Path of Titans performance issues
So I'm new to Linux (running Bazzite) and trying to get this non-steam game to run well. I know there might be some performance hits going from windows to Linux, but the game feels like it's running on a potato (tanking all my graphics to minimum and still getting less than 40fps). Are there any changes I should be making when downloading a new game that I don't know about, like launch settings or some other program?

Faugus Launcher - How to add Steam Games that need to run in comaptibility mode?
Hello,
I want to switch from Lutris to Faugus Launcher, because Lutris doesn't get regular updates anymore. So far I am liking it very much. EA, Ubisoft etc. all launched fine and work flawlessly. But how can I add a Steam game that needs to run with Proton? I tried to add the Helldivers 2 Exe but I don't know where the prefix is located.

Hi Playerrs!!!!
Hi everyone,
Inspired by the "Arr" stack (Sonarr, Radarr, etc.), I decided to start Playerr.
What is Playerr? It is my first serious public project: a Self-Hosted Game Library Manager (v0.1.0).
Main Features:
- Smart Library Scanning: Automatically recognizes platforms and organizes your local files.
- API Integration: Native connection with IGDB and Steam for rich metadata, plus Prowlarr/Jackett support.
- Download Client Management: Integrated control for qBittorrent and Transmission.
- Multi-platform: Official support for Docker (amd64/arm64), Windows, and macOS (Apple Silicon).
What am I working on now? (Roadmap):
- Lutris & Proton Compatibility: Specifically optimized for Bazzite.
- USB File Transfer: Advanced management via the DBI protocol.
- App Store Integration: Working on official support for CasaOS.
As a professional in the technical sector, I firmly believe in efficient and reliable tools. Playerr is my contribution to the gaming and self-hosting community.
I would love to hear your feedback, ideas for improvement, or even collaborate if anyone is interested in the project.
You can check it out here: https://github.com/Maikboarder/Playerr
Thanks for reading!
Miguel

Will these distros be appropriate and user friendly enough?
I'm looking to change my OS to a Linux. I have mint on my laptop as a test and love it no complaints (well a few but more just frustration till I work out how to solve an issue) I have been using it for 2 weeks.
I am wanting to swap my gaming PC but from my research Linux mint won't work with my specs.
-CPU: Ryzen 7 7800x3D -Graphics: Radeon RX 9070 XT -Ram: Kingston 32gb 6000mhz
I'm going to preferences this by saying I'm a casual gamer, and not the most tech savvy. I am looking for a distro that will work relatively well out of the box and will have decent online support for when I inevitably need help. I do like that mint, is similar enough to windows I can occasionally intuitivly work out what I need to do.
Distros that I'm considering include:
- pop!_OS (leaning towards this) -CachyOS
- fedora
- OpenSUSE
I think the last 2 will be too much of a learning curve at this point in time.
Am I missing an obvious OS? Most of the Wikis and forums have information that's 1 to 2 years old.
If this helps with recommendations outside of gaming I use the PC for libre office, calibre, and internet searches nothing technical.

Debian performance issues vs arch
Hi all,
Was having increasing problems with using Arch so I jumped ship to Debian. Everything has gone mostly smoothly, except I am noticing that game performance is significantly worse.
I booted up both Clair Obscur and Elden Ring, and both are noticeably more laggy on Debian compared to Arch. For Clair Obscur in combat, the FPS has dropped from 60 to 30FPS. I tried reducing the resolution from 1440 to 1080, but this didn't help. Otherwise they appear to run fine.
Here are my specs:

Ultrawide fixes don't work on Linux!
Hi, I'm trying to run Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005 and I'm trying to get ThirteenAG's widescreen fix to work, but ultrawide fixes (ThirteenAG, and the fixes for PvZ) don't work at all.
I'm using Heroic Games Launcher to launch the game, Wine 10.20. if I use anything other than Wine the game encounters a fatal error.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D (32) @ 5.76 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
OS: Arch Linux with kernel 6.18.2-arch2-1
GPU drivers: 590.48.01 (nvidia-open)
Monitor: LG Ultrawide 2560x1080 in 29", 100 Hz
Any clue on why it doesn't work?

Cyberpunk 2077 massive performance and fps issues
OS: Arch LinuxKERNEL: 6.18.2-zen2-1-zenCPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX with Radeon GraphicsGPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800M (radeonsi, renoir, ACO, DRM 3.64, 6.18.2-zen2-1-zen)GPU DRIVER: 4.6 Mesa 25.3.3-arch1.1RAM: 16 GB Wayland Hyprland
so on this exact system with absolutely 0 tweaks other than force ProtonGE10-26 i used to get 100-120fps ingame and 165 in settings menu with vsync on with ultra graphics preset and then when i moved it to another ssd via steam move game option my frames tanked to 30-50 in game and 80 in settings menu. gpu and cpu usage does not go above 80% and hovers at 70-75% wiith no difference in usage or fps whther i use minimum preset or ultra preset. no frame cap no launch options. ive tried fully reinstalling, clearing compatdata+shadercache and using different versions of proton (proton 8-5, hotfix, exxperimental and ge 10-26) nothing worked and any positive results i did get such as 165 fps in settings menu were not reproducible and would happen randomly after changing something like deleting compatdata again and relaunching cyberpunk. ive tried using the steam verify game files and ive tried runninng the straight exe from outside of steamm and the launcher using protoontricks and still nothing. hard cap at 80 and in game hovers at 40 with lows of 30-25 and highs of 50 to 55.

Issues Playing Games on Steam with Fedora 43 and Proton-GE
Bottles - How to run specified bottle/prefix (or any game) in offline mode
Aloha! If you've noticed, Flatseal permissions screen only recognizes installed apps, and these inside Wine prefixes don't appear. Or maybe you don't have Flatpak, but still want to "firewall" your game from internet. Bottles also allows entering Offline Mode, but during which it can't check for DXVK or Proton updates.
What you do instead, is you have to manually edit Application Menu shortcuts to include bwrap --unshare-net at the end of Command-line arguments (aka "Exec=") field, but before "%u" parameter (and install bwrap if your distro doesn't have it already, but it's most likely already installed, conveniently it comes with Flatpak).
To automate this process, I made a script to batch-edit all Application Menu shortcuts that reference Bottles and use a prefix/bottle name containing "offline" word:
#!/usr/bin/env bash DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/.local/share/applications" # Loop through all .desktop files find "$DESKTOP_DIR" -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.desktop" | while read -r file; do # Extract all Exec lines that call Bottles mapfile -t exec_lines < <(grep -E "Exec=.*com.usebottles.bottles run" "$file") # Skip if no Bottles Exec lines found [[ ${#exec_lines[@]} -eq 0 ]] && continue # Check each Exec line for bottle name for line in "${exec_lines[@]}"; do # Extract bottle name after "-b" bottle_name=$(echo "$line" | sed -E 's/.* -b ([^ ]+).*/\1/I') # Normalize bottle name (remove spaces, lowercase) normalized=$(echo "$bottle_name" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | xargs) # Check if it contains "offline" if [[ "$normalized" == *offline* ]]; then echo "Processing: $file (Bottle: $bottle_name)" # Insert bwrap --unshare-net before %u or at end of Exec line sed -i \ -E "s|(Exec=.*com.usebottles.bottles run[^%]*)(-- )|\1-- bwrap --unshare-net |g" \ "$file" # Handle Exec lines without '-- ' separator sed -i \ -E "s|(Exec=.*com.usebottles.bottles run.*)|\1 bwrap --unshare-net|g" \ "$file" break fi done done echo "Done."Far from ideal solution, I'd hope for some pop-up for each permission apps would try to use (kinda like Android), also including Wine apps.

Terrible Steam Download Speeds?
Howdy all. I've ran into an issue that appears to be a recent problem that I have not experienced before. I have fiber internet, and my PC is hardwired. My windows Install gets a much better download speed on steam than on linux. I figured this was just a hoi4 workshop thing, as it's where I first noticed it, but it was present when downloading soul hackers as well.
I found a post here saying to disable http2 in the config file. It worked for about 30 seconds.
I'm using arch for a distro, with the native package from the repo. Windows is installed on the same hardware, on another drive that is identical hardware wise to my Linux drive.
In all my years of playing with Linux desktops, this issue is new to me. It's also new to me on this machine.

How to fix EA app???
on my steam deck, I have multiple EA games, but I can never play them offline because apparently I never clicked “stay logged in” when I first opened an EA game. this WOULD be an easy fix on my Windows PC where I would just be able to log out and log back in but this time I would actually click “stay logged in” but I can’t find the EA app for the life of me, no matter what I do the EA app does not show up on my desktop or in my Discover page. Can someone please help??

How is VR on linux?
With the upcoming steam frame, it makes me curious how VR is currently for things like the index, or the quest via steam link, can you mostly trouble free play beat saber?,VRChat? or is tinkering going to be largely required to make these things work, if at all
Terribly sorry if this is a stupid question
