Hello wonderful people of Ubuntu Budgie, Since I joined the team, I have been busy helping out behind the scene and getting familiar. One of the things I have been doing, is keep an eye on discourse posts. I saw there have been frequent discussions around gaming. Then I saw a nice project on githu…

I am going to kick things off by bringing some update on what was previously discussed, and also adding some thoughts from the Ubuntu Budgie team. General idea We believe that a gaming app within the Ubuntu Budgie Welcome is a great idea. It makes the distribution easy and pleasant to use, especia…

@ilvipero This is great idea, looking forward to seeing this flesh out. One idea I thought might be helpful is a link from the welcome app to a web page for ‘more information’ on gaming on linux? Like tips and tricks that can make the gaming experience better. You could also have links to gaming …

I did suggest adding similar articles. The design principle is to not overwhelm the user. Adding on to this … too many game clients could give Analysis Paralysis to the user too. Also, Proton seems to be doing quite well especially with steam deck around the corner. I think those two options cove…

Agree on this. Steam is the easiest one to get a lot of games working on linux, and last I had a look, Lutris can manage also GOG and Humble Bundle games. Please check my recommendations above, I think if you can manage to split into 3 categories, users won’t have sensor overload when they load the…

Hey @ilvipero I like that idea … three section one. Let’s present this to core team too. Also, maybe a poll on the Suggested games would be great.

@HellBringer419 @fossfreedom I am super happy you guys agree. This is going to be super fun. And yes absolutely community polls on which games to add to the list sounds super fun. Once there is a first release making it into either dev.branch or current release, please do let me know, so I will wr…

I agree, Proton should most likely be pushed the hardest. The recent announcement of EAC and Battle Eye supporting linux via Proton is pretty huge. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Easy-Anti-Cheat-Linux https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=BattlEye-Proton-Steam-D…

0.16.2 of budgie-welcome is now out - it should be refreshing on your installs over the next few days. (force refresh via snap refresh) The new gaming page is available. Looking forward to seeing this develop.

Quick update. @HellBringer419 created a first version of Ubuntu Budgie Gaming. It is looking great already, and I am sure it will keep improving over time. Thanks @HellBringer419 for the great work and @fossfreedom for helping out. Please keep the comments coming, constructive criticism is always w…

I am fine with whatever yourself and @ilvipero agree with. As usual … KISS principles apply

Glad to be back to Ubuntu Budgie
