Steam games wont run under primus
im on MX linux 25.
When I put primusrun %command% in the launch options of any game it doesnt start and it throws this in the console
primus: fatal: failed to load any of the libraries: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/libGL.so.1:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/nvidia/libGL.so.1:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/nvidia/libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directorythis doesn't happen when i run primusrun glxgears so it's definitely something up with steam. Is there a fix?

Sadly had to revert back yo windows
After an amazing linux journey on my RTX 5050 system I had to go back to windows they latest update on CachyOS made deadlock unplayable the vram would get maxed out or the game would crash at start up unless I sit for like 30 minutes for shaders to compile not the ingame one the ones steam is doing not sure why that is happening and for some reasone my audio started stuttering and freezing , Now I know you can find fixes for this issue but this is the second time this kinda thing happened after an update last time I had to troubleshoot sunshine not openning up and artifacting in resident evil ,I dont wanna do this anymore I just wanna play without having to do 1 or 2 hours of troubleshooting after every update and I am not buying an AMD card just to stick to linux , I have 2 systems an b580 and a rtx 5050 the 5050 was starting to show decent performance but stuff is breaking too often on it the b580 on the other hard is realy stable but the performance isnlike 30% of what I had on windows on it. Sadly my linux journey ends here until the nvidia and intel drivers are as good as AMD. Sorry for the rant just wanted to vent :D

Egpu - Questions
Hi,
New Linux user. Been a few months and a few distros. I've settle on Nobora currently and it's running great. I'm using an Asus G14 with 4060 laptop. The only issue is when I run it docked on a monitor I would like more fps and quality. I have been considering getting an egpu with 9070 XT or 4080 or whatever I can get a good deal on in comparable performance. Just curious if I should expect headaches or if it's a good idea.
I like the portability with the gaming laptop and don't want to build a desktop PC but if it's a bad idea I'd rather skip the headaches and just build a desktop.
Thank you

Counter-Strike 2 gets a Beta with a fancy new animation system

About the hardware survey, what is "64 bit" and "0 64 bit"? Why do they represent 25% of linux devices?
Is the survey wrong? Is the true percentage 3.96% instead of 5.33%?
P.S: 3.96 is roughly 75% of 5.33

Distro: Fedora workstation 43
RAM: 8GB DDR4
Launcher: Heroic games
Proton version: Tried 9.0-4 (best one so far), proton GE latest, proton CachyOS
Kernel: Linux 6.19.9-cachyos1.fc43.x86_64 (also tried the fedora default kernel)
Game scope and feral game mode enabled
I really appreciate any help or response :)

Steam On Linux Use Skyrocketed In March - More Than Double The macOS Gaming Marketshare
What is still the biggest pain point in Linux gaming for you?
Linux gaming has improved a lot, but the same issues still come up again and again: anti-cheat, NVIDIA on Wayland, DX12 weirdness, and the occasional "this game just runs worse for no obvious reason."
What is the one thing that still annoys you the most in 2026? Or do you think some of these problems are already overblown?

Now that Linux is at 5.33% marketshare on Steam, what marketshare do you think will be enough for anticheat support?
It just struck me. 5.33% of players on Steam are about 8 million active users. What are the companies with anticheat games waiting for?

Games running well on Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Strix Halo)
Hi,
I got a Strix Halo PC a few months ago, happily installed CachyOS on it as I use it to run local LLMs and play some games. I have only been playing Overwatch and Farcry 4 so far, and I would appreciate feedback from other Strix Halo owners to see which games run well on that platform :
- in Overwatch, I get 110-120 fps in low details mode, QHD, DX12. I would expect more tbh, but I guess proton doesnt do miracles on that one.
- Farcry runs great at max details but it is quite old, so that is expected.
Any recommandations on games that run great on that platform ? Note : I'm not looking for compatibility scores, protondb is fine for that, I mean games that make good use of the CPU + iGPU architecture.
Thanks ! Cheers
