In the main Steam settings under Compatibility, the Steam default proton compatibility tool is set to Proton Experimental. I forgot if that was what it was set to as default when on a new Steam installation. What does everyone else have it set to?

When it is set to Proton Experimental, connecting online in-game to any game and it's servers fails for me for some reason. Changing to a different proton version connects fine and everything works normally.

Proton Experimental does work fine in running and playing games, just it does not seem to connect to what ever online service or server a game is using.

Just wanted to check if anyone else have this issue with Proton Experimental or is there something not right with my system?

How to display Frames Per Second if I have AMD Radeon GPU? I don't see it in the FAQ and on the wiki. Is this because everyone uses Steam and you only display Frames Per Second with steam overlay? I have some games bought from GOG.

Happy valentine’s day ❤️

The games that I have tried, Factorio and Rimworld, both run at 13 fps max, the TPS/UPS is fine, my CPU is getting nearly maxed out, and my GPU is not being used, granted neither of those games are GPU heavy. I'm running KDE Neon with KDE Plasma, I've tried X11 and Wayland, I've also tried both X11 and Wayland on GNOME and it made no difference.

On my steam drive with 10 games installed I had nearly 1tb of shaders I understand shaders are required for the DX to VK conversion but it’s a bit excessive in size might need to buy a new drive just for shaders.

Anyone know of any tinytask alternatives that work well on wayland? If possible the alternative would just be able to record the mouse movement and clicks with auto playback.

i installed bazzite recently and i installed minecraft but theres no sound? i dont get it why theres no sound in a program, theres sound in other programs but not minecraft

I downloaded a pack through Jackify and when I open the game through Mod Organizer 2 I get the splash screen then it just results in a black screen. Jackify added MO2 to steam for me and I can run Skyrim normally through steam. Anyone here encounter a similar problem?

I have a 4K 60 Hz monitor and sometimes want to use it as a 1080p 120 Hz. So I need CRU for Linux. As far as I know, this was possible under X11. But can I also do this under Wayland?

i wanted to reinstall bazzite because i f up something with sunshine but now it doesn't let me anymore.

what i did:

*i bootet from the boot stick with bazzite

*chose the two partition that were from the previous installation

*startet the dow load and got the error message

"The command 'ostree container image deploy -sysroot=/mnt/sysimage --image=/run/install/repo/ bazzite-deck-stabie -transport=oci -no- signature-verification' exited with the code 1."

at the process:

Deployment starting: /run/install/repo/ bazzite-deck-stable

what i tried:

*reflashed the bootstick with balenaetcher

*deletet the the bazzite partitions manually over the windows partition manager

but still nothing does anyone know how i can fix it?

Hi, I'm reaching out because I've run out of ideas... I play Farming Simulator on Fedora (latest version) via Steam. I'm using an Xbox Series S controller, and it works intermittently in the game. I've tried adding it through Fedora's settings and with Xpadneo.

The symptoms: only the joysticks and triggers work in-game.

However, when I view the controller in Steam, all the buttons work.

If anyone has any ideas!

Basically I cannot access the library or the store. I also cannot move it. I searched on Google, and it seems like nobody had this problem which I really doubt.

So does someone know how to solve this? Thanks!

Last time I posted I didn't have much to show but talked a bit about how I develop on Linux and obviously have Linux & Steamdeck as my primary platforms :)

Today I'm close to the demo and can show you uncut gameplay footage.

This is a complete flight on the map the demo will (likely) ship with. Took off from a base, picked up a stray cargo crate worth 1337 credits (not planned, I swear), then flew to the nearest platform and landed.

The annotations call out specific moments, but a lot of what's happening between them is just... flying. Fighting the wind, managing altitude, watching fuel and weight.

The game is a cargo delivery loop on a hostile moon. You haul crates between bases, deal with wind, meteors, geysers, and lightning storms, earn credits, repair damage, and upgrade your lander. It's meant to feel meditative between the moments of crisis.

Demo is very close to release. This is pretty much what you'll get in the demo.

Wishlist "Void Cargo: Equilibrium" on Steam and you get info when the demo lands

Hi there,

Lately I have been on a very boring cycle of massive buy & return with regards to 2.4G gamepads (I am very sensitive to input lag so no, Bluetooth is not an option).

The problem is that all of the ones I tried, from known models like 8BitDo Pro 3 to cheaper options on Aliexpress, come with an USB 2.4G receiver that identifies itself with a vendor:model when the gamepad is OFF and changes it's vendor:model when the gamepad is ON, causing a massive hit on the system because all the systemd+udev+kernel stuff that the re-connection implies., which causes whatever I am emulating to produce several audio dropouts (it's unavoidable even if I pre-load all the needed kernel modules, etc, nothing wrong with my system, it's just that the receiver "self-reconnection" when powering ON the gamepad should NOT happen).

Older, 2.4G digital-only models I have like the 8BitDo M30, SN30+DaemonByte, etc.. do NOT do this absurd thing: the 2.4G USB receiver is always connected and it's vendor:model doesn't change when I turn on the gamepad itself.

So, any recommendations on 2.4G gamepads (with analog sticks) that don't do this vendor:model "swap" thing when activating the gamepad, please?

I have been using Linux for a bit now and I really like it, one of my favourite bits is how customisable the desktop is. But while I’m gaming I don’t use the desktop and Windows immediately boots Steam into Big Picture mode. And I know many people WOULD say: “But Aardvark! Windows is horrible spyware and full of ads!” But I am aware of that and that’s why I’ve been debloating using things like O&O ShutUp and Wintoys. But I don’t know if this is as good as using Linux. I don’t game on Linux due to a few reasons (game support, NVIDIA card, etc) but even though I find debloating annoying, I find it less annoying than gaming on Linux. But I want to know if there is anything other than the lack of spyware that I may be missing out on. Something that not even debloating would do for.

I recently switched from windows 11 to Arch Linux and everything was great until I encountered a problem which I solved on windows 11 a long time ago.

Whenever I'm gaming for a long time or my laptop has been on for a while and I start playing games, sometimes randomly my fps will be cut in half, for example: I was playing Arc Raiders at 100-130 fps very smooth, and randomly it dropped to 40-50.

I managed to fix this on windows 11 by opening the Omen Gaming Hub and changing my power profile from performance to balanced or low, and back to performance. I'm not sure if just the act of opening the Omen Gaming Hub and waiting a while fixed this or my profile switching but fiddling around in there seemed to fix this issue.

BTW this issue could also be fixed by restarting my laptop.

But now, on ARCH, there is no Omen Gaming Hub, how do I even begin to try to fix this issue, please help this is very annoying.

Also was looking for that feature in amd cpu where you could turn off "turbo boost" or "processor performance boost mode" or whatever it was called where you could set it to values like "aggressive" or "disabled" and what not, that had previously fixed my heating issues.

I know cachyos focuses more on gaming but I heard it can be unstable bec it's based on arch I dont have an nividia gpu so drivers shouldn't be a problem

Which one should I choose if I want to use linux as a daily driver without being scared of breaking anything?

Been on Windows for a while and had my yearly urge to try Linux again

Ive tried Linux quite a few times in the past and never had an issue before with my Nvidia card (2060) until now

Installed Nobara (Nvidia image) and tried watching Youtube after installation was done and it was laggy as hell.

Also had a CachyOS ISO so tried that too and that was the same.

I saw there's been a recent change to drivers dropping support for 10** series card but this shouldn't effect me afaik.

Is there something else I should be aware of, as previously all these systems have worked out of the box for me.

Sadly back on Windows for now.
