Hello! I'm a brand new Linux user who's just transitioned to Linux Mint 22.3 from Windows 10. I am not a very tech savvy person, but I have had zero issues with anything, it was all very easy to set up. The exception has been with playing BG3.

I downloaded Heroic Game Launcher, logged into my GOG account, and downloaded my copy of BG3. It boots up just fine, and is playable, but it is constantly stuttering and juddering. I've tried messing with the visual setting in the game, and it helps a little but not very much. I was running the game on the same laptop in Windows and never had any issues, so I'm assuming it's not a hardware problem.

Heroic automatically downloaded and used GE-Proton 10-32 which is the latest one available.

I only use single player, I have no interest in multiplayer, or playing online. I do not use any mods.

I have the recommended drivers downloaded for my Nvidia graphics card (nvidia-driver-590-open).

My laptop is an Erazer Gaming Notebook Deputy P25, with an AMD Ryzen processor and a GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card. 24GB RAM, plenty of hard drive space.

This is literally the only game I play, I am not a gamer usually so I don't really have any experience optimising stuff for gaming. I have tried googling for help, but most stuff I have found is Windows specific, Steam specific (I use GOG), or assumes a much higher level of tech understanding then I have, and uses language I cannot parse.

If anyone has any suggestions, or can direct me to where I can get help, I would be extremely grateful!

Thanks for taking the time to read this

With California's new age checking law coming into action in January 2027, there's a lot of discussion on how Linux distributions will be handling it.

Good day everyone!

I recently made the decision to dule boot windows and Linux on my PC, and I'm now using bazzite as my main OS, got it all set up and I think it's great! but the only thing I'm really struggling with now is a Corsair icue alternative, I tried openrgb and openlinkhub but it's just not detecting all my peripherals, most of everything for my PC hardware's and peripherals is Corsair including:

keyboard

mouse (no rgb but id like to control dpi and stuff)

mouse pad

headset stand

my ram uses Icue

along with the fans as well

hopefully you guys can shed some light for me! or just let me know I'm shit outta luck so I can stop trying to find alternatives lol

I am here to tell you the story of a few passionate people who are making small changes in the world. If you listen, you may join them and become part of it as well.

Air Child Virtual Airline was established in May 2007 by two individuals who met randomly on a flight simulation forum and were driven by the same motivation: combining their hobby with a purpose reaching beyond the virtual world of simulation. After a few emails and phone calls to the German UNICEF section, the goal became clear: a virtual airline based on a sponsorship system for the benefit of UNICEF. The desire to help children in need became the heart and passion behind all activities of the airline, and there was no doubt about the name: Air Child.

Around six months later, we had more than a dozen pilots regularly testing the airline's infrastructure, conducting countless test flights, providing feedback, and suggesting new features. In September 2008, public beta tests were launched with a registration site. As a result, almost 80 people registered for the tests, with about 50 flying regularly and giving feedback. In June 2009, Air Child finally opened its doors to the public after more than two years of development.

For the past 15 years, our virtual company has seen better and worse days. We've grown slowly but steadily. Currently, the number of registered accounts for pilots is approaching 1,500. However, not everyone from that team is still flying. Some people have left, others are inactive, and COVID also left its mark, as not everyone made it through. Now, those few precious individuals are flying with angels in the heavenly skies.

In early 2023, Air Child Virtual Airline received another big, fresh update. We began considering opening another division for gamers who don’t fly but instead have wheels. Just as pilots have massive online environments like VATSIM and IVAO, there’s another big community—someone even called it #BestCommunityEver. These are virtual truckers in their 18-wheelers traveling the vast network of European and American roads. In late 2023, a virtual trucking company was established and began hiring test drivers. Like the aviation side, drivers are slowly and steadily increasing in number, spreading goodwill on servers and bringing in funds for UNICEF.

I’ve told you about virtual pilots and virtual drivers. But what about the most important part of our community and our main focus here? How do we manage to raise funds for UNICEF through gaming?
We call this part of our mission the Air Child Charity Program.

Although a major purpose of our company is to generate money for UNICEF (as much as possible!), we decided not to charge our members. Instead, we invite everyone—especially companies of any kind—to participate in this charity program. So how does it work? It’s very simple. Sponsoring partners (companies or individuals) pay a certain amount of money for every single flight completed (and reported) by Air Child pilots or for distances driven by our virtual truckers. We call this "a point" - one flight or a specific distance driven (calculated as multiples of 1,000 km). The sponsorship can range from as little as 1 cent to as much as 1 euro per point. It’s entirely up to the donors. We calculate the total, and to ensure no one goes bankrupt supporting us, donors can set a monthly donation limit (although some choose not to, which we gladly accept).

Every three months, we send an email summarizing the total number of operations during the period and the total amount donors need to transfer to UNICEF. Yes, it’s the donors' responsibility to transfer the funds. This way, everyone can be certain that 100% of the money goes to UNICEF and not a single cent stays with us. (Of course, we provide donors with all the necessary information on what to do and how.)

The amount of funds we raise for UNICEF depends on our generous donors and sponsors. We humbly ask anyone who can to join our Charity Program. So far, Air Child has raised about 1,500 euros annually. We hope that number will grow in the future.

Our website is still a work in progress, and we hope it always will be. What you see today is only the foundation of what Air Child may become. Its future is up to you. As long as you continue giving feedback, sharing your wishes, and connecting with fellow pilots, truckers, and staff members, Air Child will grow and remain your airline.

If you’d like to learn more, we invite you to join us on our Discord Server at https://www.discord.gg/Csh9etE or visit our website at https://www.air-child.com.

You can support our cause by spreading the word, becoming a valued sponsor or donor, or simply flying or driving with us.

Now im aware that most of these just dont work on Linux, this is not a noob "Why is Overwatch not working" question. I really dont play many competitive games and the ones i do, work on linux without issue.

I often see the sentiment (be it a joke) that its "good" that these games dont work on Linux but obviously that isnt true for anyone who wants to play them and use linux.

So my question is to those of you out there that play these games. How? Do you Dual Boot Windows or run a VM?

Shapez 2 is a shape-cutting factory-building sim that now has a confirmed full release date of April 23rd, and the launch will come with major upgrades.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

My Working Setup

• GPU: RTX 5070
• Distro: CachyOS
• Kernel: cachyos-lts 6.18.15-3
• Nvidia Driver: 580.119.02
• Proton Version: 10.0-4
• Launch Options:%command% /WineDetectionEnabled:False

I hope this is the right place to post this.

There are known graphical artifact issues with RTX 50xx series cards on Nvidia driver 590 in some games, including Resident Evil Requiem. If you are having problems, this setup worked for me.

I have not experienced any issues with this configuration. Downgrading to Nvidia driver 580.119.02 and using Proton 10.0-4 fixed it after hours of troubleshooting. Other Proton versions caused freezing after downgrading the driver, but 10.0-4 has been stable so far.

CachyOS Note

If you are using CachyOS, you may need to switch to the LTS kernel. I could not get the downgraded driver working on the non-LTS kernel. It might be possible, but once this worked I stopped testing.

How to Force Proton 10.0-4

In Steam:

Right-click the game → Properties → Compatibility →
Enable Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool →
Select Proton 10.0-4

If you do not see Proton 10.0-4, you may need to install it using ProtonUp-Qt.

How I Downgraded the Driver

Run these commands one at a time. This method applies to Arch-based systems like CachyOS. If you are using a different distribution, the package names and downgrade method will be different.

Step 1 – Install the downgrade utility sudo pacman -S downgrade

Installs the tool that allows rolling back packages.

Step 2 – Downgrade the Nvidia packages sudo downgrade nvidia-open-dkms nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils opencl-nvidia lib32-opencl-nvidia

Select 580.119.02 for each package when prompted.

Make sure all Nvidia package versions match exactly. If they do not match, the driver module may fail to load.

Step 3 – Rebuild kernel modules sudo mkinitcpio -P

This rebuilds the initramfs so the downgraded driver loads properly.

Step 4 – Reboot

After reboot:

• Select the cachyos-lts kernel from your boot menu
• Verify the driver is loaded:

​

nvidia-smi

It should report driver version 580.119.02.

Disclaimer

I am not an expert with Linux. I started using it in October 2025 after getting tired of Windows, so I am still learning. If anything here is incorrect or could be improved, feel free to point it out and I will update it. This is simply what worked for me, and I hope it saves someone else some time.

It appears that Valve are reviving the older Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, as it has once again appeared on Steam as a standalone download.

One big issue with Linux / SteamOS gaming is a lack of anti-cheat support, and it seems Electronic Arts (EA) have future plans for supporting the platform.

Steam can tell when I plug it or unplug it via USB, but in test input mode no inputs are found. (not in game either obviously).

Things I've tried:

Change batteries

Connect to windows system: works via usb or bluetooth

Connect to Xbox app on windows and check for firmware upgrade: none found

Try via Controller app in KDE through SDL: can see controller but no inputs seen when moving controller.

Connect via bluetooth. Controller found but pairing fails.

So its not the controller, not the firmware, not the USB cable. Any ideas.

As far as I can tell its a genuine Xbox One controller model 1708, Bazzite latest version if that matters.

I've been a loyal AMD user on Linux for a long time, but lately, I'm starting to doubt if "AMD is the top choice for Linux" still holds true. I’m currently running an RDNA2 card on Kernel 6.18.13, and the VRAM clock speeds are all over the place. Sometimes it gets stuck at the minimum (0.192GHz), and other times it refuses to ramp up unless I restart my session. It feels like the power management (DPM) is broken. I was planning to upgrade to the upcoming RX 9000 series, but seeing so many reports of similar driver/firmware issues is making me hesitate. It’s frustrating because we always choose AMD for the open-source drivers and "it just works" experience. My questions for the community: Is anyone else on RDNA2/3/4 experiencing these erratic VRAM clocks on recent kernels? Is this something that's likely to be fixed in upcoming kernel cycles, or is it a fundamental issue with how the drivers handle Wayland/Idle states? Honestly... should I consider switching to Nvidia? With their recent move toward open-source kernel modules and better Wayland support, is the gap closing? I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially if you've found a permanent fix that doesn't involve forcing max clocks 24/7. And I have seen GPU time out issues as well specially with RDNA4 cards

Currently i'l using the dualshock 4 which works good enough when playing with a cable but Bluetooth is absolutely horrible. Also I've had this controller since 2020 so ot it started dying a litle. It did get stick drift at a moment but i fixed it so i didn't need to change it, but now the buttons sometimes don't register the inputs and since i switched to linux a lot of games don't recognise the full mapping of the controller which is a real pain in the ass (i mostly play through steam). Does the dualsense have the same problems or is it good to buy it ? To be clear, i want to know if the Bluetooth works well without disconnections and delay and if the key mapping of the controller is recognised by most games when played through steam

I started playing Silent Hill f and it has been running flawlessly until I arrived at the Sakuko-like entity boss. When I start the boss fight, as soon as the boss does their first attack, the game freezes and ends up crashing with a UE5 error. I read through the protondb posts and can't find anything similar. Does anyone versed with troubleshooting this stuff have any suggestions?

I have tried lowering some settings and switching off off TSR to other option as well as adding -dx12 to launch options which were a couple crash fixes I had found, to no avail.

I'm running Bazzite with a 5070ti and a 12900k.

Thanks to box64, this awesome could be played on PowerPC64 computers. There are overheads that would impact the performance of the game but to me it is better than nothing. Let's hope the team would open to porting the game engine to PPC64LE architecture.

Hello, I've recently determined myself to switch from Windows 10 to Linux Mint. I have watched this video as a guide ( https://youtu.be/IyT4wfz5ZMg?si=i6PSaXVHJOCf0D6q ). One difference I am worried about however is that I also plan at the same time to switch out my HDD with a new SSD that I got awhile ago (Still in box infact). Is there anything in particular I should know about switching my drives?

What I assume the case would be is I just set up my flash drive with the Linux installation, then switch out my drives, and then proceed as normal by opening up my BIOS and installing Linux from there. Is that correct or would there be more to it?

(BTW, I don't care about copying my files from my HDD to my SSD, there's nothing important that I can't very easily redownload afaik.)
