I recently installed Bazzite on my GPD Win 2. I previously used Manjaro but wanted to try Bazzite after hearing good things about it.

I especially wanted to try out the gamescope session like the steam deck uses, hoping it could boost my performance a little and improve the handheld pc workflow when compared to running big picture off a desktop session.

However, I find gamescope session runs significantly worse than when running on a bazzite wayland desktop session, like -20 fps worse.

Entering big picture mode from desktop steam runs buttery smooth, and running a game via gamescope using the command line from desktop steam runs smooth too. The issues only occur when using the gamescope-session.

I understand the GPD Win 2 is an older piece of tech, but shouldn’t the gamescope session run at least on par with a desktop session?

Is there any tweaks I can do to fix this?

I am not talking about lagging from computer not being able to handle games. Even with lowest graphics settings there are very serious lags but it seems after changing graphicd settings to other values couple of times, I am able to run game on highest graphics settings with good performance without having basically a slideshow.

Can you fix this or is it a expected behaviour? I have encountered such problem 3 times after installing gamen from flatpak steam and running it with proton 9.

Hey ya'll, first time posting. I'm having issues trying to get this game to run.

I run LMDE 6 with updated mesa drivers so I can play the latest games. My setup has worked pretty flawlessly for my 3 years of using this distro, it being able to run my entire Steam / GOG library via Proton, up until trying to run this particular game.

The game is able to launch in Heroic and run through the splash screens, but after about 5 seconds, the error in the image occurs. I have tried different Proton versions via ProtonUpQt, different kernels (backport stock 6.12.12 from Debian and 6.14 liquorix), and even used my old GPU (6700 XT, current one is a 7800 XT) but it does not get past this screen.

It all results in the same error. Is it an issue with the game itself, or perhaps something else? I can try to provide additional info if needed. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hello guys,

I have been on and off linux. Everytime, the games compatibility put me back on the windows track. I'm using Windows 11, it's fine but it does not make me happy. There is always a warm fuzzy feeling to use linux.

I have a steam deck and I like using arch but my favorite flavor is LinuxMint. I have a few questions though.

1- Is the proton compatibility layer available for other linux flavor? Is the gaming experience the same?

2- I have steamOS and all things related to gaming on a different nvme drive. WIndows is on another. Could I just reinstall linux on linux mint and point where my files are? Would there be any issues if the drive is of course formatted in NTFS?

3- What will I lose? I'm using teams for work in the cloud anyway and I am mainly playing offline games and some multiplayer like age of empire 2 definitive edition, space marine 2 and darktide. Are there some titles that are a no go? For single player games that have launcher that don't play well with Linux, I could always sail the high seas...

Thanks in advance!

Im building a new PC and i used linux before but not with a Gaming envriroment.
what Linux is easy for driver updates regarding nvidia gpus and Amd cpus?
and not so important but also neat if it has it: easy for gaming (built in wine support maybe) and easy proton usage

Hiii. Soo i need help. Since i switched to arch Linux had a few issues i fixed and all was good but one thing i cant seem to fix is that my games keep crashing. Tried a lot to fix this but idk how. My system is up to date soo is everything i use. And the crashes only happen when i alt tab to switch the music or video i am listening to. The crashes happened during or after i alt tab back to the game. And this wasnt a problem before when i was on windows 10. My pc isnt that great but it gets the job done and now it seems that linux just shuts down the app (game) that uses the most vram. I have a nvida 1030 GT 🥲. All the stuff on the web tells me to disable compositor in the settings but i dont have it at all in the display settings. There is no compositor in it soo i tried the shortcut on keyboard to disable it and nothing happened as well in the console. Plz halp me this is a really annoying issues cuz i frequently need to alt tab and this makes it impossible.

I've just checked Marvels Rival don't work anymore and neither Apex legends, or gta online or COD.

So what online games we still have that work on Linux (I use Arch BTW).

Trying to use gamescope on RDR2 to get HDR support, but it doesn't matter what command I use as it always crashes before the game runs. I will see the launcher show up for a few seconds and then it closes.

The game does work normally without gamescope.

Here is a command line that I am trying to use. gamescope -f --hdr-enabled -W 1920-H 1080 -r 165 --force-grab-cursor -- %command%

I know gamescope does work on my system as I have tried it on another game with HDR support and it worked flawlessly.

Hi folks!

I'm planning to build a HTPC with Bazzite. While I'm up-to-date with the current GPU market (models, price, performance), I'm not up-to-date with the current state of Linux gaming.

Back in time, AMD was always preferred. But after the latest Nvidia drivers, I've seen people argue the opposite.

I've read that DLSS4 frame-gen is working but FSR4 frame-gen is not. And that Nvidia provides a driver-level motion smoothing like AFMF2 while AMD does not.

So overall, what's the current pros and cons of each choice? What would you recommend?

I was troubleshooting Marvel Rivals not using dedicated GPU. I tried `DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME` didn't work. Unfortunately, the Laptop's BIOS doesn't have an option to disable the integrated GPU.

Then I found https://community.frame.work/t/responded-dri-prime-not-correctly-using-the-dgpu-in-some-games/45912/5. And it worked!

The game opens a black window, which flickers once, and then closes. I've tried verifying game files, reinstalling the game, and reinstalling/verifying Steam Linux Runtimes. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm on EndeavourOS with an AMD RX 7900 XTX, with the latest Mesa drivers.
