Kubuntu 24.04 LTS, DEB Steam installer and then let the client download. Login window appeared just fine, but then the icon appears in the tray and every 10 seconds the taskbar entry appears for a brief moment, but no attempt to open an app window helps.

I have hwarware enablement unlocked and am running kernel 6.7.10 instead of 6.8 (to avoid a touchpad detection bug), but I don't want to expect this to be the issue.

Please help.

Might a logfile help? Which one would it be? steamwebhelper throws some errors and plenty of warnings. But it's tricky to copypaste.

Hello guys,

I'm very new to Linux as I switched this month from W11.

Right now I'm on Fedora 40 Workstation (Gnome, Nvidia GPU)

Here's my situation:

I have a monitor and a TV hooked up to my PC. Sometimes I play games on my TV.

What I would do on windows is:

1. Open Steam big picture by double pressing home on my controller.
2. Steam sets my TV as main monitor. BP opens on my TV.
3. Tada 🎉 Games Open on my TV without me moving the window or whatever.
4. When I close BP steam sets my main monitor back to my monitor.

As far as I know, there is no such option on Linux Steam to set monitors when switching to BP.

My question is how do I set this up on Linux? Is there any alternative that switches my 2nd monitor as main when I press something?

In an ideal world I double press the home button on my controller twice and steam open BP and switches my monitor.

Sorry if this is the wrong flair or forum for this I'm still figuring things out as I go.

Thanks in advance!

This issue only occurs with one game on my system, Resident Evil 2 Remake, it constantly freezes before reaching the Resident Evil 2 title screen, this occurs with all/any DXVK versions enabled and only with this game, tested with multiple runners (wine, proton-ge etc) Game works fine if i disable DXVK and use wineD3D however performance is low. Also tested with both versions of the game (DX11 and DX12) from Steam and the same issue occurs, tested Proton Experimental, latest ProtonGE and some older Proton versions. Something like the video playback fails when reaching the main menu which freezes my entire system, if i disable DXVK i boot to the main menu without issues, why is wineD3D running the game and when DXVK is enabled my game freezes when reaching the main menu??? Running Fedora 39 on an old Toshiba AMD Laptop Mesa 22.1

I was happily using / game on Ubuntu 22.04 with my Nvidia 3070 mobile, I have no issue with Nvidia driver previously, even after I reinstall my Ubuntu to 24.04, (I don’t want to wait for auto update). Ubuntu still able to pickup my Nvidia and config all needed driver for me. Last week, my hand was itchy and want to try ArchLinux, and after installing Arch successfully, everything was setup nicely except for Nvidia. Since I failed to setup Nvidia on Arch few times, so I think it’s time to go back to Ubuntu, let Ubuntu do the thing for me. Now it seems like after trying to setup Nvidia on Arch, it broke my Nvidia on other Linux distro too, which in my case Ubuntu. Any experts know what is wrong with my Linux & Nvidia driver, boot are not detecting Nvidia, running ‘nvidia-smi’ give error message…

ps: My dual boot Windows able to read Nvidia…

Hi, has anyone been able to play Sea of thieves recently? I’m on Arch with NVIDIA gpu. I updated my graphics drivers today. I was trying to get Sea of thieves working with these launch options: DXVK_ASYNC=1 gamemoderun %command% And Proton Versions 8,9, Experimental and Hotfix were tried but the furthest got me Proton 8 being the start menu and then logging in after which the game needed to restart to load my language so I did that. After that it never got to the play game screen again but stopped spinning the wheel at the bottom left after the RARE and then Unreal Engine Texts. Help is appreciated. If you need more Info, just ask.

Hi, maybe someone here can help me 🙏 I have installed the latest Linux Mint version Frisch. Everything is running smoothly so far. Installed WoW Classic Cataclysm via Lutris. Everything is also running great.

Only my mouse “Steel Series Aerox 9” causes a small (for me big) problem. The mouse has 12 side buttons, all of which work fine except for button "12". I can't assign a button to it in the game. When I press the key in Chat on Desktop and Ingame (now im clicking the button a few times: ´´´´´), for example, the usual character appears there as normal, so the key works. Only when I go to the keybind layout ingame and want to assign the key, nothing happens.

Does anyone know what to do?

Sorry for my bad English

I am quite technical but I've been out of the PC gaming world for decades. I don't even know what kind of computer tech is out there now.

I want an SFF desktop that I can play Halo on (through Steam).

I will be running Linux (Debian + KDE) on it.

Open to any/all suggestions. Not to concerned with price.

Okay so this is technically a Windows question but I figure you guys may know better so don't hate too much, I'll delete if necessary but I'm not in a position to move my main pc to linux atm but I have a second ssd with games, if I reformat this to ext could I still use it to install steam games in win 11 so I only need to install linux to my windows drive when I can? Or can I use an ntfs drive with linux

I'm apparently a total and complete sucker for anything that allows for short rounds of gameplay, that mixes in elements of Brotato and Vampire Survivors to let me customize my run and Towerful Defense: Prologue has plenty of that.

Ultimate Chicken Horse is easily one of the funniest and stupidest party-platformers I've ever played, and it just had a free content update with a big discount.

Hello everyone! When I start the games with Proton (any version), the game is much darker than usual. This isn't a problem on wine, but cities skylines 2 is lagging for me on wine. This also happened in Sunkenland.

Any idea how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Proton

Wine

An update many have been waiting for, Caves of Qud, one of the best roguelikes ever has a Beta available that includes a huge overhaul to the UI. Much better for gamepad and Steam Deck players.

Hi guys I'm trying to get my Hori PS4 tatacon to run with Osu! (Lutris) has anyone managed to get it to work? I'm running latest Linux Mint and it recognizes it as a hori tatacon but it doesnt work in game (with tatacon option enabled). Should I try and map it with a software similliar to ds4windows, will it detect the drum as ds4? If yes, what software do you recommend (prefferably with a gui)? Thanks in advance.
