The only reason I boot up Windows at this point is to play shooters with EAC. What do you guys play if you’re looking for a quick 20-minute firefight?
Xonotic is always a good one.
Full agree on Xonotic! Has also a somewhat active online play.
its slowly decreasing so i guess maybe to curb that people should tell others more about that game
My go-tos are tf2 and tf2 - that is Team Fortress 2 and Titanfall 2. Both work great on Linux and have really dedicated communities. Titanfall 2 even has the Northstar client.
I play a lot of Apex Legends. It works very well on Linux.
Splitgate
Older game but red orchestra 2 is a classic ww2 shooter with a decent online community. Matches are around the 20 - 30 minute mark.
I didn’t know it was still active. I have it in my Steam library. Thanks!
Hunt Showdown runs on Linux with Proton and it has EAC
It does!? Since when, this is news to me.
Shatterline and Caliber
Both free to play, on Steam, and work using Proton.
Insurgency Sandstorm is pretty good and CS:GO is always a classic go-to.
CS:GO, Halo MCC, Overwatch 2
though I don’t know if OW2 counts as good anymore, certainly not a fan of the changes, but it still works on Linux
Battlefield 4 is still good. Plays well under Linux, graphics are good, servers are still packed and it’s quite challenging.
Why not just CS:GO? But I’m only saying this because I have no real recommendation tbh. For offline I can recommend Ravenfield. It’s really fun even though the native Linux version is kind of broken when using mods which is kinda the point of the game. Works fine using Proton though
Honestly, my only reason not to play CSGO is that I spent all of highschool playing it and just don’t enjoy it anymore.
hl2 Deathmatch
game is a crazy amount of fun
Krunker is nice for a quick match. You can play it directly from your browser or download it from steam
Some EAC games support linux like halo. I played MCC and the performance was fine, but I found the game to be unstable when interacting with the menu/UI.
I play apex legends and sometimes overwatch. Csgo is also an option but i haven’t played it yet
