I switched full time to Linux back in January 2025.

I would love if more people would join, and many do join. However it is not the year of Linux and that is okay.

Linux has made a lot of strides to be much more user friendly. I don’t think this is at all a major issue for people.

And the terminal is easier and less needed than ever if you take the time to help yourself.

But I think that is the main issue.

The average person has forgotten or never learned to fucking learn.

We often half joke about it in IT that “school is mostly there to teach you how to learn yourself” because.. well it’s true. But for fuck sake when you see people that don’t even fucking try. It’s gone from being annoying to being sad.

What do you mean you didn’t even google how to install an operating system from a USB before you just formatted your harddrive?!?

What do you mean you don’t know how to install steam on <distro> it’s the first hit on any search machine.

It’s gotten more and more frequent how many people hear about a trendy topic like “leaving Microsoft for Linux” and then just going for it. We see 100s of tech channels that try it.. and yes it’s interesting to see but it also saddens me because again so many of these “tech people” fail to do the most basic thing ever.. fucking read..

Sorry I didn’t want to rant but I just.. feel like somewhere along the transition into everyone has a computer we forgot to teach the user how to think for themselves.

Hi everyone, I passed to Linux mint about 5 mouth later, I had a lot of beautiful aspect with this change, also in gaming, but, in the last week I had a problem with the game "A way out". I installed it, on steam, with geproton 10.27 and I gamed without any problem, but, after I installed the update to mint 22.3 Zena, I found a problem with the EA app, because steam, when I started that game, installed on his sandbox a version of Ea games, for the access and after, the game started. But after the update, this don't happened yet, in fact when I start the game, the EA all don't open and the boot of game stopped. I tried to remove the compatdata files, to change the versions of proton, I installed the 32bit libraries of vulkan but nothing works. Someone can help me, please?

Game runs, everything seems fine so far(new world, so not that far in), but I can't seem to use minecarts? If I press R or right click on them, it spawns the minecart, but stationary in mid-air. Restarting made it kinda work, but then I'd start phasing through the world if I rode the rails... Any ideas...?

I'm on Proton 10.0-4, pop!OS. Playing the native version makes the interface too small...

Last time I tried playing For Honor trough ubisoft connect I killed nearly a day tinkering with stuff and scraping the web for clues, got stuck on an anticheat error.

After 10 hours of tweaking, my FPS is lower, my anticheat doesn't work, and my shaders are still caching... but at least I'm not on Windows. 🐧💻

I just want to play competitive games on Linux! Is it too much to ask?

Am I the only one, or who else just feels unpleasant and overwhelmed with everything around Windows 11 and everything they throw at us and how they ruining our experiences with almost every new update? And now not to forget to mention how they just randomly gave the FBI every encryption key to the security of each user.... This isn't a regular Windows OS System.... I have the feeling they purely just want to sell data for profits.

But this is where they crossed the line! In my opinion it's a great time to switch to Linux. Only problem (as you can read it from the title) some competitive games just don't work on Linux, which is sad. I would love to play LoL or BF6 on Bazzite, while doing Productivity on Chrome OS (there is a possibility to download it as a operating system on a desktop PC). Like... Why isn't it happening?

You might remember me as the one who caused some "chaos" in the Linux Community, but this time I provide taht from happening, by just asking things and may start calm any reasonable conversation

Got picked for the steam hardware survey! Unfortunately, the first machine was my windows boot. So, did that survey, and immediately rebooted into CachyOS, to do that one. Then booted my Mac, and did the survey there too. Didn't get the prompt on my steamdeck though, so might not bother with my Bazzite machine...

Title.

I know a lot of people are anti live service AAA games these days, but I'm personally a fan of a few. As it turns out, Ubisoft actually added the Linux patch for EAC a few years ago and it works flawlessly on Linux through steam!

The figures and malfunctions of Windows are chilling, and that might explain why people are migrating to Linux:

Hello, Linux gamers. Recently, I've been struck with an idea of switching to Linux completely, because of the AI slop going on with Microslop recently. It's been like that for a month, but now I'm back on Windows because of the issues arised. And I hate it with all my heart, but can't do anything about it. Maybe you guys can suggest me something

I can't understand what's wrong with the G-Sync
To clarify, I've got an ASUS TUF F17 (2023, FX707-ZV4) model with Intel Core i7-12700H and RTX 4060, which has a G-Sync capable display. It works flawlessly on Windows, but feels really off in Linux. I've been testing it for some time and made a conclusion that it is not active, for whatever reason, in most apps and games. I don't have an OSD, because the monitor is internal, so I can't really tell if it works or not programatically, but I can't feel the smoothness of Windows. Basically, everything above ~95FPS feels BUTTERY smooth, and I mean it. On Linux, however, it's quite jerky. The interesting part is, however, is that in native CS2 version I limited the FPS to 90 and it still was smooth, so VRR is definetly working, but in the games I play the most (THE FINALS, ARC Raiders) it became really uncomfortable, although I don't really loose much FPS (mostly 10-15 frames less than Windows, I'm fine with it), getting around 90-120.

The laptop itself is in dGPU mode almost all the time, so that musn't be the issue

I was on CachyOS, latest release, tried with different DEs and WM (MangoWC, Plasma, GNOME, Cosmic, all latest)

Im on fedora KDE and when launching poe2 and using the steam Performance overlay, it shows my dedicated rtx5060 at around 60% and my igpu at >100%. This is think causes microstutters ingame. I have installed nvidia drivers properly and poe ingame settings show my rtx5060. I tried wayland and x11, fullscreen and windowed.

Am i overlooking something?

I use __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command% as launch Option. Do i need something else?

Hi,

PoE is crashing on startup with gamescope, seemingly randomly. It crashes like 5-n times, and after I restart steam or just without doing anything, it will boot.

I'm using gamescope with these parameters:

LD_PRELOAD="" XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=de gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -f -F fsr -r 180 --adaptive-sync --backend sdl --force-grab-cursor -- env LD_PRELOAD="$LD_PRELOAD" %command%

I suspect it might be because of vulkan, because other games (e.g. Hunt Showdown) boot without issues in gamescope.

Those are logs when gamescope is crashing - any1 experienced that before? I need gamescope with sdl backend for poe, because else it behaves weird in my compositor (niri) when switching focus.

This is Little Richard The preacher, This is something so different from the rest of his work that it could only be at the very center and heart of his work or it would have died in him long ago.

Enjoy, I could not give better advice than Little Richard offers us if I tried.

SOLVED

Launch options: "WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winepulse.drv=d"

AUDIO WARNING - very loud video!!!!!!!

Hey Guys,

i have a problem while starting Red Dead Redemption 2 on cachy os. On every start from the game, i get that annoying sound, which i can not turn off.

I tried different proton versions, like 9, 10.04, GE-Proton 10.15. In addition i tried the launch parameter "PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command%" which i found on protondb and updated my OS. Nothing really worked.

Does somebody else encounter this problem and could fixed it?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to run Overwatch on Linux (Bazzite, KDE Plasma) through Steam and Proton, but I keep running into problems. The game will start fine, but once I get into a match, my movement starts “gliding” all over the place. It feels laggy and almost like teleporting. Sometimes while the game is running, Discord will freeze completely with a black window or even crash, while the rest of the system seems fine.

I’ve tried some common fixes:

• Setting the CPU governor to performance with sudo cpupower frequency-set -g performance
• Launching Overwatch with DXVK_ASYNC=1 gamemoderun %command%
• Turning off “Allow background processing of Vulkan shaders” in the game
• Using GameMode
• Monitoring CPU usage with top/htop while playing

Here’s what I’ve noticed:

• CPU usage is uneven. A few cores spike while most stay mostly idle
• Memory usage looks fine and swap is not being used
• The system freezes usually happen when menus are open or Discord tries to launch while Overwatch is running

System specs:

• OS: Bazzite Linux (Fedora-based)
• Kernel: 6.17.7-ba25.fc43.x86_64
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X (16 threads, 5.58 GHz)
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER
• RAM: 30 GB
• Display: 27” 2560×1440 at 240 Hz
• Compositor: KDE Plasma 6.5.5, KWin, currently running on Wayland

Other info:

• Overwatch installed through Steam
• Using Proton, currently Proton Experimental
• CPU governor set to performance while testing

Has anyone else run into system-wide freezes or severe in-game stutter on a setup like this? Any tips on how to get smooth gameplay without menus or Discord freezing?

I was recently gifted a Dell Inspiron 7720 laptop. From what I understand, it has hybrid graphics (Intel 3rd gen integrated graphics + Nvidia GeForce GT 650M), which might be causing my issues.

My goal at this point is just run Steam and play basic/non-AAA games.

I first installed Linux Mint 22.3, but after hours of troubleshooting, I read that Mint 21.3 might have better compatibility, so I switched to that. Something about needing kernel 6.8 but not being able to get that working.

Linux is very new to me. I grew up on Windows and I’m using ChatGPT to help me, especially with terminsl commands. Unfortunately, I keep hitting different errors no matter what drivers or fixes I try.

Issues I’ve run into:

Mint 21.3:

• steamwebhelper won’t load • Steam gets stuck in a loop • vgui2\_s.so module fails to load

Mint 22.3:

• Steam launches, but games crash immediately

At this point I’m wondering:

• Is there a distro that works better with older hybrid Nvidia laptops like mine? • Is there a beginner-friendly guide I should follow instead of blindly trusting ChatGPTs suggestions? • A coworker suggested Bazzite — would that be a better choice? He certainly doesn’t have hardware as old as mine and I prefer the UI in mint.

Please keep in mind I’m basically a Linux beginner. I used to code a bit as a kid, but modern Linux feels overwhelming.

Any advice would really help. Thanks!

Obviously I used ChatGPT to clean this question up a bit, hope that doesn’t bug anyone but it’s damn sure better at formatting than I am.
