When playing CS2 on linux, if I use tab (seeing info/leaderboard) or switch player too often during observation the frames drop to 20s (average fos normally is 110, which is lower than windows but enough), but then goes up again if I press and hold tab/press esc(which also shows leaderboard).

Is this a new bug or a known one?

Edit:

Distro : Endeavour Os

CPU: R7 4800H

GPU:

Igpu: Amd Radeon

Dgpu: RTX 3060 laptop 6GB

Ram: 16GB

This screen comes out in several games in specific parts, sometimes in cinematics, sometimes just running the game, does anyone know why it is and how to fix it?

So if I install a Linux distro as dual boot, is there any way to share a game directory with Windows? Say Helldivers 2 on steam, can I keep it in a place that both Linux and windows can use so I don't have to double my storage utilization per game? How does that work?

I'm assuming if it isn't a native Linux game the game files are all the same and are just translated on the fly with Proton or how does that work from a file standpoint? Does proton translate everything and save it into files or only translate as the game is running?

I just bought star wars battlefront 2 on sale and i have been trying to play it but it never starts. i am forcing proton 9.0-4 other versions don't start at all but on this one it brings up the menu to install the ea app. when i try to install it it says its installing then the progress bar fills and the window closes. then the game doesn't launch. when i was using proton hotfix it would have the window open and saying starting game with the ea app logo and loading bar but it would then close and the ea app would be in they system tray. when opening the ea app from the system tray it would have a banner at the top saying that features are disabled because ea app started from another program. I play titanfall 2 regularly and have never had this issue. when the ea app was starting from battlefront it also didn't show that titanfall 2 was installed. what should i do? should i set a custom path for the ea app to install? and if i do what path should that be? i am running on arch linux. if i left out any information that would be helpful please let me know.

I have a dual-booted Legion Go with Windows and Bazzite. So I partitioned my 1TB SSD into three parts - two 150GB partitions (one for Windows OS and one for Bazzite) and the remaining 630ish GB for games that can be shared between both OS. So, I ran the extremely long fstab command and successfully mounted the NTFS partition in Linux. I then added it as a drive in Steam and installed a game to test if the NTFS partition works across both operating systems, and it did. Then I downloaded the NonSteamLaunchers plugin and downloaded the Rockstar Games Launcher, but when I try to install GTA, this ugly directory pops up with no NTFS partition in sight. How do I fix it so that the NTFS partition can be recognized by not just Rockstar but also other NonSteamLaunchers (because the same ugly directory pops up for Epic Games). I'm not sure what's wrong because the partition seems to be mounted correctly, as it shows up in Steam.

Just asking—what can I use to run Steam games on Linux?
I mainly play Asphalt Legends Unite, and I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 5 (i5, 8GB RAM). I'm also wondering if I can run Roblox and Minecraft on Linux.

I'm on arch linux and have a Dualschock 4, and everything is flawless, except Ive recently insatlled NFS Rivals and it doesnt have an option to disable vibration, Ive searched online and tried a dll patch that didnt work and I came to the conclusion that the only way to disable it is to disable it completely in the system, and my question is, is there any way to do that?

The big topic of discussion lately is Fedora's proposal to drop 32-bit libraries (that will, frankly, almost certainly be rejected unfortunately). And the big worry is that this would break games. And this is a well-founded worry because it would break games, or at least it would break Steam.

But this is also a mostly solved problem, and the remainder is, while almost certainly unintentionally, Valve's fault. Let me explain.

Dropping 32-bit packages/libraries is different from dropping support for 32-bit code entirely (like Apple did). If Fedora were to adapt this proposal, 32-bit software would still work... if it brings its own libraries.

And that sounds difficult... except everyone already does this. Steam includes the Linux Runtime, a copy of all libraries games would need. Flatpak also exists for those who prefer it. So, native Linux games (the few that still exist) are unaffected by this proposal.

Well, what about Wine/Proton? They are also unaffected! Wine's new WoW64 mode allows running 32-bit Windows software without any 32-bit system libraries.

So, what exactly does this proposal break?

The big one most people care about is the Steam client itself. For some reason, it is still 32-bit-only (on Linux). That's one major blocker for dropping 32-bit support (and saving countless volunteer hours).

Why hasn't Steam been ported to 64-bit? Does Valve still think it's 2007? Who knows! They have ported it to 64-bit before, so it's clearly not a major technical limitation.

And to be clear, this isn't the only important thing dropping 32-bit support would break. But what makes it unique is that it is completely out of everyone's control. Other pieces of broken software can be fixed, or containerized, or rewritten. But nobody but Valve can port Steam.

So, we exist in this terrible situation. Maintainers understandably want to drop 32-bit support to save valuable volunteer time and resources. But that would break Steam, so any proposal to do so inevitably stalls. And there is nothing anyone (but Valve) can do about it.

That kind of sucks.

My strong opinion is that steam as 32bit on linux was wrong already from the very begining in 2012/2013.

At least then Valve had some excuse that they did not know better. The thing is that now they do have the "right" solution already there. It is the "compatibility" where Proton exists. Not only Proton but other runtimes like linux runtimes and luxtorpedas and even game engines runtimes can be there.

So what is the point of having the 32bit runtime in the client? The answer is very simple. There is no point at all. It is just plain stupid. It solves nothing and only creates problem. Do you remember Linus Sebastian nuking his desktop? Yes it was the 32bit dependencies that broke. I personally on Arch Linux BTW use steam-native instead of steam for many years now and for some old games that need some old runtime I simply go and force a compatibility. So compatibility as optional is the way to go for the foreseeable future (in the distant future emulation will be the solution like we do now with 16bit games).

The right solution is already in place by Valve and we just wait since forever for valve to get rid of the problem and make the Steam client 64bit as it should be. On Mac they did the right thing because they where forced by Apple. On linux there is no one to force them but they still must do the right thing.

Hey all! I don't know how many people need this, but in Source Engine games, when joining servers that use custom textures, a lot of maps will have missing textures due to Linux case sensitivity. This has been an issue since I think around December of 2024. I haven't really seen anyone talk about it around here, but I figured I'd post the fix here in case anyone needs it.

Thats just reality. I'm actually shocked to see how the community responded to this whole "Fedora (Maybe) dropping 32bit support" thing.

1. The first thing to consider is it takes man hours to test and curate everything that goes into a distro. Building and supporting a distro is not free, if they can shed the tech debt without a big negative Impact then they absolutely should.

2. No, such a shift would not magically break all your games and end the world.

   People seem to have not learned that proton isn't the only option when running games in a separate environment.

   Valve was very aware that Linux's march forward had already broken games before which is why you can run your game in different "Linux runtimes" so your games don't reply on libs in your system.

   Seriously go test them. Everyone told me Civ V was broken on Linux but it isn't if you use the Linux runtime option in the settings.

3. People have also warned others about using one man show distros for THIS VERY REASON. They are fragile and lag the man power needed to deal with change or large tasks.

   Infact the Bazzite dev pointing out that its to much work for him to deal with grabbing and testing all the 32b libs should make it clear why Fedora wants to drop them in the first place. Its a bit insane to get mad that Fedora isn't doing free work for an unaffiliated project.

4. Steam isn't going to magically disappear, 64b Steam is already on the horizon simply as a matter of fact. How soon is upto Valve but its not going to magically be unusable as you can still grab what you need for Steam.

This isn't meant to jab at anybody, its just reality and if Bazzite fell theres more than enough distros out there to choose from.

If you are capable and have the time then offer your help to the Bazzite dev, just don't bug Fedora about another distro.

Hi, how are you all doing? I was thinking of buying the Logitech G Pro X TKL or the Razer Huntsman v3 TKL Pro, and I need to know how they support Linux. I know you can control the rapid trigger, SOCD, analog, etc. options to a certain extent, but I'd like to know which of the two has better Linux support.

The title says it, basically. I want to assemble a new gaming PC. Mini-ITX base and watercooled with a custom loop. But it has been a while that I was considering hardware compatibility on Linux and I am pretty sure a lot has changed in the 15 years since then. And please don't say "everything works" - There are just some products that are better on Linux than others, some others are easier, some more are better documented, some allow firmware updates in Linux which others don't, some have native Linux apps while others don't.. So which brands do you recommend concerning:
- CPU
- Graphics card (I realize AMD seems to be better supported, Nvidia has the more performant chips though, so how dire is the situation for current gen graphics gards really? And does the manufacturer matter in any way?)
- Mainboard (drivers would be the big point here I guess)
- Drives
also I would be happy for a tip about which brand to for concerning pump and fan control
I know it is quite a broad topic, but throw in your thoughts, even if it just covers a small part of it. Thanks a bunch :)
