So I've recently decided to install Linux on a second drive and dual boot, I can't stand Windows and Linux is perfect for everything else I want to do. I decided to dual boot because my main game has a kernel level anticheat, otherwise I'd just switch to Linux. I decide to test the gaming on each system with Monster Hunter World, it looks like the performance on Windows is infinitely better and my 8 Bit Do Pro 2 controller doesn't even work on Linux. Performance wise, on YouTube in seeing most people actually get better performance, have I missed something? I've installed natively using Proton 9.0, could it just be as simple as using a different proton version? Also when I'm Steams big picture mode, it's very laggy on Linux.

I'm having a problem with certain games like Elder Scroll Online and The Lord of the Rings Online.

The camera is uncontrollable and goes straight up or down and rotates super fast.

No problems in game menus

With Wine-ge 8.12 and lower the problem seems not to occur, only with 8.13 and higher.

Any idea what changed between these two versions?

I tried with gamescope and many other manipulations without success

I use wayland (wlroots and labwc) if that helps find the cause.

So information about installing Reshade on linux proton games is really messy and spread out across a lot of different posts, and have a lack of information or say they fixed the problem without giving their solutions, or some say that if you install reshade in these 3 other ways it will perform worse than this other way. There are not any full on straightforward guides on installing Reshade, so I just wanted to ask how you guys install it?

Please do not recommend VKBasalt.

Hey all, I'm thinking about purchasing a VR headset for playing VR games on Linux. I don't want to spend too much money so something like a Valve Index isn't really viable (maybe around $200 or $400?). I wanted to ask what the current state of VR Linux gaming is and what hardware I should consider purchasing. I looked into Oculus headsets but I read that they weren't really the play due to the need for additional software. I'm new to the VR world so any and all help is appeciated. As a side note, if there's not really a good option I could always boot into my Windows install I keep for the small amount of unsupported games, but this is kind of a last resort. Thanks in advance :)

I'm having a strange problem. Other games stream to my Deck without much issue, but Skyrim has a particular issue: the audio comes through loud and clear, but the image never finishes loading. I see the loading icon at the bottom right but it never finishes.

Also, the glyphs on my PC correctly change to controller instead of keyboard when I start the stream. It seems like the stream is starting but never really finishing.

Does anyone have experience with this particular setup?

Gonna throw this out here to see if anyone can help me research this. I've spent a lot of hours already trying to find anything online. I'm on Arch with an AMD CPU/GPU setup. The only game that gives me issues is World of Warcraft through Lutris. It runs perfectly but at random times the game will hang for about 30 seconds. Everything else on the PC works fine, but World of Warcraft just stops responding, and then starts working normally again. It's causing me to die or my group to wipe when it happens (i'm the healer). I don't remember it happening on POP OS, and it doesn't happen on my Steam Deck. I am at a loss on this one and am about to just install another distro. Any help with this would be amazing.

As the title says, right now there is currently one game working but I am not sure how to proceed, all the games I have tried to run were able to run previously either on windows or a different distro.

Some unity developed games show me a window with the logo of the game and a red exclamation mark, for example bomb rush cyberfunk

Some games are shown as running but they never open, just to make sure I left one of these games "running" until I came back from work to make sure and it was still marked as running but no window of the game or any sign that the game is being loaded

Games like hades, or lethal company that I was able to run previously on windows show that the computer does not have the requirements to run the game.

I am not sure honestly how to proceed, any ideas what might be going on?

I don't have the computer at hand right now so I cannot provide the specs right now but I will later once I come bsck

I have an issue now after Flatpak updated to Mesa 24.1.1 where Minecraft will crash on launch (it will freeze at the end of the Mojang screen then crash) if I am using a shader mod like Iris or Oculus.

Can anyone else confirm if they're having this issue as well? (I've observed it on my PC and Steam Deck) I also filed a bug report on Mesa about this.

In the meantime, is there a way to revert Mesa versions for Flathub Prism Launcher?

long story short, I have a headless server and a spare gpu sitting around, so ive been trying to get a windows vm running so I can have it stream vr games to my quest 3(via steam). I have win11 in a vm running, but ive hit a roadblock trying to get the gpu passed through to it.

host system:

• OS: Debian Trixie
• Kernel: 6.7.12-amd64
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X. 8 cores; 16 threads
• Ram: 128 GB
• GPU0: NVIDIA RTX A2000 12GB
• GPU1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (target gpu for the vm)
• NVIDIA Driver: 535.161.08

win11 vm via virt-manager:

• CPU: 1 socket; 2 cores; 4 threads
• Ram: 32gb
• Passed through PCI devices:
  • device: 0000:23:00:0 NVIDIA Corporation TU106 [GeForce RTX 2070 Rev. A]
  • device: 0000:23:00:1 NVIDIA Corporation TU106 High Definition Audio Controller
  • device: 0000:23:00:2 NVIDIA Corporation TU106 USB 3.1 Host Controller
  • device: 0000:23:00:3 NVIDIA Corporation TU106 USB Type-C UCSI Controller

My aim is to get the RTX 2070 passed through into the vm, so I passed through every PCI device that I saw was associated with it. But when I run the VM it seems to break libvirtd and/or qemu where commands like sudo virsh dumpxml win11 will hang.

I attempted to follow this guide to troubleshoot, and I setup similar libvert hooks using the helper thing for my system, but that doesnt change anything. Its also worth mentioning that I am using Xvfb, fluxbox, and x11vnc to use virt-manager on the system as I havnt found a decent web based gui to manage kvm.

In journalctl I only see this error:

Jun 16 17:46:21 debian-desktop libvirtd[13779]: End of file while reading data: Input/output error

and in dmesg I see this:

[ 1057.882856] NVRM: Attempting to remove device 0000:23:00.0 with non-zero usage count!

So im lead to believe that the GPU is in use somewhere, but im not sure where to look to see nor do I know how to prevent anything from attaching it in the first place. anyone have any ideas or suggestions? im a bit stuck. Thanks

Hi,

I am on Debian testing and managed to install gtav via the heroic launcher but now I face this problem:

When I try to start the game the rockstar launcher starts and wants me to log in but I cannot enter any text in the textboxes - any keypresses are simply ignored.

I had the exact same problem about 2 weeks ago with my old Debian installation and I played around with various settings until it finally worked, but this time I seem to be out of luck....

Does anybody have an idea?

Hey all,

So as the title says, at the moment I'm kind of just looking for a gaming distro that does the most if not all the setup for me so that I can just play. I find that I really like tinkering about with my linux distro and I'm constantly breaking things and learning to fix them. That being said, I'd rather my games didn't reside in the same distro that I'm bound to break at some point. Sometimes I want to play games and figure out whatever broke my system later but of course I can't do that if my games are on the same distro.

I'm well aware that gaming distros don't provide any gaming advantage if at all. I'm mainly looking to have all that initial setup and installation taken care for me so I don't have to worry about anything other than probably installing steam. Hardare to note is probably my CPU which is a Ryzen 9 5900x and GPU which is a Radeon RX 6800. I use a 3440x1440 ultrawide OLED

Any and all recommendations are much appreciated! I'm currently checking out Bazzite, I saw that it was immutable and thought that would likely be a good thing to keep things from going wrong too often

Hello,

I am experiencing regular crashing in BG3 when using Gamescope. I am running EndeavourOS in a VM and have tried with Nvidia and AMD GPUs with the same thing happening to both. Gamescope will run for about 30 minutes and then close with no errors. I run Gamescope using Steam commands to launch the game. It's also worth noting that it happens with and without HDR enabled. The exact same method and commands work well with The Last of Us.

Anyone else having these issues?

I have Steam, emulator, and a bunch of video games. However, I sometimes need a casual and chill game to play to kill a few minutes of time:

I'm seeking for open source board/card games or some kind of low-energy games I can play on Linux.

I'll share my small list of recommendations in the comments as well.

I have been trying to connect an NSO SNES Switch controller to my PC but I have been having some issues. My Bluetooth device does recognize it as an SNES controller but the lights on the controller never go to the connected look. Furthermore, none of my steam games recognize the controller. Can anyone help me out here?
