The Finals crashes after two matches
Hello recently i downloaded The Finals, despite reviews saying that it works well on linux i still needed to spend a while finding a Proton version that worked because it crashed when loading into a match. After finding a Proton version that worked i quickly discovered that the game would crash mid game in only two matches.

A couple of really stupid questions from an absolute Noobie
Hi Folks,
I am a complete beginner to Linux gaming (actually, almost all PC gaming) and only just installed Linux Mint this past winter. I've watched a lot of videos about Linux gaming and have a basic question about installing a game which I purchased on Steam. Right now, it's sitting in my Library on Steam. The next step is for me to install it on my PC.
Question 1 It is asking me in which directory I want to install it. Will the Linux operating system/file system "know" which directory to install the game, or will I have to specify the directory? If so, in which directory should I install the game?
Question 2 I am thinking of installing the game, FreeCiv. For Linux users, the version on the download site is an AppImage. How does one install an AppImage? (I am on Linux Mint, Cinnamon edition.) (This is one of the major things I am having to get used to on Linux: the many different ways there are to install programs. It's not like the old Windows world where one would just click on the installation file and off she went!)
Thank you for any assistance you provide.

Linux Steam/Proton - how to increase keyboard repeat rate?
Calling all Steam/Proton experts here. I have good repeat rate set using xset, but these settings do not make it into proton environment. On windows I used to tweak those with regedit.
Note I'm running battle.net launcher from steam, and launching SC2 from there. The whole question is basically about SC2 rapidfire on Linux.

Cannot get anything installed with Wine, have tried everything
I've been at this for days and nothing i'm trying is working, if anyone has any advice i would greatly appreciate it!
PC Details: distro │ Arch Linux x86_64
kernel │ Linux 6.15.7-arch1-1
kitty 0.42.2
shell │ bash 5.3.0
cpu │ AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (16) z
gpu | Radeon 9070xt
What I have tried so far:
Have tried both portproton and lutris both have the same issue with wine when installing games. Everything will download fine, but at the game setup/install stage wine hangs and i have to abort the install.
I have removed and reinstalled lutris, wine, winetricks, wine-mono, wine-gecko, dotnet48, 32bit dependencies etc.. multiple times.
I have tried installing the wine-staging-git and manually building.
I have downloaded specific versions of wine-mono and installed that specifically to a wineprfix, the installer did make some progress following this but ultimately crashed and again didnt work.
I am at my wits end with this, i can't play any of my games (cyberpunbk) on GOG, EA, ubisoft etc...
Steam works perfectly fine though.

Exceedingly poor performance in Warframe compared to windows, regardless of proton version i try
What it says on the tin, basically--been playing warframe a loooong time and on windows i get 100+ FPS smooth as silk regardless of the content i do, but under linux regardless of what version of proton (tried several normal and GE versions, tried the cachyOS version) or settings/configs ive tried, i get 40fps or less in regular content, and like 10-20 in any of the 1999 content, and it stutters pretty badly. nearly every other game ive tried has run perfectly fine and comparable to windows.
i have an RTX 3060, on arch with latest everything. ive set warframe to DX11 in the launcher settings, ive played with graphical settings and no matter what i try there is something fundamentally wrong that doesnt appear to effect anyone posting on protonDB or elsewhere

Heroic Launch says it needs the flatpak version of Mangohud, but there doesn't seem to be a flatpak version
Everywhere I go online "make sure to download the flatpak version." I go to the repo, not there. I go to flatghub, not there. I can find Mango Juice the front end. I can only find mangohud in the AUR repo and apparently that's not the right version.

DXVK-Sarek 1.11.0 "Red River" Released
Hi there!
I am happy to share my unofficial continuation of the 1.10.x branch designed to assist users still relying on the 1.10.x releases by backporting per game configurations, fixes and more: DXVK-Sarek
A ton of fixes have been added to the 1.11.0 release, that should make more games work out of the box, and if they dont work, feel free to create an issue on the repo. More info can be found on the release, and for a more easy installation you can use Proton-Plus.
Thanks for reading, share this with people that are stuck on the 1.10.x branch, hope this helps and GLHF.

Hii. Building a new PC this evening, need guidance on Linux build.
Hey all! Here is a photo with all parts in it. I've been sitting on them for 24 months but depression is a really killer.
Wanting to embrace the build now finally. Have a brand new thera 75v2 I put together as well.
Anyway which distro would y'all recommend for this build? I do gamin,g, a little streaming, coding for playdate, and lots of SDR stuff. I've used cubesdr I believe it is on Linux in the past. Overall I'm just worried about compatibility and stuff?
Thank you guys!

Does the Aurora Steam Deck tool work with Linux Mint?
I liked using Aurora trainers on my old windows PC and so far I have never gotten the to work on my new Linux system. I noticed CH released a Steam Deck tool (https://www.cheathappens.com/steamdecktool.asp), but it has a price tag. Before I put down money for it I want to know if anybody's tried it with Linux Mint and could tell me if it works.

Would using android as a medium to run Fortnite work?
Since they've done a similar thing with Sober for roblox, I wondered if the same could be possible for Fortnite?

Next-Gen GeForce NOW client for Linux
I would like to present you: GeForce Infinity (https://github.com/AstralVixen/GeForce-Infinity), which is a Linux client for GeForce NOW service which has native-like performance as it was originally made to address the lack of a GeForce NOW client on Linux. However keep in mind that it is an electron application so some features may be missing for now but we are working on them! (for example higher resolution support, surround sound system, etc)
GeForce Infinity adds lot of useful features like:
- 🚀 Native-like performance
- 💎 Modern SteamOS-like sidebar for controlling GeForce Infinity (Ctrl+I)
- 🌐 Discord Rich Presence
- 🎯 Autofocus when gaming rig is ready
- 🔔 Notifications when gaming rig is ready
- 👨🏻💻 Ability to change UserAgent if having issues with defaults
- 🎨 Ability to change theme colors of GeForce NOW
- 🔄 Ability to reload GeForce NOW without restarting application
Many more comming soon as:
- 🔑 Account switching
- 🎮 Automatic Game Startup
- 📊 FPS, Connection metrics inside GeForce Infinity
We are on Flathub, AUR, and we provide DEB, AppImage packages!!
Any contribution is welcome! We are trying to make gaming on Linux better :)
The project also has a website available!
Me the original developer and my contributor will be answering questions here too about this app! So feel free to ask anything!

Lutris + Flatseal
Hi, I’m new to Flatpak and I really need some help. I’m not sure which paths Lutris actually needs. I want to run Lutris sandboxed from my main system, but if I disable “All User Files” in Flatseal, Lutris won’t launch anything.
The first time I tried to launch a game in Lutris, a pop‑up appeared saying:
“The wine configuration in X:/… ”
I’ve never seen an X:/ drive before. Now, whenever I try to launch a game, I get errors like:
“Cannot get symbol u_charsToUChars from libicuuc”
It seems Lutris needs specific host paths, but I don’t know which ones. And I’m concerned that enabling “All User Files” defeats the whole point of secure sandboxing. Any advice on which permissions and paths I actually need?
I also tried enabling “All system libraries, executables, and static data,” and “All System Configurations” in Flatseal, but still no luck..

Ubuntu update 25.04 seems to have broken Steam
Hey, my STEAM on ubuntu 25.04 (installed from package steam-installer) just stopped launching proton games. I have opened steam via console, and i can see proton will launch game exe, but after like 1-2 minutes it will just end it.
I thought it is my problem only, but then I have found this https://askubuntu.com/questions/1553033/ubuntu-update-25-04-seems-to-have-broken-steam
