Recently switched to Linux, using an immutable distro and everything is flatpaks (Steam and Heroic both).

This does mean that I can't launch non-Steam games from Steam (without, I presume, reducing the sandbox security on one or more Flatpaks).

Some games work fine with the controller. Eg. Satisfactory. Some do not, and only recognise the trackpad as a mouse device. Games that don't work include Salt And Sanctuary, Relicta, etc.

I'm pretty new to the terminology, e.g. libraries, runtimes, etc. So don't ask me what umu is :p

Some fixes I have read from other threads but I'm never sure which is the "best" method, when considering years-old advice, things can change very quickly. The most reliable fix suggested is "add to Steam" but that doesn't look like a starter in a Flatpak-exclusive world. Steam itself doesn't seem to be able to run 'flatpak run' for starters!

Looking for step-by-step suggestions, baring in mind my lack of Linux competence, but I'm more than happy with a terminal or a text editor. In a former life I was a Windows IT tech... (hey, not saying I was a *good* one!)

Hey everyone!

I switched from Windows 11 to Linux Mint in summer and it has beed great for everything except gaming!

The only two games i still (want to) play are Anno 1800 and now the new Anno 117 (bought it today). I have been away from home for a few months and last time i booted my pc, i remember Anno 1800 working fine, but having to wait for it to start.

I just finished downloading Anno 117 earliyer today and have been trying everything to get it starting. Anno 1800 is still playable, but i have to wait a lot longer for it to start and even once the Ubisoft Connect thing starts i need to start the game through there which takes forever and i get a black window with "Steam_game_xxxxxx is not responding" until it eventually starts after a while.

However, i cant get Anno 117 to start in any way. Changed Proton, forced different proton versions, entered the same starting options that i use in Anno 1800, but nothing happens. Only once did the Ubisoft launcher start, but waiting did nothing and i couldnt start the game through the launcher, since it is not in my Ubisoft library there.

Can anyone help me? The Demo version of Anno 117 a few months back did work just as well as 1800, but i cant get the full game to start in any way!

Hi guys I want to make the switch,

I just have some bad feeling about an embroidery software that I use times to times and Illustrator (that no matter how I try, Inkscape has a really bad UI). But maybe for this I can use winboat.
And the lack of equalizer (I use equlizer APO on win).

I think the time has come, but: do I have to format my ntfs nvme drive where I've installed all my games?
Or I have to download them again after format the drive on ext4 or whatever?

Thank you

I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750M. I tried booting from the normal NVIDIA drivers ISO on their page but I get this error on a terminal before I can even get to the live boot session to install.

"it says the nvidia gpu 0000:01:00.0 (PCI ID: 10de:0fe9) installed in this system is not supported by open system processor (GSP). Please see the 'open linux kernel modules' and 'GSP firmware' sections in the driver README, availiable on www.nvidia.com. nvidia 0000:01:00.0: probe failed with driver nvidia failed with error -1"

ChatGPT is not being helpful so I thought I would ask real human beings that are much smarter in troubleshooting. Any help is appreciated even different OS reccommendations.

I have 16GB RAM, and 4 core CPU with 8 locical processors (intel)

Thank you in advance!

Hello, Im new to the Linux ecosystem and am in the process of learning Fedora/Nobara. I swapped from Windows and used Aida64 for a sensor panel to monitor my temps, utilization, etc. and enjoyed that data being displayed with cool designs.

Are there any programs that I can use on Linux that would allow me to read that data and display it on a usb LCD?

New to linux gaming, running Arch. I tried booting sea of thieves from steam but when logging in, after entering my email address, it loads infinitely on this window:

Online, all the info I could find was "last update broke it but it was resolved on the last proton patch". Not really helpful.

How does this work? Can I even play the game? Thanks!

i am having a problem with vesktop as while joining any voice channel it shows DLTC connection and takes forever. i am on arch and hyprland .when i use vesktop it does not connect voice and when i use normal discord voice connects but screen share does not work

Hi. In February I bought SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5. I mostly used Windows at the time, Linux was my secondary OS. A few months I switched to Linux and I have been having one major issue with these headphones. After some time of use, they start to disconnect and reconnect every 20 seconds. I think it is because USB controller switches dongle HD-Audio to hid-generic. I am adding my journalctl -kf logs here: https://pastebin.com/8Dz1TDUa

Does anyone know how to fix this? It is really annoying to hear crackling audio every 20 seconds.

I've been wanting to get back into Fallout New Vegas but no proton versions newer than Proton 4.11-13 seem to work. They all open the launcher but it will crash and close instantly.

Im running on a fresh install of the game using Arch linux.

Hello

I have a Pico 4 I used back when I was using windows. I used Virtual Desktop for streaming from the PC to the headset. Is there an alternative for doing the same thing on Linux? I'm running Arch with Hyprland.

I have tried Linux multiple times and had to switch back to windows after some time. I am feeling optimistic about giving it a new try, now that i don't need my pc for school or work anymore. All my games should be supported so there is only one thing im unsure of, and that is screen sharing on discord. Last time i tried it had no audio, no GPU encoding and didn't work on Wayland. I understand it so audio and Wayland support should be fixed, but im unsure if that is actually the case. I have a nvidia card and im planing on going for bazzite.

Hello,
