Hi, English is not my first language. I’ve been trying to download some mods (Wicked Wims so I can see my people Mollie and Sandler make love, tragic endings mod (arson, kidnapping, beating to death) and egg laying mod for my satisfaction). Small problem: When I downloaded the mods, they went into fuck all folders. Wicked in the proton folder, tragic endings in the WINE folder, and eggs in the axon folder. I’m scared to even touch the WINE folder because I’ve had WINE running steady as an emulator for about 4 days and I’m not willing to risk that. I tried following the path someone suggested, but it required me inputing a bunch of numbers which brings me to another problem, my 4. When I press 4, it thinks I’m pressing 5. But when I press 5, it thinks I’m pressing 3, when I press 2 it thinks I’m ticking 7, when I press 9 it thinks I’m pressing 8. So numbers are a complete no-go I guess. Someone recommended to try ACK piggybacking my happy ass back to the kernel, but all it did was hack my data. I did a biometrics assessment, coupled with a countermeasure and a fragment overlap assessment, but I believe it hijacked my domain. I have been in the process of trying to get Kubuntu to run smoothly but my luck is running dry. I requested access to finger, but it asked for password authentication protocol but I ain’t got time for that!! It estimated a 7 hour turnaround, but I had some phishing to do. I think my computer is fucked. Not sure if I’m being watched from my webcam, sometimes my mouse moves without my hand touching it, only my arm. I’ve been analyzing my cookies and it’s only making things worse. I think I need a new computer. What do I do

How do I get the GOG version of Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition working through Heroic Launcher on Bazzite? Game won’t launch. Using latest Flatpak install. Any workarounds or tweaks needed?

As far as I'm aware, it should work, but it doesn't. When I press the 'Play' button in Steam, it turns blue for maybe a second, and then turns back to 'Play'. I have Steam Play enabled in the settings, so it's not that. I also tried launching OMORI separately, in Bottles. In that case, the game window appears, but it's entirely black and doesn't seem to be doing anything (for example I hear no music).

Btw, I'm on Fedora 42 (I pasted system info below), and I have NVidia drivers and Vulkan installed. Here I have the Steam log and the WINE log from Bottles.

This is the log from the Steam console:

Here are the logs that are printed by WINE when running the game in Bottles: https://pastebin.com/0BCHxsEx

If someone will help me solve this I will be extremely thankful; I've been wanting to play it for so long, and I haven't seen anyone on the internet having this same issue, weirdly enough. ProtonDB actually says that it works well on Linux, so this really startled me.

If you need more info, please tell me, and thanks in advance :D

Hello

I used linux before, I switched to windows for gaming. Now im back on linux using mint cinnamon.

I didn't have any issues with games about 2 months ago when I used it once but now I do? What could I be doing wrong? Mostly noticable in CS2. Everything else is still playable. went from getting 100 fps with high preset to low preset 60 fps.

Help!!!

Lost Ark apparently got for Linux one or two weeks ago and alot of people are able to play according to protondb.
But a few seconds after I enter character select I get a message saying that EAC is offline. I've tried proton-em, -ge and experimental but it's the same for all.

I've had the same problem Armored Core 6 (also EAC), where the multiplayer was working out of the box for others except me.

Does anyone have any idea what I'm missing here?

Tutorial focused on Bottles, but works with Heroic, Lutris..

📦 Step 1: Install the required Flatpaks

Install these from Flathub: bottles, protonplus, mangohud, flatseal

flatpak install flathub com.usebottles.bottles \ com.vysp3r.ProtonPlus \ org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud \ com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

🔐 Step 2: Configure Flatseal permissions for Bottles

Open Flatseal, select Bottles, and add the following folder access:

~/Games:ro or xdg-download → The download folder is often useful for installing small .exe files that you download, such as a Windows installer or dependency package...

xdg-config/MangoHud → to load your MangoHUD config

/mnt or /run/media → to access other drives

Optional but useful: allow access any custom paths you use.

🍷 Step 3: Install runners in Bottles

Go to Bottles → Preferences → Runners, and install:

Krone4k (great for compatibility)

Wine (Vanilla)

Wine-TKG

ProtonGE latest

🎮 Step 4: Create Bottles

You can:

Create one Bottle per game (recommended for beginners)

Or, if you’re experienced, group games by engine/store:

A Bottle for Unity Engine games

Another for GOG games

One for Epic Games

Each Bottle can have its own custom environment.

🧩 Step 5: Install dependencies (vcrun, dxvk, etc.)

modern games generally need: vcrun2015 vcrun2017 vcrun2019 vcrun2022 You can install them via Bottles' built-in dependency manager or manually downloading the .exe from the internet (MS website)

⚙️ Step 6: Useful ProtonGE/Wine environment variables

list of variables that I usually need:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1

PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1

ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1

WAYLANDDRV_PRIMARY_MONITOR=DP-1 # check with gdctl show

DISPLAY= # need to be unset for WaylandDriver (":0" for Xwayland)

PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1

PROTON_USE_WOW64=1

MANGOHUD=1

WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1

WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_STRENGTH=2

(comment if you use other useful ones too)

🧪 Works with: Bottles, Lutris, Heroic

For me, Bottles is the easiest way to manage Wine versions via Flatpak, although other methods exist, you can also manually configure Lutris or Heroic Flatpak's to use the same prefix setup and environment variables, though this requires more manual setup.

✅ The best part: you don't need to modify your system, add .rpm repositories, or install anything outside the Flatpak sandbox. This helps maintain system stability and keeps your environment isolated.

If something breaks, just delete the Bottle (prefix) (enter bottles / menu / delete bottles) — usually found in:

~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles

Or wherever you've configured a custom directory for Bottles.

I've been using it like this for my YouTube channel(https://www.youtube.com/@linuxbenchmark9036) and it's been working well.

After i installed the drivers this keeps happening. Most of the images (and in-game too) gets bugged. Any help? Also i don't know what to add to the tags

For 5-6 years I've been experimenting every couple of months with random Linux distributions on my PC to find a better workspace for school or play with a new UI that comes with less bloat. (Tried a manual arch setup, endeavor, Ubuntu, fedora) For the last few years I've settled on having Fedora on my laptop and settling for windows being fine enough for school and relatively necessary for gaming.

Recently though with the win10 support stuff I've seen a lot of people saying they were able to switch to Linux for a daily drive even with gaming, and with how much windows and Microsoft have been frustrating me lately it feels like it is time to try again. My question is what do people reccomend, how essential is it to go with something gaming centric like Nobara, Bazzite, Cathy, etc.

Up to a couple of days ago, the NVidia 575 Driver on my laptop (ASUS TUF A15 on FedoraOS newest version) ran perfectly for gaming. Yesterday after updates, I noticed a message from my nvidia system monitor app which checks gpu utilization and temps, that told me my drivers weren't installed. I ran the nvidia-smi command on my terminal to see that is true, my driver is no longer installed. Did a new update change any functionality with NVidia UNIX drivers? Or could this have been something else, and I just need to reinstall manually again? Maybe I just need to update the drivers? Let me know any ways i can find the reason why they were uninstalled, I'll also answer any other questions if i know how. Thank you for your help guys.

Specs:

Nvidia 4060 Laptop GPU

AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS

16 GB DDR5 RAM

Here's what my system monitor app and the terminal told me:

nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA
driver is installed and running.

What is meant with "console-like experience": Turning on the controller turns on the PC with Steam Big Picture mode and possibly the game running. This was tested on Arch Linux with an Intel i7-7700k and Nvidia GTX1080 on an up-to-date system using Wayland.

Requisites:

• A TV or Monitor that listens to Input and automatically turns itself on (virtually all PC monitors support this. With TVs, only newer generations).
• A controller dongle that supports wakeup from suspend
• Functioning suspend on the system

I will not go into TVs and configuring suspend functionality. Supporting TVs can be easily researched and configuring suspend is already sufficiently documented, for example in the arch wiki.

Note: It's possible that your onboard Bluetooth device supports wake up from suspend. However, this is not widely supported, which is why I will only look at dongles. In addition, with PCIe network cards that combine Wifi and Bluetooth, this will most likely not work.

Firmware settings

Before we look at dongles, we need to make sure that USB devices get power in a suspended system - we need to disable ERP (Energy-Related Products). For me, this was under APM (Advanced Power Management) -> ErP Ready. Set to disabled. Note: it's possible that the settings is called something like "allow USB devices to wake up" on your firmware settings.

You can test it by making sure the control LED is blinking on the dongle during a suspended state.

Dongle

This is the crucial part; not every dongle can wake the system from a suspended state. From my own testing I found:

Dongles that support it:

• Microsoft Xbox One Wireless Adapter
• Steam controller dongle

Dongles that don't support it:

• 8bitdo USB Wireless Adapter (older, non-Switch 2 variant)

Determining if dongle supports wakeup

To find out whether your dongle supports it, follow these steps. Example is using an XBOX adapter. List USB devices:

lsusb -tv

Your output will look something like this (I omitted a large part of the output to keep it brief).

/: Bus 001.Port 001: Dev 001, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/16p, 480M ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub |__ Port 009: Dev 007, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=xone-dongle, 480M ID 045e:02e6 Microsoft Corp. Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows /: Bus 002.Port 001: Dev 001, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/10p, 5000M ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub /: Bus 003.Port 001: Dev 001, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/2p, 480M ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub /: Bus 004.Port 001: Dev 001, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/2p, 10000M ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

Notice the BUS number and the Port number of the device (Microsoft Corp. Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows). Next, we will find out whether wake up is supported. In the next command, replace the numbers 1-9 with your Bus and Port number.

ls /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9/power/ | grep wakeup

If you find that the output contains a line with the word wakeup, the dongle will work. Next, we will enable it to wake up the system. Again, replace 1-9 with your Bus and Port number.

echo enabled | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9/power/wakeup

That's it, your controller will now be able to wake the system up from a suspended state by turning the controller on. For XBOX adapters to work properly, we will need to install the xone drivers from the AUR:

xone-dkms xone-dongle-firmware

Restart the PC, pair the controller and make sure it works. Now you can test it by suspending the system and waking it up by turning on the controller.

To Gamescope or not to Gamescope

I'd split this part into either running Steam through Gamescope or just using Big Picture Mode in your DE of choice.

Your mileage may vary here. For example, in my setup (Intel CPU & Nvidia GPU), Steam running through Gamescope would crash after waking up from sleep. If you have an AMD system, please let me know in the comments how that works out for you.

Using Gamescope

First, install gamescope

sudo pacman -S gamescope

Create a new desktop entry in your Display Manager. For SDDM, you will need to create the file

/usr/share/wayland-sessions/steam-big-picture.desktop

With the following content. -console gives you access to the Steam console, with which you can exit out of the Gamescope session by typing in "quit".

[Desktop Entry] Name=Steam Big Picture Mode Comment=Start Steam in Big Picture Mode Exec=/usr/bin/gamescope -e -- /usr/bin/steam -tenfoot -console Type=Application

This pairs very nicely with selecting a separate User (e.g. user steamos) to be automatically logged in by the Display Manager (On KDE: Login Screen -> Behavior -> Automatically log in as user steamos with session Steam Big Picture Mode).

Using your Desktop Environment and Steam in Big Picture Mode

This is what I had to settle with because of the aforementioned issues. There's not much to be done here, just launch Steam and enter Big Picture Mode. The system can be suspended by selecting "suspend" in the Steam overlay, just like in gamescope.

General Desktop Environment settings

For convenience. In your DE, make sure that the screen is not locked after a certain amount of time or after waking from sleep. For KDE, you will find the settings under Screen Locking. Select "never" for "Lock screen automatically" and remove the tick from "Lock after waking from sleep". Also, add Steam to autostart. Depending on your setup, you might benefit from your Display Manager logging a user in automatically into the DE of your choice.

The system will suspend and resume flawlessly into Big Picture Mode. I could even suspend a game and return to it (like on the Steamdeck). Though, Steam crashed on the ~4th cycle of doing so. Again, I'm not sure if this a problem specifically with Nvidia. If you have made a different experience, please let me know.

That's it. Please add your experiences in the comments.

Hi, I'm running Lotro via Bottles (it looks nicer and runs smoother than the Steam version). So that's good. Yesterday I heard about LOTRO Plugins Compendium and there's one for Linux so I downloaded it, extracted it and fired it up. Installed 3 plugins.

The problem: The game doesn't see the plugins. I've tried moving the Compendium to different locations in my Games directory but it seems no matter where I put it, the game can't find them.

Smaller problem that I can likely live with but it's annoying: I can launch the compendium via Start Menu but it's a mess. I have to type in plugins and choose one until one works. I've tried right-clicking on the taskbar icon to pin it there, but Pin to Panel doesn't show as an option. Can I get rid of the .jar and .zip files at the bottom there?

I'm on Linux Mint Cinnamon. Made the switch almost a month ago, so I'm no expert by any means.

I build my first PC on Sunday. I have a 7700X and. 9060 XT. I have update firmware, Kernel to 6.15 through Mainline, and update mesa. Is there something that I am missing? I have tried to boot up Sea of Thieves, but I can’t get any more than 1 framer per second. Is there a chance that it’s an issue with Steam? Any help on this would be appreciated.
