shapez 2 is a wonderfully chilled factory building sim that recently had a huge upgrade, and hopefully in November it will be ready for the full release.

I finally pulled the plug and installed Linux Mint, as I am beyond tired of Microsofts bs. I have some minor experience with Linux as i've messed around with it on old laptops, but this is the first time I'm seriously doing it and on my main setup.

I have two internal SSDs. The smaller one I have my OS on, and the bigger one I usually used for games. I have added an ext4 partition to it through gparted, and I have mounted it. It shows up in my file directory. However when I go on steam settings, storage, add drive, and choose the drive, nothing happens. I try to save but the disk isn't added. I have tried googling the issue but I haven't found a way yet. I initially installed steam through the software manager, but I read it might not have all needed permissions then, so I went and installed the deb directly from steams page. I also tried making a steam directory on the drive and directly choose that, but it made no difference.

Anyone know how I can get steam to recognize the disk?

I'm experiencing a weird issue where even simple games take upwards of 45 seconds to actually launch after I click play.

For comparison, Huniepop 2 (simple VN-style game) launches in roughly 3 seconds on Windows 10. On Kubuntu it consistently takes ~38 seconds to launch. I have background shader processing toggled on, and the long launch time is consistent even if I close and relaunch the game. I have "force specific Steam Play compatibility tool" toggled off, but even if I toggle it on and select Proton Hotfix the launch time is unchanged.

If I launch the steam snap from the terminal, I can see that 30 seconds of that time is spent doing this:

Fossilize INFO: Overriding serialization path: "/home/<user>/snap/steam/common/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/shadercache/930210/fozpipelinesv6/steamapprun_pipeline_cache".

Specs:
Kubuntu 25.04 (relatively fresh minimal install, only like 15 additional programs installed)
Ryzen 7 3700 8-core, RTX 4070, 1TB m.2 NVME
'sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade' to confirm everything is up-to-date

I searched the internet and reddit but I haven't been able to come up with a solution. Everything is normal for other programs, it seems to be an issue with steam.

Strange one... the game opens, it shader caches and looks to render the menu scene and everything, but the instant I tab in to the game or click in to the game then I get this error:

https://preview.redd.it/4l4rej6kpgbf1.png?width=774&format=png&auto=webp&s=50f588c93e3e9aeaf8b02d06903a8a16d06a01d7

Don't suppose anyone knows how I could fix it?

EDIT: of course as soon as I post this I find a fix using a different Proton version, the latest Proton-GE build via ProtonUp-Qt

Good morning, New on linux (mint) I installed Dune awakening. The latter is validated on protondb. However the launcher wants to use dx12 and I get an error message like the system cannot use it. I don't know if there is a connection, but my laptop has an NVIDIA 4060 Any idea is welcome. THANKS

I'm using KDE Plasma (with Arch btw) and if I enable HDR, GPU screen recorder will record the screen and everything just fine, but the playback will show a very gray tint to everything, almost like it's washed out.

How can I keep HDR enabled without ruining how clips work?

Is this something that can be fixed via post processing?

EDIT: Bonus points if someone can tell me why my microphone keeps only recording to the left channel.

I've recently run into an issue where my main disk is showing it is full. The disk itself only had 44 gb of data on it that could be located with tools like k4dirstat. After much digging, I finally have located what I believe is the culprit, which is /home/user/.cache/doc being absolutely full of steam files. My OS drive is 250 GiB, but /home/user/.cache/doc is showing as using 644.2 GiB. I do have a separate drive for my steam library, mounted at /games, which is showing the expected amount of storage utilization, which roughly matches the 644.2 figure. Uninstalling a game decreased both /games and /home/user/.cache/doc by roughly the same amount.

I've tried clearing the download cache in steam, but that didn't do anything. Restarting changed nothing, and I've verified the mountpoint for the games drive is correct. I'm currently using the .deb version of steam, when I first noticed this issue I was using the snap version. I'm seeing this with heroic as well, although to a far lesser extent as I only have a few games installed.

I'm assuming this is a snap issue, rather than a steam issue. If anyone has an idea for how to resolve it, without wiping my entire steam and epic libraries, that would be appreciated.

I'm not sure but I suspect because I have Flatseal installed to manage my flatpak permissions that it isn't launching the shortcuts properly.
RPCS3 shortcuts:
"/app/bin/rpcs3" --no-gui "%%RPCS3_GAMEID%%:NPUB30698"

ShadPS4 shortcut:
/app/bin/shadps4 "/mnt/07d808f9-7705-4e65-9bd3-77441ea3c352/Games/ES-DE/Emulators/PS4/CUSA00900/eboot.bin"

Both these games run when launched via their emulators and both are backups of physical media I own and can provide pictures of the physical copies if needed. Anyways when I click the .desktop shortcuts the "Create shortcut" option generates all I get is an error message that says "There was an error launching the application" which doesn't really tell me anything about how to solve the problem, just that there is a problem.

Both my PS3 and PS4 backups are stored on a removable drive but I've given flatpaks access to that drive in Flatseal so I'm drawing a blank why the shortcuts are having issues.

• i7-1165G7
• Iris Xe
• 6.15.3-arch1-1
• SwayWM

(I'm fully aware that the Integrated Graphics here are below the system requirements for FC4, however it has no issues running natively at reduced settings on Windows, FC3 and FC5 both also run acceptably under proton.)

I've tried pretty much every combination of launch options outlined in the game's protondb compatibility page, as well as multiple different versions of both normal and GloriusEggroll releases and the result is always the same:

• Ubisoft Connect window shows up, syncs saves, etc
• Game starts, executable shows up in btop but is perpetually stuck at 100-200mb of ram usage and won't go any higher

Anyone else had similar issues? or if not could maybe point me in the right direction? Sorry if I haven't provided enough info, this is all I could think of that could be relevant.

Trying to get an install of Oblivion Remastered that I set up on an external SSD to actually run. Pressing the play button does absolutely nothing.

Linux Mint Cinnamon, fully updated. Steam's fully updated. Game's fully updated. I've never had this issue on Windows, and my system's SSD doesn't have any room for games left on it, so this was my solution... but it's not working.
