tried it with multiple proton versions, and everything.

this error message was with GE10-28

I'm in Linux mint in the most recent version, using drivers nvidia 535, I followed both a youtube guide and a post on the community claiming the game works with no problem in proton dw14, but I've been the whole morning trying to make it work and it's still failing, the game already had an update so I'm assuming either it broke the launcher or I'm too stupid.

The problem is always the same, it runs the installer once, setups everything but when it tries to open the game's launcher it simply opens a screen and closes it immediately, then the game stops running. But when I simply open the launcher with "wine Launcher.exe" it works!

So far I tried protons ge-latest, ge-28 and dw-14, plus wine ge-latest and wine ge-26

I used steam, lutris and heroic and all 3 failed, what could be the problem here? I have some logs from heroic but I'm new to reddit so Idk how to send them.

Finally bought my first gaming PC in 10 years and I never let it boot into Windows. I unpacked it, popped in my bootable USB, and installed Kubuntu 25.10 straight away. Spent all last night installing my Steam library so today I'm ready to go.

Specs are Intel 7 Ultra, 32 GB DDR5, Nvidia 5060 Ti, 2 TB NVME SSD

I did switch to the Nvidia 580 open proprietary driver because it gave me better frames with my card than the regular 580 proprietary driver.

I also switched away from Wayland to X11 because Wayland doesn't want me to control my cursor with my controller by default.

Anyway, very excited for the upcoming weekend!

Valve doesn't give us these numbers directly, but we can use Bayes' Theorem to derive the conditional probability of Linux users given English language for December 2025.

• P(linux) = 3.58%
  
• P(english speaker) = 39.22%
• P(english speaker|linux) = 83.11%

Therefore, p(linux|english speaker) = (83.11 * 3.58) / 39.22 = 7.58%.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

As the title suggests, GTA 4 doesn't wanna run by any means. I'm quite new to linux. And I've been asking help to Gemini. But all the roads lead to trial and error with proton versions and so on.

I've tried everything he told. Tried Proton 7, 8, 9, Experimental. I've tried Proton-GE. I've tried FusionFix. I've reinstalled the game, but nothing seems to work!

I don't understand what is going on really. The 1st time I installed the game, it ran perfectly. Now I can't even open it.

Sometimes the launcher doesn't even open, just stays black/white. Sometimes it just says that it "quit unexpectedly".

Yesterday as I was trying to open it. It would open, I'd hear music, and the menu, but no image, just completely dark.

I've ran out of things to do really.

PS: I'm using Fedora on KDE Plasma. if it helps

Thanks!

Whenever I leave the Endfield launcher running and put my PC to sleep, the window is black when it wakes up. If I close and reopen it, I get the error shown in the screenshot. A system restart fixes this, but it kinda frustrating to have to restart everytime.

I'm using fedora 43 with KDE, mobile GTX 1650, properietary nvidia driver and dwproton 10.0-14-x86_64

For some reason Sober crashes when I launch a game with my NVIDIA GPU.
But it doesn't when it uses my integrated GPU.

Linux gaming is actually great. The CachyOS GUI is super cool compared to Windows and I love the features, especially on the performance side. I rarely drop frames on Arc Raiders now, unlike on Windows where I would feel the drops on certain occasions.

The only downside is the Discord and OBS setup. For OBS, I have to use the Flatpak version because the pacman version feels incomplete. It is like using Windows 10 version but I download the Windows 9 version or something. I also have to make sure I am using X11 instead of Wayland. I am constantly having to ask for help just to fix issues, like the "Lucky Day" error on Discord.

I really hope that some of the Windows apps i use back then on Linux eventually becomes less stressful. I love Linux, but there are times I really miss the "plug and play" feel of Windows. Even newer games on Steam need research before you can play them. i.e., StarRupture, I had to search for a fix, add launch options, and hunt for a specific Proton version just to get it to run.

Without the power of AI, I would have probably dropped this OS because of how long it takes to find ways to fix issues. Even though AI can’t answer everything, the pros are still worth the cons now that I am on Linux.

so, steam naming wineprefix based on it's own id game that can be found at steamdb.

But when i add a non-steam game, it will created a randomize id like that, then how i know wheres the wineprefix that im looking for if the name is just randomize id?

For years, League of Legends was perfectly playable on Linux through compatibility layers. That changed with the introduction of Vanguard, which effectively locked Linux users out of the game.
We’ve started a petition asking Riot Games to reconsider their stance and bring League of Legends back to Linux. This isn’t about bypassing anti-cheat it’s about inclusivity, fair access, and acknowledging a rapidly growing player base.

All games run fine on my gaming laptop except for overwatch 2 for some reason , I installed all necessary shaders, used proton-GE etc... it used to run well on windows but on linux the fps drops until the display freezes after 5 mins of gameplay , When I checked the temps the CPU was at 90c, which is likely to be the root cause, any fix? laptop: hp omen 15 2020 gpu: rtx 2060 cpu: i7 9750h ram:16 gb DE:cinnamon

I've only been using Linux for four months and I'm generally not very knowledgeable about PCs. My first distro was Ubuntu, and then I switched to Linux Mint. Until a month ago, I could play CS without any problems, but then the sound started cutting out after the first few rounds. My headset is the output device, so that should be fine. I've also tried using the two PulseWire commands in the launcher, but that didn't help either. I would be very grateful for any suggestions :)

People do not seem to get that the NTFS file system is closed source and the ntfs linux driver is reverse engineered.

You want to mount it for a moment and copy some files? fine

But dont use it to hold your games or for prolonged file usage it WILL lead to file corruption at some point.

Also lastly and most importantly you are wasting the limited time of people that want to help you resolve your problems for free because they will try to provide tech support to for an hour only to find out you are not following the most basic rule.

Please don't use NTFS drives under linux.

So I see a lot of discussions how great it is on a steam deck and how a SteamDeck can replace your desktop computer in certain situations, but how good is SteamOS on a regular machine using the desktop mode (not the Steam Big Picture Mode)? Im really curious about this and hope this great community can help me to understand it even more beyond the videos I already saw.

I use my computer (Ryzen 7 5800X3D, AMD 6900XT) only for gaming, mainly on Steam, BattleNet (for WoW), sometimes GoG for older games, Discord as a communication tool and Firefox for browsing. Thats it. No office, no editing, no capturing, just single- and multiplayer gaming. I also know how to use the command line and have some expierence with computers, so I'm not going in as a total noob (but still a noob though) :)

A couple of questions would be:

• How easy do I update my graphic drivers and is there a view where I can review the current drivers, see new ones... etc? Right now I'm using Adrenaline for that.
• How do I add and install on different drives. Currently my Setup has four drives (one smaller one for the OS, one fast NVME for current games, and two smaller SSD's from my old pc for other games that I also use)
• and do I need to erase those drives with the installed games, or can I just add them somehow after I installed and let Steam decide what ito do with the games (there are only Steam games installed and Battlenet with WoW)

Really hope this does not breake any rules. I did a fair share of research and already tried Mint and Bazzite, but was not fully satisfied with the expierence, so I thought I'm asking about SteamOS before I try this also again.

Thanks in advance!
