can some one help me to join the minecraft linux server on discord? im trying to play bedrock on my macbook via the linux launcher, but i cant pass the v1.21.114

I'm extremely new to Linux and had some confusion with all of the different elements at play while getting this game to work. Figured I'd at least document my findings so new, eager windows deserters can have some fun sim racing too! This guide is aimed at Bazzite specific installers. There are already guides out there for CachyOS and others like this one which helped me out a lot!

1 Install Le Mans Ultimate via steam as normal.

2 Custom proton install with LMU fixes
2.1 Download GE-Proton10-34-LMU-hid_fixes tar.gz folder
https://github.com/JacKeTUs/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton10-34-LMU-hid_fixes

2.2 Extract the tar.gz folder from /home/YOURUSERNAME/Downloads/ to
var/home/YOURUSERNAME/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/

2.3 Restart Steam

2.4 Open Steam, right click on Le Mans Ultimate > Properties > Compatibility > Check "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool"
Select the newly added "GE-Proton10-34-LMU-hid_fixes" in the dropdown

3 Socat script to fix IPv4 vs IPv6 issue with 1.3x LMU game version
3.1 Create wrapper script (paste this in konsole)
nano ~/.local/bin/lmu-socat-launcher.sh

3.2 Paste this into your konsole window (now nano window because its like a plain text editor, Thanks to Qwen 3.6 model for the script)

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Start IPv4 -> IPv6 bridge in background
socat TCP4-LISTEN:6397,fork TCP6:[::1]:6397 &
SOCAT_PID=$!

# Launch the game (Steam passes the full command via $@)
"$@"

# Clean up socat automatically when the game exits
kill $SOCAT_PID 2>/dev/null
wait $SOCAT_PID 2>/dev/null

3.3 Press CTRL+X to exit > Press Y to save modified buffer > Press Enter to write to file: /home/YOURUSERNAME/.local/bin/lmu-socat-launcher.sh

3.4 Make this script executable (paste this into a fresh konsole window)
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/lmu-socat-launcher.sh

3.5 Configure Steam launch options to now utilize this script when launching Le Mans Ultimate. Open Steam > right click Le Mans Ultimate > Properties > General > paste this in the launch options section

bash ~/.local/bin/lmu-socat-launcher.sh %command%

4 Close the steam pop out window, launch and enjoy the game!

I noticed with some games in particular after I wake my PC from sleep and launch a game, if it is a game where I control the camera with my mouse, sometimes the game will act like I am going over the edges of my screen. It is odd and inconsistent.

For example: I cannot turn a full 360 degree circle, instead it stops at like 180 or so (I can face backwards) then won't let me continue to turn, instead I have to turn all the way around the other way and the same thing happens. While playing a game, the camera will also randomly change where it wants the borders to be. There's been times where I'm stuck with my camera looking halfway toward the sky and it won't let me look any further down.

I run Fedora COSMIC spin
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
Radeon 7900XT

I have steam installed natively.

Launching games with

doesn't seem to make a difference.

The issue goes away if I restart my computer, but appears to return if I launch the game after waking the PC from sleep.

Yo guys ive been using linux for a year now, im runnin an intel i5 11th gen pc with my poor 8gigs of ram, i tried playing lowend games, MAHUR stopped supporting linux and i have no game to play, i tried R6 and ubisoft gave me a tight slap, FINALS had a minimum req of 12 gigs. Somebody help me, any recommendations!???

Linux is the way to go for RX 480, RX 570 and RX 580 gaming

So, I am entirely new to Linux. The distro I'm using is Ubuntu, and I installed Sober. In the menu it works fine, no lag, no input delay, it's golden. However, when I opened a game that my computer typically struggles with (on windows 10) it performed worse. I had a noticeable input delay, the audio sounded similar to an 8 bit game, and it was quite laggy.

My computer has 8 gigs of ram (I think ddr4 laptop stuff) and intergraded amd graphics. The BIOS is a simple or non complex one? So, xmp isnt a option.

Let me emphasize this again, I know nothing about Linux or Ubuntu. I literally installed it today, by using a USB my uncle sent me.

I would appreciate any advice or tips on how to troubleshoot this.

Hello all,

First of all thanks for reading my post.

I've been playing Victoria for so long yet the latest update somehow messed it up big time. I get kicked out of the game out of blue, the game is so laggy and clunky that sometimes it just freezes for no reason. In addition, the paradox launcher shuts within the first 10 seconds of the game.

Now, my laptop is old but is more than capable enough to run it at max settings but I lowered it to low

still the game is stuttering, freezing and kicks me out. I'm using game run command and geproton 10.13. unfortunately using Nvidia as graphics card.

Does anyone have any solutions for me ?

Thanks again for reading.

Basically what’s in video. OS - Cachy. Please read the following before jumping to conclusions:

It will close this way just fine if Steam window is already opened and present on screen. Perfectly fine.

This issue only exists when Steam window is not on screen and was minimized.

I've tried everything I can scrounge up online. LeShade, reshade_steam_proton by kevinlekiller, latest GitHub action, nothing is working. It's probably user error since I'm a total noob with Linux and how everything works and needs tinkering. I'm trying my best tho 😭

I want RenoDX and another mod that requires Reshade to work, currently it's what's really stopping me from enjoying CD on Linux (CachyOS to be specific). I know it's possible but have yet to get it to work on my end. I believe early on I got ReShade to boot ONCE since I saw the banner popup upon starting the game but it never showed up again.

Can anyone provide a step by step or recommend a guide for me to follow? I've literally been tearing my hair out the past few weeks trying to get this to work. It's probably just a combination of install and having the correct launch params set up in Steam, I'm sure of it 😢

So I've been playing FFXIV recently and have noticed a very strange and peculiar issue regarding mouse inputs. On KDE, if I left click with my mouse, it causes the game to stutter, basically. I notice with MangoHUD that the MangoHUD overlay disappears and reappears very quickly and it's the only game I've ever noticed it do that with.

However what I find is a bit weirder that on Hyprland and Sway, I never noticed this issue, It's exclusive to KDE.

I have played with mouse polling rates and even different mice, but that doesn't solve the issue and I'm 99% confident that the mouse itself isn't the issue, especially considering it works fine on other Wayland compositors (I think is the term for it?)

I know I could just enable the software cursor in game and the problem goes away, however:

1. I'm stubborn
2. I have a custom cursor and I want to see it when I play my games
3. It's such a bizarre issue that I'm genuinely curious as to why this happens and to fix it

Any help would be appreciated.

Addendum: I have tried both the regular launcher and XIVLauncher, various versions of Proton, Proton-GE, and Wine, tested with NTSync, Gamemode, and changing none of these have fixed the issue.

Hi guys!

I previously talked about my idea to fix the broken icons on gnome with an extension. And now I have it on a first stable release and available on gnome store. For now it is still basic, but it fixed the problem rock solid (in my case). There is no settings for now, but I avoided to increase the complexity before other users tested and validate the core functionality. Besides I already have a roadmap for new features (described on repository) and some fixes, I am totally open to feedbacks!

Repository

The problem

This is not a new problem on Gnome, and I took it so seriously that I almost switched to another DE (and I actually did, but came back after a while) sometimes just to see my desktop icons fixed.

I have tried many workarounds to avoid manual intervention, but they usually only solve very specific scenarios.

Some context, for those who dont know what causes this: its related to how Gnome matches applications + with developers that do not acre about Gnome problems. Gnome needs at least a match between the desktop entry name and the app id or wmclass (x11 stuff), using the StartupWMClass property inside the desktop entry.

Since Steam games dont set this right way out of the box, we have to check each games wmclass and manually update the desktop entry. For x11 proton games, there is a pattern (steam_app_<id>), so it’s relatively easy to fix. Wayland and native apps are a completely different story. With Wayland, it’s usually the executable name in lowercase. Native apps, pattern is… there’s no real pattern at all.

Other solutions

I tried to create an user service, but it only solves the case for x11 Proton games, since there is a easy pattern there. For wayland version, there is no consistent pattern (usually just the executable name), and native games are even worse.

At one point, I started overcomplicating things by trying to parse Steam files to figure out which compatibility tool each game uses. The idea was to locate the executable for Wayland titles based on that. For native games, the only viable approach seems to be hardcoding values in a text file.

Other solution was to try to wrapper every game inside a cli that will control the wmclass (or appId if possible) and automatically fix their desktop entry. That one I find too complicated and for that I stopped the development.

This solution

Now, here’s my newest solution (which is working really well so far). I created an extension that looks for windows without icons and tries to match them heuristically to the most probably desktop entry.

Since most cases are pretty obvious, it works quite well. For example, if the game is called “R.E.P.O” and the desktop entry is “R.E.P.O..desktop” it’s just a matter of assigning the WM_CLASS we see in Looking Glass to it. Simple as that.

The extension searches for matches, assigns a score to avoid misunderstanding and only applies changes when the match is strong enough. The heuristic method and scoring system are constantly being improved as I continue testing. I also plan to give users control about scoring and what rules should be enable.

Another important detail I don’t modify your original desktop entries. Instead, I create a new one in a sub directory that mirrors the original, except with the correct StartupWMClass. I also add the NoDisplay=true flag to avoid duplication on entries in the application menu. It can cause bugs with pinned apps, but I am working on it.

Does it process all windows all the time? Yes and no. It keeps track of which windows (by WM_CLASS) have already been processed, so no window is handled twice, even if you close and reopen it. This state resets at the end of the session or when the extension is toggled.

Does it impact performance? That is a good question but Its hard to check the resources since it blends in with Gnome shell in system monitors, but so far I have not noticed any performance impact. If anyone does, please report it and I will investigate.

Is it published? Yes.

Feature improvements

• User settings
  • Debug toggle.
  • Toggle to override original file.
  • List of unmatched apps for easy manual intervention.
  • List of blacklisted wmclasses.
  • Custom blacklist.
  • A reset button to delete every auto-generated desktop entry.
• Improve isValid system (sometimes it tries to fix apps that is already fixed).
• Sync information between the autogenerated file and original file (Icon for example).
• Add typescript and Makefile for better Developement experience.
• Improve rules (if necessary).

I have this issue specifically with gaming on Linux. My right stick will drift up when playing anything. I’ve suffered through it through 3 souls games but it’s driving me nuts. I have xpadneo and xone installed. I’ve done some troubleshooting with them both and removing one of them seems to break my controller inputs altogether.

Galera, como instalar Minecraft no Linux sem vírus e sem cair em site suspeito? Quero baixar do jeito mais seguro possível, de preferência pelo launcher oficial ou métodos confiáveis, pra jogar tranquilo sem risco de malware ou programa estranho.

¡Soy nuevo en Reddit y esta es mi primera publicación!

Hace unos meses tuve un problema con Windows 11: por no configurar bien las copias de seguridad perdí prácticamente todo (por suerte tenía una copia manual de unos meses antes, así que el desastre fue limitado). Decidí aprovechar la liada para hacer una instalación limpia, pero estaba bastante cansado de los problemas constantes de Windows 11, así que me animé a probar Linux. Me decanté por Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Lo instalé, lo probé, lo configurué mucho… muchísimo. Cada día tocaba algo nuevo y la verdad es que me gustaba, se podían hacer muchas cosas y casi todo funcionaba bien. Sí, a veces había demasiada configuración para ciertas cosas o problemas de compatibilidad con mis periféricos, pero en ese momento no me importaba.

El problema vino semanas después. Juegos que funcionaban perfectamente empezaron a fallar sin motivo aparente. Probé Wine, Proton y otras soluciones, pero nada. A eso súmale los problemas con los periféricos: tengo Razer y al no haber app oficial, las alternativas fallaban bastante. Con todo eso encima, acabé volviendo a Windows 11.

La conclusión a la que llegué es que Linux ha avanzado muchísimo y hoy en día es una opción real para gaming… pero en mi caso no terminó de funcionar. Creo que le falta ese toque final para competir directamente con Windows. Eso sí, estoy convencido de que llegará.

Lo que yo priorizo ahora mismo es la comodidad, en Windows instalas, haces clic y a jugar. No quiero estar pendiente de 2 o 3 programas solo para que un juego arranque bien.

¿Qué opináis? ¿Habéis tenido experiencias similares? ¡Me gustaría leeros!

PD: He visto que CachyOS ha recibido una actualización importante orientada al gaming. ¡Tengo que informarme!

Hello.

First of all, I'm aware that there are modern clients that run in Linux.

Primarily, I would like to get to the point of working on an Open Source Engine for NWN, concisely because it's important for Legalities & Peoples' Rights.

*Thinks*

That's sort of concise, though sufficient in those regards, amidst people that understand some things.

I found old NWN Diamond install instructions, & I still have my Diamond disc: a google search should show the results.

Well, I'm missing a few library files.

When running NWN in linux, you simply run ./nwn, & that particular script simply refers to the /miles folder as a source for libraries needed for running NWN in Linux.

Well, I found - of somebody elses' instruction page - a command to figure out what you might be missing still for your install:

readelf -d ./nwmain | grep 'NEEDED'

& the result was:

0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libm.so.6]

0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libpthread.so.0]

0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libGL.so.1]

0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libGLU.so.1]

0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libmss.so.6]

0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libSDL-1.2.so.0]

0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libc.so.6]

If those Shared library files were within the /miles folder, I'm thinking that the game would run.

😄

*Gestures*

Some people are so *pauses* 'humorous'?

Hm.

Honestly, i don't know what to do anymore, i played the Claire Campaing on RE 2 Remake via Framework, but when i tried play half life alyx is a nightmare, i'm using ALVR and the game keeps crashing, freezes on loading screen, lag all the time at the point the characters mouth movement didn't syncronize with the audio.

I thought it was some issue with my PC, but when i tried Arizona Sunshine, the other Steam VR game i have, it runs ok, i tried to change every goddamn setting on ALVR, lowered the resolution, the framerate, tested all three codecs, tried adaptive bitrate, nothing seems work.

My setup is a, Ryzen 7 5700G with a RX 9060 XT 16GB and 16 GB of RAM,m the game is running on a WD 2TB SSD

Im looking for the best linux os & desktop for cloud gaming witch will have less input lag with controllers, my main issue is WAYLAND drivers with games that use proton and controller input lag using bluetooth.
what im looking for
1. reccomended Distros
2. correct Drivers and software
3. reccomended desktop (not KDE i love kde but iv had issues)
im trying to dip from windows i hate windows
