Hi
I'm dual booting Fedora 40 and Windows. My game drive is btrfs and is mounted to Windows with winbtrfs
Whenever I launch a game in Windows and then attempt to launch it in Fedora, I get a missing file privileges error so I have to chown -r the entire steamapps/temp folder
Is there a way to avoid Windows messing up the permissions so I don't have to do that everytime I switch between the two OSes?

Hi, I'm new to Linux, and I've been very interested in using it as my main OS.

I have a situation, and it's that I want to be able to play native Windows video games on Linux. I know there are methods; Wine, Lutris, Proton. So far I've used all three, and I've had no luck with any of them. The games run, but the problem lies in DirectX. As I understand it, Wine and Lutris, what they do is use DVKX to translate from DirectX to Vulkan, right? Something like that. But it turns out that my GPU, an EVGA GT 740 sc (1GB GDDR5), only goes up to Nvidia drivers 470, and those drivers (as well as my GPU) have a very old version of Vulkan, I think it's version 1.2.175 and when I tested with Lutris, the oldest version of Vulkan I saw in the advanced options was approximately 1.2.9.

What can I do? The game I'm currently interested in is Mount and Blade II Bannerlord. When running it using DXVK the game runs very poorly due to the Vulkan version of my GPU (although it looks perfect visually, I must lose about 50 fps compared to Windows where I obviously have the correct compatibility), and without that enabled it runs even worse and with graphical errors.

I have a retro-ish build with an OCed Xeon X3450, 16gb ddr3 and 2gb HD 7870, and decided to try some games on it with Linux out of curiosity after my previous GCN experience with Vega. Threw in a Manjaro KDE SSD, enabled GCN1 support for amdgpu so that RADV would work, and so far heavier Proton games that would easily max out the VRAM (ZZZ or Cyberpunk for example) lock up the whole system in either seconds or minutes after launching. I enabled Proton logs and couldn’t see anything meaningful in there, same with journalctl, it’s like it locks up before it could record anything crash-related and the only thing I consistently see with mangohud at the time of crash is VRAM being at 100%. These games work just fine on Windows, and lighter games like Portal 2 work fine on Linux.

I know that the GCN1 driver is experimental and this would almost certainly be solved with a newer GPU but I want to know if I could make this one work, so I don’t need to hear that again. OC definitely isn’t to blame, I tried reverting it and nothing changed (and it’s perfectly stable on Windows anyway). Also thought it could be a Wayland issue but it’s the same with X11 session.

Basically, as the title says.

Found Limo, which I haven't managed to get working so far (anyone who knows what "return code 256" means?), and a version of ModOrganizer2 which requires Steam, which we don't use and don't want.

Is there anything that works with Lutris and, if possible, can download from Nexus?

Any help would be greatly appreciated because once this is fixed, I can finally convince the rest of the house to dump Windows.

We're running LinuxMint.

I installed nobara on this laptop (i7-13700hx and rtx 4060) and while most things worked fine some things didn't work as intended 1. optimus (I tried envycontrol and encountered black screen after a reboot, had to uninstall it and switch to nvidia from bios to make the card work) 2. Predator Sense (while there exists some alternatives to this software none are for this laptop)

Any sort of help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm playing wow on my Linux machine and I have to say it's not very satisfying to say the least. I have low fps (<50) and frequent stutters. Currently I'm running popOs with cosmic (nvidia) because I didn't want to deal with nvidia drivers myself. I had totally bricked my previous debian system while updating nvidia drivers and had no recent backup. On both systems I've tried debian (550 drivers, Proton-geht and winetricks) and popOs with bottles (soda, Cafe, proton-ge) and still have those. I have a nvidia 2070 gpu and a ryzen 2600 CPU.

tl;dr; I have bad perfomance playing wow.

What configuration do you use to play wow and do you get better perfomance?

• Fixed a bug that could cause suspend/resume to fail when using the NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations option: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/issues/472
• Fixed a bug that caused the cursor image to be truncated on Gamescope: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/1099
• Re-enabled GLX_EXT_buffer_age on Xwayland. This extension had been previously disabled on Xwayland due to a bug which is now fixed.
• Added support for mmap of exported DMA-BUF objects.
• Reduced some cases of stutter with OpenGL syncing to vblank while using GSP firmware.
• Fixed a regression that could cause some applications to exit due to resource exhaustion on some GPUs while using GSP firmware.
• Added several new per-plane and per-CRTC vendor-specific properties to nvidia-drm. These properties may be used by Wayland compositors to program the GPU's color pipeline for HDR hardware acceleration.
• Introduced a driver optimization to mitigate the performance loss from the 'd3d9.floatEmulation' option in DXVK.
• Fixed a bug that caused FarCry 5 running through DXVK to display a black screen.
• Updated the framelock settings page of the nvidia-settings control panel to use the GTK3 theme text color rather than defaulting to white for the text color, improving legibility with some themes.
• Fixed some performance regressions that were observed with Vkd3d 2.9.
• Fixed a bug that could cause flickering in some applications when using Unified Back Buffer (UBB).
• Fixed a bug which could cause incorrect and/or washed out colors to be displayed with HDR scanout: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482780
• Implemented support for VK_EXT_depth_clamp_control.
• Fixed a bug which could cause applications using GBM to crash when running with nvidia-drm.modeset=0.
• Fixed a bug that could cause kernel crashes upon attempting KMS operations through DRM when nvidia_drm was loaded with modeset=0.

Having an issue with Halo Infinite, it constantly does this weird thing where it'd freeze in the middle of a play session but only visually, I can still hear game audio in the background and I even got a 5 minute ban from how much I have to restart my game because of this bug. anyone got a solution? video: https://x0.at/UFIx.mp4

I tried this env var to fix it but it didnt work

Using latest Kubuntu 24.04 with Wayland session and some games blank screen during gameplay unless it's run in windowed mode on the desktop, any ideas why this is ?

Using AMD Radeon 780M gfx, and it works perfectly on X11 but do want to try and use wayland for gaming boost.

Blending the mining and side-scrolling from Terraria, with the building and automation from Factorio — AutoForge looks interesting. Maybe this will scratch an itch you didn't know you had.
