I've been playing around with an old computer running Linux so I can transfer my main PC to the system (I use Zorin, if that matters). So far, I haven't had any major problems, but I haven't been able to get RPGMaker games that aren't on Steam or Itch to work.

I downloaded Ib to try Lutris. I used the option to install a local game, and the RPGMaker file had no problems, but the game wouldn't open. So I replaced the executable file with the game file, and... it just exploded. I got a message saying “implementation error,” and 215 windows opened with the problem.

What can I do?

I am posting here in the linux gaming, because it seems a bit less intimidating than the regular linux forum.

I am a fairly competent computer user, I have been using Windows and MacOS for 20 years. Now my fairly decent workstation will not upgrade to windows 11, I don't want to switch out the motherboard and I don't love windows (I don't hate it either) so I want to try to install Linux on that computer.

I do some gaming on it, mainly with my Steam library, but -more importantly- I need to be able to keep working on my computer. I am an artist and I mainly work with Blender, Davinci Resolve, Reaper and Brave Browser or Firefox for anything online.

I am fairly competent, I know my way around windows and MacOS and sometimes help other people figure out problems with their computers...HOWEVER... My very limited experience with Linux has been a painful one. I installed it on my mom's old computer many years ago and while I realize that there is a learning curve to everything...Having to troubleshoot every aspect of the computer, wifi, sound, etc. tried my patience.

SO I HUMBLY ASK THIS COMMUNITY.

Where should I begin as a person that just wants to work on their computer, update their programs occasionally, update their graphics driver, work with midi devices etc. I am a person that has no interest in tinkering with the OS.

What will be the least painful experience for me?

Is there a distro or project that will not make me flip the table and buy a new windows computer?

Perhaps important info:

- I have an nvidia graphics card
- I usually use an external sound card (Audient or Zoom usually),
- I need to be able to import/export a variety of video codecs

IS THERE HOPE FOR A NOOB?

I play games that have "farming" where I don't need to interact with the game for a period of time. If I switch away, the games seems to slow down considerably. Sounds play at normal speed but are spaced farther out and switching back to the game shows that it has been running much more slowly than it does when focused.

I thought this might be an issue of the process getting re-niced when in the background but top shows NI 0. This behavior did not occur on Windows last time I booted that. Some of the games are on their own Linux launchers, others are in steam but all seem affected.

I have Wayland/KDE and I'm starting to think it might be something Wayland does. Does anyone else know about this issue and what can be done to correct it. Googling isn't turning up anything relevant.

Hi. I've moved to Linux Mint for half a year now and so far I've had a great experience. However, there are some games I miss that can't be played on Linux because of anti-cheat.

I was planning to do dual-booting with a new drive, but since I'm on a laptop (please don't bully me) I can't add any new internal drives. So I wanted to ask, is using a external drive would be a good idea? Could it be insecure or have bad performance?

No matter what I do, the controller doesnt show up in the bluetooth menu or in Bluetoothctl. When I connect the pro controller with USB-C, steam recognizes the controller but inputs dont work.

Hello guys, i´ve been trying to get my settup going on Linux Mint and Linux Fedora, but i always get stuck in the same spot, blackscreen or the OS doesnt load (crashes and needs to be reebooted from the case), tried using amdgpu.dc 0 and nomodeset to check on the possible causes, and came to the next conclusion,
(loading the gpu kernel seems to crash the system the amdgpu.dc in specific)
not loading the graphical drivers lets the pc run.

Other users reported similar problems with this GPU reporting the amdgpu version or the linux kernel version may be having conflicts. (i´ve already tried backrolling to linux kernel 6.8.x and 6.7.x and 6.6.x , no results)
As no other options on forums helped to fix the problem i decided to switch back to w10 in the mean time.
And to top it off, it seems like it seems that i need to upgrade my whole system just to use linux (thing that i thought was not a need when using any linux distro, but the forums keep telling me it might be some kind of kernel problem with older gpus like mine)
This is the info of my system if you´d like to check on that.

Mobo TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING
Mobo ver. Rev X.0x
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
GPU Radeon RX580 2048SP

Secure boot and the other options in my mobo are ticked off, and just now used revision tool to debloat w10 in case some weird thing in windows was messing with the linux partition, i have not tried installing linux again after using the revision tool.

So im heavily thinking about moving to linux for gaming. I just have a couple of questions. I also dont know much about Linux so please be patient with me. 1. What's the best distro for gaming mostly. 2. I use amd adrenaline screenshot and replay a lot to send pictures and videos of games to friends what are alternatives to this because i know the adrenaline software isnt on linux. 3. I use gog and steam for 99% of my gaming and epic games for the free games I know gog and epic doesnt have native support whats the best way to get those launchers working on linux. 4. I have an ultrawide oled monitor does ultrawide and hdr work. 5. Are there any msi afterburner alternatives because seeing my fps in every game is very important to me. 6. I also have a 5.1 surround sound system that I use. Does that work and if it does would it require extra steps to setup.

I really wanna try linux out because Microsoft and windows fucking blows but it feels like its the only thing i can use. Thank yall for the help and depending on the answers to my questions I might give linux and try and hopefully stay on linux.

I have an intel 12700k and an amd 6950xt so I think ill be ok specs wise.

This game was running perfectly on my steam deck just recently. I was having issues with Lego Island so I tried updating Lutris. now Zoombinis won't work anymore! It keeps saying the CD-ROM isn't in the drive. I used to be able to go to wine settings, add a drive, point it at the CD rip, and set the type to "CD". That doesn't work anymore! And I can't find old versions of Lutris from older than 2024. Was there a change in management? What happened?
