We spent time making sure it was playable on Steam Deck and I'm very proud of the work done!

I have only been on Linux for about 2 weeks so I am a newbie and this is my first post. Wow will run generally fine till I get into combat and then it becomes extremely choppy and would be unplayable in group content. I did a ton of research on possible causes and I have outlined what I have tried below. None of these things had any affect on the issue itself:

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 / nvidia-driver-575 (proprietary, tested)

I have tried the following things to troubleshoot:

• Tried both installing/running the game through Steam and Lutris. Having the same issue on both. (tried bottles as well but had an issue with the battle.net client launching)
• Tried turning v-sync on and off
• limited foreground FPS of wow to 60
• tried disabling second monitor
• tried different wine versions: Lutris (ge-proton, proton-experimental) Steam (Proton Experimental and Proton 10.0-2(beta) )
• tried setting graphics setting in wow to lower settings

I did notice that in small text on the bottom left of my screen, occasionally I will get a message that says "compiling shaders", which in theory would affect performance. I am not sure if that is a clue or simply normal behavior running on Linux. I have yet to get this working correctly so I am not sure what "normal" looks like

Any help/tips would greatly be appreciated. I can keep trying different wine versions and maybe I will find one that solves the problem but I am running out of things to try

Hello everyone, I've become frustrated with Windows and what Microsoft has been doing with it, so I've decided to switch to Linux on my main device. However, I don't have enough experience to choose the best distribution.

I'm currently focused on learning programming and working on college projects, but I also enjoy gaming and would like to play some titles in the future.

I’d also like to know if it’s possible to run games and programs that aren’t from Steam smoothly on Linux.

My laptop spaces: Intel i5 10300 H Gtx 1650ti 16GB RAM

And what about undervolting for the Intel CPU on Linux as I use ThrottleStop at Windows and my laptop doesn't support undervolting from the BIOS

the fun part is that the windows version with proton run at like 150fps~~ but it seems that you can't play in vac servers with it, also i don't think my pc is bad bcus i can play insurgency sandstorm with maximum graphics at 120 fps~~, war thuder with maximum graphics at 150+ fps, pvp minecraft servers at 300fps~~

specs: CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5-2696 v3 (36) @ 3.80 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 [Discrete]
Memory: 64gb ddr4 quad-channel
OS: CachyOS

So as the title says i am considering switching my pc to linux. I have used linux in and out my whole life and i know how to use ubuntu, mint etc. But now i want to switch my pc to linux. I mainly play games on my pc so i was wondering if most steam games work on linux. I mainly play competitive games like cs2, tekken, street fighter and various fighting games. Also i have many games on epic games store and was wondering if that works on linux too. And lastly i have bought minecraft from the microsoft store. Is there any way i can download that from the minecraft website or do i lose all windows store games.

DuckStation dev says he will remove Linux support because "2%" of the consumer base they are in linux and "bombing" him with complains.

I was not able to install AMD pro drivers along side Mesa3D drivers for my AMD graphics, specifically AMD pro OpenGL driver works better without glitches with some games ie X-Plane11. You can now install and use AMD pro drivers easily on Ubuntu using the installation scripts from

I suggest trying progl-installer-614 version as I found it is more compatible with games

Olá a todos!

Estou com uma ideia de projeto e gostaria de saber se a comunidade teria interesse e se poderíamos colaborar.

A ideia é criar um aplicativo nativo para Linux que funcione como um launcher e cliente de GTA RP, mas sem a necessidade de usar o Wine, Proton ou máquinas virtuais (KVM).

Qual o objetivo?

O objetivo principal é oferecer uma experiência de GTA RP nativa, fluida e otimizada para usuários de Linux, que não teriam que lidar com as complexidades de compatibilidade de um aplicativo feito para Windows. Isso preencheria uma grande lacuna na comunidade de jogos de RP no Linux.

Como funcionaria?

O aplicativo seria criado do zero, usando frameworks nativos do Linux (como Qt ou GTK), e teria as seguintes funcionalidades:

• Gerenciar o jogo GTA V (usando a versão já instalada do Steam/Proton).
• Conectar-se diretamente a servidores de GTA RP.
• Gerenciar mods e recursos do servidor.
• Oferecer uma interface amigável para os jogadores.

Por que este projeto?

Acredito que há uma demanda crescente por soluções nativas de jogos no Linux. Criar um cliente dedicado seria uma forma inovadora de fortalecer a comunidade e facilitar o acesso ao GTA RP para mais pessoas.

O que eu preciso?

Eu não tenho o conhecimento técnico necessário para programar ou arquitetar um projeto dessa escala. Por isso, estou procurando pessoas que sejam especialistas em:

• Programação em C++, Python ou outras linguagens.
• Desenvolvimento de interfaces gráficas (GUI).
• Configuração de redes e comunicação de cliente/servidor.
• Conhecimento de games e da comunidade de GTA RP.

Se você gostou da ideia e tem interesse em colaborar, por favor, responda a este tópico ou me envie uma mensagem. Vamos juntos fazer essa ideia se tornar realidade!

Obrigado, u/Tricky_Plum_6014

I'm running dual boot on my machine because Fortnite and Anti-Cheat (get fucked Tim Sweeney Todd) ya know the drill.

The thing is that booting into Windows to play with my friends once a week and going, "Hang on guys, gotta update the game." is annoying as hell. Is there anyway to run my Windows install from Linux and update without having to restart my entire PC and wait for the update? I know I can't actually run the game, because anti-cheat, I just want to be able to update the game without having to stop everything and wait.

Cachy OS (Arch based) Kernel 6.16.0-2 high cachyos Wine-ge8-26-x86_64 installed via pacman

Well, I don't know why, I wanted to install Epic games (not Heroic, as I think Lutris is more customizable, and for me it's like a hub), and it simply won't open, it keeps looping saying update, finished, Epic closes, is there a way to solve it?

Im on Cachy os with a 7900xt. HDR worked before when playing this but ive had it uninstalled for a while. I can either launch the game with no commands and no HDR option or iv tried gamescope and wayland commands and both wont launch the game. Tried

DXVK_HDR=1 gamescope -f -W 2560 -H 1440 --hdr-enabled --force-grab-cursor --adaptive-sync --hdr-debug-force-output -- %command%

and

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 game-performance %command%

Tried GE, Cachyos, experimental, and beta. How are you guys running this game with HDR?

Operating System: Bazzite 42 Kernel: Linux 6.15.6-105.bazzite.fc42.x86_64 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K (8 Cores) @ 4.20 GHz GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT [Discrete] RAM: 16GB DDR4 3000 Display: 3840x2160 @ 60 Hz (scaled as 2560x1440) on a 32" External monitor Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma 6.4.3 (released July 15, 2025) Window Manager: KWin (Wayland)

Since moving to Bazzite from Windows 10 I have been noticing frametime spikes regardless of the game I've been playing. At their gentlest they look more like bumps on the frametime graph and are consistently spaced out, normally there are one or two spikes every few seconds, even when motionless. I haven't been able to determine a rhyme or reason. It happens with Quake (remastered), Half-Life 2, Doom (2016), Doom Eternal, etc.

I've tried multiple resolutions and graphical settings, RADV_PERFTEST flags, turning down my mouse's polling rate, and used LACT to max out my hardware clocks. The framerate is otherwise stable aside from the spikes. A particularly acute case I noticed had big spikes occur when I swept my mouse back and forth in Quake, with somewhat similar behavior in Half-Life 2. Curiously for Half-Life 2, when I cranked up my GPU clockspeed, there were fewer spikes, but they were high and lasted longer. Mangohud also always seems to say my GPU is running between 60% - 70% utilization regardless of what is on screen.

On Windows I didn't have this issue, I remember playing through Half-Life 2 when the anniversary update came out and marveled at how buttery smooth it was the whole time.

I'd appreciate any insights or suggestions.

EDIT: After writing all this I have noticed during my testing tonight that I can even notice a hitch on my desktop, so this is not limited to games it seems. I'm not noticing VRR flicker, however, which is something I do notice while idling in a game.

For some reason steam is using my 8080 port for a cef debug, why is it happening and is there a way to disable it?

Hello people, I have a 2008 laptop on which I installed Linux and I have only used it for multimedia, but now I want to take the leap and try installing Stardew Valley, which I understand requires almost nothing, this laptop comes with a dedicated Intel GMA 3600 400Mhz graphics card and I don't even know if it can open Steam, what path can I follow? I don't know anything about Linux but I've heard that it has a lot to offer and I'm experimenting.

So i believe the only way to enable crossplay is to have the xbox PC app installed on the machine and log into your xbox account. any way to do this on linux? or any workarounds to play with friends that are on xbox?
