#292 Gaming on Fedora: Hack on Earth
Closed: published by rlengland. Opened by rlengland.

Reopen Issue

Article Summary:

In 2021, I wrote an article for Fedora Magazine, called Gaming on Fedora. It was well received and it got a lot of traction: Fedora Linux is a good distribution for gaming and many seemed to agree.

Based on that, I want to write a follow-up to that article, giving a recap on what happened, but also highlighting some other projects who have reached maturity since then. I also want to address some challenges that have arisen.

Article Description:

  • Gaming on Fedora: Hack on Earth
    • Previously on…
    • disclaimer
  • Advancements
    • Open Source Nvidia drivers, Intel Arc
    • Official Flatpaks (Discord, OBS)
  • Launchers
    • Minigalaxy
    • Bottles
  • Tooling
    • Proton versions
    • Gamescope
  • Challenges
    • Anti-cheat
    • Native games
  • Summary

Special mention goes to the disclaimer. Games are for the most part non-FLOSS and this article will talk about non-free software and the tooling around it. In the previous article, I did mention RPM Fusion which warranted a closer look from the legal team. I intent to mention the non-free drivers from Nvidia again (as in the previous article), but I will not go beyond what the previous article established as a clear line.

Linux became my daily driver in 2018, and we’ve advanced a lot since then in regards to gaming. It will never be perfect, but it would be good to give people an update in regards to video games.

I see that you have started you article. Do you have any estimate when you might have it ready for review? Let us know with a comment here, when it is ready.
Thanks

No problem. I hope to have some more time in the coming weeks.

My life has been a roller-coaster for the past year and a half. I try to contribute where possible, and I'm glad to write another article for Fedora Magazine. Still, things are going slower then they did before.

I'll keep you posted

Hey, I think that I'm done.

I've given the text a few passes, ironing out most of word-salad and fixing the occasional error. Still, I would welcome you to give it another stern look and to let me know if you see any glaring problems.

The only thing I'm not very certain about is the cover image... I'm not that good with photo editing tools so I am open for suggestions.

@eonfge I caught a few minor things but over all the article looked good. The image is just fine, too.

The article is schedule for publication 10 June 08:00 UTC
