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.
I play a lot of Apex Legends. It works very well on Linux.
Shatterline and Caliber
Both free to play, on Steam, and work using Proton.
Hunt Showdown runs on Linux with Proton and it has EAC
It does!? Since when, this is news to me.
Krunker is nice for a quick match. You can play it directly from your browser or download it from steam
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.
I like Xonotic
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!
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.
Bzflag
Jk
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
I play apex legends and sometimes overwatch. Csgo is also an option but i haven’t played it yet
Not sure if you’re fine with a paid game, but Halo: The Master Chief Collection recently got Linux support for multiplayer - though they have the Steam launch options reversed so you have to select EAC disabled at launch, in order for it to be enabled lol (thus allowing you to play online)
Additionally, Halo Infinite’s multiplayer mode is free, and also works on Linux.
Insurgency Sandstorm is pretty good and CS:GO is always a classic go-to.
