I am linux newbie and I have just noticed this. Is there any idea why, considering Valve involvement in linux? Is there any known plans for this? I am personally not a big fan of using not officiaL apps :(

Discord is sharing my entire system audio when streaming. Is there a way to have it just share the shared application audio?

Gnome 48 on Wayland with a Nvidia GPU if that matters.

I'm new to linux. I want to mod R.E.P.O, but can't find any linux specific tutorials. According to Protondb reports it's possible, but they don't show how.

Hi everyone,

So I made the mistake of purchasing AC Shadows via Ubisoft Connect. So far I am unable to get it running, and searching online I'm not seeing a lot of information. Has anyone else gotten it working? Or am I out of luck due to not purchasing via Steam?

when i was playing fragpunk i was having input lag issue and it was above 40ms , i have the same settings as windows and i have tried changing scheduler , turning off dlss , but nothing worked for me , i run the latest nvidia drivers on my cachy os "KDE" if anybody knows how to fix this issue FOREVER , I'm all ears

I've been playing older version of minecraft and for some reason older versions have minecraft have issues when the polling rate is too high. Is there any app to change the polling rate easily on ubuntu? I've tried methods I found online and they did not work...

Since Windows 11 activation key costs 200 bucks, i want to switch to Linux but idk which distro has the most functioning drivers and which Is the most convenient

Please help

As the title says, when I load in to a game I'm unable to move my character or use items, but the character will rotate and I can navigate the menus. I've tried a few different Proton versions and done several cycles of uninstalling and reinstalling. I'm using an 8BitDo controller.

I want to play Minecraft (1.8.9, 1.16.5 and 1.21) with the best possible frame rate and my specs are:

Processor: Intel Core i5-7200U (2C/4T, 2.5-3.1 GHz)

RAM: 8GB DDR4

Storage: 256GB SATA SSD

GPU: Intel HD Graphics 620

Display: 15.6" 1366x768

OS: GGOS WIN 10 20H2

I tried mint mate and had issues with like latency and input delay when moving my crosshair in-game.

The game is very slow with responding to the keyboard and mouse inputs. Monster Hunter is doing the exact same thing! I can press and release the key input before the game responds. ( At the same time all the other Steam games run fine. )

Kubuntu 24.10 with AMD hardware.

Still cannot find the right combination of launch commands and Proton version to fix it. Lutris did not help.

So now you can answer the age old question "Does this computer run Crysis?"

I'm trying to get the division 2 working. im playing with steam. im using these launch paramaters.

LD_PRELOAD="" VK_LOADER_LAYERS_ENABLE=VK_LAYER_MANGOHUD_overlay_x86_64 %COMMAND% gamescope --hdr-enabled --mangoapp --force-grab-cursor -w 2560 -h 1440 -f -r 240 -- %command%

my problem is i can only get the preload command to work if i put it first. im not sure if there should be two %command%. the game will launch with this setup but hdr doesnt enable.

I was thinking about Valve as a company as I was sitting on the toilet at 1 AM, and it hit me—despite being a massive corporate entity with the majority of the market share in PC digital game sales, they genuinely seem to care about improving the PC ecosystem rather than just chasing short-term profits. Compared to companies like Microsoft—who often seem more focused on their stock price and pushing tech nobody asked for—Valve’s contributions to gaming, Linux, and open-source software feel like a breath of fresh air.

Their work on *nix, Wine, and Proton has been game-changing, making Linux gaming more viable than ever. And the fact that they actively market their products on a community-driven OS instead of treating it as an afterthought is something we rarely see from a company of their size. It honestly reminds me of Google in its early years—before the corporate bloat took over.

More than that, they remind me of how companies worked in the mid-20th century—where quality and innovation mattered more than constant, unsustainable growth. In an era where SaaS dominates, privacy is constantly under attack, and tech companies seem more interested in locking users into walled gardens than actually making good products, Valve stands out. They’re not perfect by any means, but at least they’re trying to do something different. And for that, Gabe deserves a hug.

Would love to hear other thoughts—does Valve deserve more credit for what they’re doing, or am I being too generous?

I wanted to play it for so long and recently i got into linux but idk how i could emulate it or download it.

Besides my parkour game, I'm also a big fan of soulslike games. Now I want to embark on the path of creating one of my soulslike Games.

I have a weak processor and i don't want to use wine

i love games that are realistic like cs emulating very nice game mechanics and purely aim based shooting games not something fancy like ev.io or krunker.io :(
