I have Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS) and I downloaded Steam's deb. version because the snap version had mic problems (doesn't show your mic and doesn't allow you to use it etc.). Now is the problem that my steam doesn't open unless I give some commands that makes it restart steam etc. When I write steam in the terminal I get this: :~$ steam

steam.sh[49079]: Running Steam on ubuntu 24.04 64-bit

steam.sh[49079]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically

setup.sh[49278]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!

steam.sh[49079]: Using supervisor /home/*****/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/bin/steam-runtime-supervisor

steam.sh[49079]: Steam client's requirements are satisfied

CProcessEnvironmentManager is ready, 6 preallocated environment variables.

Steam is already running, exiting (command line was forwarded).

As you can see it gives back instructions as if the steam is already running but it's actually not on and when I click on the steam icon on my homepage it doesn't do anything. I usually gave some commands like: killall steam and then I clicked on steam icon, which opened steam after like a minute or so? I hope there is a way to solve this.

Just a quick post to tell you that kernel builds are not broken

With the latest kernel your mkinitcpio/mkinitramfs config might be looking for a deprecated module.

You don't need it. remove it from your config if your config is trying to include it.

Make sure you do rebuild your ramdisk after that, otherwise you won't have a working ramdisk to boot with.

EDIT:

What happened is the CRC32 module that used to be used by btrfs (as well as other things) is no longer needed for accelerated crc32 functionality, the built in kernel code will do the right thing if you have a compatible CPU.

SO if you use BTRFS check your mkinitcpio.conf to ensure you don't have crc32-* related modules in your modules line before updating. OR if it fails to run mkinitcpio during your update, be sure to fix the config and re-run it or you wont be able to boot.

Here is the forum thread in question:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=304822

EDIT 2: This deprecation possibly should have had a corrisponding news item on the Arch homepage to save us from sky is falling claims of broken kernel builds. But alas.

Can anyone make it work? I've tried with latest GE-Proton 9-27 on lutris but it is crashing at launch. I've tried with older protons like ge8-5 and it worked but it don't execute the echopatch and it's almost impossible to play without it. Maybe I need a dll override or a variable?

I am currently building a new computer and am considering switching to Linux as my main operating system. I will primarily be using this computer for heavy gaming, but with some various light productivity-related stuff (most likely programming). I have become increasingly attracted to Linux's customization features and its lack of bloatware that has become prevalent on my current PC. My limited experience using Linux through the Steam Deck has also grabbed my attention.

I primarily play single-player games, so I prefer a higher resolution and textures over framerate and speed. I understand that most multiplayer games don't work on Linux (which I'm okay with). I'll probably just use my old SSD running Windows as an alternate boot if I ever need to play with friends.

I was originally drawn to linux mint since I don't have any experience with linux, but I learnt that most linux distros (including mint) don't support HDR. I recently got a 4k oled monitor and want to use it to its fullest potential, so mint is out of the question. After doing more research, I decided to stick with Arch Linux, despite its notoriety, as I appreciate its documentation and am usually pretty good with command line stuff (also hyprland looks cool).

I want to take advantage of my hardware as much as possible while also having the advantages of using Linux. I know that linux gaming has come a long way, especially with proton, and performance seems excellent on most games, but from what I can tell, some of the more advanced features (HDR, VR, raytracing to an extent) seems to still be better on windows. In my position, is it worth it to make the switch?

tl;dr: is the absolute best gaming experience still stuck on windows, or is linux just as good?

Comparing Cyberpunk 2077 with esync (Wine 10.5) vs latest MR of ntsync (Wine git master) in one scene near Advocet Hotel and results of benchmarks runs.

Using recent vkd3d-proton master / Mesa main. Kernel 6.14.1.

Conclusion:

In that random scene ntsync loads GPU more fully resulting in higher framerate. Benchmark is better for ntsync probably due to better GPU utilization.

There are still some anomalies with this ntsync MR, like random crashes, and randomly disappearing sound (which don't happen with esync).

So I’ve been watching YouTube, and then I said, does Linux have rocket league? So I just went and searched how to install it, but those are videos of 5 years ago, so I don’t think they do work as I tried 2 an none of them worked. So now I’m here, is there anyway if playing rocket league on Linux Ubuntu’s system?
