"How To Set Up Fedora Linux For Gaming - Step-by-Step Terminal Guide"

This video covers setting up Fedora for gaming so that you can play both native and Windows developed games using Steam Proton or Lutris.

All commands below are done through the Terminal.

Step 1. Update The System.

sudo dnf update

Step 2. Install Latest Nvidia Proprietary Driver.

Fedora uses Wayland as its Display Server which has problems working with nVidia GPUs, so switch to Gnome on Xorg instead.

Once done, reboot your system.

Step 3. Install Steam and Enable Proton.

Open up Gnome Software and navigate to Software Repositories and make sure that RPM Fusion For Fedora – Nonfree – Steam is Enabled.

Next open up a Terminal and run the following command:

sudo dnf install steam

Then open Steam and navigate to Steam / Settings / Steam Play, tick the Enable Steam Play for all other titles and restart Steam to apply.

Step 4. Install Wine.

sudo dnf install wine

Step 5. Install Lutris.

sudo dnf install lutris

Step 6. Install Feral Gamemode.

sudo dnf install gamemode

Step 7. Enable Gamemode With Steam And Lutris.

To enable Gamemode for a game in Steam, right click on a game’s properties, navigate to Set Launch Options and type the following:

gamemoderun %command%

Then click Close, and finally OK.

Alternatively for Lutris, Gamemode is usually enabled by default, but can be toggled off.
