Hey, my STEAM on ubuntu 25.04 (installed from package steam-installer) just stopped launching proton games. I have opened steam via console, and i can see proton will launch game exe, but after like 1-2 minutes it will just end it.

I thought it is my problem only, but then I have found this https://askubuntu.com/questions/1553033/ubuntu-update-25-04-seems-to-have-broken-steam

Below is the list of packages that has been upgraded (after 2025-07-15 when it was still working)

I see kernel there so i have tried to switch to older one, but this is not source of problem.

Guys, recently I start to use linux as my main system for everything (work and games), but some games are making me switch sometimes to windows just to play it (at all or just better). One of the games that are making me switch to windows, surprisingly is CS2 (even tough it has a native build). It runs poorly on wayland even with the trick on c2.sh, while on windows it runs flawlessly.

Since I am using GNOME 48, it does not have a x11 session to make a try to test if it runs better, so I was wondering if I install KDE alongside GNOME is a bad idea. I am planning to keep different users for each DE.

NOTE: I am using Fedora 42 Gnome 48

for some reason some things disappear every now and then when using vulkan.

updating and using Nvidia drivers fixed it but results in some artifacts but that's fine.

trying to play rimworld which Is a native linux game, but while it actually runs fine, some in-game objects don't get rendered (they're invisible).

can I force the game to use opengl or directx instead of vulkan to render? I'd played it earlier and everything rendered fine though some visual glitches and artifacts happened, which I prefer over having invisible objects.

Hi! I’ve spent the last three good hours trying to nod BG3 with lampray and it’s been… a time. As far as I can tell I’ve got the game configurations correct so that’s not the issue, but looking in the log I keep receiving a Lamp 10 error. The mods I’m trying to install are: BG3MM, AdvancedTTSpells and TrialsOfTavReloaded. If anyone has anything else I could try to get this to work that’d be really useful.

Thanks!

Didnt expect that Cpu 9950x Gpu 9070xt Cachyos

I have 114 jrpgs in my library. I admit i didnt fully test each one, i did 5-20 mins test for each and they all played fine. No stutter no bugs no special tinkering. Pretty amazed honestly how far linux has came. For jrpg, linux is perfect

I wish i can export my steam games so this post has more weight lol

Hey all! I had Pillars of Eternity installed on my steam deck, and everything's good there. I then also installed it on my desktop Linux PC (OS: Universal Blue variant Aurora, Steam is a flatpak app). I've noticed that none of the cloud saves are syncing from the steam deck to the desktop, even though I can find the files when I navigate to store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage.

When I searched for this issue online, it seems like there's issues with cloud save files syncing between windows and Mac or windows and Linux, but i couldn't find any solutions for cloud saves not syncing between Linux and Linux. Appreciate any help!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwT-VocQuKc

thx

Hey guys,

With my new computer, I decided I want to use linux for the first time. I've heard that non-amd cards need a little bit of extra setup so I wanted to ask what I will need to do while I wait for my parts to come.

I'm planning on using mint just so I have something easy for my first time and the GPU I'm going to use is an intel b580.

for some reason when running the game it just crashes my pc after a few minutes of gameplay, when i checked how much ram its eating it was at 6.3/7.8 then eventually just fps drops to 3 fps then eventually crashing my pc, when i tab out and have zenless run in the backround while i run firefox linux terminates the program because its eating so much ram, ive heard from another user they are experiencing the same issue but that was almost a year ago, asking if the issue has been fixed because id love to run all my windows games on linux

bit more information i cant download massive files due to limited internet on my area, i get 12 gigabytes per day, all my games are on my ntfs-3g partition
SPECS
RX 580 2048 SP (ok gpu for now)
R5 2600X
8 GB of ram

what sucks to think about is that, i can run star rail on the backround (auto farm on) while simultaneously having chrome in the backround and discord WHILE playing zenless, although id admit i get a few stutters here and there, atleast it dosent full on crashes my pc

is there a fix for this or do i need more ram, and if i do would 16 gigabytes suffice?
i asked the EndeavorOS reddit and one user said i need more ram, asking here just to get a second opinion so that if a fix DO exist i wont have to spend 80 on 2x 8 GB of ram

I have installed Star wars battlefront II 2017 on heroic game launcher through the ea app however the performance is terrible (sub 10 frames) no matter the graphic settings or proton versions I use. On windows the game would average 60-70fps on high settings.

Here are my specs

Ram: 16gb

CPU: 11th Gen Intel Core i7-11370H u/3.30Gz x 8

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU

OS: POP!_OS 22.04 LTS

Any help is appreciated

Im using the: DXIL_SPIRV_CONFIG=wmma_rdna3_workaround PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 game-performance %command% to enable fsr4 in Cyberpunk. Actually works haha and gives me the fsr4 option to select. Looks awesome. Mt question is with games that don't have native fsr 4 support, am I doing this same thing but selecting fsr 3.1? From what I understand the Fsr4 upgrade command switches the DLL for you?

Hi, I recently got 5060ti and paired it with Xeon 2678v3 (Haswell, 4th intel generation). I know GPU isn’t that crazy powerful, but even in cyberpunk at 1440p I’m fully CPU bottlenecked. I heard NTSync should help in those cases. I can try setting resolution to 720p to simulate more powerful GPU and want to test some games. Please share them and I will make a video about it. I will select 3 games excluding Cyberpunk which I will test regardless.

Hey everyone, what's up?

I've always used Windows for gaming, but I decided to make the complete switch to Linux Mint to see how it performs with the latest games in 2025. To document the experience, I recorded a video where I put the system to the test with a benchmark of the highly anticipated Black Myth: Wukong.

My main goal is to show the viability of Linux for a regular gamer. And I can say with complete certainty: I didn't need to use a single line of terminal for anything. All the installations for Steam, MangoHud, CoolerControl, and other monitoring tools were done through the Linux Mint app store via Flatpak, working perfectly and without errors.

Having decided to leave Windows behind for my gaming setup...

Processing img xlmb6n3h5udf1...

The ease of the experience was immediate: I chose to install the official NVIDIA video driver, version 550, which was already available in the Linux Mint graphical driver manager.

Processing img w8qy7y4o5udf1...

The system automatically recognized my ASUS VG279QR 165Hz monitor, and to my surprise, the NVIDIA settings application also recognized and activated G-Sync compatibility without any issues.

Processing img 96cgsuys5udf1...

The test was done on a machine with an RTX 2060 Super, and the results were surprising.

The shader compilation was super fast, taking only 31 seconds. During the tests, I used CoolerControl to monitor the fans and Mission Center to check the system on the second monitor.

Processing img d1qsil6p9udf1...

The graphics settings used were the "High" preset, with the only change being the shadow quality set to "Medium", following the game's own recommendation for a better balance between visuals and performance.

Processing img 0efm18kbaudf1...

With these settings, I got the following results comparing the upscaling technologies in Full HD:

• With DLSS (NVIDIA):
  • Minimum: 11 FPS
  • Maximum: 54 FPS
  • Average: 45 FPS

Processing img c5qc6a95cudf1...

With FSR + Frame Generation (AMD):

• Minimum: 37 FPS
• Maximum: 85 FPS
• Average: 72 FPS

Processing img 9oeyglzacudf1...

It's incredible! Even with the excellent graphical quality (High preset with the shadow adjustment), the AMD technology in conjunction with Linux managed to get an impressive performance gain, giving my card even more life.

In the video, I show all the details of this process, including choosing FSR and DLSS from the in-game menu, and the step-by-step of how everything was configured in a simple and intuitive way.

If you're thinking about transitioning from Windows to Linux for gaming, or want to know what the current state of gaming is in 2025, this content was made for you.

Benchmark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nof_MOirPNw

Tools Used and Resources:

• Linux Mint:https://linuxmint.com/
• Mission Center:https://missioncenter.io/
• CoolerControl:https://docs.coolercontrol.org/
• Flatpak:https://flatpak.org/
• MangoHud:https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud
• Official NVIDIA G-SYNC Monitor List:https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/g-sync-monitors/specs/

Next Step: Advanced Optimization

Now that I've achieved great performance without needing the terminal, I wanted to ask for your help. I recently read about tools like GameMode, Tuned, Auto-cpufreq, Proton-GE, among others.

For those who already have good performance, is it worth diving into the world of the terminal to install and configure these tools? Which ones do you consider most relevant to optimize my Linux Mint performance even more?

Thanks for the ongoing feedback!
