I've done a bit of research since I made a post 2 years ago on the pop_os sub, but I can't understand why AMD Mesa driver are stricter about GLSL shaders than NVIDIA that accepts, as some sites say, "broken" or non-standard as non-conformant coding shader. I'm at loss and can't wrap up my head around.

Does anyone else have all kinds of problems with this? The last post I see on the issue was like 9 months ago, and it was a celebration of 'yay we have audio now' which is nice, and it does seem to output audio now. In fact it sure looks and sounds like if I stream on Linux, I get pretty much the full experience.

There's just one problem now which is I am getting bizarre black artifacting. I'm on Arch Wayland with an NVIDIA GPU, so I don't know, maybe that's the problem, but I dunno. Obviously, everything is fine when on Windows. Anyway, so it does work, but it's just not good enough to stream, not really. The 'artifacting' basically takes the form of a weird black bar that flashes on the screen for a microsecond.

Anyone else get this? Anyone else fix it?

Hi,

It could be the fact that I am on mobile, but I was hoping I could find a Linux install for dummies.

Specifically for Mint/Pop/whatever the actual best OS for a lifetime windows user and someone who only has minor Ubuntu experience should install.

If I missed a completely obvious pinned post I apologize.

Best, BHN

Is there a website or tool to check what version drivers, proton, other translators, to use with spesific games? I think i stumbled upon something like this some time ago, but I cant remember it's name or if it's still maintained. If not, is this something that is wanted?

Hello guys. I have no background in programming, CS, anything like that. I am a law student in a Central European country. I am not significantly more tech literate than the average person, as I only know several bash commands, plus I google more if need be.

However, my computer has had Linux (more precisely, Ubuntu) installed for the past 3,5 years. I used to dualboot Windows for precisely one game - Counter-Strike 2. However, after I got rid of my addiction to that game, I discarded Windows.

I play all of my video games on Linux, I am writing my graduation thesis using LibreOffice on Linux, and so forth.

Would you even consider me to be a Linux user, even without deep programming background?

Thoughts?

So I've been trying out Linux gaming on an older gaming laptop with Bazzite for awhile and been having a good time. My main gaming PC (on Windows 11) chose to completely die last week, and I just ordered an all-AMD build with the intent to switch to Linux primarily. However there will be a few games that just won't be viable in Linux because of anti-cheat, so I'm going to maintain a separate m.2 drive with a small Windows 11 install on it for the few games that I can't easily do in Linux.

My question: is there any kind of elegant tool for managing dual-booting in this scenario? My last experience with dual-booting OS's for gaming purposes was back in the Intel Macbook Pro days when I had a Windows 7 install for gaming, and managing it at the time was super easy (in terms of getting it set up, easily choosing which OS to boot into when turning on the PC, etc.).

Hello

I've become stumped. On every game I try the game starts with proton without ever opening the steamtinkerlaunch window. i've set the forced compatibility to open with steamtinkerlaunch so the window should open. When i forcibly try to open the window in terminal this error comes up:

/home/xxx/stl/prefix/steamtinkerlaunch: line 5808: : command not found

i went out and checked what the line 5808 was and its this

"$YAD" --f1-action="$F1ACTION" --image "$SHOWPIC" --image-on-top --scroll --center --window-icon="$STLICON" --form --center "$WINDECO" --title="$TITLE" \"$YAD" --f1-action="$F1ACTION" --image "$SHOWPIC" --image-on-top --scroll --center --window-icon="$STLICON" --form --center "$WINDECO" --title="$TITLE" \

something to do with yad, but i have it up to date (9.3). not sure what else to do anymore.

Hello,

I'm trying to get Naruto Online running without much success (link to game website). It's a Flash game, but since its deprecation it moved to a downloadable game client in the form of .exe. I tried running it in Bottles 52.1 with different runners and dependencies, as well as through Steam as a non steam game on different proton versions. The furthest I got is, the game installs fine and the login window pops up as intended, but it is black and non-interactive apart from moving its position on the screen and X button for closing.

As for flash, I tried using Ruffle, the loading screen appears and even loading screen animation starts playing, but it gets stuck at 0% with the message "[flash/core/LoginConfig.xml] loading failed!" (the message is in the place where it says what's currently happening, like checking version, loading assets...).

I've been stuck at this for a while; whether it's for wine, flash or something else, any help is very appreciated.

inxi -Fxz

console output when bottles is started with terminal, launch the game, minimize the game window, restore it, move it, and close with X button (from line 531 to the end is printed once the window is interacted with)

System summary:

Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon v.6.4.8
Linux Kernel 6.14.0-35-generic
Laptop HP ProBook 430 G3
CPU Intel Core i3-6100U
GPU Intel Skylake GT2

I'm using prism launcher on my Linux Mint to play Minecraft, and every single version, whether it be new or old, has this one weird problem. The game runs fine, the system was work, but for some reason the moment I tried to close out of the game, or if the game crashes, my computer just completely crashes, unable to do literally anything except move my mouse.

I have done a lot of different fixes, and none of them work. So I'm reaching out to the community to hope that you guys can help. Forgive my blurred speech, I am very tired and I just want this to be fixed.

Hi, i currently rocking a 5700G that is getting a bit long in the tooth. I sold my main computer three years ago and used this since then. I love the silence and power efficiency.

Currently, there are three options for me to consider:

1. Get Strix Halo in form of the smallest framework desktop (385 with 8050s should be plenty for my use case)

2. Wait for Steam Machine (could be a long wait if i remember from steam deck)

3. get 8700g now and replace my motherboard, ram and cpu, essentially only reuse my drives, psu and case

Main use case is working (freecad, krita etc), but i often fire up a game or two. I use steam for every game and often stream to my steam deck. However, i often get the impression, that the game is running better on steamdeck itself, i basically only stream to it because of the storage.

Every day i am using my 5700G, i feel it more and more. World of warships is running badly, BG3 is almost unplayable, it is no fun.

I don't want a full pc again so i am looking for a small portable machine that i can take with me on vacation or to work.

VKD3D-Proton is one of the secret ingredients for Proton to make so many Windows games work well on Linux / SteamOS with a new 3.0 release out now.
