So I've seen this asked in the past, and I basically found some cool people to follow, but I was wondering if there's any recent streamers that use Linux to stream? Especially one's that either stream Linux specific-games, or podcast-focused ones?

I myself decided to switch to streaming on CachyOS from Windows and been learning along the way and mastering some tips and tricks, including using EasyEffects for audio sources and my mic.

Basically, just literally wondering if there's anyone else I should check out?

Can I play Genshin impact on the Linux Ubuntu without graphics card?? How to install?

I recently switched to linux for good and for some reason, steam download speeds fluctuate like crazy as seen in the picture. I have a 500 mbps internet connection and when I download games on windows through steam the speed is rock solid at around 60 MB/s, however on linux the speed can go from 60-63 MB/s all the way to like 5 for really no reason. My CPU doesn't even come close to being the issue (as in the decompression of the download) so I really can't put my finger on what the issue is. If anyone has relevant info please let me know. (Sorry if my English is bad)

Hi everyone.

I recently switched from Windows 10 to Fedora 42 KDE Desktop and I have an issue with some Steam games that don't launch.

I installed Steam from the RPM Fusion repo, not from Flathub.

Some games work fine, like Undertale, Civilization V, Slipstream and apps like Aseprite or Godot Engine. But others (and I fear most of my game library) don't, like Rocket League, Lethal Company, TES III Morrowind, Balatro, etc...

They actually launch but then stop by themselves without any error or crash report, so I have absolutely no clue what's wrong.

I tried using Proton-GE instead of Proton, I checked if some dependencies (vulkan, gcc, libSomething, libWhatever, etc...) were missing and all packages are already installed and up to date.

By looking at the compatibility tab in Steam's settings it looks like some options are missing, like enabling/disabling Steam Play or choosing Steam Linux Runtime. But when I look at my storage, all 3 versions of Steam Linux Runtime are installed.

The most confusing is that I play some of these games on Steam Deck and they work fine, like Balatro or Trackmania.

I made a screen capture so you can see exactly the problem.

I hope you can help me.

Hi, thank you to all of the players who took part in the previous round of testing.

In order to launch a native Linux build of my game on launch, I need a few more Linux users with different devices to download the game and confirm the it's working well.

I would really appreciate any help and add you to my game's credits.

If you are interested send me a dm or an email to pitchforksanddaggers@gmail.com and I’ll send you the key.

This is my game's page on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2762740/Pitchforks_and_Daggers/

Thank you!

In case anybody is still interested in (re)playing this little gem, Journey, I could not find info on this issue myself:

If you launch the game and rumble works, then good for you. If vibration stops working or never worked then keep reading; I found that as soon as you enter the controller config menu and change/save anything, rumble will stop working. This does not happen in MS Windows from my tests, and weirdly enough, although they share the same config file (Journey.cfg), seems like the rumble issue doesnt get triggered if you only change graphic settings.

Rumble fix: open the Journey.cfg file where the game config is stored (if you dont know where this file is located, check the game's PCGW link above), change Rumble="false" to Rumble="true", restart the game, pretty easy right? Well it took me several days to figure this out, I hope it saved you time!

Have a nice... journey.

Hey Linux gamers,

I’ve been working on a project Cyber Siege – a top-down shooter inspired by classics like The Chaos Engine. You can play it solo or in local co-op with up to 4 players, each controlling a combat mech.

The game runs natively on Linux.

We’ve just released the trailer, and there’s also a free playable demo available right now! We’ll also be part of Steam Next Fest soon. Any wishlist or feedback would mean the world.

Thanks a lot!

Estou querendo fazer uma migração de sistema, pois não aguento mais o win, não dá pra att pro win11, não aceita drivers, cheguei a testar o fedora silverblue por recomendação de um grande amigo, mas o fedora me apresentava um problema, em zonas de muitos players dava lag, tempo de resposta das ações do personagem atrasava, o que me obrigava a jogar solo a maior parte das vezes, voltei pro win só pra ter a ctz que era problema de configuração, dito isso, tem como a gente arrumar? tem outra variação do fedora que seja melhor que o silverblue? tipo o kinoite ou um dos atomics?

I have been wanting more and more to switch to Linux as having malware uh sorry windows installed is seeming less and less like the smart thing to do in the age of more and more digital surveillance I have seen that gaming is pretty well supported on Linux with some minor but fixable issues here and there but my biggest question is what about brand new games for example can I play bf6 on release?

No A.I. used at all in any way for the game, art, sfx, music or theme tune.

I am in the process of converting a Windows 10 PC (no official upgrade to Windows 11 possible) to Linux. Arch-based distributions have been recommended to me several times because of cutting-edge software. Now the question. Manjaro or Endeavor? The PC is mainly used for photo and video editing as well as for Office. Hardware is the following:

Asus H110M-A/M2 motherboard 16GB RAM NVIDIA Geforce 960 Intel i7-6700k.

What do you recommend?

Debian 13 on acer

hello I have an Acer Nitro 5 and I really want to install Debian 13 on it (specifically Debian 13 out of my stupidity), but they say it has problems with Nvidia. I was thinking of installing kde plasma, and the dependencies to play on steam. Taking into account that I have an i7 11ava, 32GB of ram and the RTX3050. and I have to leave a dual boot on another m.2 with win11 just to use the university's design software. Do you think the laptop supports it? I'm willing to sit down for a few hours to configure everything, but how cumbersome would it be?

I found out about Limo mod manager recently and wanted to use it for a non-Steam game that I still use Steam/Proton to launch with.

I've been unable to find the "Command" I need to use to launch the game using Proton/Steam for a non-Steam game.

I have Googled it but as is always the case - answers range from "Just use Lutris", "Just add the non-Steam game to Steam". None of which help- me with the command I need to use to launch my game with Proton.

I'm assuming it's a terminal command?

I can't seem to find anything about the launch command that goes into that Limo box for a non-Steam game. Can anyone help, please?

For a Steam game I added the command was xdg-open steam://rungameid/392110

How do I make VRR work in hyprland OR gamescope?

In hyprland VRR seems to be completely broken and does not match in any way the FPS shown by mangohud: https://streamable.com/i6ya89. It jumps constantly between 170 (max) and a few FPS above the FPS shown by mangohud. The monitor flickers constantly. I tried wit vrr=1 or 2.

In gamescope (shown in the video above, red number is the monitor FPS) it ALMOST works... but any mouse movement makes the monitor go to 170 fps, causing VRR flicker. I've seen reports of disabling hw cursor to avoid this... but no info about HOW to do that in gamescope, only in kwin.

Any clue?

Hi, I've been having a problem with Counter-Strike: Source. For a while now, when I open the game, all the system UI freezes, and I have to open a new TTY to restart my system. This only happens with that game, and I don't know why. Has anyone else had this problem?
