XIIZEAL is a small game. I cannot get it to run. It launches and crash. Messages on protondb are mixed : some people can run it?

ProtonDB | Game Details for XIIZEAL https://share.google/E4fZb6Nvbc0KLDwNc

I tried different proton versions (9,10,experimental) and Proton GE latest.

Not working.

I don't understand why some folks say it works for them.

If it's not supported, where/how to ask for technical support on the proton project?

Thank you for your help.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to fully move away from Windows and I’m looking for a Linux distro recommendation for a specific use case.

For context, I already have a setup that works well for development:

• Mac → my main machine for development and some design work
• Kubuntu → used for heavier development tasks when I need a Linux environment

So development is already covered.

What I’m looking for now is a separate Linux installation dedicated mainly to:

• Gaming (Steam / Proton)
• Video editing
• Image editing
• Streaming
• General multimedia work

Basically I want a system optimized for gaming + content creation, so I can completely stop using Windows.

Hardware-wise I’m using:

• RTX 3050
• DDR4 system
• Standard gaming desktop

I’m mainly interested in a distro that:

• Works well with NVIDIA GPUs
• Has good Proton / Steam compatibility
• Runs software like DaVinci Resolve, OBS, Blender, etc.
• Requires minimal maintenance
• Is stable for daily gaming and streaming

Right now I’m considering options like:

• Bazzite
• Nobara
• Pop!_OS
• Fedora

But I’d like to hear from people who actually use Linux for gaming + streaming + video editing.

Which distro would you recommend for this use case?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Linux based gaming and I just have a small question and I'm asking if this is possible to be fixed

So basically, when I load into any l4d2 map, everything will be pitch black besides my character's arms, teammate names, outlines of weapons and items, and the hud.

Is there any way to fix this? I've tried -vulkan in launch options and that just causes the game to crash when launching it.

I'm using bazzite if that is a reason why this is happening? I'm sorry if it isn't and I'm just throwing accusations to it.

Thanks in advance! ^^

Hey guys, how are you?

I'm looking for help here. As you can see, the game's FPS fluctuates a lot, but it doesn't reach the 140 limit I have set in the game.

But I'm not limited by CPU or GPU usage, nor by temperature.

And although it achieves good FPS, the game doesn't feel smooth, but rather choppy and laggy.

This happens in several games.

I'm on Arch, with KDE Plasma. GPU: 9060 XT 16GB CPU: Ryzen 5 5500 RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200mhz

Latest mesa-git driver.

Any ideas what might be happening?

i really want to get my hands on a controller with gyro cappabilities, but being unsure about weather or not they will work on my machine is like torture.

I have searched about this, but didn't really encounter any up to date information.

Hey everyone!

I've been setting up my Beelink mini PC running Fedora as a living-room console, and I finally got the full experience working: trun on controller → PC wakes from suspend → TV switches to the right HDMI input → Steam Big Picture launches automatically. When you exit Big Picture, everything reverts on its own.

The full setup involves:

• Configuring the Intel AX200's Bluetooth to allow kernel wakeup via udev
• A udev rule that detects the controller connecting and drops a trigger file
• A lightweight systemd watcher service that picks up the trigger and launches everything
• A main script that handles Wake-on-LAN to the TV, HDMI input switching via SSIP, display output switching and Steam Big Picture

I wrote a complete step-by-step guide with all the scripts and service files, published on GitLab:

https://gitlab.com/GMB8281/marinov-game-system

Tested on Fedora 43 + Beelink SER5 + Xbox Wireless Controller + Sony TV. Most of it should work on any systemd-based distro with minor adjustments.

Happy to answer questions!

I built a Mini-ITX PC that I use like a handheld/console setup connected to my TV. Right now it’s running Windows 11 with AtlasOS, but I’m looking for something lighter and more console-like with lower background resource usage.

I’m wondering if SteamOS (or a SteamOS-like distro) could realistically work as my main gaming OS.

I mostly play single-player games and some Ubisoft titles like Ghost Recon and The Division. I don’t play competitive shooters like COD, Valorant, Battlefield, etc., so anti-cheat limitations are not really a concern.

My setup:

• Ryzen 7 5700X • RTX 4070 Ti Super

Has anyone here been running a setup like this?

Can you recommend a distro that works well and is stable with NVIDIA GPUs?

Also, have you managed to fully replace Windows with SteamOS/Bazzite for gaming without needing to boot back into Windows for something?

Just for context: this PC is exclusively for gaming. I have a separate main PC and a MacBook for work, so this machine doesn’t need to run productivity software.

Any experiences or recommendations would be really appreciated.

Hey all,

Recently wanted to try out watch dogs because of its mechanics. Bought both the first and second game on steam hoping I could play with no issue, but, I was forced to either create an account with ubisoft, or outright quit the game with no other alternative.

Searched around on ebay and found the cd-rom version of the games for cheap. Only requirements of the game was to be on a Windows system, which I have no issue in alternating if its the only way of playing, but, I'd ideally like to remain on my Bazzite distro. I've searched around for any guides on this game specifically on this format to little avail. The two alternatives I've found in order to make the game work is either with Lutris, which is already installed in my distro, or using this guide.

I'm still completely new to Linux so I have no idea which to follow first, so any help or guide in getting this to work is greatly appreciated!

Please help me if you can guys. I've installed bazzite on my laptop and I have an Nvidia gpu. Maybe it's the drivers but I tried every possible solution and I still have a flickering screen each time I try to play a AAA game on Steam.

I would really apreciate your help!! 🙏

Trying to configure hdr on KDE and I know that plasma 6.6.1 removed one of the calibration screens only leaving the screens for peak nit brightness and “Configure how bright 100% on the normal brightness slider should be.”

The first one is simply just my monitors peak brightness of 650. The second screen has me a bit tripped up as I’ve seen conflicting information for what it should be. Should it be:

1: Peak 100% brightness window in SDR (rtings value of 196 nits)

2: Peak 100% brightness window in HDR (rtings value of 136 nits)

3: the recommended paper white for a 650 peak nits monitor (138 nits in my case)

figured this would be useful for others in case an answer is provided which is why I included my own numbers even if they are close) thanks!

Two days ago I was able to play Diablo 4 for hours. Now every ten minutes my system shows me a lock screen. I've spent the past day trying to find an answer. So far all I've learned:

1. Some swear by GAMEMODED - Never needed it before, now suddenly perhaps I do. What changed? (Spoiler alert - it's not working.)

2, There is a discussion over whether GAMEMODE is even needed anymore.

1. Some swear by Caffiene. I installed it and activated it. It did nothing.

2. Apparently this is happening because I am using a controller, which doesn't count as activity. Two days ago, it worked, and so far the workarounds I've found are not working.

Linux Mint 22.3, home built AMD system. Everything was working up to 2 days ago. I haven't changed anything. (This is a game system, I intentionally don't change anything unless I have to. Upgrading breaks stuff.)

After beating Expedition 33, I got curious regarding how much performance I was losing out on if I played it on windows. Overall, not much, I saw ~10% loss in average FPS, 1% and 0.1% lows. This was over the first ~30 minutes of gameplay. I tried my best to make linux and windows gameplay as identical as possible for the side-by-side comparison.

Hardware: RTX 5080, 9800x3D, 32GB System RAM.
CachyOS kernel 6.19.8-1

NVIDIA 595.45.04 officially pushed by cachyos developers.

Windows Nvidia 595.79 drivers

Interestingly, I saw ~800MB VRAM usage on linux not present on windows, which I assume is from the DX12 -> Vulkan translation?

I am attaching my screenshots summarizing the findings. I overclocked and undervolted with MSI afterburner on windows and used the nvidia-ml-py python package on CachyOS (both are screenshotted for more information).

Also GPU usage is very similar between linux and windows which is a great step in the direction for NVIDIA gpus on linux

If people are interested, here is my video for more visual information.
