I'm trying to figure out how to install SMAPI on linux mint. I've tried some stuff from the wiki but I just downloaded linux so I have no idea what I'm doing.

So far with fedora-KDE, i face plasma crashing multiple times a day, and plex even, as well as vscode just breaks and unable to play nice with nvidia at all.

Is this more a fedora issue?, plasma issue? Or KDE itself? Or even the current linux kernel that broke stability completely?

only things that do not work are the logo of the dragon and text on the mobo itselfes. also some settings do not seem to work.... but this can be a me issue due giving it incorrect led count. i can at least finaly change from green to purple without the need for a windows dualboot.

i had to remove the open rgb version of fedora and compile it from gitlab (including setting up udev rules) myselfes to let it work

Finaly, as i waited almost 1.5 years for this

I'm on a Debian laptop with a dedicated Nvidia GPU, and integrated Intel Graphics. I'm wanting to play games, but I've only been able to get one game, Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, running with the proper GPU (verified with nvidia-smi) using the following command:

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json %command%

But when I try to run Remnant 2 or EYE Divine Cybermancy, that same command nor variations thereof don't work, and I can't get either of them to use my dedicated GPU (again, confirmed by them not showing up in nvidia-smi). Notably, I've been able to get other applications to run on it (for example, Firefox by adding env __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia, to the beginning of the exec= line), just not games. They both launch, but won't use the right GPU.

For Remnant, this is the best command I've managed to get, since the game won't launch without it at all (I don't know how much of this is doing anything; I was doing this to get it to use the right GPU, and to fix an error where DX12 wasn't being detected):

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_0 %command%

glxinfo | grep OpenGL only shows Intel Mesa, which leads me to believe OpenGL isn't registering my GPU. But if I tell that command to run with __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia added to the beginning, it shows my dedicated GPU.

I don't know if any of this is helpful. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

Ive been gaming on POP! OS for a few years now. There are somethings to work through but overall it seems fine. I am very comfortable with Debian-based distros.

Especially after the Gamer's Nexus video there seems to be an absolute swell of interest in bazzite. Which is great, I love that for them and the linux community at large.

My question is: Is there anything I'm missing in bazzite that isn't in a distro intended for gaming? Seems like there is a new poster child distro every so often in the Linux community (no shade). Is that what this is? Am I missing something? Is there a feature I am missing?

I play on steam using Proton 9.0-4. There are like 8 or 9 instances in this clip where you can see my game sort of stall, then fast forward, like it loses whole chunks of frames, then runs fine, but in the graph above you don't see it drop indicating 144 fps, as if rocket league isn't experiencing the issue, proton is. It also seems like it happens in other games, but it either is worse in Rocket League or maybe I'm just more aware of it, but it does happen in other games.

I've tried disabling steam overlay, changing to Proton experimental (that was worse, it wouldn't even start one time). I'm on Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon 6.4.8, AMD graphics card. Any ideas, or has anybody seen something like this before?

It's also certainly not lag, this training area requires zero network connectivity

Hi,

For some reason, Cyberpunk thinks my monitor's native resolution is 5222x2938, despite my monitor being a standard 4k panel (3840x2160).. When I set the borderless resolution to 3840x2160, it runs in a small window. This is obviously causing it to run rather poorly despite using FSR and a 7800xt. Any ideas?? Fedora 43 for what it's worth.

The rumble on my controller doesn't work, and I have tested it on windows computers and it works fine there so I know it is something with linux.

Hey everyone. I could use some help with an issue I just recently started having on Fedora 41. I have two monitors that are both 1440p but I was running them at 1080p for a while because it was just easier to see things that way. They were further away from me on my old desk setup but now they aren't, so I changed them to 1440p.

Everything looks way better, but as soon as I try to run pretty much any game on Steam that's even a little demanding, my PC crashes and restarts. I'm not sure if it's a driver issue, a Linux issue, or if my GPU or some other piece of hardware just isn't able to handle 1440p. Any suggestions for where to start troubleshooting?

Here's my setup:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X

GPU: Sapphire Pulse RX 6600

Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B650-A

RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16)

PSU: Thermaltake Smart 700W 80+

I bought The Coma 2 in GOG and i'm trying to run the native linux version, but it crashes instantly, trying to run it manually from terminal gives me this error:

./start.sh

Running The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters

./start.sh: línea 16: 55076 Violación de segmento (\core' generado) ./"TheComa2ViciousSisters.x86_64"`

i saw someone who got this "segmentation fault" error in other native games like Hollow Knight, but i can't find a way to fix this, can anyone help me?

It's the first time this happens to me trying to run a native port, i'm using Arch Linux, and i'm trying to run the game trough Heroic Games Launcher.

I was wondering what are the pros and cons of switching to linux from Windows 11? I only game and watch movies, listen to music, etc.

Are there programs i can use that i cant with Windows 11 and programs i can't use with linux? I've obviously never used linux before, just curious what I'm missing out on with Linux.

And in future, if i were to use my pc for work aswell, would linux also be a good option?

Cheers

Edit- PC SPECS

CPU- Ryzen 5 5600 GPU- AMD RX 7600 xt Ram- 32GB (can't exactly remember speeds) OS installed on m.2, games on SSD and rest of storage on 4tb HDD

Hey everyone!

I’ve recently started playing Dota 2 again on Zorin OS 18, and I’ve run into a weird audio issue:
Whenever I join a match, the sound completely cuts out. Sometimes, a new audio output device even appears in PulseAudio with the label “Sound Disabled” (see the video I just attached).

I’ve already tried common fixes like launch options (-audio_pulse and others suggested by AI/community guides), and I’ve double-checked my PulseAudio settings—everything looks fine. The weirdest part? This doesn’t happen with any other game, only Dota 2.

I end up having to manually switch the audio output back every time, which is pretty annoying mid-game.

Has anyone else experienced this on Zorin or other Ubuntu-based distros? Could this be a Dota 2 bug, a PulseAudio quirk, or something specific to my setup?

Any tips or workarounds would be super appreciated!

Hello,

I am planning for a new gaming guide. I started with explaining common launcher options here as far as I gathered from ProtonDB.

The motivation is to have reusable patterns to troubleshoot common linux gaming problems.

I am aware it deserves more effort. Your early feedback would be appreciated, though.

Hey I’m super new trying to make a throw-back computer on a mk5 cf-31 tough book. Already running into problems.

I’m on mint 21.3

I did mount the cd successfully to try and have a better pathway via the command.

But when to hit install it does nothing but code 256.

Any ideas?

I have this little problem where Steam wouldn't recognize my Xbox Elite Series 2 controller.

I use Linux Mint Zara (newest) Cinnamon edition and everything is updated.

• The controller is connected via Bluetooth
• It's trusted (Bluetooth setting)
• Steam input for Xbox-Controller is active (alongside all other controllers)
• I've tried to turn off/on ertm
• I've installed sysfsutils
• and I've restarted my pc and re-paired the controller several times.

Steam doesn't recognize any connected controller. (see top of the Steam page) :/
