I've grown tired of windows and decided to switch to linux. Tried out Mint for a few days (it's pretty cool but my games barely run on it) and now i'm tdying to install Bazzite. However after the GRUB (2.12) screen it goes black.

I know the monitor isnt the problem because i can see the cursor and if i drag it to tge upper left corner it shows a Desktop 1 and lets me add more.

After some 20ish minutes it shows me a lockscreen but as soon as i touch my mouse or keyboard it vanishes back into a black screen.

Fixes i've seen online and tried before:

• boot without gpu (nvidia)
• boot from usb directly into the motherboard
• boot with only one monitor
• remove as many peripherals as i can (only have mouse keyboard and monitor pluge in)

Specs: Cpu: ryzen 5 4600g Gpu: nvidia gtx 1650 Ram: 32gb ddr4 Motherboard: biostar b550mh 3.0 Storage: ssd and hdd 1tb each (bazzite on a 16gb usb stick)

Any help is greatly appreciated

Anyone here tested the HORI Steering wheel on Linux? If yes, did force feedback work?

Context:

I'm dual booting on a gaming laptop(intel I5 11400 and RTX 3050 TI 4GB) with both windows and Linux mint on my first ssd, on which i had windows before Linux due to me installing Linux last week.

The second drive is a 1tb ssd that is formatted in NTFS, i use it for general stuff(games and some photos, work related files,etc).

The version of Steam is not the flatpak version. And all games that i have installed wok on my machine in windows and have at least a gold status on ProtonDb

Problem

My steam games wont launch. Steam recognizes that the games i have installed from windows, updateds them, but when i launch them, it goes to starting the Vulkan shders(for a eternity) and then stops the games as soon as they launch. Even the ones that i have instaled from the Linux version of Steam wont boot.

I updated drivers, changed proton versions, verified files and even deleted pfx file.

PLS HELP

I consider to give Linux another try for my PC, which I mostly use for gaming, but also for coding, office applications, etc. I'm somewhat familiar with Linux, because I've setup gaming servers which I've mostly managed via SSH.

I understand CachyOS seems to be a good fit for my use case.
I'm concerned about the compatibility of some of my peripherals and would love to hear from people who use the same hardware or can provide a general insight.

- AJAZZ AK680MAX Keyboard
- GameSir G7 SE Controller
- A UGREEN Video Capture Card
- HP OfficeJet 3832, which I only use for quick and dirty scans
- Lexmark MS410dn laser printer
- Canon LiDE 400 Scanner

Afaik none of these products are officially supported on Linux.

Hello everyone,

I am trying to install and make FSR4 run on Linux Mint. I have installed ProtonGE 10.28 with ProtonUP-QT, set ProtonGE globally in Steam and have these launch options enabled with Squad:

PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_FSR4_INDICATOR=1 %command%

Unfortunately, there is no visible indicator that would tell me FSR4 is enabled so I guess something is missing.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

For some time now, I've been developing my free-to-play game, an RPG/strategy simulator about a Dark Lord/Lady trying to conquer/destroy a fantasy world using intrigue, corruption, dark magic, and brutal military force.

I am planning another major update, focusing primarily on the endgame. Players focused on direct conquest will have new ways to find loot—portals to crazy, Lovecraftian worlds, discovering new lands, and a magical slumber to wait for the rebirth of old enemies/the emergence of new ones (and seeing how the world changes in their absence). For players more interested in the less brutal side of world domination, the options for managing the territories of our empire will be expanded. Will you allow orcs to overrun Dark Elf cities? Will schools focus on training engineers for the army and economy, or on brainwashing them into blind obedience? Furthermore, I'm expanding the Dark Lord's interactions with other characters, including available romances. Of course, new content requires testing, and since, as usual, it's highly non-linear and dependent on player decisions (plus random generation), I can't test every combination myself.

That's why I'm seeking the help of testers. All you need to do is play once—one playthrough lasts about 1.5 hours (as I mentioned, the game is highly non-linear and is meant to be played multiple times, each time revealing a different story) and send me a short report (specifically, indicating if you've spotted any obvious bugs).

Hi everyone, I'm having performance issues with two specific games on Debian. I installed CS2 and Assassin's Creed 2, but both feel like they are capped or stuttering around 60 FPS, even though I'm using a 120-180Hz monitor.

CS2 doesn't feel as smooth as it did on Windows 11; it feels sluggish. The same thing is happening with Assassin's Creed 2. I have already properly installed the Nvidia drivers, and other games like Hades run perfectly, just as they did on Windows.

What can I do to fix this? Any advice on configuration or optimization would be appreciated.

It was just a few days ago I was singing the praises of Linux here on reddit because I tried WoW and it was running WAY better on Linux...

Well, now it won't run at all.

I have been launching Bnet launcher using Faugus launcher just fine, then launching WoW through it just fine. Since yesterday night, WoW now just launches to a white or black screen, I hear the music, never get image. When I alt+F4, it shows the game screen (so it is able to present it), then it closes.

Fixes I've found through Google that aren't working:

• forcing the game to run in windowed mode

• forcing the game to run in d3d11 mode

• launching it through Steam or Lutris

Any advice? Yes I have done a complete reinstall...

Hi, I'm in the process of switching my Lenovo Legion Go to Linux (CachyOS), and part of making sure it's viable is getting screens to recognize HDMI signal. I have a dock (not a big brand) which works on Windows but not Linux. TV doesn't react at all to the signal.

So, I'd like to know if there's ideally a software means to get that working, or if there's an adapter or worst case another dock that works.

Thanks in advance!

A truly excellent point and click adventure game The Drifter is now more easily playable thanks to some official translations, and support for fan additions.

Hey guys, I just got Zorin, and I'm impressed I'd like to add Minecraft, both bedrock and Java, as well as Rocket League. So I get that Java is already natively on Minecraft, so what about Bedrock, where do I download it from? Same with Rocket League. Ik so far to use Steam, I then went and made sure Proton is on, I selected Proton 10.0-3. Is this the right move? How do I install these games?

When running Tabletop Simulator with the Linux runtime on Wayland the game freezes when trying to open the file dialogue.

This is an annoying issue and when scanning the web a solution is hard to find. However, after one hour of research I found a way to solve this without switching to Proton and since X11 is dead now on several distros, falling back to X11 is not an option anymore.

Modern problems need modern solutions, however, and the trick is to force the app falling back to XWayland instead.

This can be done with Setting the WAYLAND_DISPLAY variable to empty. Just put

env WAYLAND_DISPLAY= %command%

(note the space between = and %command% ) into launch options and suddenly it works. Hopefully someone finds this useful! I leave it here because else I forget it again lol

Hi , i wanted to ask a question to anyone who is playing Rust on linux , are there any servers with decent people playing? I want to download and play the game but the fact that i will not be able to access 99% of the servers scares me a bit.

One to stick into your list to keep an eye on is Nightwater, an open world exploration game that mixes in crafting and automation in a strange world.
