Hello everyone,

I'm quite paranoid about system security. I use Linux as my main system and sometimes I use wine, mainly to run windows games.

I read on the official wine website that it's not virus proof... but is it in terms of virus that runs only inside the windows environment or does it spread over the entire OS, steal browser cookies and session tokens or worse encrypt the entire disk??

If I have a game that I don't trust (or anything else windows related 😅), how do I get a completely VIRUS PROOF environment to run windows program and games (VM is not an option)?

Are Lutris and Bottles completely sandboxed?

Any suggestions are welcome!

(I have done some research, but it's not really clear, and since we are talking about a serious thing, I preferred to ask someone that maybe more informed about it.)

Hello, as the title says ubisoft connect won't boot anymore through faugus and lutris when the previous day it worked.

After reinstalling and trying different proton versions i managed to get this error:
"upc.exe "A debugger has been found running in your system.
Please, unload it from memory and restart your application." ".

Specs:
cpu i5 10400f, gpu rx 6600, 16gb ram, os 6.19.10-1-cachyos-bore (64 bit)

Hello,

I had Ubisoft Connect set up with Heroic Games Launcher, and since yesterday (1.04.2026) I can't launch it.
I've already tried:

- different wine versions (Proton-cachyos, protonGE, proton-cachyos-slr, and wine)

- reinstalling with fresh installer file

When I ran installer through proton-cachyos I got for a brief moment an error about a debugger running in the system. Finished installation anyway and it didn't launch.

Reinstalled it again, keeping the stock wine settings, installation finished without an error, and Uplay launched once. Then I changed it to proton-cachyos for the in-game performance and then it didn't launch anymore.

Other games launch with no problem.

Does anybody has this problem/already found the solution?

----

I doubt it will help but if you need it, here's my setup:

CachyOS latest (updated today)
KDE Plasma 6.6.3 / Wayland
R5 3600 / GTX 980 Ti (580.142 drivers) / 16GB DDR4

And Heroic's log from launching the launcher:

I am currently using Steam's game mode exclusively on CachyOS. I was wondering how you are recording your gaming sessions while on this mode as well as participating in voicechat with something like Discord. Regarding the voice chat aspect, I am already experimenting with the built-in feature on Steam, which is working fine for small groups of pals.

I appreciate your recommendations. Thanks!

I recently switched to CachyOS from Linux mint and my controller just refuses to work while inside of games, it detects it being connected and shows the appropriate glyphs, it works within the big picture mode menu but the moment I enter a game it just stops working.

Neither the D input mode nor the 2.4 GHz mode work and both have the same issue, back in Linux Mint I added udev rules for the controller to have the gyro input work but every other input worked out of the box without the udev rules, the gyro works on cachy as it's being read on the calibration screen but as I said the controller acts as if it's not connected once I'm inside a game.

Another thing of note is that when Steam is not open the controller constantly disconnects and reconnects for some reason, this stops once steam is open.

I really don't know what to do about this because I tried adding the udev rules and that didn't work and every other source I found says to add the controller id with said udev rules but it just doesn't work.

i recently installed cachyOS for some experimentation with performance, gaming and work, but i have a little problem with some of my games.

in world of warships for instance, i have stables 60 FPS but the game camera moves in microjumps or something like that, i tried in Arknights Endfield too, and other games and is the same problem, only exceptions are the very very very light games like terraria.

i tried with different proton versions like GE, CachyOS, DW, Vanllia and is the same problem so idk what more try to fix this little problem (is not the big deal but compared with windows, yes it feels the change).

hola a todos, soy nuevo en esto de linux y apenas estoy investigando para instalar una distro, pero creo que final mente em decidí por bazite por que me gusta mucho jugar, pero tengo un problema, mis componentes son un poco curiosos, tengo una rx 580 msi armor.

Que hasta ahí pues todo bien, pero mi cpu es un Xeon E5 2680 V3 y mi ram es de esa rara que es solo para servidor, creo que es sdim ddr4 y tengo 16 gb, creen que tenga algún inconveniente con compatibilidades, o en general no debería tener problemas mayores con estas piezas? agradezco si me pueden darme consejos o si alguien tiene un pc similar me y me pudiera contar como fue su experiencia se los agradeciera.

если что у меня cachyos , и игра куплена в стим , я много чего перепробывал но игра не запускается , пробывал установить вручную EA app . так-же я использую ge-proton 10-34 , на нем у меня есть какието сдвиги . просто я очень хочу запустить игру через portproton , там у меня моя видеокарта (rx580) разгоняется на vulkan . на секунду игра запускается и вылетает. также у меня нет самого приложения EA app , хотя я его скачивал , запускается он только с помощью eainstailer.exe , при этом нужно заново скачивать приложение , после его закрытия его не найти нигде ( ни в поиске ни в папках , нигде нет запуска EA), по возможности обьясните как на линкс связать аккаунты стим и EA app

Anyone else experiencing this? I am unable to launch Rust after the latest update. It won't even get past the splash screen. Just says I lack required EAC. Not trying to join a server just trying to launch the game.

Hello,

I've recently been having issues with frequent crashes when running Deadlock on Linux. Originally I was on Mint 22.2, but switched over to Bazzite (KDE) in the past week for more dedicated Intel Arc support built in. Across both distros I've had the same problem where the game will crash with the "VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST" error message. From my understanding, it has something to do with my GPU hitting a certain point where it stops responding, but have been unable to pinpoint a specific or consistent root cause. This is the only game that I've noticed it giving me such a specific message, and I've internally tried different Proton layers (Experimental/GE/etc) as well as swapping between DX11 or Vulkan.

Any assistance with troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know if there's any other information I can provide that would be helpful.

Computer Specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
ASUS ROG STRIX B650e-i ITX Motherboard
32GB DDR5
GPU: Intel Arc B580

Bazzite (KDE)

Hey yall,

I am new to streaming and Linux mint. When I first played games like L4D it ran fine and later on became super laggy.

I downloaded Proton GE and got it to run fine. What I run into now is when I try to use OBS to stream the game will play for 15-25 minutes then freeze and I have to force it to close.

I am on a gaming laptop (ROG Zephyrus G14 2021, 8-core AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900HS CPU and GeForce RTX™ 3060 GPU) and I know I don't have the full power of a desktop. If any of yall have any info on how to configure OBS or Stream for better game play I would greatly appreciated!

for me as a console gamer when I wanted to play for the first time on Linux I had an issue with the controller, and I still do, and it's whenever I want to play I need to put the controller in pairing mode and connect to it each time like it's the first time, instead of just clicking on the turn on button, or I have to play with it plugged in.
