I have tried a lot of things to make the Counter strike 2 run on my desktop. I am using Fedora 42 and it does not have x11 anymore, beside that I much prefer use wayland instead, so this is not a problem at all, except for native games (???), counter strike runs poorly normally on wayland (with no modification on sh). I have seem some people modifying theirs cs2.sh in order to override SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER variable to wayland (default is x11) but while most of people complain about the mouse problem, on my case it does not even run (segFault). Recently I saw that valve make an update and include fixes for wayland version and it makes me try again, same thing. That is the only game that I play windows due the poor performance on linux (wayland), help me ditch this bastard again :`(

Context: I am using non flatpak steam on my F42 desktop with wayland and Gnome 48.1. My Cpu is a ryzen 5700 and a 7900GRE gpu.

Hi, I'd like to do more gaming with Linux on my machine that dual boots Windows and Linux.

However, I don't want to constrain myself with how much storage space is available to either OS for games, so ideally I'd like my main games storage drive to be accessible to both.

What's the most stable and compatible file system to use?

NTFS? Is the Linux support very stable now?

exfat? I heard it doesn't have the right permissions features for Steam on Linux to work well, or something?

btrfs? Sounds like the windows drivers are still very early?

Hoping for some wisdom from people who have experience with this, thanks!

I always hated to setup dual boot, bcs I want a single Volume Manager like LVM on an encrypted partition to control my volumes, and also do not trust Windows having access to my other Partitions, but I sill wanted to have a Windows I can boot to to play some games which are not running on Linux (which are not many tbh.)

So I came up with a solution, to boot a tiny hypervisor (minimal debian with libvirt), which unlocks the Luks and passes through the LV designated to Windows, as well as the Network, USB-Devices and the GPU. As I use virtio for storage and network, it's really close to native and costs only about 1-2 GiB of Ram and 4 GiB of storage

DISCLAIMER: I am very illiterate in all of this so explain to me slowly x3

So basically, I CANNOT get arRPC to work. I first tried with vesktop, WEB arRPC kept giving me "failed to connect to arRPC, is it running?" Even when any steam or non steam application is open.

It was frustrating but I went through the trouble of figuring out how to install node.js and running arRPC in konsle which did work.. But only in the Konsle. Vesktop still showed the same error. (Even after restarting and reinstalling)

So, I decided to try armcord, which I thought would work FOR SURE since it's intergrated in it. Nope. Not only is armcord kind of buggy, (which I guess is to expected) but absolutely no arRPC. Even with the web arRPC plugin..

And before anyone asks, both were installed on steam deck from DISCOVER.

On unrelated news, I can't get theme backgrounds to change. Even after updating the css with a URL ending in jpg, the code shows no errors but just doesn't update the image?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you. <3

If this is the wrong place to ask please let me know, but I recently heard that discord Linux finally got screen sharing with audio working, and decided to try it out. I switched to Ubuntu 25.04 but whenever I try to screenshare with discord it glitches out really bad with awful screen tearing wherever the pixels change (static parts of the screenshare are unaffected) and at some point audio just stops working. I haven't found anyone else with this issue and Vesktop doesn't change it at all. If any more info is needed I'll update this post but I can't take a recording of it at the moment.

I'm writing this using Google Translate, so please excuse me if my English is wrong.

I'd like to ask a question. Is it possible to play ZZZ on Linux? Can I run the risk of losing my account?

I want to start using Linux, and the only thing stopping me is ZZZ.

So, I want to play Elite Dangerous on Pop OS. Easy enough. The game runs.

The issue is getting it to see my HOTAS/Flight sim setup. I have CH Rudder pedals, and a CH throttle, and stick.

I managed to somehow get my pedals and stick working, sorta, but my throttle is driving me mad.

For stick and rudder pedals, it matters less as the stick has analogue trim settings and the rudder pedals are perfectly true.

But my throttle isn’t. Without configuration zero throttle reads as 10% roughly and full reads as 97%. Plus the thumb stock has a bit of drift and so needs a dead zone. With the CH manager this is really easy to deal with. But since elite only reads raw inputs, no amount of configuration at any level seems to work.

I tried running CH manager through bottles. No luck. CH manager runs, but it won't detect my CH controllers

I tried running AntMicroX, but these seems to be aimed more at traditional gaming controllers. It won't see my rudder pedals at all, and while it does see my other stuff, it does not allow me to do calibration settings (Options>Calibration) for axis; it simply does not see them.

What do I do now? Does anyone have any suggestions to get this to work? All I want is for my controllers to work. That's really it.

I really wanted to try out linux gaming, but I really am not willing to give up my flight sim setup that I have enjoyed for years.

exactly what the title says - i bought the deluxe edition for early access and now i can't boot the game. tried 3 different compatibility layers, tried disabling steam overlay, tried doing a system update and restarting. no luck. anyone else having problems? and anyone have any advice? the game is in early access so there's no ProtonDB listing yet, i can't cross reference with others - new at this and flying blind here

I don't know why or how but THE ONLY FUCKING GAME that i wanted to play all year doesn't fucking work on linux....crashes on startup up. They can get it fixed as shown by the Steam Deck but there is fuck all for how to make it happen (kinda wish valve would let us know how they fixed it in steamOS). I think i might just go scorched earth and go back to windows for the time.

Has anyone had any success dealing with Vanguard on a VM, be it Windows or macOS?

I want to move back to Linux but I play League/TFT regularly and it's one of the main reasons why I'm not moving back and wanted to know if anyone's had success playing it on Linux via a VM lately (with GPU passthrough and all).

This problem is most obvious in Minecraft, when I'm turning and open my inventory, instead of spawning in the center of the inventory the mouse spawns far away, is there any way I can fix this issue, its really annoying when I'm in fights.

So I'm running my FFXIV through XIVLauncher. I don't know why, but whenever I click around on my screen I'm getting micro stutters. It can happen anywhere in the game. Here's even the intro screen. It might not be super noticeable but you can see the screen make a micro movement whenever I click. It's causing me to have issues when playing in dungeons and raids and I can't figure out what to do about it. I've tried fixing wine settings. I've tried fixing the settings in app. I'm running out of ideas.

Hey everyone!

I’ve assembled a multi-boot USB drive containing 49 live-ISO images (≈184.2 GiB) across Desktop Linux, Enterprise Linux, Handheld Linux, Security & Pentesting, Storage Appliances, Utilities, and Windows (only unbloated tiny) categories. It’s hosted on a Samsung Fit 256 GB flash drive that delivers up to 400 MB/s sequential read speeds for rapid ISO launches.

I began with the CRT-Amber-GRUB-Theme and redrew over 100 category icons at 64×64 px to capture that amber-phosphor glow. The default unicode.pf2 font has been replaced with the theme’s fixedsys-regular-32.pf2, ensuring every menu tip renders in the same crisp bitmap style.

Under each ISO entry I added a concise menu tip describing the image’s purpose and desktop environment, all in that patched bitmap font to maintain the retro aesthetic.

Feel free to explore the full setup on GitHub and let me know what you think!

With SteamOS Linux from Valve about to expand onto devices other than the Steam Deck, like the upcoming Lenovo Legion Go S, Valve just announced a SteamOS Compatibility rating system.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

I'm planning on getting a new computer soon and I want to use Linux Mint on it instead of Widnows. However I've never used Linux before so I'm not familiar with how it works.

From what I've researched gaming is fine on Linux, I've checked on Proton DB if my games work with Linux and they do, so that's great. I was wondering whether modding a game is fine on Linux or not.

To be clear, I'm mostly modding singleplayer games and occasionally I play modded multiplayer party games (like Among Us, Lethal Company, REPO) with friends, but I never mod competitive multiplayer games.

My questions are:

- Is it even possible to mod games on Linux (I'm assuming yes but I still want to ask to be sure)

- Some games that I mod don't require a mod manager or a different launcher, you just simply put the mod files in a override file in the game folder (e.g Baldurs Gate 1). Will this work on Linux?

- Some games use a similar method but also require a program to launch with mods. This launces automatically when starting through Steam (e.g Stardew Valley with SMAPI). Does this work on Linux?

- Some of my games use mod managers to launch with mods on Steam, where you enter the mods through the mod manager and then launch the game there. This is the one I'm most worried about and also the one I would most like to work, since games I play often with mods use this method, like Dragon Age Inquisition with Frosty Mod Manager or Lethal Company with Thunderstore Mod Manager. Does this method work?

- Both SMAPi and Frosty Mod Manager are .exe programs, and I read somewhere those don't work on Linux. Is this true? What is the program supposed to be to work with Linux?

Sorry if these are stupid or obvious questions

I have gotten DX 12 errors for 2 days after it worked just fine 3 days ago. I've tried changing the proton type, launch options (using different ones, and different combinations), updating the GPU drivers for my 3050 today (got a little further, but now it's just crashing with no errors)

I'm stuck, and I have no idea what happened, and it's ONLY rivals that doesn't work. I've kinda exhausted all the pasta I have and nothing stuck to the wall

I'm running Kubuntu 24.04 as my distro, and my laptop has an i5-11260h, 16gb RAM, and a RTX 3050

Any ideas what is going wrong? It is the first game I encounter this issue. Engine is Unreal 3.5 if it helps. Proton is latest GE but same thing appears with Proton 9.04 and experimental. Only environmental variables I use are gamemoderun mangohud.
