I am getting into PC gaming and decided on using linux, because windows kinda sucks these days, and proton seems to work 80 percent of the time (source: ProtonDB). I want to know if proton has any setup (again, noob question), or if any settings need to be tweaked for it to work well.

Edit: I plan on using Pop!_OS. Just fyi.

The new ZZZ update is here, which of course means the Wine C++ errors under Proton-GE-Latest are back. Yay! 😅
Luckily, the game is still playable.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Download GE-Proton7-10 (using ProtonUp-Qt or whatever you use to manage your Proton versions), and use this version to update the launcher and pre-download the latest patch.
2. Once that’s done, close the launcher and go to ZZZ settings → Advanced. Under "Select an alternative EXE to run", set it to launch ZenlessZoneZero.exe inside the prefix. For me, it’s located at: /mnt/Disk3/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Zenless Zone Zero/drive_c/ZenlessZoneZero Game/ZenlessZoneZero.exe
3. Then, download GE-Proton9-27, use it to launch the game, and it should work now!

Hopefully this helps someone out.

Anyone having issues with launching nightreign? I am running it on fedora and tried different proton versions but they all crash shortly after showing the easy anti-cheat splash screen. Just a white screen and the game stops, anyone experiencing something similar?

Hello does anyone know why my frametime looks like this on my Linux Mint distro using Cinammon? I can feel the choppiness and mangohud confirms it. What are these little spikes? It doesn't happen on my Windows installation..

Compositing is already off for full screen apps and this is a fresh installation of linux mint

I have seen that in Windows there are two squares to the right of “Ultra+” containing RT settings, which I don't have. I don't know if it is a bug or that it is not yet implemented in linux.

I'm using proton experimental on Arch with an AMD gpu. The RADV_PERFTEST='rt' environment variable is enabled but it doesn't seem to work.

I would appreciate any help, thank you!

Hey all I'm running a cachyos desktop and installed emudeck set to the "Linux PC" during setup for a generic install but I'm having a myriad of issues with configuration, resolutions not changing, controllers not working. Is there any alternative on Linux to retrobat on windows? A more full emulation station install instead of barebones ES-DE? I know batocera is a thing but that would involve running a vm with passthrough or reimaging or waiting on someone to containerize it. All the lines I'm seeing seem to be only controllable via the steam deck with radial menus, so no as easy for controller use without the need of a supplemental keyboard/mouse to help facilitate navigation.

Specs: Acer Predator first gen 2k monitor with HW Gsync module. 3070ti 5800x3D

As per title. I have tried to run it, but while game is stuck on 60fps and occasionally dips to 40ies, the screen looks very choppy. On top of that I can see screen tearing.

I have gone through some settings and options, making sure that Gsync is enabled in Nvidia settings, and everything is set correctly.

I am only using Linux for about a 3rd day and literally just testing the waters to see if I can switch to it full time before win10 goes extinct.

The game works great, I am so far impressed with Linux in general on how well it runs and functions, but I am not willing to go without Gsync.

Any tips on how to make it work? I have watched some video last night about X11 and Wayland differences but I am not sure if that matters since cinnamon should be using X11?

I also heard that Gsync only works with fullscreen mode only, but no change after changing that settings.

Also heard that the other two screens must be disabled(I have three), so I did that through right click on desktop and disabled them in display setup, but that didn't help either(I'd also rather not do that going forward).

I have a GTX 1650 on my laptop.

Some time ago I installed Linux mint 21 on my laptop! I've always been attracted to Linux, but I also wanted to play on it. I updated the drivers to the “Recommended” ones from Nvidia itself and installed Minecraft first, but Linux performed terribly in this game. At first, it took me a long time to get the game to work with the video card and not the built-in graphics, and even when I did, the game lagged a lot even when it showed me 60 stable fps.

What could I do? Does it make sense to install Linux with an Nvidia video card?

Maybe I need to change the Linux? I would really like to see Linux performance not losing to Windows

UPD: I'm thinking about trying CachyOS. What do you think about it? I already had some experience with Arch Linux.

I'm also still worried about using a video card in games. I have two GPUs: Intel and my own gtx1650 mobile I had a problem with using the gtx1650 in minecraft because for some reason to use it I had to reboot the laptop completely and it seemed strange to me because in windows there was no such need :( . It was also difficult because I used sklaucher and this is not the official minecraft launcher

So for a while I had issues with games crashing soon after launching or anything intense happening. For example I’d open world of Warcraft and the menus would start glitching and then KDE would collapse and crash the system.

The only fix I found was to hard cap the gpu clock from going higher then 1950ish. Or increasing its power from default to max. Haven’t really tested enough just increasing its power limit to max but not looking to OC right now since summers in gear.

What would cause this to happen? This started happening around the beginning of the year. Is it a change with drivers? KDE? The Linux kernel?
