I’ve been trying to figure out how to play HSR on the steam deck but nothings worked I’ve put off using the honkers launcher as I heard there’s a possibility of getting banned but at this point I may just try it I wanted to ask if anyone has had any issues on this as well as the possibility of getting banned or even if anyone could give some tips that may help me play.

I tried installing the latest version of mint and bazzite but i get error out of memory even when i have 16gb of ram and even when trying to boot even on livecd. So i have these questions,

My specs are: Ryzen 3 2200g, Rx570, 16gb of ram, linux mint 21.3(only version that works)

1. Even if im not on the latest version of a distro will i still get update even after 20 years?
2. Are kernels like windows 11 which requires newer hardware to be installed?

3.Are older machines just install a version then stay at that version always and cannot upgrade to the latest versions?

1. Are newer kernels able to support old machines?

thanks for someone who replies

I typically play Overwatch 2 and Helldivers 2 for my Multiplayer game fix. However I've kind of been missing Apex Legends and Fortnite a bit. Been looking into Arc Raiders recently but also been wondering what other Multiplayer games like those work on Linux. Can be Battle Royal, Extraction Shooter, or just plain team deathmatch/CTF type games as long as they're good/fun. All the better if they're free to play, tho not a necessity.

Ideas?

Not really sure what flair to use for this post, but here it is:

So I am currently on KDE Neon, but I wanted to try out Arch as that's the only "family" of distros I haven't used yet. I have tried Debian/debian-based/ubuntu-based and fedora/fedora-based distros before settling on PopOS for a bit, before finally switching to KDE Neon.

I currently really enjoy KDE Plasma, but I heard a lot of talk about Hyprland, and I wanted to know which would be better for gaming as far as DEs go, if there is a difference at all.

Also, what Windows Managers are you using? Is there any one in particular I should look into or just go with whatever looks best?

I already plan on going with the Wayland compositor. I honestly really prefer it over X11, but I would still like opinions on stuff I havent considered.

Last thing, is there anything I should consider other that the above when making my setup?

Thank you for the recommendations and advice!

I am a Manjaro user on my laptop and on my work laptop, but I was still using Windows 11 on my gamer PC, but the last few weeks I have felt the computer slow, it started up and was already using 6GB, Firefox was slow to load, etc. which made me do an investigation to see if I could use my gamer PC with Linux, what compatibility problems I was going to have with my hardware and after installing and half an hour solving a problem with the sound, I start the first game (valheim) and oh surprise, it is having better performance with at least 30 more fps, it remains at 120 in stable with everything on high when it was something that did not happen before, I am going to continue trying the rest of the games, some heavier ones like Cyberpunk and rdr2 to see how it behaves and I will share the tests with you, it fills me with joy since I have been a Linux user for more than 12 years but I had never seen it as viable for gaming, I just wanted to share this because it fills me with joy

This is gonna sound pretty pathetic, how does one run a game through wine and how does one figure out what proton version to use as I see a ton and have no idea what to pick. I wanna be able to play stellar blade Elden ring code vein etc but they just don’t open or crash.

I'm pretty sick at the moment, so thought I'd get Skyrim up and running. But I've played it so many times, mostly on Switch, and wanted to change up the experience a bit with some mods.

I did the whole thing with pikdums Vortex download, and that was all easy, though a little tedious. After around 200 mods, I was ready to get it up and running. But many of these mods rely on dll mods to work properly. I have about 8 that I've just not been able to force no matter what I do.

I went into compatibility and am using the latest version of Proton for my game, and under launch options I've added some additional code. I'm not sure if my code is incorrect, and I'm hoping someone can offer some guidance. This is what I have in the code, as these are the dlls I have installed. Keep in mind that my Skyrim launcher DOES have a _ at the beginning because that was required to get modlauncher 2 running but it didn't work.

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=cbp.dll,CrashLogger.dll,ImprovedCameraSE.dll,InfinityUI.dll,OBody.dll,OpenAnimationReplacer.dll,OStim.dll=n,b _SkyrimSElauncher.exe

Additional info: all other mods were uploaded to vortex without issue. When I try to run the game in desktop mode it tells me "Couldn't read arguments" and then just stays that way until I close the windows. I have run the post-deploy. The dll mods have been extracted and added to the same folder and the Skyrim launch file.

Thanks so much in advance. I really hope I can get this working 😁

So I'm having some serious issues with some games through Steam and it honestly seems like a coin flip in terms of what games will and won't work. I'm pretty new to Linux so I'm not familiar with a lot of what can be done to fix these so any help would be greatly appreciated. I can play games like Baldur's Gate 3 and Arc Raiders max settings ZERO issues pretty much out of the box. I've maybe had 1 crash with Arc Raiders but it was on the main menu and since then haven't had it at all. No freezes, no stutters. However, games like Elden Ring, Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and a laundry list of others just simply refuse to load up. I've probably went through every mentioned fix in past posts that I could find for these games and nothing seemed to be working. I've gone as far as one by one checking every single version of proton to see if it will do anything. Essentially, if I'm not focused on the window where the game is running I can hear it running with no issue. I know this because on startup Elden Ring will not load. But when I swap windows to pull up the terminal I then start to hear the main menu music and when I swap I'm at the main menu and it's completely frozen. Witcher 3 is even weirder. On a fresh restart I can get myself to the main menu and interact with it with zero issue. But the second I load up a game it freezes and just like Elden Ring if it's not focused it runs with no issue. Every subsequent start up from there if I haven't fully restarted my PC will just refuse to load and it sits on a black screen. Hardware is for sure not the issue here, I have a pretty beefy PC that is capable of running games on Windows maximum settings and like I mentioned previously BG3 and Arc Raiders run flawlessly for the most part. I've gone through like 30 different tutorials to see if there was something that I was missing and it would work but I genuinely cannot understand what would cause certain games to just not load up. Like I said it seems genuinely random. Any help please, I don't want to go back to Windows.

Hey so I just did some upgrades on my computer and made the jump to Linux from Windows. Currently running Bazzite OS. So far so good. I've tested a few games, and i noticed that im getting weird pixely artifacting in Borderlands 4, but not the other games I've tested, they've ran totally fine. I know Borderlands 4 is notoriously unoptimized and maybe its just even more so trying to play it on Linux with an NVIDIA card. Just wondering if others have experienced this? I don't think/really hope its not my GPU shitting the bed, like I said other games have worked without a hitch

Hello, this is a follow-up to my post from several months ago where I noticed CPU spikes in my games.

I took another look at it recently and it's gotten even stranger. Using the Scopebuddy GUI I iterated through a couple different settings. It happens on any game, but I used Doom Eternal's visualize what was going on with my hardware.

If I set a refresh rate and/or specify a framerate limit, my CPU and GPU start using more resources than if I left it unlocked or using VRR. Using VRR does not cap the framerate so I am basically not even using it, and I know I have lots of performance headroom because games will max out their FPS as high as they can.

I disabled scopebuddy and tried opening Doom Eternal and the same behavior happens when I turn v-sync on. Turning v-sync off relaxes the GPU and CPU again. This happens on my ViewSonic XG3220 (4K60) monitor regardless of the cable or video port I use.

'PROTON_LOG=1' hasn't sent anything to my home folder, but I did start Steam and Eternal up via the console. PasteBin

If there is any other I can provide I would be happy to.

now the game have fsr3.1 on linux, we just need to download the game, use proton-ge and add launch command: 'PROTON_ADD_CONFIG=fsr4 %command%' for rdna4 or 'PROTON_ADD_CONFIG=fsr4rdna3 %command%' for rdna3, idk for rdna2(but i think you can use with some hacks too) and dont forget to enable fsr3.1 ingame

im using 'PROTON_ADD_CONFIG=fsr4rdna3,wayland %command%' and game is working fine with fsr4

Trying to play the game on Fedora 43, but it just gives me a black screen with the game music.

I'm running A Dell G15 3050 6GB, 16GB ram, i5 13450hx.

Proton Ge 10-25, all drivers are updated. Steam is updated. Tried using "DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%", nothing happened. Tried changing proton to regular version 9, experimental and hotfix and nothing.

Any other sugestions?

I have just ran some benchmarks after playing some games with OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I currently also have CachyOS installed so I figured I'd benchmark them. The main thing is that it is all within margin of error and during the actual gaming sessions I couldn't tell the difference. Obviously, I know OpenSuse Tumbleweed is not a gaming distro, the quotes should give that away, but I figure I'd put it that way because it does seem to be a well performing distro.

I was rather surprised by the results, so I figured I'd share them.

Hardware:
Ryzen 4 7600X CPU
AMD 9070 GPU 16 GB VRAM
32 GB of RAM

Both CachyOS and OpenSuse Tumbleweed are using the same game installations as they are on a third drive.

Proton:
I am using Proton CachyOS 10.0-20251120 v4 in both distros (installed with Protonup-QT for OpenSuse Tumbleweed).

CachyOS uses the znver 4 repos (given my CPU).
OpenSuse Tumbleweed uses the V3 packages that come installed, but they are not as many as the CachyOS v4 packages that I get from the znver 4 repos.

Kernel:

• CachyOS 6.17.8 (their own custom kernel)
• Tumbleweed 6.17.8 (their generic kernel)

Mesa
Surprisingly CachyOS has slightly older mesa drivers at this point:

• CachyOS 25.2.7
• OpenSuse Tumbleweed 25.3

The settings used in the games are the ones I am happy to game with.

Horizon Zero Dawn

CachyOS

OpenSuse Tumbleweed

Within margin of error, same average FPS, Tumbleweed wins slightly on 1% lows. FSR 4 Quality was used.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

CachyOS

OpenSuse Tumbleweed

CachyOS wins here although not by a huge margin. You can see here that it is a tiny bit less CPU bound than OpenSuse Tumbleweed - which is where you notice those v4 optimizations and the custom kernel.

Cyberpunk 2077

CachyOS

OpenSuse Tumbleweed

OpenSuse wins because an NPC sneezed during the CachyOS benchmark, so that caused a microstutter which then caused Cachy to perform a tiiiiiiny bit worse. I told the NPC I don't care if he becomes blue, he better not sneeze next time.

Black Myth Wukong

CachyOS (FSR 3?)

OpenSuse Tumbleweed FSR 3

OpenSuse Tumbleweed FSR 4

This was a weird one. I don't think I was able to get FSR4 to work on CachyOS for Black Myth Wukong (despite this being their own Proton version). I could tell from the image quality and the ghosting that it just wasn't kicking in. The OpenSuse Tumbleweed benchmarks (the FSR 4 ones at the bottom), seemed to indicate that as well, as FSR 4 does come with a slight performance hit. Visually it looked better and I saw no ghosting.

So I ran the benchmark again in Tumbleweed with FSR 3 (the middle one just under the CachyOS one), and the results were comparable to CachyOS, again within margin of error, with the 5% lows being identical, and a 1 FPS difference in average FPS. That said, the absolute minimum FPS in Tumbleweed was 48 whereas it was 53 in CachyOS.

Closing Thoughts

This surprised me as I had run a couple of benchmarks with Fedora with Horizon Zero Dawn and the average FPS there was 124 (that's all I can remember on top of my head). But fedora doesn't ship any v3 packages, unlike Tumbleweed.

I wonder what the results will be once the CachyOS mesa catches up, although it is something to mention - with both distros being rolling release, I was always under the impression that Tumbleweed was a tad slower than Arch due to its build testing before releasing snapshots. Having said that CachyOS, having its own optimized repos, will also be a tad slower than Arch for some things, although it has been my experience that Cachy often updates their kernel faster than vanilla Arch. Mesa usually appears to be more or less the same version as Arch's.

As new improvements are pushed into the generic kernels I guess the gap can narrow with optimized distros, as optimizations have diminishing returns. My benchmarks are also equalized somewhat by the use of Proton CachyOS, although the CachyOS Kernel was not used for Tumbleweed. I also have custom PBO curves set up in my BIOS for my CPU.

Greetings, fellow Linux users. So I recently switched from Windows 11 to Linux Mint 22.2, driven by desire to escape the clutches of the Demon Lord, Bill Gates. All was running smoothly, until I decided to download the Linux version of Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition from GOG. Game would install but simply wouldn't launch. After multiple failed attempts, and asking for help on the game's sub, I was defeated; I had no choice but to download the Windows version and run it using Heroic Games Launcher. But that's not what I had in mind, otherwise I would never have made the switch to Linux. So my question is this : is there another Linux distro that can run Linux games from the get go? I understand that Baldur's Gate is an old game and there will be issues, but I don't want to go back to using Windows; I just couldn't stand watching the four-eyed fiend sneering at me through the screen. Thank you very much in advance.
