Steam Link with Linux Host Computer

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Dezember 2025 - 22:59

So I am having an issue with the use of Steam Link. My host rig running Linux Mint and is connected to my router via Ethernet and I am trying to use Steam Link on a laptop (also Linux) and my phone but it nether one can find the host computer. My desktop (host) is on and Steam is open and games are installed. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. I have searched online to see if I am missing any steps but I already have the settings within Steam to allow remote play. Is there a bug I am unaware of or is there something I am missing. I promise, I would not post a question here if I didn't already troubleshoot and search online.

For more details, I am running Linux Mint 22.2 on my host and Steam is installed via the software center.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

EA and removing Proton support from Battlefield games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Dezember 2025 - 22:22

This is a bit late but a year ago I bought Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 2042 on Steam. I had read the protondb reviews which said that they worked on linux. Great! they were like $3 and $5 on sale. I was halfway through the singleplayer campaign of Battlefield 1 when EA pushed an update which borked linux support, now both games can no longer run. I wasn't even playing multiplayer, it's absurd that they would revoke access to the "offline", singleplayer experience. I couldn't get a refund since it was more than 2 weeks after the purchase. The only reason I'm not that mad is because I bought them for so cheap (imagine if I had paid the full $40 and $60!!)

Older Need for Speed titles?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Dezember 2025 - 21:57

Please note, still new to Linux but have managed to get a few modern-ish games to work (UG2, Carbon, MW) but struggle to get older Win9x titles to work. Either they don't work, or no controller support. Lutris has some community scripts for games like High Stakes and Hout Pursuit, but not having luck getting these working with controller (HP) or working at all (HS).

Anyone have luck getting these fully working?

Really loved these games back in the day and would like to take advantage of modern hardware to make these look great again.

Using Bazzite btw.

TIA

Newbie here, what's the best emulation app/software that you guys use (specifics I'm searching I'll mention them in post), and how do I install them and ROMS?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Dezember 2025 - 21:53

The systems/catalogues I'm looking forward to emulate are: SNES, N64, PS1/PS2, Wii/Wii U, and Switch 1, so I'll read your replies throught the day and see your suggestions, thank you!

P.S: I'm on Linux Mint

Distro Question

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Dezember 2025 - 21:36

So I am a new Linux user who just dropped Windows 11 finally. I picked Linux Mint and have been having a good time with it. The only issue I have run into was issues with my Focusrite but I think I got those squared away.

I run the most stable Mesa using Kisak and everything seems great. However, I see lots of people say that Mint sucks and to move over from a Debian distro to a Fedora based distro like Noboro or Bazzite. I also see a couple people recommend Cachy-OS, but I don’t know if I am ready for Arch Linux. Lol

So the question is, as a noobie in Linux, is mint that bad and should I just move over to a Fedora based distro, or is mint fine?

I appreciate any and all comments/information provided!

Rockstar launcher stuck at "prepping red dead redemption"

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Dezember 2025 - 21:24

I downloaded the launcher through Lutris and it works, i dind't have any login errors or other stuff that i saw some people talking about here. However, when I try to download red dead redemption 2, it keeps "processing" I left it downloading for a few hours and the download really doesn't start. What it can be?

Is there a point switching from an laptop with an RTX 4050 to a laptop with an RX 7600S?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Dezember 2025 - 21:21

I know that on Windows they are quite comparable, but since i'm now using linux 100% of the time, will it be any better to switch to a laptop with an AMD GPU?

UE5 games frequently crash with amdgpu

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Dezember 2025 - 19:52

I hope someone can help here: I've got an 5700XT on Ubuntu 25.10 using the 23.0.0-1ubuntu0.25.10.1 xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu. Games I play on Steam using Proton 9.0-4 (but also have tried Hotfix or Experimental). Vulkaninfo reports:

GPU0:

I'm having the issue that games just crash my system, in particular UE games (e.g., Far Cry Primal or System Shock). Crashes happen predictably after ~3-5 minutes of playing, every time. When I'm lucky it's just the WM that crashes, leaving me with a dmesg similar to this:

Sometimes, it crashes by becoming entirely unresponsive (an audio sample playing in a loop is a common pattern). Usually, however, the whole system just completely reboots.

It's not a PSU or HW issue: On Windows, all the exact games in my Steam library play perfectly fine.

So it has to be amdgpu/mesa/Vulkan/Linux gaming. Is there anything known to anyone that could point me into the right direction? Thanks!
