Hey there, so I have a work laptop with Fedora that I really enjoy, and I thought about getting Bazzite for my gaming laptop, but performances are tricky. UIs like Steam or the browser feel laggy/choppy, steam big picture mode is unusably laggy, and CS2 barely runs 30fps, when it had 200+fps in Windows 11. After looking into it it's something about XWayland adding lag.

What should be the best distro to try out that will support my hardware?

Lenovo Legion Y530 15ICH, i5 8th, gtx1060 6gb, 32gb ddr4

Hello, I've been playing CS2 on my Linux Mint 22.2 install through Proton 3.0 and whenever I quit the game, it continues to run? I have to go to through steam and select stop. Any ideas?

I had played the demo a bit and it worked fine but now getting a bunch of fatal errors running it. I don’t seem to be the only one looking around online, but wonder if anyone has overcome it.

I’m using an NVIDIA 5080 on CachyOS. I’ve been trying Cachy Proton, Proton GE, Experimental, Hotfix, 10, etc.

I actually got it through character creator on Proton 8 but then it hung trying to join a session.

Might be something that needs to wait for a fix, but just brainstorming here.

Hey guys, I just switched from a GTX 1660 Super to a RX 9060xt (I uninstalled the Nvidia drivers from Gnome Software) and I witnessed some weird behaviors. Cyberpunk 2077 installed through Heroic (GOG) works perfectly, while Steam games ran extremely poorly, with ridiculously high CPU usage. It turned out that that was Steam Replay. Disabling it avoided the issue. My first question lies there, why? I'd like to use that feature, since it worked no problem with my old GPU. Second, I'm currently playing Elden Ring, and I noticed 0 improvements. I still drop into the low 40s. I know that the game is not optimised really well, but that's a drastic difference in GPU.

I know this is a lot to ask, but can somebody help me? The only thing that I can think of is that something is not recognising right my new GPU.

My specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x

RAM: 16gb DDR4

GPU: RX 9060xt 16gb

SSD: 2tb SSD NVME

OS: Fedora Workstation 43 (Gnome)

Thanks in advance :)

I'm not sure why I'm only realizing this now but it's possible for you to run AppImages inside your Flatpaks.

This is useful when you encounter an issue with the latest Flatpak release and you don't want to waste your time copying/creating symlinks to a bunch of configuration files just so that you can run it outside of your existing Flatpak.

So we have for example the following patch which for some reason has not yet been tagged:

https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/18717

This means that it will not be available via RetroArch's Flatpak.

The temp. solution in most cases would be to either build the source code yourself or you can even grab the latest build off their github action/release page.

Unfortunately, nightly builds are only distributed by RetroArch using an AppImage:

https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/x86_64/RetroArch.7z

---------------------------

Extracting the AppImage:

./RetroArch-Linux-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract

Then when you launch the Flatpak:

flatpak run --command="/path/to/RetroArch-Linux-x86_64/squashfs-root/AppRun" org.libretro.RetroArch

Just make sure that the Flatpak has access to the extracted files using Flatseal, etc.

Has anyone encountered this issue running Warframe lately? I found someone with the same issue on the Warframe Forum but it wasn't resolved.

I have no idea what's going on, it used to work perfectly then yesterday I tried to launch it and I got this error.

What I've tried so far:

• Deleted and recreated the prefix
• Reinstalled the game
• Different proton versions
• Setting the windows version in winecfg
• Disabled shader pre caching
• Rollback Bazzite.

I'm not sure what's going on here/ what else to try.

I did have Goverlay with Optiscaler auto enable on but I've turned that off. Could that be causing this?

Hello,

I'm very new to linux and want to play wow classic on it. I have installed battle-net via steam, since when I've installed battle net via Lutris it can't find my GPU. When I've played WoW the previous days on Mint it has run fine, but I've had some stutter when I turn the camera around. Today when I logged in it stutters even more, even without camera movement. The stutters during camera movement are very noticable, more than before. Steps I've tried:

Installed protonGE and run it with that, no change.

Added to launch options: __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%, no change.

I'm running the recommended Nvidia driver, 580-open (haven't tried any others).

What am I doing wrong?

Some speccs:

Mint 22.3 x86_64

A little over a month ago, I decided to switch completely to Linux, specifically to the Mint distribution’s Cinnamon edition, and I haven’t had any issues with the games I usually play—except for Monster Hunter World. I have to set the graphics to the lowest settings, but on Windows I always played at 30–40 fps, whereas on Linux it doesn’t go above 10 fps.

What can I do?

Here are my hardware specs:

Processor: Intel Core i7-8565U (1.80GHz, 8th generation)

RAM: 8GB

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce MX150 + Intel UHD Graphics 620

Storage: 238GB SSD + 1TB HDD

Title. Genshin Impact randomly freezes, sometimes instantly and sometimes after a few minutes. I've done almost no troubleshooting, but strace says it's hung on an ntsync ioctl.

Runs just fine on Linux 6.19.12, so if you're having issues, revert to that. When I can, I'll build kernels from upstream sources and try to bisect.

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to get GTA V Standard Edition (from Epic Games) running on Omarchy (Arch-based) using Heroic Games Launcher 2.14.1. I've been documenting my troubleshooting process in a GitHub repo, but I've hit a wall and could use some fresh eyes.

Current Status: The Rockstar Games Launcher either crashes with a "CEF browser crashed" error or fails to launch the game with a "Path Not Found" error.

System Specs:

• Distro: Omarchy (Arch)
• WM: Hyprland
• GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1650
• Heroic Version: 2.14.1

What I've tried (detailed logs and scripts in the repo):

• Proton Versions: GE-Proton9-26, GE-Proton9-27, and custom GTA-patched versions.
• Environment Variables: USE_FAKE_EPIC_EXE=true, PROTON_NO_NTSYNC=1, SteamDeck=1, WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dxgi=n,b;d3d9=b".
• Scripts: Created both .bat wrappers and a Python script (launch_heroic.py) to force the correct working directory and launch parameters.
• Prefix: Attempted clean prefix generation.

Repo with full logs, scripts, and configs:
Link to GitHub Repo: 5PAC3/gtaV-on-Omarchy

Specific Questions:

1. Is this CEF browser crash just a cache corruption issue? I've seen suggestions to wipe .../Rockstar Games/Launcher/Cache manually. Is there an automated way to do this in Heroic?
2. Does this specific GPU (GTX 1650) require any special DXVK or VKD3D flags on Arch?
3. I've seen conflicting reports that Proton 8.x works better for Rockstar launchers than Proton 9.x on Arch+NVIDIA. Has anyone had success with a specific GE-Proton8 build?

I know GTA Online doesn't work, I'm purely focused on Story Mode. Any pointers would be massively appreciated. Thanks!

Hello!

i need help with a wine prefix. It is for Epic games store that is launched from Faugus Game Launcher

It wont detect the /media directory where my second SSD is mounted.

I have tried to do it by my self, didint work out.

The directory has permission to create and delete files (and the ones in it have read and wright permissions), tried to bind mount, created links nothing worked.

It may be the prefix insist allowed to access /media. But i dont know how to change that.

I tried playing but it was an awful experience for me.
I play at 4:3, 1280x1024 on Windows 10 (yesterday I switched to Win 11, debloated).
My specs are Ryzen 5 5600X, RTX 3060 Ti, 16gb ram ddr4 3200mhz. I am also connected to a KVM all the time because I use one screen for a macbook (work) and my PC (this is the KVM, it supports 144hz for my 1080p monitor: https://cklkvm.com/products/2-port-usb-3-0-hdmi-kvm-switch-dual-monitor-4k-60hz )

I was planning on using CachyOS+KDE as my daily driver, so I installed Steam+CS2.
I learnt that on Linux, apparently "full screen windowed" is the new "full screen", there is no full screen setting. The game was very pixelated, and I learnt that using X11 gave me more config options for Nvidia than Wayland, so I installed it (by default CachyOS gave me Wayland). I checked something like "Full pipeline optimization" on advanced settings to activate GPU scaling, but it was still pixelated. I installed something called `gamescope` and tried some commands. It fixed the pixelation/scaling but I couldn't move the mouse normally (apparently because of the way it fixed the scaling), big swings only made the mouse move a little bit, like 0.00005 sensitivity.

I don't remember exactly how I fixed it, I think the fix was in this post: https://www.filiprojek.cz/posts/cs2-4-3-resolution/

But when I played I felt like a latency all the time. Whenever I got a kill, the kill appeared to register after the fact, or when people killed me, it felt like I couldn't even react anyway because it already happened, enemies appeared on my screen and I was dead. And even then, the scaling wasn't completely solved, it still didn't look as sharp as it did on Windows. I really wanted it to work but with my many years playing, I know when something is "off", and this was the case.

So I went back and reinstalled Windows 11 in my main partition and left like 256 GB for linux (still free, haven't installed it). So I'm looking for advice on what distro and method to use to be able to play cs2 in 4:3 stretched normally, just like in Windows. I'm willing to install any distro that lets me do that more easily.

Hello.

Im developing a multiplayer FPS game in the Godot engine.

Im very early in the development, aiming for 0.1 MVP with one playable level, one gamemode (Deathmatch) and two weapons (sidearm and assault rifle).

Im thinking making it open source, but first i need to know is it even worth it.

My ideas/future features:

* Linux first (but thanks to Godot, it could run on Windows and Mac too)

* Community driven (no stakeholders to appeal, only the players): made by the community, made for the community, played by the community

* Style is modern, military shooter (Battlefield/ CoD style)

* Mutiple gamemodes (DM,TDM, Domination, Assault, Conquest, Gungame, Zombies, Ranked, Extraction, etc)

* Server browser, no master server, only community operated servers (to reduce costs)

* Central authentication for player profiles (and for banning cheaters) servers moderated by the owner/moderators

* Maybe a single player campaign in the far future

* Hardware requirements are: 4-core CPU Intel 6. Generation/ Ryzen 1000 series, 4-6 GB memory, GTX 1060 / RX 580 GPU

So my questions are:

* Would you play this game?

* Would you contribute to it? (writing documentation, playtesting, 3D level building, FPS animations making, i think i can handle the coding part)

* Would you donate to the development?

* Would you buy in-game assets/skins?

As per the title, I would like to know if it is possible to run a Python script when starting a Steam game by including the script in the game commands, a bit like what happens with Bash scripts.
