Lurker done lurking.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 3 Stunden 43 Minuten

Thinking about making the switch full-time and I had some questions before fully making the switch.

Specs: Ryzen 5600X 16 GB DDR4 GTX 1060 6GB 500 GB WD Black SSD 4 TB Seagate HDD (2*2TB) 650W PSU

  1. Which distro is great for gaming but is also compatible with my GPU? I know NVIDIA hates Linux, and vice versa but I know there are some friendly options.

  2. Can Linux access my HDDs if they're NTFS formatted? Played around with this, but I couldn't fully figure it out, but I have games already installed so I'd like to know.

  3. How easy is it to run the aforementioned games? Am I better off reinstalling everything from Steam or is it as easy as installing proton and I'm on my merry way?

Thanks in advance!

How to set permissions for a portable steam library?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 5 Stunden 33 Minuten

I've very recently made the jump to linux and have been having a bunch of issues. This has caused me to distrohop a bunch, seeing if anything resolves it. Knowing that I might end up doing this I set up my steam library on a separate volume so I'm not re-downloading terrabytes of data every time I reformat my main drive. Unfortunately this seems to have produced a situation where I can't reliably use the library.

The files are all there, and I can import the library into steam such that it sees them as installed, but any time I try to run a game it basically instantly quits out--even games that I know will run on my system. If I install a game to my home directory on my main volume it runs. If I then reinstall that game to my designated portable library it will no longer run. I'm guessing there's some sort of permissions issue blocking things, but I don't see anything on the console and am not quite sure where to start.....Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've already tried:

  • chmod -R a+rwx to the whole volume

  • chgrp -R gamers to the whole volume and adding my user to the gamers group

  • playing around with mounting options for the volume. my current fstab entry for the drive looks like this monstrosity as I just keep adding things hoping it will resolve:

UUID=68614700-1b0e-455b-9f84-5ceed04d2215 /mnt/games btrfs defaults,exec,suid,rw,users,noatime,lazytime,commit=120,discard=async,compress-force=zstd:1,space_cache=v2 0 0

any sort of direction would be really appreciated. I don't have enough physical space on my main volume to support the library, and I also definitely don't want to have to redownload the whole thing....

Run Fifa 23 on KVM.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 5 Stunden 47 Minuten

Hi guys!

I have this problem. I have an Alt Linux Workstation K running KVM with a Windows 10 guest machine on which I am trying to run FiFa23. The game itself installs normally, goes through Anticheat and freezes on a small black window... (Could you tell me what I’m doing wrong, and whether it’s even possible to run this game on this virtual machine, because on Steam under Linux the game tells me that Wine is not supported... (Windows Firewall is turned off and I also have 3D acceleration enabled. Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you are my only hope. ;)

So it goes!

Not exactly Linux related, but should I update my BIOS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 6 Stunden 47 Sekunden

I am not having any issues but I noticed my BIOS was a couple of versions behind, is there any reason I should update or do I risk doing more damage than good messing around with the BIOS?

Edit: AsRock B450M pro4, currently installed BIOS version 3.10, update to version 3.5 (latest compatible version)

My kernel's GPU drivers are bugged, and I don't know what to do.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 6 Stunden 18 Minuten

Hey all,

I'm new to Linux Mint, and thus the answer is probably very obvious, but since I built my PC (also first time) about a week ago, with a 7800xt, I haven't been able to play games, with the exception of Geometry Dash. I primarily use steam, and have tried using 3 different versions of Proton, as well as the latest version of Proton GE. I've tried different game launchers, kernel updates, and installed a lot of different things. The games that haven't worked are: Satisfactory, Deep Rock Galactic and Content Warning. I've realised that my GPU drivers register as "N/A", and have tried to fix it. I used this article, following it to a T, yet it hasn't worked. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=370633#firmware. I feel pretty demotivated so I'm turning to here as my last resort.

Here is additional info:

Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

I am getting 2 different OLD mini systems. Please recommend good Linux OS for each one.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 8 Stunden 3 Minuten

Here's the specs...

Two (2) included: t5745, Linux ThinPro OS, 1GB Flash/1GB RAM, 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N280 (Product Number VU903AA#ABA)

One (1) included: gt7725, Linux ThinPro OS, 1GB Flash/2GB RAM, 2.3GHz AMD Turion X2 (Dual Core) (Product Number NG815AA#ABA)

I'm thinking of using the t5745 for DOS games. So the other t5745 I am thinking of setting up with Roms and Batocera for my living room. Atari, Nintendo, Gameboy, etc. Any other suggestions?

The gt7725 though. Should I install anything else on it for a Linux OS? I know it's obviously more powerful. Powerful being relative here.

Thanks for looking!

Bazzite vs CachyOS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 8 Stunden 39 Minuten

Hi all!
I'm currently running CachyOS for its "cutting-edge of the cutting-edges" to test updates, and be up to date with Linux and how fast it's progressing with Gaming. Playing with VMs and some configurations. I really like it.

Bazzite came into my radar, and it looks awesome, it's pretty stable from what I've seen and it just works, it's not the latest of the latests in terms of testing but it's pretty up to date.

What do you think about it?

What distro would you choose between those two?

My plan is to ditch Windows for good when Linux is stable to run most of the things I need without issues (thx nvidia)

Steam doesnt open in linux mint 21.3

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. April 2024 - 23:23

A few months ago I started using linux, Steam had been working perfectly until today, I wanted to connect my dualshock 4 but it was giving me problems. One of the solutions I found was to install the steam-devices from terminal. I closed steam completely and ran the command sudo apt install steam-devices But when I start steam again I just get a window that says "An error occurred while starting the application". I checked the command that runs the desktop shortcut and runs the steam application from the path /usr/bin/steam But checking the folder it seems that now there is no such file. Does anyone know if there is any way to fix it? Or at least some way to uninstall it completely to reinstall it again?

Hello folks! I want to build me a new gaming pc. I have used Linux before and love it on the steam deck. So maybe you guys could help me out with a hot or not list for parts. I know that NVIDIA is not perfect for Linux and I am all down for a red only build. I want to play 2k and max/ultra settings. Thanks in advance.

Offload game rendering with prime to the AMD gpu, with the display plugged into an Nvidia card

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. April 2024 - 22:28

I’ve been eying a pretty good deal for a used 6700 xt, the only problem is that the video ports don’t work. I’ve seen a number of people using amd cards for rendering the desktop and nvidia cards for games, but I’m in an opposite situation, my only card right now is nvidia with proprietary drivers. I’m a little confused as to what command I should use to make the amd card render games but have the display plugged into the Nvidia card. Do I use_ _NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD or DRI_PRIME?
