wine / Linux.
EDIT: 2022 ==> Oh snap, Steam Deck incoming!
i'm hearing that EAC is actually being worked on at the moment
There is a beta of wine that works with eac, fps is currently like 10-20 lower than windows because esync and fsync dont work yet but its on the way
EAC is already working on some pre-releases of Wine but it's not clear yet if people get banned or not. So it's recommended to only use it with secondary accounts for now. There are also multiple games using more than one anticheat mechanism (for example BattleEye and EAC). That's why there is still a lot of progress to be made. But it's all currently in development and there is an active discussion with multiple developers from the anticheat software side. Some of them even try to make their stuff compatible with Linux or Wine instead of just waiting for the Wine- and Proton devs getting it done.
Another good thing is that the Linux kernel shall get some functionality soon, so allow Wine redirecting syscalls from some anticheat software to its own handles which should improve compatibility and tweak performance as well. Currently it seems possible to get it into the kernel 5.9. So I would expect in one or at maximum two years from now we could reach something like 99% compatibility of all Windows games. Maybe way more early than I expect... it's hard to tell with that growing effort and development in that community. ^^'
Wine is working on eac but epic is trying to make them stop

I just move to manjaro 2 days ago, struggling with all the set up and you release this???
Then its god's will that i move to linux. Thanks man
Can you read my mind
just a hour ago i thought there was no perfect updated linux gaming guide and here you're making my wish come true like a genie
genie*
Jean Genie let yourself go ...
@@artmcteagle THANKS 🤗🤗
your mind is very simple , everyone can read it
a massive thank you to Chris for this extremely helpful guide.
I wanted to make the move from windohs and the main thing I play is WoW and all of this setup I think really helped with getting that running smoothly.
thanks Chris - you are an absolute star
Wow! Great job Chris! Thank you for making the process (relatively) simple.
thanks for the video man. these tweaks made a huge difference. your hard work is greatly appreciated.
Just when I've started backing up my stuff to install manjaro!
Thanks
Great video! I've just switched from Windows and this is what I was looking for!
Thanks from Lima, Peru.
Thanks Chris! Every video you make is awesome, even if I already knew the information!😁😁😁
Wonderful. Concise. Easy to replicate. Now if only I had the hardware and game titles. Thanks again for another great video.
gzz for think on those who dont want to spend a few hours watching a boring video about gaming guide, u make it more easier and fast, thank you
Wow Chris. You are incredible. Just one year and a half ago you were starting to use Linux as you main driver being a super heavy windows user. And now you know so much about linux! There is no doubt that you are really passionate when it comes to software technology.
Super job Chris... now I will be setting up a Linux system for gaming and work...
Thankyou for the previous video about you and youtube. I have started my editing channel successfully 😊😊
thank you for your tutorials again
Awesome content, as always. I'll save it in my useful videos playlist. :D
@@dolier2802 I assumed it was awesome before watching it. Lmao.
Didn't know gamemode existed! It really saved my sanity. I/O priority was needed, no more chops!!! Thanks Chris!
One of the best CZcams videos I've ever seen
Great work man
Baldur's Gate 2 AND Hollow Knight?! I see you're a man of culture as well!
Beautiful guide dude I've been struggling with getting Sekiro and Dark souls to run on Pop_OS for whatever reason and this guide saveddd me. Awesome I love using Linux so much dude
Thank you, Chris. Not for me but I can see how useful this would be. Saved so I can point people to it easily.
Love your videos Chris! :) Because of you i now have gone over to game on linux. Your guides are so easy to follow and the way you explain things are just so understandable. Thank you! :) actually got better fps on GTA running on linux! :) It is so goood to finally get rid of windows! Keep up the great work!!!!
Thank you Chris. It's awesome. Keep up the good work.
This is a good one too. Don't know how I missed a linux gaming video from you! Keep them coming! Steam Deck soon!
You made it fit in 15min. This as amazing as you promised
great guide Chris !! much is appreciated
I'm surprised I haven't seen something like this before. I started Linux gaming about a year ago, and migrated to AMD in February, and always wondered where to get a comprehensive list of what packages/drivers/etc to get the most out of the platform. Thanks, Chris!
Nicely done you made way easier thanks for the amazing content well done
Thank you Chris. Great video.
I need to put that video of yours into my favorites.
Probably going to forget it sits there but I sure remember you did such a video at some point then.
Set up gpu-passthrough recently myself, now I use my RX580 for Linux and the 5700 for Windows which is passed through from my NVMe drive which makes me smile since the games I play the most on it are Minecraft Bedrock and VR stuff anyway 😃
Most other stuff I play runs just fine under Linux anyway, so hooray for that video!
Awesome work! Thank you
Amazing work. Thank you for providing such quality content. I am not a gamer but still, this is great Linux learning video for me.
Omg Thanks Chris :D
Thank you very much for this guide! :)
Now finally you picked up my favorite topic gaming
Thanks, just got my games runnning on linux as good as windows does. Helps me a lot making the transition from one os to the other !
Greetings to you sir. I just wanted to take a moment of your time and thank you for your wonderful Linux video. I had been a Windows User for many many years since Windows 3.x. I have worked with Windows my entire life. I knew Linux was available but I always assumed Windows was better as it was written by a team of developers and did not really understand what open source was and how it worked. So I continued using Windows through to Windows 10 in my desktop pc and Windows 7 on my laptop. I tried upgrading to Windows 10 on my laptop and it was shockingly slow even after adding drivers. Back to Windows 7 for laptop. At the beginning of the year my laptops hard drive failed and I had lost my backup cd luck me! Because I was unable to reinstall Windows. I watched some of your Linux videos and it got we wondering. I installed Linux Mint 19.3 xfce and was pleasantly surprised how well it ran. Months latter after watching your video my laptop can now ssh into my desktop or nas drive using keys. My terminal looks great and my games and applications are incredibly stably. The OS has never crashed, I have not had a single failed update and I hardly ever have to reboot and it hasn’t slowed down over time! I have been so impressed with your videos giving me Linux knowledge and the confidence to wipe Windows 10 from my Primary PC which is an AMD 2700X. Again rock solid, fast, stable and very little reboot time. In all honesty it has shocked me how good Linux runs on my fairly new desktop and my very old pc. I asked myself why can’t Windows 10 be this fast, stable and reliable. I have now upgraded to Linux Mint 20 on both computers and I truly wish I had discovered Linux years ago. Thank you sir!
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS WORK SIR!
amazing guide thanks Chris!
Thanks Chris! Excellent video
Thank you Chris. You totally rock! \m/
I was looking for some tips that how to get into the Linux gaming and boom u were there!!!! Nice!!👍
Chris Titus Tech Thank you very much for this tutorial. My computer is faster than before and some games that were difficult for me to emulate now run smoothly and perfectly. Chris you are the man!
Thank you so much ima chrome book gamer and this made my chrome book run like a beast
Thank you Chris Titus Tech for making such an awesome guide! I spent over a hundred dollars to upgrade my CPU so I could run Windows 11 only to be told my CPU was NOT compatible and spent over 3 hours waiting for Microsoft to help me because my CPU WAS on the compatible list. They didn't help me at all. I have since quit using Windows on my personal computer and am running Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon. But since I repair computers too I keep Windows 10 on my work laptop. I installed retropie AND I follaowed your guide and got my Windows games working TOO! I just want to thank you so much for making this guide.
Hey Chris, absolutely great video!
One note though is that some of the commands you put for us won't run properly in terminal if an entire block of multiple lines of different commands is just copied and pasted into the terminal.
For example, the custom proton segment, you can only make the file executable after it's already downloaded, so your terminal did not execute the chmod command and threw and error.
It's better to run them one by one or in a script.
It is better one by one, but people want things now and fast. If you pause the video where I had an error you will notice that I forgot "chmod" when doing the +x command. I have since fixed this. might make a github script for people to use in the future that walks people through a bash script as that would be more elegant.
@@ChrisTitusTech Thank you for replying and clarifying 😄
Again, awesome video, and it really motivated me to install steam on my Linux boot.
@@ChrisTitusTech question: do i have to download dxvk or is that not somthing you download?
I want to dump windblows for kde neon when rdna2 gpus come out.
Very Well sit it my friend Chris keep up great work
This is a great guide for optimizing linux for gaming. I wanted to add a couple things I do to prevent stuttering.
First, you don't want compositing to be enabled while gaming, it's like putting vertical sync on but worse because it's at an OS level and not the game rendering it. I use Linux Mint Xfce edition with compositing disabled. As long as your browser, video player or other app uses hardware acceleration there's no screen tearing issues while on the desktop.
Instead of game mode, I use corectrl. It's a program for overclocking the GPU and setting up the CPU power mode. On bootup I have it apply performance mode for my CPU, Ryzen 2700x and it applies my undervolt/OC for my Vega 64.
When I start gaming I use corectrl force the GPU to use a fixed mode for high performance. This prevents micro stuttering caused by things like the vram clock bouncing from 2D idle clocks to full 3D clocks while gaming by locking it at max speeds.
These two things are what kills stuttering and micro stuttering for me while gaming on linux, disable compositing and locking 3d clock rates in.
We should make ansible playbook for this guide. It's amazing !!!
hmm, might be worth working on, anyone wanna make a repo?
Thanks, Chris.
There arent many legends in youtube.....but this man is definitely one.....
Thanks. I wasn't sure what all the settings did.
@Chris Titus Tech
For in the future when you make a similar video like this I recommend you to clearly point out which steps are distro-agnostic (like the environment-variable for ACO) and which are distro-specific. Especially because this video is targeted to the novice Linux-users. Also you can easily bundle a tutorial for Ubuntu/Mint/popOS and Arch in one video with different commands. Same packages, sometimes different names. The process is pretty much similar. In Arch you enable the community repositories, in Ubuntu/Mint you add PPA's. Same principle.
This is great. I can't wait for some free time to setup a Linux box entirely on Mint and test it out for gaming. Really awesome!
Btw I absolutely love your enviroment customization here. Have you done a video or live stream about it? 'Cause it will be great for me to watch and try something similar 💪
i back that up ! please chris just some easy work
I was also curious about this such as what terminal mod this is etc.
have you tried already? what are your experiencs with linux gaming?
the wizard is back! ;D
loving the thumbnail!
this is amazing, i bookmarked this for when i inevitably distro hop... hahahaha
nice one @chris❤️
Thanks so much for the video Titus and all the work on the support page on your site. Being semi fossilised myself, I don't understand the current obsession with doing everything incredibly quickly, as if life in the information age wasn't frenetic enough - is it a You Tube algorithm thing? For any one else in my shoes, (slippers if I'm being really honest), I find setting the playback speed to 0.75 makes for MUCH more pleasant viewing.
thank you vey much chris : )
good stuff!
Just set almost all this up on openSUSE tumbleweed. Working great, ACO really helps with StarCraft 2 not stuttering on unviewed areas of the map.
You are a freaking beast Chris, thank you very much for this guide. This is: 14:18
Thank you very much!
Bruh, this is amazing. Custom kernel gave me noticably better desktop experience!
thx dude for the help
Dude, awesome video and brilliant documentation! If distrophoppin has anything good, is you thinking about more than one distro packages/commands 🤣.
(Now, remember you have a laptop with fedora, and add some dnf magic there, haha)
Very good work, thanks again!
thanks for your efforts, may your fps never falter and game never crash ;0
Great video
I’m currently using my secondary pc which I build using old parts I had had laying around and a rx 570 I got on sale 2 days ago. The specs are i7 2600, 10GB DDR3 1333MHz(1x 8GB and 1x2GB), XFX rx 570. Using ACO I got a boost of 10-15fps in DOOM Eternal which allows me to run the game at Ultra Nightmare settings at 1080p with 60+ fps. Thanks Chris!
jt thorsson no u
Neat, now I really need to get an AMD CPU to try out ACO!
Your a gaming God! Thank you!
THATS PRETTY DARN POWERFUL
You really read my mind.
great video
i see a lot of windows gaming on linux
but some info for android gaming on linux would be nice too
for exemple how to set up an android virtual machine with virgl support.
man this is cool!!! i tried custom proton with path of exile (and other games) a few days ago but it didn't work. I'll try again with all the previous steps and see what happens. I'm not new to linux but new to linux gaming...
Anyone have any issues with laptops. Maybe not like modern ones but 5-6 years old, not gaming laptops. For example I have a laptop with 840m nvidia gpu and intel gpu. My testing with this machine for a certain game was always a failure. The game is heroes of the storm. Installed from lutris and followed the lutris guide for gaming setup. Idk but for some reason lutris always comes up with a dxvk is not enable or something along these line. Couple days ago something came to my mind and I've done that which is solved the problem. Still I am not 100% sure the only differences I made from my past failures is installing intel libraries and drivers and that probably solved my issue. For some reason things actually don't work like desktop pcs or atleast thats what I am experiencing.
As for the video, thank you very much for making these videos. Even tho I am a windows user, your videos really made me interested in linux and trying things out. Thank you.
Awsome!
Nvidia drivers is easy to get especially in Arch and Ubuntu. I recommend using nvidia proprietary drivers to run some games with requiring proprietary vulkan drivers. Rivals of Aether is one of them.
Great guide
What i like to see asa new guid is how to add a HD in linux
I did it this wekend and i must say it takes a bit of research how to set it up as a new pop os user
Mango HUD. It's like hot sauce, I put the sh*t on everything! Chris has a video on it.... got me hooked!
Fucking awesome man. Best gaming on Linux guide ever
Great video ! Lots of disk space gained ! Most of all my Steam Games won't run anymore ! Need to uninstall them ! So cool :D
Come on dude. stop trolling.
Some poor soul here is actually gonna believe that.
@@jamesrock7626 So what ? That is true ! Don't blame anyone but me. I followed the video and then all my proton windows games won't launch anymore. Maybe something wrong went on (sure did) but that is the pure truth.
Exactly the video I was looking for! I'll be set for some beast gaming on Linux. I just need to be set on one specific distro because I don't really know which one I prefer. I sure preferred openSUSE but I heard it isn't a great distro for gaming...
I like this video, but i am also looking for videos of Linux running games. This way I can see what games are compatible, and how well they play using wine and these options shown in the video.
If you use a RHEL distro on a hybrid laptop, do this for quick GPU switching:
switcherooctl launch -g 1 [COMMAND]
I use this as a shortcut for launching Steam on discrete.
All the thing!!! \o/
Cool video! Question: Did you notice the build error when building the custom "xanmod" (whatever it's called :) ) kernel? I'm not sure if that build error is anything to worry about or not. I did see you caught the error in the "sudo +x" command, near the end of the video.
Videos like these do a great service in helping people transition to Linux as their primary computing platform. Thanks for the great work! :)
Thanks very very much
I don't intend on gaming on Linux because I don't game much but the effort you put into all this is really amazing for our community. Thank you so much :D
Btw did you have to look for particular hardware? If I were to just get an AMD computer, I'd be golden right?
Thanks for the video Chris! On a side note, would you do one for Manjaro specifically? There are some things that come up that might need some help on. One is, I have Manjaro Cinnamon and when installing libdbus, it asks if I want to remove dbus-x11. Did some looking up and couldn't come to a final solid yes or no so, as I am learning Linux anyways, just went with removing it and going to see what messes up or if I have to reinstall Manjaro. But that was one off the top of my head I can think of. There are others but really am hitting the Cinnamon DE version as it appears to be the most popular with gaming on Manjaro.
Really hoping for more pressure on the gaming industry for Linux gaming as a whole. I am still very new to Linux but one thing I noticed right off the bat is the fact that Linux just runs so much lighter that Windows. A LOT less memory and CPU usage and far cleaner. PLUS, love that I have options on how I want my DE to look like. Just as you stated before, sadly we cannot break fully away from Windows as ther are still programs that are MS only. So for now, still have to dual boot.
What about The Ultimate Windows Gaming Guide? Nice video too!!!
I love linux but i cant play some games that i like there.
Great video. The only issue I am having is when it comes to installing Wine dependencies. One of them is not being updated because the "public key is not available" so I am hoping that does not hinder my game sessions
One quick note about the guide....if you get an error message about a missing GPG key when installing Wine, you may have the older key. In this case, simply get the new one with "sudo apt-key add winehq.key" and then "sudo apt-key add winehq.key". After that, run apt update again and all should be good!
I've been trying to play online games in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and noticed frequent latency spikes on Wifi due to Network Manager scans. Trying to set BSSID did not work for me. I think adressing this problem could be interesting for a Gaming Guide. Anyways, thanks for the fantastic video!
Awesome video. A big thank you. Now i can try world of tanks again on Linux mint. Which would you recommend? Mint mate or xfce?
dayum that's awesome.
noob question, do you still need to install amd drivers if using ryzen 7 cpu with integrated graphics?
I must have missed your past video about the Esync limit I will check that when I get home. Can you also do the same for Fsync? Also I see you didn't cover Fsync why is that?
