All?
My experience is that 90% work fine, 9% have weirdness, (for instance, voices in Skyrim are out of sync with mouth movements) and 1% of them have game breaking bugs.
- dimgl 5y agoYeah, I have the experience as OP. Every single game I play on Linux has random hitches for seconds at a time.
- freedomben 5y agoCan you keep an htop running by chance? It would be very helpful to see if CPU is maxxing out when the hitches happen, or if the swap file is growing, etc. Any time it happens to me, it's usually low resources because of something. Most often some chrome tab (or 3) that are going crazy. I also discovered that one of the apps that I thought was using hardware acceleration actually wasn't. The CPU usage made it pretty clear that the CPU was doing a ton of work.
- fsflover 5y agoSounds like a typical problem with an Nvidia GPU.
- dagw 5y agoI've found that AMD APUs are by far the worst supported GPUs on Linux. Nvidia gives me far less problems.
