So I'm currently using MX Linux xfce and wanted to install steam, but the app doesn't log into my account. I even installed steam needed libraries, disconnected and reconnected the wifi, it does not log in. How to fix?

Hi, everyone.

I am a brand new Linux user of just about a week now. I've gotten mostly everything running, and installed my Nvidia drivers just fine. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to download and install cursors like I can on Windows; the process on Windows is stupidly easy and I'm at a complete loss for what to do here.

For reference, I am running Fedora 43 with KDE Plasma. My GPU is an RTX 3080 (I'm not sure if that matters xP)

My ideal cursor pack would be the default Windows 7 cursors. I like them, they're plain and boring and perfect, and I don't want to use any other cursor pack. However, I cannot find an actual cursor pack in system settings, and the ones I download on the web just don't work. As an example, I've download a cursor pack called "ModernXP cursors". I try to "install from file" and nothing pops up - when I point it to the "ModernXP2" directory, it just does not accept the cursors as valid cursors. The files are extracted and the file structure seems to be the same as the other cursor packs that come with fedora, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I'm also a little bit confused about why the system settings don't have an actual installable Windows cursor pack from the "get new" page? Above I've attatched an image of a "Win10OS" cursor theme pack; but I'm curious as to why there's a SHIT ton of cursor packs that clearly *want* to be Windows cursors... but aren't? Why not just make the actual thing?

I'm absolutely certain the solution is dead simple and as a newbie and a dumbass, I'm missing it right in front of me. But I'm not going to give up on Linux. I desperately want to move away from Windows... I just love my cursors too much, lol.

If any of you know how exactly to do this, please write it out for me, step my step, dead simple as possible. Thank you :3

So I'm trying to get CS2 to run (even though I know frames won't be amazing) for my girlfriends brother to play with me and my friends but the game won't launch natively and only on proton (which of course breaks VAC) I've tried a few things but can't get it to run natively despite seeing lots of people say it works well.... Any suggestions? I've done the usual updating software and drivers as well as deleting CFG and verifying and tried reinstalling but to no avail.

Im fairly new to Linux and this is the only issue I'm having for now.

Specs:

Zorin (latest version I assume?)

I7 8650u

8GB DDR4 (2X4)

Intel UHD 620

Thanks all!!

on linux (cachyos) with mediatek mt7922 i'm getting some bursts of net jitter on cs2 (and ONLY cs2, this doesnt happen elsewhere) like the image attached. they happen in 6-8 second bursts and occur every 20 ish seconds. i'm using steam linux runtime i've tried turning off powersave, switched to iwd, disabling aspm, but none of it works. i dont have access to wired internet, so i'm kinda stuck here.

Hey everyone, good evening. First time posting here, nice to meet you all.

For the past few months I’ve been really tempted to switch to Linux, so I finally decided to take the first step. I started with Bazzite since I read it was a safe option to avoid “breaking everything,” but I ended up running into a lot of issues related to my GPU (RTX 5060) that I couldn’t solve.

Now I’m thinking about going a bit further and trying CachyOS.

Is it worth switching from Windows if you have an NVIDIA 5000 series GPU? I don’t know much yet, but I’m planning to dive deeper into this world.

Thanks a lot to anyone who takes the time to read

Guys, there is some way to play GTA V online with friends? I checked areweanticheatyet and the game is unsupported, but so it is Ghost Recon Wildlands but there's a solution at least to play private matches

Death Stranding 2 keeps crashing out of the blue; there’s no specific part where it happens – it just crashes. The audio carries on for a moment but then stops. (I’m at the start of the game, about to make my first delivery.) The FPS has been fluctuating between 40 and 60.

I’ve tried the experimental Proton on Steam, Proton GE and Proton Cache because I saw that they improved CPU usage

I’m on the latest version of the game.

My specs are: CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X, GPU: Arc B580, 32 GB RAM, kernel 6.17 on Linux Mint.

The settings are on High; I’ve disabled reflections and set depth of field to Medium; upscaling is via Xess with native anti-aliasing.

CachyOS. Inxi output - https://pastebin.com/Bc6Mygus

Tried both with Proton Experimental and proton-cachyos-10.0-20260320 (steam linux runtime)

I have en_us and lt_lt layouts for my keyboard, but the result is completely identical no matter which layout I use

Dishonored 1 (launched straight from Steam) - https://streamable.com/rysp93

Fallout 4 (installed and initially launched through Steam, but now setup to run through SteamTinkerLaunch's handled Vortex Mod Manager) - https://streamable.com/m6e139

In both videos, you can see me going through all the number keys on top of the keyboard (i.e. not numberpad). 1-7 works okay. 0 and - also works okay. Meanwhile, both 8 and 9 are instead registering as = (can see that on Fallout video), and = itself also isn't working as expected. However, if I am not in a game, and try to use these keys in any different program (including writing here), then the whole bar is perfectly normal, even if I run the game but alt tab out of it.

1234567890-= / ąčęėįšųū„“-ž

I also found out my F1-12 keys are also misbehaving inside of games.

Anyone has any idea what issue am I having and how to solve it?

With the new Gray Zone Warfare update I figured it was a good time to test out Linux compatibility and see where things stand. Here's what I found.

System:

• OS: Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS (kernel 6.18.7)
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080
• Driver: NVIDIA 580.126.18
• RAM: 32 GiB

Session 1 — Stock Proton (Default)
Zero configuration, just hit play. Got through the main menu, character creation, joined a live server, and completed the tutorial without a single issue. Auto graphics detected Epic settings across the board and ran at a consistent 60–85 FPS with no stutters, no shader hitching, nothing. Genuinely impressive for a silver rated title.

Session 2 — The Wheels Come Off
Came back later and immediately started getting hit with "Easy Anti-Cheat Action - The Client failed an anti-cheat client runtime check" on every server join. Tested the following trying to resolve it:

• Proton Experimental — same EAC error
• Proton 9.0-4 — EAC actually ran its installer this time, got further, but still booted within seconds of joining
• Verified game file integrity
• Added PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 %command% launch option for a mouse capture issue, helped slightly but didn't fix it, and EAC still kicked

Bottom Line:
Session 1 was genuinely gold-tier performance with zero effort. Session 2 was unplayable due to EAC. No idea what changed between sessions, no system updates, no game updates that I noticed. This inconsistency is probably exactly why it sits at silver (ProtonDB rating). If you're on Nvidia and it works, it really works. But don't count on it being reliable.

Worth noting, reports suggest AMD users have a harder time than Nvidia even on good days, so keep that in mind.

ProtonDB Rating: Silver feels right. Could be gold one day, could be a brick the next.

Hello, hoping that someone will be able to help me here. I'm trying to get emulation to work on Lutris, but not having any luck. I've installed the Libretro runner and downloaded a SNES core for it. I've got the Chrono Trigger ROM set up, but when I try to run it, it says "no core has been selected for this game." I go into the game configuration and try to select a core under 'game options' but nothing happens when I click the core drop down menu.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Or if I should be using something else entirely?

TIA

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to find a relatively modern Linux distribution that still works with the legacy NVIDIA 340xx drivers.

i've tried a bunch of distro (Debian 13, MX Linux, Arch) and neither worked with my gpu

Anyone else experiencing lower FPS with newest update of the game? I'm on fedora 44 with Nvidia 595 drivers on a rtx 3080 and Ryzen 5800x, proton experimental bleeding edge, yesterday I had stable 55fps on high/ultra settings rtx on dlss 4.0 quality and today it struggles to hit 50 and averages below 45, 10 FPS is a pretty big hit, as I am also using optiscaler to have frame gen on I am wondering if anyone else is having similar issue.

But it works flawlessly when running xorg/xwayland wine.

I was wondering why...

I have been able to play the game flawlessly for days. I had some strange issues in WoW earlier today related to the camera movements (installed through non-Steam game) and I took help from Claude to try some stuff in-game and through launch options but now Hunt is acting up too with insane camera movement speed and I have no clue from what or how. My cursor behaves completely normal otherwise. I cannot think of any changes made to the system or hardware. I have spent two hours trying all kinds of fixes but to no avail. I have tried looking into config files, deleted the game's compatdata and tried all amnners of launch options. I don't know what might have happened

I can now play Indiana Jones with medium textures and shadows, hair on low and the rest on ULTRA, 1080p and i can only play in Gaming Mode.
The VRAM management or availability seems better on this mode.
Anyway, these settings are nearly identical to the ones I used on Windows to complete the game.
The only difference is that on windows I used DLSS-AA and here I have to use DLSS-Quality.
But it's getting there.

GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070 8GB.

I have a pretty beastly PC running Nobara 43 KDE (Fedora) with an RTX 5070 Ti.

I want to set up some VMs for my kids to use for gaming (streaming Steam games) on their not-great computers until I can get them a proper PC.

I installed and set up VirtualBox before realizing that it cannot utilize my GPU very well.

Are there any virtualization programs that can effectively split my GPU for gaming? Is this even possible?

They don't run anything crazy, just stuff like Among Us, Terraria, House Flipper...etc. Nothing AAA, but I want to give them some extra juice just in case they want to try some things later.
