Switched to Cachy recently and have had a few problems with Source games either not launching, running on the igpu or having a lot of graphic issues and crashes.

No more room in hell, CS S, Fist Full of Frags have all been problematic. All launching through Steam.

Anything I can do to improve things? System is a laptop with a 3050ti if that makes a difference.

I just switched my computer over to Mint cinnamon, got Steam and Skyrim SE running through MO2 (using the NaK installer method), but Steam won't record anything, not even a blank file. Everything was working fine on Windows; how are you guys getting Steam recording to work?? (And before anyone asks why I want to use it, because it's the easiest way for me.) TIA

Hello everyone!

My hacking RPG "Untrusted: Hackers at Large" (which I've shared development updates on this subreddit over the past few months) is now available on Steam!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2508150/

"Hackers at Large" is a prequel to the original game, a multiplayer social deduction game set in the same universe: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1502660/Untrusted/

It's free for the next 72 hours! I hope you enjoy it!

Both have - of course - a native linux build. In fact, they've both been developed on linux :3

If you have any questions about the release or development, they're always welcome! Thanks to everyone for the feedback and support I've received in previous posts!

I kept running into the same issue on Linux gaming:

Steam updates Proton, a game breaks, I forget which version worked, I switch versions manually, something else breaks later. Rinse, repeat.

I tried ProtonUp-QT, notes, per-game overrides, etc. They all work, but the workflow still felt fragile and easy to mess up.

So I ended up building a small open-source helper tool to make Proton behavior more predictable instead of “hope this version still works.”

What it does (right now):

• Makes Proton versions easier to see and reason about
• Helps avoid accidental Proton version changes breaking known-good games
• Keeps things simple and transparent (no magic, no telemetry)

It’s Linux-first, MIT licensed, and basically exists because I was tired of re-debugging the same problem over and over.

I’m mostly posting to see:

• If other Linux gamers hit this same pain point
• Whether this is useful or redundant
• What features would actually make Proton management less annoying

Repo is here if anyone wants to look or test it:
👉 [https://github.com/AreteDriver/SteamProtonHelper]()

Genuine feedback welcome — including “this already exists and you’re reinventing the wheel.”

Valve have put out a fresh Proton Experimental upgrade for SteamOS / Linux systems, which thankfully includes a fix for the EA app breaking again.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

I had recently found out that you could use dxvk on windows games by copying the .dlls file into the game directory and it had a really positive impact on the game performance( dxvk was the reason I decided to try linux out)

However when I play the same games in linux there's a massive performance decrease(sometimes worse than windows)

I thought it was supposed to give better performance compared to windows Am i supposed to do something else and can anyone explain why is this happening I know theres a translation tax for running windows games on linux but I don't understand why it runs better on windows but not on linux.

I have an issue with my simulator handbrake where the axis does not get read at all by any application or tool. It sort of works, assetto corsa reads it as a simple button, jstest and evtest also see it as a button, but if I do

```

sudo usbhid-dump -es

```

i get this output:

```

003:009:000:STREAM 1769719387.284045

14 00 00 00 00 0F 20 80 00 00 00 00 00

```

The second byte changes from 00 to 01 when it s half engaged

And the last two bytes change from 00 and 00 to C0 FF once it is fully engaged and gradually increases.

I used both bazzite and arch for this and both have exactly the same behaviour.

Here is the output of lsusb

```

Bus 003 Device 009: ID 1eaf:0024 Leaflabs Maple

```

And here is the link from where I bought it: https://amzn.eu/d/baBRYqc

Any help is appreciated
My goal is to get the axis working instead of the button for assetto corsa so I can use it as intended. On windows it does get registered as an axis, but I recently switched to linux.

I have been trying to get Trainz working (downloaded version from their website) tried through lutris and steam and have had no success.

The game boots but freezes in the menu the menu music works fine so there is something with the interface bugging out.

I have found a little info on this online but the recommendation is to run windowed which does not work for me at all.

I have seen on the Trainz forums that people have gotten it working pretty well but there is not much information on how.

Does anyone here have it working and if so how did you set it up.

Probably a very niche question, but has anyone had any luck changing their font in Poe? On windows I was able to download fontin then changed something in reg-edit and bam, if anyone’s been able to do this please let me know, (the more details the better please, still new to Linux, am on Nobara)

There is a mobile app called "Magic DOSbox" that has a great GUI in my opinion, and I was wondering if anyone has come across a DOS gaming application that has a similar layout. The Mobile app lets me make a custom game list menu and have it point to executables and iso files so I don't need to type commands in the prompt every time I want to run a game I've installed and set up. Just click the box art picture I gave it and it runs. Anyone know anything like that for linux computers so I don't need to emulate a phone to emulate DOS games in a simpler UI?

For Context, Wilds was already "playable" before the Update on Linux Distributions using Valves proton, but it had a lot of mayor issues.

Example of the Vertex Explosions

These being Vertex Explosions, especially in Windward plains, FrameGen not working correctly, constant stutters, Shader compiling taking ages (up to two hours) and a generally pretty abysmal performance. It was also prone to crashing.

And that was AFTER you spent time tinkering with start augments to get it running at all.

But now? *Chefs Kiss* It runs perfectly. Well, kinda perfectly. You will still experience Stutters here and there and the Oilwell Basin is still a FPS tank, but compared to before it really is a massive improvement.

Using Proton Experimental i experience no more Vertex Explosions and my FPS changed from an average 50-80 FPS with FG (depending on the Surroundings) to an average of 90-120 FPS with FG.

So if there are any other Linux enjoyers out there that waited for this game to be more playable, this is it.

For those interested these are my Specs:

I have this weird problem in RDR2 where every shadow is flickering / glitching on the ride side of my monitor (and sometimes on the left). I've tried everything I can think of - try on other monitor, disable gsync, change game's video settings, reinstall drivers or install other version, change proton version (I tried proton 8, 9, 10 and geproton 10.29), adding some game launch properties and nothing worked.

I mean, terrible performance. It's amazing how a game with 2000s mechanics can be so bad. Valve should get an award.

Even worse for those who play on Linux, which has a compatibility layer. It's impossible that this game only runs on Arch Linux in a window manager. If you use gnome or kde, it crashes. You have to restart your PC all the time. Like, every game works in full DEs, but CS2 doesn't.

I'm abandoning the game. I'm not going to Windows to run this piece of crap!

I've been on Windows for about 6 months after being on Linux for 5 years. The reason I switched to Windows was for one thing: VR. Before switching, I was never able to get that virtual desktop experience I get on Windows...I'm really hoping it was a skill issue.

Keep in mind, I wasn't testing on the best distro for the task: Ubuntu 22.04 and an Nvidia chipset (Rtx 5070ti, amd processor). So my drivers were surely old.

I really need to get off Windows. I'm not saying this just to dunk on Microsoft, I was willing to commit for a while just to work and play with my VR. But after a recent failed update, I thought it was enough.

If any of you wizards managed to get a beautiful VR experience on Linux to a point where you can honestly say "f windows, it runs much better here", PLEASE, PLEASE share your wisdom with us.

Personally I'd love to be able to view and interact with my desktop, use overlays, record video at the quality I'm getting with Windows. Doing this on Virtual Desktop is perfect, I'm able to work comfortably.

Below I'll share what I've found so far and hopefully that might help others too.

Again, any information or experiences (this is valuable) help!

Information I've Found So Far

• WiVRn Guide: Extremely well researched guide. I'm still on Windows, so I haven't tried it. The author, /u/sss/ seems to have a great experience with his setup. Definitely worth a read. I'm following this guide if I make the switch soon.
• LVRA Wiki: A lot of you recommend this guide. It has everything you need and this is the guide I used my first time trying to get VR to work on Ubuntu.
• VR Database: Like protondb, but for VR. It's awesome. Great way to know if a game runs with WiVRn, ALVR, etc.
• VR On Linux There's a nice list of native vr games and software too. Found VR Database here.
