Right now Steam Storage setting say /Home/[username]/.local/share/steam/ However that is a smallish drive for the OS. I WANT to install in an HDD at /media/[username]/Games

But I cant select this location, it just does fill it into the settings. How do I get the library to install in a different drive?

Kubuntu 25.10, fresh install, just downloaded Steam.
Let me know if I need to pull any logs or check any setting (Im NOT good yet but Ill find it)

I'll be as brief as possible. Been using Windows since forever, but there's no way I'm installing W11, so I've been looking at switching to Linux. I'm also a couple days away from getting my last components for a brand new PC build, so it seems like a good time to make a switch, but I'm having a hard time picking a distro to go with. I use my desktop for just a few things:

1 - playing Warframe
2 - capturing video of Warframe gameplay
3 - basic internet stuff
4 - playing/organizing music and syncing music to iPhone

Despite being a content creator, I don't use my desktop for video editing, as I've found my iPad Pro performs better for my needs and is more comfortable for me. And despite primarily using the machine for playing a game, I don't think of my needs as "gaming focused" since I almost never play anything other than Warframe (maybe Path of Exile II). I'm more concerned with how a distro (or Linux on the whole) will work with that one specific game than how it functions for "gaming" if that makes sense. Basically, if Warframe is going to run in 1440p at 120 fps on "very good" graphical settings (there are lots of "ultra" effects and settings I turn off because I find them distracting) while capturing footage in OBS, then I'm golden. If the difference between a non-gaming distro and a gaming distro is going from something better than those requirements to something MORE better (e.g. 300 fps compared to 500 fps), then I'm not concerned, but I don't know if that's the case here.

Here is a link to my new rig if anyone is interested (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g9LrzP) but I think the bit that's relevant is that I went with AMD for CPU and GPU which (if I'm understanding correctly) sets me up for a better experience on Linux.

After a fair amount of research, I've narrowed to field to a few distros. Here are my thoughts (please correct me if I'm off base on anything):

Mint
+ very easy to get going and maintain
+ best odds of things "just working"
- not as flexible as other options (no native KDE option)
- not as powerful as other options

CachyOS
+ more powerful option (again, not sure if this power is superfluous for my needs)
+ fairly flexible
+ streamlined process for "gaming setup" (getting Steam/Proton rolling)
- rolling-release (might install easily, but require learning Linux quickly to maintain)

Fedora
+ very flexible
+ fairly powerful (possibly enough or more for my needs)
- a less streamlined process for "gaming setup"

I've also looked into Ubuntu (Mint seemed like a better "easy" option), Debian (seemed like similar pros/cons to CachyOS and Fedora) and some others, but I kept coming back to those 3 (probably because they seem to be talked about the most in the past year).

Hopefully that's enough info to help y'all give me some thoughts/recommendations/advice on how to move forward. Thank you very much in advance; I greatly appreciate any wisdom you'd be willing to share.

One of the best game series ever, and all of them have Linux Native builds. Make sure you buy the "Redux" versions of 2033 and Last Light, since those are the remastered versions.

The bundle is $7.49 for all three games

Hello, i'm pretty new with arch, so I went with EndeavourOS, which, as far my research went, is just using the archinstall script but a bit more friendly. After setting up Hyprland the way I wanted, I decided to try some games on steam, and I decided to go with Yugioh Master Duel.

Despite having downloaded nearly everything vulkan related in my machine, using gamescope and Proton, the game refuses to start. When I launch stream through the terminal I get errors message that note im unable to initialize vulkan.

I also do not have the option of using "vulkaninfo" nor "vkcube" in my terminal, despite my package managers telling me I do have it installed.

Further more, I know my machine is underpowered for the Master Duel game, but with research online, a I3 2365m was able to run it smoothly. Is there anything else I could try to do to have my game launch?

If you look at the left and top border of that picture, there's two strange white lines there for some reason. This only happens with HD2, I've never seen them in another game. I can technically get rid of them by putting the game in fullscreen, but that also disables my ability to alt-tab as the game refuses to maximise again after I do. I suppose a solution to that problem would also be an appreciated alternative.

I installed Bazzite (and CachyOS) on a secondary SSD a few days ago and I'm quite pleasantly surprised so far.

Two things I unfortunately can't solve:

- The FSR frame gen in Arc Raiders isn't displayed. I've tried all Proton versions without success. (GPU is a 6800 XT)

Can't find any fixes.

- A virtual keyboard like in Windows 11. I often need this when I switch from my PC to my TV with my wireless mouse.

Does something like this even exist? If so, how do I get an on-screen keyboard working?

I've been trying to get Helldivers to run properly on my installation of Linux Mint. So far I have: Switched from fractional scaling to non fractional scaling, attempted to install modern proprietary drivers, and tried running Helldivers with Proton version 10, 9, & 8.

Helldivers *will* run but the framerate gutters on everything, and even Low feels kind of sluggish. I'm open to any ideas.

I'm using an AMD Gpu if that helps.

Included is my Fastfetch data and inxi screenshot if that'll help.

If there's any more data you need I'll try to provide it.

One of the biggest problems preventing some games - and professional software - from running on Linux is their requirements for extremely invasive DRM that refuses to be emulated on Linux. Since games and such communicate with the GPU directly could future GPUs have some sort of protected memory that contains a decryption or authentication key that can be used to run the software? It would allow for an approach that is OS agnostic. It would suck because it would make cracking the DRM harder and requires a new GPU with the TPM or whatever, but it would allow the software to run on Linux perfectly, remove the barrier preventing professional software like AutoCAD from being ported to Linux, and I guess improves the experience on Windows because they no longer need the invasive rootkit.

Hey, did any of you here had an issue with steam app working just like you see on the video? Everything is so damn laggy, scrolling takes 10 seconds, feels like running at 1fps etc. When i restart the app it works perfectly, but still this is kinda annoying. Anyone got a fix?

Hyprland
Omarchy distro (btw)

I didn't have any issues like that on KDE, and i literally don't have any ideas about why it can even happen.

I know Linux has this “plug and play” controller support but the only thing that seems to work for me right now is the mouse for example on heroic I have COD ghosts downloaded (which supports controller) but whenever I connect my ps5 controller to my pc via usb and try to use it in the game nothing but the mouse input works I’m not sure if it’s because heroic doesn’t have a controller layout in the app but either way it’s just not working or if it’s because the game defaults to Xbox layouts (doubt that would change anything) I tried downloading ds4 windows and run the exe through heroic but that didn’t work I couldn’t get it to boot can anyone help?

Hey everyone, I’ve just started using Mint (been about a day), and I’m really struggling to get my usual games running properly. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Games I’m trying to run: - Assetto Corsa
- BeamNG
- SurrounDead
- Euro Truck 2 - Dispatch - Fever Meme

What I’ve tried so far:

Steam + Proton (Enabled in compatibility settings): - BeamNG only works when I launch the Vulkan version — the standard one won’t run. - Assetto Corsa just does nothing when I hit play. No crash, no error, just... nothing.

Heroic Launcher: - Switched to Heroic to see if it would help, but: - Assetto Corsa still doesn’t launch.
- Fever Meme loads menus and subtitles, but the actual game screen is black. (With sound) - Dispatch "does" work with no extra tweaks. Although runs slightly worse than on windows

Appreciate any help —
