SteamOS on desktop but the right way?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Dezember 2025 - 14:26

So basically the tldr for this is I want a steam cube but my PC is 10x more powerful than it. I want SteamOS but properly.

I'm looking for help with getting SteamOS on to my desktop the right way so I don't have issues. I tried the cachyos handheld route but all the handheld specific stuff is screwing me over espically the Jupiter package.

I've been told now that putting handheld on a desktop was dumb to begin with because there's a lot more baked into it that makes the cooling system and other stuff unreliable thanks to being a desktop.

I've tried chatgpt as well but a good portion of its instructions are either non-existant or just putting the handheld stuff that is messing it up to begin with back in contradicting itself.

I want to keep it to arch as that's the only distro I haven't had issues with cachyos specifically preferred.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this goal with full functionality and not giving up fan control?

Hey wanted to know if any work has been done on the as rock bc-250 and dedicated streaming

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Dezember 2025 - 13:40

Hello

I've been looking into options for a secondary pc for streaming. I currently run a dual-PC setup and am trying to downsize for a move. I saw some magic there that can be applied to get it to encode, and I wanted to know if anyone has tried it and how it went.

Is there a for modding Fallout New Vegas on Linux with Limo Mod Manager?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Dezember 2025 - 13:35

It was great to discover Limo when doing my switch from Windows to Linux seeing that you can use it to mod Skyrim and though by logic that the rest of Bethesda titles would follow. I got nothing but trouble with New Vegas. no matter what I do I cant get NVSE working as the Wiki shows or even other mods. and that's another problem, all what I can find for Limo is always Skyrim and nothing else.

So I'm here to ask is there a way of running Fallout New Vegas mods properly with Limo or a much clear point of reference to follow?

Buy Anno 117 on Steam or Ubisoft?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Dezember 2025 - 13:03

Hey y'all!

Very general, hypothetical question, since I'm not even using Linux yet (project for next year).

I was thinking about buying Anno 117, and since I already have a few other Anno games on my damn Ubisoft account, I was just gonna stick to that and buy the new one there as well (even tho I use Steam for everything else really).

Now I'm considering switching to Linux, and from what I hear the general advice seems to be "buy games on Steam, usually makes running them less of a hassle". Buuut as far as I can tell, even if you buy Anno 117 through Steam, the game still forces you to run the Ubisoft launcher?

So my question is, does buying the game on Steam even make a difference in the case of this game? 🤔

Thanks for any input!

Mod Organiser 2 and Pandora on Linux (Skyrim SE/AE)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Dezember 2025 - 11:58

Hey all, I could do with a hand and to know some best practices for Running Skyrim SE with Mod Organiser 2 on Linux while running Pandora Behaviour Engine.

Im using Fedora and have Skyrim SE/AE installed normally through steam using Proton. I found a super cool tutorial over on youtube that allowed me to get Mod Organiser 2 running through proton and launch-able through steam itself but encountered a problem: Most mods that have animations require you to run either FNIS, Nemesis or Pandora (Pandora so far is the best one) which I of course cannot do because the .NET libraries that are required for this exe are not present in my Skyrim instal.

So my question is: Has anyone been able to get Pandora working in MO2 for Skyrim SE on Linux and if so, what is the best way to do this? Did you instal steam through bottles and import the .net framework into the bottle this way? Is the only way to create a windows VM (id rather not do this)?

Please keep in mind that Im a bit of a linux newbie so a solid play-by-play of any solutions would be appreciated. This is one of the final teething problems I have had switching over from Win11, so if I can get this resolved id feel pretty good about removing my Windows Partition for good.

Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to search for 'untested' games on ProtonDB?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Dezember 2025 - 11:53

Pretty much, I have a bunch of free time to play games and I might as well use some of it to make ProtonDB reports, but specifically for untested games as the majority of the games I have are native or run well with plenty of reports

Should I set PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 globally?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Dezember 2025 - 11:29

Has anyone else done this? Does it break anything? I've been setting it on a per game basis up until now using the steam launch arguments but I gather it can be set globally with environment variables. I can envision me maybe trying to launch a game and it not working and totally forgetting I set that environment variable and it being the cause. Or is that a non issue and im worried about nothing?

Will new steam hardware mean better steam wayland support?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Dezember 2025 - 08:12

Bit of a speculation post, but considering the recent push with forking waydroid, I think it's worth bringing up that at the moment valve's steam client features are mostly non-functional on native wayland games or a Wayland session. Currently, the main missing features/bugs in steam seem to be:

  • Native wayland or wine wayland games don't run with steam overlay OR steam input
  • Wayland windows in gamescope crash frequently or otherwise don't work properly
  • Steam virtual keyboard doesn't work in a wayland desktop session
  • Native steam client runs in xwayland exclusively

Considering that x11 session for KDE Plasma EOL is coming around soon (x11 is starting to get more unreliable with app support), do you think valve will continue supporting an out of date plasma version even on a more desktop-focused system like steam machine, or will we see a big wayland push for steam in the next couple months?

Steam stuck in validating/downloading/patching loop

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Dezember 2025 - 08:00

Hi All

Looking for some help with an issue with Steam on Linux.

I moved over to CachyOS (from Windows 11) about 1 month ago and I've been enjoying it for the most part. Yesterday, I decided to fire up Helldivers 2 (which has been working fine with Proton on Steam prior to this issue) and noticed that there was a 15.4GB patch. Figured it would take 15/20 minutes to complete so I just left it. Came back to it about 30 minutes later and found that instead of downloading and patching, it was now validating files. Once the validation completed, it proceeded to attempt to re-download the 15.4GB patch again. I thought maybe there were corrupted game files or something so I just let it do it's thing but this continued on for over an hour (download, patch, validate, repeat).

Did a bunch of Googling and found a few threads listing the same issue advising that I'd need to go to the content_log.txt file (in the Steam folder), delete a bunch of corrupted game files (listed in said .txt file) and then restart the update. I did this but the update/patch/validate loop just kept occurring.

I have subsequently tried repairing the library, deleting all corrupted and downloaded files and rebooting but nothing has helped. I'm tempted to just format this drive and reinstall Cachy (as there are a bunch of packages and configs that I feel I could do without) but I'd rather be able to at least play games again (in this instance) instead of going through the trouble of a full reinstall.

Any ideas/assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Kingdom Hearts I + II will not play in Fullscreen, esc key not working

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Dezember 2025 - 07:24

I'm not super experienced with Linux so I'm going to list random specs if by chance they may help aid the problem:

  • Os: Arch Linux
  • Kernel: Latest Zen Kernel available for arch
  • gpu drivers: non-open nvidia
  • DE: Plasma (with Wayland)
  • Proton: GE-Proton10-25

Hardware: * CPU: Amd Ryzen 5 3700x * GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050

The problem: When then game starts up, the escape key works on the initial game select menu, but when I select a game to play, the escape key no longer works. The game seems to load these games as separate programs. I'm also having issues running the game in Fullscreen, as the plasma bar still appears.
