i primarily use fedora linux and im looking a website or something specifically for linux versions of games, specifically stardew valley and hyper light drifter. any help would be great!
It’s funny, I frequently find myself configuring native Linux games I legitimately own to instead run the windows version through Proton.
…I’m sorry that that’s pretty much the exact opposite of an answer to your question.
LinuxRulez from torrminatorr. The more recent ones are more likely to be seeded.
Thanks all, i ended up getting christmas money do i bought stardew valley :)
I play both of these games on Steam on Nobara (Fedora) with zero issues.
Bro just use Proton, it’s unbelievable how well it works these days
It even somehow works better than native Linux ports sometimes.
What I find even more amazing is that with some regularity the windows versions run better (faster, fewer issues) in wine than on native windows. Used to happen more frequently when DX12 was still fairly fresh, but still happens.
When you say wine, you do mean proton, right? Much better for games from what I understand.
Yes. But Proton is just wine with extra patches. And many eventually find their way into upstream wine.
Yeah, I know… I just think it’s an important distinction if we’re talking to people who are new to Linux gaming.
In my experience not just sometimes, but rather commonly. It often feels like the native Linux version, if it is even available, gets far fewer bug fixes - not like I can blame them, considering the far lower amount of Linux players, but sometimes I wonder why they even bother with it in the first place if they don’t want to bother with focusing on it, with how good Proton is.
this group called johncena141:

I think their guide moved from github to here:

Torrminator, rutracker, jc141 in 1337x
I’m not sure if it’s better to play native linux games than to use wine
some games I tried, the native linux version had broken lighting, while the wine version worked fine
also with wine all your saves are in the game folder, and it doesn’t make a mess by saving files wherever the developer thought would do the job
also it’s easier to find the latest version for windows than it is for linux
I use this site. Not all games work, though.
Another option is to use 1337x and search for jc141. They put either native linux game or sometimes have wine built-in their setups, but they require you to install a lot of prerequisites.
Another option is to use emulators like PCSX2 or RPCS3 to play other games with relatively less hassle.
Adding to this, jc141 releases I believe are tested before uploading so they will most probably always work regardless of being native or wine. They do have some perquisites which can be a bit much if you are a new linux user who uses ubuntu. Otherwise they are perfect.
It’s kinda difficult to find cracked Linux-native games, though one site that I do know which has a section for it is Torrminator. Don’t really want to get in trouble with the mods so can’t post the link, but if you do end up finding the site, then I hope it has whatever games you’re looking for.
Most of the original d&d games, baldur’s gate 1 &2 and neverwinter nights etc, have Linux native versions and go on sale for a couple of dollars. You can easily sink 100s of hours into them, especially neverwinter which has amazing community made campaigns.
Idk about the latter, but Stardew Valley you can get from GOG or Steam for a pretty reasonable price, and it runs natively on Linux. You can transfer your save files between Windows, MacOS, Linux and Android for SDV, at least. If the second one you mentioned doesn’t have a native Linux version it should run through Steam through Proton. The website protondb can be used to find game compatibility.
You do you and maybe you have no spare money, but Stardew Valley is probably one example of a game that is worth buying. Not too expensive, goes on sale regularly, available on GOG, creator still pumps out updates with small new content even.
I bought it on my iPhone. I want to transfer the save to my computer and play it there.
Oh, can you do that? That would be cool.
I don’t think you can transfer saves
Oh, didn’t know that was possible. I think I mistook it for terraria or seomething
you can easily transfer saves in terraria.
Depending on your tech-savyness you can transfer saves in nearly all games.
Then I don’t know which I was thinking about. I just remember the issue being that the mobile version was just extremely behind on all the updates
Didn’t the latest big update give us cross-save or am I confusing this with another game that recently got it?
You can from Android, but I don’t think you can access the app data on iOS.
I think it might be possible if it’s jailbroken.
I game on Linux (Arch, btw) and the only games that don’t work using wine/proton (so far) are those that require kernel level anti-cheat software. Everything else runs mostly flawlessly throgh Steam or Lutris.
