Hello everyone,

I've been using Linux Mint for a few years now, and recently I've had some time to play games again. I've noticed the following problem when playing FF XIV and WoW.

I can't use some keybinds. For one thing, “^” and “Shift+^.”

Since the last Linux Mint update (22.3), the keybind for “Shift+3” no longer works either. It used to work before.

WoW runs on my computer via the faugus launcher. I also tested it with "Use Wayland driver (experimental), as I had read something about that.

I also tried changing the keyboard layout from German to English, without success.

Otherwise, I have the default Proton “GE-Proton Latest (default)” setting.

Maybe someone can help me with this, I'd be grateful.

Hey there!

I'm currently torn between these two options since they both cost almost the same around $550 in my country. I have to clarify I'm talking about used RTX 4070S price, but I don't care about warranty much (have some experience in gpu maintenance) and there's a lot of used but still under warranty options available

Some of context and my thoughts: I'm gaming on a 1440p monitor, so I'm looking for a solid QHD experience. I don't care much about DLSS 4. Sure it's better compared to FSR 4 but I think FSR 4 is pretty neat as well I'm aware about as called DX12 tax when using nvidia but afaik nvidia acknowledged about this issue and working on a fix. Also, AMD having a similar issue with ray tracing enabled, but as I know Mesa developers making progress on fixing it as well. But anyway at this moment the problem is present. I actually care about RT, maybe not necessarily path tracing ultra, but basic RT options would be nice. I guess nvidia still will beat 9060xt in RT and especially in PT, but I've heard Mesa 26 is bringing massive RT improvements on RDNA 4. Also, I must say 9060xt has much more VRAM (16gb compared to 12gb), but it has much lower bus bandwidth (128 bit compared to 192 bit) and nvidia has GDDR6X, so I'm worried about heavy VRAM consumption scenarios like RT or even PT.

In conclusion: So is "native" AMD feel and plug-and-play experience on Linux worth it or rtx 4070s is favorable one for me even though the VKD3D overhead? Would love to hear from anyone running RDNA 4 or nvidia 40-s series. Thanks in advance!

I've been using windows my whole life and I want to switch to linux but I'm just thinking of reasons why I should. Sure, Privacy and adds and all that stuff but I've managed to fix that with an autounattended.xml file and this software called Winhance. The only plus I can think of is customizability and performance, but I still want to switch but im just not sure its worth it. cause of compatibility with a few games I like. (Valorant and seige) Any advice?

Hi, I need a distro for gaming and compatibility with 32-bit games with kde or gnome desktop enviroment and mangohud or vkbasalt can work on the distro, I tried distros like : (Cachyos - Endeauvor Os - Nobara - Pika Os - Fedora), and these distros are great but for me no because most of my games is 32-bit and gta iv cannot work on them, trying to change proton version and try some environment variable or launch option, right now I use pop os and gta iv worked! But I got problems with graphics issues, anyway I need great gaming distro have compatibility with 32-bit games and the desktop environment can be kde or gnome and thanks!

I am using Lutris on Linux Mint (22.2 Zara) to play World of Warcraft and after the prepatch now I get this error message whenever I launch the game.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any easy fixes? I am not so tech savvy so I don't know how to fix this without spending huge amount of hours on this. And of course asking AI will most likely brick my pc when it starts hallucinating stuff and I follow it's bs instructions like a dummy, so I refrain from doing that.

I'm on Mint Cinnamon and used a repack from our pretty girl that works out. On Lutris with ProtonGE. I had these issues: 1. 80sec loading time 2. Freezing/crashing shortly after it launches - at language selection 3. Launching with black stripes on the sides = protonGE 9-21 fixed it - AI said it's because newer proton uses DXVK v2 and it messes up something.

• I've been told 14 and 16 run fine.
• I have all redistributables installed - Lutris handles some and pretty girl that works out also ships them with the game.

what more info can I provide?

Tried wine, proton, nothing works, both shows error. It used to work (with prime-run wine /home/username/application folder) before I upgrade wine. Only bottles works, but I can't use my NVidia GPU, although CachyOS load it on startup. Skyrim crash when I use dedicated GPU. I have to use lowest setting on integrated GPU Intel Iris XE.

I'm trying to play SM2 on cachyOS but I always get either of these errors and can only play in offline mode.

if I try to connect to play with a VPN active, i get the N-10 error. if I try to play with the VPN off, I get the "Mods Detected" error despite no mods ever being installed.

I've tried all different Proton versions to no avail, deleted the Mods and Local folders in ...\client_pc\root folder, did a complete reinstall of the game, changed dns to cloudflare but still get these errors.

has anyone else had this issue as well or what other foxes can I attempt?

using the native Linux version on Kubuntu 25.10 on the main screen pops

FATAL ERROR: vulkan encounter unrecoverable error VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST.

been trying to fix with deepseek since yesterday to no avail. with -dx11 shows the same error.
I was able to launch through Proton 9 but the performance was awful. vkcube and glxgears run correctly

my /home is mounted on a separate btrfs partition (same disk) if that matters.

Hey,

Basically this. When I play modded Cities Skylines I on steam on my fedora workstation, after a certain amount of assets installed, the kernel kills the game. Thing is that I have 32GB of ram and a very decent CPU. Has this happened to you before? I increased the swap file and tried so that the system would use less ram, but alas.

Perhaps I should buy more ram?
