Any Linux gamers here?

I thought I'd start a thread for all the Linux gamers out there to share news, tips, tricks and ways to get games working properly on Linux whatever your distribution.

I'm currently running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and plan on getting back into the Total War: Warhammer series.

I went for a long time without a gaming PC but a couple of months ago I bought a cheapish gaming laptop. Windows 11 ran fine on it but I wanted to see how it would perform using Linux so I installed Fedora 42 KDE on it and it feels like a whole new machine. I'm quite impressed so far. Took a couple of hours to get everything installed and up and running so no big loss there. Had a bit of an issue with secure boot but got that sorted in the end.

I can't say I had any problems with Nvidia. I just installed the official drivers from a repo, rebooted and everything worked fine. My next computer will probably have an AMD GPU though just for ease of use. But for a laptop I got for less than £1k it is surprisingly fast in games like Total War: Warhammer 3.
