I don't really like gaming distros because there are a tons of things that I don't neccesarily need. I'm still a beginner Linux user but I'm confident enough that with the help of wikis and asking questions I am able to built up from the ground my own gaming Linux. Which Linux do you recommend?

Since Preview 1.21.120.21 MC Bedrock on Windows 10 has switched to the GDK (Win32) platform from UWP. This goes along with other modern games being developed with GDK as M$ is slowly moving from UWP in general.

Posting this here because GDK, unlike UWP, is possible to run under Wine/Proton as far as I understand. GDK uses a lot of new shiny things (GameInput for example), but Proton already has stubs for this.

After some hacking and dumping game exe (it's encrypted by default and decrypted/secured by the Windows kernel on-the-fly) I managed to run it under Proton, however, MS Store is not present and this causes an early crash:

Hello,

since the latest Version of Windows 11 completely ruined my System and failed to install itself (now my SSD is taking minutes to boot instead of seconds and my other HDD isn`t recognized anymore) i finally had enough and after 30 Years of Windows using i want to switch to Linux. My Problem is i know 0 about it and i am pretty much an IT Analphabet. i use my pc for open office, you tube, internet browsing, and for gaming with steam mostly.

What Version of Linux would you recommend to me for that kind of usage and if i try to install it myself? (or would you rather send me to an it professional for starters straight up ?) and can i still play Steam Games on it or do i need to install a virtual machine with windows for this ?

here my specs: intel i7 10700 CPU 2,90gHZ, Bios Modus:UEFO, Board: AS Rock Z490 Extreme, 32 GB Ram, 1GB SSD, 1GB HDD, RTX 3080.

Hi everybody!

I'm stuck trying to get Sonic X Shadow Generations to run on my Ubuntu system (Steam, Proton). I'm currently stuck on this dilemma:

If I try to start it with the default proton, without any Launch options, I get a black screen that won't go away, and after a while linux kindly asks if it should end it. I tried leaving it open for a long time, but it didn't change.

Now if I force proton 10.0-2 beta and give it the launch options "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%" the game actually starts! But only the sonic generations portion of the game works, when I try to start the first shadow level, my screen shows only the particle effects and a general hue. It looks like very heavy fog with bright colored lights. Actually unplayable, I can't even see shadow, or what he's standing on.

I tried changing many different in-game options for the graphics, and tried some proton launch options, but it either does the fog thing or doesn't start at all.

Help, ideas, suggestions very welcome!

Thanks!

Tl;dr: If you use a windows vm for gaming, make sure to manually set the cpu topology so that all your vCPUs are cores instead of sockets. Otherwise windows will only use 2 cores.

I use a windows vm for vr gaming because all the linux solutions are still too janky for me and Virtual Desktop is magic. It's worked pretty well but I've had some mildly disappointing performance which I figured was just the cost of the VM overhead.

Anyways, I just noticed in task manager that windows was reporting almost 60% cpu usage while idle, and when I looked closer it said I had 2 cpu sockets. I was confused for a bit, but then I tried changing the cpu topology in virt-manager and suddenly windows could see all 12 cores I had assigned it.

It turns out that virt-manager defaults to exposing each core as a separate socket, and the consumer versions of windows are limited to only using 2 cpu sockets. Now Half-Life: Alyx runs flawlessly.

I hope this helps at least 1 other person.

I think I have things set up and the games I've tried seem to work. What are some things I should know about gaming on linux in 2025?

I am at my wits end trying to fix this issue, and I haven't seen anyone else with this same issue I have. It's hard to describe but it's like, the fps is good, however the display seems like it's almost losing track of where stuff is in vr so it flickers all over the place and tries to re-center it, but the tracking seems fine for the controllers and full body, and it only flickers everywhere when it's a little bit laggy or maybe certain shaders? It flicks everywhere on any game, it does it on the vr home screen, vrchat, half life, every single game.

I'm using CatchyOS, everything is up to date, Ryzen 7 3700X cpu, RX 7800 XT gpu, 16gb ram, I've tried using CoreCtrl and following guides and reinstalling everything, but nothing works. I did have some lag issues when I was on windows but nothing near this bad, I just recently switch to Catchy maybe a month ago so I'm a bit new to linux.

Hi everyone. I'm using a generic no brand controller that was working fine on Windows. On both Nobara and Fedora, the controller is recognised by the system, but doesn't function fully. Half the keys aren't recognized by the game and the in game protagonist is defaulted to looking upwards, while in motion. I've updated my system and it's drivers, and installed packages mentioned on Linux forums to no avail. Please help me figure this out! Thank you.

i have every driver installed (470.256.02) and when launching a game it says "ld.so: object 'gameoverlayrenderer.so' cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class)" or something like that, also i already tested if the drivers are working and they are. Don't get mad if i don't understand something, i'm new to linux and still learning.

I'm trying to play some games via proton, and none of them can see the wasd or any other letter input(ctrl, shift, space works fine) exept CS2 which works fine. Days gone doesn't react to any letters, when i tried remapping controls ingame it just didn't see anything, when i tried remapping them in minecraft it started working but settings were remapped to some BS like "F22" or "scancode:j1nd9crblablabla". I use US layout, and it doesn't affect anything. System itself doesn't have any issue with keyboard, everything is mapped correctly etc.

Here are fixes that i tried and they didn't work:
-Trying any layout incl. en-US
-Manually remapping key inputs
-Troubleshooting outside game: input register in terminal sees all presses and releases correctly, remapper also didn't see any issue or "F22"
-Different protons like GE, 9, Hotfix, Experimental, linux runtime, wine, anything
-Changing/disabling/increasing key repeat rate and similar
-Enabling/disabling Steaminput
- Inserting commands to use another session, another input, basically everything chatGPT offered me

And the biggest mystery is why CS2 works and literally nothing else...
