I just shut down my computer as usual (w/ shutdown now) and when I tried to launch Steam after the next boot up, nothing happened (as in no GUI elements appeared) after several minutes so I killed Steam's process. After that, I launched Steam from the terminal with steam and got an error saying something like "Looks like Steam didn't shut down correctly..."

I started looking on forums and found a few stuff, so I tried out some possible solutions. The ones I tried so far were:

% rm -rf ~/.steam ~/.local/share/Steam % sudo pacman -S steam

(I did the last one because of reinstalling purposes, of course.)

Even after deleting ~/.steam and ~/.local/share/Steam, Steam "re-downloaded itself," this error message still showed up. Also, I tried running steam-native (w/ the steam-native-runtime Arch package) and I still get the same results. I'm out of ideas and I'm desperate for any help.

System information:

• Linux distro: Arch Linux
• CPU: i5-12400F
• GPU: RX 7700XT with the latest Mesa drivers
• Window manager / compositor: Hyprland (Wayland)

I'm sorry, but I don't know what logs I should provide (either from ~/.local/share/Steam/logs or anywhere else), but if someone clarifies that I'll try to provide those logs as quickly as possible.

So I have lutris and wine I installed today and played Alient shooter which is a 20mb game for windows.

But I want to play games like Far Cry 3 and other little higher graphics games.

Could I directly play it in ubuntu? But we need like direct x or something just like windows right?

How can I setup everything necessary to play the game on ubuntu? I have lutris and Wine

So I have Far cry 3 game on my pen drive and want to play it on linux ubuntu but it's so hard to setup and I am having hard time what is wrong or what is even right.

Can anyone help a brother out here please? I want to be able to play Far Cry 3 and other good old games in my pc but I am not good at linux so I am having hard time how to make it ready for gaming.

Decided to switch to fedora today from windows and iv gotten most bugs figured out but not all. The most irritating is my Corsair virtuoso headset audio quality is very poor now and it keeps randomly beeping. From what Iv seen I can’t download Icue which I’m sure would fix these issues.

Looks like more than "3000" players were using Linux.

I have an 8th generation i7 with 16 gb of ram. I'm using Linux Mint, but it doesn't seem to handle high loads well, in fact as soon as I start Android Studio or Unity (even just as soon as I start them) the temperature of the PC, CPU and RAM increases. I know it's normal in this case, but in my case the CPU and RAM increase too much in 3 or 4 seconds and the fan starts (clean fan and changed thermal paste).

For example the cpu goes up to 70%-80% and I don't think it's normal.

So I'm opting to change Linux distribution and use a lighter one that is optimized for heavy loads. In your opinion, for my case, which is better between:

1. Ubuntu Gnome, but with XANMOD kernel

2. Kubuntu (being KDE), but with XANMOD kernel

3. Fedora KDE

4. OpenSuse Tumbleweed (or Leap?)

5. Manjaro KDE

6. Other

I'm interested in the ones mentioned above in particular.

P.S: I specify that I need it for the PC to use daily for work and I need stability. Also I don't want to waste too much time in configurations, or in any case I want to spend as little time as possible configuring

I didn't know it would that good tbh, I'm having so much fun but the only thing frustrating is that monkey he is so fast wth is wrong with his speed is it meant to be that fast!? That just makes me more thankful for the developers and the community for making such a beautiful game. Can you recommend games that are FOSS and good like that one

EDIT: Title correction: Cannot run Modrinth launcher properly

installed Nobara alongside my windows, as I dont agree with what Microsoft is doing with Win11, and Win10 reaching EOL very soon.

I'm fairly new to linux, but wanted to install Modrinth. My first attempt was using the AppImage linked on the website. This opened as expected, however signing in is not possible. No errors, the window that allows you to sign into your microsoft account is just unresponsive. (See image 1)
Clicking anywhere does nothing, resizing to something larger makes makes the newly gained window space black. Resizing smaller would make everything white.

2nd thing i tried was using the RPM method mentioned on the website, which is apparently meant for Fedora distro's. Except, there's no link to a download. I inspected the web-page, but there's no link. (see image 2)

3rd thing i tried was following the last link, and using Flatpak to install Modrinth. When I did this, it would install seemingly correct, but when launching it would not open. It would show up on the taskbar/panel for a few seconds, then disappear again. The only error I am able to get is when using the first method, which only happens sometimes. (see image 3)

Managed to get it to run via console (the .appimage), but can only get a warning:
** (ModrinthApp:13740): WARNING **: 00:44:45.821: atk-bridge: get_device_events_reply: unknown signature

I simply need a hotkey that mutes vesktop, no Push-To-Talk or something like that. Only a simple mute button that applies to a single application. I tried some bash scripts but none of them work. I know that it should work, because KDE allows you to do that via the Volume Try Icon.

Are there any plugins, scripts or programs that will achieve this?

So I've recently learned of something called the Heroic Launcher and it seems to make installing GOG games pretty easy. Just log into your GOG account through the Heroic Launcher and install the game. But what about installing games without a Launcher? What if I'm completely offline? If I have all the downloaded files from GOG for a given game and want to install it from those? Or if I have an old exe of a windows 9X era game that I want to install? I'm sure Lutris and maybe even Heroic Launcher can be used for this, but I've never had any luck getting it to work. Can someone please ELI5?

It seems like games which use kernel level anticheat are afraid of enabling linux support, even more so than a few years ago (or they just go out of their way to not let linux gamers play the game). I've heard of / played multiple games that are no longer available on linux sadly. However, after the crowdstrike situation, I've heard rumors microsoft might move kernel level access to a low level API.

If this is the case, I think this could be a great oppurtunity, since the linux kernel could implement a smiliar API, one which we and game developers could also trust. This would enable these anticheats to be ported to linux with relative ease, and with a more secure, restricted kernel level access. This would make it possible for propiretary anticheat software to use an open and trusted API.

But even if microsoft does not go that way, the linux kernel could, which might gain some trust in the game devs' eyes.

On a more technical note, what's stopping us from doing this? Some things I can think of with my limited knowledge:

• you could just create a kernel patch, which would spoof the api with your own implementation, essentially negating the functionality
• we would need a way to create a kernel binary, which 100% undeniably implements the correct code, and this needs to be able to be validated by the anticheat software itself.

In microsoft's world we trust microsoft's validation, so if I ask windows "hey, is this software what it says it to be" we just trust what it says. Since we don't have access to the underlying validation services, the anticheat software could be reasonably certain that a signed GPU driver is indeed legit. But in linux you have access to all that, and you could just swap out the service with one that replies with "yeah, all good here", which would make this process pointless.

So, what do you think? Are we doomed? Would something like this even be possible?

The Sims 4, on my Pop!_OS distro, is running at TWO to SEVEN FPS on the lowest graphics settings using Proton Experimental. On Windows, the game ran at 60 FPS with medium settings constantly.
But now, with Steam Play, I can only achieve a max FPS of 8 FPS in the Create A Sim screen, and loading into the game itself is way too slow.
I don't really feel like dual-booting Windows and Linux, as I use Linux as my main OS every day, and I don't like Windows.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello

A few months ago I came across this post regarding the discontinuation of SamRewritten, the original SAM on Linux. Since then I've started working on a new implementation that I've called Samira.

While it's still a work in progress, Samira has core features implemented allowing game search, achievement unlocking/locking, and statistics support. I'm a little nervous to share this but hopefully it's in a state where it can be of use to those interested.

Release can be found here.

Please note Steam flatpak is currently not supported but I'm hoping to tackle this issue in the near future. Any feedback is appreciated.

I'm kind of out of ideas on how to fix it. I've tried searching for people having the same issue but I haven't been able to find much info.

This issue persists throughout different versions of MC, Sodium, Oculus/Iris, Java versions, and even driver updates. The only way to remove these lines is to not use shaders.

V-Sync seems to help reduce the black lines, but they still persist. The amount and size of the black lines is also affected by the performance / FPS I get. I tried different shaders, some deal with it better, some not so much.

This issue does not happen on my NVIDIA device, but it happens on this computer even when I tried putting a different model graphics card (RX 580 8G). The issue likely is within the MESA drivers, I remember not having this issue about half a year ago until I updated my system.

Hardware: RX 6700 XT, Ryzen 5 3600, 32GB Ram (12GB allocated) Software: Arch Linux, KDE wm, MESA Drivers

I've been wanting to try gamescope's support for Reshade for a while now, but after attempting to run the commands, it throws this at me:

gamescope] [Error] gamescope_reshade: Failed to load reshade fx file: CRT-Guest-NTSC.fx (/home/*******/.local/share/gamescope/reshade/Shaders/CRT-Guest-NTSC.fx or /usr/share/gamescope/reshade/Shaders/CRT-Guest-NTSC.fx)

Any ideas why this isn't working? There seems to be zero support or guides on this on the internet,;people show it works but no one actually shows how it's working or how they got it to work.

I was using it on arch with a 2070 Super, and a lot of things are broken

• All my games are stuttering, maybe the shader compilation doesn't work properly
• My window manager is just blackscreened after waking from sleep. (I'm using i3wm inside of KDE on X11). I still have access to my terminal but I can't see anything. If I kill my compositor (picom) I can see again, but everything KDE is completely unresponsive (such as the KDE panel and the system settings app, the plasmashell process is using 100% of one of my CPU cores permanently). killing sddm or rebooting fixes the issue, until my computer goes to sleep again
• One time my entire wm just hard-froze, I had to go into a different tty and kill it manually
• Steam was acting strange in general. I could not close the app normally without killing the process
• It would forget that I'm using a 240hz monitor 50% of the time when I rebooted, and sometimes switching it back to 240hz didn't work without another reboot
• Minor things like the resolution of my tty being different form my monitor's native resolution for some reason

I reverted back to 560 and everything is butter smooth. No more stuttering, no more crashes, no more issues after sleep

565 pretty much regressed to 2016 in terms of nvidia user experience
