After updating Lutris from version 5.19 to version 5.20, no game will start me anymore, so I would be looking for equally good new launchers. What do you recommend?

I have Linux Mint and Windows installed on two separate drives, not dual booting, and I have a separate m.2 nvme drive where I have all my games installed which I created on Windows. When I go on Linux there is no option to mount the nvme drive at least through conventional means, but Linux does detect the separate drive under Disks yet I don't see any option to mount it, just an option to edit the partition. Steam on Linux also does not detect my separate drive filled with my Steam games, which I installed Steam via command line. When I go to edit the nvme drive I see that part of is windows reserved.

So I'm just wondering if its possible for Linux and Windows to share a storage drive for games and how I might be able to go about doing so.

here's how you can fix this issue if you're like me and had this problem suddenly happen to you a few days ago:

go to the settings for the game and disable umu. simply right-click on ghe game's cover, click settings, click on the advanced settings tab, and then tick the box for disabling umu. this should make your game work.

if you dont want to do this for every game you have you can also switch the compatibility layer to wine, but i recommend doing the disable umu route since wine can have problems with running certain games.

Hello everyone, I made this helper utility for myself, mostly since I got fed up with the lack of Ubuntu support from asusctl. I personally find it usefull since I can toggle CPU power modes, RGB, etc. In the tests I did on my machine, it behaves exactly as G-helper does on Windows

Its a direct port of the G-helper from windows, It currently lacks the Led Matrix thing since my laptop does not have it, if there is interest, I may add it in the future. A direct port in the sense it has most of the logic that G-helper has around specific device oddities, but alas, I cannot test what I don't own.

Down to the updates :)

To start with, I'll list my specs:

• Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS.
• Gigabyte A320M-S2H
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
• AMD Ryzen 5 2600X x 12
• 32GB of DDR4 Ram
• 1TB SSD

This is my old PC which I installed ubuntu on to both bring it new life and try to learn linux. I'm mainly using it when hosting a minecraft server or letting someone else play on my main PC. I am still fairly new to linux. Overall ubuntu seems to work fine on my pc, however I've had nothing but issues when trying to play steam games.

Several months ago I was experiencing an issue where source games wouldnt launch when I pressed play in steam library. Eventually I got TF2 to launch by executing it in the terminal, though I could never get it working from the play button. when ingame it performaed completley fine.

When I tried CS2 (on very low graphics) the only issue I experienced other than performance issues was the audio fully cutting out after like 20 minutes of gameplay. forcing me to restart it.

I was running both of these with the default proton, though they both have native linux support, which makes me more suprised as to why Im experiencing issues with them. When I had windows running on this pc, all three worked fine (on low graphics) after I had updated my drivers.

That was all several months ago now. When I tried launching steam on that PC today, I was met with an error telling me steam couldnt launch because the following packages were missing. "libpipewire-0.3.so.0" and "Libxcb-res.so.0". I immediatly did sudo apt update then upgrade and rebooted my PC. This didnt change anything.

I tried manually installing both packages, but nothing changed as they were already installed. Eventually I just removed steam and manually reinstalled it, which fixed it. now I have two steam clients in my apps list. I have no idea what I did wrong for that to happen lol.

Now when I try to launch TF2 it loads past the cutscene but the screen starts to jitter and it crashes. Afterwards my whole desktop is constantly jittering and im forced to restart to fix it.

CS2 still launches fine and performs same as before.

Troubleshooting ive tried so far (None have fixed the issue):

• sudo apt update / upgrade
• A suggested fix I found online - "sudo apt install nvidia-driver-580 + sudo apt-mark hold nvidia-driver-580" followed by a restart.
• Another suggested fix I found on youtube. Opening a specific file with "- sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf" then adding the line "- vm.max_map_count=2147483642"

Could this be an issue with drivers? I've become aware there are some compatability issues with proton / vulkan on 900 / 1000 series NVIDIA cards. Apperently they arent fully supported anymore. I discoveed this when checking if steam OS could run on my system, as I was curious if that might resolve some of the issues ive been having. Has anyone here actually used steam OS and can confirm if what i just said is even true?

Would it be worth just wiping the system and reinstalling ubuntu, or jsut installing a new linux distro? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I developed the game on Manjaro using Godot, LMMS, and Aseprite.

I started my career at Ubisoft as a Game Designer. At first, it felt like the dream. But over time, it wasn’t what I’d imagined and I started feeling miserable (COVID and full WFH probably didn’t help).

I decided to leave and go indie, with about two years of savings and no real plan.

After working on massive teams, I needed to work alone for a while. And after being focused on very specific tasks in AAA, I wanted to be a generalist (programming, art, design, everything). Solo indie dev is so different from AAA that I had to learn everything again.

I made a few prototypes (you guys supported me previously for Last In Space) and eventually settled on Dawnfolk, a minimalist puzzly city-builder set in a fantasy world. Making it alone was brutal. There were days where I was convinced I had made the biggest mistake of my life. More than once. But I kept going and eventually shipped it.

It didn’t go viral.

But over time:

• 26,000+ copies sold (500+ from Linux players)
• “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews on Steam
• 110k+ wishlists
• I ported it to Nintendo Switch myself
• It still generates enough revenue for me to work full-time on my next game

It’s not a viral success story, but I’m incredibly proud of it. Making a sustainable living from games is brutally difficult, and the fact that this one lets me keep creating feels like a win.

I’ve shared a few devlogs if anyone’s interested in more context about the game, including how I approached finding a publisher and the overall journey.

There's a free demo if you want to check it out. To celebrate the 1-year anniversary, I’m discounting the game today. If you have questions, I’ll try to answer when I can over the next few days.

Take care!

Good day, gentleman,

I've came here for an advice, if there's anyone out there, who knows how to get OW to work flawlessly, because on my 4070super/7800x3d/32RAM the Overwatch's shaders just fuck up the joy that I've had when hopping in back after years.

Every god damn time I press play and play whatever mode it is, my game just goes from 400fps to 0fps for 2 seconds, when something new in the game happens, so my bet is that it's because of the shaders. I've been checking protondb and I've found no success with any commands or advice from there, nothing is helping and it makes me... ehm... little bit Bloatwaresoft fan, lowkey. I'm so jealous, that Bloatwareboys and girls can play without a problem and I have to check whole Google just to play this nice game again.

Man, please. I'm even ready to pay you, if you've got fix for these sHaDeRs... it makes me little bit crazy, yeah, not gonna lie.

Save me, good souls, please, save my evening, so I can waste time in a colorful videogame and shoot sons of some nasty parents on the line.

Pray for CachyOS.

My actual commands on Steam look like this:

DXVK_HUD=compiler __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SIZE=10737418240 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia obs-gamecapture RADV_PERFTEST=aco %command% submitted by /u/Demonic696969

Hey! I have an LG monitor and noticed that when I enable adaptive sync, my monitor starts to flicker on KDE Plasma with an NVIDIA graphics card. I know that it is due to fast brightness change but as it does not appear on Windows I keep wondering if there is a fix to this issue.

Using the create files in mod instead of overwrite should now function as intended.

Plugins and INI files will attempt to go to the correct location regardless weather or not the folders exist or not. Fallout New Vegas specifically was fixed as well with this. On top of this running fluorine in the terminal should now also report the location of where they are going:

[2026-02-18 06:16:09.115 I] Wine prefix paths: AppData/Local plugins dir='/home/USERNAME/.var/app/com.fluorine.manager/Prefix/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/FalloutNV', Documents/My Games INI dir='/home/USERNAME/.var/app/com.fluorine.manager/Prefix/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/FalloutNV' [2026-02-18 06:16:09.141 I] Using Wine prefix: /home/USERNAME/.var/app/com.fluorine.manager/Prefix/pfx [2026-02-18 06:16:09.153 I] UMU launch: '/home/USERNAME/.var/app/com.fluorine.manager/umu-run' '/home/USERNAME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout New Vegas/FalloutNV.exe' (game id: umu-22380, steam: '/home/USERNAME/.steam/steam') [2026-02-18 06:16:09.160 I] Process helper: started 111188

Timestamp fix, wine calling SetFileTime() should fix the timestamps and allowing them to update.

FOMOD Images will now be displayed if they have them in the bundle.

fomod-plus-settings.ini will now go to the config folder of the flatpak instead of the home folder. ~/.var/app/com.fluorine.manager/config/

Just updated to 6.6 on Cachy os. HDR settings are just weird. They do not stick when applied either. We didn't need another brightness screen, we needed the luminance screen done away with. No other HDR setup does it like that. I had that figured out before either way setting luminance to 203. Now it just keeps defaulting itself back to 603 and that's WAY to bright. The new brightness screen with the K is bogus. I have to max it out to get that symbol to basically dissapear. We shouldn't be going by "when its barely visible". Our screens have set values that work when were able to input them. Anyways, as of now i cant even use HDR properly because none of the settings even stick. I'm on a 7800x3d / 9070xt if that makes a difference but this is strictly KDE not functioning as its supposed to. Damn this is almost a go back to W11 for a while bug.

I wanted to see if I could host a gaming event using a 100% FOSS tech stack without forcing anyone to download a client.

Tonight at 8pm german time, I'm testing my self-compiled Emscripten/WASM port of Luanti. It’s running VoxeLibre and allows joining exclusive web-servers and p2p gaming via a WebTransport proxy (real UDP, virtual ipv6). We are coordinating the event on Common Ground (a decentralized, browser-based Discord alternative).

It’s a stress test for the open web stack. If you're a Linux gamer or FOSS enthusiast, I'd love your feedback on the performance.

Stream: https://www.youtube.com/@CommonGroundGamingAlliance (starts at 8:15pm)
