I recently switched to Linux from Windows and I have been primarily playing Arc Raiders which ran great at first for a week or so. Ever since yesterday anytime I try to launch Arc via Steam the application doesn't open.

I get a terminal pop up for Easy Anti-Cheat which closes after 15 seconds and the Arc Raiders loading window as seen in the screenshot. After about one minute, that window closes and nothing happens.

I am very new to Linux and was wondering if anyone had suggestions. I have rebooted and applied any updates available.

Playing on Linux Mint

For a couple days now ARC Raiders doesn't shut down at all when closing the game, the game's process gets the "Zombie" status and can't even be killed with gnome, same for Steam, it's like these both apps are keeping each other form shutting down, I have to power down my PC every time now because it won't even let the system close.

I tried reinstalling the game, uninstalling the anti-cheat then running the game, changing the game's priority, but nothing. If anyone has ideas please share them because I'm annoyed beyond measure at this point.

Hello,

I'm having a lot of trouble attempting a universal DLSS override with scopebuddy enabled on user_settings.py.

I'm very new to all of this so I'm definitely doing something wrong, I just don't know what. I have tested the dlss override using the steam launch commands and it does work but I don't want to do it for every game I want to apply it to. Is this the correct way?

Hello guys,

Have anyone faced an issue of desktop objects of games ignoring all Steam configured preferences?

Here are two examples:

• Wartales

I configured it in steam with LD_PRELOAD="" %command% launch option, helps to avoid fps drop. I also specify "OpenGL" running option.

When I run from Steam it looks like running smooth and no fps drops. However, running from desktop object semm to execute game ignoring all the configured options, so fps drops after ~40mins of playing.

• Warhammer Vermintide 2

Same with LD_PRELOAD="" %command%, for same reason. Here I also downloaded beta version - "temporary_launcher_workaround" and choose a "Bypass Launcher DX12" launch option.

Running from Desktop leads to some microsoft software installation (failing in the end) and running some sort of launcher. However, executing from Steam just starts the game without any issues, installations and launchers.

I've tried adding LD_PRELOAD="" in desktop object in "command" and "arguments", but not sure if it had any impact. Also this thing does not sound like version management.

I've also tried to make changes in .desktop files but the only thing I was able to add is LD_PRELOAD="" before game in command line. It also does not sound like game version configuration.

I'm totally sure that this info does not matter here, but here is my spec:

• Operating System: Bazzite 43
• KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.2
• KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0
• Qt Version: 6.10.0
• Kernel Version: 6.17.7-ba14.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit)
• Graphics Platform: Wayland
• Processors: 20 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700H
• Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.4 GiB usable)
• Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU
• Manufacturer: LENOVO
• Product Name: 82RB
• System Version: Legion 5 15IAH7H

Would appreciate any help.

Hello Linux gamers!

Happy to announce that my platformer Ayasa: Shadows of Silence launches on November 28. The game now works on Linux and Steam Deck via Proton.

If you’re interested, check out the Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/3146120?utm_source=reddit

Is it comparable to windows, worse, or better? I know they're not the best for gaming but for simple indie games and older games, how do these perform? I have the intel UHD 620.

Just looking for some anecdotes, thanks!

Hello everybody!

Quick context: I have two computers — a personal one (Windows) and a work one (macOS Sequoia). Lately I've felt that Windows is getting worse, so I finally got tired of it and decided to switch to Linux.

I’ve been reading a bit and even asked ChatGPT (sorry) for distro recommendations. I use my personal PC mainly for gaming, watching series/movies, browsing, and occasionally working from home (I’m a data engineer). ChatGPT recommended Nobara, but I’ve also seen many people saying it’s not the best option for gaming. That’s where I started getting confused.

What I’m looking for:

- A distro that lets me play games without headaches.

- Something I can customize to look similar to macOS (not for the Apple hype, but because I really love the Sequoia aesthetics).

- Reasonable compatibility with apps like ObsidianMD, KeeperSecurity, NearDrop, Steam etc. Not sure how well they work on Linux.

- Opinions on whether I should use an antivirus on Linux, especially since I game and download stuff.

Basically: is it realistic to have “the best of both worlds”? Meaning a macOS-like look + solid gaming performance.

Any advice or experience is super helpful. I’m pretty lost but eager to learn.

Thanks for reading!

Does it work well, is there trouble with boot or fans or hibernate/sleep mode ? Battery life maybe ? Even though its not great even on Windows.

All of my games are on the original Windows 10 SSD. This SSD is in the only Gen4 NVME slot on my mobo so I would prefer to add that drive to my Bazzite Steam Library. Is this possible?

Or is there a way to access the games on the Win10 SSD and move the files over to the Bazzite?

Hello,

Let me start with a quote by Aaron Griffin which is close to my personal philosophy:

If you try to hide the complexity of the system, you'll end up with a more complex system. Layers of abstraction that serve to hide internals are never a good thing. Instead, the internals should be designed in a way such that they need no hiding.

The most detailed gaming guide I found is Kwindu but its level of detail was unsatisfying for me.

I am planning for a new gaming setup guide but using lower-level system tools. I created a small snippet HERE and I'd appreciate your feedback before proceeding.

Edit. The motivation is to educate a Linux Gamer to debug his machine and configure it like a power user.

In the market for a new powerful laptop ready for the holiday season? Perhaps give a look to the new KDE Slimbook VII.
