Any other Linux users here? And has anyone fully migrated?

You're beginning to stretch the notion of "out of the box" a tiny bit dont you think?

I don't think so... I just clicked on the emulator I needed in octopi (knew it would work when I saw it was in chaotic-aur <3 <3 <3 chaotic-aur team!)

And yea, had to search for which bios file but anyone here knows that is to be expected. And bam, it worked no problems. What is your notion of otb? because...

Opera on Debian packages is available *directly* inside Retroarch, via the online updater. On Arch and al it's an AUR package. Not "out of the box". You'll have to update it with yay or your GUI. You take RetroArch as an example of things to test on distros and see if they work "out of the box", it's only true for the libretro packages in the Arch repository. For the rest, you'll have to search the AUR.

I did not have a good experience on linux mint recently while distro hopping, and to be fair that uses the ubuntu repository and not the Debian repository, but it did not work otb at all. Online updater would not install (or find) any cores and had other gui problems. Yes, the arch approach of installing individual cores is not as "direct", but it works and I think it is more reliable, for reasons I don't understand. That makes it more otb to me >_>

Good point on updating though... So far, my gui has been maintaining my chatoic-aur packages fine, but things can always break So far (~3months of garuda) no problems, so I think the assistant is really robust!

Well i think it is not out of the box, you still had to use your thing that look like Synaptic. So let's agree to disagree.

And much much love to the Opera devs maintaining the code on github and other places, and having proper documentation on how to build it *anywhere*.

Those guys keep it free as in FOSS, despite corporate interests trying to get a piece of the pie and corrupt everything with their bloat.

I want to kindly invite you all to search for "LinuxRuleZ!"

He repacks proper cracks in WINE wrappers to be installed "A La GOG" with a shingle shell that asks for install location and creates a selfcontained WINE drive inside said folder.

You only need to install WINE and then just run his installers.

You will find him at Zamunda.net/bananas
Just sign-up and click on the Bananas, then just click on "Search" with an empty query box after checking the "Linux Games" box.

You will also find his repacks at Torrminatorr.com
Just sign-up there and go to the Linux P2P section of the forum and then access the LinuxRuleZ! thread.

He is KOSHER for real. No "JohnChina" obscure compressing runtimes and esoteric installs in order to run proprietary repacks.
These are the simplest, cleanest, most consistent Linux Crack Repacks in the whole WildWildWest.

Honorary Mention to FREELINUXPCGAMES.COM which are all NATIVE LINUX GAMES, no WINE wrapper, no crack repack.

P.D. LinuxRuleZ's repacks are tested on LinuxMint and Arch for compatibility, and they should run on most Debian/Ubuntu/Arch distros 99% of the time.

I am curious if there is any other Linux users here and if you do what's your Distro and your experience with it ?

In my opinion while PC game can be hit or miss with proton (But mostly hit) emulation with the exception of the 3DS works flawlessly, I love using Gnome and swich between virtual desktop effortlessly, I also love the convince of being able do download emulator using my package manege instead of going to the website to dowload the EXE files there.

Of course I do have issues with proton from time to time, but I don't imagine myself going back to windows anytime soon, I love using Linux since I started using it in setember of this year.

Never gamed much on Linux but migrated my server to Ubuntu recently because windows can kiss my ass with updates that brick it every 4 days
