Hello all, I know the customary answer to the above is "Don't" but there are a few exceptions that I would like to have access to again.

I consistently have issues getting the launcher of FF14 working with my PopOS instance, and have had the workaround solutions kill my install a few times.

Additionally, some of the small revival projects (Such as H&G revival or Ghost in the Shell revival) are windows Only.

Being on a RX 5700xt, I don't believe GPU pass thru will allow me to play using a Windows VM, but if there is a suggestion I am open to it. Secondarily, is a dual boot the best option? I have a 2TB drive I just don't need that was filled with many games I don't play when I swapped to Linux, which is still empty.

Suggestions welcome!

If you love sports and fast-paced action, Sparkball will be one you need to check out with a playable demo coming in Steam Next Fest.

9 Kings is a fast-paced roguelike kingdom builder where you get to watch tiny armies fight and it's surprisingly absorbing of your time.

I am getting into PC gaming, and want to use linux because windows is crap rn and linux seems to play all the games I want. Now I'm wondering what distro to get. Two that caught my eye were Garuda and Pop!_OS. I'm not a total n00b and can navigate a computer well.

Edit: I would like to know your reason for your suggestions.

Hi there.
I'm new to Linux, but im having a blast.
I am running a couple games off steam using proton feature.

Decided that i want to play Rust.
Downloaded.
launched.
The anticheat loaded, game booted up, but once i press "play game", an unity loader dialog pops up and the game crashes once that loader comes to the finish.

Googled a ton, but could not find a solution to get inside the game further than that.

tried to force vulkan or opengl useage, no result.

pls help

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to run Ubisoft Connect on Linux using Lutris with Proton GE (GloriousEggroll), but I’m facing a frustrating keyboard problem.

Basically, I can’t type characters that require special keys like Shift, Alt, Caps Lock, etc. For example, I can’t type the @ character, which means I can’t log into my account. Pasting the character doesn’t work either.

Has anyone encountered this? Any ideas on how to fix the keyboard input so special keys work properly?

I'm on Linux Mint, amd cpu + gpu if needed.

Hey all, moderately new to Linux from Windows 10. Been running F42KDE for about a week now (been running Mint on my laptop for a year prior), been banging my head against the wall trying to get my Steam games running with very tepid success.

Build:

• Gigabyte Z390 Designare
• Intel i9 9900K
• NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti
• 64 GB RAM

I installed the NVIDIA drivers per instructions as such: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5uxX2U3tYE

The library was originally installed in Windows 10. Fastboot is disabled. Steam was installed from CLI using "sudo dnf install steam"

Proton Experimental selected for compatibility in Steam settings.

I'm testing using 4 games God of War, Skyrim SE, Portal, and Stardew Valley. The results I've seen are consistent regardless of which hard drive they are installed on so far. I uninstalled each and reinstalled on the drive Fedora's installed on to see if that helps. So far Portal and Stardew Valley result the same.

• God of War: Does not open. Vulkan Shaders cache, files validate, and then the process just ends.
• Skyrim SE: Same as GoW
• Portal: Game starts, but beginning a new game crashes the game.
• Stardew Valley: The game starts, but there's a bug where I don't have control over the mouse. It gets stuck on one button, and I cannot proceed in the game.

I've tried switching to Gnome X11, KDE X11, neither fixed the issues.

NVIDIA driver version is 570.153.02 according to nvidia-smi.

At this point I'm just not sure what my next troubleshooting steps are. Ideas very welcome. Thanks all.

Update: Skyrim opened, which is cool. Don't have mouse control, but I think I can troubleshoot that on my own. At least the game is running.

It was the art style of Sol Cesto that first pulled me in, now I'm hooked on the roguelite slot-machine like mechanics of it.

When I'm trying to play SF6 on Steamdeck performance is good, but input lag is kinda terrible - both on built-in pad, and different leverless controllers. On my PC with Manjaro everything works flawless, even better than on Windows.

I've been playing cs for a while now (about 3 years, yes I know, sanity going to 0 gradually), and was sick of performance on Losedows: Micro-stutters especially, and generally low fps. But I'm also a huge Linux fan ever since I got my first rasp pi some years ago.

Card 4060 ti / CPU Ryzen 5 5600X (Mid range build)

In a game like CS every ms counts, in the top right you can see average fps but most importantly, max draw time. Which if I understand correctly, you want to be bellow 10ms if using a display 120Hz +. The lower the better.

What is good about it tho is that it's native so benchmarks don't rely on proton version or wine, lutris. Also using the same in game settings.

Again only steps I did for setup on Arch after 'archinstall' :

Disable compositor in KDE settings, select x11 in sddm, and launched the Nvidia settings app once (set to performance) + downloaded recommended libs. Also 'prime-run' in launch options of said games.

Made sure to have amd-ucode, and cpupower profile to perf.

I see daily posts on many communities but I'm unsure that these steps have been followed each time. (I just saw that all the instructions on archwiki are about x11 for Nvidia, so seemed logical).

For me it's basically simple to double performance and CPU/GPU usage is lower in mission-center than on windows counterpart.

12 ms / 200 fps average on Windows.

5 ms / 400 fps on Arch.

I know these aren't truly benchmarks or in depth analysis but it does go to show how much setting up the right way is important for hardware and how the OS actually can be optimized quite extensively. It also reflects personal experience with trying a lot of different stuff to get to this end-result.

I also did the basic windows optimizations, but with little results to show for.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that if Valve have taken the Arch road for SteamOS, you can too on your own hardware and get incredibly cool results even with the devil green marketing team (Nvidia), and that it's actually not that complicated as people make it out to be <3 Peace
