I found a bunch of old Xbox 360 disks at my dad’s house, but don’t have an Xbox anymore. Can an emulator on Linux run the disks from a blu ray drive or something like that?

Hi,

I have a Steam Deck and I love it. And what I love the most about it is the sleep mode.

I am a dad with 2 young kids, a wife, a full time job and a house to maintain. So, being able to put my deck in sleep mode at any moment and just resume at the exact same point is the main way I have able to play games in the last years.

But the thing is I also have a nice desktop pc for 1440p gaming on AAA games and I also love it, and I want to take more advantage of it.

So the question is : Is there a way to bring the best (IMHO) Steam Deck feature to my PC?

I actually run Bazzite (never ever going back to Windows, nope, never) and it's actually great (for me at least), but I am willing to switch to any distro that would actually permit it.

Thanks for your help!

I recently heard of a game launcher called Lutris, and was curious if anyone who has used it could tell me if it is safe to use. Thank you all in advance.

After hitting a peak of 5%, the percentage of computers using Linux appears to have decreased to 4.5%, a 0.81% drop from the previous month. Windows 11 also saw a surge of 0.89% in usage.

This may indicate that a significant percentage of users who jumped to Linux after the end of Windows 10 support decided to migrate to Windows 11 rather than continue on Linux. Furthermore, we had a surge of users on Windows 10, which may show that another percentage of these users decided to revert to 10.

The next few months will tell if Linux can maintain this market share it carved for itself or even increase it,

Hey guys. So I've been trying to play Pragmata. It works perfectly fine on my steam deck, but on my Fedora 43 desktop it doesn't. Initially it would crash if I changed too many graphics settings, so I did it one by one until I had them all where I wanted. Now, when I hit continue, it finishes loading, I hear audio, but the screen is just black. Nvidia drivers are updated and I've tried a handful of different Proton releases with no luck

As of May 2026, the FACEIT Anti-Cheat has updated its TPM attestation requirements. If you are dual-booting Linux (CachyOS, Arch, etc.) using Limine or custom Secure Boot keys, you will likely see a "TPM Attestation Failed" error when trying to play on Windows.

https://github.com/CachyOS/proton-cachyos/releases/tag/cachyos-11.0-20260428-slr

• Proton (SLR and Native)
  • Updated to the most recent Proton Experimental release 11.0-20260428
  • First of all, I would like to thank u/Etaash-mathamsetty of Proton-EM and u/NelloKudo of DWProton for their immense contribution to the project in general and for helping with the rebase on top of Proton 11 in particular.
  • The PROTON_USE_NTSYNC environment variable and related configuration has been removed. This is the default now even in Valve's Proton 11, nevertheless ntsync can still be disabled by using PROTON_NO_NTSYNC provided by Proton 11.
  • Imported winewayland.drv updates from Proton-EM 11. One important difference is that Proton-CachyOS doesn't enable HDR by default, you still need PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 for it. The automatic enablement depends on Nvidia 595 drivers, and I didn't want to enforce that requirement.
  • Proton 11 is using SteamRT4, which is missing a few of the libraries that were present in SteamRT3. This led us to disable a few media plugins in gstreamer and ffmpeg. If you notice lacking media in games when using Proton-CachyOS 11 compared to Proton-CachyOS 10, we would like to know.
  • Almost all of the wine-staging patches from Proton-CachyOS 10 have been removed. Only a handful have been added for things that we were certain they were required them. We want to keep them at a minimum and add them selectively if they are required to fix an issue.
  • The DualSense patches have been removed, pending a rebase onto Proton 11. If they are still needed, they will be added back in a later version.
  • Removed the Asseto Corsa patch, as the game's HUD seems to work fine using CSP 0.3 and I did not like what the patch was doing to fix the issue. We also fixed an issue with PROTON_GST_VIDEO_ORIENTATION messing up audio playback.
  • The x86_64_v4 package has been removed. I felt like it wasn't offering anything substantial presently and I needed to free up jobs in the workflows for other builds. You can use either the x86_64_v3 or x86_64 instead.
• Proton (SLR specific)
  • None
• Proton (Native specific)
  • The native Arch package is going to be pure wow64 from now on. Arch has been removing lib32-* packages lately and I don't want to deal with build failures or having to use the too many dependencies from the AUR. Using the Steam Linux Runtime (-slr) package has been our recommendation for a long time now, for maximum compatibility.
• Wine (Standalone)
  • None

Hi! I am a Linux noob using Mint 22.2 for the first time, and I am having trouble with every .exe games I download.

I can start them throught their respective desktop shortcuts, but for some reason I can't start them throught the .exe files??? They just won't do anything.

Subsequently, whenever I try run those games to steam to get the optimization benefits people told me about, pressing start just does not do anything either. I have zero clue of what is happening, or of what I can do to fix it TwT I am really frustated since one of the games keeps crashing in random moments when I take the L and just play it without steam

Sorry if this is a confusing or informationless explanation

Hi everyone,

I have a Dell Lattittude 5590 with i7-8650U 16GB of memory and Nvidia MX 130 with 2GB of dedicated memory and I noticed that KDE performance for gaming is far superior than Gnome.

I tested GTAV using Steam on Debian 13 on both Gnome and KDE, on Gnome I can play just if I lower graphic settings, on KDE it just works, I think it has something to do with wayland implementation, maybe it is supperior on KDE than on Gnome.

I also tested on lates Ubuntu 26.04 Gnome and even enabled NTSYNC to no avail.

Does anyone have any tip on how I can match Gnome to KDE performance since I prefer Gnome?

Kind regards,

Carlos

I don't know if it's the right flair, but okay.

I'm just curious. Despite the massive fps drop when emulating Ray Tracing on amd gpu, is there any real graphical difference when compared to Ray tracing itself?

I don't have a RT capable GPU, and I was wondering if you lose too much quality with it

P.S : sorry for my bad English, it's not my first language :p

This is the Sonic Racing Crossworlds I obtained for the free weekend. It doesn't wanna start, which I find strange because on ProtonDB it says that it can run it just fine.

I tried a lot of commands to get it working, all also from the ProtonDB website.
mangohud %command%

PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 game-performance %command%

gamemoderun %command% -d3d11

None of these worked. Did the others have any luck? Is there some dependancies I need to install? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Specs:

Ryzen 5 3600x

GTX 1650

Kernel Version 6.8

Driver version 580

Nach Jahren mit schwebenden Fenstern auf dem Desktop in Xfce, KDE Plasma, Cinnamon und Gnome sind Linux-Desktops mit Tiling-Windows, also gekachelten Fenstern, für mich noch…

Der Beitrag Tiling vs. Floating: Lohnt sich ein Tiling-Windowmanager? erschien zuerst auf Rund um Linux.

I switched to cachyos directly without thinking much for gaming, i was using windows 11 earlier and had used linux mint/xfce lil bit. Now I'm satisfied with os switch and normal use case but in a werid position for gaming( especially steam). Le me explain- i use my clg lan and they blocked steam and many other things (deep packet inspection) so vpn,Cloudflare etc anything won't work.(nor on windows or any os) . The only things working on windows was vpn named (Hotspot sheild) it's free and really good but there is no way i can use it on cachyos . Now options i have is use ,vg2ray or simila other alter . which need fast vps (i just need to download game only ) hence money 💰. And as a complete broke i can't afford. If anyone know what else i can do except vps method or have solution for vps then I'd appreciate your help.

Btw i don't regret my os switch , 100x better , on windows my laptop fans just always used to explode for no reason and now getting way better performance and latency.

And why is brave using so much Ram comparison to other like vivadi and firefox?

Rolling back to Windows- never
