Hello,

More gamers start to use Linux these days, and they miss the central philosophy of FOSS or DIY. User-friendly distros are great for beginners, but they shouldn't hinder learning linux progress.

I wanted to create a new easy-to-follow gaming guide, yet accessible to step into linux foundations.

While surveying online wikis, the best resouce I came across was FMHY's Linux Gaming List. Some links are outdated, and some projects like Envy Control may deserve more attention.

1. Do you see any gaps in gaming guides, which incentivize gamers to quickly ask a question? Any recommendations?
2. I invite you to contribute to FMHY's Linux Gaming list.

I know you can play Rust without the anti-cheat. However is it really worth it? Especially in EU? Since I have witnessed people cheating on anti-cheat enabled servers I'm guessing that servers without them are either non existant or just a breeding ground for cheaters. Does anyone have any experience with EAC disabled servers on Rust? Especially in the EU?

Specs: 13700k and 3080

Id rather not use win11 but I’ve heard gaming on linux isn’t usually as good on nvidia gpu compared to amd. Is that still the case? I mostly play single player games. Usually smaller closer to indie then AAA type games.

My main experience with Linux is via steamdeck so I’ve used protondb a bit before but I think it’s mostly for steam deck?

What district do you recommend? I was considering either ubuntu or mint as I’ve heard that’s the most user friendly ones?

Any tips appreciated thanks

Greetings,

short disclaimer: I'm not often on reddit and already switched back to windows, but still wanted an answer for this.

I installed Total Warhammer 3 through Steam a few months ago and it installed the dedicated Linux version. Unfortunately this version was about 2 major versions behind the Windows version and renders multiplayer with friends impossible. How would I have been able to force Steam to download the most recent/Windows version of the game? Does Steam even support this feature?

Hello everyone. I have an old laptop with a nvidia geforce 610m

I installed cachy Os (btw i use arch!) and it is blazing fast and responsive. I wanted to use it for light gaming with gpu offload (i am a little proficient with linux and arch) and i found out that the right drivers are nvidia-390xx. But they are not supported in the latest kernel (6.17.5).
I read that the nvidia-390xx-utils contains a patch for the latest kernel but it is not working, when i compile the dkms module for my kernel it stops because the function fb_create has changed the signature in the newer kernels. Has anyone come to a solution or workaround to this?

Tried Proton 9.0-4 and current Steam Experimental. Same result: freezing during logos, at slightly different points, doesn't go further than that. Verified files -- didn't help. There was some kind of weird message on first start via Steam UI, but it dissapeared in half a second. Red frame, seemed quite lenghty. Never seen anything like it before, and it didn't appear after the first launch.

I hadn't played CS2 in a while, and the other day when I launched it my monitor was no longer displaying correctly.

For years I'd been playing at 3440x1440, 165hz, no problems whatsoever. And now I'm forced into 16:9 or 4:3, seemingly no support for my ultra-wide monitor, and a popup warning that my display is running at 0hz. If I suck it up and play at an incorrect resolution close to 3440x1440, everything is very annoyingly flickering.

I'm on Arch with an NVIDIA gpu and Wayland/KDE Plasma. No problems for the longest time until these past couple weeks. Is anyone else experiencing any problems with CS2 lately?

I'm using LACT, and the 7900 GRE is supposed to have had its memory unlocked via a driver update eons ago. However, LACT still shows it as having an upper bound of 2316 MHz (it should max out at 3000). I am on Mint 22.2 Cinnamon. Here are the rest of my specs: https://termbin.com/88c6

Please help me solve this, thank you! :)

Im brand new to Linux and just made a big switch to bazzite safe to say i fucking hate the OS I can't even install my vpn which I actually require to do just about anything so I was looking at these 2 to switch to next but I don't really know the differences between different distros so wanted some help. I do wanna try arch Linux on my laptop so im tempted to go with CachyOS which is based off of arch but im not sure how good the software support is as I know pop is based on Ubuntu which itself is based debian meaning it has insanely good support

Switched to Linux as a complete and utter beginner about 2 months ago, and have loved every minute of it.

Any time I have had an issue thus far, there is nothing that hasn't been easily re-searchable. Whether through the wiki, reddit, google or even AI models (in more dire situations), eventually I have been able to tinker and find the fix.

However, there is this one issue I have with GPU usage that I just can't find an answer to. There doesn't seem to be much out there as far as any google or forum searches go either.

The problem is in the title, when I load games, I only ever seem to hover in the the 70-80% range for usage, leaving quite a bit of performance on the table. Ideally id want to float in the 90% range and could tamper with fans from there.

I've tried gamemode, different proton prefixes, custom kernels and updating drivers (and really everything else to ensure im up to date). But I cant seem to improve it. What might be causing this and how can i go about finding a fix?

Specs

OS: Arch Linux

KERNEL: 6.17.7-zen1-1-zen

CPU: Intel Core i9-14900K

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090

GPU DRIVER: NVIDIA 580.105.08

RAM: 32 GB

Not sure if at all relevant, but im on KDE plasma 6.5.2 using Wayland
