Just a quick edit to bring that chart everyone sharing, but for those who dedicated to only one platform.

It's my first year using only Linux (was dualbooting for years before), so I guess I want to celebrate it somehow... even if it such a silly thing.

P.S. Sorry for this shitpost, it probably will be deleted as the rest of steam replay posts. Please don't ban me, I rarely post/comment anyway.

I'm new to Linux and I understand that playing games on this operating system is very complicated, but I found this page and I'm wondering if it works or if it's safe.

I don't know what you all think.

So, for the past 6 months or so I have been daily driving Fedora Linux, and I’ve really enjoyed it. It was fun having control over my hardware again. The customization options are amazing and I feel like KDE Plasma has come a long way. Don’t get me wrong I really like Fedora! Learning some of the console commands has also been interesting and troublesome to say the least, lol. Here are a few things that make me want to go back to windows are the following:

1. The adobe software is available
2. I don’t have to worry about compatibility issues with games
3. I didn’t have much issues with windows in the first place
4. I have some windows only software and I just want things to work without me using the command prompt

I have Linux on a separate drive so I won’t be completely uninstalling Fedora, it’s just going to take a back seat for a bit. I’m sure this post will get some hate but I just wanted to say I appreciate the hard work that has gone into Linux and with valve’s support it will only get better.

Thx for reading, I just wanted to say a few things and I hope everyone has a good holiday break!

I have been thinking about jumping to Linux (Mint XFCE). I recently learned of a new(ish) emulation frontend called Retrodeck, which appealed to me because of my extensive console ROM collection. While learning about Retrodeck, I read that there can be issues with Steam if installed via Flatpak. Is this true, and if so, what is the best way if not via Flatpak? Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Trying to pick out a motherboard for my next gaming PC build with a 9800X3D and RX 9070XT. The plan is to dualboot Bazzite or CachyOS with Windows 10 till I get better acquainted with Linux and for the occasional game that won't work on it.

Been looking through lots of motherboards from the google doc and I think I've got myself down to a few options. I would like whatever board that will give me the least amount of problems with drivers, bluetooth, and networking issues.

Haven't decided if I am going ATX or mATX so looking at both currently.

Picked these boards based on features I would like to have. I need SPDIF for my speaker setup. Three M.2 slots without lane sharing to anything important like the GPU would be ideal. I can get by with just two if the board is really good and it will be hassle free.

Having the latest WIFI 7 and 5gb LAN isn't that important since I probably won't be taking advantage of those speeds anytime soon as I am still on DSL. If I ever move it would probably be further away from the cities.

I use a wired connection but sometimes I take my PC with me somewhere that's not possible. I probably can live without functioning WIFI on W10 since the goal is to switch over to Linux for most things. Worst case scenario I upgrade 10 to 11 for the few games just don't work on Linux.

Would like to hear from anyone currently using the following boards and if they had any driver issues for getting things like the WIFI, LAN, or bluetooth to work.

MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI - Seems like it would be fine for W10, WIFI would work unlike boards with WIFI7. For Linux I got mixed results. It's an older and not that much cheaper currently so maybe I shouldn't be bothering with this one.

Asus ROG STRIX B850-A GAMING WIFI - Haven't found much on it but it has intel chipset for LAN. Not sure I'd want to deal with Asus support if something goes wrong though.

Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 - Looks like a solid board from what I can tell. Better audio codec that doesn't seem to have static issues is a nice bonus. If my SBX G6 doesn't work properly on Linux I wouldn't have to worry about replacing it right away.

MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI - This was the one I was originally thinking about getting. I could have up to four NVMEs without lane sharing with anything important, and seemed solid overall. Linux support seems decent other than some issue with hardware monitoring with fans and RGB but I don't really care about RGB.

But I read about a issue with the sys-fan being very slow to respond when it comes to ramping up and slowing down. Doesn't sound like it affects CPU fan headers though so maybe it's not a big deal if it doesn't negatively affect cooling.

Gigabyte B850M AORUS ELITE WIFI6E ICE - Similar to the other Gigabyte I mentioned except mATX and the WIFI will work with Windows 10. Only negative is two M.2 slots since I was planning on reusing a 2TB NVME from my current PC for extra game storage. One of the cheaper options.

MSI MAG B850M MORTAR WIFI - Seems like a great board, doesn't sound like I would have any or many issues with drivers for Linux. The only negative for this board is that it is incompatible with the Sudokoo SK700 cooler I want. But there is always the Thermalright Phantom Spirit for half the price.

That's all the boards, hoping someone can help shorten the list at the very least.

I am open to others I may have missed as long they are under $300 and they check all the boxes.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,

I'm hitting a wall with Yakuza Kiwami and I'm honestly scared to keep testing it because of how hard it crashes my rig.

I'm on KDE Plasma, Zorin OS with an RX 570. The game runs smooth actually i played for 11 hours, but right now random stuff starts happening:

1. Audio starts stuttering/cutting in and out.
2. Game freezes.
3. Audio dies completely.
4. Monitor loses signal (black screen) but the PC fans are still spinning.

I have to hold the power button to hard reset. The scary part is: after I force shut down, my PC refuses to boot immediately. I have to wait a bit or try a few times before it boots again.

It feels like a thermal trip, BUT this only happens in Yakuza Kiwami. I played heavier games before without any issues. And i can play Forza Horizon 4 without issue at this moment.

Maybe a memory leak filling up the 4GB VRAM and choking the driver? If anyone knows a fix or a specific Proton GE version to stop this, please let me know. I really want to finish this game. Thanks!

I don't really remember playing this much on Windows, but since this year i tested a bunch of games on Windows due to my GPU dying, it's possible. I wouldn't really consider them "played" though. ;)

I have finally decided to say goodbye to Windows and hello to Linux (Mint XFCE). I have an extensive collection of ROMs (32 GB) spread out over 7 consoles. I also purchased and am playing Tiny Tina's Wonderlands through Steam and have a save file I am fond of. Here are my questions, and thanks in advance for any advice you give:

1. Which is the best (least painful and easiest to set up and get going) solution - Retrobat through Bottles, emudeck, or ES-DE, or is there a better one? I am trying to avoid Retroarch if possible because of a bad experience in the past.
2. If the best solution winds up being ES-DE, fine. If I want to use an emulator other than the one that comes pre-installed with ES-DE but is supported by ES-DE, do I have to manually install the emulator myself or will ES-DE do it for me?
3. Will I have to manually transfer my save file from Windows to Linux when I install TTW?

Thanks again in advance for any and all advice you give regarding my situation. :)

So I'm trying to get wmvs running so I can play resident evil, I installed GE proton which works for the newer titles but not the original for some reason. Reading around it was suggested to install wm11 with proton 5.0, but when I try I get the error message

warning: /home/simon/.cache/protontricks/proton/Proton 5.0/bin/wine cmd.exe /c echo '%AppData%' returned empty string, error message "esync: up and running."

This happens for all other versions of proton too, except GE. What I think is the problem is the space in the folder titled Proton 5.0, in the proton folder, all proton version folders have spaces except for the GE folder. Furthermore when I directly run the command

wine cmd.exe /c echo '%AppData% from inside the proton 5.0 folder it gives the desired output. What can I do about this? When I run protontricks it creates the proton 5.0 folder during the process so I can't simply rename it.

I haven't tried but I assume I would get the same error trying to install things other than wm11

Hello, sorry if I flaired this wrong I am a bit of a noob. Elder Scrolls Online works fine(at least I think, cant access 90% of the game lol) , but cannot initialize connection with Steam. All the fixes for this issue suggest running Steam as administrator, but from what I know thats a big no-no on linux systems. Anything else I can do? Running Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon, older hardware if thats necessary info but was capable of running ESO on windows. Using native Deb version of steam directly from Valve.

So, I get these strange lines which I would guess is a GPU issue. However, I only get this on the MC Eternal modpack. I tried stonework through the same launcher (prism) and i dont see them. Every other game i dont see them either. Anyone else having this issue? On CachyOS, RTX 4060 laptop, i7 14650-hx.

After less than 3 minutes of shutting down, it was already cold, so I believe it didn't shut down on its own due to overheating. What could it have been? I've had the notebook for 3 days. This is my first time using Linux, and I'm interested in learning it, so I'm not switching to Windows.

Not sure if this belongs here but I built this game for Linux gamers/enthusiast over a weekend. It's a click and play Flappy Bird game but you're Tux escaping Microsoft bloatware and eating windows for lunch. Obstacles include Recall, Telemetry, Edge "default browser" nags, and Clippy's vengeful ghost. Crash messages are the best part honestly.

Linux Gaming already feels mainstream but with Steam Machine on the way feels like 2026 is going to be a rock solid year where most consumers get in. Let the great migration begin!

Hi, I was wondering how I can install Minecraft on a MacBook Pro M2 running Fedora 40 (I already tried on minecraft.com by installing all the extensions, GDLauncher, PolyMC, Prism, but nothing worked because the packages were all for x64-86 or for Fedora 42 or 39). Does anyone have a solution, please?
