Ubisoft erkennt Festplattengröße nicht richtig
Hallo, ich bin ein Neuling unter Linux.
Ich nutze Nobara und habe unter Faugus Ubisoft instaliert.
Nun ist das Problem das ich Anno 117 nicht instalieren kann, da Ubisoft mir sagt ich hätte nur 6702MB freien Speicherplatz frei (egal welche Festplatte ich auswähle) . Unter Steam habe ich diverse Spiele instalieren können, ohne Probleme.
Ich habe 3 Festplatten die jeweils 652,2 GB/ 833,2 GB/ 1.7 TB freien Speicherplatz haben.
Die "kleineren" sind NVMe und die große ist eine SSD, alle in ext4 Formartiert und haben Freigaben zum Anzeigen und Ändern des Inhalts für Eigentümer/Gruppe und Sonstige.
Kann mir jemand helfen?

Hello, I am new to Linux.
I use Nobara and have installed Ubisoft under Faugus.
The problem is that I cannot install Anno 117 because Ubisoft tells me that I only have 6702MB of free storage space (regardless of which hard drive I select). I have been able to install various games on Steam without any problems.
I have 3 hard drives, each with 652.2 GB/833.2 GB/1.7 TB of free space.
The “smaller” ones are NVMe and the large one is an SSD, all formatted in ext4 and have permissions to view and modify the content for owner/group and others.
Can anyone help me?

Looking to get into Linux gaming
So some background, I’m 36 years old, I messed around with Linux in my teens, but as I got older I got annoyed with all the tinkering and ended up sticking to windows.
However I recently been seeing on blue sky that there have been some huge strides in Linux and now we can play windows games on Linux? How do we do it? When I look on steam most my games like kingdom come and oblivion remaster are showing windows only.
I plan to buy an amd gpu and cpu and install steamos. Is that all I need to play all my games in Linux? I saw a post saying 99% of games can be played in Linux now. How do we do it?

Steam Flatpak, pros and cons?
Hi all!
I don't personally use the Steam Flatpak, and I'm aware it had some issues at one time as even the Bazzite team had to revert to a native package in their distro.
But I'm also aware a lot of people use it, so I'm curious... What's the current state of the Steam Flatpak?
What's are it's benefits and cons?
Not planning to switch or anything, but I'm always curious about these things.

Newbie - Bazzite Install help
Ok so I installed bazzite and guess i installed the normal nvidia drivers but my games run less than ideal. I think its because im using my 1080ti. Do i need to reinstall with the normal nvidia iso or will it update with the correct drivers? Do i need to do something else to enable the 1080ti?

Dual Boot Games?
I just set up a dual boot of NobaraOS and Windows 11, with Noabara being my daily driver. However, there are some games that I want to play in both linux and windows. I want to only install the game once and be able to run it on both OS's. The problem i've been running into is with the filesystems. NTFS drives/partitions break proton compatibility, as I was not able to run the games in linux if they were installed in a NTFS partition.
Is there a way to do this without installing the game twice? I mean, its fine to do that i guess but kinda a waste of space

Steam remote play hardware encode/decode with Linux client
Im trying to set up remote play between a windows 11 host with an AMD 9070XT, and a linux client with an nvidia RTX3070. Both are wired to a LAN.
On the client box, for what its worth, I've tried Ubuntu 24.04, 25.04, and 25.10, and am now trying out Fedora 43.
The only way I can get streaming to work is if I turn off hardware decoding in the client. This always works despite my changing the OS or OS version. Otherwise, using hardware decoding on the client yields a black screen (i can see the windows cursor and hear audio, though).
I've played around with all of the host and client advanced settings on both boxes to try to get hardware encoding and decoding working properly, toggling the settings on and off to test.
Both boxes have the most recent drivers for their respective cards (25.11 for the host, 580 for the client).
I feel like I should be able to do hardware encode/decode as both cards support things like HEVC and are very new or just 2 gens behind.
For example, when attempting to stream Ghosts of Tsushima usijg hardware decoding and with the "show details" overlay, I can see that the host is using direct3d11 and AMD, and the client is using VAAPI DRM hardware decoding. I still get the same black screen w/ cursor+audio experience.
Am I fighting a losing battle here? Im not super well versed in how this all works but despite that, im trying to maximize the hardware I have, and it all seems so capable. I want to ensure that things like HDR on the client are working as well as they possibly can while displaying streaming content, and im presuming that getting hardware decode working will help there. Is software decode on the client something I shouldn't be so resistant to? Maybe trying to get AMD and Nvidia to do the encode/decode dance, to say nothing of windows and linux, is too much to ask?
Any tips or experience here from those in similar situations would be great to know.

Does this happen to anyone else? After launching the Steam client will restart randomly in the background for whatever reason. On the latest Fedora

Visual Studio c++ on SteamOS / Steam deck
I'm trying to mod skyrim, and a mod requests I have the latest Visual Studio Redistributable installed.
As it's made for Windows, I have zero idea on how I would go about getting it installed into a usable state.
Any help is appreciated, I have no idea what I'm doing!

PoE on Arch
It's a long shot, but here it goes. After the steam update yesterday, I can no longer run Path of Exile. If I try, I just get the error CreateDXGIFactory1: Call Failed. I tried reinstalling the game, didn't help. None of the Proton versions will allow the game to run, though I didn't use any of them beforehand. I have been playing this game for months with no problems until now.

FPS comparison between Linux Mint and Windows 10 | Am I doing something wrong? - An update
After seeing the comments on my previous post, I decided to update my Linux kernel version and GPU drivers. Here are the results:
In Superposition, I was happy to see that the score increased from 17830 on kernel version 6.8 to 20640 on version 6.14. It even beat out the score on Windows 10 by a small margin. I guess my GPU was being held back by my outdated OS.
In Minecraft with SEUS PTGI shaders (4K High), I experienced a small uplift of 2fps on the new kernel version. This could very well be due to other reasons though, like the time of the day in game.
In CS2 (4K High preset), the average FPS in 6.14 is nearly unchanged compared to 6.8; however, the 97% FPS number increased by a small 9fps. This again could be attributed to inconsistencies in the benchmarking; for instance, the first run on version 6.8 was done over around 9 minutes, while the second run on version 6.14 was done over only 7 minutes.
Overall, the updated kernel did make a significant difference in Superposition, while improvements in other games were minimal.
Also, some people in the comments have suggested for me to switch to CachyOS (some others have suggested Endeavour, Bazzite, Nobara, Fedora, etc.), since Mint and other Ubuntu-based distros are slower for gaming. Should I try other distros like these next? If so, how should I proceed?

Help!! I need help running a game, please
I will preface this by saying I know absolutely nothing about running files on a computer or script, I have a chrome os laptop and downloaded a Linux game from itch, and I can’t run it or open it. I can get as far as ‘open with terminal’ and that’s about it. I’m really sorry for being such a noob but if anyone is able to help walk me through the steps to playing a game I’ve waited weeks to play, I’d be unbelievably grateful.

Yet another question about low fps on linux
Hello everyone, I have a mid level gaming PC, my specs are
AMD Ryzen 5600X AMD Radeon 9070 XT 16 GB RAM Samsung EVO 870 512GBStill, when I play games like Arc Raiders my avg fps is 70 with many many stutters, hitting 28~30 fps.
I'm on void linux, mesa 25.2.4 (I run steam through kron4ek's conty), kernel 6.12.58, hyprland. My init options are:
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 LSFG_PROCESS=arc mangohud gamemoderun %command%The craziest thing is that neither my CPU nor my GPU usage hit 100% when I'm playing (seen through mangohud).
Are there any tips to improve my PC performance?
Thank you.

Got the game running!!!!
Okay! You all helped a ton! So it may be a janky way of fixing it. So I switched my steam compatibility to proton10. Once that was done I switched the compatibility for the game to proton8. Not sure what that works. But it does. Thank you again so much for your time and support

Uninstalled all Xbox Games. Cancelled Game Pass. Playing Steam Deck only
Sick of what Microsoft is doing. I’ve cancelled Game Pass and I’ll keep the Xbox offline for now. I’m on the Steam Deck in the meantime, and I know a lot of people feel the same way. I’ll grab the new Steam machine and the VR headset when they land. Fresh start coming.
