So I was thinking of switching my desktop to linux. I have been running fedora on my laptop for 3 years and I really like it. My main question now is just what distro works best for gaming (considering my specs) and can I use VMs in any of the gaming oriented ones (mostly because I don't wanna keep dual booting).
Edit: I have gone with Bazzite for now and it seems to be working fine. Some games don't rrally work acceptably (I expected that) so I will keep dual booting for a while.
heroic overall seems to work better for installing games from gog, but the odd issue I have is that I seem to be always online on gog's service when I'm playing games. Do you happen to know if there's any way to set myself invisible? I don't want everyone to know how often or late I play games :P
I guess technically signing out of the storefront would do that, but then I'd have to re-login to install/update games, eh
edit: oh derr, it dawned on me that it might be the Cyberpunk launcher which I had to login as well, which shows me online
Luckily you can just skip the Cyberpunk launcher. Just configure Heroic to use the normal exe. That's how I play the Steam version so that I can play when my son is playing on his PC as well.
Yea I have done that, but logging into the launcher (and it apparently keeps it logged in as well) unlocks in-game items - they are entirely non-essential, but... you know, hoarding.
I haven't tested yet if that's even the thing which is showing me in-game to my friends. I was kinda amazed to hear they saw me playing cyberpunk to the early morning hours :D
I still struggle to get Heroic to install pretty much anything, while Lutris usually works. I would want to use Heroic, but a prerequisite is that installed games actually launch and I have yet to understand why they don't...
If you installed it from flatpak theres probably some permissions you need to set. Otherwise I dunno.
