Currently I play games that aren't on Steam (e.g. from GOG) but don't really work via wine alone by adding it to my steam library as an external game and selecting Proton Experimental as the compatibility tool. That works, however it is cumbersome and requires me to have Steam running to run the game (which depending on the game goes against memory constraints of my 15.4GB - I know, weird number, but that's what system monitor says I have - system). So I'd rather just run something like proton game.exe.

How do I install Proton Experimental (which I've found has the greatest compatibility of all proton versions in Steam) standalone on openSuSE Tumbleweed?

Should I run the native version of my games on Steam, or use Proton? If Proton, why should it be preferred?

i know that you can play minecraft bedrock edition on Linux by using an android emulator and the PE of MC. However, this method requires you to buy a copy of MC:PE on the google play store, and i want to play bedrock on the Microsoft account i have it already bought for as the only reason i need to play bedrock is to get the capes from bedrock events such as the yearn cape, and these work on java, but they can only be obtained on bedrock. Therefore, buying bedrock from google play store won't allow me to obtain it as it doesn't associate the same Microsoft account with the google account. Also, i don't want to pay for minecraft again. Is there a solution to this?

I have a PC with a 2 TB SSD which has two partitions: in one of them (1.7 TB) I have Bazzite installed and for the other (100 GB) I decided to install Windows.
I choose the 100 GB partition and the installation went ok. But now the PC boots directly to Windows and I don't see Bazzite in the UEFI settings.

ChatGPT told me that Windows probably "overrode the boot-loader" and to fix it I have to boot into a Linux based ISO. Is that conclusion ok? I have used ChatGPT before for issues on Linux but a few times got everything worse.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I hope you're having a great week! :)

I'm Tibor Udvari, a solo developer, and I'd like to showcase 4 months of changes in my roguelike deckbuilder, medieval city builder called HexLands!🙂 You can try it on Windows, Linux and macOS, although there's a queue right now. (but Discord members can skip it! 😉)
First, here's a quick summary of what I've been working on in my last three years:

• HexLands is a turn-based, roguelike city builder set on procedural medieval islands.
• Grow your empire and adapt to harsh environments!
• Customize your deck, manage your resources, complete quests, and synergize perks!
• How far will your empire reach?

So, what exactly changed since my last post? Well, first, I hit the three-year milestone... Huh, it's been a ride, I didn't expect it to take this long.😅 But I'm getting closer to the finish line, day by day.

Anyway, now you can end your turn instead of the previous "fluid turn system", so now it works just as it does in other deckbuilders. There is also a health system called "reputation", which you must take care of. Procedural quests appear every few turns, offering rewards or punishing unmet demands. Between levels, now you can trim your deck or recover reputation. The update also improves tutorials, settings, visual clarity, and a lot more. Hope you like the changes, let me know what you think. :) The next big update I'm working on is a UI Overhaul and a branching node map, similar to the one seen in Slay the Spire. I also added widescreen support and hopefully soon Steam Deck compatibility.

Oh, and recently I've created a simple promotional website for the game, feel free to check it out. :)

If you’d like to try it, know more, look at some GIFs, screenshots, just visit HexLands’ Steam page and of course... wishlist it in case you like what you see. 😃 You're also welcome to join our Discord server so we can shape the game together! :)

If you'd like to skip the playtest queue, just hit me up on Discord to get an instant access key! :)

And if you just don't care about Steam, you can just download it on Itch!

Thanks in advance for all the feedback and have a nice week! :) ^^
Tibor

I hv been using linux fr a long time. Had to switch to windows fr skool sometimes. I started playing sekiro recently on win. Later I switched back to linux but sekiro was running significantly worse. In windows I was able to run the game on med-high settings without any lags or input delays. Where in linux the game was lagging extremely bad in open regions, and the input delays were horrendous. No other game has given me this issue on linux all them ran slightly better or equal on linux(ex red dead redemption, cod modern warfare 1,2,3)

I run Arch with Hyprland and I'm running into a problem. Every time I launch the Minecraft Launcher I need to log into my Microsoft account. My password is not saved and snake ass Microsoft sends me an Email with a code I have to input every time. Gnome-keyring comes up often on the topic of password saving but will it keep me logged in or does it just autofill my password? What is the best solution for this problem? Thanks in advance!

I'm livid. Pre-ordered the game to play early. Was having some FSR issues (black screen when FSR FG is activated despite mesa-git compiled this morning) so decided to test out different Protons. Did: Proton Exp > GE > Proton Exp. Launcher picked that as "multiple activations" and locked me out so now I won't be able to play the game for 24 hours.

They had the same thing with Eternal. DO NOT change Proton versions more than two times if you get this game if you don't want to enjoy this screen for 24 hours. Writing to support about this during the Eternal days and explaining that there were no activations attempts and just changing Proton versions resolved in being answered that Proton/Linux is not supported. You just wait out the 24 hour ban to play your game that you paid for.

Also maybe as of now don't enable FSR FG as it leads to a black screen that I can't seem to find a way to revert back to FSR FG OFF.

P.S. as of writing this, they marked my support ticket as "Ticket closed as duplicate" and did not resolve it. Duplicate of what? This is why we push against the Denuvo cr@p. I paid for my game.

Hi, I've recently decided to share my text adventure game/game engine on github under GPLv3. Its meant to be a fully fleshed out rpg game inspired by old text adventure games and MUDs.

A lot still needs to be implemented, but so far the main things you can do:

• go <direction: north, west, east, south>
• enter
• leave
• observe
• take
• attack
• equip <item name, such as dagger>

From spawn you can go north and enter the cave to get a dagger and leave to go south west toward an abandoned mining site. That's where the most content is. The starting cave is when I had stopped working on the project due to college so certain things aren't finished. Feel free to explore it if you wish. The mining site will reveal a fair bit of the games story and the weaknesses of the main enemies. You will need to setup the files in eclipse or another ide that supports the project files. Not sure how you would set it up with just vim and java, but if you can feel free to do so. It uses jdk-23, so having openjdk-23 installed is a good idea.

Hello everyone, I am very new to linux gaming, so I am hoping to find some anwsers here.

I have tried to play minecraft today and I have a strange issue,

Whenever my mouse is connected wirelessly, the scrolling skips a hotbar slot every one scroll.

But when I connect it directly, then it works fine.

Is this issue well known, and if yes, is there a fix for it?

I apologize if I am too much of a "noob" right now.

Thanks in advance

Hey recently i shifted from arch to fedora 42 and everything else is going soo nice. I just have this one problem when I try to play the exact same game I used to play on arch with the exact proton settings and stuff and I have the nvidia drivers installed too. But idk why while playing out of nowhere the game lags so bad it feel like the screen froze, but after 5 to 10 mins it fixes on its own, I tried testing a few things it's not anything specific when my game lags it's not like it happens in combat or stuff it happens even when I am just walking, it's like it lags for a few minutes then works fine then it happens again. I used btop++ on the side to see if my gpu is being used or not and it is being used so I don't know what's going on here and how do I fix this. I don't feel like it's a fedora issue or a driver issue or hardware issue i think it's a game issue can anyone help me fix it ?

Now I know we haven't even breached full release yet, but I'm assuming there's a good number of folk playing the game early that use linux os, and I have a few questions:

1. Are the NVIDIA 576 drivers absolutely necessary, or can we still use the default 570 that comes with mint and other distros?

2. What's the best Proton to run with it? I'm assuming GE since that works with most games, but it's good to know.

3. How does the game run in general?

UPDATE: i just tried enabling resizable bar, it does seem to work

Hey guys, i have been having this issue for a couple of days now, i looked everywhere on the internet but nothing works.

Flatpack works, but i need to use the rpm version: from what i've read only the rpm version can access and write on other disks from the one i installed steam on. unfortunately, this is the version i've been having issues with.

I'm using a clean install of fedora 42, all the rpm repos are installed and enabled. my gpu is an arc b580 and i'm using a ryzen 5 2600.

Whenever i try to launch steam via the icon, nothing shows up, but it seems to be doing something in the background processes

If i run it via terminal, this is what shows up:

steam.sh[3837]: Running Steam on fedora 42 64-bit steam.sh[3837]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically setup.sh[3892]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date! steam.sh[3837]: Log already open steam.sh[3837]: Using supervisor /home/art/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/bin/steam-runtime-supervisor pv-verify[3916]: N: Verified "/home/art/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime-sniper/sniper_platform_3.0.20250210.116596/files" against "/home/art/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime-sniper/sniper_platform_3.0.20250210.116596/usr-mtree.txt.gz" successfully pv-verify[3916]: N: Verified "/home/art/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime-sniper" against "/home/art/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime-sniper/mtree.txt.gz" successfully steam.sh[3837]: Steam client's requirements are satisfied CProcessEnvironmentManager is ready, 6 preallocated environment variables.

(i don't know what that second gpu is, my cpu shouldn't have integrated graphics)

after that, it starts running this in a loop:

(i tried leaving it on for around 30 mins once, it was still running in this loop)

What i've already tried:

• installing first flatpack version, removed flatpack version, installed rpm version (for some people worked)
• tried __GL_CONSTANT_FRAME_RATE_HINT=3
• tried deleting/setting to false PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true and X-KDE-RunOnDiscreteGpu=true in steam.desktop

I'll update the list when i try something new.

Thanks in advance for the help! I know there's plenty of posts with this issue, but i couldn't find a fix that works for me.
