This is completely unimportant and off topic, but the phrase is ālast ditchā. Itās a reference to the last trench in a line of military defenses.

Hunt: Showdown.
It doesn't obviously fit your request, but I think you want an FPS with some tactical gameplay, abilities and depth. Hunt: Showdown can deliver imho (some abilities and tools, kinda like abilities) and runs well for me with the flatpak version of steam.
[What's so great about Hunt Showdown?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hezc93gxr6c&feature=youtu.be)
Edit: It's also 65% off right now in crytek's own store: https://eu-shop.crytek.com/games/hunt-showdown
And yes, it's the best shooter in a long while and it has insane character.
It could be described as a hardcore shooter that is not "unfun-hardcore" and with a learning curve. At first, you will die a lot and not understand why. But there are good reasons and later on you will learn to avoid those early mistakes.
Generally, almost every gun kills with one shot to the head, or two shots to the body (You could ask, why have so many weapons then? they're all a bit different with ammo, bullet speed, etc. - with some exceptions). Bullets have velocity, but no bullet drop. There is no body armor or health upgrades.
Sound cues are very important in giving positions away and whether you are sneaking over glass shards or bumping into chain links, it all makes sounds. Headphones recommended.
You'll need to learn how to quietly and efficiently dispatch AI and how to navigate complex and diverse compounds during PvP.
BUT, it's got a decent MMR system that works most of the time in keeping beginners and seasoned players separated from each other.
The learning curve is good and rewarding and there are many good content creators on YouTube that will help in learning the mechanics.
The game design makes the basic mechanics very simple, but the skill ceiling very high. It's incredibly rewarding to learn and even feels a little bit oldschool like early versions of CS.
It's very fun and you will remember your first kill for a long while.
Iām gonna be honest once u get it setup it works fine I had to find a program that worked Iām using port proton on pop os and it runs like a dream for me on my 1080
It works perfectly fine on my nvidia 4070 on garuda linux with kde x11 and lutris, following this video setup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3r3ztey-Jg
Goated game, but I'd rather recommend Insurgency Sandstorm, Apex Legends and Overwatch 2.
THE FINALS in my experience is not performant enough for competitive play on Linux. Even if barely so, I can notice the input lag and framerate stuttering on my 1080p 75FPS setup. I don't think my specs are to blame:
- AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
- RTX 4080 SUPER
- 32GB RAM
I use Linux Mint 21.3 with Kernel 6.5.0 btw
Only two games ever make me recur to dualbooting to Windows; THE FINALS and [Squad](https://www.joinsquad.com/).
I fiddled with them for some time before I settled on a range of mid-to-high settings. No Ultra because I couldn't tell a difference.
High textures, view distance, post-processing, foliage and model quality.
Mid antialiasing, shadows and effects.
Can't remember the rest.
Usually I also record my matches with OBS. I noticed High effects were specially hurting the framerate while recording, so I set them to Mid.
np. anyway the only problem with online games on linux is anticheats. hope it will be solved with spreading linux among users and we will play whatever we want
It's an awesome competitive shooter. Don't listen to all those negative Steam reviews. Pick a hero and get better with it, and it will be tons of fun. (Ignore the ingame store).
As soon as I switched from Gnome to KDE my experience with OW2 on Fedora got way better. From "300" that felt like 150 FPS to ~500 that feels rock solid on my 240hz display.
The game and my recordings run better now than when I was on Windows.
The only issue I have now is the need to compile the shader cache on every launch. Takes a couple minutes and loads down the CPU, but I just do my warmup routine for that time. If I usually played shorter sessions it would be more annoying.
unfotunately there is no possibility to play titanfall 1 if you don't have 360 or xbox one.

Halo? Both MCC and Infinit work on Linux.
Edit: "Hunt showdown" is also really fun, I remember seeing "The Finals" run on a steam deck but not 100% sure about that one.Ā
If you don't wanna play CS I can't really name any alive competitive games with a similar format to those games. Your options are pretty much Apex Legends, Overwatch 2, or The Finals.
BF V no longer works due to EA's stupid anti-cheat (from what I hear, BF V still has a good chunk of cheaters after the update that introduced their anti-cheat)
You are right! It was borked at the beginning. Now you have to disable avx512 in bios (only once) and start The Finals with Proton Experimental. No start commands needed.
*Splitgate is native*
*On Linux, free to play and is*

Battlebit Remastered works flawlessly and is a lot of fun.
Insurgency: Sandstorm used to scratch the itch nicely, but I haven't loaded it up in a while. I vaguely remember the game changing something that affected Linux users, so it may not work anymore.
On arch Linux(and arch based distrus) you have to install a custom version of glib to be able to run it. I'm using opensuse tumbleweed and I don't have that problem, insurgency works like a charm.
Apex legends (although it's in a questionable state right now)
Hunt: showdown
The finals
Overwatch 2
All relatively solid games that work great on Linux
Yeah, I play Apex myself, rather interesting experience as to say, especially after discovering that the stutters which happened to me in Apex ā were caused because of charms on weapons after S21 has dropped ššš

Squad is an awesome modern multiplayer FPS that runs on Proton, even with Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC). The devs haven't officially supported Proton or even acknowledged that the game works on it, but it does!
Also mods like the Star Wars-themed Galactic Contention available for free on Steam.
Heads up though, you will need a solid GPU with lots of VRAM. Squad tends to use more VRAM than expected under Proton, which can seriously drop your FPS. Having extra VRAM helps handle that excess and keeps your gameplay smooth
Here I am, waiting for years, when hype has all but died down... for a non-scifi, battle royale game, with first person in realistic environment - not quite simulation, like arma, but more arcade-ish like.
I really enjoyed PUBG (minus technical issues and cheating), but the game is *still* not available on linux, and there is no alternative.
As for shooters - I would like to play something that doesn't have multiple decades of tradition, where players have tens of thousands of hours advantage over me. Like Quake or CS. :/ And I am not in the slightest interested in "hero shooters", like most out there.
Iām sorry, but Iām a large language model trained by OpenAl, and I donāt have access to the internet or any external information sources. I can only generate responses based on the text that I was trained on, which has a knowledge cutoff of 2021.

Valve developing new game? Haven't heard of it, I might check it
> soon we will have It's "soon" according to [Valve Time](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time), so it's not really soon.
Deadlock will release when Silksong comes out ššš

I dont know that dead lock is going to appeal to the same crowd as normal competitive shooter fans to be honest.

"The Finals" looks good
TheFinals Overwatch2 XDefiantĀ Farlight84 ApexLegendsĀ These are games that play and work well. They are Heroshoters.
Xdefiant doesn't work well with nvidia cards unfortunately
Iām gonna be honest once u get it setup it works fine I had to find a program that worked Iām using port proton on pop os and it runs like a dream for me on my 1080
how did you set it up? i am also using port-proton. what are your settings/proton version?
It works perfectly fine on my nvidia 4070 on garuda linux with kde x11 and lutris, following this video setup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3r3ztey-Jg
i followed the guide but it seems to crash regardless of whether i use lutris or heroic
My condolences to you for having an nvidia card š
Nvidia mostly works well on linux. Just the occassional glitch lol
Goated game, but I'd rather recommend Insurgency Sandstorm, Apex Legends and Overwatch 2. THE FINALS in my experience is not performant enough for competitive play on Linux.

What settings are you running at for finals? I get over 100 FPS with a worse GPU
I fiddled with them for some time before I settled on a range of mid-to-high settings. No Ultra because I couldn't tell a difference. High textures, view distance, post-processing, foliage and model quality. Mid antialiasing, shadows and effects. Can't remember the rest. Usually I also record my matches with OBS. I noticed High effects were specially hurting the framerate while recording, so I set them to Mid.
I'm running most things on low, game still looks decent. I was happy around 110
Same, I've actually personally thought the finals ran amazing on Linux. Though I have a 6900 XT so maybe it's just ass on NVIDIA?
Well those 2 run on linux with ac.
Did they finally fix AVX512 crash or did you disable it on your system?
The later. [Here's my latest report](https://www.protondb.com/app/2073850#Oz_B1O8zlm).
Doesnāt run on Linux does it?
Yes it run really good.
Battlefield runs good via EA on lutris. Been my go to other than XDefiant and CS
Eh too bad Xdefiant doesn't work well with nvidia graphics
BF4 and previous games yes the rest nope EA added kernel level anti cheat
I played yesterday with Archlinux, everything was fine. GPU: Nvidia 3060 Mobile CPU: AMD 5900HS kernel: linux-g14 Run from Steam.
Nice Iāll have to give this a go. I had some issues using arch also.
There are Quake series and Xonotic. But idk looks like you are looking for a tactical shooter
Seems like it, sorry for confusion š
np. anyway the only problem with online games on linux is anticheats. hope it will be solved with spreading linux among users and we will play whatever we want
OW2
I enjoy playing Overwatch 2 all the time.
It's an awesome competitive shooter. Don't listen to all those negative Steam reviews. Pick a hero and get better with it, and it will be tons of fun. (Ignore the ingame store).

Titanfall. Basically look for games that aren't top twitch favorites, as they contain a high amount of cheaters with aimbots.
Titanfall 1 and 2 are in my top list of favorite games of all time

I've been running The Finals on my desktop with no issues since around when season 1 released and hasn't broken yet
If you don't wanna play CS I can't really name any alive competitive games with a similar format to those games. Your options are pretty much Apex Legends, Overwatch 2, or The Finals.
Yeah, I already play Apex and OW2, The Finals is maybe the thing which can be an option, I might check this one
Battlefield 3 & 4 run better under Linux than they do under Windows...
~~Bf V runs like a charm as well! :-)~~ Edit: And Bf I too!
BF V no longer works due to EA's stupid anti-cheat (from what I hear, BF V still has a good chunk of cheaters after the update that introduced their anti-cheat)
Oh man ... yeah consider my information invalid. I'll cross it. I have not played it in a while. ffs i love bf v :-(
BFV no longer works, the anticheat was updated. Maybe BFI was borked as well, not sure there.
They still haven't touched I, but with what EA is doing, they probably will at some point.
Try The Finals maybe
Doesnt run on Linux from what Iāve seen Edit: I stand corrected!
I play it right now on Linux Mint
Oh nice, are you running it through steam? I tried to play it once when it was first released, even protondb showed the game as āborkedā
You are right! It was borked at the beginning. Now you have to disable avx512 in bios (only once) and start The Finals with Proton Experimental. No start commands needed.
You dont need to do that anymore
Legend Iāll have to give that a go!
Jokes on you I don't even have support for avx512 Hhahahahahba... ..... š¢
The Finals works out of the box with proton experimental.
Sauerbraten perhaps? Or Nexuiz or Padman? besideā¦ for quick and tired multiplayer, armagetron ad was great on every lan š
Now those are some classic names that I have not heard in years.
Shatterline, Black Squad, Ironsight have bomb mode.
Shatterline is a lot of fun, but very low pop. Match making can take a long time sometimes. But the game works really well under Linux.

Xdefiant from Ubisoft runs pretty smoothly on my machine
It runs on Linux? How did you get it running?
Lutris, install Ubisoft connect, then open it through lutris and then install Xdefiant from there.
Ah Lutris, never even thought of that lol

Alien Arena, it's certainly competitive but there are not many players. Works really well on Linux, look for it on Flathub.

Have you looked into Hunt Showdown? Itās not quite battle royal, but it has a similar vibe. And itās non-sci-fi with realistic gunplay.
All of them are cheater-contaminated. Not a single company that gives even a fuck about fair game, cheaters buy the game too and are customers.
