I saw this very informative video that shows the negative effects of playing games in borderless mode, now for KDE and Gnome I don't think we get true "Exclusive Fullscreen" like Windows does, so does anything in that video actually relate to Linux gaming at all? do we know how KDE and Gnome behave on this regard?

Afternoon all.

I've recently been working with getting a LinuxGSM Docker image setup on Ubuntu for Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. Currently Docker is running fine, I can connect to the game just fine.

My problem exists in mapping a volume in the Docker-Compose file so that my pre-existing config files (and location of maps) are recognize correctly.

For example, my docker yaml file has the following:

Volumes:
- type: bind
source: /home/myaccount/games/enemyterritory/serverfiles/etmain
target: /data/

However what happens when I run the game, is that the game starts but none of my config files or custom maps are recognized. When I dig into this further, what is happening is that in my host machine, I see a new sub-folder path in my above etmain folder. It now has:

/home/myaccount/games/enemyterritory/serverfiles/etmain/serverfiles/etmain

It's as if Docker LinuxGSM is placing it's files in that location.

Honestly I'm new to Docker so I'm trying to nail down better syntax and configuration. Can someone help out for a better configuration so that Docker reads the correct source path?

For reference, here is my complete yaml file in case anyone wants to help pick it apart for better usage:

version: '3.8'

services:
enemyterritory:
container_name: enemyterritory
image: gameservermanagers/gameserver:wet
stdin_open: true
tty: true
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- target: '27960'
published: '27960'
protocol: tcp
- target: '27960'
published: '27960'
protocol: udp
volumes:
- type: bind
source: /home/myaccount/games/enemyterritory/serverfiles/etmain
target: /data/

The FAQ presently recommends these distributions:

• General-purpose distros for new users:
  • Ultramarine Linux
  • Linux Mint
  • Pop!_OS
• General-purpose distros for more experienced users:
  • Arch Linux
  • Debian
• “Gaming” distros:
  • CachyOS
  • Nobara
  • Bazzite

I disagree a lot with this list of recommendations, especially the general-purpose recommendations. The very first recommendation, 'Ultramarine', I had never even heard of. I'm certain that it was very flavour-of-the-month when this FAQ was first written, but I do not think that new users are well-served by flavours of the month.

The other two beginner recommendations aren't very much better, for opposite reasons. Pop!_OS is effectively alpha software at the moment, and Linux Mint's tech stack is rather outdated. Furthermore, neither of them present the big and well-supported desktop stacks to new users: GNOME and KDE Plasma.

In my mind, there are only two correct recommendations for beginners, and those two recommendations have not changed and will not change for a long time, because these are well-established upstream distributions backed up by a lot of labour power, and used by large amounts of users. The recommendations are:

• Ubuntu
• Fedora

Now I know that Ubuntu is easier to hate on by the day, and its Snaps are more than a little silly, but it remains an excellently curated distribution that is easy for new users to use. Fedora, for its part, targets a slightly more technical crowd, but the QA on this distribution is in my experience unmatched.

But most importantly, Ubuntu and Fedora are hugely well-supported distributions that will not lose their flavour-of-the-month status … ever. They have huge contributor bases that solve lots and lots of bugs and issues, have dedicated security teams, have excellent translators, and Just Work™. The same cannot be said for many (or any) smaller hobbyist distributions. You literally cannot go wrong with either of these two distributions for general-purpose computing.

Guys, I need your help. I switched to Linux CachyOS. I spent a decent amount of money on the game Rustex Remake. Now I have no idea how to enter this game. Please help me. This game opens through the launcher. I've already tried through Steam and through Proton. I just don't know what to do. submitted by /u/IndependenceGreen482

So i have some games from my windows install, ( i pirated them cuz im too broke and don't have income) and now i'm wondering if i can use proton on them. I don't have the installer though, just the files for the game that work perfectly fine on windows. The games are There Is No Game and The Henry Stickman Collection. I'm using POP!_OS 24.04 LTS with COSMIC

I'm running Ubuntu 25.10 with NVIDIA-SMI 580.126.20 Driver Version: 580.126.20 CUDA Version: 13.0

However, the Vulkan drivers lack of support has been plaguing me for months.

Any idea if/when there will be an ICD fix and/or new Vulkan compatible drivers that keep CUDA ?

I know 26.04 is due soon, but it's been a minute.

Hey guys,

i am fairly new to the Linux Distros and i just read about how big the actual advancement is from Wine and that Proton relies heavingly on Wine.

Does that mean that we also see better Perfomance in Games in general now?
I also read that Raytracing works better now on Linux than it did a few months ago.

Im very close to sticking to Linux but the Perfomance may be now starting to break the Ice keeping me at Windows (and KLAC which will take some while till its figured out lol)

My Setup:

Linux Mint 22.3 - xfce 64
Ryzen 5 5600G
16GB Ram

I tried compatibility tools:

Proton, Proton GE, Proton Cachy OS...

I tried many launch commands and upper/lower case variations:
SteamOs, SteamDeck, etc

Nothing works. The best I can get its a "validating progress bar" and, one time, "processing Vulkan shaders".
It always appear to be starting, but then, nothing. And the button return to green "PLAY".

Hello, gamers! I wanted to ask if there's a way for me to sync my non-steam games' save files to the cloud. I distrohop a lot and I often end up losing progress on my games so I was wondering if there was a way to upload my save files for proton games.

Hi All,

I've recently swapped a laptop to linux to play around. I have installed Factorio and Battlebit Remastered. Factorio works fine but I cannot get Battlebit to work.

I have the output from the cli from when i attempt to run the game if that would help.

I've tried multiple proton versions with multiple startup arguments. I have had luck with proton version 7.0.6 and the arguments:

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 FMOD_ALSA_DEVICE=pulse %command%

although no idea what that is as i just found it online, but upon running the game once it started caching shaders and then once it reached 100% it just stopped.

Now the game just doesnt run or open anything, when i click play, the button goes green and says "running" for a few seconds but just stops immediately.

Any ideas? thanks
