What games do you play on Garuda?

GNOME Shell acts as a compositing manager for the desktop, and displays both application windows and other objects in a Clutter scene graph.

From:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell/Technology

So no I don’t think you can since the compositor is a part of gnome shell basically and not separate from it like in KDE. Though nothing is stopping you from searching your shortcut settings and internet in case there is a way to do that.

Does anyone tried satisfactory and stellaris through steam?
These games were working perfectly fine on Linux mint, but on dragonized kde
Satisfactory when started shutingdown after first welcome screen before even goes to menu
Stellaris without any mods showing error on any proton ge/experimental, when i use linux runtime it crashes over map loading

Maybe someone had similar problem.

Not really i was checking it before, havent found similliar issues

Cyberpunk 2077 is running better under Garuda than Windows, at least from my experience, FSR 2.1 also helps a lot. Other games like Hot Pursuit (2010, non-remastered version) runs like a dream. Some games simply don't launch or crash half way.

I don't have any experience with Nvidia on linux but, Nvidia's driver is unfortunately closed source, there might be some unaddressed issues. AMD's driver is fully open source so anyone from the community could do their own testing and report their findings to whoever is responsible for maintaining the drivers.

I just found my good 'ol Crysis DVD-ROM and just played it. Memories <3
Works great with Garuda yes it can run Crysis on ULTRA settings without a bleep on the FPS

Cheers o/

I've been playing Uncharted 4 using:

  • VKD3D
  • DLSS (on Quality Mode)
  • 32:9 (5120x1440) resolution
  • All settings on Ultra/Enhanced

This game actually runs better on Linux than on native Windows. I did notice some shadow corruption here and there - but it runs great. Can't wait for HDR to be officially supported soon - then everything will be awesome.

Here are some screenshots if anyone is interested with MangoHud so you can see the specs.

I used to play Eve on-line but have since moved to X4 - basically single player Eve. I can lose whole days in there building my space empire; and it runs like a dream on Garuda.

One of my good mates got utterly addicted to Satisfactory and had been playing it since the early access days. He put in over 300 hours, now that its officially released he got bored. Hahahaa

It isn't released yet ...

You are lucky, for me first screen is starting in satisfactory, and then game is exitting

I'm runnin' it with Proton 7.0-6 in the compatibly settings in Steam. :thinking:
Without any further tinkering.

Remember the old Windows pinball game? It's been ported to Linux.

I am currently playing, Stellaris, Civilization VI, Cities: Skylines, Kerbal Space Program, and TimberBorn. some mods on C:S but the rest "vanilla", and a few DLC on Stellaris and Civ6.

I am pretty new to Garuda, and I am using the Dragonized Gaming Release as of 10 days now -

SecondLife
Mixxx (not a game but I use it in SL)
League of Legends
World of Warcraft
Life is Fuedal
Cyberpunk 2077

All work using steam proton, the custom one from Garuda. SecondLife was the only one that required ANY tweaking outside of using proton. I do not blame Garuda for that, the client I use is not the game issued client, almost no one as old a SL person as I am does, and the client we DO use is set up for debian users and arch is not directly supported. It only took a day of looking around and sure enough a SL player had shared the needed libraries and now it runs better than it did in windows.

I've been playing some browser games (hello to possibly fellow Nutaku players =p) when I don't have much free time and need to squeeze a quickie (yeah yeah, puns), but also Crusader Kings 3 when I have more time, and some gaming with my 4yo daughter, like Toki Tori, The Murder of Sonic, Horizon Chase, Adventure Pals, Steamworld Dig and Slime Rancher. We finished up Castle of Illusion a couple weeks ago.
