Hello All!

I recently joined the Linux community as a grew tired of windows and I realized that the games I actually enjoyed playing were playable on Linux. Anyways one thing that I have been struggling with a lot is dealing with friend/people who make fun of the fact that I run Linux and that games that they play/want me to play do not run on Linux.

My question I guess would be do you deal with something similar/ have you in the past? Why do you enjoy gaming on Linux as a main operating system?

Thank you in advance for your replies!

I use a CRT Monitor and a script to use xrandr to set my custom resolution at login. I would like to switch to gnome or KDE Plasma, but I haven't been able to figure out setting a custom resolution in Wayland.

Has any one had much luck getting custom resolutions to work in Wayland? Has anyone got custom resolutions to work using boot parameters? I haven't. Should I stick to X11?

Hey there, I recently moved to Linux and a relative beginner with it. Decided to install Mint, as it seemed a nice distro to start with.

My main problem is I have began installing some of my games again and Death Stranding Director's Cut is the only game out of the 6 I have installed that has been giving me some issues. I had a look on ProtonDB and it was Gold rated which sounded great and a number of the comments said it worked out of the box.

When I launch it I will get this error. I have tried changing Proton versions, even used ProtonUp-QT to install Proton GE and it will be the same regardless. But when this error comes up and the game closes. The game will then load up fine after a few attempts without changing anything.

All I know is it's something to do with vulkan, but not sure what to do about it. Other than the annoyance of having to try a few times before it will successfully load in, I can live with it. Just trying to understand what the error is, thanks for any insight.

OS: Linux Mint 22.1

KERNEL: 6.8.0-55-generic

CPU: Intel Core i7-8086K @ 4.00GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

DRIVER: NVIDIA 550.120

RAM: 32 GB

Hello,

I'm currently facing a problem where I cannot play a game using my Dedicated GPU, it launches with my integrated GPU. I've installed the wine dependencies and drivers. When I go to the global settings and try to change the default GPU, it's grayed out. (as provided in the screenshot)

Note that I am using a laptop with two GPUs, one dGPU which is NVIDIA GTX 1650, and another iGPU radeon graphics series

If you need any additional information, just let me know.

Additional Information:
Desktop: Hyprland
Lutris is installed a regular system package, not using Flatpak.

(I use Arch, BTW)

EDIT: Added more additional information

I cannot get a new kernel to work on my laptop. Display always fails with the error

[drm:amdgpu_atombios_get_connector_info_from_object_table [amdgpu]] ERROR invalid con_obj_id 22 for device tag 0x0002

This bug causes amdgpu to not detect the lvds output and thus makes the laptop unusable. This is Debian Trixie. AMD BONAIRE.

Reverting to linux 6.8 works, so the hardware IS functional. I have not tested 6.9-6.11. I am attempting to upgrade straight from 6.8 to 6.12.

Does anybody know how i can fix this? Google has nothing.

Hello! Idk if I'm right here with my problem but I got the Redragon ranger lite M910-KS (wired dual) mouse today but I can't quite figure out, how to change the settings/use the software on linux.

I ran the software through Lutris with wine and the program itself is running just fine. Tho, it's always saying "no device"...

Anyone can help? Or know where I could find any? :,)

Hola

Is there anybody out there with motherboard that uses Intel AX200 as a wifi/bluetooth card?

Could you check something out for me (want to rule out my hardware).

Is bluetooth module detected for you and working? Mine for some reason is not detected by Linux, so far tried out Arch, Debian, Fedora and Bluefin/Bazzite.

I'm not expecting anyone to actually have an answer for this (I suspect there's nothing I can do about it) but I thought I'd toss this out there just to see if I can lucky - has anyone else had this issue with Bulletstorm? I'm running it under Steam on Mint with a VERY old Nvidia card.
What it does is this "sun blindness" effect where whenever I'm areas where the sun is meant to be shining (whether it be outside in the sun, or sun filtering inside through a window, or whatever" I get these huge halos covering large portions of the screen, and thankfully the game is extremely forgiving because it makes some areas dang near unplayable.
I've tried setting all the video settings to low, messed with vsynch, etc and nothing makes a difference.
If anyone has had this happen and figured out how to fix it that would be great, as I'm enjoying the game but get super frustrated at this.

Basically, I used Heroic launcher to connect to my epic games account, I've had good experiences with non-rockstar games, and I used lutris to connect my epic games launcher in the past but epic games on lutris doesn't work well these days, so that's why I switched to Heroic launcher ... Anyway, the problem I have now is that after downloading GTA 5 enhanced through heroic launcher, when I launch it, rockstar launcher opens up (which is normal since I just downloaded it) but the problem is it doesn't detect where did heroic launcher downloaded GTA 5 and all the data about game and whatnot, it couldn't find the installation. What should I do? Thanks in advance

My dad took my laptop temporarily to UAE, and I'm left with my Uncle's Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (probably 3567), it has an HDD 1 TB, 4 GB of RAM and an Intel Core i3 7th gen, which distros should I use for mid to heavy gaming for this thing? It might not be possible but I'll adjust the settings and stuff I will also use this PC for light productivity work

I'm very new to the Linux environment so please be friendly...

Proton has been working fairly well for me; except I get a lot of audio crackles and pops (no snaps though) while a game is running.

Is there anyway to fix this?

I'm running endeavour OS.

Heyyy I'm a noob to Linux, but still installed Cachyos to try out gaming on Linux. I usually update the system with pacman but also did it with yay last time. I did a reboot and was welcomed by an infinite black screen with an underscore in the left upper corner. After some troubleshooting I think it is because there is a version mismatch between my GPU drivers (NVIDIA). The core proprietary driver "nvidia" seems to be older then the rest, which seems to lead to conflicts because of the dependencies.

So the drivers version on AUR is older, than its dependencies I think. How long does it usually take, for authors of packages like these to give us the AUR version of the upstream nvidia driver? (It's online on NVIDIA's website already) Or is there another way? Downgrading the rest of them always lead me to different kinds of version conflicts, but I think I never tried downgrading all of them at once. Any other advice is welcome!

PS: I can't use open nvidia driver, because I am a poor student still running a 1080

I downloaded steam and logged in, and its not opening past the "reading user data" and it freezes the center of my screen for 1-2 seconds every 6-7 seconds. Any fix? I'm baby new to linux.

I've tried unistalling using

sudo apt autoremove steam

But it tells me 'steam:i386' is not installed. And I can't find a way to install it

While my program spawns multiple windows, I want one window to be fullscreen (the others can be in the background or ignored).

Currently, I'm studying Japanese via immersion (actively engaging with Japanese media). To facilitate this, I use a piece of software called Textractor which reads the memory of the game to get the Japanese text, which I can then create flashcards for etc..

For this, it needs to run in the same wineprefix. I do this by running a bat script via cmd.exe. Textractor spawns two windows, which I need to use to inspect the text being monitored. However, after this is configured, I no longer need to use the window (since it puts the text in my clipboard). Configuration must be done via the gui every time. After it's configured, I want to fullscreen to play the game.

My problem is that gamescope is very inconsistent on my system. Most of the time it doesn't. I get a (EE) failed to read Wayland events: Connection reset by peer.. I couldn't find much information on this online. When gamescope does work, there doesn't seem to be a clear way to cycle between windows (I see another)

Some additional info:

• I use River on Arch Linux Using river to toggle fullscreen mode just puts the window in the corner with black bars filling the rest of the screen.
• I have tried gamescope-git and gamescope
• gamemoded is running (via systemd). However, I get this strange error with gamemoded -t:

​

GameMode ERROR: Could not connect to bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-14qcO5Zlmf: No such file or directory ERROR: gamemode_query_status failed: Could not connect to bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-14qcO5Zlmf: No such file or directory! ERROR: is gamemode installed correctly?

I do start my window manager with dbus-run-session so I'm not sure what the problem is here? This could be a red herring though.

• winetricks virtual desktop I have tried configuring a virtual desktop via winetricks but this configuration seems to be ignored? I also frequently get errors while doing this.

Apologies for the essay but I'd appreciate any direction. I've spent way too much time on this lol.

Hey. Sorry for all the noobish questions now, I'm new to Linux in general but very very willing to learn.

Been thinking about doing this forever, got a new NVME drive a while ago so i had to reinstall my OS and tried W11 which i absolutely hate.

Which made me think about, why not try Linux at the same time.

Decided to try out the flavor Mint since it seems to be very close looking to Windows, so it's not something that's completely unrecognizable.

My main use of my computer is mostly gaming, scrolling the web and video editing from time to time.

So i have installed Mint on a separate SSD instead of creating a partition on my main drive which i felt was easier to do, way easier to separate the OS'es.

Been setting some things up and i have to say, the overall user experience of Mint is actually amazing. For a complete beginner with this Distro, it's doing a great job at holding my hand to explain everything.

First thing i'm wondering about, i installed Steam and tried to do some gaming, but the only games i could get to run through steam was Dota and CS2, no other game even launched even though steam said it was launching the game. From a little reading, my understanding is that this happens because the drive i have these game on is a NTSF drive, and Linux doens't seem to like that filesystem if i understand it correctly, i however got Dota and CS to run so my question is, why does Valve games run fine like this, but other games don't (games i tried was Marvel Rivals, Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8 and Silent Hill 2, same issue with all games and all games are certified on Protondb). Does this mean i have to format this drive as a ext4 drive instead to be able to run the games on it? This is a drive that only contains games, games are already installed on them and i have been gaming on Windows with this.

Second thing i'm wondering about, i have some games that i have gotten from a friends GoG library, since it's DRM free i got to login to his account to download these installers to my PC. What is the easiest way to get these to work on Linux, since they're not connected to GoG galaxy, it's just folders with a .exe in it. Been looking into Wine and from what i understand, i need Wine to get this to work but exactly how?

The games here are Cyberpunk 2077 and Stalker 2.
Can i somehow install these games with the .exe files, i guess through wine somehow? and then launch them through steam with Proton or does that only work with games owned and installed directly through steam?

Third thing and this is something i really don't understand that well when it comes to Linux. GPU drivers, how do they actually work? From what i have gathered there's drivers baked into the Kernel when downloading it from the site and it's an out of the box experience but, how do i keep them updated? And how do i know i am up to date on the drivers? I have a AMD RX 7700 XT GPU.

Fourth thing, and maybe this isn't something i should ask here but, pirated games like fitgirl packs, can they work through Linux in a easy way?
Reason i am asking is because i do this sometimes to demo games basically. I don't want to spend $70 on something i'm not even sure i will like and 2 hours is not enough of time to know if i would like a game or not so i rather go this way to demo games.

Very very sorry for the noobish questions, but i really want to go away from Windows as much as possible since i absolutely don't like Windows 11 that much at all and it feels weird to go back to Windows 10 since the support for it will end anyways.
