Hello, im new to linux I was just wondering if it would be possible to play online? I really want to switch due to windows 11 eating up my ram :)

Hello,

I've got a minor problem.

I'm running steam on Fedora 43 KDE, and when I click on links (like the one in this screenshot), it doesn't open the browser.

Steam is the RPM version, and I tried launching it through terminal to see if there were any logs when clicking on the link, but nothing.

As far as browsers go, I have firefox and chromium installed, with firefox set to default to open links

Hello, I tested both graphics cards under Bazzite and Mint. The problem is that they don't run at full wattage in any Steam game. Frumark works fine at 220 watts. On Steam, the wattage fluctuates between 90 and 140 watts in-game. The power settings in Bazzite are set to Performance. V-Sync is off, tearing is disabled, and PFS is not limited; everything is configured correctly in the BIOS. With Lact, I set the TDP to 220W. Full power is displayed in the game menu, but as soon as the game finishes loading, the wattage fluctuates again. This results in micro-stuttering. My current workaround is to set the details to low and the resolution below HD. I have the same problem with both graphics cards.

Does anyone have any ideas?

System:
AMD 550

I recently ran into a very weird issue with my setup, where all my racing games started to lag, even though my FPS would remain constantly high, and my steering wheel input would constantly cut out. I tried various different things, thinking that it was a performance issue, but it turns out that this issue only occurs when:
1) I use my PXN V99 steering wheel and,
2) I turn the wheel and press any pedal at the same time.

I tried to run the same games with only a keyboard attached to the computer and the lag was gone. I also tested the wheel with another PC running Windows and it was working perfectly fine there, so there must be a conflict with Bazzite and my wheel.

I found this launch command that seems to have fixed the lag/stuttering issue, but I also lost FFB:

PROTON_ENABLE_HIDRAW=1 SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_IGNORE_DEVICES=11ff/3245 %command%

So, has anybody also encountered a similar issue? What should I try next?

I don't want to fire up Windows and install Steam and hunt down the table for CheatEngine just to beat The Last Judge in Silksong.

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D

GPU: Radeon RX 7900 XT

Motherboard: X570 AORUS Master

I recently installed Bazzite on my PC and for some reason CS2 and only CS2 is using ~30% of the GPU, I'm getting 40-60 fps in game and have tried using LACT to set performance to highest clocks. Anyone know a fix?

I don't know where to go about this. I recently installed Sims 4 from Steam since I got a new Linux laptop.

I only have a couple packs that I just bought on the EA but my game can't even run and won't stop crashing now, I thought it was my mods so I removed all of them and deleted and reinstalled my game, but it still can barely run and won't stop crashing.

I need to remove some of my dlc but I can't because every time I try the small EA app that comes with the steam game just immediately adds them again. I can't change it in the settings because it's not the full EA app so you can't. But I also can't install the full EA app to Linux since Lutris won't work no matter how many tutorials I watch or how many times I reinstall it. Is there anything I can do?

Hey, i was wanting to play rust on my computer and I recently switched, I am using Debian and have the EAC runtime installed, kept getting a nullclient error, dont know what's causing it but some help would be appreciated

I have 3 slots available. We have games like Subnautica, Schedule, Raft, Terraria, and Ark Survival by Xhile.

I don't want to force protons because it gives me worse performance; if there's another solution besides forcing protons, I'd appreciate it.

i recently began wanting to switch to linux because microsoft is getting nosier and nosier and is pushing more and more copilot crap. i tried zorin os but i switched back because i would rarely actually use it. you can dualboot with windows, but since i only use my computer for gaming, i would always boot into windows, defeating the whole purpose of switching to linux. you can run steam on linux, but a) i'm not sure if steam msfs is compatible with linux, b) i highly doubt my flight stick would work, and c) i only own the ms store version. i really would not like to spend another $70 on a half-assed excuse for a game (excuse my french) and i would also like to keep my career mode data.

I'd rather the community pick for me

Hi everyone, I’m having a frustrating issue with Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered running on Fedora 43 via Heroic Games Launcher.

As soon as the game starts, the camera drifts straight to the sky. I’ve confirmed it’s not a hardware issue (no physical stick drift on other games or devices). My gamepad (Fantech Nova Pro) is being interpreted by the system as a PS4 DualShock 4 controller.

Technical details:

• OS: Fedora 43.
• Launcher: Heroic Games Launcher.
• Game: Spider-Man Remastered.
• Controller: Fantech (detected as PS4/DS4).

The Phenomenon: The camera goes up automatically. Interestingly, when I hold down L2, the camera moves back down, but as soon as I release it, it snaps back to the sky. It seems like the game is mixing up the trigger axis with the right stick vertical axis, or perhaps it's a conflict with the motion sensors/gyroscope being detected.

I've already tried some environment variables like SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_IGNORE_DEVICES without success. Any advice on how to force the game to ignore the gyro/touchpad or correctly map the axes in this setup?

So, today I built my first Linux gaming PC. I already have a relatively modern Windows PC that is plugged into my TV, and I use that for lots of games as well as watching shows.

However, I was recently given a whole bunch of parts, and I've been wanting to have a "desk" PC as well for games like old RTS and CRPG games that really don't work well for couch play on the TV.

The specs of my "new" PC are:

-i5-4690K

-16GB DDR3-1600

-RX 560 4GB

-500GB Samsung 850 Evo

-4K/60Hz monitor

I decided to run Ubuntu because I have been using Debian family distros for years on my laptop and servers so I figured it would be easy. I had originally thought about trying Bazzite but folks in another thread convinced me to just stick with what I knew.

Now I'm not a dipshit - I know that the RX 560 isn't going to be playing most games at 4K, but it works fine for regular home office stuff at 4K and I figured I could just render the games at 1080p (since I'm not really going for graphical fidelity here anyway). I was mostly wanting to play older and less demanding games anyway.

So I got it set up and installed Steam (from the Ubuntu software center so I suppose it's a snap). I didn't install much else that was relevant except for Vulkan-tools as part of my troubleshooting for this problem (and some other random stuff like btop and libreoffice).

The first game I tried to run was Disco Elysium. I know this is a more modern game but it's supposedly not very intensive so I figured it would run fine. This booted up and ran just fine, except that the performance was a bit stuttery. I turned on the Steam performance overlay and noticed that it was using all four gigabytes of my VRAM.

First, I thought that maybe there was an issue with the desktop being rendered at 4K (even though the game was 1080p), so I switched the desktop to 1080p and then this reduced in-game VRAM to around 3.6/4.0GB and it was smoother. But this still seemed very high so I decided to try a few more games.

Next I tried Gunpoint. If you're not familiar, this is a 2D pixel art game with very low system requirements. It ran just fine at 60 fps, but it was still using nearly 3GB of VRAM (at 1080p), which seemed bizarre to me.

Finally, I tried Alan Wake 1 (the original 2010 version, not the remaster). This launched just fine but it gave me a "your system doesn't meet the minimum requirements" message when I booted it up (which definitely isn't true). I forced it to run at 1080p and the lowest settings and when I got in-game it was unplayable with the overlay reporting nearly 6GB of VRAM trying to be used.

Now I KNOW FOR A FACT that the original version of Alan Wake 1 should not be unplayable on a 4GB VRAM card because I played it a decade ago on a GTX 970 at high settings and 1080p and I didn't have any VRAM-related issues.

Can anybody clue me in to what's going on here and give me a potential solution? I didn't install any AMD related stuff for the GPU because I was under the impression that the open-source mesa driver should be fine.

Switching distros is a totally valid option if you think that would fix it. I may try Bazzite after all.

Hi everyone, I was wondering what distro would be best to dual boot with a 40 series Nvidia card for gaming. I’m a complete noob to Linux, the only thing I know is some Nvidia cards can have some problems with some Linux distros. Please give your suggestions.

Boa noite, alguém poderia me ajudar a aumentar a velocidade de download da Steam, no Windows 11 chegava até +-350Mb, enquanto no Arch só chega em +-130Mb, eu segui os procedimentos abaixo e consegui chegar em +-230Mb, mas eu gostaria de poder voltar a antiga velocidade de download, se alguém souber como arrumar seria de grande ajuda.

O que eu fiz pra aumentar pra 230Mb:

I've been a debian user since 2019, and I don't understand the gaming distro that's been popping up lately. I mean, I can install wine, lutris, and nvidia drivers according to my distros wiki and it runs fine but not 100% error-free for all my games. Could anyone explain to me that this gaming-oriented distro might be better than a more "mainstream" distro? Thanks.

EDIT: Thanks for all the comments! But, I've been wondering that how do they get support if their distro's breaks? Because one single problem can have multiple solutions from different people and each solution might fix the problem but might break something else.

Bought DOOM TDA as a birthday present for me on Steam, and the game doesn't run as good as it runs on Windows. Currently in the low preset I'm getting between 30-40, when on Windows I got double the framerate. I know it might be a little whining from me, but playing an FPS on that framerate is not very optimal. My specs:

AMD Ryzen 5 5500

AMD RADEON RX 6600

24GB DDR4 3200MT

500W PSU

NVME 500GB (game is installed in there)

I've tried some commands that I've seen on ProtonDB, like gamemoderun and trying to change vulkan versions, but I somehow can't install AMDVLK no matter what.

Also, framegen is also broken. IDK why tho.

Switched to Linux after my Windows 11 install decided to shit itself. Been working extremely well and I'm honestly in love. No more microslop!
