Hello. Around a month ago I have fully switched to linux on my desktop (which has 1070) and everything worked perfectly, but I have an old laptop (2nd gen I5, gt 525m and 8gb ram) running windows 10 that I use from time to time, mainly to do some office or browse the internet and sometime when I'm away from my desktop play warframe on it. The game runs fine on the lowest settings. My question is: if I switch it to arch how can I play warframe on this card which doesn't support vulkan? I've read online about proton sarek but decided to come here for info before I spend the time with the laptop.

Hi all! Over the course of a couple of years I gathered together links to cool PC ports, decompilations, mods and other things suggested by visitors to various subs, mainly r/SteamDeck. After a while the list became too much to maintain here on Reddit, so I put together this little site. I usually throw up a monthly update over on r/SteamDeck and the mods here have told me it's fine to do the same here.

Since the last post, I've added images to go with each link to make it a bit more visually appealing and also make it a little easier to navigate.

I have also added a new section for English translation patches for people who want to try games they otherwise couldn't.

There's been a couple of cool additions to the pile in June as well, not least the native PC port of Mario Kart 64. Looking forward to seeing what mods come along for that down the line.

If anyone has any suggestions for any of the categories they would like to see added, please let me know in the comments!

Enjoy!

So Ubuntu perform well and yeah in this title we achieved 41 fps and it was playable and i didn't notice any input lag also frametime wasn't that bad!

Hello I use Bazzite.

all games on the picture will n't launch except for "Nunholy" which acually support Linux. So I think the probelm is with Proton? I tried Proton 9, expermintal, Hotfix.. but all the same the games will not launch...

Title is the main question.

I am interested in trying to sandbox my games, as many games older games eventually stop getting updates and could thus have security vulnerabilities.

I may look into something like firejail at some point, but in the short term it seems easier to just install and run my games as a separate (non-sudo) user. So my question is - how effective is this strategy to sandbox games and isolate them from my private files (e.g., compared to other solutions like firejail). Also, would it open up security vulnerabilities if I opened up the x server on my own user and allowed the games (run by a separate user) to connect?

I know for steam games many recommend just using the flatpak - but I have 2 reasons I'd rather not. First, not everything can easily be found in flatpaks (e.g., plutonium). Second, I've been dabbling in NixOS and it would be nice to use native system packages so that I can continue to install things mostly declaratively.

greetins r/linux_gaming, i come here to ask for help fixing an issue i have had for a while now, when playing video games on steam and using proton (specifically proton hotfix) some keyboard keys are broken, most notably the key 2 (or é) does not work, i am on an AZERTY keyboard and the fixes i looked around online were not working, i would like to know if anyone has a fix or any recomendations to solve this issue, thank you for your help!

I was trying to install Lies of P on my fedora 42 on lutris using wine but there is an isdone.dll error while unpacking/installation of the game.

any solution on how go to solve this Please help.

Specs 16 GB ram nvidia rtx 2030 Fedora 42 kernel - 6.15.4-200.fc42.x86_64 wine version - wine-ge-8-26-x86_64

Do cracked Games work on Linux? If not, is there a way to make them work?

hello everyone I got myself simpleplanes on steam summer sale, I know it is about to die and simpleplanes 2 is about to be out but I couldn't wait, it works extremely well under proton hotfix with no configuration! that's not the issue, but then I wanted to pair my thrustmaster HOTAS set with t16000m and TWCS throttle, the game doesn't see them, and digging more into steam settings I've noticed steam doesn't even see them, I've tried turning on and off a lot of controller support settings that chatgpt told me to change but they did nothing, also chatgpt told me to open a wine/proton control panel with a command that I don't remember (mods please don't remove my post I just have fish memory I know this is a low-effort request but I'm trying my best) and then under that control panel proton also didn't see my hotas devices, I know they are supported kernel-wide because I can bind them to war thunder (native version) and they work perfectly with no issues at all, also after digging the internet for almost 2 hours while punching myself because I was so damn bored, I also found almost nothing, I am on pop!_os 22.04 LTS,

TL;DR

steam doesn't see my HOTAS

Hi guys. I was gifted RDR2 on steam and I wanted to play it there but after installing the game it prompts about installing Rockstar launcher and other stuff like Epic API iirc.

I would rather just not install all that, you feel me? I like keeping my installation as clean as possible (possibly an OCD thing).

Is there a way to play the game without the additional launcher? If not, how can I remove all the bloat once I finish the game?

I have a desktop I build some three years ago that actually does not need upgrading but I may do it anyway...

Motherboard: MSI B550-A PRO
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
GPU: Radeon RX 6700XT
RAM: 4x16GiB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200MHz

I am going to get a bare bone desktop I will use two of the above RAM sticks.

I don't really want to sell this hardware for scrap just because it's a few years old, so the optimal solution is to push the boundary of the platform.

As for the GPU, I am thinking about getting the Radeon RX 9070XT. Currently (today is 2 July) Amazon IE has the following:

• Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G Graphics Card - 16GB GDDR6, 256bit, PCI-E 5.0, 3060 MHz Core Clock, 2 x DisplayPort, 2 x HDMI, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC-16GD at €789.59 (delivery 16-18 September)
• Sapphire NITRO+ AMD RADEON™ RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16GB DUAL HDMI/DUAL DP at €849.11 (delivery 11 - 12 September)

As for the CPU, I could go with the one of the three below:

• AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D Retail - (AM4/8 Core/3.0GHz/100MB/105W) at €235.67 (delivery 12 July)
• AMD Ryzen 7 5800X at €161.92 (delivery 3 July)
• AMD Ryzen 9 5950X Processor (16C/32T, 72MB Cache, Up to 4.9 GHz Max Boost) at €287.29 (delivery 4 July)

Do I need 16C/32T? No! I am pretty sure the 8C/16T fro the 5700X3D is WAY MORE than enough.But twice the cores and threads for €50? Is it worth? I know - lots more heat and I may have to upgrade my cooling solution to an AIO... But greed...

Other the evident technical stats, is the beefier CPU worth?

Mecha Break just launched, and just like in the 2nd beta, Steam Deck hardware seems to be whitelisted, while other Linux machines are locked out. The launcher will open, but the game won't open upon pressing play.

There is a single commenter on the Steam discussions who claims that it launches and plays fine, but nothing else.

I've been working on this game for a couple months, and just released the 4th alpha version:

Dealer's Choice

Online Multiplayer Stud and Draw Poker, where the deal rotates and each new game allows a different player to select the variant.

Hello again everyone!

Last week I posted about my new package on the AUR, proton-shim, well do I have great news for you all.

I’ve taken in the feedback that was posted, had some extra ideas, and added many new features to proton-shim!

previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1lj9c8b/easily_run_exe_bat_and_other_modding_tools_in/

TL;DR: Proton-Shim lets you launch executables via Proton with AppID handling, desktop integration, and wrapper generation.

Proton-Shim is a lightweight shell tool that lets you:
Run Windows executables (mods, mod managers, utilities) through Proton easily, with correct environment setup and AppID handling.
Create .desktop files or wrapper scripts for these executables, allowing them to be launched in any way you please.
Pass arguments, control AppIDs, and run non-Steam games/tools without fuss.

It’s designed for modders and tinkerers who want Proton’s benefits without manually messing with environment variables, launch options, or Proton paths each time.

• .desktop file generation:
  • You can now use flags in the terminal to generate desktop files for friendly re-use of common executables
  • .desktop files can either be installed into your applications folder, so they can be accessed through your start menu, or in the working directory where you ran the proton-shim command
  • uses proton directly in the desktop file, not proton-shim, so proton-shim can be uninstalled and the desktop files should still work
• wrapper script generation:
  • prefer to run a .sh file instead of a .desktop file? We can generate those too!
  • easier to edit or automate than .desktop files
  • Wrapper scripts use proton directly, not proton-shim, same benefits as desktop files in that regards
• search appid by game name:
  • You can now type either an appid or game name to launch your executables with, game names are converted to the appropriate appid, if multiple names match you are prompted to pick one
• [appid|gameName] is now entered after the flags (but before -- if present)
• --dry-run
  • stops the command from being executed
  • still generates wrapper and desktop files if those options are present
• -- arbitrary executable args
  • Now able to pass in args for the executable, everything after -- is directly passed to the executable
• SIGINT logic - ctrl+c will cleanly exit immediately

also several bug-fixes. This utility is now verified with tests, while some bugs may trickle through, the base standard for any release has a high minimum bar automatically applied now

If you’ve ever tried to:

• Launch Proton with a mod manager (e.g., ModEngine2) seamlessly.
• Use non-Steam modding tools (FO4Edit, MO2, etc.) under Proton.
• Add non-Steam games while maintaining consistent Proton environment setup.
• Simplify wrapper or shortcut creation for tools you frequently use.

Proton-Shim handles all of this, letting you focus on gaming and modding, not Proton setup.

Try it out: https://gitlab.com/Wisher/ProtonShim/-/releases

AUR (Arch users): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/proton-shim

I’d love feedback from the Linux gaming community:

• What workflows would you like to simplify under Proton?
• Any tools you want to integrate seamlessly?
• What features would make Proton-Shim more useful to you?

Thanks for your time, hope some people find this useful and, good luck gamers!

Hello everyone, I have a computer with the following configuration: Nvidia GTX 560, Xeon E5-2640 v4, and 8GB DDR4 RAM. I plan to play games on it, but the graphics card is very old. So, which version of Linux supports it properly?

I want to switch to linux, but I face the problem that Ubisoft Connect does not see steam and vice versa, comes to the absurdity that I in Jubisoft click to download steam it starts and then says that there is no steam....

My brains are not enough here came here. Tried to put the base destrebutiv Ubuntu and linux, not there not there could not “friend”

Russian language
Хочу перейти на линукс, но сталкиваюсь с проблемой что юбисофт конект не видит стим и наоборот, доходит до абсурда то что я в юбисофт нажимаю скачать стим он запускаеться и потом говорит что нету стим...

Моих мозгов не хватает вот пришел сюда. Пробывал ставить базоые дестребутивы Ubuntu и линукс, не там не там не смог "подружить"

Basically title. Using steam, MDK 2 HD game. Textures won't load and is basically unplayable with experimental proton. AMD GPU, bazzite, 4k res.

Any ideas?
