I don't know much about Linux, and I'm an outsider to this culture.

My son uses Linux for school because he's curious and it helps him stay more focused. I don't have friends who use Linux.

I have a project with a demo and received 4 reports from players who claim they run it on Linux through some sort of emulator. As far as I know they had no problems running it that way.

My game has this weird cyberpunk/hacking fantasy theme, which I think should make it more appealing to Linux users, and I don't mind adding another platform eventually, but I'm yet to understand whether it's actually important. The game is made using Unity.

Steam shows that I have ~1.5% Linux-specific wishlists. The number seems low, while maintaining the additional platform may add additional work (platform specific bugs, build times, extra SMS per update).

Currently, I'm thinking about adding Linux support and then updating it less frequently than PC build. But I'm just not sure if people even need this if they run games through emulators just fine (?). Additional platform support isn't "free" and if the game is going to sell 10k copies than the math might simply not work out.

Thank you.

Hello there folks, I am running Fedora 43 on my machine and since I updated I have the Problem of the cursor leaving Fullscreen on Minecraft every time rendering it fully unplayable, from what little I was able to gather myself it seems to be an issue with Wayland and Fed 43 dropping Xorg support or something. I tried game scope but it didn't fix the issue and I ran terrible. Any help would be much appreciated as I am getting that 2 weeks Minecraft phase itch that I would like to scratch. Thanks in advance for your input

Hi, I'm just a new user coming from W11. I'm still trying to understand how everything works on Linux since I've been using Windows for my entire life.

I've read a lot, tried everything I could but, Hogwarts is not working at all. Only once the game ran but it was really bad (like 2 FPS). I did a fresh install on Mint and I do not remember how made that work XD (not the game just crashes).

When I force the game with Proton 9.0-4: I got the error "Sorry something went wrong. Please visit https://support.codefusion.technology/pp\_inaa2nm/?e=88500006&l=english".

Also tried: PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr %command% in the Lunch Options.

My specs:

Also followed this tutorial to update the drivers safely but, when I run the purge command, my games on steam don't work and they're "running" but nothing is displayed (I need to restore Mint to fix this, idk if that's how it's supposed be fixed lol).

I think the only thing that worked was installing this file directly from the NVIDIA website and AI help (commands), which has the Display Driver 580.105.08, but as per the tutorial that's not the way we install drivers on Linux.

Any help is really appreciated, I don't hate Windows, it's just I don't like what it's become. That's why I'm just trying real hard on this one hahaha, but if I can't fix it I think I'll have to come back to W11 :/

Thanks!!

Hi, I use Pop OS and I recently purchased a Vader 5 Pro. The basic buttons all work fine, but the computer won't recognise the additional buttons at all. (Don't even show up with things like evtest.) What are some things I can try to get the PC to recognise them?

Hi everyone, I've been daily driving Linux for a little over a month now. I'd love to get into details and such but I'm not here for that.

Before I present my two issues, I would like to provide my specs as context.

Distro: EndeavourOS

Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma (using AeroThemePlasma)

Graphics Platform: X11

CPU: 8 x Intel Core i5-9300H @ 2.40GHz

GPUs: Mesa Intel UHD Graphics 630 + NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

RAM: 64 GB

Display 1: Built-In Laptop Display

Display 2: Dell P190S (it's so old that it requires a VGA to hdmi adapter LMAO. i got it for free from my father, alongside)

Firstly, whenever I fullscreen certain games, the transparency of the titlebar goes completely black and becomes stuttery. (So far the games that I noticed were affected are all goldsrc & source engine games, and versions of minecraft java edition after 1.13, both modded and unmodded. When it comes to the goldsrc & source games, this strange titlebar thing continues even outside of fullscreen)

Secondly, goldsrc/source engine games just fullscreen on my leftmost display despite my laptop's built in display being the default.

If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Please and thank you.

I recently downloaded Linux mint ( Linux noob) been really enjoying everything about it so far but the only issue I get is when running cs2 the sounds randomly stops mid game. I've tried adding SDL_AUDIO_DRIVER=pipewire %command% to the cs2 launch options but it seems to work for 30 mins then stops again. I'm also using a Razer Bluetooth USB wireless headset. If anyone can help me find a fix that would be greatly appreciated 👍

Hello,

I have a 4080 super and 7800x3d cpu, I would like to try steamos (currently always runned windows since i got the hardware). I was wondering if it is feasible/usable to install steam os since the holidays are coming and I would prefer to use it on my tv for the simplicity (I know there will be suggestions to use big picture mode but I don't want that). I wouldn't mind a performance hit of a few % since the card is already pretty powerful, just wondering if it's usable and what experiences others had...

Hello, I have 2 different distro installed. One for daily usage/work (TuxedoOS) and another dedicated for gaming (CachyOS).

I have a partition dedicated for common usage, from both installations. There I store things such as: games, multimedia files and other stuff I want to be accessible by any users. I called it "Common".

The thing is when I install a game, using Steam, from an installation I cannot start the game when I boot into the other installation. What I mean is: when I install a game in the "Common" partition, from TuxedoOS, the game does not launch from CachyOS. This happens viceversa aswell.

The uid/gid of users on both installations are different. While I cannot set the same uid as owner of the directories from the Common partition, I made a common group, which I added to both users and set the group of the files and directories to it. More so, I've set the games directory's permissions to 777.

Still games do not launch.

The partition is formatted to ext4.

I have searched online, about this issue, but all I found is about Windows dual-boot and NTFS setups.

Anyone knows if it's doable and/or how I can make it?

From what I've seen they're becoming a pretty interesting options due to cheap price, good benchmarking and that stuff but I don't know if they're a good option nowadays for Linux.

Btw I'm planing to mount a pc in 4 to 5 years

Trying to find the gpu driver for my 15" Razer Blade Base 2020.
In terminal: lspci | grep -i vga
Terminal says: NVIDIA Corporation TU106M [GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile] (rev a1)

When I search on nvidia.com i can only see A2000 series or Ada 2000 series for this driver. What's the difference? Seems that any driver file i download has the same name and size. Can I just pick any of the two? There is a section for Laptop gpu as well, files all same name/size, they are named A2000. It's super confusing!

I've switched to Linux a while ago and decided to play Spider-Man Remastered. I played the Miles Morales version on Windows at ultra settings and it worked flawlessly. But this time on Linux I can barely get 60 FPS on very high settings. At first I thought the game was simply heavier than Miles Morales, so I tried lowering the graphics settings, but the performance stayed the same — barely 60–70 FPS, with stuttering and drops to around 50 when swinging.

Any idea how to fix it? I'm using CachyOS and proton-cachyos, and my Steam launch options are:

__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 game-performance mangohud %command%

It does literally nothing right now. It's supposed to show only games for Linux, but with Proton, which is now always enabled, it treats all games as "games for Linux".
