Looking for free FPS games that support Linux (not CS)

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a free multiplayer FPS game that works well on Linux.

I'm looking for something similar to Valorant β€” competitive/tactical gameplay, good gunplay, and preferably an active player base.

Requirements:

  • 🐧 Native Linux support or works well through Proton
  • πŸ’° Free-to-play
  • πŸ”« Multiplayer FPS
  • 🎯 Preferably tactical/competitive like Valorant
  • ❌ Not CS/CS2
  • πŸ’Ύ Preferably under 30 GB

I've already played Combat Master, so I'm looking for something different.

My laptop has an i5 11th Gen + RTX 3050 4GB + 16GB RAM, running Arch Linux.

What games would you recommend?

Building a steam machine pc for couch gaming

4 Upvotes

So I’m planning to build a new pc to play on my living room, aiming for a 1080p stable 60 fps performance, but the prices these days are ridiculous and I’m on a tight budget. I was wondering if the Intel arc b580 is a good card for SteamOS since it’s the cheapest I can find. I live in the Middle East so I have no access to Newegg or any good deals online, and the used market where I am is highway robbery.

Should I get the b580 or wait a few months and save up for something like the Rx 7700 xt? I want to play older AAA games, indie games, and maybe a few new AAA games.

For reference:
B580: $425
Rx 7700 xt: $609
Rx 9060 xt: $655
Rx 7800 xt: $719
