I have just heard about the issue about the Nvidia 550 driver but have only heard that it is causing issues on laptops and was wondering if it would cause issues on desktop as well before I upgrade as I don't want to brick my system

I am looking for competitive FPS Shooter for Linux, something similar to Valorant and Rainbow Six Siege, but both of games are not supported on Linux, so is there any game (which is not CS, because one of the criterias is avaibility of, at least, some abilities like in R6S or Valorant), I am just curious because it makes me feel rather uneasy that I couldn't find anything like that on Linux

Welcome to the newbie advice thread!

If you’ve read the FAQ and still have questions like “Should I switch to Linux?”, “Which distro should I install?”, or “Which desktop environment is best for gaming?” — this is where to ask them.

Please sort by “new” so new questions can get a chance to be seen.

So i wanted to sit back and play a game on chill mode (controller) and i noticed the gameplay was not smooth. So i turned on Mangohud and noticed frame time variability while using the controller and smoother play with the mouse. This game was installed with Heroic Games Launcher (GOG game). With Wine GE Proton 8-26. Running on Fedora 40. R9 7900x, RX 6750XT. Has anyone experienced this?

I tried the Pimax 8k and Crystal before, and they were pretty good for sim flight and sim race. Pimax has just released the new headset, Crystal Light. According to the official, it has got rid of the battery and the standalone mode, which makes it weigh much lighter. I would recommend Crystal Light more than Crystal, tbh, given that the core features are kept. For VR enthusiasts who are based in the US, I would personally recommend you join Pimax's roadshow and try it, compare it with other brands. For anyone who is interested, here's the link: Pimax Roadshow.

Hey,

I'm normally a very Linux-savvy user (has run various distros on and off for 15+ years) but this has me stumped. Running Opensuse Tumbleweed at the moment.

Problem 1:

I've signed into EGS via the Heroic Launcher. I've set the default installation path to /home/<user>/Games/Heroic - where /Games/ is a mounted 1 TB SSD separate from my main drive.

I installed Dishonored but there's no files located on /Games/ at all! This is so odd because I've set permissions to 777 and can create directories via the local user....and the game launches without any issues.

Problem 2:
Via EGS, I installed the Genshin Impact launcher....and when I try to download the game, the location is set to /Games/Heroic/Genshin but despite having 430 GB free...it says there's - 10B.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

I have been switching from windows10 and now that I am more comfortable with the system, I am starting to work on games.

Kubuntu KDE plasma, 7600x, 4070ti, the games work fine on windows 10. All drivers are updated.

When I start the games in steam, it goes through the motions and looks like it wants to start. Doomx64 shows up as a process in system monitor and I can hear the Doom start menu sound effects. It stays this way till I click "stop" in the steam window.

It is running in compatibility mode and I have tried several of the proton releases. I have other games that work just fine (portal, half-life 2, stray, surviving mars)

Thanks for any ideas

Hello, sorry for the size of the post but I wanted to share my thoughts with other people.

A few days ago I started using Linux as the main system in a dual boot. Since my PC is somewhat old (around 8 years old) but I still don't plan to change it in the long term. However, as everyone knows, Windows 10 support will end next year and although I have tried Windows 11 and it is not bad at all on my hardware, I don't see myself using it on a daily basis.

So I decided to give Linux a chance, choosing something based on Ubuntu, but light and with a certain community, so I opted for pop os.

(I have professional knowledge in the field of Linux servers, but I have never used it in my daily life at the user level.)

I remember that a few years ago when proton was released i try Fallout New Vegas was on this PC out of mere curiosity, the performance was horrible and there were graphic bugs such as the rotating NPC heads that were solved in the first New Vegas patches when the videogame came out.

I remember at that moment thinking, damn, this still has a long way to go. However, this week I was trying out some games, I'm not excessively demanding (CSGO/Apex legends-cozy games)

My first test was with CSGO2 and damn, how badly that video game runs on Linux, don't ask me why, I have tried various launch options and even though the game is technically a native port to Linux created by one of the biggest promoters of the Linux gaming world, it runs unplayable on my PC.

Then I tried TF2 and I would literally say that it worked even worse, this game would not even reach the main menu, instantly killing my desktop and forcing me to enter text mode to kill the process.

I was really starting to lose hope, but I decided to try a couple more games, precisely games that did not have native ports to Linux like Farlands Demo (a new cozy Stardew Valley type video game) and I managed to run it quite well using lutris.

Today I decided to try skyrim Se with proton 8.0.5 and although initially I had some issues where the game literally refused to boot, from what I was reading it is due to some type of incompatibility with ntfs partitions (I had it installed on an ntfs HDD that I use for video games on both Windows and Linux) So I decided to install it on my SSD where I have the Linux partition and magically the game is I execute in the first try.

And let me tell you that it ran literally 1:1 to the version of Windows that I have, I was playing the entire introduction of the dragon attack and I really didn't see or feel any problems.

It pleasantly surprises me and gives me more hope of being able to switch completely to Linux one day.

For various reasons, I don't like steam OS but I also don't want to use windows.

Are there any distributions with good OSK and Controller support with a recent kernal?

Wizards of Linux Gaming. I need you.

So, I am setting up my second Bazzite Deck OS on my desktop. My first was on a 128GB SSD. Now, it's installed on my second 512gb NVMe SSD. I enjoy Bazzite Deck. Tried the Bazzite Stable(Desktop only). Didn't run many games unlike the Bazzite Deck with the Gamescope installed.

Been using Linux for around 6 years with Mint and now adding to Bazzite for games rather than Windows. So, I'm no stranger to Linux. Now, I am not an expert. Terminal is still a stranger to me. But I've used multiple distros and environmemts.

And, I have been playing Halo MCC on both Mint and my first Bazzite Deck OS install.

However, if you watch this video, the Microsoft Account Login UI is completely broken.

I know it's not the best quality video. Sorry. Not a content creator or social media person. And even though I could set up OBS. I can't get a recording of my gameplay.

Either way, I have removed my shaders. Compdata. Changed Proton versions. And messed with my resolution and image scaling both in gamescope mode(steam deck mode) and desktop mode. No change. UI looks like this every single time.

I even set up a Github account which I didn't even know was possible with Microsoft Account Logins. But it is. Yet after setting all that up. No dice. No change. Cannot get past this broken UI.

Went on a hunt for information on this throughout the web. Nobody I have seen has had this exact issue this way.

Now, wizards of Linux gaming. What the heck do I do?

Yes. Halo MCC has worked before with zero issues in signing in. Ony issue I ever had was with Proton 8.0 when it was first around on Linux Mint not launching. Yet I removed the compdata and it worked just fine.

Never had a strange issue like this before.

Was thinking of using Protontricks. But that's not my area of experience. So, I am just posting this here hoping for a good explanation or a simple answer.

And I hope when making this post that if ever an answer is brought up. That it will be a good form of info for others just like me and in the situation like me.

Thank you.

Hey there,

I'm running plenty of games through proton using Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS. Proton seems to work great for everything I throw at it, but after I finish playing a game using Proton, if I try to launch the game (or another proton-using game) it tries to start and then aborts with no error message. The only workaround is to close Steam and start the game, or restart Steam and select the game as normal. This works reliably, but is annoying. Games that run natively in Linux do not have this issue.

Ideally, there's something I can do to fix it. I've done some solid searching, and I only found 1 year+ old posts with no real solutions. Just curious how known this issue may be and if there's something known to fix it. Thanks!

So, I recently bought the Lenovo LOQ 15AHP9, with a AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU. When I bought it, I did not know it would have some AI shenanigans (my bad), and I'm now aware that those features may require a driver not merged to the Linux kernel. I'm concerned that this may be affecting my gaming experience: rendering of games looks awful and choppy compared to Windows (even with 100+ FPS), and it seems like the system can't use its full performance. Should I just wait until a newer kernel adds support? Have anyone this laptop and experience similar problems? I really want to ditch Windows (I'm currently dual booting with Pop OS), but first I want to sort this out. Any ideas?
