Haha that's fine :)

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social

My vote goes to @Minetest (https://www.minetest.net/) and 0 A.D. (https://play0ad.com/) two criminally underrated games that deserve much more exposure.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social SuperTuxKart! Also I think you could also highlight emulators.

Not free and open source games but I think the guide should focus more on Steam Play (maybe even show a video of how just clicking play works on a AAA game) and Heroic for Epic Games (Many people may have free games they acquired from Epic Games)

@kde
Tools
@Krita , @inkscape, @inkstitch , @darktable @godotengine @Blender , @kdenlive , olive, enve, meshroom, natron, friction, tooll, ...

and a list of great #FOSS games is here:

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
I think @veloren could be a good mention.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Mangohud is really good. And for me the top video is a bit laggy on Firefox.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
https://www.beyondallreason.info/ is a really really good floss rts game and i would mention lutris at same time as bottles as they both do pretty much the same thing and lurtris can even handle emulation, which i think bottles cant

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Thanks, just donated. For me most important ones are konsole and from mobile side angelfish, tokoidon.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social cool

Small nitpick: maybe the screenshot used in the "lightweight" section should be taken from a fresh session?

It’s nice to see some love shared towards Valve who have been incredible with sharing countless improvements upstream. KDE has benefited from Steam Deck development with improvements such as Discover, faster detection of new icons after app installs, and better udev event handling.

If only other vendors making their own distros had a policy of pushing upstream rather than forking. And with Valve introducing millions of users to Plasma and putting a Linux Desktop in their hands, it is truly fantastic times for Linux right now (HDR support, DXVK, VKD3D-Proton, Proton itself, futex, case insensitive filesystem ext4, spinlock, btrfs same-fsid, kdumpst, Mesa Vulkan driver, ACO, async page flip, gamescope, xdg-desktop-portal improvements, Udisks improvements, Network Manager, ALSA, Pipewire, SDL improvements).

All available to all distros thanks to Valve. It’s been over 10 years since they committed to Linux and they have truly put their money where their mouth was.

I feel like this is a dumb question but I just want to be sure. I’m assuming this is a general guide for pc that includes steam deck. Is that right?

Awesome stuff. A nitpick I have about the page though is that if it’s meant to be a highlight real of the properties of KDE that appeal to gamers, the section on classic games shouldn’t be an exhaustive list, and might instead be a summary with some examples followed by a link to the larger catalog.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social A suggestion maybe, but users who have hybrid gpu setup like me intel/amd to have option to open an application or .desktop shortcut in dedicated gpu like in GNOME. I tried it using cli everything works just missing a GUI option like in Gnome. And to make the application always open in dedicated gpu, a change in PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true in .Desktop file is all that needed. I hope that helps you guys or anyone looking for a solution to a similar setup like this.

Maybe this doesn’t exactly answer your question, but I launch all my games through Lutris, and have it set to always use dedicated GPU when launching a gane.

Sorry for the profanity but Oh hells yeah

I love to see it

I t shoul show Garuda…

@kde@floss.social the video on this page is 1440p with a 15k kbit/s bitrate. It is very tolling on low end devices (especially mobile) or non hardware-accelerated renderers, to the point it makes playback impossible.

Consider reducing the bitrate to ~3k kbit/s and video quality to 1080p/720p, or even automatically change the quality based on screen/window size.

@kde@lemmy.kde.social

@kde "Learn how KDE contributed to the Steam Deck success, by watching the following talk." the grammar in this sentence feels off to me

Please consider adding the Heroic Games Launcher to the page. It’s a commendable project that gives GOG customers a convenient way to play their DRM-free games on Linux.

After all these years I still don’t know what the difference between KDE and Plasma is.

Plasma is the Desktop Environment, KDE is the organisation who develop and maintain it.
