I'm trying to get my game to launch in my secondary monitor. Currently, I have a TV connected via HDMI cable to my laptop. Using the bash command I get this:

0: +*eDP-1 2560/320x1600/200+0+0 eDP-1

1: +HDMI-1-0 1920/160x1080/90+2560+0 HDMI-1-0

I'm currently using Linux Mint on a Lenovo Legion 5 with a RTX 5050

I have been unable to launch Counter Strike 2 on my Fedora 41 system recently. It was launching before, but haven't played in a while. I actually have been unable to launch any game off steam, but I was specifically using CS2 because supports linux natively. I tried using proton, updating my drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling CS2.

Any ideas would be great!

Here are my logs for when I try to launch CS2

When launching steam from terminal my logs are below

Long story short, I used Limo to set up some mods for Skyrim AE a few months ago and it worked great. Now I am trying to set up new mods, but somehow the Skyrim app and its deployers got removed, so now Limo crashes any time I try to import a mod. I don't see an option to add Skyrim back to Limo. The wiki says on first launch, I will get a dialog to import the game from Steam, but this is not the first launch. How can I trigger the add app dialog? I'm running Linux Mint. Where are the config files for Limo stored? If I nuke those, will Limo start as a new app?

I'm sorry if this is not a new issue, but I am fairly new to Linux. I recently put Zorin OS 18 (Gnome) on my laptop to test gaming on Linux (before I eventually move off Windows 11 permanently).

I've just installed Faugus Launcher so I could launch Battle.net games. Every time start World of Warcraft, it starts in full-screen windowed mode on a 1440p laptop monitor, but at a 1080p resolution. That has the effect of having the window off-centre, so when I try to adjust the resolution using the mouse, it's a process of slowly trying to move the mouse around so the buttons highlight and I know I'm in the right spot, then setting to windowed mode and then back to windowed fullscreen. After that it's fine ... but that's every time I start the game.

Any idea what's happening here? Is there a way to force WoW to open in full-screen?

Hello, like the title says, I'm searching a tool for overclocking my nvidia GPU on linux wayland, is there any graphical tools? I'm running a 3070ti on Manjaro Linux, thanks in advance.

I read people saying that Linux doesn't support kernel level anti cheat nor do I want it to. However Steam's store pages will have a warning if a game uses kernel level anti cheat. It doesn't specify this as being OS specific.

For example, Dayz works on Linux but the store page warns that it uses kernel level anti cheat. It doesn't say anything about only on Windows.

PC Specs • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X • Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE • Motherboard: Gigabyte B650M Gaming Plus WiFi (mATX, AM5) • RAM: 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30 (Teamgroup T-Create Expert) • Storage: 4TB Crucial P3 Plus NVMe SSD (PCIe 4.0) • GPU: Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB

I have most of these parts laying around, i just need to buy the graphics card and a case, i am wanting to get into Linux for a media console like pc for my living room. I have never done this before so im just asking what OS I should use (was thinking about steamOS not sure though) and I am wanting to know if the parts I have selected will be compatible. I have read that AMD graphics card are better for Linux due to compatibility

For clarity, it will be used to play games like RDR2, it takes two, far cry, etc. Dont want any other use than as a gaming console with more power.

I've tried searching and not found any posted way that has worked, I think because most hits were methods that I guess don't work on recent Proton versions. I want to add a navigation map side program to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 launching on Proton via Steam, but the maps app requires direct memory access to the game itself so I can't just run it separately like a standalone app. Nothing I've tried so far has worked.

Hi, and thanks for any help upfront.

I've very new to Linux, and have bitten the bullet and installed it.

I'm really struggling to get total war games running. Over 2 days, I've got warhammer 2 running once...

I've changed compatibility to proton experimental (this enabled the launcher to run as not even that loaded beforehand).

I can normally get to the main menu, but doesn't load, just freezes, or black screen then crashes.

Thanks

Hello, I just installed bazzite to my main pc today and upon launching OBS the regular windows features were missing like “twitch chat, activity, and set status/etc” there is no option also to add my own docks.

How do I fix this? I’m fairly new btw.

This is just a video demonstrating the difference in behavior between Steam Flatpak and Steam Snap when creating a .desktop file.

And no, the problem isn't just where the .desktop file is created; the command used would also need to be changed to call Steam Flatpak, because Flatpak doesn't act the same way as Snap, where the Snap's name can be the command that calls it.

I have a couple of questions about the steam machine, linux, ram, cpu and gpu (and the normal windows gaming subreddit does not seem the best place to discuss them).

I have a steamdeck, and it can use up to 4 gb vram from the normal ram. Now, with the steambox we have 8gb gram and 16 gb ram. Can linux allocate additional vram from those 16gb to help the gpu (reaching like 12 "virtual" gb vram)?

Also, in the sd we have zram (prior it was swap files) is the zram only used by ram, or can be used in the graphic card ram to have a coupls of extra gb?

I give you to install fedora and it won't let me and it happens to me with several Linux distributions

I am so glad that I made the switch. I really started to hate Microsoft/Windows and needed something more private. I've had so many issues in the past with Windows operating systems that I just gave up and swapped to Fedora KDE 43. I hope you guys enjoy my main monitor setup. :)

So I'm trying to run Warframe from steam on CachyOS (arch Linux) and I get these random crashes happening. I could be having a 2-3 hours session one day and get a crash within 3 minutes on the next day. Running on 5800x and rx6800 so I doubt specs are the issue.

Crashes are happening everywhere - free roam, missions and orbiter. Sometime it crashed from the launcher before I even start the game.

I've tried most of the solutions mentioned online:

1. Different proton versions (Valve, Experimental, CachyOS and GE) with a clean prefix (deleting the compdata\warframe folder)
2. Changing to DirectX12
3. Verifying and optimizing game files
4. Disabling shader cache
5. As per GE's notes, set vsync on (180hz)

I can't run DE's diagnostic log (I guess because of linux) and I've tried looking at the proton log but I can't make anything of it (and chatgpt wasn't very helpful either)

Sometimes I get the "An Error has Occurred" with changing error codes, latest being WAR-4877400, other times it just freezes or crash to desktop.

Anything I can do\check?
