You're going to be limited to libre emulators, and libre vidya. If you can't compile it yourself, you won't be able to run it. As a matter of fact, you'll have to compile every component of your distro, ppc is practically nonexistent on the desktop scene, the kind of ppc rigs distro devs run are from 2005, and those were already getting outclassed by x86 chips from that era, so there you have it.
You won't be able to play Windows games, because those are compiled for x86. Your only way out is emulating x86, but performance takes a massive hit, so you can only play older games.
That said, you can run the Unreal Engine 4 editor, as Raptor demonstrated, so if you want to use it to game dev, there's that. The Talos II is very much a workstation/server, and it makes much more sense to be productive with it than to play vidya on it.

That news is complete bullshit, gentoo doesn't host or even use the github mirros.
It's a third party that really has almost nothing to do with any of the official gentoo ebuilds.
Them getting "hacked" does nothing to gentoo because everything that is pulled in by rsync is from their own self hosted repository.
Also, those ebuilds aren't even risky because they attempt to remove external files, however, portage runs in a sandboxed env so they always fail to execute.
and even if they were risky if you're downloading ebuilds off of github you deserve it.

In all seriousness, there is literally nothing to talk about as far as Linux gaming goes. Nothing has changed in two years.
0) We have all the emulators, naturally. And thanks to DXVK even Wine is getting kinda awesome.
1) Valve has put SteamOS on the back-burner and is quietly helping improve the graphics stack
2) Most AAA games we get are ports from Feral
3) We get most indie games
4) Vulkan is getting the performance gap problem solved, but adoption has been slow
5) There are are few good open source games, but the glut of proprietary games has left a lot of these neglected and hurting for devs
6) Like FatElf before them (pic related), Flatpak and AppImage have the potential to make 3rd party support outside of Steam easier. Flatpak might even give Linux backwards compatibility parody with Windows. Now if only we could get people to use them…
This has not changed in ages. And until something changes, I don't see a reason to take these treads seriously.

2) stop using these shitty lists, it's gay.
3) flatpacks are shit and based on binaries so there will always be problems with them.
4) linux isn't made for games it's made for hobby software which just happens to include games
5) "wine is not an emulator", also means your running windows code direct and by proxy your using proprietary software.
6) theres nothing wrong with using wine as long as the software isn't proprietary

Playing old games on Linux right now and there seems to be a correlation between the age of a game and how well it runs on Linux. All the old stuff runs almost perfectly with no problems, the newer games run so-so with a few glitches or issues here and there and the really new stuff, unless it's a native game is almost unplayable or doesn't work at all.

Any flavor of Ubuntu other than actual Ubuntu is fine. Among them Xubuntu the one I use, Ubuntu Mate, Lubuntu and KDE Neon (formerly Kubuntu) are good choices. (The only thing that varies between "flavors" is the Desktop Environment they use, by the way). Download an ISO and burn it on a USB so you can try a live session from it and thinker a bit.

With CSMT enabled, I got 90 FPS on average.
With Gallium Nine enabled, I got 55 on average.
I've had some games that require Gallium Nine to even start up (Halo Online is one example), but this is the first time I've done any head-to-head results. I thought for sure G9 would pull ahead. Has CSMT had significant improvements? Any other games with dedicated benchmarking modes I should test?
For anyone wondering, the game and its expansions run flawlessly. Extraction Point requires .ini tweaking for proper widescreen, but that's not a Linux problem.

As for the driver, I'm using AMDGPU-PRO from the AUR. At the time I installed it the open source drivers didn't have Vulkan support. If that's changed I'll switch over.
1fe456 No.15099061
>>15098970
My man, can you check the specific version of Mesa that you have? New Mesa versions are released every few days. Latest (stable) Mesa is 18.1.3. It's worth it to stick to the bleeding edge with AMD's free drivers, there's fixes and improvements in almost every update. I'll give you a hint: the command you're looking for is "sudo pacman -Q | grep mesa".
The driver you're using is propietary, and you ought to use the free drivers, AMDGPU. The main catch of propietary drivers is that they require specific kernel and X11 versions, which doesn't let you be on the bleeding edge, which could affect performance. You use Polaris, so support should be great. Take a look: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMDGPU#AMDGPU_PRO
As for Vulkan support, there's two main efforts happening right now. You've got RADV, which is a Vulkan free driver developed by the community, already included within Mesa, and there's AMDVLK, which is the recently released official free Vulkan driver developed by AMD, which was previously within AMDGPU-PRO. You probably installed the drivers in 2016, or maybe early 2017, because by then RADV wasn't in its best state, and AMDVLK wasn't released until December 2017. The performance of both drivers is pretty much the same, though in some specific cases, one of them comes on top. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amdvlk-radeon-vulkan&num=1
4af653 No.15099578
>>15099061
Everything from that command comes up 18.1.3-1.
It looks like I was wrong and I don't have PRO installed, but I'm just running AMDGPU. I swear I remember installing it at some point for Doom. Either way, it's not a big deal. I'll just play F.E.A.R. with CSMT enabled. I was only curious why it had such a clear advantage over G9 when I though for sure the latter had the advantage.

Asides for a tiny minority that use source based distros like Gentoo or needs the latest bleeding edge version of a program nobody compiles. Your average Linux user nowadays doesn't even know what compilling is.
For Windows games you have three options. WINE works fine for older games and even newer ones have auto installs scripts that deal with dependency issues through PlayonLinux. 95% of the time when I download a game it works after I double click the .exe to install or run. Second option is to run a virtual machine with Windows95/98/xp/7/8/10, for newer games VMware Workstation Player would have solved >>15101703 issues. For older games I use VirtualBox.
The most complicated option is using hardware virtualization with PCI passthrough through KVM/QEMU. But even mainstream youtubers like LinusTechTips shows how to do this so it's not that difficult. This provides 100% compatibility and the benefits of a sandboxed Windows that can be configured solely for gaming.
With a GTX1060 your hardware is likely current enough to support this but requires either a second GPU or integrated graphics on the CPU for the host OS. The poor state of free Nvidia drivers on Linux wouldn't impact gaming at all.

Okay, stupid questions time:
1. Is there a wrapper of some kind that can replace wine?
2. Do dos games require wine?
3. Is it possible to compile video games from the source to make them native? Is it easy?
4. Can wine work without native nvidia drivers, on xorg alone?
And excuse me for intrusion. I am just finding ways to launch very old games without using proprietary software because nvidia 396 doesn't work right on mint 18 properly, but instead stutters like crazy, and anything below that driver just doesn't work because nvidia-settings is from 396 anyway. I also don't know if i should already upgrade to mint 19, i hate how linux has to delete all my data instead of just upgrading or can only work in separate partition and i am lazy to buy new hard drive for all my shit.
4b9edb No.15103854
>>15103723
>Is there a wrapper of some kind that can replace wine?
Unless you count internal tools used by porting companies, no. Those require source-level access to the program anyways.
>Do dos games require wine?
Nah, use dosbox.
>Is it possible to compile video games from the source to make them native? Is it easy?
Even if you have a game's source code, compiling it won't magically spit out a Linux build unless the codebase already supports it. Most open source games already do, but proprietary games often need some tweaking and Direct3D renderers need porting to OpenGL or Vulkan.
>Can wine work without native nvidia drivers, on xorg alone?
Thanks to Nvidia's refusal to document their hardware, trying to play vidya on Linux without Nvidia's proprietary drivers is an awful experience unless your GPU is really old (like GTX 400 series or earlier). AMDfags generally have it better.
>everything else
Are you talking about microstutters, framedrops, or tearing, and is this only in certain games or on the desktop as well? If it's restricted to games, disabling composition for fullscreen windows might help a bit.
Linux Mint is based off Ubuntu's LTS releases, so 18 is built off a base two years old. You can do an in-place upgrade even with the large gap between the two versions, but backing up your stuff to another hard drive and installing 19 from scratch is a safer option.

Out of anon's recommendations your best shots are Gentoo Hardened or OpenBSD.
Gentoo hardened and OpenBSD are the only proper security-oriented operating systems in the market, and they're both good. I personally recommend you go Gentoo because you can do a fully free software install, whereas OpenBSD may or may not load nonfree kernel modules. Go LibreBSD for a fully free OpenBSD, but its maintainers are slow, so that's why I say Gentoo. Make sure you install gentoo from a free software distro, and that you use gentoo exclusively as a free software distro. Encrypt your hard drive, use every free software proxy you can and only with encrypted network protocols like HTTPS. Close every port that is not immediately in use. When you're in your safe computer, there is no such thing as you, "you"'re another person who doesn't know you and would think you're a faggot if he met you. He doesn't know your name, he doesn't know you go to 8chan and he doesn't know your e-mail's password, he has speech cliques that don't line up with your own, and his native language is actually Cantonese. Don't overlap these 2 personalities, I can't stress how many torrent site owners got vanned for letting their 2 personalities overlap. Latest one was KickassTorrents' owner.
Every x86 processor ever is backdoored, but it requires physical access or having your OS hijacked by a hacker, at which point there is no security system in the entire world that could save you. If the CPU was manufactured starting in 2006 by intel it includes the intel management engine which is completely invisible to the main CPU and has full power over it. Do not touch an intel CPU made after 2006. Intel CPUs started emitting unexplainable radio interference in 2009, I believe it's a satellite network card using their own satellite networking standard, and you should assume the same. Intel CPUs starting with ivy bridge have a full on hidden 3G network card and it's 100% undeniable intel has complete control over them anywhere in the world.
AMD has the same deal going on, but it begins with their Ryzen CPUs.
Make sure your bootloader is free software too, a random proprietary implementation of BIOS is also botnet.
Keep your OS commandline only, increasing the complexity of your OS is increasing the amount of chances a possible hacker has of breaking into your system. Everything is free software so you know what's running and what is not, so install whatever you want as long as it's free software and not a known botnet like firefox (which is a GUI program anyway so why would you), but keep what is actually running to a minimum.
Remember the negative connotation of "paranoia" is a CIA psyop dating to the 1960s to make the populace easier to spy on. Being paranoid is good, and you should be as much as possible. Remember nonfree is inherently botnet, and if you touch nonfree software you're compromised. Remember real world hacking happens mostly through social engineering, this is just the software part, the other part is in your head.

Debian technically "supports" init systems other than systemd. Except almost every graphical package or package with a graphical option you install will pull it in and order you to remove any alternative. This is because systemd's influence is to pajeets making shitty GUI software like GNOME.
If you run a commandline only system, as you should in a security-oriented OS because every GUI program is a swiss cheese of security holes, not to mention that with the GUI being unnecessary to begin with you're going against the security principle of absolute minimalism, you can do Debian without systemd. But don't use Debian in a security aware environment.

Everything you ever use must be wired.
If you use a satellite network like 3G you're only going to get stingray'd, if you use wi-fi the old lady who's your neighbor can break into it with aircrack-ng.
If your internet connection is wired, someone has to physically reach it.
Before you encrypt your hard drive write 3 passes of randomness into it.
Have multiple killswitches. A special password in your encrypted hard drive that actually wipes it, a switch in your computer that shorts your hard drive, RAM and CPU and fries them, a goddamn bucket of water, fire, everything. When a bunch of soldiers glowing through their body armor pop in your house the first thing they're going to do is yank the RAM out of your computer, stick it in liquid nitrogen container and connect it to a machine that will dump its entire contents. That'll most likely include your encrypted hard drive's encryption key.
At the same time another group of them will do the same to your processor and record exactly what electrical charges the processor put out. Then they'll contact Intel/AMD and hope they did it fast enough to dump any writable memory in the proccessor like the cache and registers. This last bit is actually extremely unreliable, but they do it, so don't risk shit.
You must follow everything here and more (I don't know everything) to the best of your ability. You can't think "this is too much paranoia" or "this is too expensive". If you don't, you're already in guantanamo bay and the guards are humanoid lizards from Mars. They like anal probing, I hope you do too.

You're limited to Linux and BSD and the only proprietary game with a powerpc port I have heard of is Dwarf Fortress but the powerpc port is abandoned and outdated.
32 bit powerpc is being phased out by every distro but gentoo, but gentoo powerpc is very neglected. A lot of packages are missing.
If you have 32 bit powerpc the best choice is BSD, try OpenBSD. And if your 32 bit ppc device isn't a mac you might still have trouble.
64 bit powerpc doesn't have better support than its 32 bit counterpart in gentoo, but you might be better served in Debian which should have every package that builds for the architecture available. Debian actually has things like a 32 bit MIPS build of OpenMW, so there's nothing stopping you from playing the game on your router.

Sound won't play for me in Vanilla WoW. I got it working before, but now I'm not sure how to get it working again. I've tried all the googled solutions, and none of them worked. I'm using Wine 1.8, if being out of date is the problem.

Actually I've used that before as well and it's alright. For whatever reason I couldn't get it to play videos on the TTY consoles when I was trying a full-autismo console only setup (even though mpv/mplayer do support this)

I still need to use the proprietary Nvidia drivers though, and last I checked the package required the latest kernel. I had trouble installing them manually from the binary installer on Artix for some reason.

I moved from Artix to gentoo, it's a mostly painless transition
Compiling things is made real easy with all the ebuilds that gentoo has.
And, if you really need binaries you can simply pass a binhost in as an argument.
like so:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="**" PORTAGE_BINHOST="https://cloveros.ga" emerge -G $@
This uses cloveros binhost but you can change it out with pretty much any binhost you want for the most part.

Console buffer using mpv or mplayer as set in mpsyt's settings. Looking back I think it was those programs not automagically detecting and using fbdev/directfb unless you manually specified the video driver. I'll have to give it another go at some point.

The VM is the latest LMDE, which still has an old enough kernel. I installed it to an SD card so I could also boot it on bare metal, and I only had the stuttering issue in the VM.

Firetools is a GUI tool for firejail and wine has a couple GUI wrappers as well but why bother?
In essence you need to first remove the symlinks to your system that wine creates.
Remove the z: drive and create actual folders instead of the auto created links to your Documents, Pictures Folders, etc to keep wine programs from shitting into your real $HOME.
That in and of itself should keep any "friendly" program within the confines of the wine directory but since such thing can of course rarely be assumed you then use firejail to build a whitelisted profile for that application. There even is a build option and some other trace tools to make the job easier.
I personally also keep wine and Steam in specific subvolumes that I then mount on the actual directories instead of switching environment variablesuse chattr +i on them beforehand, especially on .wine to keep it nice and tidy as well as movable.
It should also make snapshotting the prefixes easy but I haven't tried that in practice yet.

You can set up a loopback device for it, the config here looks about right: https://noisybox.net/blog/2016/01/alsa_recording_of_device_output
I set it up a while ago and it just werks, forgot I even had to do anything for it.

-march=native in an arch that implies -mtune=native varies wildly from program to program but across the board you either get a tiny boost like 3% (supposedly gcc not picking assembly conventions optimized for early x64 cpus as the default mtune does) or the program's main bottleneck does something specifically targetted by your processor's extensions and performance doubles. And then there's also how on gentoo usually you specifically compile in just what you want which makes smaller binaries that fit in your CPU's cache better, also increasing performance.
And that's comparing with gcc at default + -O2, I can't stress enough how much if anybody can pick retard-proof flags it's the guys who made the compiler and they do it. A lot of distro maintainers pick retarded optimizer flags (remember they're only random people who decided to maintain an OS) because they read somewhere it's meant to increase performance. A lot of distros for instance use -O3 by default but unless you're running a mflops benchmark written in standard C whose critical piece of machine code boils down to the same 64KBs of data getting looped inside your proccessor's cache that'll only lower performance.
Gentoo is where ricers go to die or enter the realm of legends, because they either shoot themselves in the foot or they actually benefit from the source based aspect of the distro.
