I want to use linux, any distro any flavor any kernel. I want to play my PCVR games (i use a quest 2 with virtual desktop) and I don't want to dual-boot. I have yet to see a solution to this problem (PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, I WANT TO BE WRONG) Until there is proper support for PCVR/Streaming of PCVR to the Quest 2, i have to get on my knees and bl*w Bill Gates, just so my wifi drivers don't disappear. Why does Windos 11 suck so bad, and why is there a lack of VR support for linux...

Hey. I use heroic launcher for gaming but installing the games makes it complicated and repacks also cause problems.. Is there a way to get pre installed games so that i can directly execute the exe file for running the game straight from there without being bothered by installation process.. Just like how we used to transfer games in the old days through pendrives..

I tried CSGO already but I didn't like the shooting mechanics.

I wanted to try PUBG but ProtonDB convinced me otherwise.

Anyone got any other games I could try? it doesn't have to be a Battle Royale.

I have been using fedora for a while but don't get me wrong I know nothing about linux since I haven't tried to do anything but basic things on it which I have conveniently forgot.
I am using the latest fedora, and whenever I try to open steam it gives me the message
Couldn't set up Steam data - please contact technical support
Could you please help me, in a way I can understand because all linux help I see online makes me feel illiterate.

Does anyone have a possible fix for xdefiant cuz it crashes after a couple of matches , sometimes even in the first one or in the menu . I have followed most of the guides on YT and still its crashing. Is there any fix for this or do we just have to wait for an update. Thanks !!

I tried to run Minecraft 1.8.9 on Debian testing however it crashes with this error despite me installing OpenJDK 8 from the sid repo, 1.21 works, and this issue is present on both flatpak and deb, IIRC stable didnt have this issue.

Getting a 6800XT today, and I know my PSU should be fine (PCPartPicker Watt Calc), but I just wanted to see if there are any apps that can control the voltage control or the power limit so I don't get crashes based on power.

Current Specs Ubuntu 24.04 6.8.0-35-generic-kernel R5 5600X 32 GB DDR4 650W EVGA SuperNova GT GTX 1060 6GB

I am aware of CoreCtrl but for some reason it seems super limited and its not picking up my current GPU for whatever reason. Thanks y'all!

Hi peeps.

I am playing Kingdom Come Deliverance with the Heroic Game Launcher since I was given a free copy a couple of years ago on the Epic store, but sometimes I still play it on Windows when I need to have this OS.

However, seems that I have to manually replace the save files from Linux to Windows and viceversa. I was wondering how I can make this process a bit more automatic. Since I can use Btrfs on Windows, I tried to create a link from the Linux's saves folder (original) to Windows, but in this case the game doesn't find any save files.

I tried to upload and force-upload the save files with Heroic in order to sync these, but Heroic in this case tries to infinitely upload without really finishing the task (unless it's just slow and it'll require more than a couple of hours, which I doubt).

I was also thinking about mounting as subvolume, but since Windows is with NTFS, I guess it wouldn't work (and I've never really understood subvolumes). I also think that Linux's symlinks would work on Windows otherwise. Does anybody here have any idea or solutions?

My Linux OS is openSUSE Slowroll with KDE.

I want to learn more about linux and dump windows finally I cannot decide which distro install so I'm still investigating.

I'm about to try Debian and I have a couple of questions regarding gaming, I would like to know which of these options will work the best with my hardware and will give more fps and less input lag.

• I have a Ryzen 5 5600g with no dgpu, it would work fine?

• Should I go with Wayland or X11?

• Should I go with KDE or GNOME?

• Is Debian sid good for this purpose?

Thanks in advance.

Hi. I don't know if this question was already answered, but I was about to install one of Ubisoft's games and I remembered the UPlay launcher. Does anyone know a way to avoid this installation to play? Or how can I install it (if necessary)?

Currently running a legacy GTX 980. Last I tried, back when Fedora 40 released in March, Wayland support was only half-functional. Abhorrent flickering (especially in games; noticed in F:NV, TF2, ULTRAKILL, and likely others) and screen tearing under Wayland, had to manually reinstall Xorg support. Recently switched to i3 under Arch and, while much smoother, I *am* thinking about switching to Hyprland, but I also want to be able to game without switching WMs every time. Current official Arch package is still 550.90, so I'm assuming it won't be until 560 that these issues are resolved? Any workarounds that would allow a no-compromises Wayland setup, or will that have to wait until 560?

I've been trying to get E:D Odyssey working on Arch Linux (Hyprland) so I installed HGL and imported Elite which was installed on another SSD from Windows. At first, nothing worked, then I installed some frameworks with the following commands from another reddit post:

winetricks -q dotnet48 winetricks -q dxvk155 wine reg ADD 'HKCU\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' '/f' '/v' 'd3d9' '/t' 'REG_SZ' '/d' 'native'

I also selected the Proton GE version.
Then I was greeted with the minimal Elite launcher (just skips the graphical launcher for the game and saves some time). Additionally, a black window popped up which should've been Elite Dangerous Odyssey. After a few seconds (12:09:53), it disappeared and the min-ED-launcher shows this:

So, are there any more fixes I can apply to make it work?

Hi linux_gaming,
Hoping for some help or ideas with my issue. I've built a linux gaming pc for the living room tv currently running BazziteOS (SteamOS clone escentially). It's on a B650E ryzen 7th gen platform with a RX7900XTX.

Just to pre-face, i have installed windows on this hardware and had 7.1 surround work with minimal issues. I run 4k 120hz. It seems to be a general issue with Linux as i've tried multiple distributions so far.

I have a Denon AVR-X1700H and a Samsung TV.

First thing i tried was e-arc, by using HDMI 2.1 from the GPU to the samsung TV, with the TV connected to the reciever over e-arc. However e-arc barely seems to work in best case scenarios so i quickly gave up (i would only get 2 channel stereo, the machine never recognized any multi-channel audio over e-arc).

I've tried using hdmi through the denon reciever as well, but i would never get 4k 120hz working.

I found that trying to get multi-channel hdmi audio over the RX7900XTX is hopeless, it's apparently a fundemental problem with AMD GPUs, i could not get it working on Windows either.

What i currently do is using hdmi from the GPU to the samsung TV, then a second hdmi connecting the motherboard to the denon reciever. Escentially audio runs over the motherboard and video over the GPU. This works, kinda, as I get constant audio stutter and cut-outs, it's very distracting. If i mess around with pipewire i have manage to get the stuttering to stop, but after a couple days it's back.

I'm left wondering if multi-channel audio over hdmi is possible on linux? I've seen people recommend sound cards, but as far as i know, there are no soundcards that outputs to HDMI.

Hello

I wanted to get me my first proper gaming mouse and plan on getting a Logitech G Pro X Superlight. I would especially like to know if Lightspeed works without issues since I want to use it wirelessly with minimal latency and if there are any issues with setting its DPI (to my understanding, it should work as it seems to be supported by libratbag/piper and Solaar?), but also interested in learning about any other potential compatibility issues as opposed to Windows.

Thank you in advance!

Within Steam I added the .exe file as a non-Steam game, ran the .exe using the latest version of Proton, went into launch options and typed '-game cstrike' (this worked with the Afraid of Monsters - Director's Cut mod) but then when I hit play on Half Life it doesn't launch at all, I thought it was a compatibility issue with Linux so I tried the Windows version and it didn't work, I even tried the beta version of Half Life (still no luck).

Maybe this mod is just too old to work with modern operation systems, but what do you guys think? I'm probably about to go to sleep, tired of messing with it, but please leave comments on how I could get it to run if you know.
