i was trying to run some games (the witcher 3 and skyrim) on native wayland because i had some input lag with xwayland (not a deal breaker, but still annoying). when i tried to use "PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1" and "dispay=" launch options with steam's official proton (experimental), it just completely ignored them and still used xwayland.

then i tried to use proton GE (10-26 and 10-8). the games did start on native wayland with it, however, they either gave me a black screen or just completely froze after 5 seconds with the audio still playing. in the witcher 3's launcher i switched to directx 11, which made the game actually work but with incredibly low fps and disappearing models.

i'm pretty new to this proton stuff soooo maybe i'm doing something wrong? and yeah, again, everything works completely fine with xwayland and x11 session

edit: i DID put %command% and also tried with no "display=" thing

im on bottles rn, some games can't be run with Proton-GE and i need to fallback onto soda runner in order to launch those games.

then ik if we running game outside of steam with proton-GE, it lacks something, UMU is there to fix those lacks, but the problem is UMU doesn't have gui, so now im looking for it...

Hii everyone! I'm pretty new to linux (currently using the latest version of Linux mint cinnamon) and I've been having trouble trying to run a mod loader installer for Slime Rancher (SRML) so that I can use all my mods I used before switching to Linux.

I downloaded SRML from the official Nexus Mods page and I unzipped the downloaded file in my slime rancher files, but when I try to run the .exe installer using wine (I have mono installed too) it gives me the following error message:

"Not in game folder! Searching for SlimeRancher...

System.Exception: Could not auto-locate game folder! Please move SRMLInstaller.exe to a valid game folder and try again"

Thing is tho that the .exe file IS in the game folder. I tried multiple times to get it to work. I navigated to the folder manually and downloaded it there, I used "Browse local files" from Steam to access it, but nothing has worked. I haven't been able to find any information of help so far either, as posts that had the same error message just worked when they moved the installer to the game folder (tho that's probably bc they were on Windows instead of Linux). I've also verified that I can open the game just by opening the SlimeRancher.x86_64 (I don't know why that would matter but I was just trying anything and idk what may be of use for you all to know in helping me here).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! :3

Hey, everybody! I've been having some troubles running games properly on Fedora 43. I'll admit that I'm a bit of a Linux noob and apologize if this isn't the best place for this kind of question.

In any case, I've tried running games through Steam and locally and both are equally terrible, the game runs at 2 FPS for some reason and I don't know why. All of the games I tried were light indie games like Disco Elysium, I Was a Teenage Exocolonist and The Long Journey Home. From what I'm aware, my laptop specs should be able to run those:

i5-1235U

8GB RAM

1tb ssd

I read some stuff about the integrated Alder Lake-UP3 GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] not being supported on Fedora because of the i915 graphics driver, I thought about it being my Workstation install that might not have been a good choice for gaming (in hindsight that would make sense), but decided to gather some insight from you experts here first. If you need any more info, I'm happy to provide!

I don't know when it happened, but Hogwart's Legacy is now playable through GeForce Now, so I've picked it up on sale on Steam. (I've been waiting for GeForce Now support so I don't have to worry about what Denuvo will do to my machine/OS.)

Now, the question is what is the 'best' way to install GeForce Now on Kubuntu? I see several 'unofficial' snaps listed in the Discovery app. Is one of these better than the others, or is there an app I should install in terminal?

Thank you kindly!

(P.S. Oh, NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super. No problems detected yet.)

So when i first built my pc, i installed endeavourOS with no gpu(so igpu), and like 2 months later i installed a gigabyte 9070xt, not sure if this impacts anything but oh well. I've noticed a lot of games run a lot poorer than expected, I did install all the necessary packages like mesa(I think). Here's some info for the games i've played:

Minecraft(Complementary reimagined +euphoria patches, popular settings): ~30-90fps
BeamNG . drive ultra: ~40fps
Spider Man Miles Morales very high with some fsr: ~50-60fps

Am I wrong or is this not normal?

Hello. I'm on Bazzite Desktop (Plasma KDE) with an AMD 7800X3D and Nvidia 4060. I recently acquired an older second monitor since I was lacking one and while it is more useful than annoying, there is one unfortunate problem: the refresh rate difference.

I can usually get used to 60fps on stuff after a while of solely using it. But having 60 right next to my 144hz monitor is pretty constantly jarring - the second one feels mega jittery basically any time I do anything on it. It's not really a big deal but I'm pretty sensitive to that stuff so if I can do anything about it I'm going to.

So far I've mostly dealt with it by keeping anything framerate related on my primary monitor (games, videos over 60fps, etc), and a few UI effects have helped, like wobbly windows. But I was curious if anyone else has any tricks for making 60fps feel smoother?

I suppose I could mention that I tried overclocking it, but when I say it's older, it's older - the newest port it has is DVI, and it's currently hooked up to a VGA to DP cord that came with it lol.

i installed all four parts of the game i've put them in a file than used

unrar x thefile.rar

then used

wine setup.exe

in the terminal everything countinues normally until it gets stuck at 0.9% and never change. Don't know what to do .

i use nobara KDE

So I was using KDE Plasma Wayland, and Genshin was crashing at 1 to 4 fps. Intel i3-4150T Intel HD 4400 8GB DDR3 RAM

With Proton Sarek for DX11 support via Steam

But on X11 It's giving me around 40 to 60 fps on 720p low, which is the same setting as on Windows/Wayland.

I am on Cachyos.

But now the game works for exactly 10 seconds. It runs smoothly for 10 seconds before freezing and crashing. I am using the following launch options:

nmcli n off; %command% & pid=$! && sleep 12; nmcli n on && wait $pid

It somehow makes the game load faster.

Is there any fix?

So from last few days I'm trying to run GTA SA on my linux laptop Specs: i5 3230M, Intel HD 4000, 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz i downloaded game from steamrip the game ran fine on win 10 I tried Installing it on linux using wine it gave some Vulkan Incompatible error i got it fixed by the help of ChatGPT and now it gave some DLL error i tried fixing that didn't happened anything somebody help I just wanna see that machine run GTA SA idk why but I need it

I'm planning to switch over to Linux as soon as I know native geforce now works on Linux (currently official is steam deck locked but there's some github projects to skip that hardware check).

Electron version of geforce now added on windows atleast a clear input delay for me.

Does anyone have a handheld focused Linux and running geforce now on it?

Is bazzite the goto distro for this?

(specifically rog ally x extreme 2024)

Just asking if it’s possible to host the steam OS on to a 25 gb usb 3.0 usb stick and then download the games I wanna play on a vacant 2TB blue western NVME ssd and still have solid performance. Lmk please. Thank you! Also would teamspeak, discord, etc work correctly on this same setup? I just wanna keep windows 11 for my gta 5 and then when possible swap to Linux for game time on those games that don’t block Linux. Thanks!

[Nobara Linux 42] MediaTek MT7920 Wi-Fi stuck on “Waiting for authorization”

Hardware:

Laptop: Acer Nitro V15 (QNV15-41-R2GT)

Wi-Fi card: MediaTek MT7920

Distro:

Nobara Linux 42 (KDE Plasma)

Clean install (Ubuntu was completely removed)

Issue:

Wi-Fi networks are detected but never connect

NetworkManager gets stuck on “Waiting for authorization”

No password prompt appears

Connection never completes

What I already tried:

Full system update

linux-firmware installed

mt7921e driver is loaded correctly

rfkill list → nothing blocked

Tested multiple kernels via GRUB (6.17.x and 6.16.x)

Secure Boot disabled

Wired connection / USB tethering works fine

Same behavior across all tested kernels

Result:

Wi-Fi always stuck on “Waiting for authorization”

On Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, the same hardware works out of the box

Question:

Is there a known Nobara/Fedora + NetworkManager issue with the MediaTek MT7920?

Any clean solution (without downgrading NetworkManager or recompiling drivers)?

i've been using mint for less than a month now and ran into this error message while trying to run a repack using wine, i have no idea what to do since i dont even have an antivirus installed and cant find any answers online. is there anything i can do or this is a lost cause? any answers are appreciated cause i know nothing about computers

im mainly buying this to get fast speed ticks in Europa Universalis V but also be future proof for a couple of years. playing on 1440p. Framerate is also important in other games, stable 170+.
