Game Testing In Linux VM
TL;DR: Looking for guides or tips for using Proton with non-Steam games and also games (Steam or non-Steam) with mods. Emphasis on mods using Bepinex.
Full detail version: The last time I used Linux for any real extended period of time was probably back around 2000. For a variety of reasons I took a couple decade detour into Windows and Mac country. Anyway, sparing you a lot of details you probably don't care about, the pendulum has started swinging back in the direction of Linux being the better OS for what I'm doing. However, I hate dual booting, so I want to try to get a little info about gaming on Linux.
I do most of my gaming on consoles, but there are some games that are only on PC or where only the PC version can be modded. I have games on Epic and GOG that I would want to be able to play, and I will want to be able to install mods for some games (e.g. Subnautica) most of which use Bepinex for modding. Already have a sandbox VM set up to practice with.
So, looking for tips, tricks, guides, or whatever other useful info people can toss my way on this topic.

Mint Vs Fedora (FO4)
Ok, before the hate on Mint.
Ive spent the last week working through probably a dozen different linux flavors trying to get the best gaming experience i could eek out of a 3 year old laptop.
Im about to upgrade to a new Framework 16, and one of the primary supported is Fedora. So, i spun the laptop up AGAIN with F , and everything seemed nice and snappy.
STEAM install on F isn't as straight forward, but sure, ok, got it running.
Next FALLOUT 4.
<update NVidia drivers now>
Lots of rebooting
Hit "Play"
and i'm gonna use quotes there because it is NOT.
Choppy at settings nowhere Near as high as I had under MINT
How would one go about figuring WTF is soooo much worse and / or missing?
This isn't the first time that I've tried all the way to this point and had No luck figuring out next attacks.
MINT is the ONLY distribution that OUT OF THE BOX i've had Luck with getting running at (Most of the potential of my machine. Windows was the other option, but i'm not going to 11, so gotta figure out more)
What would be stock on Mint that they are doing well and no one else seems to have figured out without REALLY DIGGING??

someone hel me?
Could you help me?
If anyone here knows about operating systems, I'd like to inform you that I switched from Windows to Fedora. The thing is, I downloaded VRchat, but when I log in, it doesn't go past the world start screen. The screen freezes, and even after waiting over an hour, it won't launch. Do you know what I can do?
I've already posted before, but I forgot to put it in English. I'm Colombian.

It worked at one point, but now it doesn't, i've tried everything, reinstalling wine, reinstalling studio, switching the graphics engine, restarting, everything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Problem with Resident Evil 4 Remake Modding
(Running Resident Evil 4 Remake on Fedora Linux 42) with Fluffy Mod Manager shows inconsistent behavior with mods
Working fine: Mods like REFramework or other script/framework-based tweaks.
Problematic: Any mod that alters models (characters, costumes, weapons, etc.) or textures (visual overhauls, HD packs, reshades, etc.) makes the game to fail when loading a save. The title screen works, but once a save is selected, the game does not continue.
Details:
- OS: Fedora Linux 42
- Mod Manager: Fluffy Mod Manager
- Game Version: Resident Evil 4 Remake (Steam, running via Proton/Wine)
- Proton Version: GE-Proton10-15
At the moment, only framework/script-based mods seem stable. Model and texture modifications lead to the game refusing to load saves.

Computer sometimes goes 1fps or entirely freezes up when I alt+tab out of a game
*i've only been using linux for less than a month
*this didn't happen on windows so I don't think it is the games themselves
Whenever I'm playing a game on steam, there is around a 50% chance that when I tab out, my computer basically just gives up on me and I have to restart the computer to get it back to functional. Is this a just a linux thing or is there actually something wrong?
Distro used: KDE fedora
PC specs: ryzen 9600x, intel b580, 32gigs of ram

GTA IV has exited unexpectedly
Hi, I'm having issues with GTA IV, Rockstar launcher keeps saying the game exited unexpectedly when launching. I'm not the only one with the issue since I've seen others post guides online on how to fix it. My system is on Arch and I've used Proton 7, 8, 9, hotfix, experimental, and GE 10 & 8. None work, using the older ones brings up a different error message: "Steam client not detected" or something along those lines. I've also tried following the pastebin guide: https://pastebin.com/raw/2s1muz1v. Also tried running rockstar launcher through explorer in protontricks and it now says "can't start!" but I was able to log in previously under different proton versions. This is a nightmare.
TLDR: Tried a bunch of things but none fixed my issue. Don't really know where to go from here.

Bluetooth controller input lag SteamOS
I recently installed SteamOS on my Legion Go 1 and i have been facing an issue with the bluetooth connectivity. Every so often the controller would start showing really bad input lag (around 1-2 seconds). It also sometimes just registers ghost inputs. Is this a known issue and is there a possible fix for this ? I have been testing with a ps5 controller. Prior to installing SteamOS, i was using bazzite which had similar issues even with an Xbox one controller. I would appreciate any help debugging/ diagnosing the issue

Is it possible the transfer previously installed Steam games from Windows on Linux? (Mint)
Hello, I commiting to switching to Linux Mint. I'm sure I can use Proton and other tools to run my Steam games.
But I was wondering if I can transfer my already installed games on Mint, so I dont have to install them once again.
Thanks in advance!

Already Installed Games?
I am currently testing Linux mint on my laptop, before I move to it on my desktop, and most of my games are on steam or on disk so I can re-install most of them pretty easily through lutris or bottles. But I have a handful of Origin games that I got working on Windows 10 without origin and therefore I don't have disks for them.
Honestly it's mainly the sims 2 ultimate collection, I have the lazy Duchess/graphics fix patch that I used to get it working previously but when I try to open the exe in lutris, it says that the files aren't installed. I haven't tried the sims 3 files yet but given that it's an origin installation, it might have thr same issue.
Is there any way around this?

FSR3->FSR4 upgrade on rdna3 + how to add it to FSR3/optiscaler games?
I'm going to install Fedora, is there a guide on how to do this with steam AND non-steam games?
I understand there is a fsr4 emulator for rdna3, but how do I combine it with adding fsr4 to the game through optiscaler?

Pitch: A Game Where You Trade Ideas Like Assets
I’ve been working on a fun but ambitious idea for an app/game and I’m looking for people who might want to help bring it to life. At first, this would just be volunteer work, but if we actually get traction, everyone who contributes will share equally in the success (with just 1% extra for me since I came up with the original concept).
The Concept - Thoughts become assets: You post an idea, and it turns into a tokenized “time share.” - Start with gaming coins instead of real money: Keeps it safe, fun, and easy to try. - Build portfolios: Players can collect and manage ideas the same way they’d build an inventory in a game. - Test with kids and streamers: Great way to see what catches on and make it social. - Path to something bigger: If it works as a game, it could grow into a real marketplace where ideas actually have value.
Why It’s Different Most people can’t patent random thoughts — because not every thought becomes an invention. But this game makes exploring ideas fun and rewarding. It’s not about pump-and-dump or hype; the only way an idea keeps value is if people actually believe in it.
It could also: - Help people measure demand for ideas before building products. - Create a space where people earn recognition (and maybe income down the line) just for being creative. - Give players a new way to engage with culture, creativity, and originality.
What I’m Looking For I’m not a coder myself, so I need people who can help with the building side. Specifically: - Game developers (Unity, Unreal, or even simple mobile prototyping). - Frontend / Web devs (React or similar, to make a lightweight marketplace interface). - Anyone curious about experimenting with gamified economics and idea trading.
I’ll be focused on providing the theory, concept direction, and roadmap. You’ll be helping shape the actual product. If this sounds fun (or just wild enough to try), reach out — I’d love to see if we can build a small demo where people post ideas, trade shares with game coins, and create portfolios of thoughts.

Lutris - Where are files written to C stored
I am using Lutris to play Windows games.
Some Windows games create files in the C drive, sometimes AppData, sometimes in My Documents/MyGames
Where are those files stored under Linux?
I have found that when I use Wine version "GE-Proton (Latest)" it saves them to Games/umu/umu-default
but I do not find those files when I select "wine-ge".
Is there a manual / doc file where such information can be looked up?

VRChat freezing after 1-2 minutes and staying like that for a long while, both VR and desktop modes
So uh I have no idea what the issue is but the game just freezes for a long while, it does go away after a bit but I have no idea what's the cause, I have another system running CachyOS and it does not do that, so it made me think if BTRFS could be the cause but maybe not.
Here's some of the stuff about system info and all that, also not sure how the proton log is because I can't upload it all it was way too long so I just uploaded a certain part at the end. Also I wasn't sure if I'm supposed to post this here but it makes more sense than r/VRchat so uh yeah. Any help is much appreciated.

Underpowered pc connect to a 4k tv via hdmi
I have a PC that can do 1080p but I'm connecting it to a 4k tv. Should I change the display to 1080 at the system level or leave it at 4k and just change the game settings to 1080p. Or does it matter either way?

The Crew - Motorsport
Is there any way to fix this error. Have searched online, not a lot comes up. The game loads, but with this error, and a black screen, with just background music. On protonDB, it shows as silver. Many thanks for the help.
