Is anyone else having trouble running CoD Plutonium on bazzite?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Februar 2026 - 12:00

For the past couple of days I've been trying play CoD Black Ops 1 through the Plutonium launcher and I keep experiencing issues related to audio, like missing sfx in the form of gunshots, footsteps, and even menu ques.

I've tried adding as a non-steam game. Going through Lutris. Downloading Xact and other recommended windows components. Trying different Protons versions. But nothing I do works.

What's more odd though, is the base game, without plutonium, doesn't have any of these issues. And when I booted into windows (I dual boot), It work there no problem. So I'm 90% sure it's some sort of conflict between OS and the launcher itself, but i don't know what else to try.

Does anyone gave any advice? or should I just cut my loses?

FYI: I use a 5950X, Rx 6800, and 32gs of ram. If that helps.

I recently moved from Windows to Bazzite on my Victus Gaming Laptop. Now all my files across Total War WH1, WH2 and WH3 are gone. I still have my Steam achievements from the respective games. Is there any way to restore my save files ?

My Windows-Styled Game, Running Natively on Linux, Now Has a Demo!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Februar 2026 - 08:58

The game is Malware Tycoon on Steam if anyone's interested. It's been an interesting journey to say the least, and the best part are those surprise Windows-exclusive bugs I had to fix... needless to say, I got VMM/QEMU all set up so those never slip by again. Happy to say the game is (hopefully) bug-free no matter what OS you run it on!

Would love to hear thoughts!

Running GOG installer (mojosetup-based) on unsupported platform

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Februar 2026 - 06:55

So you are running games (probably via box64, box86, FEX, etc) on platforms that GOG does not support? Struggling to figure out how to extract the contents hiding behind those installers? Well from what I know GOG has been using a modified version of icculus/mojosetup software, based on that knowledge we could come up with workarounds. I documented all techniques at https://gist.github.com/runlevel5/64e1dad006a36bb0cc3881749a37c3c9

Thinking of Moving Away

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Februar 2026 - 05:03

Hey everyone,

I’ve been using Linux Mint for the past 5 months, and honestly, it’s my first real experience with Linux. I really enjoyed exploring it and learning new things, but lately, I’ve been facing some issues that are making me consider switching.

Sometimes the system freezes or becomes slightly unresponsive, and gaming has been a real challenge. Over the past couple of months, I’ve tried playing games through the Fuags Launcher,and steem but most of them lag heavily, and some, like Days Gone, are literally unplayable. Even some classic games I love, like Max Payne and general zero hour, had performance issues.

My laptop specs:

  • RTX 3050 Ti
  • Intel i7 11th Gen

I’m thinking about what the next distro should be. Any advice or personal experiences would be really appreciated!
