Hey guys I goofed up :/ I was setting up Synctech for my emulator saves and for retroarch I was told I needed to use flatseal.

Got a little confused on how to use it and the only thing giving guidance was google ai, something went wrong because now as the title says I can't open flatpacks or konsole.

The closest things I found on google were a user /uKickyMcAssington who ran into a similar problem and they used a konsole command to fix it and it worked for them.

I see recommendations to factory reset but i seeeeeriously don't want to do that if I can help it if anyone knows how to fix this I'd love to hear also I did try resetting it multiple times

tldr Flatseal took away my permissions I can't use konsole or play games I tried resetting/deleting Flatseal and associated settings and am stuck on what to do :(

Recently changed to Mint after Windows 11 was Breaking every Update. Managed to get Steam up and working fine, and enjoyed a long play session of Deep Rock Galactic, one of my favorite games. It didn't run better than on Windows but it also wasn't noticeably worse, it did feel different though if that makes sense. Today I tried playing it again but every time I open it, the screen is frozen. I can still control the character and interact with everything but it will just show me a still image. Didn't find anything about it online, has anyone else experienced this? Thanks

Hardware:

AMD Ryzen 7 7700

Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti

Kernal:

6.14.0-37-generic

Hi I'm kinda new with Linux for gaming since I usually just use linux for office stuff. Currently I'm using Fedora Linux. I was thinking about playing Uncharted Waters Online since I thought this game is very light. I saw on the Internet that the Anti cheat is the same as Helldivers 2 so I'm guessing this could work. But when I run this game out from steam with proton, it keep looking like this. Is there anything I could do to be able to play this game? Thank you in advance.

I've been wondering what people here think would be a solution to Client-Side AntiCheat on Linux (that could ACTUALLY happen).
There are a few solutions that would be really good, such as server-sided AntiCheat. However, this approach doesn't cover some attack surfaces well in some games... Such as PvP shooters. A good solution would be Machine Learning mechanisms, which work for a lot of games... (THE FINALS for example, my favorite shooter right now)
Although, the harsh reality is that most gaming companies don't care, and put too much effort into client-side AntiCheat instead of working more on the server-sided protection mechanisms. I'll be a bit pessimistic: while not a lot of Co-Op games use Kernel-Level AntiCheats, this trend won't stop for PvP online shooters.

TLDR: When more AntiCheat developers (or anyone with any power to change the field) start to care more about Linux, which approach they would take (realistically), in your opinion, to solve their problem of the current Linux Client-Side AntiCheat not being as effective?

Note: I don't think I have to mention the fact that Client-Side AntiCheats are simply just pieces of software meant to make modifying the game harder, and more time-consuming, not impossible regardless of what many people think. Realistic here doesn't mean good, or the most effective, just most likely.

Hello dear Linux community,

I need your current assessment. I would really like to switch to Linux (preferably Mint or bazzite).

And there is only one reason stopping me: gaming.

I love playing games and I've heard that a lot has changed in this area (thanks to Valve, among others). The last I heard, games like Fortnite, Battlefield 6, and League of Legends don't work on Linux because of the extensive anti-cheat measures. Has anything changed in this regard? LoL in particular would be really important to me.

There used to be workarounds, but apparently those won't work anymore starting in 2024.

I would be very grateful for any feedback and experience reports :)

When I play a second deathmatch in a row on a server, the game freezes on team selection and returns to the main menu with an error.When I play a second deathmatch in a row on a server, the game freezes on team selection and returns to the main menu with an error.

Can we please ban posts advertising games and products?. I, and presumably many other people, don't like being bombarded with advertising everytime I open the subreddit. Constant ads are one of the MANY reasons I moved away from windows. Why are people so gung-ho about being force fed ads for shit products and games just because they "work on linux" like thats some magical fucking thing. These are just in the last day alone:

Try linking (or copying) from .var/app/io.github.benjamimgois.goverlay/config/MangoHud to /home/.config

Both steam and heroic flatpaks should read it and apply

Make sure to have MANGOHUD=1 on steam (through flatseal for global enabling)

you still need to write mangohud (or MANGOHUD_DLSYM=1 mangohud) for OpenGL games though

Make sure to enable mangohud through heroic's settings

I know it's still very, very early but is there any idea or discussion with them wanting beta testers to join in and help the devlopment team out? For me I support the idea and can get on board with them wanting to come up with native Linux software

Its a weird problem, i have two disk (a SSD and a HDD), i install terraria in my SDD and it works awesome! But when i installed Risk of Rain 2 it ran well when i first launched, i closed it and a few hours later i wanted to launch it again, but it doesnt open anything ("Play" button goes to "Launching" and then return to "Play". It compiles Vulkan shaders before doing so). This also happens to other newly installed games.

What is even weirder is that it launches perfectly when i move it into my SSD. Anyone know what may help?

What i have tried so far:

• Verified the game files through Steam.
• Made sure I have all the necessary dependencies installed.
• Tried different Proton versions, including the latest and Experimental.
• Checked the drive where my Steam library is installed (it’s on an NTFS drive).
• Changed the permissions and ownership settings to ensure everything is accessible.
• Updated my system

I just released my game Tearscape which also has a native Linux build. It was a bit of a pain to build for multiple platforms but I want do my part in pushing for Linux gaming. I'm a Bazzite user and I want to see this community grow. Some Linux players already tried the build and no problems so far, of course most are Steam Deck users.

Its my first big release and I'm pretty excited/nervous. I'm much more of a programmer than an artist so there is definitely some more visual polish to come as I update it, but I'm really proud of where its at right now. Its on sale right now for under $3 USD so if you have the means please check it out and leave a review :)

Developed and tested on Ubuntu 24.04.3 🐧

Hi, I just created this Reddit account for my YouTube channel, If you've tried running SP Football Life 2026 (Smoke Patch for PES 2021) on Linux and hit that annoying "unable to create iSteamuser" error with Proton – you're not alone. It bricks the game every time.

I made a complete step-by-step tutorial (19 mins) that fixes it permanently using Heroic Games Launcher + Wine 10.16 Staging. Tested on Arch Linux (kernel 6.18.7), but works on Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. The tutorial is in Spanish, just in case.

It's running on GE Proton, but this fizzy noise keeps happening. I tried putting WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" %comand% in the launch options and changing the audio settings in fallout4.ini

Is there anything else I can do?

Much thanks to this poster!

Hytale made a great decision in using Flatpak for their Linux release-but there's a few rough edges to begin with. So here's how to get Hytale working and looking good.

This should fix any graphical glitches and the dri3 crash.

Getting started:

Go into Driver Manager, make sure you have the latest driver available for your video card. Make note of your version. Mint has the driver name in bold, then the version beneath that. You want the version number!

For example: My current driver is NVIDIA 590 open, version 590.48.01-0ubuntu0.24.04.1. So I will write down nvidia-590-48-01 and use it for the next step. Ignore anything after those first three sets of numbers.

Next, open your terminal. Insert: flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.gl.yourversionhere

Install it system wide, say yes and let it install.

Installing Hytale Launcher:

Download the Launcher from the site.

You can install the launcher via terminal or via a Flatpak storefront, such as Warehouse. Either will work. You can also launch it from Warehouse.

Restart your computer to make the launcher visible. It should now be playable.

You can also add it to Steam, by clicking the plus sign at the bottom left corner and install non-steam game. The Hytale launcher should be in the application list.

I am currently into an early access game and my AMD GPU is way to weak to handle the graphics. FPS fell below 60 fps near to 30. So i was forced to try out frame gen. There are options for FSR frame gen and XeSS frame gen.

One note before the results though, i can't tell you how much i dislike intel. I actually hate this corporation for several reasons one of which is that intel slowed down the PC gaming evolution for decades and due to their illicit anti-competitive behavior. I really hate them from the bottom of my PC heart. Together with AMD and their patent cross licensing they force PC gamers into a vendor lock in. And i really hope that once the PC gets opened up by evil Microsoft with "Windows on arms" the situation might improve in terms of cheaper arm based hardware CPU and GPU wise which drips down to Linux Gaming.

I know that AMD gets praised much by a big part of the Linux community for their open source drivers on Linux. But people should really know that AMD actually retreated from writing such e.g. amdvlk. It is in fact Valve's engineers who write the MESA RADV ACO driver and implement new features as long as AMD open sourced them. If AMD doesn't, like in the case with redstone and FSR4, then Valve can't do something about it. So much for open source and how AMD treats their business partner Valve.

Now to the results and i really, really hate to admit this. But AMD's FSR Frame Generation is really garbage in comparison to intel's frame gen. On Linux native wayland XeSS frame Gen is so good, especially since it runs on a non-intel GPU namely on my AMD GPU, that you nearly can play 30 fps games as smooth as if it was 60 fps. I wish i had an Nvidia GPU by the way and hope that DX12 translation gets fixed very soon there. It is really a mystery how the heck AMD always delivers suboptimal features in comparison to the competition. It all seems like half baked and they still demand high prices for their GPUs. So yeah i don't know about you guys but how can AMD deliver this mediocre garbage like FSR 1-3 and restrict okayish FSR4 to RDNA4 while intel has an AI upscaler for ages already that runs on non-intel cards and on top of that a very good frame gen solution that runs on non-intel gpus too?

I somehow got the feeling that the linux community should rather focus on intel's upscaler suite in terms of picking it up and improving it. But unfortunately intel fails their promise to open source XeSS still. And this reveals them as liars. They could get a really good reputation in the Linux community if they changed their business ethics. And i really like intel's Tom Petersen who worked for Nvidia before by they way. This guy is really sympathetic to me and seems to know what he is talking about. And i especially like his approach to Gaming by giving the prime focus to frame pacing. This is the number one issue that breaks immersion. Unfortunately Tom Peterson and intel don't give much attention to Linux Gaming according to a recent interview and wait until it gets more popular.
