Hello,

I got a totally legitimate (/s) copy of Disco Elysium on my windows PC. When I moved it over to my Steam Deck I was able to get the .exe file to run through Steam, but I'm having a hard time moving my progress over.

I copied the saves folder over but I don't know where exactly I should place it since the game is technically a "non-Steam game" in my library, so the usual place where the Steam game saves are stored doesn't work.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me where I should put the savss folder. Thanks a lot in advance!

I migrate to linux about a year and a half ago, and the first thing that didn't work was portal, nothing that proton or vulkan can't handle, but in recent days when I restarted my save on Half-Life 2, I have great issues, now while i'm writing this, my GPU is trying to compile the Vulkan shaders for GMod and is slow as hell, someone has the same issue? fortunately on protonDB, each game has a great fix, but it's curious that modern Windows games, perform better that native old Linux Games.

I'm on Fedora 41

So I installed Divinity on my so to say old laptop and it performed quite well with a 30fps lock, but when I opened it the second time I started getting these errors.
It's a 100% vulkan problem since when I tried to run it with "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% it worked well but with a slightly less amount of fps.
I tried different protons. What should I do? Try GE-Proton?

I used to be able to get this game running on Ubuntu but I am now on POPOS and it doesnt work.

The game's rating on protondb is Gold which seems strange

This is a weird one~

I'm trying to set up Fluffy Mod Manager, but it's an .exe program, so it's not gonna work on the Steam Deck without Proton or some other compatiability. But when I try to add ModManager.exe to my Steam library, I hit a wall.

First, I go to "Add Non-Steam Game," I click "Browse," I find ModManager.exe-- but then on the menu where I can check the box next to the program's name and hit "Add Selected Program," it isn't on the list. In fact, I can't add any other .exe program to my Library. I could a few days ago, but not now! I can select a program in the little window with check boxes and THEN the "Add Selected Programs" button works, but I can't add a new program from "Browse." Very bizarre...

Also, don't tell me to use "Bottles," because it also doesn't work and honestly Bottles hasn't EVER worked properly. I dunno what I'm doing wrong, but no program ever runs when I use Bottles. It just literally never starts! Proton on Steam works perfectly, but now it's muckin' up, so please help!

System Specs:

• It's a Steam Deck OLED. I dunno what the specs are...

I’m thinking about switching from Windows to Linux mainly for better performance in video games, I’d like to know if the difference is really noticeable and if it’s worth the change overall I’m also looking for distro recommendations, I never have used any distro of Linux so I don't know anything about it, and I’m concerned about whether Dead By Daylight has issues on Linux

Hey guys I wanted to play GRB which is on my Ubisoft account sadly, the only game I have on that freakin launcher. I installed it with Lutris, downloaded all the depencies, vcredist and dx11, dx12, vulkan drivers and the newest runner. I entered Ubi Connect and downloaded the game, but whenever I launched it, it was stuck on the startup logo which appears on the center of the before the game fully launches. Can you help me fix it please? I have an nvidia card btw, if it is important and I get no errors on Lutris logs.

I have tried EVERY trick I can find to get my controller (Turtle Beach Rematch Core wired) to work in Linux Mint since about 2 days ago, to no avail. It vibrates when I plug it in, but when i push the XBox button nothing happens. jtest-gtk can detect it, but that's it. When I try moving the sticks and push buttons, nothing. The Controllers tab in Steam settings shows it as a generic XBox pad, bu nothing happens when I try to test the controller. I can NOT afford another controller at this time. Should I try another distro more that is more of a "gaming distro", such as Bazzite, or just bite the bullet and go back to Windows for the time being?

So i managed to get Roblox Studio working using Vinegar, and i also managed to get roblox working for a bit by using an online android emulator but it kicks me out cause roblox recognizes it as an emulator which it is sadly This shows how progressively worse Roblox’s anticheat is right now…

I'm on Arch with KDE Plasma, my CPU is an i5-7200U and my GPU is an Nvidia 940MX. There are other games that don't work but don't have that pop-up message that FragPunk gives me. The only ones that work are Celeste and TF2.
Thanks in advance to anyone able to help me.

I see Avowed has a gold rating on ProtonDB, so it seems most linux gamers are able to run this. But for me, it shows an empty black screen for a couple of minutes, then crashes with this message:

Lutris, fresh Kubuntu 25.10 installation, vulkan, mesa installed

I was able to install BG2 from GOG, WoT from Steam.

I just clicked Epic Games Store in Lutris, and lutris tries to install it:

from logs:

warning: You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX. Note that many verbs only install 32-bit versions of packages. If you encounter problems, please retest in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug. ... can't install epic launcher lutris warning: wine-ge-8-26-x86_64/bin/wine cmd.exe /c echo '%AppData%' returned empty string, error message "" ------------------------------------------------------ Monitored process exited. Initial process has exited (return code: 256) All processes have quit Exit with return code 256

however there is still one tiny window hanging:

"The Wine configuration in ..... is being updated, please wait..."

but 10 mins later nothing happens...

I have it installed on other PC with Kubuntu (however I did that like 1-2 years ago, I don't remember how, maybe I've just installed epic installer.exe manually and installed in Lutris?)

Any tips ?

• Arch Linux (kernel: 6.18.2)
• Hyprland: v0.52.2
• nvidia-open: 590.48.01
• mesa: 25.3.2
• gamescope: 3.16.19

Both the steam client and games start on the dGPU.

The steam client is a bit weird since it says steamwebhelper uses the dGPU as per lsof /dev/nvidia* (but not nvidia-smi). From testing launching the client wakes the gpu from sleeping for a bit, but then it goes back to sleep and using the client does not bring it back. Closing the client wakes it up for a bit again. This happens with all electron apps though and it's tolerable so it's not as much of a problem.

The second one is all steam games launch on the dGPU seemingly no matter what I do. A big problem with trying to google this is that everyone else seems to be having the exact opposite problem, and the fixes from the few posts available do not actually fix the issue in my case. Here are the things I've tried to remedy this:

• AQ_DRM_DEVICES="/dev/dri/amd-igpu" set in uwsm
• __EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/50_mesa.json set in uwsm
• __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=mesa
• DRI_PRIME=0
• MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT="1002:1900"
• gamescope --prefer-vk-device "1002:1900"

The complete steam launch command looks like this:

__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=mesa DRI_PRIME=0 MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT="1002:1900" gamescope --prefer-vk-device "1002:1900" -W 2560 -H 1600 -r 165 -f -- %command%

The games I've tested are CrossCode and Hollow Knight if that helps.

Also in order to use the iGPU as much as possible i do not have any env variables set as specified by https://wiki.hypr.land/Nvidia/.
