so i tried playing ghost recon breakpoint via steam. I managed to get uplay up and running, but as soon as I picked my style of playthough, my linux os closed it, citing that it used too much ram. I have tried looking around for a solution but no one seems to have one. I have enough ram according to the recomended specs on the steam page, so why is it over using ram?

System specs:

OS: Ubuntu 25.10

CPU: Intel Core i5-13420H 13th gen

Ram: 8gb

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050

I've recently switched to linux mint and all my games work flawlessly except for overwatch 2. My FPS aren't great but most annoying is my ping spikes every 1-2 seconds which makes the game essentially unplayable.

I've tried it both on Steam and Lutris, turned my settings way down, and reinstalled drivers. Nothing seems to work and I can't find any thread on people with the same exact issue (and those with similar ones the solutions, see above, didn't work).

Is there any other steps I could take to try and fix this problem? I'm still a beginner on linux and don't know much.

By "Linux first", I mean developing primary on Linux, and porting to Windows, which I gather is flip-flopped from typical practice. The game has been out for a few weeks now. Given the title, I don't think it will be surprising to hear I had more technical issues with the Windows port during the last two weeks of development. The key takeaway is next time I will test on Windows more frequently. Testing on all ports frequently is good advice in general, though.

I'm seeing more people giving Linux a try, which I'm expecting means more indie game developers will pay closer attention to Linux. If that's you, here are a few experiences I'd like to share.

Workflow: Building the Windows port reminded me why I switched to Linux in the first place. Frequent notification pop-ups, updates, anti-virus warnings, CoPilot pop-ups, and so on lead to too many distractions. None of these, by themselves, would have been too bad, but added together my overall experience was frustrating. To be fair, if I used Windows more frequently then these interruptions would be spread out over a longer time frame. Still, I when I turn on my Linux system, it boots up and I'm ready to go to work.

Peripheral Testing: I bought an off-brand XBox controller to test gamepad support. To get it to work on Linux, I had to edit the driver source code. This was probably a combination of poor luck and poor research. Linux has come a long way since I started using it, but there are still hiccups.

Anti-virus: For a while I ran into constant crashes that left no stack trace. Eventually I noticed the executable disappeared entirely. Anti-virus had deleted it! I ended up disabling anti-virus completely. I'm sure there's a more graceful solution, but since I use the Windows PC strictly for building my own Windows apps, I'm not concerned about viruses. I can turn anti-virus back on and run a scan manually. It doesn't need to run 24/7.

Steam Deck: I don't think anyone will be surprised to hear I had no trouble at all building a Steam Deck port.

Bash Scripts and Tools: Bash scripts helped me automate a lot of tedious tasks. In particular, coupled with ImageMagick, I had tools to help me build and manipulate sprite sheets, organize game data files, generate physical steam keys to give away at conventions, and more. Admittedly, I'm out of the loop with Windows PowerShell. Still, the terminal emulator proved to be a valuable tool.

I'm looking to jump ship from Windows to Linux soon, but I've just realized I have no idea how my Logitech keyboard and SteelSeries mouse are going to work on a non-windows OS.

Logitech G Hub has Windows and Mac downloads on their site and SteelSeries only has a Windows version on their website.

My current use case is setting my macro keys to specific functions in apps via the use of unused Function keys (think I use F16-25), and the mouse needs DPI adjustment and has a few buttons bound for system settings like mute and mouse3.

My first thought is to maybe run these thru WINE, Proton, or some sort of translation / emulation layer which might work for initial setup, but it would be really annoying if I had to do that everytime I start my PC. Surely there's a tool out there I just don't know of that handles this right?

Also, I'm not that concerned about the RGB stuff on my peripherals, I typically set everything to a single color with a few deviations for stuff like my volume adjust keys being lighter or darker shades. I have seen OpenRGB as a solution for this atleast.

I want to play Left 4 Dead 2 but it just spews out a "Failed to create D3D device!" error no matter what proton version I try, or I try to wait for it to finish loading vulkan shaders, nothing works. I have noticed that non-steam games I play work PERFECTLY on bottles and I just thought if it'd be possible to run steam games through bottles?

I found this after my son asked if I wanted the wheel (he moved from Xbox to PC and there's no Windows driver for the wheel).

I've been using it with Super Tux Cart and having great fun!

So I've been having this problem where my mouse won't stay in the game window when I move it. I have a 2 monitor setup, with the game being on the right monitor and whenever I move my mouse to the left, it leaves the game and goes to the other monitor.

I tried using different versions of proton with no luck. I don't have this issue with any other game I play, it's exclusive to Fallout 4.

I hope someone can help me solve this issue! I'd love to be able to play Fallout 4 again but this issue just makes the game unplayable at the moment.

Thank you in advance!

I saw a few people wondering about 2k, and I will say: I’m using steam and Linux Mint. It’s been flawless for me, no errors. I didn’t even do anything special, literally just installed it on steam like normal, and it runs out the box even if you select online (with EAC) when launching. So yes, it works no problems.

Can anyone identify whats going on in this clip ? This is clip doesn't do it justice how prominent it is but if you you look at the rocks or tree you can see some kind of darkening/color change in the textures when moving the camera. I previously played on windows and it looked great.

I bench my PC with it every once in a while and with new builds. For some reason less than a year ago, my CPU score went down 5000 points in Linux and it's been that way ever since even with a new motherboard and new Linux installs. I just tested in Windows and it did ~5000 points better than Linux, ie, normal, so apparently the CPU hasn't degraded. If you don't know, 5000 points on CPU score is a lot with PT. My 5600x would do ~2350 in Windows and old Linux but only ~1700 in recent months. That tells me something changed since. Could it be the governor?

Just curious as to whether anyone has experience using this tool:

I have a game for windows that I want to play in Linux Bazzite. By default it is controlled with a keyboard, but I know it can be set up to be played with a controller in Windows. I have installed AntiMicroX. Is it possible to use AntiMicroX to play any Windows game, including the aforementioned one, with a controller?

Hey everyone,

I swapped over to Bazzite on my desktop, but have been some having issues with Discord screensharing. I normally share my browser on Discord to watch YouTube and movies with friends, but when I open up a game or some other application that plays audio, those watching the stream on Discord are not able to hear any stream audio anymore.

This happens on both the official and Canary flatpaks. I haven't tested on Vesktop yet as the office is shared with another person so I need push to talk on and wasn't sure how to get that working globally.

Any ideas on what I can do to resolve this?

I just finished with the restoration of an old pc, it has really low specs like intel pentium dual core processor and runs on 4 gb of ram and 1gb vram, so i installed MX linux on it and i am looking to keep it for daily use and all. Are there any free video games that can run on this hardware?

If you have been experiencing bugs in games that previously did not happen then reverting to an earlier version of proton or using GE should fix the issue.

For some reason proton has started having known windows bugs in certain games in recent versions.

The bugs I have personally experienced have been mostly input related.
