Hello, I installed Bottles flatpak on Arch and wanted to test it, but the error tells me that it was unable to create bottle due to Microsoft Arial font installation being failed.

I had to avoid Lutris after being discovered it was coded with AI, meanwhile Faugus Launcher didn't let me alt tab to NFS Underground 2 after screenshotting my cars. Any solution is appreciated. Thanks.

I play at 5120x1440 which is close to 4K in terms of computational demand and looking at 4K benchmarks on youtube many others with my specs below are getting 100+ FPS on Windows in most scenes whereas I can barely maintain a stable 60 in the game even on low-medium settings on Linux. Anyone know why my performance is so gimped? Is the game not running well on Proton?

• OS: Arch
• CPU: AMD 7800x3D
• RAM: 32 GB 6000 mhz
• GPU: RTX 5090
• Proton Version: GE-Proton10-33 (latest, afaik)

If anyone has any ideas let me know.

My google-fu is strong, but I can't find a definite report of either of these working in Linux. It's a wired device... I don't know if that means it will just use Xinput and work; the 'xone' project on github (https://github.com/medusalix/xone) leads me to believe recent Xbox peripherals are not always a sure thing.

Or maybe it's just wireless devices... I have no idea and can't test. (A good test might be... does anyone have a Xbox Series X|S controller that works fine in Linux wired, without using any of the extended github projects?)

Only report I can find is some guy couldn't get his PS5 version working in Steam. (https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1pl9cs1/getting_hori_alpha_to_recognize_within_steam/)

Devices in question:

Hori Fighting Stick alpha PS5

Hori Fighting Stick alpha Xbox Series X|S

Thanks for any input.

I made a psychological horror game where you learn real Linux commands

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a small indie game called **Infrastructure #674**.

It’s a psychological horror game where the player explores a mysterious infrastructure terminal and slowly uncovers the truth behind a rogue AI.

The twist is that the game teaches real Linux-style commands while you play.

You interact with the system using commands like:

help
scan
connect
ls
cat
decrypt

As the investigation progresses the system starts reacting to the player and strange glitches begin to appear.

The idea is to combine:
- terminal hacking gameplay
- psychological horror
- learning Linux basics

I’d love to get feedback from developers and players.

What do you think about the concept?
Would you play something like this?

If anyone wants to test it I can share the build.

So I was using Sober on my steamdeck as usual, but the arrow key stopped working correctly. They started just moving me or the camera slightly in one direction instead of what they were supposed to do. I tried factory reset and it worked for a short time just for the issue to appear again.

hjkl to fly, : for command mode. No controller needed.

:god and :auto together make it practically fly itself.
Procedural terrain and city stage, both infinite.

I tried asking steam support for help, but apparently Steam for Linux is not supported on the version I'm using (Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit). They basically told I have to rely on the community, so here I am.

I seem to have 2 different ge-proton installed. One managed by Heroic, the other directly into the ~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/ folder for use with Steam. Can Heroic and Steam comfortably share the same install and therefore can I just symlink from ~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/ to the Heroic ge-proton installation?

It's either not enough space or that Qt plugin error which doesn't even let me launch the game. This is all so very annoying.

I can get the game to launch but the framerate is unplayably low. I looked around but can't find any solution. It's the gog version and I'm on bazzite.

Edit: it also gets stuck loading at various points depending on which version of wine/proton I'm using

I decided to try osu, since I already have a tablet (xppen star 03 v2), I installed linux vesion of osu (appimage), everything is setup, but it doesn't detect a tablet. I've learned that for osu I need OTD, which I installed, but it also doesn't detect my tablet I suspect it is because my driver from xppen conflicts with it and maybe fedora kde's tablet driver. So how do I go about setup, I've started by using ai to help, but then chickened out and reverted back fearing that it'll fuck up my tablet or just make some tangled mess of problems. I've installed OTD from website not from flathub

Currently using windows 11 enterprise LTSC.. Although I'm worried about how much data microsoft takes from me without my knowledge. I'm thinking to switch to linux but, I've had very bad experience in the past with linux due to my old hardware I had which caused bad driver support..

I mainly use windows for gaming on my pc that's all. Don't plan on using anything else as of rn.. Also I play a few games so it might be easier to me on linux? Idk, I'll list down my laptop specifications which I use to play games aswell as the games..

Valorant (this wouldn't run and I'm fine with it) Bloodstrike (by netease games I need this to run) Kovaaks (This is what I mostly play and I need this to run) Minecraft 1.8 ( this will run cause opengl.)

Let me know which distros are good for me.

And how do I make these games run.

My laptop specifications.

Ryzen 5 5625u

16gb ddr4 (single channel)

vega 7 (apu)

512 ssd..

No idea if vega7 has good driver support on linux and if I'll have performance impact or no comparing to windows.

Any help will be appreciated

Does anyone know of a tool/environment variable I can use to scale the mouse sensitivity that goes into a steam game (we can assume Proton is involved)? Some games have really dumb sensitivity options (like integer sensitivities where the sweet spot is a really low number and a 1 point change is a lot).

Hi I'm unable to launcher these 2 games (planning on test it on Most Wanted and Carbon too) in Bottles (not the flatpak version).

Used Proton GE 7.30 because I heard the latest Proton GE didnt work at all. Running CachyOS on my PC.

What caused the issue? Because few months ago it its able to run pro street, then I left my pc for months (and then updating them). Already remaking the prefix from scratch but still doest work.
