I ran on Bazzite during the server slam right before release with few issues that I ended up sorting out. Their discord is very helpful and had a dedicated Linux support channel (I imagine there is a similar dedicated channel now that the game has fully released). Embark Studios has also stated that while they don’t officially support Linux, they do support it on a best-effort basis and partner with a testing company that tests the game on Linux via Proton, so I wouldn’t expect it to suddenly stop working any time soon.

For the most part it runs better than it does on my W11 install. I can even force a 7000 series FSR4 on my 6800XT.

CachyOS using their native proton.

Arc Raiders runs flawlessly on Linux.

Arch.

No steps required.

Protondb exists for a reason.

Runs amazing on Kubuntu for me. The only issue I had was the mouse leaving the game to my other monitor. A steam launcher command fixed it pretty easily though!

Runs perfectly on mint

Yep just played for an hour on endeavouros using Wayland/hyprland

Lutris on NixOS! It runs fairly well, though sometimes Steam doesn’t start up at all. No crashes mid-game so far.

It just got Steam Deck verified.

It works fine.

Arch

The setup was install it and press play.

I did add the ENVs for HDR.

If anyone knows an easier way to manage all of my steam game’s wine versions and command line arguments, lmk

The game is listed as ‘Platinum’ on ProtonDB: https://www.protondb.com/app/1808500

Arc raiders is steam deck verifiied, so it should run great on Linux.

Running perfectly on Bazzite with a 4090.

The only issue I encountered is that the game really doesn’t like being installed to a second drive. The anti cheat throws a hissy fit about paths.

I have 82 hours and crashed once during a match early on. Otherwise flawless performance and experience.

Oh there is a small stutter when quest cutscenes begin to play for the first time but that’s not bad.

I’m on CachyOS atm, and the setup just required hitting the install button. I’m gonna be honest, this game runs incredibly good, even on my laptop. I’m getting well over 100fps stable, and I’ve got it on High settings with DLSS on Quality, but framgen off. I’m gonna test it for a few more matches, then see if I can crank it to Ultra and turn DLSS off.

it was also just Steam Deck verified.

Can’t speak for myself as I haven’t played it, but a good place I like to check is Protondb. Their page for Arc Raiders says it should be fully compatible :)

Obviously the folks posting at protondb can’t speak for anyone so hopefully some folks here have some helpful anecdotes!
