Ok so I installed bazzite and guess i installed the normal nvidia drivers but my games run less than ideal. I think its because im using my 1080ti. Do i need to reinstall with the normal nvidia iso or will it update with the correct drivers? Do i need to do something else to enable the 1080ti?

I just set up a dual boot of NobaraOS and Windows 11, with Noabara being my daily driver. However, there are some games that I want to play in both linux and windows. I want to only install the game once and be able to run it on both OS's. The problem i've been running into is with the filesystems. NTFS drives/partitions break proton compatibility, as I was not able to run the games in linux if they were installed in a NTFS partition.

Is there a way to do this without installing the game twice? I mean, its fine to do that i guess but kinda a waste of space

Im trying to set up remote play between a windows 11 host with an AMD 9070XT, and a linux client with an nvidia RTX3070. Both are wired to a LAN.

On the client box, for what its worth, I've tried Ubuntu 24.04, 25.04, and 25.10, and am now trying out Fedora 43.

The only way I can get streaming to work is if I turn off hardware decoding in the client. This always works despite my changing the OS or OS version. Otherwise, using hardware decoding on the client yields a black screen (i can see the windows cursor and hear audio, though).

I've played around with all of the host and client advanced settings on both boxes to try to get hardware encoding and decoding working properly, toggling the settings on and off to test.

Both boxes have the most recent drivers for their respective cards (25.11 for the host, 580 for the client).

I feel like I should be able to do hardware encode/decode as both cards support things like HEVC and are very new or just 2 gens behind.

For example, when attempting to stream Ghosts of Tsushima usijg hardware decoding and with the "show details" overlay, I can see that the host is using direct3d11 and AMD, and the client is using VAAPI DRM hardware decoding. I still get the same black screen w/ cursor+audio experience.

Am I fighting a losing battle here? Im not super well versed in how this all works but despite that, im trying to maximize the hardware I have, and it all seems so capable. I want to ensure that things like HDR on the client are working as well as they possibly can while displaying streaming content, and im presuming that getting hardware decode working will help there. Is software decode on the client something I shouldn't be so resistant to? Maybe trying to get AMD and Nvidia to do the encode/decode dance, to say nothing of windows and linux, is too much to ask?

Any tips or experience here from those in similar situations would be great to know.

Does this happen to anyone else? After launching the Steam client will restart randomly in the background for whatever reason. On the latest Fedora

I'm trying to mod skyrim, and a mod requests I have the latest Visual Studio Redistributable installed.

As it's made for Windows, I have zero idea on how I would go about getting it installed into a usable state.

Any help is appreciated, I have no idea what I'm doing!

It's a long shot, but here it goes. After the steam update yesterday, I can no longer run Path of Exile. If I try, I just get the error CreateDXGIFactory1: Call Failed. I tried reinstalling the game, didn't help. None of the Proton versions will allow the game to run, though I didn't use any of them beforehand. I have been playing this game for months with no problems until now.

After seeing the comments on my previous post, I decided to update my Linux kernel version and GPU drivers. Here are the results:

In Superposition, I was happy to see that the score increased from 17830 on kernel version 6.8 to 20640 on version 6.14. It even beat out the score on Windows 10 by a small margin. I guess my GPU was being held back by my outdated OS.

In Minecraft with SEUS PTGI shaders (4K High), I experienced a small uplift of 2fps on the new kernel version. This could very well be due to other reasons though, like the time of the day in game.

In CS2 (4K High preset), the average FPS in 6.14 is nearly unchanged compared to 6.8; however, the 97% FPS number increased by a small 9fps. This again could be attributed to inconsistencies in the benchmarking; for instance, the first run on version 6.8 was done over around 9 minutes, while the second run on version 6.14 was done over only 7 minutes.

Overall, the updated kernel did make a significant difference in Superposition, while improvements in other games were minimal.

Also, some people in the comments have suggested for me to switch to CachyOS (some others have suggested Endeavour, Bazzite, Nobara, Fedora, etc.), since Mint and other Ubuntu-based distros are slower for gaming. Should I try other distros like these next? If so, how should I proceed?

I will preface this by saying I know absolutely nothing about running files on a computer or script, I have a chrome os laptop and downloaded a Linux game from itch, and I can’t run it or open it. I can get as far as ‘open with terminal’ and that’s about it. I’m really sorry for being such a noob but if anyone is able to help walk me through the steps to playing a game I’ve waited weeks to play, I’d be unbelievably grateful.

Hello everyone, I have a mid level gaming PC, my specs are

AMD Ryzen 5600X AMD Radeon 9070 XT 16 GB RAM Samsung EVO 870 512GB

Still, when I play games like Arc Raiders my avg fps is 70 with many many stutters, hitting 28~30 fps.

I'm on void linux, mesa 25.2.4 (I run steam through kron4ek's conty), kernel 6.12.58, hyprland. My init options are:

SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 LSFG_PROCESS=arc mangohud gamemoderun %command%

The craziest thing is that neither my CPU nor my GPU usage hit 100% when I'm playing (seen through mangohud).

Are there any tips to improve my PC performance?

Thank you.

Okay! You all helped a ton! So it may be a janky way of fixing it. So I switched my steam compatibility to proton10. Once that was done I switched the compatibility for the game to proton8. Not sure what that works. But it does. Thank you again so much for your time and support

Sick of what Microsoft is doing. I’ve cancelled Game Pass and I’ll keep the Xbox offline for now. I’m on the Steam Deck in the meantime, and I know a lot of people feel the same way. I’ll grab the new Steam machine and the VR headset when they land. Fresh start coming.

I have a pretty decent PC that can run Cyberpunk on 100+ fps but for some reason i can't even get 60 on Terraria. I have no idea what to do but it just works awfully. On Pop os btw

Couldn't find a tool that does something like this, so I made one. Hope it helps others out as well! Github Repo

Hi everyone. I have had a steam deck for a few years now and have loved the experience. I have 4 kids, and the sleep resume feature is basically the only reason I can game at all anymore. With the announcement of the steam machine, I got curious if something similar could be achieved with my old desktop. I followed a guide to dual boot windows and bazzite. After some searching it seemed like a pretty close experience to steamOs.

What I'm looking for is the ability to suspend and resume at will, similar to the steam deck. I just finished installing and booting into bazzite and I'm looking for what my next steps should be. Also fine if I picked the wrong distro for what I want to achieve. Willing to go another direction if needed.

I've also read that gamescope is important for a steamdeck like experience, but I'm not sure what that is, or what I need to do to use it.

Also welcome are any general tips for desktop linux gaming. Thanks in advance!
