I am in need of some help.

I want to switch to linux but I don't know which distro would be good for gaming. I mostly use my PC for gaming and windows 11 is utter horse shit and windows 10 (the last good windows) is no longer supported. I HATE windows 11 with a burning passion and would like some pointer to a Linux distro that would be easy to transition to from windows

I don't know if it's needed but my specs are as followed

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 3.6G GHz

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580 8 GB VRAM

RAM: 16 GB DDR4 2400 MT/s

MOTHER BOARD: Asus prime A520M-K

I want to use an android emulator to play roblox with exploits.

I want an emulator that can run roblox good

I'm having trouble with the SteamVR dashboard, specifically the desktop interface and virtual keyboard. They're slow, laggy, and sometimes don't work at all.

The PCVR in general is a bit low-res for my taste, but I think that's just an ALVR settings issue on my part.

I think this might be an ALVR problem, but I don't know enough to know for sure.

When I'm in a game it's basically fine, but trying to interface with the desktop is barely usable. It's a shame there isn't a "restart steamVR" button in the SteamVR interface.

Ideally I'd be able to use this computer through the headset exclusively, no need for a physical monitor or peripherals. If anyone knows how to make that happen, in all ears.

I've made it over 40 hours into Control in Windows on GOG. I've since migrated to Linux and am currently running CachyOS. I haven't played Control in years but I never finished it and would hate to have to start over whenever I get around to finishing it.

I tried installing Control in Heroic in the hopes that it would simply have my GOG cloud saves there, since I'm pretty sure Heroic Games Launcher supports GOG cloud saves, however it only gives me the option to start a new game.

I booted into Windows and used GOG Galaxy's built in feature to download my cloud saves for the game and ended up with a !Downloads folder, which I have copied into the corresponding folder in Control's wine prefix for Heroic Launcher, but it still only gives me the option to start a new game.

Does anyone know how to accomplish what I'm trying to do here? Is it even possible?

I have a Bazzite system I use for couch gaming with an rx580, and I'm thinking about using that card for something else. The only spare I have laying around is really nice but it's Nvidia, a GTX Titan Pascal. Will I have any issues swapping the cards, especially since my system is set to boot into game mode?

Hi you all! I have made a university project that kinda works. The project is a installer with GUI for linux using Qt, the project was made because I wanted to install reshade on Dark Souls Remastered and Far Cry (the first one) and you have all the manual setup to do. I know that some people like to flex on cp dgxi.dll steam/steamapps/common/game but it's nice to make stuff easier for everyone.

The project is still in early development state, it works but have only the basic functionalities and a nice GUI by now...

Repo: https://github.com/Ishidawg/reshade-installer-linux

I did not make a package (yet), tho.

I have over 1,200 hours playing Fo4 on Linux and recently decided to start a new play through. I used some new launch options and using the latest Proton-GE and the latest kernel to enable NTSYNC and at first everything seemed wonderful. The most buttery smooth 60 FPS with max settings when it always used to stutter before. Then came the problem. Loading screens are a crap shoot. Sometimes they are just black, sometimes they show, normal loading times for me are 3-5 seconds but now when the screen goes black and the indicator stops moving it can take 3-5 minutes, or more, or just not ever load at all with the game just hanging. The gameplay is AMAZINGLY smooth now, but every time I have to enter a door I have to quicksave first, or many times now like 7/8 times when I die the game just hangs and never loads again.

I have searched protondb and nothing there references issues like this. When the game is running normally load times are 3-5 seconds as I am running the game from an NVME drive. I want to keep the great performance which requires NTSYNC which needs a kernel above 6.14 and a Proton-GE version above 10-10.

I have seen references to the load accelerator mod but I don't think it can actually work under Proton because it needs to set processor affinity and I don't think that is an ability an application within WINE/Proton has the ability to do.

I have installed and successfully launched Forza Horizon 5 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, but I cannot get past the sign in. Forza just closes the dialog after successful credentials and says I need to sign in. MSFS 2024 shows a black window after entering successful credentials and if I drag my mouse I can see a message saying to use a different login method.

Stuck, not sure where to turn. Other non-Xbox games work just fine. I tried temporarily removing my authenticator, no difference. These were Steam purchases, not the MS Store versions. Ubuntu 24.04 and I've tried a bunch of different Proton versions including GE. Help!

I've been using Linux since Red Hat Linux 5.2. Linux is how I bring in my bread and butter. I've long discounted Linux as a viable gaming OS and just stuck to Windows as the path of least resistance. The TL;DR: is that I ended up wiping an older distro for reasons and installing CachyOS... There's only a single game in my library that doesn't work on Linux and that's Apex Legends (and we all know it works on Linux but EA sucks).

I'm actually annoyed now that I have to boot into Windows to play Apex. I'm trying to find another game to replace it at this point so I could just reclaim my windows partition.

Also, Valve, shout out to all the effort you've gone through to make Linux gaming viable.

Good playing ;)

I want to know if it's possible to run Powershell based scripts on Linux, so I can install mods that use these scripts (in this case Blood Coagulated for Blood Fresh Supply).

P.S.: Game installed with Lutris.

Changelog:

An entire overhaul was done on how prefix creation works. Prefixes are now created here ~/NaK/Prefixes, I am now doing it's a lot easier to manage. You now open the mod managers from the Launch MO2/Vortex file.

A "smart" nxm handler was also made, this way there is only one NXM handler and you can manage it from the NaK app now.

Starting work/support for a new mod manager called Unverum, along with a auto setup for the spore ModAPI manager in the future.

There is now a choice to choose where you NaK files/prefixes get stored, this can be found inside the settings.

Removal of simple game modding tab for right now. I need to overhaul this and make its process a lot more streamlined.

Added a FAQ page.

If you have any questions please let me know!

Sup!! My friend and I are making a game called BEERCRUSH where you gotta dash through weird worlds and chug beer to stay alive. It's uh, really strange. It's our first game on Steam and we're launching it on the 20th!! We're super excited!! It's made in Godot, and my friend used Linux throughout the whole process. As such it'll have native Linux support at launch!

Here's the Steam link if anyone is interested: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3912370/BEERCRUSH/

I installed Genshin Impact through the official launcher by adding the executable to Steam and everything works fine. The launcher opens and the game runs from it normally. However, the window appears cropped and the cursor is not aligned with where my mouse actually is.

Im using arch with kde plasma, help pls:(
