I searched the internet and reddit but I haven't been able to come up with a solution. Everything is normal for other programs, it seems to be an issue with steam.

Strange one... the game opens, it shader caches and looks to render the menu scene and everything, but the instant I tab in to the game or click in to the game then I get this error:

Don't suppose anyone knows how I could fix it?

EDIT: of course as soon as I post this I find a fix using a different Proton version, the latest Proton-GE build via ProtonUp-Qt

Good morning, New on linux (mint) I installed Dune awakening. The latter is validated on protondb. However the launcher wants to use dx12 and I get an error message like the system cannot use it. I don't know if there is a connection, but my laptop has an NVIDIA 4060 Any idea is welcome. THANKS

I'm using KDE Plasma (with Arch btw) and if I enable HDR, GPU screen recorder will record the screen and everything just fine, but the playback will show a very gray tint to everything, almost like it's washed out.

How can I keep HDR enabled without ruining how clips work?

Is this something that can be fixed via post processing?

EDIT: Bonus points if someone can tell me why my microphone keeps only recording to the left channel.

I've recently run into an issue where my main disk is showing it is full. The disk itself only had 44 gb of data on it that could be located with tools like k4dirstat. After much digging, I finally have located what I believe is the culprit, which is /home/user/.cache/doc being absolutely full of steam files. My OS drive is 250 GiB, but /home/user/.cache/doc is showing as using 644.2 GiB. I do have a separate drive for my steam library, mounted at /games, which is showing the expected amount of storage utilization, which roughly matches the 644.2 figure. Uninstalling a game decreased both /games and /home/user/.cache/doc by roughly the same amount.

I've tried clearing the download cache in steam, but that didn't do anything. Restarting changed nothing, and I've verified the mountpoint for the games drive is correct. I'm currently using the .deb version of steam, when I first noticed this issue I was using the snap version. I'm seeing this with heroic as well, although to a far lesser extent as I only have a few games installed.

I'm assuming this is a snap issue, rather than a steam issue. If anyone has an idea for how to resolve it, without wiping my entire steam and epic libraries, that would be appreciated.

I'm not sure but I suspect because I have Flatseal installed to manage my flatpak permissions that it isn't launching the shortcuts properly.
RPCS3 shortcuts:
"/app/bin/rpcs3" --no-gui "%%RPCS3_GAMEID%%:NPUB30698"

ShadPS4 shortcut:
/app/bin/shadps4 "/mnt/07d808f9-7705-4e65-9bd3-77441ea3c352/Games/ES-DE/Emulators/PS4/CUSA00900/eboot.bin"

Both these games run when launched via their emulators and both are backups of physical media I own and can provide pictures of the physical copies if needed. Anyways when I click the .desktop shortcuts the "Create shortcut" option generates all I get is an error message that says "There was an error launching the application" which doesn't really tell me anything about how to solve the problem, just that there is a problem.

Both my PS3 and PS4 backups are stored on a removable drive but I've given flatpaks access to that drive in Flatseal so I'm drawing a blank why the shortcuts are having issues.

So i got Linux Mint a couple of days ago but I'm more of a gamer and i tried playing games on it but it doesn't do so good some games don't even start and I'm starting to regret getting Linux idea is that i know and see that is better than windows but i wanna change to Nobara because i researched that its more on the gaming side but, here's where the problem comes in, I made a bootable usb drive with latest versoin of NOBARA KDE with NVIDIA drivers on it from the nobaraproject.org site right? but when i open the boot menu of my device its not seeing the usb stick and even worse, i tried opening the grub menu and its still not showing i really don't know what to do please help me people

Getting this error message after installing The Curse of Monkey Island and attempting to start it.

/.local/share/lutris/runners/scummvm/bin/scummvm: error while loading shared libraries: libtheoradec.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any suggestions how to get it to work? Thanks in advance

• SwayWM

(I'm fully aware that the Integrated Graphics here are below the system requirements for FC4, however it has no issues running natively at reduced settings on Windows, FC3 and FC5 both also run acceptably under proton.)

I've tried pretty much every combination of launch options outlined in the game's protondb compatibility page, as well as multiple different versions of both normal and GloriusEggroll releases and the result is always the same:

• Ubisoft Connect window shows up, syncs saves, etc
• Game starts, executable shows up in btop but is perpetually stuck at 100-200mb of ram usage and won't go any higher

Anyone else had similar issues? or if not could maybe point me in the right direction? Sorry if I haven't provided enough info, this is all I could think of that could be relevant.

Trying to get an install of Oblivion Remastered that I set up on an external SSD to actually run. Pressing the play button does absolutely nothing.

Linux Mint Cinnamon, fully updated. Steam's fully updated. Game's fully updated. I've never had this issue on Windows, and my system's SSD doesn't have any room for games left on it, so this was my solution... but it's not working.

IDK what valve do with proton on steam to make work better than other apps like heroic and lutris, but whenever i try to work with their version of proton they don't work and i tried different versions of proton but never worked, until i used proton on steam and my games worked right away.
Thank you valve

Hi, on one of my screens I see "dancing pixels" on a static image, for example screen settings window. This screen is LG, 1080p75hz, 2nd is iiyama 1080p144hz. Now I'm using KDE and the issue occurs, beforehand I had a similar issue on Hyprland & Arch, but disabling of the freesync helped me back then - now - no chances. Both screens are connected via DP cable. Ofc issue does not occur on Windows 11, so it's not a hardware thing. I also forced GDM with a flag usage in my grub configuration.

(Steam news) You all know, steam introduced this extended fps overlay. But even with the latest steam version, I can only select these 2 options. Because actually there should be 4 options.
What should I do? Is there a package missing?
I try delete steam (pacman -Rn steam) and reinstall, butnothing change.

My mouse doesn't support onboard memory for click latency and performance mode and runs on 8ms click latency by default, even on 1000hz polling rate, it has to run driver in the back to get 1ms click and performance mode, it has no driver for linux, I don't know what to do 😭, my games are running crisp, everything is okay, just this one issue.

Can someone more knowledgeable than me help create an appimage of render96ex so there is an easy way to add the native version to the Steam Deck?

Ive installed bazzide on my rog ally with dualboot. But when i turn it on it just boots into bazzite anf grub wont show up. It only shows up when i press escape when turning the ally on. Is there any way that it automaticly shows up when booting?

I'm looking to try just Bazzite on the PC I'm about to put together and I'm mostly interested in it because I'm tired of paying for Microsoft spyware.

Do you dual boot with windows? Or another Linux distro, or at all?

I'm a noob at this and just here for some guidance/inspiration.
