Hey guys! I have recently gotten back into gaming and I wanted to make sure I have a good library to play through. If you had to pick a few games (last ~10 years) that you think everyone should at least try out, what would they be?

tenho rx 7600, r5 5500 e passei o dia tentando resolver esse problema. os jogos não abrem na steam e já testei várias versóes de proton. (no Heroic também não funciona). alguém sabe resolver? tentei o chatgpt e o gemini e mesmo após literalmente várias horas, e dezenas de comandos no terminal o problema persiste... Estou pensando em mudar para o nobara, mas ainda prefiro o mint

I was trying to complete the new Discord Quest that requires to play BloonsTD6 for 15 minutes. However, Discord won't detect the game. It won't even show in my profile. Apparently, this is because I installed Discord with flatpak.

Does anyone know a solution?

Don't have high hopes, but I have been trying to get quests working on Discord using Kubuntu 25.04. I've read over other threads in the past here and nothing has worked for me. I am using this https://github.com/EnderIce2/rpc-bridge to get RPC working. My discord status is updated to the correct thing, but for relevant games, I earn no quest progress, and the games also don't show up on the "Registered Games" tab in my settings, which I am imagining is connected. Has anyone been able to get quests working? I am using non-flatpak steam with flatpak Discord. If I need to install Discord through their site than I guess that's what I'll do but I am trying to see if I can avoid that.

I want to install Windows to play some games with incompatible anticheats and already have most of my library in a ext4 drive. Is it better to partition this drive to have a separate NTFS library or can I install some ext4 driver to avoid partitioning?

I found this project: https://github.com/bobranten/Ext4Fsd, does anyone know if this works well?

So I am trying to run Ark survival evolved on linux using a launcher called Tek Launcher (its a launcher that pirates but this has nothing to do with it). I got the launcher to work itself and everything functions, I even got to download the game itself but I am having a problem. When I pressed play it said that steam is not open. So I checked the launcher source code and found out that the launcher is communication with Steam’s WebSocket API but I couldnt get steam to work. I installed steam in the prefix with winetricks but that wasnt enough and I made a script to launch steam from that prefix and steam updates itself but after that nothing opens. I also checked the logs and couldnt find anything relevant. The furthest I got was steamwebhelper not responding. All of the information you need should be here:

I also dont know if I am supposed to run it with proton. proton opens the native steam or redirects me to steam app when I launch it. I also got plenty of different logs when I was trying to get steam working but I lost those logs and one time I got steam to update but it didnt open the client just like wine on proton without it opening the native but now I cant do it anymore.

Please don't hate me for this, I am just trying to help!

I am a noob learning Linux after switching from Windows after 30 years, and want to share my experience. I run Fedora as my daily driver.

I tested six different Linux distros to find out how quickly and easily I could install each one, update the system, install Steam, and launch a game with a controller.

No pre-tweaked gaming distros (this time), just base or independent Linux systems. Each episode is a real-time test to see how easy it is for me to get going on these distros.

Go see for yourself if you want to see the first steps I took in each distro.

I tried.

• Solus
• OpenSUSE
• Debian
• Arch
• Void
• NixOS

Warning: If you are an expert in Linux, then you will cringe at these videos! 🤣

Hey all! Okay, so don't laugh at me, but I want to install Linux to play Sims 2. Yes, genuinely just for that. Nothing else. It's basically my biggest stress-relieving, nostalgic game and it runs like shit on modern Win systems. Constant graphical issues and errors. But apparently, many many people report that it runs great on Linux. The thing is, I also play a lot of regular games and do a lot of other stuff on my computer, and I don't want to completely swap my PC to Linux and struggle.

So, I've been looking into some form of Win/Linux dual-booting.

I'm seeing very mixed opinions, though, so I would welcome any opinions and advice here. Option a) second HDD with Linux, dual boot. I've seen some discouragement about how Windows will overwrite the boot sector since it wants total control over the PC. Then there's b) USB stick install and run from that. That worries me from the functioning side. Obviously, Sims 2 isn't super graphics-heavy, but I have many mods and worry it would take ages to load or not work properly. I would also like to take nice pics and videos. Option c) would be a virtual machine running Linux, which someone also recommended, and said it could work (especially since I am playing something that's not so hard on the computer like a game from 2006) but I am not sure that would be the best as well, as from my understanding, virtual machine would erase everything every time? Or maybe I need to do more research about that?

I'm just a little conflicted and confused and not sure what to do. Could anyone give me advice? :)

I got a problem recently with 2077 and I can't nail down what the problem could be, but i narrowed it down to a GPU issue. For the last few weeks my AMD GPU is freezing up on a few games, but more so with Cyberpunk. My PC is a Kubuntu 24.04 with a AMD Ryzen 7700 CPU and the AMD Radeon 7700. i'm also on the latest version of Cyberpunk with 2.31.

Checking the system logs, this string of errors appears before i was forced to restart my PC when the whole system froze. i recent;y updated everything possible but nothing seems to be helping. a friend thinks it could be a Mesa issue.
Note; *ERROR* MES repeated 8 times with mes failing to unmap legacy queue.

kernel: [drm:mes_v11_0_submit_pkt_and_poll_completion.constprop.0 [amdgpu]] *ERROR* MES failed to response msg=3

kernel: [drm:amdgpu_mes_unmap_legacy_queue [amdgpu]] *ERROR* failed to unmap legacy queue

kernel: [drm:gfx_v11_0_cp_gfx_enable.isra.0 [amdgpu]] *ERROR* failed to halt cp gfx

Please help if you got any ideas what might be the issue.

so i know this is kinda specific but im really lost right now. ive been wanting to ditch w11 for the longest time now and the only thing i need to do that is get rdr2 running with mods but i just cannot get it to work. i bought rdr2 on r* games launcher, not steam and im currently running it over lutris. rdr2 runs when i dont use mods but id like to get it running with mods since all of my saves are modded.

so now the problem itself and what weve tried already:

pretty much the problem is that nothing happens. from what ive researched and been told you need launch arguments to get rdr2 running with mods. i have those launch args but when i try to launch the game nothing happens. weve tried adding it into steam and nothing happens same with the r* games launcher. ive also been having this problem not just with rdr2. ive tried to add a modmanger for rdr2 (lml) and even when i add that .exe to steam nothing happens it just closes after i hit play.

any help would be really appreciated since this is a very specfic problem

I know there's a lot of talk about this bug where, while playing and opening the GUI, the mouse is somewhere else instead of centered. Seeing that most of the posts I found are two years old, I'd like to ask if anything has changed.

PS: I tested Wayfix 1.20.1 mod and I get a crash log.

- I tested cursor-centeredfix 1.20.1 mod and it works!... at the cost of it taking 3 seconds to load any GUI.

There are also other installation options using sudo, but since I haven't been using Linux for a few days, I'm not sure if I should trust them, and AUR also supposedly has some security issues (I don't know correctly, so I'd appreciate a correction).

I have encountered the problem that Sober randomly closes itself when opening a game and getting past any menus. As far as I can tell this is somewhat game debendant. The game I'm currently having issues with did not have these before. I have also noted no crash reports, the game just randomly closes itself and as far as I can tell when I rejoin the game I'm still in the same server as before, unlike when I regularly close out of a game. I'm currently using linux mint 22.1

Does anyone know what might cause these random closings and how to stop them?

Hi guys, in the last mouth I start to hate windows (more like I was From the launcher for window 11), but the incorporation of copilot and error I have to uninstall copilot, one drive and more bloatware, I give up.
