I know im not the only one, trying to get gaming on linux, but im different 😀 I am hooked on Flightgear, (the flight gear group on lemmy seems dead) but im right now playing it (still as a novice) on my Lenovo T470 with Fedora. So well its running okay, but the graphics, especially the suroundings just dosnt look like wheni see thoese vids online about flightgear. So i was wondering, and dreaming about a desktop PC, running linux, that is capable of delevering better graphics in Flightgear.i dont know anything about building a pc, but do you have a recommended setup of all hardware i schould get, and software, to get Flightgear up and running more beautyfull? Im also considdering of using steam as a gameshop. Im such a noob, that i would prefer exsact list of what hardware i schould use. Btw i would like to build my own pc, because im not a fan of thoese gamercomputers with all the colourrd light insight.

    Do not go with Nvidia, AMD all the way.

    That’s my 2 cents I am throwing in there. I’ve used Nvidia graphic cards with Linux in the past and I’ve bought a new monster PC recently.

    I went AMD all the way, I installed my little Linux, all went butter smooth, since the drivers are already in the kernel.

    Make the wiser choice here, go read team.

      There’s also team blue now, the ARC CPUs are really cheap for the performance and Linux drivers are good (or at least they were, apparently they fired the person who was in charge of those, we’ll see what the future brings us)

        I wouldn’t touch intel GPUs. saw a comparison video a few months ago and intel arc linux performance was like half of what it was on windows. I have a laptop with intel integrated graphics and it can play some games on windows no problem, but it can’t do shit on linux. seriously it can’t even run btd6…
