Morning all, I recently switched to Linux (Mint, Cinnamon, loving it, works amazingly well), and I've been testing my games out on it. Hell Let Loose, Mordhau, and 7D2D all work out of the box. (had to put an instruction in HLL to use more cores and DX12, very easy 5 minute fix).

However, on HLL and 7D2D, the Steam overlay doesnt work, and I dont see the FPS counter either. I noticed both of these games loaded something called Vulkan before starting up for the first time. I can play both games just fine.

Mordhau works perfectly with full Steam overlay functionality.

I have no idea what Vulkan is, or if its relevant, just that it's something the problem games have in common that Mordhau doesnt.

I've tried looking this up and read a bunch of posts made over the last ten years with seemingly no solution.

Does anyone know any workarounds for this issue? I can still play these games, so it's not the end of the world, but it would be nice to be able to chat with steam friends and keep an eye on my FPS.

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to play Dark Souls 3 but the performance is just awful. Even though mangohud says the game is running at 60 fps, it clearly isn't. A lot of the animations are janky and feels like 30 fps, same with the camera movement. It doesn't matter if I'm playing windowed or full screen.

Also, there is SO MUCH screen tearing, it really gets annoying.

I'm running the game through Steam using Linux Mint 22 and using GE-Proton9-25.

I am pretty sure my computer is able to run this game, since I've got my platinum using Windows and never had any performance problems at all. But just in case:

Ryzen 5 3600X

RTX 3060 Ti (Running 550.120 driver. Probably is the proprietary version? Mint installed it automatically when I installed the system).

16 GB RAM (2 x 8 GB at 3200 Mhz CL16)

Both the system and the game are installed on a SATA SSD.

I am trying to run the game at 1440p and my monitor is running at 165 hz. I know the game engine is locked to 60 fps, and I'm not trying to reach 165 fps. I just want a smooth 60 fps experience, just like on Windows.

Btw, had a similar problem with Dark Souls Remastered using Proton Hotfix, but changing to ProtonGE fixed it. Game was completely locked to 30 fps otherwise (even though mangohud was reporting 60 fps).

So, does anyone knows what may be happening here?

Thanks in advance!

This may be a very specific question because it only happens on this game, but when I'm playing Fallout 3 (GOTY Edition) on Heroic Launcher, randomly the whole system just crashes, everything just freezes and I have to turn off my laptop, the game runs very well, and these freezes are completely random.

Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1

Intel Core i3-5005U Intel HD Graphics 5500 8 GB DDR3 Ram (2x4gb)

I’ve been considering switching my OS over to either CachyOS or Bazzite, but my only concern is losing features that I’ve already grown accustomed to.

Currently I play everything at 4k60/120 in HDR, streamed to the Moonlight app on Xbox Series X and iPhone 15 Pro. Everything as it is works pretty well and is fairly seemless, but over the past year or two windows has sent out botched updates that complete break on my system.

I’ve heard that HDR has issues working, or maybe just doesn’t work as good in Linux? That would definitely be a huge bummer to me if that feature is no longer practical

Also my PC is essentially just a game streaming server that I occasionally use to remote into work, so all I’d really have on there is just steam, Apollo/sunshine and (maybe) my Remote Desktop software (if it isn’t compatible I have another PC I can use) so one thing I’m also slightly worried about is the reliability of this system in regards to updates; not that windows has been particularly reliable to me, but I wouldn’t want to jump right back in to having the same issues as before either.

To those who care, these are the specs

RTX 4080 Super (566.36 because recent updates causing really bad crashing)

Ryzen 9 9900X

64GB 6000mt/s CL30

1TB M.2 Gen 3 for OS (Windows 11)

2TB M.2 Gen 5 for games

'm playing Warframe, and after a certain amount of playtime (everything runs super smooth initially), the game starts stuttering extremely heavily, but only when I move the mouse. As soon as I stop moving the mouse, the framerate goes back to normal. This makes playing with the mouse practically impossible.

Interestingly: If I switch to my gamepad, the game runs completely smoothly again – as long as I'm using normal gameplay inputs (moving, aiming with the stick, shooting, etc.). However, if I use the gamepad stick to move the mouse cursor in menus or other places where a cursor appears, the stuttering also returns for as long as the cursor is moving.

This issue was not present on the CachyOS installation I had before reinstalling yesterday.

What I've tried so far:

• Launching the game both with and without Gamescope.
• Switching the Proton layer from proton-cachyosto GE-Proton9-27

Unfortunately, neither of these changed anything. The issue occurs in both configurations.

My System Information :

• Kernel: 6.14.1-2-cachyos
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
• Desktop Environment : KDE Plasma

I installed Cachy

I'm stumped and would appreciate any tips!

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking to purchase a new laptop to support both Linux gaming and software development. I'm trying to stay within a budget of under $1800 but still have some longevity. I tend to play more retro games, but it would be nice to have some support for some more modern games (last 5 years like Phoenix Point), but I don't care about bleeding edge.

I'm looking at AMD Ryzen 9 CPU's, and I'm looking for opinions if that's a better way to go over Intel based on people's experience. Also is it better to go with an NVIDIA GPU over AMD graphics? I keep hearing that AMD is no longer supporting the laptop market with their latest GPU chips anymore. If NVIDIA is the way to go, is the 4070 the bare minimum? I've heard some issues with the 4060 in Linux on some posts.

Any other thoughts ore recommendations? Any brand of laptops that are solid in Linux even though they come with Windows?

FYI - I'm currently using Fedora.

Hi, I'm looking for streamers or bloggers who might be interested in trying out our game Ecliptica first, before we release it anywhere. If anyone is interested, you can write to me, or read the description of the game itself.

Now I'm looking for people willing to play, we'll prepare the build itself a little later, in a few weeks.

Of course, if somebody want to play it.

Heyo guys, I've recently switched too Linux mint a couple of weeks ago and I've been having a blast of an experience with almost no issues that I couldn't figure out but the one thing I can't really get right is VR. I have a quest 3 and I'd like to use a link cable instead of streaming it over the Internet simply due to the face I have god awful internet speeds. I've tried using ALVR with my quest 3 but I can't seem to get it to even recognize that my headset is connected. I click on the notification in my headset too allow it too view the storage on my pc and the issue itself seems to be Linux itself doesn't recognize my headset at all. What's your guy's suggestions?

Hey!

I'm new to PC gaming and I'll be using Nobara 41 as my distro. I'll mainly be gaming and I was wondering if anyone here had tutorials or experience with undervolting their CPU and GPU on Linux. It looks like MSI Afterburner isn't Linux compatible so a lot of the videos on YouTube aren't applicable.

I have a Ryzen 9800X3D and an ASUS Radeon 7900XTX Dual OC. Also, I don't come from a CS background. If you have any links, videos, or words of advice I'd be very appreciative. Thank you!! :)
