So there is an issue where car wraps in need for speed unbound appear in the right side of the car as fully black without me changing the colour or anything. Is there any known fix for it? I have noticed others have this issue too but I couldn't find a solution.

The launch menu works, but when launching in fullscreen it goes black and closes. In windowed mode it opens but stays black. In both cases no audio. Tried multiple proton versions and have turned off overlay and verified game files. Other games work. Skyrim for example(same dev) only had issues with overlay.

Hi everyone, I currently use windows 11 with an rtx5070TI. I really want to switch to Linux because I don’t like microslop. I have read that Linux does not work well al the time with Nvidia graphics cards. I mostly play singleplayer games like resident evil, indie games and open world games. I also would like to get some sort of steam deck like ui for my pc. Also I’m not really into coding and I’m afraid I’ll accidentally delete important files if I switch over to Linux. Is there a version where I cannot delete important files that would work with my graphics card? Sorry if this sound kinda dumb, I don’t really have a lot of knowledge when it comes to switching operation systems.

Thanks in advance!

Ive settled on buying the GameSir G7 Pro controller (wireless) but found out that the 8K model is also available for per-order albeit without XBox compatibility. So, which one should I go with for Linux gaming mostly via Steam?

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.

Thanks!

So this is just sth I've noticed when playing the game. For some reason, FMVs like intros or cinematic cutscenes don't play at all. Both NA: Sphere of Influence and NA: Awakening have this issue, and I don't know why. Can someone help me? ProtonDB users seemingly doesn't have any issues with videos in particular

While checking ProtonDB for R6 Siege, after not doing for quite some time, this post caught my attention, both because, well, it was the most recent one, thus at the top, but also because it stated something nobody else did. That the overall online functionality was excellent and that "for me works". While obviously heavily doubting this, maybe someone else knows more?

I've been having a very specific problem with Division 2 in that, every 20-40 minutes of playing, it hard freezes with the audio still playing and i need to manually close out of the game.

I quite literally have a double-digit list of attempted fixes, none of them have worked. I've been scrawling ProtonDB (even filed a report!) and searching around for any possible answer to this for about a week since a friend got it for me a week ago.

Here's the entire list i've documented so far:

-- General things: Disabling both Steam and Ubisoft in-game overlays. Freeing resources by closing background programs. Setting MangoHud picmip=8 to nerf the textures. Playing with bare minimum graphics settings. Running with Steam's gamescope compositor. Deleting the game's ShaderCache folder. Changing power profile to Performance. Giving Div 2 higher system priority. Updating GPU drivers. Updating the system. Rebooting the system. -- Launch commands: __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME=1 LD_PRELOAD="" -- Proton versions: Proton 8.0-5 (doesn't launch) Proton 9.0-4 Proton 10.0-4 Proton Experimental proton-cachyos GE-Proton9-27 GE-Proton10-32 -- Terminal commands: sudo sysctl -w kernel.split_lock_mitigate=0 -- CachyOS kernels: linux-cachyos linux-cachyos-bore

Spec-wise, my PC should be more than capable of handling it. In fact, the strangest part is that the game otherwise runs at a stable 60 FPS perfectly fine! You'd think there was nothing wrong with it if you looked at my gameplay, which makes this even more confusing.

Specs are as follows:

• DISTRO: CachyOS
• LAUNCHER: Steam
• GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070 (no overclock)
• CPU: Intel i9-9900k (no overclock)
• RAM: 32gb DDR4
• DRIVE: Samsung 850 SSD

If you're interested, i have a pair of performance graphs i snapshotted during two different instances of the freeze, right as they happened. Dunno how useful they are, but they exist. Friend of mine said it may be related to some bad CPU/GPU cycling, but i have no idea.

• Graph #1
• Graph #2

These were taken with btop++ along with the Steam Overlay's full performance detail mode enabled, which i pasted into the top of btop's window.

Any help would be appreciated... though, i'll be honest, this is kind of a last-ditch effort, i have no idea if this is actually solvable lol

I tried without any prefix and with a 32 bit wine prefix made for the game using protontricks with c++, .net, openal, dx9 installed in it and nothing worked. The game didn't start in both cases. I have always used proton em and never faced any issues with any game before. Could someone help pls

I just been recently trying to play Elden Ring on my Laptop with Bazzite on it, it should be running just good, but it has fps drops constantly, and i dont figure out why, i was reading problems of other people with this title, and i found that it somehow makes a bottle neck if one of your processor cores it's at his maximum, i use gamescope and none of mine was, and it only use like half of my cpu and half of my gpu.

I am going to try to add photos on a comment later to show the perfomance on game.

EDIT: I add the screenshot on the comments of this post, sorry if is not the ideal way to do it, i didn't found another way.

I have an Asus TUF Dash F15 i think it is from 2020 if there is more models out there, it has: CPU: Intel i7-113z GPU: RTX 3060 Mobile RAM: 16 GB (yes i am rich i have RAM HAHAHAAHA) And all run on a ssd on bazzite with the last update of it, stable branch

In windows I used to use Medal or the Game Bar

I know in steam there's an option to record in background and save the last 120min (I've never tried it), but for games in Heroic Games or external games how do you clip that?

Maybe screenrecording using OBS, save the video and using a script with FFmpeg that allows you to get the current time, and just cut the last minute, save the clip and start recording again?

Or maybe using another tool for recording and just make script for that.

So, what do you use for clipping games?

spent a few hours building this out to solve a problem I had of my rudder pedal, joysticks, throttle all interacting with games and making my characters run around when I'm too lazy to crawl under my desk and unplug peripherals when not flight simming.

Who does that? Not me, I'm lazy. :o)

It currently works flawlessly on the latest build of CachyOS. Feel free to contribute to bug reports, etc if you have any issues if you found this useful, or run into anything. It's basically a replica of HidHide which I used 24/7 on win10/11 before migrating to Linux recently.

The SuperTux Team is pleased to announce the stable release of version 0.7.0! You may wonder what took us so long to develop another release. Over the past couple of years, we've made dozens of changes and improvements to the game, bringing it to a much more polished state. As such, this is likely one of the biggest releases since Milestone 2! Never fear, SuperTux remains a fun run'n'jump game, but with this update, it should bring it into a much more finishable state moving forward.

Here are some of the most notable changes since the previous release: - Brand new sprites and abilities for Tux: slope sliding, strong buttjumping, rock rolling, and crawling - Revamped graphics for most backgrounds, tiles, objects, and badguys - Complete level design + story rework of the Story Mode, Revenge in Redmond, and Bonus Island I - Not only new NPCs (e.g: Granito) and enemies (e.g: DiveMine, Fish, and Corrupted Granito), but also revamps for numerous enemies such as: GoldBomb, Igel, Ghoul, and both bosses (Yeti and Ghost Tree) - New music - Level editor revamp - Local multiplayer mode - New gameplay mechanics such as glinted enemies, keys, the item pocket, and unlockable bonus islands via Tux Dolls - Many improvements to engine mechanics, such as moving to SimpleSquirrel - Improvements to compilation/porting, including CMake refactor, Android revival, and Flatpak builds

And many more changes and bugfixes not listed here! Really, check the game out to see all the changes!

Thank you so much for the patience everyone had regarding this update. Feel free to report any bugs to our GitHub. We appreciate everyone's support in keeping this game alive! Happy SuperTuxing! -- The SuperTux Team

You can download the release from here: https://github.com/SuperTux/supertux/releases/tag/v0.7.0

Android NOTE: For most modern Android phones, you'll likely want armv8a. Savegame NOTE: If you played during the betas for v0.7.0, note that your savegames will not work right away, as they are saved as .old files, which can be easily converted back into proper savegames.

Has anyone been able to fix the sttutter on FF7 Rebirth where when you turn the camera, the game stutters a lot?

I am on a 5700x, AMD RX 7700xt, 32GB ram system btw with a 1 TB nvme SSD.

I have read on protonDB that the only solution that kind of works is lowering the background detail setting. I have tried lowering this to the lowest setting, and it does improve the frame time, but it still has the camera stutter just not to the same extent. Windows doesn't have this problem. I also would like to not lower a graphical setting if possible especially cause pop-in is an issue for this game.

It's interesting cause while the stutter makes me have to use windows only for this game, the actual overall FPS I have observed is higher on linux, at least for AMD gpus.

I was able to get great (90) frame rates with windows 10 a year ago. Now im on linux with proton 10 on steam w/ flatpack and i can barely get 35 with the lowest settings possible, compared to pretty high settings, with barely no dlss and no raytracing.

I have a 3080 with 10gb of vram, 32gb of ddr4/3600mhz ram, an amd 3600 cpu (yes i know theres a bottleneck, but its not relevant in this afaik). OS is endavour os

I'm wondering if theres any way for me to get better frames, or if i should just dual boot and put windows on my other drive. Thank you for your time on reading this and processing it in ur minds <3 (slightly more in depth data in images attached)

Essential Tip for new Debian users Don't Break your Debian What I mean is don’t just randomly install packages you’re unfamiliar with or unsure about in terms of compatibility. Do your research first, and make sure the process is straightforward and safe to execute.

Before Installing Debian 13 or any other distro

* Secure Boot: Turn this OFF.

Skip MOK key management for now. If you are blocked from installing Debian, use Ventoy to boot your ISO. If the MOK manager appears before Debian boots, enroll the keys—especially if you want Secure Boot to remain active. This is particularly helpful when dual-booting.

if you really cannot install Debian 13 using your usb installer:

Reset all variable keys in bios

then restore all default keys in key management in bios

1. Installation

* Use the NetInst ISO: Download the Network Installer rather than the full offline package. This ensures your /etc/apt/sources.list is configured automatically during setup. you will have to connect to internet also safe way if you are dual booting it will install grub.

* Root Password: Leave the root password blank. This automatically gives your user sudo privileges, which is easier to manage.

1. Update & Repositories

After logging in, run a full update and enable essential repositories for drivers and codecs:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

* Note: You will need to add contrib and non-free-firmware to your sources list (see other tips from below).

1. Disk Management (NTFS / dual booting tips)

if you have NTFS partition files use Gnome Disks to "Edit Mount Options" for your NTFS partitions so they mount automatically on startup. toggle off user session defaults. so you can mount your NTFS.

1. Browser Setup

Use the default Firefox ESR, or install the Flatpak version for more up-to-date releases install the original one which has more steps on it.

Download The Original Firefox

= https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions

1. Gaming on NTFS Steam

While it is possible to play games off an NTFS drive, it is highly recommended to use a Linux native format (Ext4) for better compatibility and performance.

If you really want to do it check this out = https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows

1. Display Settings

* Navigate to Settings > Displays.

* Ensure your Refresh Rate is set to its maximum (e.g., 144Hz).

1. Power Management Settings

* Screen Blank: Set to "Off" or increase the timer to prevent the screen from locking too quickly. or you will have to press your power button in your pc over and over

1. Privacy & Security Settings for more Optimization

* File History: Turn Off.

* Automatic Trash/Temp Cleanup: Set to "On" with a 1-hour threshold.

1. Mouse Settings

* Mouse Acceleration: Turn this "Off" for a more consistent, linear feel (especially for gaming if playing FPS).

1. Install Steam

Download the .deb file directly from the official Steam website. It is often easier to manage than the version in the default repos.

- you may need to tinker what proton version your game will run best debian 13 more tinkering compare to other distros.

1. Enable Flatpak

Install Flatpak to access a wider range of modern applications:

sudo apt install flatpak

1. UI Customization (Gnome)

To get a proper taskbar, install Dash to Dock:

sudo apt install gnome-shell-extensions gnome-shell-extension-dashtodock

1. NVIDIA Driver Installation

Debian 13 requires manual repository configuration for proprietary drivers.

1. Open your sources list: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Add contrib non-free-firmware after main on your active repo lines. see the other tips below to manually do it.
3. Save (Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter).
4. Run the following:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms nvidia-detect // for users who does not update their system always

nvidia-detect

sudo apt install nvidia-driver nvidia-kernel-dkms

sudo reboot

* Verify: Run nvidia-smi after rebooting.

1. Desktop Environments

You can install both Gnome and Plasma, but it is better to stick to one. Installing both can cause conflicting settings and "bloat" your application menu.

I do have some problems with it like slow restarts and shutdowns.

1. Remove some apps

Remove pre-installed apps you don’t use to keep the system lean and fast.

Other Tips.

if you want to manually do your sources.list copy paste

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security trixie-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security trixie-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ trixie-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ trixie-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

Save (Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter).

installing GOG games from lutris tips

if you are a gamer tips

so after installing your main setup file then you still have some dlc to install installing DLC games in lutris from GOG

Downloading DLC Select Run EXE inside Wine prefix. select your dlc then download....

If you have SecureBoot enabled, you need to enroll your machine owner's key (MOK) to use DKMS modules. Detailed instructions are available here. It's recommended to do this before installing nvidia-driver so that you do not have to rebuild the kernel modules.

if you want to run secure boot for both Windows 11 or Debian 13 you need to do this.

Has the system booted via Secure Boot? = sudo mokutil --sb-state

if you want to know what keys are in use on your system, various other mokutil calls will help, e.g. sudo mokutil --list

sudo mokutil --import /var/lib/dkms/mok.pub # prompts for one-time password

$ sudo mokutil --list-new # recheck your key will be prompted on next boot

sudo reboot then go to bios enable secure boot. make sure you do this or you will not see the mok manager

Once you boot back to the OS, you can verify in the logs that the key is loaded: sudo dmesg | grep cert

If you have other tips that I may have missed, feel free to share them below. I might add them the next time I break my Debian setup again, since I’m sure I’ll keep tinkering here and there.
