So, first-time Linux user here for gaming. Here are the following things I tried
Distros used:
- Fedora
- Nobara
- Mint
For Fedora and Mint, I made sure to install the app that downloads the latest Proton version to download protonGE. I also made sure to check for any pending driver updates(they were up to date from the start) I installed Steam, and the first thing I did was detect my drives and then went to settings>Compatibility and set the version to the ProtonGE. Once I tried to launch the game, it showed as launching and closed without any error. This kept happening repeatedly for a lot of games, so my first thought was maybe Linux does not work with game files that were downloaded for Windows and are detected by Steam for Linux.

Things I also tried:
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the game.
- Forced compatibility in the game's property screen(in addition to setting the compatibility to ProtonGE in Steam settings).
- Reverted to vanilla proton version(one provided by steam)
- Installed both Lutris and Heroic for all third-party launchers.
None of the fix attempts I tried seems to work and help me launch any games.

Things I haven't tried:
- Installing Bazzite OS
- Praying to my PC to just work
- Giving up on Linux for gaming yet.

Here is the list of games that I tried launching didn't work:
- Death Stranding
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Tom Clancy's Division 2
- High on Life
- Second Extinction(Delisted game)
- Lego Builder's journey
- Dave the diver
- Tiny glades
- Detective Dotson(the only game that managed to launch)
anyone know how to fix this?

Okay, now this is cool. Frostliner puts you in charge of a train in this survival city builder on rails that's practically Snowpiercer.

Since the server maintenance today, I can't log in to HUNT.
Is this a known issue related to the anti-cheat system? How can I fix it?

I'm on Manjaro and I'm trying to use reshade with gog games via Heroic Launcher. All guides I can find are incomplete, as in there is no step by step setup for it, anywhere. No Reddit, not Youtube, not in any forums I can find. In Heroic there is a Gamescope section where you can set commands.

I been researching for the past hours about which linux OS to install and I'm not sure which to choose, I'm not making the switch fully but since a have a 480gb SSD that i dont use i want to install linux there and use is for gaming mostly.

I was thinking of using of the following OS:

-Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
-Kubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
-Fedora Workstation 42
-Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon Edition

I choose these since i believe this four are the most user-friendly OS to start learning and using linux but before going for one of them i wanted to ask about opinion of which of them any of you recommend and which of them have better compatibility for a AMD GPU user (6700xt)

When trying to connect a Nintendo Pro Controller or a Joycon via bluetooth (by pressing the "sync" button on the back), its lights blink for a pretty long while. After that, it briefly shows up between the connected devices, before returning Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed br-connection-create-socket on both bluetoothctl and the Bluetooth settings.

Furthermore, trying to connect the controller while running journalctl -f shows the error: bluedevil-wizard[11248]: kf.bluezqt: PendingCall Error: "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."

Both hid_nintendo and joycond are running (I did install hid-nintendo-nso-dkms without conflict alerts, which surprised me since hid_nintendo should be included in linux_headers). Also, 60-steam-input.rules, 71-nintendo-controllers.rules, and 72-joycond.rules are all in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d.

I'm currently running:

• 6.15.8-arch1-2
• KDE Plasma 6.4.3
• bluez 5.83-1

It should be noted that connecting the same controller with a cable works without issues.

Please let me know if there is any other info I can provide, or anything else I could try. I've been wrapping my head around this for quite a while, but I still can't figure out what is causing this problem.

I use a gaming laptop. It is the Zephyrus G16. Assus ROG.

This laptop uses Armoury Crate for adjusting the laptop to be on silent, performance and turbo mode. The basic setting manager for gaming laptops. However armoury crate isn't applicable with Linux

Is there any other alternative?

I'm playing little nightmares 2 via lutris proton experimental on fedora kde. My system specs is i5 10thgen, 16gb ram, uhd iGPU. My average fps is 10fps this is already on low quality and 1368x768 resolution. I'm asking maybe if there's something wrong on how i configure this? or maybe my specs is the problem itself. I play genshin in low quality also but i am able to play at 60fps there in which genshin is such a large game (maybe genshin itself is more optimized which is why its playable on my specs??). I also played little nightmares 1 on my old i3 3rd gen 12gb ram iGPU laptop (Windows) in lower res but it plays more smoother than this (maybe ln 1 is more light than ln2?) or maybe its not that optimized for linux since when i played ln1 it was on windows. Just want to hear some insights before i delete it if theres no other way. Thanks for hearing me out!

Hello, I have a laptop with integrated graphics and an nvidia 3050, I'm trying to use heroic, and even though I enabled use dedicated GPU, it's using the integrated GPU, when I added DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME=NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU. Instead of running the game, I get this:

A D3D11-compatible GPU (Feature Level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0) is required to run the engine.

with a black bar underneath.

I'm using proton experimental.

here is my nixos config: nixos
