I tried many games in steam and they all crashed before even opening, I tried different proton versions but nothing worked

this is the output of starting steam and a game:

bus_name=com.steampowered.PressureVessel.LaunchAlongsideSteam

So I've been considering linux because of windows dropping support for 10. However I have quite a lot of games on that pc I'm planning to switch on that I didn't get through steam but through... I'll just say means ahem ahem🏴‍☠️. But now I wonder how those games will behave if I do switch, none of them are online and they have relatively low requirements as they all run well on my Geforce 550 though I plan on upgrading to 650 soon. Will they work or not? I've used Linux a lot before but it was before my gaming days so I'm quite unsure.

I have a few games that are well rated on ProtonDB, but for one reason or another won't launch or crashes. Ive used the PROTON_LOG=1 command to get the log files for each game, but when looking at them I don't know where to start when it comes to determine what causes the crashes. Is there a guide or tool to help interpret these log files?

I’m using the Minisforum Ai X1 Pro, which has a Radeon RX 890M and a Ryzen 9 HX370. The game runs smoothly on my system right out of the box; however, like in most modern games, lossless scaling and an upscaler are essential for achieving a decent frame rate. In this case, I used TAAU, which provides better image quality than FSR in my opinion, and I set lossless scaling to 2x. Again, lossless scaling feels better than Frame Generation. Lastly, I am using the medium preset.

Indoor areas are easy to get solid fps; however, outdoor areas are a different story. Outdoors, the fps can drop under 60, but it still doesn't ruin the experience.

Hey everyone,

I’m thinking about using CachyOS as my main daily driver. I mostly play single-player games like RDR2 and Cyberpunk 2077.

Is CachyOS a good choice for this? I’m mainly concerned about stability, drivers, and overall gaming performance.

I have an older laptop with i7 4700hq, gtx 850m and 8gb of ram. I used to play overwatch on it back when it was still a 6v6 game. After that I bought a new gpu for my main pc and played on it ever since.

In the meantime overwatch 2 released and now windows 10 is reaching end of life so I decided to use the laptop as a toy to test out linux. I was positively surprised by not having to fish for bluetooth and touchpad drivers and whatnot, but I figured I'd try overwatch and oooh boy...

Ram usage slowly climbs until it fils up the entire 8gb and laptop freezes. Game sounds still work for a while but I'm then kicked to login screen with game reporting it's working at 0 fps. The only way to restart is to hold down the power button.

Is there anything I can do to fix this (apart from upgrading the ram) or do I just need to accept that ow2 won't work?
