Ladies and gentlemen, I am happy to announce (if nobody did it before) that Valve finally fixed the wayland version and the game is running the same as windows and xorg natively at wayland environment.

I want to formally apologize for a recent post that some of you may have seen called "Stop Killing Our Operating Systems." It was not only very poorly written, but a plain disgrace to any community who got it sent to them. I wrote something very opinionated and with very bad representation, in a way that read like it was meant to be factual. It was irresponsible to post as people who could have taken the post most seriously (Not that they really would though, it was really bad). I know I angered some people in the Linux community with my post. It wasn't my intention to rage bait or anything, it was just a really dumb decision, with very dumb writing, and I was definitely way above my britches, especially for a first post. I also replied to critiquing in a very inappropriate way, trying to justify what I had written when there was nothing to justify. I do not want a welcoming back into the subreddit or anything, that is something I will have to earn by doing better in the future, but I wanted to write something to apologize.

If you were really interested in the broad concept I had, I did make a heavy revision today with nothing but my words to try and make a mense, but for the sake of feeding more stuff onto this subreddit that doesn't really belong, I have not posted it here. It's just a post on my account. You are under no obligation to look, and I don't ask that you to look at it. Thank you for your time.

I've tried switching between several different official and GE Proton releases, as well as several different Mesa versions and the game just refuses to launch. It will only throw up a black screen for a few seconds then crash. The bizarre thing is that Vol 1 of the collection launches and plays just fine on the same system, so I don't know what the difference is here that is causing problems.

Hey guys,

I just switch to fedora kde as my first time on linux so this is most likely because I didn't set something up properly. I'm trying to play for honor. It opens up ubisoft connect and then the loading screen before it goes into the full game but closes before actually getting into the game. Has anyone experienced something like this before and how have you solved it?

I'm using proton experimental and my hardware is a ryzen 9600x and an intel b580

steam just recently has started saying there is no controller connected in games and just when im sitting on the library screen. i dont know what started it or what caused it but its interfering with my game play and causing me to lose the ability to control my game. i use endeavouros and hyprland. i saw a steam fourm post saying that their razer mouse caused this but i tried everything there and i dont have a razer mouse. here is the post: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/3812910932500606630/ .

i have a logitech g502x lightspeed if that makes any difference.

thanks for any ideas

Hello, I have two drives. One on which I have my windows installed, as well as all my FL Studio plugins, as well as other programs, and a second disk, where I keep all my games installed. I've been thinking of installing Linux on the second disk, but I'd also want to keep it for gaming, mainly Linux, though I'd assume there'd be that one odd multiplayer game which I cannot run on linux there. Is this doable? And if so, could someone provide a few tips on how to do it. Also, fully switching to Linux is just not doable for me as I'm a producer, and I also wouldn't want to trade that one game that I might want to play someday.

Hey Linux gamers!
After 3 months of intense work I’ve just released my very first game – The Secret of Velmora.
It’s not your typical low‑poly indie – this is a cinematic first‑person adventure with a strong story focus, built with AAA‑style visuals in Unreal Engine 5.

And yes – it’s fully native for Linux (no Proton/Wine) and also available for Windows.
Recommended: A decent GPU (RTX or AMD equivalent) to enjoy the visuals as intended.

🎮 Free demo download:
https://mystic-caravan.itch.io/the-secret-of-velmora

💬 Wishlist on Steam (awaiting release approval):
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3884110/The_Secret_of_Velmora/

⚡ Native Linux gaming deserves more love – would be great to hear your feedback from the Linux side of the world! ❤️🐧

Right now I have a low-end laptop and I want to download a Linux distro on it. But I want it to start in desktop environment and when I want to play some lightweight games I press do a soft reset and open steam big picture, so all resource of the laptop will be used just for the game.

Like it is a desktop first and gaming mode second

Has any distro done it or there is a guide to do it?

I am playing bedrock 1.24.x atm, i have a """forever world""" where i couldn't get achievements for some reason so why not enable cheats and set keepinventory anyway. Today i made a new world to test this, i did not enable cheats nor experiments yet i don't get any achievements at all.

I still have the microsoft user profile tab achievements tho.

When I have a full-day session with opened Vesktop, Steam, and Cookie Clicker, my RAM usage goes up to 11 GB, and Proton takes 5 GB of RAM.

It's normally or nah?

Proton Experimental, Arch linux.

Hey folks,

I'm running Fedora 42 KDE (Plasma 6.4.3) with Wayland on a Ryzen 7 5700X3D and an AMD RX 7600 XT.
Everything was working fine until very recently — and then CS2 decided to break itself.

Until yesterday (28/07), CS2 ran just fine under Wayland with Steam Overlay working normally. I didn't change anything on my system or update Steam manually, but overnight, the Steam Overlay completely stopped showing up in CS2.
Overlay still works in other games like Brawlhalla, using the same Proton version (I tested Proton 8.0, Experimental, GE, etc). So it’s not a Proton-wide issue.

What I tried:

• Verified game files
• Checked Steam Overlay is enabled (globally + per-game)
• Switched video modes (fullscreen, windowed, borderless)
• Tried several Proton versions (8.0, Experimental, GE)
• Cleared shadercache and compatdata for app ID 730
• Waited for Vulkan shaders to finish compiling
• Tested gamemoderun %command%
• Clean boot under Wayland — no effect

I installed plasma-workspace-x11 and kwin-x11 to log into an X11 session and test if the overlay would come back.

Result: Yes, Steam Overlay works again in CS2 under X11
BUT CS2 completely broke ultrawide resolution support (my native resolution is 2560x1080 @ 21:9). Even with launch options like:

-w 2560 -h 1080 -aspectratio 21:9 -fullscreen

…the game refuses to render properly — it's either stretched or pillarboxed to 16:9, no matter the display mode.
So I uninstalled plasma-workspace-x11 and went back to Wayland, where the resolution is still broken

Anyone else with an ultrawide and CS2 running into this? Any idea what changed?
Would love to know if someone has a working setup with Steam Overlay + 21:9 resolution in CS2 under Wayland or X11.

Thanks in advance!
