The City Skyline download is not in a external drive, yet it keeps trying to launch from Windows partition with the launcher there. I am using the Heroic Launcher for it as it's in Epic Games account. Any help would be grand!

Had this issue for months now. Minecraft launches correctly on my steam deck, but realms shows “Realms couldn’t load. Something went wrong. Please try again later.” Everything is up to date. Anyone has a solution or an explanation? Thanks

Hi,

Problem: As the title states, my problem is really only with this game, it might be present in Yakuza Kiwami 2, but not as significant. On Windows, I will EASILY hit 160+ FPS at max settings no problems, I obviously do not need to the run the game at such high framerate, but I cap my framerate to 90/120 and it runs very smooth with no dips or tearing. On Linux, however, I will get 60-90 FPS, visually see a lot of screen tearing, and does not feel nearly as smooth.

What I Tried So Far

1. Used LACT to adjust undervolt, core frequencies, voltage, etc. Didn't see much of a change. Also, made sure to check if my CPU was in performance mode while playing.
2. Tried gamescope as well as other launch options and proton versions, still happened. Proton CachyOS seemed to give me the most FPS, but never near the same performance and smoothness as Windows. Also made sure that ReBar and 4G Encoding is on in Bios. Even tried with stock BIOS settings as well.
3. Messed with KDE's display settings, to see if i could at the very least get rid of the tearing to no avail. Also tried Gnome, both on Wayland.
4. Tried CachyOS's LTS kernel as well as different schedulers, which only slightly helped with the performance problems. Also tried other distros such as Fedora and Nobara, still had the same problem.

Specs

5700x3d, 16GB ram, 7900 GRE, Samsung 990 EVO

Monitors: 2560x1080 (200hz), 2560x1440 (144hz)

OS: CachyOS, Windows 10 IoT LTSC (Both on separate drives)

I use Linux on my laptop and loved using Linux on my desktop, but this has been my only significant problem so far, any help appreciated it! I really would like to ditch Windows if possible, if you need anymore details let me know.

I'm just assuming its an issue with the Dragon Engine potentially, but on Protondb it seems people don't really have performance issues like I am and I believe Kiwami 2 uses the same engine and it wasn't nearly as bad.

Thank you in advance, will update with a solution if I find one.

Howdy, I can't figure out why I don't have any of the resolution options available for this monitor. Should I just use cvt to make custom resolutions? Thanks.

For some reason, when I launch Half-Life Alyx with OpenComposite, when I press A or X buttons, the camera turns 90 degrees. I want to disable that as it messes up my view when reloading.
This issue does not happen while running xrizer, and I can only assume it's OpenComposite's fault. I could not find anyone talking about it (except maybe this), or any documentation about camera turning on OpenComposite. I'm running WiVRn with Monado to stream to my Oculus Quest 2 headset.
I can not run xrizer because it gives me 30 fps less than OpenComposite.

This sub seemed really interested in Factory 95 last time I posted, so I thought you might be interested to know we'll be in Steam Next Fest!

You can currently play our demo on Steam (there's a Linux build obviously), and we'll be putting out some new levels for Next Fest.

Using proton-GE on HGL and proton experimental on steam.

On HGL the game selector opens, when I choose DMC 1 it shows the "loading do not turn off" screen then for a split second I can see the next screen then it crashes and closes

On steam added the exe and it runs properly

Hey guys so I usually drop in here a few time sharing some ports of tools like my TTW installer, VRAMr port, and NaK MO2 setup tool. Well I've been working on a Wabbajack handler for Linux, now you may be thinking why would I not just use Jackify or use Wabbajack under wine? Well for starters, CLF3 does not need any proton or wine to install a modlist. It handles bulk downloads folders a lot faster if you store all of them in one place. It also builds BSA's faster and transforms DDS files with GPU support. So overall it should be a faster install time. LoreRim at least for me excluding downloads takes a whole 26 minutes from start to finish to install. There are no requirements to run this application either. And it has beta NaK integration for the modlist to be loaded up and setup on steam for you.

DISCLAIMER: This does not use the original tools for creating BSA files, and transforming DDS files. As a result, the modlist install will not be identical to Wabbajack or Jackify. Although the end result like using the modlist should be exactly the same.

Hi everyone! If you are not sure about getting this game or not or maybe if you would enjoy it, here is my take (hope it helps!):

If you are a digimon fan this game is an 9/10 but if you are not it is an 7/10. It's a good game and I certainly did have fun playing it and seeing all the cool digimon hanging around and living their lives as well as helping the main characters. The main attacks for all the digimon are uniquely animated and voice acted as a bit of fan service (or at leasts all the ones I've seen).

To me the evolution system is very interesting and complete but flexible at the same time.

The story is pretty good regardless of the main missions which are not always the bets time, padding can get really bad at times, at least it only gets that bad for a like 20 minutes at most so if you can push through you will find a very good story.

Side quests are mostly boring in my opinion but getting the points is important for unlocking new and cooler digievolutions so I would do all of the ones from the first 2 acts and then only do the ones you feel like doing because in act 3 side quests get the most boring and I stopped doing them. A good thing is that the game tells you when you will reach a point where you will be unable to progress in your current side quests and they will become unavailable until the very end of the game.

I really enjoy anime style graphics but don't expect anything mind blowing in therms of looks it is an anime game whether that's good or bad is for you to judge but I think it never looks ugly or bad.

It is a very Japanese game, in both humor and aesthetics so that's that.

I really enjoyed it and had a fun time getting the digimon I thought looked cool!

Even if I'm a random guy on the internet to you I hope this little review had something useful for you.

Of course I played this game on linux from start to finish and it ran out of the box and I had no issues during my playthrough.
Have a nice day!

On root, I have /w/ and /a/. Proton specifically hides these from my game's prefix and it's pissing me off. I don't understand why specifically these folders are being hidden from it. Tested it right in the winecmd shell. It hides the folders unlike my normal wine installs.

Every other wine install on my system sees them perfectly fine. Even the prefix has seen them a few times when I was trying to look in protontricks, but most of the time it doesn't. WTF.

Okay so, I REALLY want to use linux.

As an OS, I can't put it into words but, when you use linux, it just feels like its YOUR operating system

Something about Windows just feels like you're renting a house, like yeah its your OS but its not

The native customization without installing a billion software (windhawk, taskbar modifiers, etc) as well as how its not so resource hungry

A linux install literally runs on a gig of ram meanwhile a windows is so resource heavy

The question I always end up facing after uninstalling linux and going back to windows EVERYTIME is this:

If I cannot use video/photo editing programs RELIABLY (Adobe/Resolve/etc), if A LOT of games can't be run on linux (some do), what's the use case other than just simple browsing or coding?

And how do we get to a point where we can run those programs

Pirated adobe doesn't work, a lot of non kernel level anti cheat games don't work, can you guys explain exactly why?

Is it developers that MUST develop these apps for linux specifically or can people code something that can run these programs on linux?

I tried wine, bottles, and other programs but none of them truly work.

I feel like if programs that people use regularly for work and more games are supported, why would ANYONE in their right mind use windows

Windows is a terrible OS but I don't wanna dual boot and have to restart my pc everytime I wanna play a game or do some video editing

I've been trying to run the new GeForce NOW native Linux app (beta) on Bazzite, but I'm running into constant error message and have to quit after 1-2 minutes of use.

What I've tried:

✅ Installed via Flatpak from the official GeForce NOW repo
✅ Applied the Wayland workaround (flatpak override --user --nosocket=wayland com.nvidia.geforcenow)
✅ Checked logs - no critical errors, just warnings about iwconfig, libNvCamera.so, and RADV (AMD GPU)
✅ App launches fine, connects, but crashes during gameplay

My setup:

• OS: Bazzite (latest)
• GPU: AMD (RADV driver)
• Desktop: KDE
• Install method: Flatpak

The question:

Since NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu 24.04 and the Flatpak seems unstable on Bazzite, would running GeForce NOW in a distrobox with Ubuntu 24.04 be a better solution?

Has anyone successfully gotten the beta app stable on Bazzite? Or should I just stick with the browser version for now?

Any tips appreciated! 🙏

Hey all. I'm a bit of a retro enthusiast running Fedora and focusing primarily on emulation. I've been looking for a solution to completely augment display output on my desktop so that everything comes up looking like a old time CRT. Does anyone have an idea of how I might get this done?

When I play the gmod native Linux version on Fedora, it will crash after sometime with an error saying hl2_Linux has crashed. How do I fix this? I also tried using the gmodpatchtool and also tried running the game with proton but then the game either won't launch or I get am error saying the main menu couldn't load.​​

I switched full time to Linux back in January 2025.

I would love if more people would join, and many do join. However it is not the year of Linux and that is okay.

Linux has made a lot of strides to be much more user friendly. I don’t think this is at all a major issue for people.

And the terminal is easier and less needed than ever if you take the time to help yourself.

But I think that is the main issue.

The average person has forgotten or never learned to fucking learn.

We often half joke about it in IT that “school is mostly there to teach you how to learn yourself” because.. well it’s true. But for fuck sake when you see people that don’t even fucking try. It’s gone from being annoying to being sad.

What do you mean you didn’t even google how to install an operating system from a USB before you just formatted your harddrive?!?

What do you mean you don’t know how to install steam on <distro> it’s the first hit on any search machine.

It’s gotten more and more frequent how many people hear about a trendy topic like “leaving Microsoft for Linux” and then just going for it. We see 100s of tech channels that try it.. and yes it’s interesting to see but it also saddens me because again so many of these “tech people” fail to do the most basic thing ever.. fucking read..

Sorry I didn’t want to rant but I just.. feel like somewhere along the transition into everyone has a computer we forgot to teach the user how to think for themselves.

Hi everyone, I passed to Linux mint about 5 mouth later, I had a lot of beautiful aspect with this change, also in gaming, but, in the last week I had a problem with the game "A way out". I installed it, on steam, with geproton 10.27 and I gamed without any problem, but, after I installed the update to mint 22.3 Zena, I found a problem with the EA app, because steam, when I started that game, installed on his sandbox a version of Ea games, for the access and after, the game started. But after the update, this don't happened yet, in fact when I start the game, the EA all don't open and the boot of game stopped. I tried to remove the compatdata files, to change the versions of proton, I installed the 32bit libraries of vulkan but nothing works. Someone can help me, please?

Game runs, everything seems fine so far(new world, so not that far in), but I can't seem to use minecarts? If I press R or right click on them, it spawns the minecart, but stationary in mid-air. Restarting made it kinda work, but then I'd start phasing through the world if I rode the rails... Any ideas...?

I'm on Proton 10.0-4, pop!OS. Playing the native version makes the interface too small...
