Hello,

I recently installed cachyos onto a separate ssd to try it out. I had to configured to dual boot Windows and Linux.

I did play some steam games on the linux side and it did install Proton Experimental, Proton BattleEye Runtime, Steam Linux Runtime 2.0 (soldier) and Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper).

I decided Linux wasn't for me just yet and wiped the drive that had Linux in it so I could use it for games on Windows.

This is the issue, all 4 of the tools for Linux that were installed still show up in my library. I cannot uninstall them and they keep updating even after I delete the folders in the Steam directory.

Is there anyway to get this to stop or uninstall these from my Steam account?

... why do Bazzite make a big deal out of simple convenience like, don't minimize my screen while I game when I move the mouse into the left corner? Or please don't show the panel on the lower screen? And no, Alt enter doesn't work.

Bazzite is a gaming distro for god sake...

As the tittle says that idk how the first time i installed wow ascension the launcher showed normal and the install script poped up normale. After that i used chat gpt to make a script for plariumplay and try to install and automaticaly i made the plariumplay installer small and after that when i wanna start ascension launcher it showes small and not normal size. Now im installing gw2 and same the installer is small... i tried in lutris-preferences- runners- wine - to enable gamescop and make it 1920-1080 and it showed up normal but the ascension wont launch.

Any ideas on what to do to make them show on the normal size.

I am unable to get Necesse to launch. It's supposed to have native linux support. I am using Bazzite. The most I've done is verify the integrity of the files and try proton experimental and proton 9.0-4.

Edit: apparently steam isn't launching any of my games... This is new. rebooting did nothing

Ive been using windows 10 and 11 for alot of my life but ive been hearing alot aboht linux and i want to give it a try because ive heard it uses less resources and is highly customizable.

The thing i use my computer for games. Like 80% of the time i use it its for gaming. I know linux isnt compatible for games like valorant and fortnite but i dont really play those games. I play alot of single player games and some multiplayer steam ones. Examples are like Chivalry 2, project zomboid, stardew valley, geometry dash, skyrim, and im currently playing kcd2. I also play roblox which i dont know if is supported.

I also use programs like discord and voicemeter which voicemeter is a need for me because my microphone is very quiet.

Overall i was just looking for some advice if my games work, if voicemeter works, what distro i could use if i game alot, and overall if i just should switch or not. Thank you!

I'm ready to finally ditch Windows and dive into Linux. The problem? I'm drowning in a sea of distros, desktop environments, and intimidating terminal commands!

I need your hive mind's wisdom to find the Linux home for my MSI laptop (i7-7700HQ, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA 1050Ti).

I've already dipped my toes in (Mint was 'meh,' Ubuntu crashed, Arch-based CachyOS/Bazzite broke PCEM compilation), but I need something that just works for my specific needs.

Here's what my ideal distribution needs to nail:

1. Serious C++ Development: Must be great for working in CLion and Visual Studio Code.
2. Legacy Emulation: Flawless performance with PCEM (emulating Windows 98) and various flight simulators. (Ubuntu failed hard here with PCEM and peripheral support, others had a poor performance compared with Windows, the best one was Mint so far). I will use Retroarch and DOSBox Staging too, but these are very easy to run in any distro.
3. Stability & Lifeline: Big community and docs for a newbie like me.
4. (Bonus Points!): The ability to run the legendary tactical flight sim, Falcon BMS.

What do you recommend and why?

Playing Overwatch 2. Linux mint, Ryzen 5 5600, Kernel 6.11, Radeon 6600, 16 GB RAM. Up to date MESA drivers on 25 from kisak PPA. Playing the game with DX 12, but it has happened on DX 11 too.

The game will freeze and completely lock up my PC needing a hard reset. This has happened on Proton Experimental, Hotfix, and Proton GE-10. This most recent one was with Proton GE.

Just re-verified the game files and my RAM usage is now hanging around 6/7, as opposed to this most recent crash where it was near 15 GB. Could this just be a memory leak for some reason?

Thank you for any help!!

I'm attempting to install Battle.net on Linux so I can play D2R.

So far I have attempted to use Lutrius, but the install always fails. I'm able to get the installer to run, and when the install process gets about 45% of the way through, the Lutrius install process says that it's finished, but if I try to run Battle.net, it fails with a MissingGameExecutableError.

I have also tried installing via Steam, but I can't seem to get the installer binary to run via Proton. When I click the download link on the Battle.net website, nothing happens.

Does anyone know how to get this working?

Hello. I've recently decided to give Linux another try after almost a decade since I went back to Windows and I've encountered a problem I didn't expect. As far as I know Wuthering Waves should work on Steam with Proton, however no matter what I did it would not work. The game launches, but when I try to load into the world I get an anti-cheat error. I have tried using different versions of Proton, including beta, Experimental and Hotfix, but none of them work. From what other people have reported it should run, so I'm really at a loss as to what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help?

Edit: I'm using Linux Mint 22.2 btw.

I'm using arch, wayland, Nvidia 3070, and gnome. For some reason my mouse will not lock to the main monitor, I aim and shoot then all of a sudden I'm clicking discord. I don't know why, it was working just fine last night. Has happened on other games.

has someone managed running TSW^ stable on linux.

The game starts very well plays smooth. But suddenly i got a total freeze on my PC. The sound goed in an endless loop and the only way too restart my PC is through the powerbutton.

I tried several Proton versions even some GE versions. I tried some older NViidia drivers and several launch options. Also i upgraded my Ubuntu too the newest version. But it's still the same.

But on the proton website i read a whole other story. So i have no idea why i got this kind of problems while other programs running without any issues.

I am quite new to linux, but I have this idea, not all cool things must be for arch only!

A bit of context trying to stay concise: I have a Fedora 42 desktop and a Bazzite (42?) htpc system in the livingroom. My approach is to alway rely on less people as possible, thus I prefer "base" distros over derivatives (as Bazzite is).
Thus, I would love to replace Bazzite with simple Fedora kinoite (i like that the htpc is more resilient to my distruptive actions) and setup gamescope-session-plus on my own.
To reach this goal I have tried for a couple of days to set this up on my Fedora 42 desktop.

The resources I tried to follow:

• https://github.com/ChimeraOS/gamescope-session
• https://github.com/Nobara-Project/steamdeck-edition-packages/tree/main
• https://github.com/Grimish-ng/steam-gamescope-guide/tree/main

The last one was mostly successful but I have some artifact or graphical glitch I don't know in the middle of the screen that are really annoying and I can't remove (not only with the last one) and it is a simpler implementation that doesn't allow for easy switch to the desktop, so it could work on my desktop but not on the htpc.

What I didn't try:

• https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite

  Bazzite's setup seems more complex than others to me (or I simply can't navigate the repo correctly).

What I ended up doing on my desktop (yes in the end I like the idea of a lighter running base system while only gaming) is that when I reach sddm I don't login but switch to the tty3 and run: STEAM_MULTIPLE_XWAYLANDS=1 gamescope --mangoapp -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 180 -e -f --xwayland-count 2 --adaptive-sync --hdr-enabled -- steam -gamepadui -steamdeck -steamos3

Did anyone manage to setup the complete gamescope-session-plus on Fedora 42 KDE?

Hopefully /r/linux_gaming can help me with this!

I've been trying to get Football Manager 2012 (Steam version, AppID 71270) running on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS through Proton (version 10.0-200).

After some heavy tinkering (installing d3dcompiler_47, d3dx9, d3dx9_43, dxvk, vcrun2008, vcrun2022, vcrun6 and vcrun6sp6 with Protontricks), I manage to make the game boot up (initialization command: PROTON_LOG=1 %command% -windowed -small_screen). The game's splash screens are displayed, but then a window with the following message shows up:

effect failed to compile

:72:8: W5300: Implicit truncation of vector type.
:25:9: E5017: Aborting due to not yet implemented feature: Writing fx_2_0 sampler objects initializers is not implemented.
:105:1: E5017: Aborting due to not yet implemented feature: Write pass assignments.

I close the window, the game's splash screens run as usual, and the game crashes when it's supposed to enter a loading screen.

Is this a common error? Is there already a fix for that?

If after boot, I reach sddm but instead of logging in I switch to a different tty (i.e. ctrl+alt+f3), login there and run: STEAM_MULTIPLE_XWAYLANDS=1 gamescope --mangoapp -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 180 -e -f --xwayland-count 2 --adaptive-sync --hdr-enabled -- steam -gamepadui -steamdeck -steamos3, am I benefitting from the lower resources used by the system because KDE didn't load yet, or does KDE load resources even before so my approach is useless?

I would like to obtain the benefit of steam's gamescope-session or gamescope-session-plus but without implementing the full session solution because I failed multiple times in setting up the session (for various reason it was always working minus something. I managed anyway to create a functional steam-session-select script that shuts down steam so I can easily close the tty3 session without residues an switch to tty2 for normal desktop use.

In addition, I think the answer is yes but would it be possible to also create a grub entry that starts on the tty3 by default and not load even sddm until I switch to tty2, or would sddm always load even if I boot on tty3?

Is there? I mean the official launcher. I tried adding it to steam, lutris, heroic and nothing works. I even tried bottles. It just gives me an invisible window.

For context I am using EndeavourOS with the GNOME desktop environment in a wayland session.

The issue is whenever I launch CS2 it crashes with the error FATAL ERROR: Vulkan encountered unrecoverable error VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST after some time on the Valve logo. I know my specs are subpar but the weird thing is the game used to launch just fine in October of 2024, granted I was using KDE Plasma at that time.

These are my specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 7 5700U

GPU: Integrated GPU

RAM: 8 GB

GNOME VERSION: 49

The following are the common fixes which I have tried so far:

1. -fullscreen :- adding this option resulted in an immediate crash with no error message.
2. SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=wayland :- forcing the game to use wayland displayed the valve logo for some time after crashing with no error message.
