The mods may delete this but I need a new gamer sub. Something focused on actual gaming and not yet another group of lost newbies who can't read the room first or even the rules. Even on r/Linux but at least the mods shut that down pretty quick when they're on.

I like gaming on Linux and I'm trying not to be a gate keeper but come on, I'm tired of seeing the same thing over and over. This is why I left Linux4noobs and Linuxquestions.

I wanna hear about some one's experience with their favorite game. Not about Roblox or valorant or any other that other anticheat lased crap.

Is that too much to ask?

Tired of hearing people talk about using Moonlight with Apollo because it doesn't support Linux? Still want your host PC to adjust it's resolution to match the client?

Me too! I wrote a tool to make this easier and figured others may find it useful too.

Right now it supports: * KDE through kscreen-doctor * Cosmic through cosmic-randr * And Gnome through gnomd-randr

just found out about the Self Radio stuff on GTA V and been wanting to try it out, however I've been a bit stuck.

I have found what I think is the right folder (/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/271590/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Rockstar Games/GTA V/User Music) and put in more the 4 .MP3 files, but when I go in to the game I do ether a quick or full scan for the music on the main menu it will seem to do it for ever, like a lot more then a few minutes, and when I do it in game it will scan for a few seconds and stop, Both ways ending the Self Radio not showing up.

if anyone has any idea as to what could help please let me know

edit: forgot to say I am running GTA on steam using proton 9.0-4 if that helps

I had previously dual booted Windows 10 with Linux Mint. I was trialling Linux for about a year when I decided to just dump Windows and have my PC run Linux Mint. I use r2modman for my Valheim mods. Previously this worked out fine and the launch options in Steam allowed me to use -console to enable devcommands.

When I did a clean reinstall of Linux Mint I went through the same process I had gone through last year to reinstall everything. This time r2modman wanted me to put this launch code in Valheim:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp,version=n,b" "/home/annabelle/.config/r2modmanPlus-local/Valheim/linux_wrapper.sh" %command%

Well having this launch code here makes it so I cannot access devcommands. Today I tried switching r2modmand to Proton (previously the option defaulted to having the programme pick). I also switched the launch option to -console and asked Steam to run via Proton. In my mind that should work. Now I am getting an error which is not surprising.

An unhandled error occured. Error invoking remote method 'node:fs:readFile': Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/me/steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/892970/pfx/user.reg.

So how do I get r2modman to run with Steam without having that launch code? I just want it running the way it was before I did the reinstall. And just to be clear I was playing all my games through Linux Mint.

I play a lot of Identity V and until now you just ran the game installation from Lutris without any issue. Now it requires you to boot the game from their launcher called Loading Bay. I can install loading bay through Lutris but as soon as it starts it just turns black and asks to force quit. Is there anyway to get the launcher to work or am I cooked?

For context I'm using Goverlay, and it generated that launch option in the Optiscaler section.

While it's not a massive issue, it's just annoying that it's not fully exiting on Steams side.

The launch option works for actually launching gamemode + optiscaler and etc

.

Launch options:

/home/gordoxgrey/fgmod/fgmod -- env gamemoderun %command% PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 %command%

.

I'm thinking about switching from windows 11 to CachyOS but i'm worried about the performance loss since my specs are not that good:

Ryzen 7 5700x
16gb RAM

RTX 3050 8gb

I heard the dx12 fix is coming and some people said that games are smoother on Linux. I curently don't play many dx12 games just RE4 remake and The witcher, but i am looking forward to playing Crimsom Desert. Is it worth it to switch rn or should i wait some more?

So I’m planning to switch to Linux after a absolute nightmare experience with windows on a brand new laptop that windows is hell bent on making me miserable but I won’t go into that too much.

I manly play games but from what I can gather every game I play is supported on Linux via steam according to proton.db so I decided I’m just done with windows after its countless headaches over the last couple years (bad updates and bad updates that just force install themselves even after I say no)

The main games I play are a lot of smaller lighter Indy titles and Overwatch and counter strike, I went through the majority of the games I want to play and everyone has been rated gold or platinum on protondb and the reviews show they work out the box or require minimal tweaks to work without issues so I’m pretty set on switching over to Linux.

The big thing is I’m not sure what distro I should use, I’m torn between nobara or bazzite but I’m not super familiar with Linux so I’m still in my research phase.

My specs are as followed. My laptop is a and ryzen 7 ai 350 with a Radeon 860m (that’s used for light gaming on Indy titles and some basic web browsing things, I mainly take it with me when I have to go places for work) it’s a Lenovo yoga 7 if that matters. 1tb ssd and 16gb lpddr5x ram.

My desktop that I also want to switch over has an Intel i5 12400f and a RTX 4060 with 16gb of 5600mhz ddr5 ram and a 1tb ssd.

Any suggestions any one can offer would be greatly appreciated. I’m looking for it to mainly be used for gaming. I plan to play the desktop for Overwatch and cs with a keyboard and mouse and use the desktop with a Xbox controller.

Play the Demo

Hi everyone! I’m a solo dev working on a passion project called Vena. It started as a small idea for a game jam (which it actually won!), and I’ve been polishing it into a full release ever since.

The game is a weird but satisfying mix of Factorio-style automation and roguelike deckbuilding. You place hexagonal tiles to build resource networks that feed a central Nexus, but you have to draft your "factory parts" using a dice-rolling shop system between rounds.

I’m really trying to nail that "flow state" feeling where everything just clicks. I’ve just released a demo on Steam and would love to hear what you think about the balance.

I built Dealve, a terminal UI app that lets you browse game deals across Steam, GOG, Humble Bundle, Epic Games and more, all from your terminal, no browser needed.

It runs natively on Linux (also macOS and Windows), written in Rust with zero system dependencies beyond a terminal.

Features:

• Browse current deals from 20+ stores
• Search for the most popular games, the cheapest games, or other
• Price history charts right in the terminal
• Data comes from IsThereAnyDeal (free API key, takes 30 seconds)

Install:

cargo install dealve-tui

Then just type dealve.

⭐ GitHub: https://github.com/kurama/dealve-tui

If you're on a tiling WM setup and want to check deals without opening a browser, this might be for you. Feedback and contributions welcome!!! :D
