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.

Hello everyone, I am fairly new to gaming on Linux and usually everything works fine but Arc Raiders specifically seems to not be playing nice.

For my specs I have:

• Core i7 12650H
• RTX 3050TI Mobile
• 32 GB of DDR5
• Linux Mint 22.3

In my experience there are multiple issues that I can come across, but the biggest ones are sometimes the game simply freezes before even loading into the menu, freezing in the menu, and freezing a few minutes into the game. When I am actually able to play performance is inconsistent as well. Sometimes DLSS seems to work fine and I get great FPS and other times I get stuck around 40-50 FPS with massive input delay for no reason that I can find and I'm unable to find what triggers the change. I have tried multiple versions of Proton and I am on the latest NVIDIA Driver but I am unable to find a solid fix. If anyone has any pointers I'd appreciate it.

Hey everyone,

While setting up my Arch Linux system for gaming, I got curious about how the standard Steam Runtime compares to Steam Native Runtime in real use, not benchmarks or theory.

I tested four games using Proton-GE via ProtonUp-Qt: Dota 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V Enhanced, and Forza Horizon 5, switching between both runtimes and playing longer sessions instead of quick launches.

What really stood out is that there wasn't one clear 'winner.' The better runtime totally depended on the game. Forza ran smoother on standard, while Dota 2 felt better on native. It was often less about max FPS and more about those annoying micro-stutters or how stable it felt after an hour.

Honestly, the coolest part for me was just seeing Windows games run so well on Linux. I finally got to experience RDR2 at 60+ FPS on my older PC, which I never thought was possible on this hardware.

I documented my setup, Proton configuration, and the quirks I noticed per game here: Detailed breakdown with real gameplay notes.

Curious to hear how this lines up with your experience:

• Have you noticed runtime-specific behavior in certain games?
• Do you stick to one runtime, or switch per title?
• Any edge cases where Native clearly wins or loses?

Would love to compare notes.

Lifelong Windows user here. Had some Linux experience before (Ubuntu Desktop and Server in IT school), so Linux wasn’t completely foreign to me but I never daily-drove it on my main PC.

I switched mainly because Windows 11 + NVIDIA drivers were giving me issues, I was never particularly worried about privacy on Windows either - realistically, sooner or later some corporation will find a way to collect data anyway, that’s just how things are now unfortunately.

I chosed Fedora KDE because:

- I feel comfortable enough to not need a fully beginner-focused distro like Linux Mint

- Cinnamon on Mint looks a bit outdated to me, and I was also worried about slower package updates compared to Fedora

- At the same time, I didn’t feel confident enough to daily-drive Arch

I expected a lot of troubleshooting, but… nothing major broke. NVIDIA issues seem way overblown tbh.

Some games even run better than on Windows. For example, Forza Horizon 5 gets same average FPS but much better 1% lows. I think it's due to Vulkan shader precompilation, on Windows I had heavy stuttering during race intro cutscenes (the rotating car scene), while on Linux everything is perfectly smooth.

I was also worried about FL Studio, but after installing it via Wine it just… works. Basically identical to Windows, and projects load noticeably faster. Only minor issue: screen won’t turn off during idle, usually after using Wine apps (but that’s a minor annoyance)

Overall: everything just works. I expected that sooner or later I’d have to go back to Windows, but at this point I have zero reasons to do so. Gaming works great, daily usage is smooth, and the system just feels good to use.

I'm looking for suggestions for a laptop to replace my rog ally X. Not the xbox one, the one before that. I don't need it to be super high end. At the moment I have my ally x for mobile gaming and a Lenovo - Yoga 7 2-in-1 with the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 as my laptop for school and stuff. I'd like to reduce the amount of things to carry around, however, since I'm disabled and don't drive, so looking for a laptop now to combine gaming and such.

I have a desktop for heavier gaming (upgraded it for Monster Hunter Wilds lol), so I'm just looking for something about the same strength as the handheld. Any suggestions? I don't care if it has a dGPU or not, but an oled screen would be nice. I do photography as a hobby, and have some eye issues, so a non-oled screen isn't a dealbreaker, but, you know, nice bonus.

I primarily use Bazzite for gaming, while my current laptop is on Fedora Kinoite.

Also would like to keep it to less than 1500 if possible. I love sales and refurbished and open-box, so I'm happy to look for open box on higher priced laptops.
