Does anyone know if forza horizon 5 runs and plays well on Linux (or to be precise fedora)? I've not bought the game yet because I've read multiple different opinions on it working.

My specs: Ryzen 5 4500 RX 6500 XT 32gb DDR4 ram (+32gb of swap)

Picked up Clair Obscura since it seems to be the best thing since sliced bread, but running via proton unless I turn down the game settings to look like a fried potato, I am getting between 20 and 30 FPS at 1080p with a 3700X CPU and 6700 XT GPU. I was wondering if anyone else happened to have that exact combo of hardware and also getting that performance with the game, or if I have something broken on my end.

Hi everyone,
I'm having a really frustrating issue trying to run Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2017) on my Fedora 42 system (GNOME, fully updated). I'm using the Steam Flatpak version.

I've played plenty of other games through Steam without any issues, but this one has been a nightmare from the start. Here's what happens:

• After installing the game, the EA App launches, but the game itself never starts. Steam shows it as "Running", but nothing happens. I can't close it normally and have to force quit.
• After several attempts (and reboots), I finally managed to get the game to launch once, but:
  1. It won’t connect online. When I click "Connect" it tells me I need to log into the EA App — but I already am.
  2. It doesn’t detect my controller at all (which works perfectly fine in other games).

I’ve tried reinstalling the game and switching between multiple Proton versions (7, 9, 9-GE, and Experimental), but no luck.

Has anyone experienced something similar and managed to fix it?
Do I need to adjust anything in the EA App, Flatpak permissions, or Proton settings?

1. Downloaded Trackmania on Steam, can't play it because I need to connect to Ubisoft
2. Downloaded Ubisoft Connect and added it to Steam. Doesn't open properly, just crashes
3. Installed Lutris and was able to login to Ubisoft Connect, but when opening Trackmania through Steam it still says I'm not logged in

Does anyone know a working way to play Ubisoft games on Linux? Thanks

Id long heard Linux efficiency was better than windows, however switched from windows 10 to Ubuntu. And since switching every game has seen a notable decline in performance, granted my hardware is near ancient still (ryzen 1600, rx560) but with all drivers reading up to date, 90% of games I've tried crashed inside of a minute, and the rest I have to play on low or minimum whereas I previously was on medium.

ive been using windows for the past 12 years, and have been gaming on it ever since. i've wanted to switch to linux but havent had the best experience (while installing i had problems), and i have a good amount of time on my hands now, so i decided to jump back in. Along with wanting to do courses on coding (im a cs major) i also want to game on my system. I've seen a lot of people having problems with linux gaming, and so i just wanted to ask for a good distro.

My specs:
Nvidia Geforce 840m
8GB DDR3
Intel i7 5500U

(yes i am running a flagship pc)

I usually play games like terraria or minecraft (and modded minecraft) and would like to stream / record the two as well. I saw a couple videos where OBS had issues with linux recording (granted they were many years ago but idk if that has been fixed or not). Distro recoms and any videos i should watch before switching?

Oddly Call of Duty black ops 2010 will not close completely. The app is unresponsive, and when kde asked if I want to terminate it, I cannot terminate it. This comes after I clicked stop on steam, perhaps I should have closed the app the proper way. It is just a blank screen as of right now, unable to terminate and sadly u can't find it in system monitor to kill it. I am on FedoraOS 42. Could this be a security issue, a glitch with steam or the game itself? How can I solve this. I have already un-installed the game. I scanned my home directory and downloads, where my steam files all are, with clamtk and found no threats. Thank you for your help.

Screw windows, my games work fine on bazzite, feels nice to let go of windows. Helldivers works fine, can't ask for anything else.

After hopping through a bunch of distros, I finally committed to Arch for gaming and honestly, it’s been a game changer. The rolling updates keep my system bleeding edge without the bloat or unnecessary apps. Plus, the Arch Wiki is insanely helpful when troubleshooting or tweaking performance.

Gaming performance on my 7800 XT has been rock solid, and the flexibility means I can customize everything to my exact needs. Sure, it’s not for everyone, but if you’re willing to put in a bit of effort, the payoff is worth it.

Anyone else here prefer Arch for gaming? What’s your favorite tip or tweak for it?

I am running a amd radeon r7 240 2 gb, i know its no issue with the GPU its self as i had this game running fine on linux mint. I am using heroic launcher and using both Proton GE and Wine GE has done nothing for me. I have also tried actual wine but the results have been worse for wear if you can help me with my plight it would be much obliged for i yearn to conquer this continent

Warm Regards - Ronald Degrassi.

I'm having a problem with Gamescope on my laptop (Acer Nitro AN16-41, Arch Linux, KDE Plasma on Wayland).

I have both an AMD integrated GPU Radeon 760M and an NVIDIA discrete GPU RTX 4050. My laptop supports hybrid graphics Optimus.

When BIOS is set to "Hybrid" mode (both GPUs), Gamescope does not work at all. It just crashes or shows a black screen.

But if I go into BIOS and set GPU mode to "dGPU only" NVIDIA only, Gamescope works fine.

I already tried using prime-run, envycontrol, and launching with --prefer-vk-device, but nothing works in Optimus. Only switching BIOS to NVIDIA-only makes it run.

I'm wondering if there is a fix on how i can use gamescope in Optimus.

OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Host: Nitro AN16-41 Kernel: Linux 6.14.7 DE: KDE Plasma 6.3.5 (Wayland) GPU 1: AMD Radeon 760M GPU 2: NVIDIA RTX 4050 Mobile gamescope version 3.16.9+ (gcc 15.1.1) submitted by /u/UnpaidLandlord_9669

Im a causal gamer and i do enjoy a good online game sometime, i just hate how big the file size is sometimes, I prefer 3d mmorpgs but please feel free to suggest any 2d ones aswell, I feel like realm of the mad god might be a ok choice, feel free to widen my gamer mind selection.

I grew up on windows where everything was a simple .exe file.

Im looking for mmorpg game suggestions that are not too complex to learn but dont take up much space.

Hi guys, for those who were doubting that Elden Ring Nightreign would run on Linux, it is running perfectly on Linux. I am using Proton Experimental
