hey i struggle alot with using Windows as Daily Driver and recently moving everything from Windows to Linux which worked great so far but my main concern is playing the shitty L game which is now just 100% more convenient on Windows especially with the current Vanguard controversy. I read alot online about fixing this from dual system with kvm switch. Or macos vm with gpu passthrough running League. Dual Booting or Dual Booting with Windows which also doubles as A VM under Linux. Alot of funny stuff. Which one would work and doesnt break?

I have my Laptop with Windows right next to me and my pc with arch is there any low input latency remote client software capable of minimal latency? Idk if its a plausible solution to this problem

It can crash your desktop. This bug has existed since the initial beta and Valve couldn't have bothered to fix it. Great job Valve.

At least they didn't steal a game from people's libraries and replace it with an inferior version they have no plans on fixing this time.

Introduction

I've been using Linux for the last seven years. Gaming was barely a thing but Valve started pushing Linux gaming and now it's somehow usable, but nowhere close to Windows standards.

I keep seeing people claiming that Linux gaming is just as good as Windows gaming or even better! A youtuber even attacked me for saying how my experience was not that good at all. I am genuinely confused at this point. I've looked at Linux vs Windows game benchmarks and wow! Some times even better? Some times a bit worse or equal. Some other times games wouldn't start at all according to them, especially with ray tracing, or the enhanced edition of Metro Exodus.

Now, what confuses me is how can they get those high FPS while i get little on most AAA games? For instance, i played Monster Hunter World on Windows for 2200 hours on the same PC, so i am well versed with its performance. I tried today on Linux again but- it's so choppy!! It's unplayable! Same exact graphical settings!

Other heavy games i tried:

Metro 2033: Pretty good.
Subnautica: I get maybe half the FPS than Win.
Outer Wilds: Terrible...
Spyro and Crash: Good.
Dark Souls 3: Doesn't get higher than 40 FPS and it's very unstable ( i think mostly high input delay ).
Sekiro: Similar to Dark Souls 3 but not as bad. Still had to play on Win.
Tekken 7: Another unplayable game on Linux for me.
Dark Souls Remastered: Best Proton experience i had. Even felt better than Win.

Honorable mentions:

OneShot: Didn't even try on Win cos of Win specific "interactions".
Assetto Corsa: Didn't try, cos it seems finicky and complex to install mods.
Far: Lone Sails and Far: Changing Tides: These are small indies with simple graphics, yet are blegh on Linux, especially the second one that was unplayable.
Blasphemous: Was running good but got soft locked due to a Proton specific bug, and could't use skins.
Any other indie was fine.

Putting stuff together

As you can see, my experience is far from good. In fact, the only high graphical games i can play on Linux are... Dark Souls Remastered???? Which is really not heavy! Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light ( tried for a bit ) as the heaviest, and they are native. Shadow Warrior is also native and is decent. Seems like only native games work good among the heaviest but tbf it's just Metro, i don't really have any other heavy game that is Linux native. Crash and Spyro are Proton and still run fine but they are really not that demanding. So i am having issues with Proton. I updated it, i even tried the glorious eggroll several times. I update Mesa with ernstp "MesaRC" which is updated to this day ( also having to install drivers from a random stranger's repo is not the best feeling ). I use CoreCtrl to set the CPU and GPU to performance. The only other clue is Vulkan giving an error. If i go into the system information, under Vulkan i see at the top WARNING: [Loader Message] Code 0 : terminator_CreateInstance: Failed to CreateInstance in ICD 2. Skipping ICD. Not sure what it means. But Vulkan games seem to run.

Been having these performances since always, on different distros, Arch included. Tried different Mesa repos. It just seems like the problem is not on my side, but then i see good performance from other people on YT and it made me wondering. Are they cherry picking cos of bias?! I don't wanna assume that, especially as they show games that don't run at all. But Linux fans can get... pushy at times so it wouldn't surprise me. Or maybe the samey performances compared to Win with powerful graphics cards somehow don't translate into same performance as Win with discrete to low graphics cards?!?! As i have a honourable RX 560.

Specs

Linux 6.5.0-27-generic 64 bit, Kubuntu 23.10 X11, libgl1-mesa-dri: 23.2.1-1ubuntu3.1 Ryzen 5 3600; RX 560 4GB; 16GB RAM

Hello, the new 64-bit TF2 Update that just released doesn't work on my machine,
I tried restarting steam, verifying the game files & rebooting my computer
I also forced Steam linux runtime and that didn't work.

When i click Play it instantly just stops after processing vulkan shaders, this is what it says:

FATAL: It appears tf was not launched within the Steam for Linux sniper runtime environment.
FATAL: Please consult documentation to ensure correct configuration, aborting.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I've noticed an interesting behavior regarding keyboard layouts in games on Steam and am curious about the underlying mechanisms.

I use a French keyboard layout, which works perfectly when playing Just Cause However, in Oh Deer, the game does not recognize this layout and instead defaults to the US layout. My temporary solution has been to manually switch to the US layout using setxkbmap us.

What intrigues me is why the keyboard layout setting configured in my desktop environment (Gnome 45) does not influence the game. Considering that Gnome uses XKB settings for keyboard layouts, I'm looking to understand:

• Why might a game like Oh Deer not recognize my desktop's keyboard layout settings?
• How do games typically interact with system-wide keyboard layout settings?

I'm not necessarily looking for a fix but rather insights into how these interactions are typically handled by games and desktop environments. Any technical explanations or resources on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Seems I can’t add games in folder format, the emulator doesn’t find anything bootable, pkgs do work, sorry if this not the appropriate place to post, but maybe someone has the same problem.

I'm trying to run Fallout76 on Pop!_OS 22.04 using GE-Proton9-4 and average about 20 FPS on a pretty decent system. I need help figuring this out please.

System: OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS x86_64 CPU: 12 Gen Intel i9-12900K 5.1 GHz Memory: 96GB 6400 MHz GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Path to config files:

/mnt/Games/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/1151340/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/Fallout 76

What I've done so far:

I've modified the Fallout76.ini, Fallout76Custom.ini, and Fallout76Prefs.ini file as suggested in the following sites:

• https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Fallout_76#Vertical_sync_.28Vsync.29
• https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout76/mods/464

Here are the full settings for each file:

• Fallout76.ini
• Fallout76Custom.ini
• Fallout76Prefs.ini

I've also tried most of the suggestions on ProtonDB for launch options with no success. I would love to run this game at 165 FPS or anything above 60. I appreciate any feedback and suggestions from other players who successfully play this on a Linux system.

Hey all! Very new to linux so apologies if this sounds stupid.

I have a dual boot system with windows and linux on separate drives, with a third drive (labeled “Storage”) which stores my steam games. However, steam absolutely will not recognize that drive, no matter what i do.

Details: - Running Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon 5.8.4 - Storage drive is formatted in exFat - Storage drive is set to mount at startup at the point /media/hutch2much/Storage - Storage drive does not contain at “compatdata” file under steamapps - xdg-desktop-portal, xdg-desktop-portal-gtk, and xdg-desktop-portal-xapp are all installed; no other xdg-desktop packages are

does anybody know what i should do? i’ve been banging my head against this wall for a while now @_@

Because I can't use my little finger well, I usually put the Run key on a special key on my mouse. So that I can switch racing on and off. Expressly not with a permanently pressed button, but as a switch.

actually sounded easy. But it doesn't seem to be the case. The onboard memory of my Logitech mouse doesn't seem to store the toggle function. With Piper I can change the key assignments, but there doesn't seem to be a Toogle function.

I wrote a script with xbindkeys that also works on the desktop level, but not in the game. Maybe blocked by easyanticheat...

I don't know Now I'm actually willing to do anything except invest more time. I would also buy a new mouse. But unfortunately it's hard to find out which mouse has real onboard memory on which you can also use "more complex" macros.

Anyone an idea?

I've recently tried to play Fallout 76 and Fallout 4 on Fedora. I've played a lot of helldivers 2 but never had this issue:

In fallout 76 there is windowed/fullscreen settings. When playing fullscreen the cursor will come off of the right side of the screen onto my other monitor in gameplay. The cursor isn't locked onto the screen while the game is active. It is the weirdest thing. And I've verified it is 100% on fullscreen mode and I have restarted.

In Fallout 4, in windowed mode, the cursor just doesn't care there is a game window running. The cursor very easily just goes off of the game window in all directions. It is a terrible experience.

Am I missing something there? Normally mouse cursors are locked in a game window until you Windows key or alt out of them to the desktop. This is the oddest thing and I want to fix it so I can play these games.

This all started when Roblox first removed support for wine, Most things were smooth sailing up until then. Roblox then added back wine support for a short duration of time but then removed it later down the road.
This is not that bad most people who game on Linux probably aren't playing Roblox anyways. Now everything seems good, But now Plants vs zombies Garden warfare 2 added a kernel anticheat which makes Wine no longer supported. I mean thats the only 2 games I can thing of off the top of my head but if you want to you could add some in the comments that you want to play on linux.

Is it normal for nobara with the nvidia drivers version to not have the powermizer and the monitor settings in the nvidia x settings app? Is it because of Wayland? If so, does anyone know any other ways to increase digital vibrance?
