Newer games are not a big problem anymore but the problem is with old games which i only use. I can run PES 4,5 & 6, my favorite football games, but they have no sound, needs more time loading, custom option files & replays are not working, half of kitserver mods are not working & perfomance is not good, it has 60 fps at one moment but it stutters. Please can someone answer me if someone tried to install old PES games on Linux, i will truly appreciate it.
Those are the only Windows games I tested.
The games i did not tested are GTA San Andreas (with a lot of mods such as SilentPatch, Mobile Port, PS2 Port, 60FPS mod...), SAMP, Yu-Gi-Oh! Kaiba The Revenge, Yu-Gi-Oh! Joey The Passion, Yu-Gi-Oh! Yugi The Destiny & Scarface The World Is Yours (that game ran terribly on Windows even with famous SilentPatch).
Edit: I tested more games and: All 3 Yu-Gi-Oh! games - works flawlessly, Risk of Rain - works flawlessly, GTA San Andreas - works good, all mods are working, but performance could be better,
PES 4,5,6 - works good, flawless performance, except it had issues with remembering option file as it constantly asks you to make a new one on every launch, no sound effects and comentator but music works and gameplay seemed faster than it should. Replay actually works, my bad. However, with kitserver mod, it's disastreous. Only PES working properly with kitserver is PES 5 but i have only resolution config installed. PES 4 can't even launch with kitserver installed which also has resolution config only. PES 6 launchs but it can't enter the game. I have installed most mods to PES 6 so i didn't expected it to work properly. I have a lot of faces, hairs, stadiums, custom option files which is around 30gb. I hope that i will play PES with mods through wine without any issue in future.

I'm having trouble running Fallout 2 with the Restoration Project installed - the latter which is also installed by Lutris. I'm a complete noob to Linux so I'm not entirely sure how to get it running. The Restoration Project needs to be installed in the Fallout 2 directory but when I do this it appears that it completely replaces the folder and I lose the Fallout 2 dependency. The script for Fallout 2 is more recent than the script for the RP so is it possible that they aren't compatible? I wonder if it has something to do with the destination folder, the RP wants to install to -C:\GOG Games\Fallout 2- which would be its Windows directory, whereas on Linux its installed in Home/username/Games. Also want to note that Fallout 2 Vanilla works perfectly, whereas with the RP it doesn't launch at all and gives a message -file not found-. Any tips would be appreciated. So far I'm highly enjoying Linux Mint and will never go back to Windows, even if I won't be able to run every game, cheers.
Edit: After looking at the log, it appears that a dxkv error quits the game, my guess is this is an issue with vulkan?

Enjoying all your Linux videos and I finally now understand the Wine bottles. Have you got a video that gives an overview, or pulls together, how Lutris, Wine, and Steam Proton all fits together? I see how/where Wine and Lutris are now working, and have seen where to add the Proton GE to Steam, but it seems Steam in turn creates a /Steam/steamapps/compatdata/ directory with folders for each game, and then within /Steam/steamapps/common/ it also creates folders only for Proton versions. I've also noticed that sometimes if I'm switching between Proton and maybe Linux runtime as compatibility layers it has deleted my whole 20GB game folder. Is Steam's Proton depending at all on existing Wine installations?

For those of you interested in a modded Skyrim, Skyrim SE or Fallout game. There is a maintained Github repository containing installers for these games. I'm testing with a modded SkyrimSE running through Proton and it works really well.
I know Chris doesn't like links in the comments so I won't direct link. Just search for -lutris-skyrimse-installers- by -rockerbacon- and you will find it.
The only negative is that the maintainers don't update the installers on the Lutris site as they find the moderation system too slow for their development pace. My issue with this is that many users looking for a working Skyrim are in for a bad experience which could be avoided.
But that's my two cents.

My god is this annoying. I was hopping for some advice on getting why certain mods (ones that rely on dll injections) don't work in Linux. Not only was this not helpful but you do the same thing that all Linux fan boys do. Spend more time talking about Windows than saying anything useful. Also using installing scripts that require the internet to work on DRM free games defeats the purpose of DRM free.

My problem with linux is i dont know how i can render desktop effects on 144fps this happens on many desktop environments for me. I have 2 screens other is 1080p60hz and the other one is 1080p144hz. My gpu is a gtx 1060. If i disable the compositor on kde then it will be 144hz. I have configured the displays from the proprietary nvidia driver panel.

I would appreciate a video on Game Hub as well. I found it recently and there are almost no videos about it, I only heard it mentioned in one. It seems like a nice application. Also, all videos I have seen about Lutris focused on installing from steam or from gog. What about adding a game I have a setup.exe or ISO already saved on HDD? Thanks a lot

Thank you! Your Linux tips are amazing. I learned a lot from you and you helped me to switch from windows to Linux. I have a question about steam game -Assassin's Creed Odyssey- when I start the game it stucks on Ubisoft launcher with the message -looking for patches- if anyone here has an idea how to solve this I will appreciate.

Hello Chris, I have been watching your videos on Linux. I have not used Linux before, so I would to know more. I have a Chromebook that has Linux pre-isntalled. But I don't know where to start. I have used windows for ever, so any other operating system is alien to me. Even Chrome is unfamiliar to me.

Your videos are great! Building up new computer and wanted to get away from Windows. I-m not unfamiliar with Linux yet still not advanced in usage. Gaming was a chain to windows and your videos will allow me to avoid having an install of it. Thx
