I'm on Bazzite modding the Witcher 3 (I even got the mod manager and Script Merger working). I want to install a mod called Random Encounters Reworked, but rather than simply drop the contents in folders, I have to drop it in the game's main directory and run a powershell program. On Windows, I could do this real easily. However, I'm not sure how to do this on Bazzite.

Any idea what program or method I can use? I'd be grateful.

I've been applying tweaks and such to my VR gaming experience since I moved over to Linux, and for the most part I've got things in a pretty acceptable place, but I figured I'd compile my remaining issues here, just in case anyone with the talent or contacts to get these things fixed might see them, or if anyone out there knows even more workarounds.

1. Starting SteamVR does not turn on the headset first try, ever. I need to start VR, right click on the headset and restart it. It's like it doesn't get initialized at all when my PC starts and I need to force it.

2. Using the open source AMD Vulcan drivers works best.

3. Some VR games don't seem to know how to use your PC's resources properly on Linux by default. The two I've noticed this the most with is H3VR and Vrchat. They both have extreme ghosting and stuttering if I try to play them with no tweaks. Using the wine CPU topology launch parameters though, I can at least get H3VR working like normal.

4. The SteamVR overlay is weirdly proportioned, for some reason. It's like the top is wider and farther away from the bottom. Kinda disorienting to look at. And the desktop view mode is just blacked out.

In bottles, I had issues where the client would freeze during login using the Ge-Proton 10 runner. I found a workaround by turning off use browser hardware accelerator.

Within the bottle directory locate: drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Battle.net/Battle.net.config

open the config, locate and change: "HardwareAcceleration": "false"

Client and game works like a charm now. Just leaving this here just in case someone else is having the same issue as I couldn't find any post about this issue

All signs are pointing to the fact that gaming on Linux is a viable and possibly better alternative to Windows as far as gaming goes, in terms of performance, general bloat, and not to mention privacy. Windows has become a rubbish operating system and users are waking up to that fact. But the fact remains that even though Proton is becoming better and better every day and most games run perfectly fine on the Linux platform, it's still a compatibility layer, anti-cheat is still an issue, and getting all studios and developers on board to make the shift is going to be difficult in the long run as long as the business opportunity for those companies are still greater when Windows is the native platform.

Now, Microsoft being the multi billion dollar corporate money grabbers they are, are not going to sit idly by as a large part of their product demographic switches to a different platform. If Linux get's anywhere from 10 to 20 percent market share, they are going to have to come up with a "solution". And I think that will be a gaming edition of Windows, especially now that they're losing out on the console market as well.

So, they will probably use a debloated edition of Windows like the IoT edition, and customise it along the lines of the famous marketing line, "By gamers, for gamers". No bloat, reduced (but certainly not eliminated) telemetry, gaming related ads, etc. If they can compete with Linux on performance, they'll probably be successful in maintaining market share.

What do you all think?

So I am increasingly thinking of taking the plunge into Linux gaming. My current gaming PC is has windows installed on one drive and my games all installed on other drives.

If I format my windows drive to set up Linux, would all the game files on the other drive need to be redownloaded from steam to be the Linux compatible version? I am assuming that would be the case.

So I tried a few game on linux, from lightweight to game that req higher spec. They both have a same problem - Lag spike. At first, I tried Wuthering Wave - kinda like Genshin, so its req some specs and it happened, I though thats bc my laptop is not strong enough, but later on, I tried Minecraft, Balatro, etc, games that should be run fine on my laptop and they all have the same problem I do a few research but none of these help. Please help me get rid of this

My setup: - Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 - i5-1145G7 - 32Gb RAM - Fedora Linux Workstation 42 (GNOME + NiriWM) - Steam installed through FlatPak - Proton-GE installed through official repo (not through Flatpak) - Minecraft: Minecraft launcher on Flatpak I hope that help

I’m at my wit’s end. I’ve got a 4090, Zorin OS, and I'm using PrismLauncher with modded Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge). This setup used to fly. Now I’m getting 12 FPS. TWELVE. I’ve spent hours trying to fix it. Here's what I’ve done so far:

✅ Running Prism via AppImage (flatpak is completely removed)

✅ Cleaned all Prism folders (~/.local/share, ~/.config, etc.)

✅ Using Zulu 17 Java

✅ Confirmed the game is using my 4090, not the iGPU (nvidia-smi shows Java using 1.8GB VRAM)

✅ Installed vulkan-tools — Vulkan is working, and driver is NVIDIA 575.64.03

✅ System has 64GB RAM, and I’ve tested both 4GB and 8GB JVM allocations

✅ Shaders are OFF, render distance is low, and FPS still tank

Mods are mostly light, some worldgen, nothing that should wreck performance. Here’s what’s killing me:

🔹 This exact same modpack used to run buttery smooth on this same machine.

🔹 Now I get 12–20 FPS max.

🔹 My friends running the same pack on Windows have zero issues.

🔹 I’ve tweaked settings throughout the year, and I’m starting to think I broke something deeper system-wide.

So now I’m stuck. I don’t know if this is:

A PrismLauncher issue?

A Vulkan/Mesa/NVIDIA driver problem?

A Zorin OS config quirk

A Java tuning bug?

any ideas would be greatly appreciated
