Honestly, I see more people hating on Linux users for being obnoxious elitists than the thing they're hating on.

Few days ago tried and setup Halo SPV3 on Linux.
If you guys love Halo CE, I call this a must try Overhaul Mod.

Just one issue: While Halo SPV3 has method to detect Steam Halo MCC installation, I've never got it work in Windows or Linux. So it will be good to be prepared with a Halo CE CD Key to setup Halo Custom Edition.

Any ideas and or help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks to all for tips and recomendations I have found from this Sub.

Did final test on my test computer and I am impressed. I settled with CachyOS and and love it.
Steam games run out of the box. Heroic launcher for everything else.

My test computer is more of an potato than my actual gaming computer but some games ran way better on Linux than on windows 11.
Test computer:
Amd R5 5600
32GB ddr 4 ram
Sata ssd 500GB
GTX 1060 6GB

Only tested Elite dangerous stand alone version. Valheim from Steam and Satisfactory from Epic. All worked like charm. Zero issues, no tinkering. Just install and play.
Valheim and elite ran even better than in windows 11.

Can't even express how happy I am to get rid of Windows. Gaming has been the major block for me. Not anymore! Thank you!

Hi! I recently switched from windows to Linux. I am using Kubuntu and I haven't changed anything from base settings. I downloaded steam then battle.net then WoW from it and I encountered this problem that I honestly don't know how to describe it well.

Sometimes when I press shift+2 this small console like thing appears. It does not happen with any other games I have (so far I tried with Nier:Automata and P3Reload). I tried to look if it was bound to any shortcut but it does not seem like it. I also tried the only thing I've found online which is to put "SET console "0" " on WoW config file but nothing changed.

Has anyone any idea on what it could be?

Hallo, ich bin ein Neuling unter Linux.

Ich nutze Nobara und habe unter Faugus Ubisoft instaliert.

Nun ist das Problem das ich Anno 117 nicht instalieren kann, da Ubisoft mir sagt ich hätte nur 6702MB freien Speicherplatz frei (egal welche Festplatte ich auswähle) . Unter Steam habe ich diverse Spiele instalieren können, ohne Probleme.

Ich habe 3 Festplatten die jeweils 652,2 GB/ 833,2 GB/ 1.7 TB freien Speicherplatz haben.

Die "kleineren" sind NVMe und die große ist eine SSD, alle in ext4 Formartiert und haben Freigaben zum Anzeigen und Ändern des Inhalts für Eigentümer/Gruppe und Sonstige.

Kann mir jemand helfen?

Hello, I am new to Linux.

I use Nobara and have installed Ubisoft under Faugus.

The problem is that I cannot install Anno 117 because Ubisoft tells me that I only have 6702MB of free storage space (regardless of which hard drive I select). I have been able to install various games on Steam without any problems.

I have 3 hard drives, each with 652.2 GB/833.2 GB/1.7 TB of free space.

The “smaller” ones are NVMe and the large one is an SSD, all formatted in ext4 and have permissions to view and modify the content for owner/group and others.

Can anyone help me?

So some background, I’m 36 years old, I messed around with Linux in my teens, but as I got older I got annoyed with all the tinkering and ended up sticking to windows.

However I recently been seeing on blue sky that there have been some huge strides in Linux and now we can play windows games on Linux? How do we do it? When I look on steam most my games like kingdom come and oblivion remaster are showing windows only.

I plan to buy an amd gpu and cpu and install steamos. Is that all I need to play all my games in Linux? I saw a post saying 99% of games can be played in Linux now. How do we do it?

Hi all!

I don't personally use the Steam Flatpak, and I'm aware it had some issues at one time as even the Bazzite team had to revert to a native package in their distro.

But I'm also aware a lot of people use it, so I'm curious... What's the current state of the Steam Flatpak?

What's are it's benefits and cons?

Not planning to switch or anything, but I'm always curious about these things.

So I want to save higher quality screenshots on HDD. But steam is only showing root direction for me. I got CachyOS installed, I am new to this stuff. Write/Read is enabled on said HDD drive.

Ok so I installed bazzite and guess i installed the normal nvidia drivers but my games run less than ideal. I think its because im using my 1080ti. Do i need to reinstall with the normal nvidia iso or will it update with the correct drivers? Do i need to do something else to enable the 1080ti?

I just set up a dual boot of NobaraOS and Windows 11, with Noabara being my daily driver. However, there are some games that I want to play in both linux and windows. I want to only install the game once and be able to run it on both OS's. The problem i've been running into is with the filesystems. NTFS drives/partitions break proton compatibility, as I was not able to run the games in linux if they were installed in a NTFS partition.

Is there a way to do this without installing the game twice? I mean, its fine to do that i guess but kinda a waste of space

Im trying to set up remote play between a windows 11 host with an AMD 9070XT, and a linux client with an nvidia RTX3070. Both are wired to a LAN.

On the client box, for what its worth, I've tried Ubuntu 24.04, 25.04, and 25.10, and am now trying out Fedora 43.

The only way I can get streaming to work is if I turn off hardware decoding in the client. This always works despite my changing the OS or OS version. Otherwise, using hardware decoding on the client yields a black screen (i can see the windows cursor and hear audio, though).

I've played around with all of the host and client advanced settings on both boxes to try to get hardware encoding and decoding working properly, toggling the settings on and off to test.

Both boxes have the most recent drivers for their respective cards (25.11 for the host, 580 for the client).

I feel like I should be able to do hardware encode/decode as both cards support things like HEVC and are very new or just 2 gens behind.

For example, when attempting to stream Ghosts of Tsushima usijg hardware decoding and with the "show details" overlay, I can see that the host is using direct3d11 and AMD, and the client is using VAAPI DRM hardware decoding. I still get the same black screen w/ cursor+audio experience.

Am I fighting a losing battle here? Im not super well versed in how this all works but despite that, im trying to maximize the hardware I have, and it all seems so capable. I want to ensure that things like HDR on the client are working as well as they possibly can while displaying streaming content, and im presuming that getting hardware decode working will help there. Is software decode on the client something I shouldn't be so resistant to? Maybe trying to get AMD and Nvidia to do the encode/decode dance, to say nothing of windows and linux, is too much to ask?

Any tips or experience here from those in similar situations would be great to know.

Does this happen to anyone else? After launching the Steam client will restart randomly in the background for whatever reason. On the latest Fedora

I'm trying to mod skyrim, and a mod requests I have the latest Visual Studio Redistributable installed.

As it's made for Windows, I have zero idea on how I would go about getting it installed into a usable state.

Any help is appreciated, I have no idea what I'm doing!

It's a long shot, but here it goes. After the steam update yesterday, I can no longer run Path of Exile. If I try, I just get the error CreateDXGIFactory1: Call Failed. I tried reinstalling the game, didn't help. None of the Proton versions will allow the game to run, though I didn't use any of them beforehand. I have been playing this game for months with no problems until now.
