gnome-vrr VS AreWeAntiCheatYet

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/kylegospo/gnome-vrr/ :

  gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['variable-refresh-rate']"

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but by enabling this: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/kylegospo/gnome-vrr/ you can get vrr/vsync on Wayland for gnome, it can cause flickering but otherwise it's pretty good and got rid of any tearing and stuttering for me.

You can grab the patch from https://github.com/KyleGospo/gnome-vrr and build it.

Based on the comments in the AUR repo, I'd assume that the maintainer still invests time trying to update mutter-vrr. There seems to be a non-trivial issue when rebasing on Gnome 44, but I'm not able to assess how complex the problem actually is. (https://github.com/KyleGospo/gnome-vrr/issues/5)

Currently you can either use a Wayland DE that supports VRR, I know KDE has support for it, or use the gnome-vrr copr or build it yourself from his GitHub.

For fedora you can use https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/kylegospo/gnome-vrr/

Just wanted to share my updated PKGBUILD to enable VRR in Gnome 43.2. The original author has no time to update his AUR package it seems so i updated it myself with the sources from the Fedora COPR.

I only really play single player, but I have run into this too. This is a great resource to keep track of progress - https://areweanticheatyet.com/

It varies by game. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is an interesting resource for that because they also track announcements by developers about whether or not linux support is eventually planned.

AFAIK the games that don't work are more modern, competetive games that use Anticheat. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is a good resource to see the status of your game.

It is game by game basis. Use this guide to see if the game you play is supported or not.

The only caveat to that is online games with anti-cheat. EAC and BattlEye both support Linux but requires studios to tick a box, many of which refuse. Any kernel-layer AC that doesn't have a userspace component will not run on Linux. Can see a list of games and their AC support here.

> except Multiplayer online games

That's no longer the case. I'd say about now, there are more multiplayer games that you can play, as opposed to ones you can't play.

See: https://areweanticheatyet.com/ as reference, but it's not very up-to-date, so https://www.protondb.com/ would probably be a better reference.

Only listed the 'bigger' ones, but you have a rather full list here if you want to check your favorite games: arwianticheatyet.com

Nope, just works. There are some games that use invasive kernel-level anticheat that wont work as Linux sensibly blocks anything that shouldn't be messing with the kernel, but I'm not personally interested in those games anyway. EAC and Battleye both support Linux, but requires devs to tick a box, which there's several that can't be bothered.
