Sorry about asking a newbie question before trudging through the FAQs, but I felt I should ask as (1) I have an older PC and (2) I have a nonstandard (non-desktop) application in mind.

PC specs: AMD FX8350 / 32 GB RAM / GTX1650 4GB (so maybe it doesn't need the latest and greatest OS, just something that works. This PC will never get upgraded further)

Application: Console-style gaming on TV (HDMI, 1080p, 60 Hz, SDR). Streaming with the Steam app from newer gaming desktop over wifi. Compatibility with Steam controller joypads.

Many thanks for your suggestions!

Does anyone have the fix for the following ?

Battlefield 4 would stutter, every 3 to 4 seconds or so... and the stutters are jarring.

I know for a FACT, it has nothing to do with graphics or ping. My ping is pretty good.

I ruled out graphics, because in the shooting range, where this issue actually disappears, my fps is great despite ultra preset and 1080p.

This issue is only there when in a server.

Rog ally x Running BAZZITE... similar to steam OS. Using proton ge 10-15.

I have a suspicion it is 100% EA app doing some dumb shi in the background like writing logs to the disk or some other stuff. I just can't put my finger on it and even if I did, im not linux fluent enough to Experiment. Very recent to linux.

Someone's got me ?

Do someone has that kind of problem where my gamesir nova lite controllers not detecting in games,although it is detected in gamepad testers and jstest,with GE proton 10+ versions?Nine Sols,Hades,Rim world,didn't detect my controllers unless I downgrade it to GE proton 9.Also proton experimental also can't detect too.Currently running ubuntu 25.10 with nvidia drivers 575.

I remember on Windows 8 days looking at all my XP games that didn't work anymore. I felt sad, but ready for a bright new future. Well that's all well and good, but I want my games back thank you.

You gave them back. You kept windows alive. propped up in all it's ugly glory, like a zombie in a cage, zapped with enough current to make it jerk. Thank you. Proton is amazing. Lutris is amazing.

I can unreservedly recommend the 8bitdo Ultimate 2C for gaming on Linux as far as compatibility and build quality is concerned. The shape isn't for everyone, but I love it.

I had no idea whether to put this here or r/chromeos but i decided here. I get this stupid error every time i try to open Vinegar Roblox studio with Crostini gpu support enabled:

https://preview.redd.it/z2li7mdvpgnf1.png?width=473&format=png&auto=webp&s=a8fdc45826e02c174d340d64da9f99e6ab38f9d0

I have tried so many things, like factory resetting, force opening it in OpenGL, messing with some stuff in the file, but to no avail. The only way ive seen to get passed this was to disable Crostini GPU support, but the game litterally runs at 5FPS and is practically unusable. Roblox Studio was working perfectly fine until i changed the rendering thing into Vulkan, then 2 days later it stopped functioning entirely. I am really desperate for a fix, so if anyone knows anything it would help a ton ;-;

I use a Chromebook Plus, Acer model, 12th Gen intel, omnigul.

So I just got pleasantly surprised that Bloober Team's new game has a native Linux build.

Some GPU features are missing on my machine, so no upscaling right now, but it works plenty fine overall.

I'm a big proton proponent but it's still nice to see developers go out of their way to support Linux.

Hi everyone, so, as the title says, I cant use my pro controller wireless on Kubuntu 25.04 my kernel is 6.14.0-29-generic.

I can connect it via bluetooth without any problem and steam also recognice it via bluetooth but when I want to use it nothing happens, I have to plug it via usb so the controller starts working, any ideas?

Thanks!

I made a short comparison video and I though it might interest the owners of the RX 7800 XT. Cyberpunk 2077 tested with FSR 4.0.0, 4.0.2, 3.1.5, XeSS 2.0.2. 1440p, Ray Tracing, Frame Generation. With comparison charts. Recorded with OBS, so normally the results are 1 or 2 FPS lower than optimal. Tested on CachyOS (Linux 6.16.4-3-cachyos, Mesa 25.3.0-devel-git-12e36c8871, Proton Cashy-10.0-20250820-git-12e36c8871).

I followed this one guide to make it work but every single time games launch with an error message or they don’t launch at all. Seriously have no clue what am doing wrong. Tho honestly even steam itself feels very inconsistent just a very few small amount of my games seem to want to launch. And before someone asks I barely even play online games with anti cheat so that definitely ain’t the issue.

Hey can somebody give me a hint on what to do here bout that issues that i en counter in many games? There are games that work wonderful, but some games do have texture flickering n Popping,..stuff like that... I have a 7800x3d, 7900 xtx, x670, 32gb ram, using dual Boot, win12 n cachyOs KDE Plasma. Ive tried out bootin the games in lutris and in steam, .... Help please, D ont wanna give up on my great Linux experience! 🙌

I am making a SCP game where you can build and manage your very own site. You as the player takes on the role of a site directer/05 member ( I haven't decided yet) and build the site of your dreams, you can employee staff and get Research points, they can be used to upgrade things at your site and you can make class-d be your lab rat. My game will not have DRM (digital right management). At first my game will have scp-1025 and a few more. What do you think of my game idea. If you are interested I will give the link soon :).

Just curious as to whether anyone has been able to get this working with MANGOHUD.

I'm trying to monitor the updated frame rate but it's still reporting 60fps even when enabled.

Here's the log that's generated when NVPRESENT_LOG_LEVEL=4 which confirms that it's enabled:

Hola, tengo una laptop de hace 5 años (con un i3) y quiero instalar Linux. Nunca he usado ni instalado este sistema operativo. ¿Se pueden jugar juegos de Steam en Linux? Y si sí, ¿qué distribución me recomiendan?

Hello all: I’m planning on passing through a GPU to a VM. My host system is Fedora, and virtualization is turned on.

My current GPU is a 1030 RTX NVIDIA, and I plan on buying a second GPU to pass over to the VM.

My issue here is the software: I’ve heard that NVIDIA has developed anti-virtualization software that blocks NVIDIA drivers from working in KVM/QEMU.

On the other hand, there’s a great listing for a minimally used NVIDIA 3060 RTX for only $180.

What should I do in this situation? Should I be concerned about NVIDIA passing new updates that limit their drivers capability of running in KVMs?

My motherboard is: B550 Phantom Gaming 4 My CPU is: AMD Ryzen 5 3600x, 6 cores 12 threads

Recently, a friend of mine made the hop to Bazzite as per my recommendation, I was able to get him up and running on most of his games with the exception of Path of Exile 2. From from our troubleshooting it appears that the game keeps resetting the shader cache, we state this because on every reboot or big area transition he gets a massive performance hit (going 60ish into the 20s) and it stays like that for several minutes, but after a while performance settles. The problem is that upon game restart, or exiting and re entering said area, the same pattern reoccurs.

We had a similar problem on Overwatch, but it seems this was fixed by adding the following launch commands and switching to a GE Proton

We attempted the same fix on PoE2 but the problem still remains. I've searched on ProtonDB for potential fixes but I haven't found any.

Stuff we've tried:

1. Adding DXVK_ASYNC=1 : It seemed to have helped a bit, but we're unsure, possible placebo.
2. Several proton versions: Experimental, 9.x, GE 9 & 10 and latest cachy proton
3. Full game reinstall: Originally he was reusing is windows files on an NTFS drive, but we reinstalled it on a BTRFS NVME drive.
4. We've confirmed that the main GPU (1070ti) is being used, as opposed to the iGPU
5. Changing the in game settings to lowest, helps but still doesn't address the problem

Any ideas on how to fix it? Alternatively, is there any way to tell proton to chill down and use less resources for shader compilation? Please find the system specs below:

This not suppose to work but it does for me somehow. No random signal loss (black screens). How is it possible? There shouldn’t be a working Radeon driver with hdmi 2.1 support. 4K120Hz with VRR and HDR at the same time shouldn’t work. But it does.

I’m not complaining :) I’m very happy with that. Just curious how it’s possible.

no pun intended but the easiest way i can describe the sound is a pulsing sound. whenever i use the 5.1 profile in pulseaudio. i know my headset atleast supports 7.1 but is there anyway i can get this working.
