Is Linux Ready For Mainstream Gaming In 2025?
Linux is quietly gaining ground on Windows in the gaming space. But how well does it actually perform? Here's what I experienced.
You're viewing a single thread.
I was having some issues when I updated to Nobara 41 as Hell Divers 2 failed to load in the textures. So it still has hiccups.
Hell Divers 2 has had a rocky relationship with Linux from the get go. Hopefully, as Linux gains market share, game studios start to include Linux testing.
helldivers 2 works great for me with nixos. Both native package and flatpak.
I don't play it, but I remember that with each update, it sometimes broke for Linux, and sometimes it would fix the breaks. That was especially true closer to launch, though maybe some of those issues have been ironed out.
Are you using a Nix config you found, or is it something you cobbled together yourself? Gaming on Nix seems like a challenge!
Been using nix to game on for 2 years. My config is a bit out of date, I haven't really taken the time to update and optimize it.
At least I have a steam deck to play it on as that tends to be more optimized for games.
