EDIT: It was a issue with firejail. When i completely disabled firejail it booted

• Im on arch and running a AMD gpu & cpu
• I installed the hardened kernel (if that affects this)
• catting the version file for this game returns this "10.1000-200"
• I used ext4 for my partitions
• Im also running firejail and apparmor but the game does not boot with --noprofile so it should not affect this and also other games like marvel rivals work fine

Looking at other sites related to protonDB and ghost recond wildlands it apparently used to work but a recent patch broke this. Would this be correct?

5600x3d+3070ti - I have a single core pinned at 100%, but my overall CPU usage is 30% and my GPU is at 40%. Is this just the games design or a setting I might need to mess with?

My controller is a Turtle beach REMATCH Core, TBC-2001-95. When i plugged it in to my Linux Mint PC, the controller vibrated, but the light above the XBox button will not light up. I tried plugging it into different USB ports, no luck. I tried all the steps in the following guide, but no progress at all:

https://www.siberoloji.com/how-to-set-up-gaming-controllers-with-cinnamon-desktop-on-linux-mint/

This is what I get when I run the utility mentioned in the guide:

The guide didn't mention having to reboot the PC. Any ideas?

I really want to move away from Windows and considered switching to AMD for an upgrade since it works well with Linux but did more research and seems like a 5070Ti/5080 is a far better purchase, especially since I use an LG C5 as my main monitor that only has HDMI 2.1.

Was curious how Nvidia performs on Linux and if the switch is still viable.

https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/96 I want to download mods for Cyberpunk 2077 but want to have a mod manager for peace of mind (particularly with it helping automatically sort with a load order). From my understanding, generally, the best mod manager for games are their dedicated ones. Would this mod manager be good to use?

I'm also curious if this mod manager would work on Linux, as I use Bazzite (an offshoot of Fedora. It's akin to the Steam Deck's OS).

Recently I got the urge to go back to this game, and I've had a heck of a time trying to get it working. At first I was getting an error about DX11 needing to be at level 10.0 to use the engine, then I figured out I could force proton 5.0 to get it to say "Fatal Error" instead. Finally, I can launch the game if I use `PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command` in launch options, but it looks like this no matter what Proton version I use. Anyone here had any luck with this game? My GPU is an AMD RX 6700 XT and I am running on Arch Linux.

I want to make a post about my experience switching to Linux as a previous long-term Windows user, to both praise the incredible effort of the Linux community, and so that I have something I can refer to if someone is unsure about the process. This is long, so skip to the end if you want a TLDR.

I've used Windows since 3.11. My gaming journey on PC only really began with Windows 95, however. I remember playing Diablo 2, Starcraft, Total Annihilation, Half-Life and Unreal. Back then installing a graphics card, or even getting peripherals (controllers, joysticks or even printers) to work properly was an ordeal unto itself. That was before USB. Back then we had serial ports. Installation for drivers (or all software for that matter) came on Floppys or CDs. The internet was brand new, and with the speeds on dial-up (~6 kB/s on a 56k modem), you weren't ever going to download bigger software packages. 16 MB RAM was a lot, but you needed that for your sick Pentium 2 with 300 MHz. You also needed to upgrade your hardware every year, because things were advancing fast.

Why am I saying all that? Because I remember the evolution of software, having lived it, I expected to take a step back into the past when switching to Linux. Everything I had read of and heard about (although admittedly, I never seriously pursued the topic) led me to believe that Linux was functional if you knew what you were doing, but janky and liable to break. Games could work, if they were older, or with some patience and fiddling on your end. Because you were essentially emulating a Windows environment, you should expect noticeable performance hits regardless.

In December 2024 I had finally had enough of Microsoft, and I decided to risk all of that with a full, cold switch to Linux, full time. At the beginning of my winter break I built a brand new system and didn't order a Windows license. I expected to spend most of my break getting Linux set up, becoming familiar with the OS and installing my peripherals. I wasn't planning on doing any serious gaming, except perhaps to see if it could work in theory.

I spent a lot of time researching the different Linux versions - because I needed something with a fast update cycle for my new hardware - and finally landed on openSuse as a compromise between cutting edge and ease of use. Installation via GUI was simple and quick, although I had some issues with drive formatting and partitioning, due to my inexperience. I did spend the rest of that evening learning how to get my second drive to automatically mount, but at the end of the day I had fully working, up-to-date version of openSuse Tumbleweed running on my computer.

I expected the next day to be painful slog, fighting to get peripherals properly installed and somehow changing the LED settings on both keyboard and motherboard. Five minutes of googling led me to OpenRGB, which was immediately capable to controlling all relevant LEDs. The gamepad was plug and play. Brother provided a Linux driver for my printer, which could be installed via script. And most surprisingly for me, my wireless USB headset was equally plug and play, allowing easy switching via the volume control. At this point I was beginning to realize that my preconceptions were completely wrong.

I have now used Linux for nearly a year. New games have worked flawlessly. The proton compatibility layer, and WINE as well, have just been... easy to use. If some game does not work, it's usually a question of switching proton versions. Valve has really pushed ease of use, and it has clearly paid off with the steam deck. The only games that don't seem to work are those that require kernel level anti-cheat. I want to stress again, I have literally not run into a single game that does not work (though I usually don't play multiplayer games). I can't speak to performance changes, since my new hardware is significantly more powerful, and I also upgraded resolution from 1080p to 1440p. I have not had poor gaming performance, however.

That said, it is not perfect. Scanning a file as pdf with the printer gives you an image file, with no text selectable. That also increases the file size footprint. It's annoying, but not insurmountable. As with most things, there are likely workarounds I am not aware of. Due to the fast update cycle, bugs are sometimes introduced. The latest one moved desktop symbols from my main monitor to my secondary monitor after each reboot (KDE Plasma desktop). That has since been fixed. Steam wants to recompile shaders for games constantly. You can just turn that off without noticeable repercussions, but you have to know about it in the first place. All of these issues have one thing in common: they are relatively minor. Worth mentioning, but not obsessing over. These are, I now believe, the issues you are warned about when switching. And I think the tone I often hear when referring to Linux ("Linux is great, most things just work, BUT...") vastly overempathizes these warnings. Because Windows has issues too.

I am extremely happy with my switch to Linux. It is a far cry from the jank I expected when I first began this journey one year ago. Today I installed Tumbleweed on my new laptop, and then connected a PS4 controller via Bluetooth. My history with computing informs me that this task is nontrivial, requiring specific, working drivers for both the bluetooth device and the PS4 controller. I didn't need to take any extra actions to make it work, and that's pretty fucking cool.

TLDR: Old man switches to Linux, is geriatrically surprised. Linux gaming is in an amazing spot. Ease of use is incredible. I expected lots of issues that never materialized. Instead of a lengthy acclimatization period, was fully up and running the next day. Never switching back to Windows. fastfetch of system

I have an external drive. Ext4 format and automounts. Shows up in steam storage options. I can install to and play games from it with no issues what so ever. The only holdup is no desktop icons. I can go to the drive and make a link from the exe file in the game folder and it works but doesn't have the game icon. Right clicking in steam library and making a desktop icon does nothing. It's not a huge deal but does anybody know how to get this working? This is the only part of the whole process I can't find any information online for.

Edit: Using Kubuntu 24.04 so KDE. Creating desktop icons happens automatically for games installed on main drive and the add shortcut from steam library works for them.

In short when I use the steam controller it works flawlessly on the desktop or in steam games, but as soon as the Geforce Now (proton app from flathub) is launched it stops working. Any input.

I tried installing Geforce Now as an external steam game and force launch with steam overlay mapping whatever on/off but still nothing

I’m on the latest version of Fedora KDE plasma. Everything up to date, controller and dongle drivers ok yada yada I tried all the troubleshooting thing that I could find online

I found this possible related issue: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8681

And this https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/proton-controller-support-broken-in-the-last-few-days/11824

But they are pretty old so I assume there has been some fix or workaround by now

Valve put up a Release Candidate for testing Proton 10.0-4, what will become the main version of the Windows compatibility layer for Linux / SteamOS.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

I'm ready to install Steam and get to gaming, but I just read there are 2 ways to install Steam:

1. The default software manager.
2. Valve's APT repository.

Which is the best way to do so? I know I sound like a noob for asking (it's probably because I AM a Linux noob), I just want to be sure.

Edit: Forgot to mentin, I'm rocking Linux Mint .

Hi everyone, I have an ASUS TUF F15 and I'm interested in using Bazzite. Is there a way to get something similar to Armory Crate? I'm only interested in the performance profiles. P.D: Sorry if there are any mistakes, I'm using Google Translate

So, fresh install of Bazzite. At first I thought it was an OS/GPU problem but it appears that only CP2077 is being problematic.

I get pretty much the same performance in any settings (~25fps) be it for low settings without RT or ultra with RT. both CPU and GPU are barely being used. CPU sits at 10-15% while GPU depends on the settings (up to 50%-60% with RT Ultra).

Behaviour looks like a CPU bottleneck since I can increase GPU load and graphic settings without loosing any frames, except the damn CPU is sitting under 20% the whole time. I tried several in-game option such as SMT on, off and auto without much change.

Software :

Bazzite 43 KDE Plasma 6.4.5 Nvidia drivers 580.95.05 Proton : several version (GE-proton, Proton Experimental, Proton 10, Proton 9) CP2077 v2.31

Hardware :

Ryzen 9 5900x RTX3080 Asus Strix 10Go OC 64Go DDR4 3600Mhz Gigabyte b550 Aorus Elite AX submitted by /u/zer0isnotnull
