Hey there Linux experts,

I'm debating switching to linux (e.g. Bazzite) on my main PC, but I'm having worries about the performance of my GPU, since I've read a lot about performance drops when switching.

How bad is it really? It it a general problem I would also encounter with my older hardware or is it more limited to newer, more performant stuff?

My unprofessional guess would be that the performance gained by getting rid of all of the bloatware etc. would offset the few percent the driver translation causes but idk. if thats how it works

trying to use sober to play roblox but it says its out of date how do i fix that

So i get this error when trying to join

Hey there, So I recently acquired a Dell Alienware 16 Aurora AC16250, with an RTX 5050 8gb GPU, Intel Core 7 and 16 gb ram. Is Linux compatibility with Alienware good?

So I've started using arch linux for a while, and I've noticed that steam simply refused to function whenever I've got my VPN turned on (using opensourceVPN with the network manager and proton VPN servers). I've tried to understand the fundamental issue, and it seems that steam is unable to connect to the internet with the VPN on, likely that it is either unable to send or receive packages using my IP. I've asked a person I know and was advised to make a network manager layer below the one used by the VPN, so that applications can steam can see my IP address and theoritically work unrestricted.

Did anyone encounter such an issue? Does anyone know how to perform such a thing, or whether it actually treats the core issue? Thanks for any help.

So I have a fairly chunky PC with the latest Mint installed(I5-2600k, 32gbDDR4, 4060ti) and I can run pretty much whatever I want just fine, helldivers, baldurs gate, MHWilds (mostly)

Whenever steam starts downloading something... the entire system slows down. Significantly. While downloading BG3 for instance, onto a drive that isn't where the OS is, running a game like Tiny Rouges(also on a different drive from the other two) is suddenly too much and stutters between 2 and 7fps.

Every time I try and look this up, I can only find people complaining about Mint slowing down Steam, not the other way around. Any hints/ Threads or clues I should follow? I'm still fairly new so I haven't tinkered much with anything and I'm worried that grabbing the .deb of steam was wrong somehow?

Sup guys I'm "new" to Linux, I'm using Manjaro, I know how to use Linux on the basics. But I need some advices for the gaming side. I play a lot of games, most of them are from steam and I think a lot of them will work thanks to proton. The game that I want to play is zenless zone zero, but I don't know how to install it, and I use XXMI for the skin mods, will it work?

I'm trying it out right now, and so far i'm quite liking it. I like how you can add an app menu shortcut to games. It's different from Heroic and Lutris though. It might replace Lutris for me maybe.

1. I don't see a way to install GOG games beyond just downloading the .exe from GOG, installing it using wine, then adding the executable to Faugus. Is there a better way?

2. Epic games seem to run all in the "Epic games launcher" prefix? The 1 game i tried installing from epic runs perfectly fine, but i have to open epic games and run the game. Is there a way to add the games from epic to be run directly from Faugus automatically? Or does it not work like that?

I've struggled with mint namely bluetooth didn't work for 8BitDo Pro 2 Bluetooth Gamepad and also cinannimon. Also screen tearing was issue hard to overcome. My gaming laptop is loq 15 with rtx 4050.

When it opens another (headless) window, its usable for like 5 secounds but after that whole game freezes and it crashes. The game im using is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and the secound window opens when you click the pop up button on thing like the efb. Please someone help me fix it.

Heya,

I just a new controller (Gamesir Nova 2 Lite) and it doesn't work on any game that has Proton Experimental, Hotfix or on any GE-Proton 10 version. It only works on Proton 9. The problem is, I'm trying to use it to play Disgaea 5, and anything below Proton 10 makes the game lagging as hell.

Does someone know a workaround besides downgrading to Proton 9? Or hell, even just a fix to the massive Disgaea lag I get on Proton 9.

Hi guys, Can anyone help me I installed DNA but it always said login failure whenever I press the login and if I launch it in steam the game doesn't even show the login bouton. It's just say login failed, I can't even add account to the game. However it actually works sometimes with heroic but not in every cases. I tried to reinstall it, repairing it, I tried different versions of proton : proton-ge, proton-sarek, proton-sarek(async), proton-cachyos

Hey! I am recently Discover Bazzite! And of i want to install in on every old electonic device i see around the house.... Do you think i can install it on a Xbox 360? Or maybe Xbox One?
