This Sunday we're going to try the new survival-crafting-building mechanics in our space sim, Junkyard Space Agency. It is a KSP-inspired simulator with realistic orbital mechanics and flight model, but with survival and colony building gameplay and Rust-y vibes.

100% human slop, developed on Linux and aiming at Linux gamers first. We need your help to make it cool!

Enroll on Steam, then jump into our Discord, if you have a couple of hours on Sunday, without better to do, than playing a space bum making fuel from potatoes on a damned asteroid.

Whenever I try to start any of the Stronghold (Crusader) games, I get a flickering and mirrored startup screen that doesn't go away. Sound continues playing and I can even use the menu, but without seeing it at all. See Video attached.

This problem occurs no matter the Proton version, with steam overlay on or off, after reinstalls, shader cache resets and file verification. All games have a gold or higher rating on protondb so I'm really at a loss.

My system info:
- Ryzen 5 3600X
- RX 5700, mesa 1:25.3.4-1, lib32-mesa 1:25.3.4-1
- enough RAM
- Arch on Linux 6.18.7-zen1-1-zen
- KDE Plasma 6.5.5 & Wayland/Kwin

I tried looking for other people experiencing this problem online, couldn't find anyhting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WARNING: FLASHING VIDEO, DO NOT WATCH IF YOU MIGHT HAVE PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY

Startup screen is mirrored and flickers. Proton GE gets me half a second further than any other Proton version I've tried.

After running the game for a couple of seconds, these GL errors fill up a full MiB and the remainder of the log. In my mind, these lines sound like they might be connected to the issue.

Valve has been the company giving the biggest push to Linux gaming, and it still is. It seems Valve’s investment in Linux gaming isn’t just about not depending on Windows, but also about working toward a long-term (hardware) goal - first with the Steam Deck, and now with the Steam Machine/Frame.

And with the "bad timing" announcement (and now delay), due to a global memory (RAM) and storage (SSDs) shortage, it will affect their hardware production and price.

Like I mentioned in the title, if the hardware fails, do you think they might reduce their interest (and investment) in Linux gaming (Proton) overall, or not?

so I've been a windows user for almost my entire life. from windows xp to windows 11 and my experience with linux has only been for one course in college where we used it to learn bash script (which I forgot completely lol).

but idk what happened to windows last year where they decided AMD is publicly enemy number 1 and decided that bsod should happen whenever windows feels like it.

so I decided to make the jump to linux (especially since my pc was an all amd build which I heard works great on linux) and instead of daily driving of dual booting because I knew myself that I wouldn't commit to it (yes this wasn't the smartest idea and almost screwed myself but I did make it work in the end lol)

so I picked up bazzite so if I ever decided to experiment with linux I wouldn't end up screwing myself and seeing it was gaming focused which is what I mostly use my pc for it was a good pick. (I honestly learned that you probably shouldn't sweat about whichever distro you pick most of them are pretty similar) and now almost a month in I bearly notice a difference between my pc right now and pc last year (outside of a lot of problems I had mysteriously disappearing) and I think that's exactly what an OS needs to be.

to me and I assume to many others an OS is a means to an end, we just use it to do the things we want to do with little to no thinking and honestly I haven't needed to use much of my technical skills (googling and hoping I can find a fix) because I haven't faced any issue, and the games I couldn't run only required a little bit of tinkering but nothing that even required googling lol.

so if you are considering to switch to linux I think you should give it a try and you will probably end up preferring it over windows.

I've been having issues getting the scaling on my system to work properly with games. In the Plasma Display Configuration there is the option for Legacy applications (x11) scaling.

If I set it to Apply scaling themselves then I get a clear picture, at the expense of improperly scaled UI, and games rendering at a crazy high resolution (Minecraft reports 4096x2248 when windowed fullscreen on my 1440p monitor)

If I set to Scaled by the system, i get proper UI scaling, but then i don't get the clarity from before, instead i get a slightly blurry picture on fine details, and aliasing in movement. It's also worth mentioning this setting makes some other applications completely break so I can't leave it on system wide.

Is there a proper solution for this? Most games I play are on steam (like Gow or RDR2), which both suffer from the GUI scale, then slight blurring if scaled by the system. Also when scaled by the system, games still don't report my monitors actual resolution and is slightly off, likely the cause for the blurriness.

My system is running under wayland with the games running under xwayland, Fedora with kde plasma and an RTX 4060 ti. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So, I've wanted to go over to linux but I havent turned over because the only thing stopping me are multiplayer games especially Valorant. While my brain was turned off, an idea came suddenly and thought why dont i just keep both, then I remembered, people have 2 OS'.

I'm here to ask on what approach would be great.

About my setup, its a beelink ser 5 max, Nvme m.2 512gb crucial and a backup hard drive toshiba 512gb.

I havent thought of what my approach would be, whether which drive will be the main drive and if its feasible to install 2 OS' in one drive. Curious if anyone has done it and how you did it?

Black screen goes away when alt tabbing and focused window becomes anything else other than the game but going back to the game, its black screen again.

Hi linux_gaming,

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on for the last few weeks. It’s called YAGO (Yet Another Game Organizer).

To be totally honest: This is my first real software project released to the public. I’m primarily a "lazy" programmer and tiny gamer(only have my arch linux laptop) from India. who got tired of manually managing Python scripts, Wine prefixes, and hex-editing .ini files just to get mods working on Genshin. tried other launchers, does not click with me.

I decided to learn to build a tool that automates the headache. Yes, I taken a lot of help from coding agents, hear me out, This is my first project and first time really tried to build a software. I do daily job as food delivery person, Its not my forte. learned coding in free time, everything myself.

What it attempts to do:

• Linux Logic: It handles the Download and Launch Command chain automatically (so no more fighting with different downloaders/launchers).
• Virtual File System: It uses symlinks to load mods, so it never actually touches or overwrites your game files. When you close the app, the game folder is clean. I vigorously tested it. just don't exit yago while game is running. your next launch may be buggy, kill the game process if game running in background without quitting, yago monitors it in any state, as long as its open.
• Auto-Fixes: It tries to auto merge and fix bad .ini files and handle the "Wardrobe" logic for swapping character skins. May break mods, requires testing further

The Ask: Since this is my first release (v0.1.0 Alpha), I am sure I have missed edge cases with different distros or Window Managers. I’ve tested it on my Arch laptop, and it seems stable.

• If anyone here plays these games and is willing to test it out, I’d love to know:
• Does the AppImage launch correctly on your distro?
• Does your distro/os, flatpak build is launching and stable? (i do have windows builds they may not even work, not tested)
• Does the Download/Add Game/Launch injection actually hook the game process for you?
• Mod/ReShade Injection completely optional. I think i turned mod injection on by default, i will revert in next patch. make sure to turn off if you want pure vanilla game
• Many feature are may broken across distros. wuwa download/injection not implemented(may crush), vanilla adding manually and launch may work.
• Click trust installation if you have added working game manually. Avoids extensive repair checks.

Links:

• GitHub: niraash-code/YAGO (no links due to auto filters)

The code is open source (MIT), and I’m very open to code reviews or advice on how to make the my development plans worth it.. if want to help me, who trying to do something in my 30s that i thought impossible before, do support me in link on github. I want to build awesome open source tools going forward.

English is not my native language, pardon for mistakes. I hope you enjoy my tool.

Thanks! ~ Nira Ash

i have no idea why or how to fix this but im unable to change my refresh rate to 240 or 144 when im not on 1920x1080 when my monitors support it, i know this because im able to change it on windows, im currently using x11 but its the same on wayland.

its very strange because when i play cs2 in fullscreen windowed i can use any resolution and still be on 240hz but no matter what i do it cant be changed

im on an nvidia gpu and ive tried downgrading my drivers to see if that could fix it but still no luck, if anyone could help me i would really appreciate it.

(unsure if this is the right flair or sub)

so i bought a shifter knob to use with any truck sim game but there were no previously available drivers, so I have to use this. I know its only a minor inconvenience, but I didn't want to open it manually before playing every time and tried to make a systemd unit.

I have literally never done almost anything in systemd, especially with units. I somehow was able to get it to start, but it never shows up in any of the games configuration menus.

any sort help from anyone even slightly more experienced than me would be nice :)

Hello,

I just installed Bazzite beside my windows (i just have to use windows for Battlefield 6 and CS2 with Faceit). I never touch any moussettings in Windows, so that i never forget what i had set up when i reinstall it.

But in Bazzite it's quite to fast. Is there a possibilty to bring the sensivity on the exact same level as in Windows? Games like CS2 use raw input anyway, so i just need it for the desktop feeling.

2nd question: Is there a way to use open razer on Bazzite?

I'm using an Arch based Linux distro (Nyarch)(Don't judge) but seem to be having issues getting Duel Corp to play correctly on Linux. I've tried all the options for compatibility layers of proton but they either do not launch the game or give the same error. any advice would help.
I did buy the game and am logged into my game. So far this is the only game giving me this error.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is my favorite flight simulator right now. Recently I started using mainly Linux on my PC. Linux Mint is my favorite distro, but although I think Cinnamon looks good on my 4K monitor, I recently decided to use KUbuntu 25.10 because I think KDE Plasma looks even better, and I like the user experience.

I have Steam installed on it, and I have Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 already (and had been playing it on Windows). I installed MSFS 2024 on KUbuntu and set it up to run with Proton Experimental, and was pleasantly surprised that it's actually playable and runs very well, much like it does on Windows. Just one glitch though - The background on the startup screen is a multi-color test pattern, as shown below. I'm curious if anyone knows what the solution might be?
