Hello, as the title says, Im thinking about switching to RX9060XT from 3060 ti (i found a pretty good deal for it). Do you think its worth the upgrade? I tried bazzite with 3060 ti but some of the games has pretty low fps even with different proton and driver versions. My cpu is amd 5600x with 16 gb ram and I game at 1440p

The game runs perfectly on Kubuntu 25.10 with Proton Experimental... No other stuff needs to be done. Thanks Gabe!

Hello everyone!

Can anyone help? I have a Intel laptop, and the problem is that in games the FPS is higher on Windows than on Linux. For example, in Disco Elysium I get 80+ FPS on Windows, while on Linux it's around 30 with the same graphics settings. It's the same issue with other games. The Steam FPS overlay also shows that the GPU is being used at 0%.

Specs:

• HUAWEI FLMH-XX-PCB laptop
• Intel Core Ultra 5 125H
• IGPU Intel Arc integrated GPU (Meteor Lake-P)
• Fedora 42

I’ve tried Steam both via Flatpak and native, Proton GE and Proton Experimental, and different distros (Arch, Fedora, Bazzite) — the problem persists everywhere.

I've installed cp2077 (heroic) on my secondary ntfs drive, and it runs like a charm, but dirt 2.0 (steam) will not.

I'm getting frustrated lately about gaming on linux and I'm thinking about going back to windows :( any suggestions?

Hi, I guess you guys might have more experience with this kind of issue so might as well ask here.

I finally started to play Alien Isolation (purchased on Steam) however this game have a native Linux port which is incredibly buggy for me. Because of this I would like to download the Windows version and play it with Proton, is there a way on how to download specifically the Windows version?

I already found the app ID of it though SteamDB, which should be 214491 but when I want to install it with the command

steam://run/214491

I get an error stating that "An error occurred while launching this game: Game configuration unavailable".

Another way I found was to use steamcmd interface, which should be able to download packages by its ID, however that gives me this error: "Error! Failed to install app '214491' (Invalid platform)"

Does someone have experience with this? Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: Many thanks! I guess the easiest solution is also the best one. You are awesome.

Hello, I've been struggling with the game crashing for several days after compiling shaders during the introductory cutscene.

The problems started after I upgraded my graphics card from an RTX 2060 Super to an RTX 5070.

P.S. I reinstalled the game and tried different versions of Proton (9, 10, Experimental).

My laptop crashes mostly when gaming and I mean full system crashes. The logs I could excract were: nvidia-gpu: i2c timeout error e0000000 ucsi_ccg_init failed -110 NVRM: SBIOS suggested GPS supports function 517, but the call failed!

My system specs are:

Operating System: Fedora Linux 42

I have been planning to move to Linux for long, i finally got a second ssd to install Linux and dual boot, but I'm planning to completely ditch windows once i feel warm using Linux.

I play games, my entire library is exclusively on steam, I also work on unity, and i draw on a tablet screen (Huion). I have technical knowledge, but I'm not Hackerman

Ryzen 7 5800X RTX 3070ti 32gb ddr4

I've looked into/been recommended multiple Distros, PopOs, Nobara, Mint... I've tried watching reviews or reading about them, they all seem fine to me, so from your own personal experience, tell me something reviews don't mention about your distro, why should i do or do not use this distro?

That is my problem, Goverlay started showing my cpu temperature as 0 as well as my cpu power.

Which distro suits my hardware best

Hello linuxers,

I am a long time windows user and want to start daily driving an linux distro, However there are so many I can not choose. My pc is primairly a gaming pc but I also use it for other purposes.

My specs are Ryzen 5 7600 Amd radeon RX 7900 Gre 32gb of ddr5 (6000) Samsung SSD 980 pro 1TB

Which distro would best fit my hardware as a first time linux user?

Hey!

I've a question about these little windows (top-left corner) that appears when a program / app is running under wine / proton. I know that in KDE they are hidden but this is not working in GNOME, I've tried to set env vars in lutris but it's still there, anyone had a luck with hiding them? I am running Fedora on GNOME49.

Thanks!

I just thought if the perfect stand and skin for when I get my Steam box

I'm on arch and would like to install my games on a secondary HDD. I've done this before but this time it is not recognizing my HDD, I mounted it to my /home/user/Games directory in my fstab. Upon checking, it is mounted correctly to that directory but when I try to add the path to steam for some reason it does not get added.

My HDD fstype is ext4 that usually worked previously so I don't think that should be the issue.
