New Steam Games with Native Linux Clients, including S.P.L.I.T. - 2025-07-30 Edition
Who remembers playing this game as a kid?
Who remembers playing this classic game back in the '90s? It feels like just yesterday we were huddled around old TVs or chunky monitors, completely immersed in worlds that sparked our imagination. I decided to revisit it and take a trip down memory lane and honestly, it reminded me why we fell in love with gaming in the first place. These games weren’t just entertainment; they were experiences, memories, and a huge part of growing up.

Games laggy: is this linux or hardware issue?
So I have a laptop with 16GB ram on linux mint. I can run games such as skyrim, terraria, and stardew valley perfectly. However, when I try content warning or lethal company, I experience some crazy lag issues even with reduced settings. These are the only games I have tried on here so that is the most info I can give now. I want to play grounded 2, peak, and some other games but I am worried they will run like content warning and lethal company. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Performance issue - power_dpm_force_performance_level
While testing GameMode with the performance CPU governor and power_dpm_force_performance_level set to high in gamemode.ini, i observed a drop in performance instead of the expected improvement.
Initially, i suspected that GameMode itself might be the issue.
To isolate the cause, i first ran a benchmark with only the performance governor enabled, and performance remained consistent with expectations.
I then disabled the performance governor and manually changed power_dpm_force_performance_level from auto to high.
At this point, the performance drop became clearly reproducible.
Thermal throttling has been ruled out—temperatures remain within normal operating limits.
All tests were conducted on fresh installations of both Arch Linux and Gentoo, and the issue was observed consistently across both systems.
Has anyone else ever had this problem and can confirm it?
Spec:
RX 9070 XT
Ryzen 7 5800X3D

What???
Linux'da Oyunlarım Açılmıyor!
Linux’ta hiçbir oyunumu oynayamıyorum. Steam’den oyunları başlatınca hiç açılmıyor, ama dosyalardan Wine ile başlatınca sadece The Last of Us 2’nin launcher’ı geliyor. Sonrasında DX12 hatası veriyordu galiba, hatayı tam hatırlamıyorum. Yusuf İpek 'in oyun rehberini izledim, yine de çalışmadı.
Cachy OS ve Zorin OS de aynı sorunu yaşadım.

Battlefield 4 - I am being bullied by the EA app
Hello. Am on archlinux, KDE with wayland, using `linux` kernel, Ryzen 5 3600X with a 5700XT GPU.
I own Battlefield 4 on Steam and tried running it with proton 9, experimental, hotfix and the 10.1 beta (experimental was the one I used when the game was working before).
I used to be able to run the game just fine, say for the EA app seldom complaining about its internet connection, though that never stopped me from actually playing the game. However, I recently reinstalled and then was away from the rig for a week or two and now I get the 'Servers took too long to do their server things, check your internet connection' (ew, who wrote this) error message from the EA app upon trying to launch the game.
Through wireshark, I found out that it is trying to resolve `confluence.ea.com`, which does not appear to exist anymore. I also tried just blackholing that address to localhost but predictably that did not fix the issue. I also tried reinstalling the game, removing the steam prefix (that made the game not launch at all I believe) and fresh installling the game to an entirely different drive just to avoid any older files causing issues.
Could somebody help me troubleshoot this please? Thanks in advance

Is lossless scaling working good on Linux?
Is it worth 7 dollars? I wonder if it works as great on Linux as on Windows and what kind of features are unavailable on Linux.

Ubuntu kernel with OSS and ntsync
Default Ubuntu kernel does not include OSS emulation (Open Sound System), you can read about it more on https://onthim.blogspot.com/2015/02/get-open-sound-system-oss-applications.html
I have compiled Ubuntu kernel with OSS support enabled in the kernel, you can download and install the packages on Ubuntu 24.04 from https://onthim.blogspot.com/p/onthim-downloads.html Linux kernel for Ubuntu 24.04 (64 Bit) one.
After installing the packages make sure to use sudo apt-mark hold on the installed packages like shown below for Ubuntu not automatically upgrading to the repository ones:
sudo apt-mark hold linux-modules-extra-6.14.0-27-generic
sudo apt-mark hold linux-modules-6.14.0-27-generic
sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-unsigned-6.14.0-27-generic
sudo apt-mark hold linux-headers-6.14.0-27-generic
sudo apt-mark hold linux-buildinfo-6.14.0-27-generic
sudo apt-mark hold linux-hwe-6.14-headers-6.14.0-27

How can I make Linux Gaming more popular or improve it on my scale?
Everything is in the title. I would like to make Linux gaming better, or make it more popular but I don't know how to code and I don't have social medias (Youtube, Tiktok ...) accounts.

Best os for my setup
Im looking into Linux as a life long Windows user and not a ton of software knowledge. Mainly for gaming and basic web surfing, I have a 4060ti with a ryzen 5 5600x. Also have a laptop with a 1660ti and Intel 7 11th gen with a boat load of ram. Any suggestions on what os will run some newer and slightly niche games like kf3 and 7 days to die and be pretty simple to use right out of the box? Thanks yall

Well finally the waterblock arrived
You might remember my post where my 9070xt was hanging for its life around in there… well now its not anymore!
Just some hardwarestuff between the „which gaming distro should I use?“ threads

[Question] Any way to increase the power cap limit of Radeon RX 9070 on Linux? (CachyOS)
Hey everyone,
Is there any way to increase the power cap limit of the Radeon RX 9070 under Linux?
On Windows, the Adrenalin driver allows up to +10% power limit, which the card handles just fine — it brings performance quite close to an RX 9070 XT. But on Linux, I'm stuck.
Using CachyOS, and tools like lact only allow undervolting, memory tuning, and basic frequency adjustments — but there's no way to raise the power limit, only lower it.
Has anyone figured out a workaround?
Thanks in advance for any tips!

(I listed the names incase someone out there are trying to search these games in linux)
