I recently installed bazzite on to a 2tb external ssd. I have only a couple of games installed with about 1.8tb free. I am now getting cloud errors and disk write errors when I try to start steam. Chown -r fixed it temporarily, but every time I boot the issue comes back. I did add the game library to my windows boot (which probably caused the issue). Is there any way to fix this without a total reinstall?

It is a homage to the classic arcade marble games I really love (mainly Marble Madness, Gyroscope, Hamsterball and Ballance).

Hello,

I have been a vanilla Debian user for a while as well as a steam deck enjoyer.

I have a gaming pc that’s all AMD and compatible with steam OS.

I wonder the advantages of running steam OS vs steam on Debian, from a gaming standpoint. Would the performance be better on steam OS?

SteamOS is attractive since a lot of solutions are tailored to it, including emudeck and others.

Thanks for any advice!

Im back at Linux, in other times I used windows because I needed it for work and games and now Linux seems to work everything or almost everything…

I currently use the newer version of POP Linux

Soo…

Which games should I play to test it? Also what changes should I go with to make more pretty and mine?

Cheers.

Hi r/linux_gaming.

I’ve been posting updates here about Austraoxe, my first-person puzzle game built in Unreal Engine 5. The Situation:

As a solo programmer, I have the core mechanics and physics working. However, to hit the high visual and atmospheric fidelity I’m aiming for (think Portal 2 meets Severance), I need specialists.

Since I recently had to move my development environment to Windows for stability, I am specifically looking for teammates who use Linux daily. I want to ensure our Native build is tested constantly on real hardware.

The Roles Open:

1- 3D Environment Artist: You excel at 'industrial decay.' We need that sterile-but-grimy lab aesthetic. (Blender/Maya -> UE5).

2- Level Designer: You understand puzzle pacing and leading the player with lighting.

3- Sound Designer: The game relies heavily on atmosphere. I need someone to create the ambient hums, footsteps, and mechanical crunches that make the facility feel alive.

The Deal:

This is a Revenue Share project. We build it, we ship it, we split the profit.

If you want to help build a high-quality Linux-native game, please DM me or drop a comment with your portfolio/previous work.

Hi ! after a lot of trial and error with lutris and bottles I managed to install a game on bottles, the runners worked and all of that and the game launched well. But I encountered a problem, my xbox 360 controller didn't work (only the left joystick and all the buttons where mismatched), then the only help I found on the internet told me to download xinput (didn't work) or run the game (or even bottles itself) trough steam and enable steam input (didn't work). Then wine told me to install .NET with I did, and now my game wouldn't launch anymore.

If you need more info to help, I'm a complete linux noob so

When playing Baldur's Gate 3 off of steam, it randomly crashes and fails to save any data. Up until that point, it runs perfectly smoothly. I have not been able to find a detailed account of a similar problem happening anywhere -- most other posts indicate that it either crashes on startup, or crashes their computer.

I'm a bit new to gaming in linux, so forgive me if I'm a bit inexperienced. I have been running Linux (Pop_Os!) as my main OS for a few years now and work in code for the most part, so I'm decently well-versed in troubleshooting in general.

System

Laptop Model: ROG Zephyrus G16 GU603VI-G16.I74070 Operating System: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS CPU: 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-13620H × 16 Graphics: NVIDIA Corporation / NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU/PCIe/SSE2

Output

Running steam from terminal gave me this output, from start to finish (it crashed about 3 minutes in):

When I try to run games or different programs, there are white or black squares, or any other color, on the screen. What is the solution? I use Linux

I got it working, CSGO in bottles (not steam) on Linux Mint.

Any idea how to play with skins? I have to do sv_lan 1 to play otherwise it says steam validation failed and as far as I know sv lan disable the skins.

Any way without using a skin changing software because its on linux running a program side by side to csgo in bottles will be complicated.

I just want to play with bots no ill itentions here - just want to live out the old days.

I don't want to play CS2.

⚠️ The Problem

If only the 3rd LED glows, your controller is in DirectInput mode.
In this mode:

• Rumble doesn’t work.
• Many games (especially modern ones using XInput) won’t detect it.

What you actually want is XInput mode, where the 1st and 2nd LEDs glow together — that’s the proper Xbox-compatible mode.

For some reason, the controller needs to exchange a few weird initialization packets with the PC before it switches to XInput. I haven’t gone deep into packet emulation yet — but there’s a very easy workaround.

The first image is the problem(3rd led) and second image is the xinput mode(1st and 2nd)

✅ The Simple Fix

When the controller doesn’t detect an active USB data line (D+ / D−), it automatically switches to XInput mode.

So all you have to do is:

• Turn on the controller before the PC fully boots, and check that LED 1 & 2 glow.
• OR put your PC to sleep (suspend), turn on the controller, and then wake the PC.

That’s it — now it’ll be in XInput mode with rumble and full compatibility.

🔧 Make Linux Recognize It (xpad driver)

Run this one-line command to make the xpad driver automatically detect your controller:

echo 'ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="module", KERNEL=="xpad", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '\''echo 0283 0001 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/xpad/new_id'\''"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/90-xpad-new-id.rules && sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

If you prefer doing it step by step:

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/90-xpad-new-id.rules

Then paste this inside:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="module", KERNEL=="xpad", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 0283 0001 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/xpad/new_id'"

And apply:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

sudo udevadm trigger

🧠 For the Curious (My DIY Hardware Fix)

I built a small system using two relays and an LDR (light sensor):

• The PC’s USB D+ and D− lines go into the COM pins of two relays.
• The Normally Open (NO) pins connect to the controller dongle’s D+ and D−.
• The LDR monitors the dongle’s LED (it blinks when disconnected, solid when connected).
• When blinking = relays open (disconnected).
• When solid = relays close (connected).

This way, the controller only connects once it’s already in Xbox (XInput) mode.
Now it starts correctly every single time — fully automatic

Whenever i try to open doom It goes normally until when the title screen is supposed to appear. After that i get a short blackscreen with my cursor And it just crashes. I got an error message that says that the wine preloader crashed because of SIGSEGV (I am using steam and proton) I am using fedora 43 and tried using other versions of proton. I am sorry if this is hard to understand.

I have been trying to play The Last of Us Part 1, but I am getting random freezes after playing anywhere from 15-30 minutes. The game would freeze, but the audio would keep looping. I would need to force quit and restart. I tried a few different proton versions (Experimental, GE-Proton9, Proton10, next will try GE-Proton10.3). I tried "PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%" from protondb which i felt helped with making the framerates stable, but the problem still remains. I am not sure what is causing this. If anyone had this issue (or knows about it), please let me know how I might be able to fix this.
