I've been at this for more than two hours and it doesn't work. I installed overwatch 2 through steam on windows tried it and thought i'd get a little performance bump on linux, so I installed pop os 22 and updated it and every thing, and then installed steam and all the proton versions in the world ,and it still doesn't work, I press play, it says launching for a few seconds ,then crashes, it doesn't even show a window, and nothing appears on the system monitor. It worked fine on windows, I don't know what's going on, please help

Hi everyone, I am asking for help in regards to a laborious test I want to do this coming month. I am preparing a computer to benchmark multiple distributions exclusively for gaming. This means that, no matter if the distro focuses on gaming only and not work, I would still test it. The hardware that I will be testing is this:

MOBO: ROG MAXIMUS Z790 DARK HERO

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900K

RAM: DDR5 GSkill 5400 128GB

VID: NVIDIA RTX 5090

Driver: Latest of whatever the distro has available. For example right now is 580.95.05

Monitor: Aorus 4K 144Hz

Resolution Tested: 4K (3840x2160)

Storage: SN850x (8TB)

Common Partitions: 1 Partition with 2GB for UEFI, 1 Parition with 8GB for Swap

Each Distro will use 250GB and the current list is (Which is 2.75TB out of 8TB):

Ubuntu

Kubuntu

Debian

Mint

EndeavourOS

CachyOS

Arch Linux

Garuda Linux

Nobara

Fedora

Bazzite

Lastly there will be a 1TB partition for steam games that gets shared for all distributions for the test. The games to test are:

Cyberpunk

Spiderman Resmastered

Spiderman 2

Hitman World of Assassins

Hogwarts Legacy

Expedition 33

Doom Eternal

The Last of Us Part 2

A Plague Tale: Requiem

The Finals

God of War Ragnarok

Left 4 Dead 2

Stalker 2

Red Dead Redemption 2

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

If any of the games above have some FPS limiter that can affect results, and that can not be removed via the game console or a game parameter, then let me know to not use that specific game, but instead use another one, or even others recommended for the test.

I am writing this to get help with the following:

1. Any special configuration or optimization for a particular distro that I would need to know about to make sure and avoid that once I do the benchmark recording there is less likely a case that someone says "It had bad performance because X thing was not done". Basically to make sure the best, gaming oriented optimization is done to address most common cases about performance degradation because of something not configured.

2. Any other advices or suggestions to make sure a particular distribution has the best outlook, for example, should I use Wayland on it or XORG? Should I enable a particular app for gaming, is there any particular grub changes for that distro I am not well aware to enhance the FPS for it, etc..

3. Are there any other distros missing here that I considered good for gaming. Currently we have used around 3.8TB out of 8TB

4. Are there any additional games to be used for testing and benchmarking in Steam that I should be including?

5. Anything else needed to make sure a specific distro outperforms others (basically like cheering through the help you give me for that distro) to make sure that specific distro has better FPS overall. It is a benchmark competition after all. Let me best one win. I will also be documenting what was done for each one in order to see their performance improvement.

Thank you.

The built in proton/wine file explorer has several feautures which i find lacking and its really uncomfortable to use.

I'm using MO2 (Mod Organiser 2) and Open Folder Dialogs open Proton's/Wine's file explorer, but would it be possible to instead open Dolphin at that location?

For context i used Furglitch Mod Organiser Linux install script for Skyrim, I'm using KDE and on Arch with Cachy OS Bore Kernel

Is there any way to install games from Epic Games, Ubisoft, EA, ... using each launcher?
I have most my games on Steam, but I also have lots of games on those launchers.

I'm planning to completely switch from Windows to Linux using Omarchy and I want to be able to play all my games. Plus also looking for any programs that I can use with my elgato stream deck, elgato webcam, my hyperx quadcast s microphone, razer keyboard and mouse, ...

Any help is appreciated.

We're excited to share some great news with this community. After a lot of hard work, we're confident to say that the Linux version of our atmospheric puzzle game, Total Reload, is fully polished and ready!

What we've done:

• Thoroughly tested the game on every Linux distro I could get my hands on for testing %)
• Recently finished comprehensive gamepad support testing to ensure a smooth plug-and-play experience.

We need your help!
While we've tested internally, nothing beats real-world testing. We are looking for a few more Linux gamers to collect more feedback.

• If you'd like to help playtest, please leave a comment below.
• If you're just curious, it would help us immensely if you wishlist the game on Steam. This signals to Valve that Linux gamers are interested!

Release Date: November 7, 2025.

We'd love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you might have. Thanks for your support!

Forgive me for my ignorance, this is all new to me and so shall follow the posting guide to the best of my ability

Distro: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS
Kernel: Unknown how to verify
CPU: AMD Fx 8580
GPU: Nvidia GTX 970
GPU Driver: Unknown how to verify. Wasn't active on OS install, had to use the following to get improved results:
sudo nvidia-smi this failed so then we
sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
Restart Machine
sudo nvidia-smi
This showed the following

Result of command `sudo nvidia-smi` upon restart.

Mesa version: Unknown
Wayland/Xorg: Unknown
Gamecope: Unknown
VRR: Unknown
Window Manager/Desktop environment: Unknown

(This post is being composed from a different, windows machine so vulkaninfo / glxinfo / inxi -xxACGS are non functional here)

Lutris: Unknown if on default Pop!_OS install
Steam: Yes, Version, unknown
Heroic: Unknown if on default Pop!_OS install
Bottles: Unknown if on default Pop!_OS install
Wine/Proton: Unknown if on default Pop!_OS install

Were any of those Flatpaks, Snap packages or AppImages rather than packages native to your Linux distribution? Unsure what is being asked. Steam was installed using sudo apt install steam

Log - Proton: Instructions unclear as to how to obtain the desired result. No clue how to 'set the environment variable'

No game was ran from Terminal. Unsure of how to run Steam via terminal, and then...not use the GUI to launch the game?

No code to current share, or terminal outputs.

I'll be glad to gather the required info - if anyone has better direction as what to do/examine. I wrote this post because the initial problem was "Well...Pop!_OS didn't....do anything with...the GPU?"

I'm enjoying Linux - want to become more proficient so I take notes along the way for future me!

Thank you all for your help!

Who is using this controller on Bazzite? The product page says it has full Steam Input support out of the box, but I'm not getting any input from the paddles or extra shoulder buttons. Had a friend with a windows pc use the official software to bind the buttons to ABXY, but I'm still getting no input from them. The only other thing I think I can do is a firmware update...

Hi folks, I play Star Citizen on a Linux Mint system that doesn't quite have enough RAM to play it smoothly. Is there any way to boot up Mint but NOT load the desktop environment, and instead just run the game to save the extra gig or so of RAM? Can I write a bash script or do something with the grub menu to make that happen? Forgive me if this is a stupid question.

I went through hell getting KDE Neon working on my Lenovo LOQ without being a buggy mess. The full report is in the repo but in short use kernel 6.8 and the 570 driver along with some grub parameters. If you’re having trouble I put all of the bash commands I used in the readme. Figured it’s worth it if I help even one person. This would also be useful for people to post their system configuration when asking for information on Reddit or forums.

The script generates a timestamped report containing: * Operating System version and distribution info * Hardware information (system manufacturer, model) * Linux kernel version * Graphics information (nvidia-smi output, driver version, CUDA version) * Display protocol (X11/Wayland) * Package holds (pinned packages) * GRUB configuration * Current boot parameters * Modprobe configuration for NVIDIA * NVIDIA systemd service status

So trough a really good used deal I got an incredibly cheap RTX4070 ti super. But I am not that satisfied after 2-3 months. DX12 is a pain all along, the driver is meh and often leads to problems. So what do yoz guys say? Rx 9070 xt all along?

So I had an installation of Linux, where I could play Rust no problem. I used Proton 9.0-4 and had no issues.

My hard drive crashed and I reinstalled, but now I cannot play Rust anymore. Whenever I start it, it installs everything, I get a Rust popup which disappears and then a Unity popup comes and then the game exits. I have tried multiple versions of proton, but still am having the same problem.

My specs:

EndeavourOS

Ryzen 9 7900x

AMD Radeon 6700XT

32gb RAM

I am at a loss as to why it worked and now suddenly it doesnt. I find someone else had a problem on this sub but solved it by using another version of proton. None of mine seem to work.

Hello fellow Linux gamers! I’ve wondered if one of you tried to play BF6 using the rather new Winboat “VM” system. I’m curious if it’s possible since with some tinkering it’s possible to use secure boot with Linux (to my knowledge)

Thanks in advance and have a great day! :)

Fedora 42. Using any of the proton runners. Only way to stop it is with a hard system reset. Note that bnet runs without issue under Faugus. Problem occurs when attempting to actually launch WoW.

Using the same runners under Lutris or Steam launches WoW perfectly fine. Problem seems to be specific to Faugus.
