Linux gaming is great, I am on omarchy archlinux and I've been having a blast, most of the games are working due to proton layer but I just can't shrug it off when I think about Apex, league of legeds, valorant or other BS games on the market.

Apex especially removed support due to "cheaters" and now they have more hackers than ever, can't believe they're thinking this is good business.

Well, EA being EA

Even Diablo 4 is working like a dream, how can blizzard do it and they cannot.

About me, and what I did:

I am illiterate on anything with PCs outside Windows (been using XP, 8, and 10 for 20 years, and my tech literacy level on it is just enough to game and send emails)

I then did a "leap of faith" after seeing Windows AI enshittification, and after being reassured by at least three people that Linux Mint is good for gaming, and downloaded and installed Mint on my second-hand workstation PC (therefore I barely know the insides of it). Therefore, what we're working with is basically a fresh Linux Mint Cinnamon install.

After I successfully Steam with Proton, got Schedule 1 and Arma 3 "running" at 2 frames per second, Arma 2 not able to start due to DirectX issues

Starting off, I just want to play Arma 3 on Steam. I'll return if problems persist on other games.

I was able to play everything on my Steam library back when my PC ran on Windows 10.

Specs (of that I know):

- GPU: NVIDIA P1000

- CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700

- OS: Linux Mint Cinnamon

One thing I know I do not know is if my PC has an up-to-date graphics driver, and the huge wall of command lines and to-do-lists of what to download confuse me. What should I do regarding that?

If you advise that I am too nooby for Mint, should I take one friend's advice and switch to pop_os, and then try to start anew there? And/or, should I just revert back to windows 10, which I've overwritten (which means basically sending my PC to a shop and getting them to install it for me, throwing in the towel with DIY PC UI work)?

EDIT 0: I am running Proton 10.0-3 on Steam for the games.

EDIT 1: I typed lshw in the command prompt terminal and got the now updated info for the CPU.

I switched to Linux on my main PC recently. Not sure how Microsoft managed to make Windows 11 worse than 10, but here we are.

I wanted to switch for some time but I had some online games that I was not sure if they work or not.

Hell Let Loose was one of them and I'm happy to report that it works great with my specs in 1080p: Ryzen 5 3500x (6 cores/6 threads), 16 GB RAM, Intel Arc 750 8GB.

Fps: 70-85. No stutter like I got sometimes on Windows.

Hi everyone, I wanted to know if anyone had tested various wireless peripherals on SteamOS, such as keyboards and mouse. My dilemma was system compatibility, since I wanted an RGB keyboard and mouse with 2.4 GHz USB for data transmission (no Bluetooth). I'd like to know if you have any wireless RGB keyboards (preferably all-black) or mouse you'd recommend. Thanks in advance.

Keeps closing on launch, i believe this is a global issue but im unsure, if anyone knows the reason why or a fix that would help a lot.

So, it's the third Linux distro I try. The first one was Nobara, then Bazzite, now Cachy OS.

In all of them the audio comes desynchronized with a huge delay in respect to the video. It isn't a hardware problem because everything works fine in Windows, so what could it be? The Nvidia drivers?

But if they are, why I'm not seeing people talking about it? I'm starting to think that this problem affects every single Linux distribution.

Hey All!

Just lately I tried bazzite with my nvidia card as a daily driver. It simply ROCKS! I love it so much. But.... displaylink/evdi/Wayland. There appears to be just a laundry list of issues trying to get displaylink to work on Plasma 6/wayland. As an experiment as I haven't rebuilt my system 100% and temporarily distro hopping, I loaded the displaylink drivers on Linux Mint. Bang! Works right away with no issues.

Do you stick with Mint, or wait until bazzite catches up? It does look like evdi has support for the 6.17 kernel now. Has anyone ever gotten displaylink/evdi working on Bazzite/Fedora 43?

"LG has announced its new flagship OLED TV at CES 2026. The OLED evo G6 will deliver higher brightness and lower screen reflectivity than its LG G5 predecessor, and it will be the world’s first TV with 120Hz cloud gaming and ultra-low latency Bluetooth controller support."

Yeah, but I keep getting downvoted for stating that the gaming industry is planning on forcing everyone into renting their PC from a Nvidia data center & quadrupling the cost of memory isn't an accidental step towards making "private ownership" of computers financially impossible.

Hey everyone. I am about to officially make the switch from Windows to Linux. Mihoyo games are straight up the only hurdle I have, as it's not officially supported on Linux. I know it can be supported via Wine. Mihoyo's anti-cheat software isn't compatible with this, and so, it carries the risk of a ban.

Just wanted a 2026 update if there are any real cases of players who weren't tampering with the game's mechanics, that got banned for playing Genshin on Linux. I'd really hate to resort to mobile only or a dual boot for a single game. Thank you!

Hi, I'm trying to cap my fps in ARC Raiders to 60 during my entire play session. For some reason, the fps is capped to 60 for a few minutes when i launch the game. However, after some time the fps randomly gets uncapped and shoots up. I'm using hyprland on CachyOS.

Here's my pc specs:
CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700H (20) @ 5.00 GHz
GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Max-Q / Mobile [Discrete]
GPU 2: Intel Iris Xe Graphics @ 1.50 GHz [Integrated]

I'm currently using these launch options:
DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 gamescope -w 1920 -h 1200 -r 60 -b --cursor=confine --force-grab-cursor -- %command%

Hi folks,

I'm on EndeavourOS and have almost 90 hours in AoW4, so I played it a while without problems. After buying Giant Kings DLC (which may jut be coincidence) the game started crashing after some while. Sometimes sooner, sometimes later. Actually it seems to crash the whole AMD driver. The keyboard is responsive, but the screen shows the game with colored dots all over and I need to restart the system.

I run the game with Heroic Games Launcher (GOG), tested switching to Proton GE-Protn-latest, WINE-GE-latest and WINE default from GE-Proton-26, no change, except the launcher crashing before even starting the game. I enable Enable WINE Wayland, which at least removed the crash report of the launcher crashing (even though the game started). No avail.

Within the game I tried exclusive Window mode and borderless mode, enable driver fix (found that one on ProtonDB) and still, after some turns the game gets unresponsive for some time (this tells me to save and quit now) and if I continue the described crash happens.

EndeacourOS, AMD Ryzen 3700X, AMD Radeon 5700X, game on GOG launched with Heroic Games Launcher.

If anyone has some pointers I would be grateful, as it used to work. Can't tell if it was some system update of the system or the game that caused it and would like to continue playing.

Pretty new to Linux. Using a toshiba satellite p55w c5210 4k with a Mobile intel hd graphics 5500.

Trying to run Deep Rock and I get the d3dd11 compatible GPU error. After a quick google I think I might be just about the minimum requirements to run it at the lowest possible settings. But I am not sure how to fix the error. Is this even fixable or is the computer just not strong enough. Thanks for any help you can offer. Rock and Stone!
