Steam broken - reinstall needed

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 1 Stunde 8 Minuten

Hey!

I installed native Steam via my package manager on Linux Mint. Though, lately something went wrong and Steam won't do certain things. Steam support couldn't help, so I decided to reinstall Steam.
But when I "deleted" Steam via my package manager, i only got rid of 2.6 megabytes! I still could use Steam and it did not help. In my home folder I found a hidden folder called ".steam". Is this, what I'm looking for? If I delete this one folder, will I successfully get rid of Steam without deleting any other crucial parts of my system?
Thanks in advance!

Heroic games launcher keeps using default mangohud

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 1 Stunde 14 Minuten

Since goverlay released a flatpak version i wanted to use to fully embrace my flatpak addiction. I managed to get to work in flatpak steam by giving permissions through flatseal but for the love of god flatpak heroic refuses to use anything other than default mangohud no matter what I do. I went through the app and it didn't work either.

For both: Filesystem: add xdg-config/MangoHud:ro Variable: MANGOHUD=1 Worked for steam Only uses default on Heroic

I think in light of recent posts on this subreddit questioning why Win11 is still so high and people arent switching en-masse to linux, we need to discuss WHY people aren't switching. (coming from a long-time linux gamer and contributor)

every single wifi external, bluetooth external, off brand wheel and off brand gamepad just works on windows because they have standardized driversets, something that linux has struggled to implement for a while and only now Valve has cooked up with "SteamInput" (funny name but it does genuinely wonderous work) for wheels and gamepads that wont even get detected by the linux kernel but the things that most people absolutely need, such as wifi cards, they are still heavily unsupported, try plugging in a TP-Link wifi card(one of the most popular) and you will be greeted with either 1kb/s download, unable to connect to any network or literally not even being detected.

Hell, even when you need to install a driver, on windows its Download -> Install, in linux its find git -> install git, dkms, build tools -> build it yourself -> whoops dependency error -> hunt dependency -> 50% brick your system 40% Whoops 2nd dependency error 10% it actually works on first try.

P.S the wifi issue is what happened to me for the previous 3 times(2017, 2019, 2021) when i was switching to linux. No one should be forced to buy NEW hardware to switch and linux really needs to work on standardized drivers that use windows standards. Before you say "you should have known better" i think you need to understand that if you say that then you should not expect linux to succeed, because when Windows wanted to expand to non tech savvy users they made things work with 2 clicks, not by "you should've known better".

World of tanks low FPS with low CPU and GPU usage.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 2 Stunden 44 Minuten

While playing world of tanks I'm getting about 100fps max while my CPU and GPU are at about 30%-40% usage while I have a limiter for 144 fps. gamemode, gamescope and setting wine topology didn't change anything. Playing on steam with wine experimental, tried GE and was getting a lot worse fps. Currently running Bazzite, but same issue on CachyOS.

My specs are: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060TI, RAM: 32GB 3200Mhz, system and game on SSD's.
