Hello everyone I am a new Linux user are there any games that are running well on Linux and are nice to play? I am open to any suggestions.
Copying my comment from another thread:
Check out https://www.protondb.com, to see which games work well on Linux. Games that are platinum should work out of the box, ones that are Gold might need some tinkering. Most games work great, but a lot of multiplayer games aren’t supported.
In general gaming on Linux has been a pretty smooth experience lately. Games on Steam usually just work, but IMO running games outside of Steam is pretty hit or miss. They sometimes need following a guide or trying to fix an obscure issue that only like 2 other people have.
So yeah, most games do just work that you don’t have to worry about it too much.
What a wonderful time, I always wanted Wine to be the best alternative for gaming back in the days, seems that it never caught up (I’m not a Linux user anymore).
A very large amount of games are!
CrossCode and Cave Story+ work on Linux.
I would highly recommend not buying the Steam version of Cave Story and instead downloading the open source Cave Story NX off of FlatHub and other such repos. Cave Story+ on Steam has been abandoned by the developers and they stopped updating it despite releasing countless better versions on other platforms. Definitely not worth paying for an inferior version, but if you have to play on PC you’re better off playing this updated version of the original.
Most of my steam library works, either native or via proton (happens automatically)
It should be noted that games that arent verified with proton won’t work until you change a steam setting that enables using compatibility tools on all games. You can also set this per game.
Oh, you’re in for a treat. :)
Pretty much any game that doesn’t have intrusive anti-cheat software will run these days. Just install Steam and start playing.
*And enable Steam Play in the settings
What settings are these? Have i missed something?
In the Steam settings, to use Proton you need to enable it in the “Steam Play” section. Doing this will enable the Proton translation layer and allow you to play (most) Windough$ games on Linux
I usually use Proton Experimental in the dropdown since it seems pretty stable and keeps it up-to-date.
Oh that one. Yeah, I got that. Just thought there was something in the OS settings I’d missed.
Anyone getting Minecraft: Bedrock Edition to work now? What version do you launch? I’ve followed a couple of guides but it just crashes when I press Play.
This looks linke it would work https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-manifest
Thanks will try!

Honestly once I realized Factorio works there really just isn’t time for anything else!
Death’s door is a recent favorite of mine
