How do I debug game issues on Linux?
I am having issues running non native games with Steam and Proton. No version of Proton works. Steam shows the game as running but the game window does not pop up. I tried running a native game with Proton and had the same issue which causes me to think that Proton is the issue. But i want to be sure and know how to debug and fix it and also in case this happens in the future again.
I tried running steam from the terminal but it does not seem to be much helpful.
steam.sh[9527]: Running Steam on pop 22.04 64-bit steam.sh[9527]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically setup.sh[9598]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date! steam.sh[9527]: Steam client's requirements are satisfied tid(9664) burning pthread_key_t == 0 so we never use itMy specs:

Ubisoft fixed The Division 2 on Steam Deck and Linux desktop
Why do so many Steam games with SteamOS + Linux "native" availability run so "paska" as Linus himself might say?
Aside from indie/small games and Valve games (God bless this mfing company) i had to almost all of the bigger titles using proton (experimental)
This War of Mine (base game) starts but if you add DLCs you can only run thru proton
SOMA ran the best out of all of the "big guys" except for some weird gamma errors/bugs
Dying Light one of the more praised LN games didn't start with or without bonus content had to use proton
Don't even get me started on the metro series, finished all games from 2033 to exodus, the steamOS/Linux tag is there only for gender/racial inc.l or something, at this point they can just straight up swap it with the lgbt+ flag instead
Are there are any big games that receive constant, careful and serious maintenance of their linux nat. versions? (aside from Valve ones)
PS: I'm NOT homophobic, don't ban me for it, used it as a joke can't even believe i have to put a note here

How much ram should I leave for the OS when running Minecraft server
Hello,
So I am setting up a Minecraft Server on an old laptop. I have installed the latest Ubuntu Server LTS. The laptop has 8 GB of ram and I am wondering how much of that I can safely allocate to Minecraft, so that the OS and other processes won't struggle. I don't plan to have anything else running on the server.

Can't launch The Finals anymore
Hey guys, since quite some time i have quite an unusual problem.
Every time i try to start The Finals it loads EAC and then tries to start then this message pops up.
Never had that before. I also doesn't matter with which proton i start it. It always runs into this error even if it says on protondb that it should work fine.
I hope somebody can help me :)Kind regards :)

Steam- missing file privileges
About a week ago, steam failed to download a CS2 update, with the error missing file privileges. Today i tried to reinstall steam, and now CS2 works, but i still have problems. Now, Garry's mod which i have on another drive won't work. I've also moved sims 4 to the drive i have gmod on and it won't work too, with the same error missing file privileges. I've tried different solutions i've found online, but nothing works. Im running LMDE 6 .deb version of steam

Does this Partition Layout seem optimal?
I wanted to play around with some AI tools (local not cloud) and had some BTC doing nothing that i mined a few years back. So I found a local supplier that takes BTC and have decided to upgrade and rebuild. Below is the old and new build, what I'd like to know is what is the optimal partition layout when I rebuild again with Fedora (no longer going to dual boot)
Old Build Dell XPS 8940 Origin / Destination New Build 10th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700K processor(8-Core, 16M Cache, 3.8GHz to 5.1GHz) ==> 10th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700K processor(8-Core, 16M Cache, 3.8GHz to 5.1GHz) 500W Black Chassis X 32GB, DDR4, 2933Mhz ==> 32GB, DDR4, 2933Mhz 1TB M.2 PCIe NVME SSD + 2TB SATA 7200RPM HDD + 2x Crucial 1TB SSD In RAID 0 Striping ==> 1TB M.2 PCIe NVME SSD + 2TB SATA 7200RPM HDD + 2x Crucial 1TB SSD In RAID 0 Striping Killer(TM) Wi-Fi 6 AX1650i (2x2) 802.11ax Wireless and Bluetooth 5.1 X Dell Nvidia 3070 8GB X NEW ASUS ROG Strix Z590-A Gaming WiFi II Intel Socket 1200 Z590 Chipset ATX Motherboard NEW Gigabyte UD750GM 750W ATX PSU Power Supply 80+ Gold >90% Black Flat Cables Single +12V Rail Japanese >100K Hrs NEW Gigabyte GV-N407TSEAGLE OC-16GD Gigabyte nVidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super EAGLE OC 16GD GDDR6X Video Card, PCI-E 4.0, 2640 Core Clock, RGB Fusion 3x NEW Deepcool MATREXX 55 MESH ADD-RGB 4F Mesh Panel Tempered Glass Case W/ 4 Preinstalled ARGB FansI would assume that the main OS and Home drive should be on the NVME to get the best speed out of it, I was thinking that maybe I should dedicate the 2x 1TB SSD in a RAID 0 Stripe to things that are not unique like Steam data from games, any Synced Cloud Storage location and perhaps the Downloads folder.
Does this seem logical?
Drive Patitions Purpose NVME 1TB var - usr - opt - etc - root Home - System 2x 1TB Crucial MX500 SSD ? "Home 2"? (usr?) Steam files - Hero Launcher files - Downloads - Scratch Data for LLM/SD etc type things. a working files Dir with nothing that isn't unique or backed up elsewhere 2TB SATA 7200RPM HDD archive slow storage for not important data. perhaps steams files I'm not using etc.Its it even possible to change the storage location for the steam files?

Use emulationstation-DE frontend and Supermodel emulator to play SEGA Model 3 games on Linux!
WIth emulationstation-DE frontend and Supermodel emulator, you can launch easily your #SEGA Model 3 games on Linux.
Gamepad support is enabled by default.
How? Tutorial:1) firstly download and install emulationstation-DE frontend from their official website:
They provide an AppImage with autoupdate at launch.
2) Supermodel:
You can install Supermodel emulator from Flathub:
https://flathub.org/apps/com.supermodel3.Supermodel
By default, ES-DE frontend will search for SEGA Model roms in "/home/your_username/ROMs/model3" folder. And you will need to copy some Supermodel files inside.
Open a terminal and execute this commands:
cd ~/ROMs/model3
cp -r /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.supermodel3.Supermodel/x86_64/stable/active/files/bin/Assets .
cp -r /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.supermodel3.Supermodel/x86_64/stable/active/files/bin/Config .
Sources: https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/USERGUIDE.md
Now copy your SEGA Model3 roms in "/home/your_username/ROMs/model3" folder, launch ES-DE and enjoy!
Nota:
If your SEGA Model does not launch, you can launch ES-DE in a terminal with this options:
--debug
to identify issue.

Wine games that use MIDI music don't work
So when trying to play a game on Wine that uses .mid music, The music doesn't play at all. I'm using Wine 9.0 btw. Here are the possible error codes.

fluidsynth -l -s -i -a pulseaudio -m alsa_seq -g 1 -o midi.autoconnect=1 gm.sf2
Or even Timidity but Wine just don't play MIDI music at all. I also tried changing the winecfg audio drivers too but the MIDI driver don't appear at all. I'm using Pulseaudio.

Logitech software for Linux and chair
Hi everyone, sorry for being off topic but I need some advice.
I need advice on a keyboard and mouse, possibly NOT mechanical but laptop style (chiclet). I took a look at the MX Keys and Mx Master 3S series as mice, what do you think? Is it better with a number keypad or without?
And I saw that Logitech software is not working for Linux, is there any way to customize the buttons of the mouse in Linux?
Or what do you think of ergonomic keyboards like the K860? Should I use a wrist rest or no?
Also Do you recommend a particular chair for sitting in front of the PC for around 8 hours? Something from IKEA like Markus for example or something else?

Strange crash with steam games
Hello, I'm a brand new linux user, but long time computer enthusiast, and I've encountered an odd problem I haven't been able to find a good solution to through the googles. I don't know how widespread of an issue this actually is, but I've seen some similar sounding issues on other threads without any real solutions that have worked for me. While playing a game (Elden Ring to be specific) everything runs perfectly fine until I try to switch windows using a triple swipe gesture on my mousepad. Once I do that, the game freezes, and I get the pop-up "steam_app+1245620" is not responding" with the options to wait or force close. Waiting just prompts the pop-up again after a few seconds.
I've tried re-installing steam, Elden Ring, but nothing seems to work so far. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure what all constitutes useful information, but I'll include as much as I can below.
Laptop - Framework 16 Ryzen 7 7840HS - Radeon RX 7700S (I don't believe this is a hardware issue as everything else works perfectly with the laptop)
Distro - Fedora 39
Terminal log from boot to force quit: (I'm still familiarizing myself with the terminal, so I'm not sure how much of this is particularly useful. Sorry if it's a complete mess)

Problem running Steam games on Mint (Litrus)
Hi, total noob here. Wanted some help with this because just today i was trying to hop on Lethal Company with some friends, so i booted up my steam games on the launcher and then it said this:
Steam on Linux now requires the ability to create new user namespaces. If the file /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone exists, check that it contains value 1. If the file /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces exists, check that its value is high enough. This requirement is the same as for Flatpak, which has more detailed information available: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki/User-namespace-requirementsWhat am i supposed to do? Help?

Deduping my flatpak and native libraries of steam games
Hi, due to some issues, running games on my native installing of steam (most of the time through the distro specific package manager i used over the years). Sometimes steam cannot launch games and sometimes it can, the issue im having might be related to some arch issue about steam but my distro is a while away from solving it. I was wondering, is it safe to use btrfs dedup (deduplication) on both my native steam libraries, and my flatpak libraries? because I am not fully aware of the preformance benifits of both but i assume flatpak will lag behind in some things that are avalible natively, also in linux i tend to have a flatpak version of something and a native version and try to dedup what i can because sometimes one of them works and sometimes the other works, sometimes there is a noticible fps diffrence, you get the idea. Due to updates the diffrences between a flatpaked version of a app verses native is quite diffrent.
