Ive been using mint 22.1 for a little bit, and so far its pretty great. Ive got prism for my mc launcher and havent had any problems with it untill about a week ago when i was playing with some friends via aternos. We chose 1.21.11, and it was fine for a while then i started getting really bad system crashes. So what happens is as follows: both monitors freeze, (supposedly) my character freezes, my friends ask me whats going on over discord, and then i realize.. audio in and out works, discord is still running in the background, my music is still playing, i have no mouse input no keyboard input, gpu monitor goes black then turns off due to no signal, igpu monitor goes white and stays on. Music still plays discord still works i reset my pc loose all my firefox tabs and relaunch mc and it happens 5-15mins later.

System specs-

AMD Ryzen 7900

AMD Radeon 6700XT

MSI X670E Tomahawk mobo

32Gb 6000Mts ram

WD SN770 2Tb nvme

Various other drives, but no programs are running off them in this situation

I was a dual booter for a good 20 years. Only kept windows around for gaming. Getting the Steam Deck really made me consider making the switch 100% I'm happy to say I've been windows free personally AND professionally for over a year now.

Operating system is Ubuntu 24.04, processor is AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U w/ Radeon 780M graphics.

Yesterday I was running games seamlessly (smallish stuff, like Reus 2 or Cloud Gardens) with Proton 10.0. Today, whoops! Steam is failing to launch games. I click "start", it starts loading, then just closes again. The only thing that changed since yesterday is that I installed a new browser this morning (Brave).

Here's what the console says when I boot steam:

I'm suspecting that the unreachable files at the beginning and/or "failed to create vulkan instance" is the issue.

What I've tried so far:

- exited and restarted steam.

- rebooted the computer.

- uninstalled and reinstalled steam.

- couple steps from help forums which didn't have any impact:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers vulkan-tools

sudo apt install --install-recommends steam-installer

I am still very much a noob user, and all I can find either concerns nvidia drivers (not pertinent, I don't have an nvidia graphics card) or is so imprecise as to be completely meaningless to me. Please help!

I'm using the %command% /WineDetectionEnabled:False to enable Ray Tracing but for some reason it always returns this error when I launch the game however the game works fine if I don't use this command. Using this command to enable Ray Tracing in other RE Engine games like Resident Evil 4 seems to work fine. How would I fix this?

I'm running CachyOS and using CachyOS Proton.

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 9 7900X3D

32GB RAM

GPU: RX 9070XT

Unhappy Windows 11 user here, currently running an RTX 5070 Ti. A few months ago, with a lot of pain, I stopped using Linux (Ubuntu) as my main OS. I never play multiplayer games, and every non-VR game I threw at Linux worked fine. But VR, at least in my experience, just isn’t on the same level as Windows yet.

Maybe it’s a skill issue, but when I tried VR on Ubuntu a few years ago:

• Some games worked on WiVRn, others on ALVR. That was fine, I could live with that. db.vronlinux.org helped me figure out which worked where.
• Games like VRChat had issues with video playback...the screen would just be black. I never really looked for a solution, though.
• Some games stuttered a bit. Things didn’t feel as smooth as they do on Windows.
• I’m running an RTX 5070 Ti (16 GB). Maybe I should’ve gone with an AMD GPU?
• In Alyx, I couldn’t use any controller bindings other than the default ones.
• Viewing my desktop in SteamVR didn’t work, I’d just get a black screen.
• The SteamVR UI itself felt very slow, on Windows it’s quite snappy.

I’m also a huge fan of VR overlays like OVR Toolkit. The closest thing I found on Linux was wlx-overlay-s, but I never managed to get it working. Again, probably a skill issue, or maybe my NVIDIA GPU...or both.

I’d really like to avoid running two operating systems or buying separate drives. I’m currently on Windows 11 Pro, and I honestly hate it, hate it... but VR works so well there. I really want to go back to Linux.

Has anyone figured out VR on Linux to the point where it makes no sense to go back to Windows? VR is the only thing holding me back from fully switching.

I'm very curious in learning what's missing.

I am trying to mod assassin's creed games but they require the anvil tool kit to extract the .forge files, but Anvil tool kit just doesnt work on my bazzite os due to the .net requirement so is their any way or an alternative

Near the end of 2024 I switched to Linux, and my goal for 2025 was to not play a single game on Windows this year, and I was able to do just that. Now that windows is permanently off my PC I am ready for the future.

I'd be very grateful if you could help me with some advice. Epic Games recently gave away Hogwarts Legacy, and I was hoping to play it on my Steam Deck, but I ran into a problem. I downloaded the game via Port Proton, and when I launch it, lossless scaling doesn't work. Even if it does, Hogwarts can't find EOS and returns an error.

https://github.com/Furglitch/modorganizer2-linux-installer?tab=readme-ov-file

I downloaded MO2 and followed the instructions from GitHub. I clicked on the highlight releases in step 2 and downloaded mo2Installer-6.0.6.tar.gz and extracted it onto my desktop. I opened the extracted folder, opened the terminal in there, and executed with "./install.sh". It seemed to have worked as the intstaller did stuff. I currently have "mod-organizer-2-cyberpunk2077" in my var/home/usr/games folder, and my cyberpunk 2077 game directory in Steamapps/common has Mod Organizer 2. However, I still can't seem to get the Mod Organizer 2 to work.

Maybe I overlooked step 6's post-install instructions, but it looks rather overwhelming for me to figure out.

To clarify, I'm on Bazzite (an off-shoot of Fedora) and am trying to test out with Cyberpunk 2077. If possible, could I have someone help guide me (perhaps we can chat to more readily have a 1-1 conversation)? I'd be grateful.
