I'm on Linuxmint Cinnamon, and I have the Issue that I can't click the Pop-ups of Steam, y'know things like "Add to Favorites" or "Remove from this Collection", and I figured out that the problem was my configuration about Window Focus, I put it as "Focus Follow Mouse" but Flatpak Steam can't support it, so I need to put it like "Click to Focus".

I found the first one more comfortable, cause I also use the terminal for coding, and I really want to fix Steam, is there something I can do to fix it (besides of installing Deb Steam?).

Thanks!

I recently tested this game on Fedora 43 and CachyOS, with NVIDIA drivers correctly installed.
I tested it using Proton 10, Proton-GE, and the Proton version included in CachyOS.

Up until about 10 days ago everything was working fine, but now the game—despite being set to maximum graphics (I have an RTX 5080)—shows extremely low-quality graphics on all the characters in the game. Someone knows how to fix it?

I've been on Cachy OS since probably a month or two before Win10 EOL. Each weekend I've been making steady progress to update my Steam Library. I'm big on my sims (Mil, Flight, Racing)...I would like to ask, what is working for you guys/gals?

I wanna plug back into MSFS2020 but they want an entire TB...That is a bit much for me. Arma 3 works, but I haven't tried Assetto Corsa yet and X-Plane 11 is giving me some issues.

Thank you.

Got an old steam link box. On windows, it works great - in particular, when I exit Big Picture Mode it lets me see my entire desktop and things like firefox. However, on linux if I exit big picture mode it shows a black screen with a stationary mouse pointer (even when I move the mouse pointer). The mouse pointer moves about if I hover it over my steam client but it doesn't show anything in the steam client.

I'm guessing it's related to the graphics card? Not sure if there's some graphics settings I've got to sort on that side of things.

I've got an Nvidia 3080, and am using the graphics settings that cachyOS found by default when installing. Am I missing something obvious in my setup or is this something that steam link on linux doesn't do?

I have been using Mint for 6 months. I've had really good luck with pretty much all the games I play minus getting the rockstar launcher for RDR2. From what I've read that is pretty much built into Bazzite but it's not worth the switch for just that. Has anyone gone from LM to Bazzite and noticed a performance increase. I don't mind switching distros for more than 1 reason.

I have booted Fedora GNOME and I want to set it up for gaming. In many online tutorials, Fedora KDE is used, and I am doubtful about switching again. The problem with Fedora KDE is that it looks similar to Windows, and I don’t want that. I think KDE is more customizable, but I don’t know how much more customizable it actually is. I also have an NVIDIA RTX 3050 graphics card, so I’m doubtful about whether it will work properly or not.

Hi there, I've been a *forever* fan of BloodBorne but I'm not a console person, so I played it a bit in the past. I've heard some rumors about coming to pc but since it was an exclusive, that's probably never going to happen.

Anyways, I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ni3AoIvUt0E&t=235 And I've found BBlauncher has a Linux option (https://github.com/rainmakerv3/BB\_Launcher). Question being: has anyone tried something similar? What's the expected performance overall?

I'm playing in an *old* high end computer, so things like CS, OW2, AL works amazing for my 3770k+GTX690 (windows ~90fps), in Linux, I've tried so far CS and OW2 with amazing results (~80-90fps). I KNOW that my rig is old, I know it would be better to run it newer hardware, that's obvious. But BB IS OLD, and I don't play to run it beyond 1080p. I'm just wondering if it worth all the fuzz with experienced ppl.

Thank you in advance.

Could anyone recommend me good MMO mouses which work well on Linux? Specifically for WoW (through proton).

Hi everyone, does anyone know how to set up a Bluetooth controller on Linux? I tried using it on Steam and the controller is recognized, but when I press the guide button, it stops working.

We often talk about how difficult it is to finish a game, but lately I’ve been wondering if the hardest moment is actually the beginning. That gap between imagination and the first playable version is where many projects quietly disappear. Fear of complexity, lack of time, technical uncertainty all of it stacks up before anything even exists. When I recently generated a rough playable environment from a simple concept, what surprised me most wasn’t the technology itself it was the psychological shift. Seeing something interactive instantly made the project feel real, and that alone boosted motivation. It made me question how many great ideas never survive that invisible starting barrier. If tools continue reducing that friction, do we end up with more finished games or just more experiments that never mature? And what really drives creators forward progress or perfection? Curious to hear your perspective: is getting started the true bottleneck of game development?

Hey guys,

I'm running a totally fresh arch install with KDE.

My basic setup seems to be fine, performance in games is as expected.

Now to my issue:

I'm playing Company of Heroes 3, a RTS, and I'm using the middle mouse button to drag the camera, meaning I click and hold the middle mouse button and then move the mouse to move the camera.

Now, if the mouse is still when I do the middle-mouse-hold and then move, all is fine.

However, if the mouse is already moving while I dmiddle-mouse-hold + drag, the camera then jumps across the map, the faster the initial mouse movement, the further the jump.

That makes the game totally unplayable for me, as my view is not where I'd expect it to be.

Anyone got an idea how I could mitigate this?

Edit: Mouse acceleration is off in KDE

Hi, guys.

I'm new to the Linux world, and would like to ask for some help with Steam save games. Steam cloud isn't working well and when I open Blasphemous, it doesn't syncronized my last save.

I've downloaded my last save from the Steam cloud as you can see below.

https://preview.redd.it/zbygbxspfbig1.png?width=722&format=png&auto=webp&s=9f96c0dfdacf0f00f8ef3504bddd2ab34702aad6

But now I need to know where to put this so I can play the game with my last save from Windows. :c

I've tried to put in two directories:

1. /home/user/.config/unity3d/TheGameKitchen/Blasphemous/Savegames/IDnumber/savegame_2/
2. /run/media/user/HD/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/774361/

I have a SSD and a HD in my desktop (don't know if this matters). The second try was on HD. And nothing happened. I still can't get the right save.

I don't know what else to do, so, please, can someone help me? Thanks.

As the post says, my FFB is acting all funky. I've managed to test one other game and it basically has no FFB apart from vibration caused by collisions. Any insight would be appreciated

Basically im trying to run Minecraft fabric 1.20.1 on KDE arch linux through curseforge, and whenever I start the game, there's no audio, and when I check my audio settings on my PC itself there's nothing in the applications tab... the weird thing is that it works perfectly fine on 1.21.11. Does anyone else have this issue? And if so is there any fixes?

I have the same issue as the user who posted this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1p9gwgw/is_there_a_way_i_can_keep_alive_hdmi_audio_on/

However, that post seems to be abandoned now and the solutions don't seem to work with pipewire.

My PC uses an HDMI connection to a Samsung soundbar receiver, so the sound goes into a suspend mode when not active. That creates a really annoying second (up to about 2 seconds sometimes) that there's no sound when I start media playing. It may sound minor, but it can sometimes be enough to miss the first half of a sentence or the intro to music.

The post I referenced above mentions solutions for alsa. I'm running Linux Mint 22.3 with pipewire, so I haven't had any luck with solutions meant for alsa or pulse.

Has anyone had luck with generating a constant inaudible sound output to keep their HDMI receiver awake on pipewire??

So I really need some help, I’ve decided to leave windows and go to Linux. And I found two I’m leaning heavily towards, Linux mint and pop!_OS, I have all AMD. And I mostly just game and internet. I already know certain games don’t work, and those games I don’t even play. So my question which of the two distros is best for a Linux beginner? Or do you recommend a third?.
