cs2 4:3 error vulkan
I know most people with Vulkan encounter the problem of not being able to set it to 4:3, whether on Windows or Linux. Well, I managed to do it on Bazzite. You just have to put the game in windowed mode and then add this to the Steam executable's properties: -w 1280 -h 960. Then switch to windowed fullscreen mode and exit. After that, change the result to this: -w 1440 -h 1050. The game will then automatically interpret it as 1440x1080p.

frame gen is the worst thing to happen to protondb
I used to use protondb to see how a game would run on steam deck, but now the site is basically unusable because every review is just thumbs up, perfect 40 FPS with LSFG, 1 hour on record.

What file system to set separate hard drives when dualbooting Windows and Linux?
I am currently dualbooting CachyOS and Windows 10. I haven't booted into Windows 10 almost at all since installing CachyOS on my other SSD, but I keep it because I have friends that like to play games like Valorant or Apex.
I've got 3 other drives in my system, one is an NVMe SSD for games that need faster speeds, one for videos that I like to edit, and another game drive. Is there a file system I could put them on or is it fine to keep them on NTFS? I've been extremely worried about this because I know my drives could get corrupted and thats not a risk I wanna take with how much stuff I have built up other the years.

Heavys h1h headphones
Anyone tried these on Linux for gaming? They sell an add-on cable to add a mic, but it uses a 3.5mm splitter and the just time I tried to use one of those it failed spectacularly on Linux mint.

No more windows 11
Xbox wired controller KCD2 not working
Is there a common issue with controller not working in this game? Playing on Cachy os if that makes a difference. Controller works in any other game. Playing on Steam.

Did Everyone Forget Why We Hated Valve and Steam?
Okay, actually given it was in 2004, most of you probably weren't born then, or at least not old enough to game. But with the current love for Valve and the anger at the UK government for suing them, I feel it's worth remembering what Valve actually did, and that it in fact became what it is today, by doing the exact kind of evil thing we hate so many others for.
Back in 2004, Half Life 2 was of course one of the most anticipated games ever made. And Valve knew that. So what did they do? Just before the game was released, they announced that to play the game you would be REQUIRED to install their new digital distribution service, Steam.
Even if you bought the DVD edition, it wouldn't matter, you'd need to sign up, sign in and even download most of the files again anyway for a day 1 patch. And there would be no offline activation, for a single player game.
No one wanted a digital games store, and the idea that digital game were going to be the SAME price as physical games was an affront to all gamers globally.
Yet we all wanted Half Life 2, and so like a backdoor, a trojan piece of malware, millions were forced to install Steam against their will, just to play the DVD version of Half Life 2 they bought in a store.
We loved the game, it was amazing, but we HATED Valve and we HATED Steam. And it only got worse when they betrayed us all by again lying, claim they will make a three part episodic expansion for Half Life 2, the first two parts of which were awesome... and then they left it on a cliffhanger, never finishing it, no longer caring about games, because their digital distribution scam (as most gamers saw it) was taking over and more profitable than actually making a good game.
So after everything, we paid for two game DLCs on the promise of a full story, and never even got that.
I get that Valve has done great things for Linux since, but lets not forget, they are still an evil big tech company, who started becoming valuable, through the usual evil tactics of big tech companies. And now, people forget that we never got a discount for digital games vs physical copies. Or any of the rest.
So while I am normally against EVERYTHING the UK government do. Do I really care if valve loses countless billions? No at all.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Still Committed To Linux 6.20~7.0 Even If Not Finalized For Release Time
Open-Source Nova Driver In Linux 7.0 Continues Preparing For NVIDIA Turing GPU Support
Native steam vs flathub
Steam wiped some hard drives back in the day with accidental rm -rf /*, more than 10 years now, here's a video about it too. More recently there is this open issue that steam sets every single file's executable bit in its root path for anyone (u,g,o). You can check this by going to your steam install path e.g., ~/.local/share/Steam and running:
find . -type f -executable | wc -l
You will likely see a big number, depending on how many games you have installed in that directory. This doesn't have to be a big "security risk" or whatever but it just makes me wonder about the native vs flatpak question. If I can sandbox steam itself, don't lose any performance over it too, why go for the native version?

Full screen on a game then alt tabbing
Whenever I fullscreen (f11) a game, I tend to alt tab to another application. But when I do, it kind of stops responding to mouse clicks. I can't right click, left click, scroll, etc., but the game still works perfectly fine. How do I solve this?

GOG finally calling Linux the 'next major frontier' is the validation we've been waiting for. The year of Desktop Linux Gaming is actually here.
With GOG working on a native client and Steam Deck's massive success, it feels like the barrier between Windows and Linux for gamers is finally disappearing. Which game are you most excited to play natively on Linux this year?

Trying to move default installation folder for steam (to folder on same drive). Nothing seems to work
I am new to Linux Mint to a computer that will have different users.
I installed steam and want to move the default installation folder to /opt/steamlibrary/ to avoid having multiple installs for large games in each user's home directory.
When I go to Steam | Settings | Storage I see that the default installation folder is /home/riftwave77/.steam/debian-installation
There are two Items listed as on disk:
Steam Linux Runtime 2.0 (soldier)
Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout)
When I click the drop down arrow just to the right, select "Add Drive" and then navigate to /opt/steamlibrary and click "Select" it does not add this folder as a location.
What am I doing wrong?

Petition: Enable Vanguard Support for Linux or Remove the Requirement
Hi everyone!
I started a petition on Change.org regarding the current state of League of Legends on Linux.
Ideally, I want to ditch Windows entirely, but LoL is the only thing keeping me tethered to this "bloatware" system. It’s frustrating that Mac users are allowed to play League without Vanguard restrictions, yet Linux users are completely locked out. This proves it's possible to allow gameplay without the kernel-level requirement.
I know petitions are a long shot, but I believe it's worth a try to show Riot Games that there is a demand for this. We deserve the same treatment as MacOS users.
If you want to see LoL playable on Linux again, please consider signing and sharing.

Thanks for the support!

Performance issues Palworld and 9070xt
Hello, I have built a new pc with a ryzen 7 9700x and a 9070xt. I'm trying to run palworld but it's running extremely slow for this hardware. I checked the driver and I am indeed using radv with the latest mesa (25.3.4). I am getting 50 FPS at 4K with low details, in fullscreen mode. I've tried using GE Proton but it didn't work. Is there a known issue with rdna 4 cards and this game? The GPU use is at 100% and mangohud says its throttling power at 317w (it's sapphire pure so it's right). Do you have any idea on what's going on?
