Hey guys,

I'm hitting a wall with Yakuza Kiwami and I'm honestly scared to keep testing it because of how hard it crashes my rig.

I'm on KDE Plasma, Zorin OS with an RX 570. The game runs smooth actually i played for 11 hours, but right now random stuff starts happening:

1. Audio starts stuttering/cutting in and out.
2. Game freezes.
3. Audio dies completely.
4. Monitor loses signal (black screen) but the PC fans are still spinning.

I have to hold the power button to hard reset. The scary part is: after I force shut down, my PC refuses to boot immediately. I have to wait a bit or try a few times before it boots again.

It feels like a thermal trip, BUT this only happens in Yakuza Kiwami. I played heavier games before without any issues. And i can play Forza Horizon 4 without issue at this moment.

Maybe a memory leak filling up the 4GB VRAM and choking the driver? If anyone knows a fix or a specific Proton GE version to stop this, please let me know. I really want to finish this game. Thanks!

I don't really remember playing this much on Windows, but since this year i tested a bunch of games on Windows due to my GPU dying, it's possible. I wouldn't really consider them "played" though. ;)

I have finally decided to say goodbye to Windows and hello to Linux (Mint XFCE). I have an extensive collection of ROMs (32 GB) spread out over 7 consoles. I also purchased and am playing Tiny Tina's Wonderlands through Steam and have a save file I am fond of. Here are my questions, and thanks in advance for any advice you give:

1. Which is the best (least painful and easiest to set up and get going) solution - Retrobat through Bottles, emudeck, or ES-DE, or is there a better one? I am trying to avoid Retroarch if possible because of a bad experience in the past.
2. If the best solution winds up being ES-DE, fine. If I want to use an emulator other than the one that comes pre-installed with ES-DE but is supported by ES-DE, do I have to manually install the emulator myself or will ES-DE do it for me?
3. Will I have to manually transfer my save file from Windows to Linux when I install TTW?

Thanks again in advance for any and all advice you give regarding my situation. :)

So I'm trying to get wmvs running so I can play resident evil, I installed GE proton which works for the newer titles but not the original for some reason. Reading around it was suggested to install wm11 with proton 5.0, but when I try I get the error message

warning: /home/simon/.cache/protontricks/proton/Proton 5.0/bin/wine cmd.exe /c echo '%AppData%' returned empty string, error message "esync: up and running."

This happens for all other versions of proton too, except GE. What I think is the problem is the space in the folder titled Proton 5.0, in the proton folder, all proton version folders have spaces except for the GE folder. Furthermore when I directly run the command

wine cmd.exe /c echo '%AppData% from inside the proton 5.0 folder it gives the desired output. What can I do about this? When I run protontricks it creates the proton 5.0 folder during the process so I can't simply rename it.

I haven't tried but I assume I would get the same error trying to install things other than wm11

Hello, sorry if I flaired this wrong I am a bit of a noob. Elder Scrolls Online works fine(at least I think, cant access 90% of the game lol) , but cannot initialize connection with Steam. All the fixes for this issue suggest running Steam as administrator, but from what I know thats a big no-no on linux systems. Anything else I can do? Running Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon, older hardware if thats necessary info but was capable of running ESO on windows. Using native Deb version of steam directly from Valve.

So, I get these strange lines which I would guess is a GPU issue. However, I only get this on the MC Eternal modpack. I tried stonework through the same launcher (prism) and i dont see them. Every other game i dont see them either. Anyone else having this issue? On CachyOS, RTX 4060 laptop, i7 14650-hx.

After less than 3 minutes of shutting down, it was already cold, so I believe it didn't shut down on its own due to overheating. What could it have been? I've had the notebook for 3 days. This is my first time using Linux, and I'm interested in learning it, so I'm not switching to Windows.

Not sure if this belongs here but I built this game for Linux gamers/enthusiast over a weekend. It's a click and play Flappy Bird game but you're Tux escaping Microsoft bloatware and eating windows for lunch. Obstacles include Recall, Telemetry, Edge "default browser" nags, and Clippy's vengeful ghost. Crash messages are the best part honestly.

Linux Gaming already feels mainstream but with Steam Machine on the way feels like 2026 is going to be a rock solid year where most consumers get in. Let the great migration begin!

Hi, I was wondering how I can install Minecraft on a MacBook Pro M2 running Fedora 40 (I already tried on minecraft.com by installing all the extensions, GDLauncher, PolyMC, Prism, but nothing worked because the packages were all for x64-86 or for Fedora 42 or 39). Does anyone have a solution, please?

I haven't played on Windows since I installed Bazzite and got a Legion Go S. (SteamOS). If the first couple months of 2025 weren't counted, I would have 0% Windows. Loving the Linux gaming scene.

I'm planning to migrate from Windows to Fedora Workstation but have some concerns regarding the Nvidia drivers and potential performance loss.

My Setup:

• Ryzen 5 5600
• RTX 2060
• 32GB DDR4
• 2TB NVMe

I mostly play AAA titles and use emulators (Switch/WiiU). I occasionally play online competitive games (Dota 2, OW2, CS2, Deadlock), but my focus is single-player. Currently playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Baldur's Gate 3, and Zelda BotW.Given the current state of Nvidia proprietary drivers on Wayland/X11, what kind of performance hit should I realistically expect? Is the FPS drop negligible enough to justify the migration for the better OS environment and privacy, or is the overhead still too high for a 2060 running modern AAAs?
