Hey everyone,

I submitted a support ticket to Rockstar Games asking them to enable GTA Online on Linux via Proton, because right now it’s blocked due to BattlEye (“Please enable BattlEye”).

Instead of addressing the issue, they just moved my ticket to “feedback” and closed it. No explanation, no help — basically ignoring Linux users.

I created a petition to push for official Linux support: [Full petition link]

I am running a dual boot Rog ally X, I honestly prefer playing most games in bazzite. I bought both of these games, but I can’t get the games to look decent enough to play (significant lag and choppiness). Any idea what settings I should have?

Hey Linux gamers!

Right now, GTA Online is blocked on Linux due to the BattlEye anti-cheat (“Please enable BattlEye”), even though BattlEye already works with Proton in other games.
I created a petition on Change.org asking Rockstar Games to add official Linux and Proton support.

Привет, Linux-геймеры!

Сейчас GTA Online на Linux заблокирована из-за античита BattlEye (“Please enable BattlEye”), хотя эта система уже работает через Proton в других играх.
Я создал петицию на https://c.org/n92xGwc8ck, чтобы попросить Rockstar Games добавить официальную поддержку Linux и Proton.

Hey guys I created four total scripts, two for AMD systems with an RX 9070xt and the rest for all systems ( Nvidia, Intel ARC and AMD) GPU's. It is a gaming optimizer for your Debian based OS. It adds in the latest kernel drivers, Mesa drivers, Gpu and Cpu drivers. Adds support for the most up to date raytracing capabilities, as well as Newest upscaling technologies like FSR 4, DLSS 4.5, Intel XESS 3, and cutting edge anti-cheat support.

I am using Zorin os 18, and it changed my stock install with a gaming beast of an OS. Please check it out if you guys are interested and let me know!

Enjoy guys! Here is the link to my Github page for the Scripts:

I recently got tired of Windows and started researching gaming on Linux. Most recommendations suggested Bazzite and Pop! OS. I decided to start with Bazzite, playing Overwatch. After installing the game, I chose Proton Experimental. Upon first launch, I experienced significant lag and very low FPS. I further researched and tried GaMode for performance optimization and Mango HUD to monitor FPS. While Mango HUD showed over 100 FPS, visually, the image quality was barely reaching 60 FPS. After researching via Gemini, I found the problem might be due to using a laptop with a separate monitor (Hz) for gaming, causing inaccuracies. However, even after following the suggested solutions and using only the separate monitor (Hz), the problem persisted. I then switched to Pop! OS to test for similar issues. After installation and setup, the FPS problem disappeared, but a different problem arose: after a match, my character would constantly face upwards and couldn't be dragged back down. Every time I pressed the shoot button, the screen would rotate, so Gemini suggested I use a game scope. After installing it and putting the code in the launch options, when I started the game, my screen froze and I couldn't do anything. So I decided to turn off the computer and try again tomorrow. I don't want to give up on Linux and go back to Windows yet. Are there any other distros I should try? submitted by /u/Fun_Chemistry9448

My title screen is a test/placeholder animation. I also see it where tutorial animations should show up. Anyone knows what could cause this?

I'm on Pop_OS Gnome and have a RTX 5080, using driver 590.

I also notice that I can only play with ray tracing enabled, otherwise my lighting gets all glitchy with a block of light in dark places.

And For some reason water looks terrible in some places, specially in dark places it looks like there isnt water.

Hello, yesterday I was playing ARC Raiders as usual, but today at the morning I got this problem for no reason:

I feel that the mouse sensitivity within the game is higher than normal; also, and more importantly, the FOV seems to be locked to a box which, I suspect, has something to do with they screen size.

I can't look 360° degrees because at middle turn it stops moving, and, as you can see, my mouse is still moving.

Any fixes?

Im playing in Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS, using GE-Proton10-33 and no Launch Options on Steam.

Just got this on todays beta changes:

Linux SteamRT3 Beta

• The Steam for Linux client can now be run inside a Steam Runtime container. This will help the Steam client provide a more consistent experience across multiple distributions. This is the same technology we use for Steam games.
• The SteamRT3 beta client is distributed alongside the regular beta client. You can opt-in to the beta client via the 'Use experimental SteamRT3 Steam Client' toggle in Settings->Interface.
• The SteamRT3 beta client has been updated to 64 bits.
• Please report issues specific to the SteamRT3 beta in the Beta Forums or the steam-for-linux issue tracker.

Hello, does anyone have any experience with HP OMEN MAX 16 on linux? I am coming from a Lenovo Legion Pro 5, where everything works, fans, power limit, rgb so on. Also seems to have a really good cooling. I found most games ran better than on windows 11.

There is a sweet deal on HP OMEN MAX and I am considering it.

• Ryzen AI 9 HX 375
• 32GB RAM
• 1TB SSD
• Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 16GB

However it would be a hard no for me if there are problems like having a worse cooling or worse driver support so that I cannot manager fans or power profiles, limit power and so on. Anyone gaming on HP Omen?

Here’s yet another Crimson Desert post 🙂. Does anybody else simply not have the Ray Regeneration option not available (grayed out)? I have RTX on but just wanted to test it out only to find the option wasn’t available?

Fedora 43 running 9070XT, ran updates before trying the game.
