Does anyone here play survivors-like roguelites on Linux? We’ve got a native demo for you!
Hey Linux gaming folks !
We’re the team behind NineLives, an survivors-like game currently in development.
From the very beginning, we’ve been working hard to support multiple PC platforms including macOS, Linux, and Steam Deck. While layers like Proton have made cross-platform support easier, our dev team has been focusing on native builds for better performance and stability.
We just released our first demo, and we’re excited to say that it includes a Linux version too!
So we wanted to drop by and share it here with the Linux gaming community.
Steam Demo Link : https://store.steampowered.com/app/3758770/Ember_and_Blade_Demo/
We’d love for you to give it a try—and of course, any feedback is super welcome!
And if you enjoy it, adding us to your wishlist would mean the world to us.
Thank you!

Recommendations on specs alongside new GPU
Hello. I have only built one pc in my life, which was when I graduated high school (about 9 years ago) and I ran that sucker basically into the ground. I recently bricked the motherboard on it by accidentally hitting the off switch on my power strip during a Windows update, and I took that as a sign from a higher power to get off the Windows 11 bus while I still could.
The natural first step was to buy a Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT. I figured best GPU within my budget and then build around it. Im aware that with it being a newer GPU I basically will need to manually configure the drivers, Mesa 25 junk and have a specific kernel requirement (im considering Linux Mint Cinnamon, so LM22, or some distro that uses KDE Plasma).
I am semi-ambivalent towards the rest of the machine, and was more or less looking for general recommendations and behavioral experiences on working with this specific card on Linux. Only real desire is to play Dota 2 at like, high graphics lol. I dont care about AI workloads and I dont need major production programs outside of like, the suite covered by LibreOffice, Davinci Resolve and OBS.

Can any of the Meta VR headsets work on Linux Mint?
I have my Rift S (Not a Meta headset but still kinda counts), so I was wondering if it's possible to use it in Linux. Will it work, or am I stuck to using only Windows for VR? I'll just install Linux Mint on a separate SSD anyway so I can dualboot.

Can i improve more my old ahh laptop? 2009, using t6600
Its my moms barely used laptop, only for radio, i wanted to optimize it for fun, I duel booted mint fxce and its way better than what it was on before, win 10, idk if i can expect more from it, testing games, i didnt even think it would run, but it did, example cs 1.6 in servers 20-40 fps depedns how many alive, minecraft with many optimzixations barely 25, well, at least youtube works way better on mint now, im using Midori browser, biggest problem perhaps not that its fps but dips and jumpy fps
so what else can i try to improve? i checked its running mesa 24 i think, im not to familiar with all these, theres wine and proton? could they improve it if i even can switch or are they just for diffrent games or smth?

PS4 controller doesn't works anymore on steam games (arch linux)
I used to play games such Cuphead with my PS4 controller on my computer (steam on arch linux), and it worked as well. But now after formatting it simply doesn't works on games anymore (only in menu). I already configured on settings but I don't have response yet.
I also tried "Enable" option on PlayStation Controller Support.I used to play games such Cuphead with my PS4 controller on my computer (steam on arch linux), and it worked as well.

I want to migrate to Linux, any recommendations?
Edit: THANK YOU SO MUCH! I now feel much more confident about migrating to Linux. I truly know the path I will take to enter this amazing world.
I've been thinking lately about switching to Linux because it seems that we can now play video games more easily than ever before, and it looks like this is just the beginning. I used Mint a while ago and I fell in love with it! My PC didn't have the requirements to download any games (it didn't even have a graphics card lmao) so I didn't have much trouble using Linux. Now that I can play titles such as Elden Ring and God of War, I had to use Windows 11, but I still need Linux in my life.
I'm worried that migrating to Linux won't allow me to play video games I've bought or will buy in the future. I'm also learning how to use the Adobe Suite, and I believe these apps cannot be used on Linux. Is there a way I can fully migrate to Linux without dual-booting Linux and Windows?
I'm open to install any distro for the best experience, even if I should use open source alternatives.
Thank you all!

GPU Issues in Wuchang – Pixelated Character Skin & Shadows
Hey everyone, I’m having some weird graphical issues in Wuchang on Linux and could use some troubleshooting help. Character skin and shadows appear heavily pixelated. The problem worsens when moving the character or turning the camera. Changing in-game GPU settings (Low/Med/High) doesn’t fix it.
I've posted screenshot of both extreme preset (1st picture) and low preset (2nd picture). I had a few friends stream to me and they do not have this issue at all with their amd cards, they are running on windows however. I have no idea what is going on and I have never had an issue remotely similar to this. I've tried every conceivable setting combination in game and nothing is getting ride of this weird pixelated look. FSR seems to make it worse than TSR as well.
Here’s my setup:
- GPU: AMD Vega 56
- OS: Fedora (latest kernel)
- Mesa Drivers: Up to date
- Proton Versions Tried:
- Proton-GE 10-10
- Latest UMU Proton

Trying to install Bazzite
My first instillation I accidentally installed Bazzite across all 3 of my SSDs thinking it’d let me choose my primary boot drive and wipe the others. I am stuck in an infinite boot to my desktop. When I try to reinstall it will not let me select the drive to delete or install. Any help would be appreciated.

Vapor - A Cyberpunk 2077 CLI mod manager for Linux
Hello all! A couple days ago I started getting into modding Cyberpunk on my computer. I have a Steam Deck that I also have modded, but I started modding that before developing Vapor, and I realized pretty quickly that there really is no Linuxy mod manager for Cyberpunk, so I thought I'd make my own!
It's pretty bare bones for now, and I will be adding more features in the future!

Weird graphical glitch on Fall of Avalon
I'm experiencing MASSIVE jagged edges and very un-smooth color grading. Fall of Avalon is the only game it happens on.
This only happens with lighting, textures are just fine and the effect is even more pronounced on areas with fog. Is this a common issue with Unity made games on linux, or is this a unique situation?

My first ever gaming PC is Linux
After 2 months of my first-time install of Nobara, I can finally say I KNOW linux. Lutris, for example, is great for uniting different sources, such as Steam and the "alternative" sources (you know what I mean with that). And the best part, it actually isn't that hard to learn. I've spent only two days after to first bootup to start playing and install each game I've dreamed of. So, behold, my Lutris library 😁.

[Help] Mortal Kombat 11 - Fereastră transparentă la lansare pe Fedora (Hybrid Graphics: AMD + NVIDIA)
https://reddit.com/link/1m8c5n8/video/5ob2zy937vef1/player
Hello everyone,
I'm seeking help with an issue I'm facing while trying to run Mortal Kombat 11 on my Fedora system.
The Problem: When I launch the game via Steam using Proton-GE, the game window opens but is completely transparent. I can hear the game's audio and menu sounds, which indicates it's running in the background, but nothing is rendered visually. Occasionally, after several launch attempts, the game's custom cursor will appear on screen, but the rest of the window remains transparent.
System & Hardware:
- OS: Fedora Rawhide cu GNOME
- Hardware: Laptop cu grafică hibridă:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen (cu iGPU Radeon)
- dGPU: NVIDIA
- Compatibility Layer: Proton-EM
My Goal: I want to fix the rendering issue and ensure the game utilizes my dedicated NVIDIA GPU for the best performance. These are the Steam launch options I am trying to use:
ENABLE_LSFG=1 LSFG_MULTIPLIER=4 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WINE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%Specific Questions:
- How can I resolve the transparent window bug so the game renders correctly?
- What is the correct way to ensure the game uses the dedicated NVIDIA GPU on a hybrid graphics setup?
Any advice or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help!Hello everyone,I'm seeking help with an issue I'm facing while trying to run Mortal Kombat 11 on my Fedora system.The Problem:

A little psx style mystery game I made on Linux! Need help marketing!
Stack smashing error when launching Source games (TF2, CS2)
Hey everyone,
A while ago I made a post about my NVidia card not supporting Vulkan. This is resolved with my new (amazing) AMD 580. Other games, like Minecraft and Terraria, run great.
However, when I try to load Team Fortress 2 or CS2, it says "running..." in Steam before quitting without having opened a new window. I get Stack Smashing errors in terminal. Does anyone have any idea on how to resolve that on my OS/with my specs? TF2 used to run (albeit very shitty) on my GTX570 with legacy drivers. CS2 gave a black screen with a DirectX11 error. Conventional solutions I have read about online like verifying files, re-installing, using launch arguments and using different versions of Proton did not work.
If more details are required I am happy to provide.

Windows 11 Vs Linux Gaming
So I've done a lot of work on my desktop PC... I started with a pre-built G10CE (don't ever buy) it was a good price vs the cost of parts. So it came with a i5 11400F, 16GB 3200Mhz JEDEC ram, 512gb WD SN530, RTX 3060 12gb card.... in the past few months I replaced the ram with 32gb xpg had to get a modded bios to allow xmp, replaced the case with something with actual cooling, upgraded the 500w PSU to a 650w, got rid of the 3060 and got a 6700 non xt 10gb card, SNV3 Kingston SSD, New CPU cooler.Anyways I have been back and forth between CachyOS (arch based linux) and Bazzite (Fedora based linux) for several months before I switched to an AMD GPU. I figured I would take it upon myself to do a Windows 11 vs Bazzite (I did it cause it's one of the easiest linux OS's for the average person to install and use) for gaming. Here is the outcome, I did a video on it as well but this is the bargraphs with the outcome.
