YOU'RE WELCOME.

I just had to help family from across the country get into their BIOS to turn on virtualisation for legit reasons... couldn't get in without this. Worked instantly on their, and even my own computer.

But what really blows me away is how low-key this knowledge is.

I started using it today, and it's probably the easiest distro to use for gaming.

I just recently installed Undertale, and it hurts to use the arrow keys. I would love to switch to WASD keybinds.

Judging from the discord server, your best bet is to patch the game on a Windows PC / VM, pass the patched files to your Linux pc and launch the game with the side 7 launcher.

Problem is, no one has gotten the side 7 launcher working with Proton yet, at least on the server. Did anyone here got it running?

Hello, I am trying to run Dark Souls Remastered thorough steam & proton. But after running a while, suddenly the video stops rendering. The game continues in the background after a short pause, I can even hear the sounds in the game when I attack or move. But the video stops working and doesn't work anymore. Sometimes this happens after playing 10-20 minutes but sometimes it happens after 1-2 minute. This went to the peak when fighting Taurus demon(the 2nd boss in the game). There hasn't been a single time the video hasn't crashed.

Please can anyone help me regarding this?

P.S I am running it using proton experimental and proton 9.0(Beta). I have tried earlier proton versions but they can't even start the program

ever since 2 or 3 weeks ago, i have had nonstop problems with the game hard crashing and forcing the computer to reboot back to the login screen. i've been using linux for about 3 months now and had 0 problems with the game until about 2 or 3 weeks ago, particulary the middle of march in 2024. i have tried everything i can think of and i'll put an extensive list below of what i have tried with little to no success so far along with my system specs:

• AMD Ryzen™ 7 3700X × 16 Processor
• AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 XT GPU
• 32 GB DDR4 RAM
• 1 TB SSD(this is where the game and system are currently installed)
• 2 2 TB Hard Drives
• Ubuntu 23.10 Mantic Minotaur Distribution
• 64 Bit OS Type
• Gnome Version 45.2
• Wayland Windowing System
• Kernel 6.8.7 generic

​

Below is a list of things i have tried:

• Uninstalled and did a clean install of the game at least 5 times across my different drives
• Updated the drivers
• Installed and updated the MESA PPA drivers
• purged the MESA PPA completly and did a clean install
• updated the kernel from 6.8.5 generic to 6.8.7 generic
• updated the ubuntu version from 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish to 23.10 Mantic Minotaur
• installed CoreCtrl and set GPU settings to High Performance
• updated the Power_DPM_performance settings systemd file from auto to High
• tinkered with the gdm_password system file to change the line "auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so" to "auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so only_if=gdm"
• verified the game files
• changed launch settings to use proton experimental, then proton ge 9.2, then set launch options to force the use of --d3d11, then back to experimental
• set graphical settings to low
• checked PSU settings to make sure it wasn't a power supply issue

previously i had a radeon rx 580 graphics card and while it could only play at low settings, it never crashed once. it wasn't until i installed the 5700 XT i got online that these problems started happening coincidentally. i don't mind switching back to the 580 for the time being if i absolutely have to, but i at least want to make sure i could fix this while using the 5700 XT since democracy calls for better graphics :D

there is more that i did but i am forgetting at the moment. if anyone has any idea what i should do next to stop the game from hard crashing constantly or at the very least tell me that you are experiencing similar problems just to validate to myself that i am not the only one experiencing this crap, then please let me know. i want to play this game again and play it with my brother without constant crashing. thank you for your time in advance!

Specs; CPU 3600x GPU 7600xt

Over the past couple of months I've tried running first Bazzite, which was a great experience until an update introduced brutal dualsense controller instability that locks the controller and prevented games from exiting cleanly or the controllers from reconnecting until a system restart.

A month ago I switched over to Nobara, it ran super well right away and a few small issues bazzite had (mangohud not picking up my GPU stats) and some other minor things.

Then last night an update introduced dualsense instability that locks up the controller and prevents the games from exiting cleanly.

I already lost my 55 hour dark souls playthrough to this. I'm 55 hours into elden ring and I just want a distro that won't freeze up my controller lock up my game and corrupt my save file because an update is a bit too bleeding edge.

I've been considering holoIso but I don't have telegram to access their support so I've been on the fence. I am open to other suggestions though, I just want a safe reliable SteamOS interface system to run on my HTPC.

Thanks fellow linux gaming enthusiasts!@

I need gamescope to stretch custom resolution to 1920x1080 in cs2, which worked in arch for both x11 and wayland. In Debian using gamescope and pressing cs2 launch button, it instantly closes, so basically doesn't launch.

Yesterday i wanted to play guitar hero 5 and saw that Xenia emulator is windows only and there is no linux port. So here i go abiut getting it working.

​

I downloaded the newest windows port then added it to lutris as a windows game with ge-proton 25 (thats what i had installed, newer versions will possibly work too)

Then started it and opened gh5 iso file with it. Works fine :)

I just wanted to draw attention to this website, It is a fake scam site. Do not get Proton GE from here.

GE him self states on their Github that it is a scam

https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/blob/master/README.md

This was posted a month ago but I dont think it got much attention

https://new.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1bkhgwp/heads_up_fake_website/

If you are looking for an easy way to install Proton GE then use

https://github.com/DavidoTek/ProtonUp-Qt

or

Read the Redme I linked above.

I just installed Slackware 15 and correctly turned it into a multilib system by following the instructions on the wiki (No errors when installing it). When I run steam it just segfaults with no real error message, except for this output.
