I just loaded Fedora 42 KDE Plasma on my second computer (Main computer is running POP!_OS) and installed Steam/Marvel Rivals. The game ran perfectly fine with Proton-GE set in the compatibility tools options on Pop! but I'm running into an error i've never seen before on 42.

"DirectX 12 is not supported on your system.

Please update your Windows 10 64-bit operating system (version 1909 or later) and upgrade your graphics card driver.

Ensure that your graphics card meets the minimum requirements (NVIDIA GTX 1060 or AMD RX 580)."

My system does have an older card, but it is a GTX1070. Any ideas of what to do?

For starter im looking for a gaming OS (obviously) and want something that will challenge me a bit but still not too hard. My pc is with an rx6600, ryzen 5 3600, 16 gigs of ram and one 1 tb (for games and all other apps) and one 500 gb (for my os) ssd.

I logged on to a few TF2 and Half-Life mods and got the message (photo attached). Does anyone know how to fix this, or is my install broken?

I'm using Linux Mint 21.3 Cinammon, Version 6.0.4.

I have a friend who wants to switch to Linux he has rx 9070 xt and he didn't try Linux before but he now had enough of Windows shit with do you think the best for him

I finished Dark Souls and had a great time with it. Naturally I want to move on to Dark Souls 2.

I installed it via Proton as one does. If I go to the Steam Page before hitting launch, I can see that Steam detects the controller with a message "This game should work great with your controller"

I'm using the 8bitdo ultimate wired controller which has served me fantastically well.

However when I launch the game...the controller simply is not being detected.

I am not good at trouble shooting, can someone guide me on what I should do?

I use a Moza R5 and installed the universal-pidff drivers and they simply dont work. I've tested them in Assetto Corsa Evo and Dirt Rally 2.0 and I have no Force Feedback. For testing I've also tried ffbtools and again no Force Feedback. Somehow I haven't foumd anyone saying that the driver doesn't work and I'm becoming frustrated.

I'm running Linux Mint. I hope someone here can help me. I'm more than happy to answer any questions.

so i am very new to Linux, and i have been running pop_os 22.04 for about three weeks now and i wanted to play battlefront 2. I checked protondb and saw that the game runs without much tweaking so i tried running it with GE-Proton 9-27 and GE-Proton 10-1 and the game launches and stars loading but freezes after a short while usually after ea overlay pop-up shows up.

here is a link to the terminal output after launching steam and the game using GE-proton 10-1

Is this every time? Can i skip? Wth

Hi, I'm running Arch, I recently swapped from an RTX 3070 to an RX 7800 XT (brand new), it crashes KDE completly & shows artifacts on screen when launching darktide (2nd pic), then sends me back to the log in screen.

1st pic is of FurMark through gputest, are those things artifacts or is it how the test is supposed to look? Full command here:

$ mangohud gputest /fullscreen /width=2560 /height=1440 /test=fur /xtreme_settings / msaa=8 /display_info /display_osi

It has also rebooted my pc randomly a couple of times while playing Warhammer Total War 3, here are my full system specs:

-> Specs:

> Motherboard: TUF Gaming B550-PLUS WiFi II (AM4, ATX)
> PSU: CORSAIR RM850x 850W

Also, the gpu doesn't go above 68C while stress testing.

I'm also getting this from journalctl:

Currently I am playing a visual novel called 'Letters from a rainy day', but the in-game video stuck at white screen. I used GE-Proton but the problem is still there, so I know I need to install other components using Protontricks that provide the required codecs. This is my 2nd visual novel on Deck, the first one was also having the same problem, but after installed lavfilters, devenum, and quartz (even though there was error at the end of installation) the video finally can be played.

I've tried those three in current game but the problem is still there. I don't want to skip the video (like other people suggested), I want the video to actually play for best experience.

Slightliest of slightlys I have ever slightly slighted

System Info:
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: Linux 6.14.6-arch1-1

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT

I've tried:

• system update ofc
• various proton versions
• xorg and wayland
• looked at proton logs, didn't find anything, but here it is: https://pastesio.com/steam-2138710log

The game runs flawlessly on Windows. This is the only game this has ever happened in, and I couldn't find someone else with the same problem. So hopefully this is not a hardware problem.

Any Ideas?

I found this guide on r/BG3 but cant get past step 2 because the file is a .exe. im fairly new to this and am unsure on how i can do this, any help would be much appreciated

I just installed fs22 on wine thinking that when it runs horribly, I'm just gonna re install it on proton. But it works so well at max settings, I'm not even gonna bother. If wine is so good, then why do so many people say that you need proton if your gonna game?

My favorite gaming distro gets updated

He only stuff that does exite me a bit is KDE 6

So i want to change to Linux SO BAD! I want to learn more about coding and also have an open source OS to personalize and modify all parameters. I love tinkering with gears and bolts. The thing is that i play a ton of videogames from Steam, Xbox gamepass, Epic Games etc etc... I also have a youtube channel so i use OBS and Filmora. I want to know if there's a Linux based OS that has full compatibility with everything like Windows does. I would also love to have one of those gaming OS that has a console-like UI to manage my games but that's just a plus if available.
