So it will not play cyberpunk 2077, but if you prefer opensource drivers for your hardware, nouveau is certainly an option for some opensource gaming. Using kernel 7.0 from debian backports, I could run opensource classics requiring 3D acceleration flawlessly with nouveau: Supertux (Debian...

The Steam command line client, which I need to download the game data for the Doom3 BFG shooter, is only available as an Linux i386 binary. As my main home computer is an arm64 box, this could be an issue, but today we have no less than three different ways to run a Linux i386 binary on arm64:...

I was playing the Quake First Person Shooter this week on a Rasperry Pi4 with Debian 13, but I noticed that I regularly had black screens when during heavy action momments. By black screen I mean: the whole screen was black, I could return to the Mate Linux desktop, switch back to the game and it...

After playing some 16 bits era classic games on my Mist FPGA I was wondering what I could play on my Debian desktop as a semi-casual gamer. By semi-casual I mean that if a game needs more than 30 minutes to understand the mechanics, or needs 10 buttons on the gamepad I usually drop it. After...
