In bottles, I had issues where the client would freeze during login using the Ge-Proton 10 runner. I found a workaround by turning off use browser hardware accelerator.

Within the bottle directory locate: drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Battle.net/Battle.net.config

open the config, locate and change: "HardwareAcceleration": "false"

Client and game works like a charm now. Just leaving this here just in case someone else is having the same issue as I couldn't find any post about this issue

All signs are pointing to the fact that gaming on Linux is a viable and possibly better alternative to Windows as far as gaming goes, in terms of performance, general bloat, and not to mention privacy. Windows has become a rubbish operating system and users are waking up to that fact. But the fact remains that even though Proton is becoming better and better every day and most games run perfectly fine on the Linux platform, it's still a compatibility layer, anti-cheat is still an issue, and getting all studios and developers on board to make the shift is going to be difficult in the long run as long as the business opportunity for those companies are still greater when Windows is the native platform.

Now, Microsoft being the multi billion dollar corporate money grabbers they are, are not going to sit idly by as a large part of their product demographic switches to a different platform. If Linux get's anywhere from 10 to 20 percent market share, they are going to have to come up with a "solution". And I think that will be a gaming edition of Windows, especially now that they're losing out on the console market as well.

So, they will probably use a debloated edition of Windows like the IoT edition, and customise it along the lines of the famous marketing line, "By gamers, for gamers". No bloat, reduced (but certainly not eliminated) telemetry, gaming related ads, etc. If they can compete with Linux on performance, they'll probably be successful in maintaining market share.

What do you all think?

So I am increasingly thinking of taking the plunge into Linux gaming. My current gaming PC is has windows installed on one drive and my games all installed on other drives.

If I format my windows drive to set up Linux, would all the game files on the other drive need to be redownloaded from steam to be the Linux compatible version? I am assuming that would be the case.

So I tried a few game on linux, from lightweight to game that req higher spec. They both have a same problem - Lag spike. At first, I tried Wuthering Wave - kinda like Genshin, so its req some specs and it happened, I though thats bc my laptop is not strong enough, but later on, I tried Minecraft, Balatro, etc, games that should be run fine on my laptop and they all have the same problem I do a few research but none of these help. Please help me get rid of this

My setup: - Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 - i5-1145G7 - 32Gb RAM - Fedora Linux Workstation 42 (GNOME + NiriWM) - Steam installed through FlatPak - Proton-GE installed through official repo (not through Flatpak) - Minecraft: Minecraft launcher on Flatpak I hope that help

I’m at my wit’s end. I’ve got a 4090, Zorin OS, and I'm using PrismLauncher with modded Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge). This setup used to fly. Now I’m getting 12 FPS. TWELVE. I’ve spent hours trying to fix it. Here's what I’ve done so far:

✅ Running Prism via AppImage (flatpak is completely removed)

✅ Cleaned all Prism folders (~/.local/share, ~/.config, etc.)

✅ Using Zulu 17 Java

✅ Confirmed the game is using my 4090, not the iGPU (nvidia-smi shows Java using 1.8GB VRAM)

✅ Installed vulkan-tools — Vulkan is working, and driver is NVIDIA 575.64.03

✅ System has 64GB RAM, and I’ve tested both 4GB and 8GB JVM allocations

✅ Shaders are OFF, render distance is low, and FPS still tank

Mods are mostly light, some worldgen, nothing that should wreck performance. Here’s what’s killing me:

🔹 This exact same modpack used to run buttery smooth on this same machine.

🔹 Now I get 12–20 FPS max.

🔹 My friends running the same pack on Windows have zero issues.

🔹 I’ve tweaked settings throughout the year, and I’m starting to think I broke something deeper system-wide.

So now I’m stuck. I don’t know if this is:

A PrismLauncher issue?

A Vulkan/Mesa/NVIDIA driver problem?

A Zorin OS config quirk

A Java tuning bug?

any ideas would be greatly appreciated

As of today, it's officially been a year since I swapped nearly full time to the penguin on my main computer. First starting on my steam deck with SteamOS, then to Mint on my main rig, then moving over to PoPOS, and finding my way to arch though manjaro and Cachy, and eventually landing on vanilla arch (btw) where I am now. What a crazy journey it's been so far and I can thank all of you kind folk for helping someone like me who was in entirely over their head navigate this often very confusing path to get where I am now, a very proud and happy Linux user! Here's to many years to come, thank you everyone here who's helped me!

Hello, on Windows I could use Streamdeck el gato program with the phone through its app. My question is, is there any way to do that on Linux? PD:Sorry, my English is basic and I forgot that putting the brand of the stream deck would pass it to the cat lol.

Just a little thought I had. A lot of windows games stutter and perform worse for me than they do on Linux(all Amd system), even though my windows install is clean. So is it really that windows as an OS hogs more system resources, or is it that Vulkan is just much more efficient than directx? Since proton translates games from directx to vulkan
