I’ve seen countless posts of people who claim their games are running better on linux.

Besides the games that run natively (please disconsider them for this discussion) as I understand, for a windows game to run on linux it needs to be converted wine/box64 etc, and this process hits the perfomance, that was my experience running games on my arch-endeavor OS and on switch with kubuntu

Since people claim that they have a better fps rate on linux, my theory is that their windows is full of bloatware and are making an unfair comparison or something like it

Is there more to it / something different that was the key for this improvement on perfomance? I know that vulkan support is great, but does games really run better than on windows?

Good morning, everyone.

I recently reinstalled Linux Mint on my laptop, fully expecting my Steam games to run smoothly (given my hardware). Unfortunately, I've hit a roadblock and need some help figuring out the cause.

Here's the situation:

• The Setup: I installed the Liquorix kernel before trying to launch any games.
• The Problem: All Windows-based games (running via Proton/WINE, e.g., Monkey Island 2) do not start at all.
• Working Games: Linux native games (like Slay the Spire) run perfectly fine.

These exact games run flawlessly on my other mini-PC also running Linux Mint (with the standard kernel).
They also ran without issues on this laptop before the reinstall (both on stock Mint and CachyOS).

I suspect Liquorix might be the culprit, but I can't confirm it. I tried reverting to the original kernel, but I'm not skilled enough to properly access the graphical kernel selection menu (GRUB), so I'm currently stuck on Liquorix.
I've tried different Proton version via Steam, but nothing changes.

Can someone give me some pointers on how to diagnose why Steam Windows games are failing to launch?

Specifically, where should I look for logs (Proton logs, Steam logs, etc.) or other diagnostic information that can pinpoint the issue?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Specifically, do they use a Box64 fork to run x86->ARM translation akin to how they forked Wine for Proton, or do they use a fully in-house solution?

Also, they call it an ARM PC, which probably means it runs regular Linux edition of SteamOS rather than something Android-based? Which means the APK support is probably from Waydroid, right?

It would be funny if a VR headset of all things helped push more accessible desktop-ish ARM devices... I'm really hopeful it of all things will come with some sort of UEFI support - given Valve's dedication to "you can install whatever OS you want on it" when it comes to hardware

I have a mini PC with a Ryzen 7640HS and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM. What OS would be best for my setup?

I need the mini PC to stay in a low-TDP mode most of the time and run Docker with Immich. Then, when I press the power button on my DualSense controller, it should turn on the TV via CEC (I think?) and either stop Docker or limit its resource usage — and at the same time, raise the TDP and switch the system into a “gaming mode.” Stability isn’t important. Ideally, I’d like to use a keyboard and mouse only rarely, just for configuration and maintenance. (Translated with chatgpt)

Sad that this is the experience for Linux players since the easy anti cheat update, the game randomly freeze almost every 2-3 minutes so it's unplayable in multiplayer.

I’ve heard many options like Mint, Bazzite, PopOS and some others but the amount of options got me overthinking a bit, what’s one y’all would recommend the most?

So I'm trying to play Roblox on my Linux laptop and I installed sober and ran Roblox, the controls work fine and the game looks fine, but the touchpad mouse is buggy, I used the shift lock so I can look around but I can't move while doing so, on top of that when shift lock is active the cursor is such to the middle of the screen and is weirdly glitching.

Anyone have this issue or know a fix?

wanted to slow down and see all the different styles and fronts and figured some others might want to as well.
