The original Splitgate has been released in 2019 and supported Linux natively since 2021.

The game used to support cross-play between Linux, Windows, PlayStation and Xbox. Due to difficulties caused by releasing the sequel in a poor state, the dev initially decided to shut the servers of the original game, then announced switching to P2P to keep the game alive.

However, it turned out that even though the 29th Aug 2025 update is set to keep the game with P2P support and even the cross-play with consoles remain functional, the native Linux client removed entirely without notice.

As expected, many suggest using the Proton, but considering that I purchased the packs of the game solely due to its native Linux support, I feel saddened. Sigh...

Estoy intentando jugar minecraft bedrock en ubuntu, pero no encuentro un apk compatible. Dónde puedo encontrar una actualizada a la última versión y de arquitectura x86_64??

I'm getting conflicting reports and wanna know what's the deal!

Basically, I'm on Linux Mint and want to play with a friend that's on Windows. When they send an invite I don't see it and I can't open the "game bar" because Winkey+G doesn't work, for some reason.

I looked online and people are either saying "doesn't work on Linux" or "yeah, I got it working," but nothing specific or helpful. Some people can't even open it, while others can enter a match, so long as their friend invites them first.

I'm on the latest Linux Mint and can open Sea of Thieves without even needing Proton. My only issue is I never see an invite when it's sent and when I hit Winkey+G nothing happens.

So what's up? Anybody had a better experience? I know Sea of Thieves is Microsoft, so they probably don't care that Linux users can't play their games, but I'd like to know if there's a work around or maybe I'm missing something.

System Specs:

• OS: Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon ver. 6.4.8 X11

I’m planning to run a server for ark ascended, have for other games on Linux before but not a steamCMD one. Can I use Linux fine is there anything else I need to do? I’ve seen conflicting information on whether or not everything runs natively on Linux. Important Specs are i5-9600k and 32 gb of 2800 mhz ddr4 Any information would be great even just from people who have done it before. I’m also considering using windows server

I sent a ticket to roblox to try and add roblox to Linux without needing to use unstable methods like Sober / wine etc. You guys should definitely do the same.

Hello, I recently started to play the game on my laptop in witch I run bazzite yet it seems to have a strange bug.

Sometimes when i enter a new area I am greeted with, what I guess, a random png instead. If I manage to get out of that room it got back to normal but most of the time i had to exit the game.

If I remember correctly one time I got just a black screen and I couldn't access the option using ESC so I had to force close the game.

The game is directly from steam and from what I remember it had a high score of comparability

Has anyone else encountered something similar while playing ?

Hello all. I posted here a few months ago for a similar (or possibly the same) issue, and I've since made some progress, but I'm still a little perplexed on if there's any way to fix it. I play most games I own on steam, and a lot of them work fine, but a significant number of them have some mix of seemingly random freezing, crashing upon alt+tab, and massive slowdowns to around 5-10 fps. These games (particularly games developed by Paradox), many of which I played heavily before I switched to Linux, never really had any issues on Windows other than the occasional stutter. Wherever possible, I've tried both the proton and native versions of games, but I haven't noticed any differences other than a slight change in fps.

My specs are as follows:
Distro - Pop_OS! (although I had this issue with mint as well)
Memory - 32 GB RAM
Processor - Intel® Core™ i5-9300H CPU @ 2.40GHz × 8
Graphics - NVIDIA Corporation TU117M / Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 630 (CFL GT2)

Are there any more specs that I missed? Is there somewhere else perhaps better suited to my particular issue? Any help is appreciated!

Just built a new pc with an 9060 xt. First installed mint and ran into issues, later found out it is because the kernel and mesa are not new enough for support dor my gpu. I’m new to linux and dont know which distro to use. Tried ubuntu 25.04 but still ran into many problems. Please let me know which distro I should try or if I should just use windows until Mint supports my GPU fully.

I know that this is a known issue and there have been many options in how to fix it with starting options and creating a new asoundrc file in home directory but none of them worked for me.

Are there any other solutions for this? I only have this problem with CS2. Other games work fine and have no audio issues

If I want to fix it temporarily I need to change the output device in CS settings (which is also known as a temporary fix)

I use nobara fresh new install Pulseaudio Gnome DE Analog stereo Logitech g pro x wireless

If I need to provide more information tell me which.

Thank you in advance

The issue is just what the title says

Basically I'm on my steamdeck I'm trying to install the EldenRing item and enemy randomizer I can open it but I can't select the game exe because wine simply isn't showing any of the files

I have show dot files enabled in the wine cfg

Everything is there on dolphins end

But I can't copy a file location into the randomizer or wine and just have it work it's like it's working off of a completely different directory where only some of the files from dolphin also exist in wine

If I could figure this out I'm sure I could figure out the rest of the issues with getting the randomizer to work on my steamdeck but obviously first step would probably be for it to recognize the EldenRing exe to begin with

Edit: I feel like I should state that when I have dot files enabled it shows some new files a lot actually but none of the ones that would bring me to my steam games so I can select the exe I need

Hi everyone, I'm excited to share that volt-gui has its 1.2.0 release. For those unfamiliar, volt-gui is a straightforward GUI tool for creating and modifying the "volt" script, along with other performance related tweaks. Its main goal is to make it as easy as possible to fine tune a Linux PC for gaming or general performance improvements.

This release brings support for changing minimum and maximum CPU frequency within safe values determined by your processor. I also improved the default settings to follow an opt-in approach rather than opt-out, which should provide better compatibility across different desktop environments, especially for GNOME.

I've added numerous new kernel options covering memory management, process scheduling, networking, and file systems. The kernel settings interface has been reorganized grouping related settings together, and I've updated the recommended values and descriptions based on the latest documentation.

Several UI improvements are included, such as fixing the CPU apply button size, removing redundant text, fixing an error that caused duplicate systray icons, and improving tooltips throughout the application.

The Welcome Window now includes more information about kernel settings to help new users understand what they're adjusting.

As always, if you encounter any issues with recommended values or descriptions, or if you'd like to see additional options added, please let me know. I'm open to suggestions as volt-gui continues to evolve.

So in resume you can:

Change CPU and disk schedulers, adjust CPU minimum and maximum frequency within safe hardware limits, and control pluggable CPU schedulers (scx_*). For GPU configuration, it provides access to numerous environment variables sourced from Mesa, NVIDIA, and Freedesktop documentation, plus renderer selection for OpenGL and Vulkan through intuitive switches that automatically handle environment variable setup. You can also configure a ton of kernel parameters and add generic launch options.

Settings are divided into two categories:

Realtime settings (CPU, Disk, Kernel) that reset after reboot, and script-related settings (GPU options, launch parameters) that require adding volt to your launch commands.

Optional dependencies exist for specific features:

scx-scheds for pluggable schedulers

MangoHUD for render pipeline settings (Both the Flatpak and the Native version work)

glxinfo for OpenGL renderer selection

vulkaninfo plus the Vulkan Mesa layer for Vulkan renderer selection.

Missing dependencies simply lock related options without affecting other functionality. The Welcome Window provides more comprehensive information and helps verify the mesa vulkan layer installation.

So I get that Bazzite is a great alternative to SteamOS on a gaming handheld or a console PC or whatever if you only want to game.
I'm using a desktop PC with an NVIDIA 4060.
Bazzite was actually my first "serious" experience with Linux, and it went really well the first couple of months, until I got my hands on an old laptop and felt confident enough to try Arch + Hyprland (not because of PewDiePie).
And it felt so much better than using Bazzite. I'm not gonna lie, but whatever you gain from a beginner-friendly OS with a bunch of stuff preinstalled is not worth the hassle of an atomic OS.
Basically, I'm considering distro hopping to something else. CachyOS...why not? I'm not going for Hyprland. I just want something where setting up NVIDIA drivers and Proton is relatively easy. I want to be able to customize, do cool stuff, etc., but when it comes to gaming, I want as little setup as possible -kind of like Bazzite, with the benefits of Arch Linux.
Is this what CachyOS is about?
Should I just go for Arch with KDE? The only time I used Arch, I used the Archinstall script, so I'm still not exactly sure what I'm doing. Still a Linux newbie, basically.

Recently updated the WiVRn guide hosted on GitHub in markdown to help both new and experienced linux users get a great wireless VR setup running.

The guide is centered around wireless Quest headsets, because that is what I have personally tested with, but any headset that WiVRn supports should work well.

I have fully tested CachyOS, Bazzite, and PikaOS. Guide is fully featured with detailed instructions including photos to help with the setup.

The full guide is hosted here: https://github.com/chaosmaou/wivrn-guide

Please give feedback! I try to keep the guide updated and formatted well. Feel free to report any issues with the guide or formatting on GitHub and I will keep the guide updated accordingly!

I want to play Wuthering Waves on Linux using Proton, but I’m worried about the anti-cheat system. Is there any risk of getting banned just for using Proton?

I have been trying to play games through Xenia Canary using ProtonGE 10-15 and Heroic Games Launcher, but for some reason I get weirdly low CPU/GPU usage and a low/unstable frame rate. I have mainly been testing Saints Row and I actually got the game running at a solid 50-60FPS for a session, but I went to do something and it suddenly went back to running at sub 30 FPS. Oddly enough, when I put on ugly mode, a setting that removes all shading and would make the game run much better on Windows, there is no change in performance. I also get 60-70 fps for a few seconds when loading into the game before it falls back down, like a phantom FPS cap.

I am using patches and a title update, but I have a feeling this is more to do with Linux than Xenia itself. I feel like the application isn't exactly given priority or something like that. If anyone has any experience or ideas, please let me know.

FWIW: I get F8000230 xeRtlNtStatusToDosError 103 => 3E5 in the console constantly when I am running the game.

For some reason, my Metal Gear isn’t working on Linux. I was playing it just fine on Windows, but decided to switch to Linux since I was only using Windows for gaming anyway. I installed Nobara because I’m familiar with DNF, and I also installed vcrun2022. However, when I try to launch the game through Heroic Launcher, it says it needs the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime—even though I’ve already installed it. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

I am usign Heroic Launcher 2.18.1(flatpak), with the latest wine and proton,
