I started using Faugus Launcher as I needed a simple alternative to Steam in order to have my prefixes and save files in a folder that could be later recovered and restored via Ludusavi. My last (and only) issue is that Faugus Launcher prefix folder is not detected by Ludusavi (in my sd is home/deck/Faugus).

Anyone has been able to add the whole Faugus folder (instead of custom games in an individual basis) and could provide some help?

I thought id share it here as well just in case.

Didn't know this subreddit existed, otherwise I would have asked here directly.

I hope it helps someone.

Hi Linux Gamers,

We have a family laptop with Linux Mint. One of my children would like to play Minecraft and Roblox with friends who are on Apple and Android phones/tablets.

Do you have any recommendations for how to solve that?

Hi there folks.

I'm on Bazzite using GNOME.

I have DualSense and an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless controllers, but neither of them seem to work in-game at all. In order to make them work I have to use Proton-GE and the PROTON_USE_SDL=1 (or PROTON_PREFER_SDL=1) launch option. In that situation it works fine, but that means I have to do that for every game that I want to play with a controller. It also makes me feel like I'm just doing something wrong.

The weird thing is that Steam detects the controllers just fine. It works in Big Picture mode just fine, but in-game it refuses to work. I've tried wired and wireless connections, but it's all the same. I've tried enabling and disabling Steam input, but that doesn't matter either.

Has anyone run into this problem too? How do you fix this?

Hi! Since the latest update and the new Proton hotfix (which fixed the game not launching), I can't use FSR 4.1 anymore. Is this normal?

I am using these Steam launch options: ENABLE_LAYER_MESA_ANTI_LAG=1 PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1

PC Info:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT
• OS: CachyOS
• Kernel: 7.0.1-1-cachyos (64-bit)
• mesa: 2:26.0.5-4
  
• Proton: Proton Hotfix

I’ve been wanting to drop Windows for a long time, but I’ve found an issue in that I play some games that have kernel level anticheat (Riot Games games being a notorious example of that, which I admittedly indulge in.)

I’m wondering how duel booting would work in regards to this if I had my Windows OS for TPM 2.0 games, and Linux (not necessarily Bazzite) for everything else? Games and just an OS usable for everything else. YouTube, other entertainment, emulation, work, web surfing, etc.

Anybody specifically duel booting for a similar situation? I’d love some input. I don’t wanna have things break on me, so I feel the need to make a post and ask.

Thanks!

After my positive trial using my RTX 5090 FE I decided to give a try with my RX 9070 XT, paired this time, with my R7 9800 X3D, with a TDP limited to 65W.

The outcome is pretty convincing. The R7 9800 X3D allows to push to the RX 9070 XT to its limit, in contrary of the i5 12600K.

Frame Generation is not working apparently. Anyway FSR 4 Performance is working like a charm on this game!

It is a very good experience!

I switched to Linux (Kubuntu), couldn't have been more happier to move from Microslop after 20+ years

I've been wondering what apps support Linux platform? Like Virtual Desktop streamer and Classic app on steam, Pico, Oasis driver, Vive, etc.

I've had trouble installing ALVR and it was painful process and even then it couldn't work properly.

For some reason when I have multi frame gen enabled on darktide with my Nvidia card I get like "tearing" when I rotate the camera. Not your typical horizontal line tearing from vsync being off but assets seem to move at slightly different paces.

Has anyone been able to get it working 100% properly? DLSS performance, 4k, full screen.

Running through steam. Proton version doesn't seem to matter. cachyOS fully updated KDE. No weird launch options. 9800x3d CPU 5090 GPU cl26 32gb ram.

No other games experience this that I play. VRR is off on my 240hz screen as that caused tons of vrr flicker (maybe an HDMI thing?).

Hi r/linux_gaming,

Quick data post. I run a handheld gaming database (DeckAlly) that pulls benchmark data from SteamDeckHQ alongside Proton ratings, deal prices, and completion times. Pulled the performance data for 17 games tonight to see how FPS targets correlate with Proton tier:

90 fps — trivially easy on the hardware

• Balatro: 90 fps, 8h battery, Platinum, $12.74

60 fps — Platinum sweep (one Gold outlier)

• Celeste: 60 fps, 7.5h, Platinum, $4.99 (75% off)
• Hades: 60 fps, 5.5h, Platinum, $6.24 (75% off)
• Dead Cells: 60 fps, 6.5h, Platinum, $9.99 (60% off)
• Ghost Trick: 60 fps, 5h, Platinum, $9.89 (67% off)
• DREDGE: 60 fps, 3.5h, Platinum, $8.99 (64% off)
• SIGNALIS: 60 fps, 3h, Platinum, $13.98
• Buckshot Roulette: 60 fps, 4h, Platinum, $1.78
• Disco Elysium: 60 fps, 3.5h, Gold (minor config note), $7.99 (80% off)

40–50 fps — mid-range titles

• Firewatch: 40 fps, Platinum, $3.99 (80% off)
• Slime Rancher 2: 40 fps, Platinum, $25.82
• Resident Evil 2: 45 fps, 3h, Platinum, $36.39
• Persona 5 Royal: 50 fps, 4h, Platinum, $56.39

30 fps — GPU-limited AAA

• Resident Evil 4: 30 fps, 2.5h, Gold, $13.39 (67% off)
• God of War: 30 fps, 2.5h, Platinum, $19.99 (60% off)
• Stray: 30 fps, 3h, Platinum, $17.99
• Elden Ring: 30 fps, 2.5h, Gold, $52.79

Interesting pattern: Gold-rated titles cluster at 30 fps and the one 60 fps Gold (Disco Elysium) needs a one-time config tweak. Otherwise Platinum seems to track well with higher FPS ceilings. Not a hard rule — RE2 being Platinum at only 45 fps shows GPU limits matter more than Proton tier for heavier games.

so i use bazzite and il leave my pc on sometimes but if my pc is idol and isent runing anything it crases after like 10 min of inactivity and i have to do a hard reset everytime it happends its easy to avoid but idk if this is a major issue i need to fix if anyone can give me some info that would help out alot thx

Hey everyone. I'm dealing with a really annoying issue that I need help with.
I've been playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 on my PC. I'm using Arch with Hyprland, I have an RTX 3070 and a Ryzen 5 3600 with 16gb of ram.

What happens is when I start the game there's something like a 75% chance that it's gonna crash, some time between telling the computer to start the game, and when I actually load into the save. I often have to retry or fully reboot my computer multiple times before I can actually load into the game. The thing is, if I can successfully load into the game and it goes for a couple of seconds, it will play and run completely fine. I've played for many hours multiple times and never once has it crashed when I've gotten past the first few seconds of loading into a save, it's just a total crapshoot if it'll work at all when starting. I've tried a few different versions of Proton, including hotfix, experimental and GE but it's always the same issue. Does anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it?

Here are some log files I've gotten:

I've been running KUbuntu 25.10 for a few months, and I had Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 successfully running with GE-Proton 33. I just updated KUbuntu to 26.04 today; I tried running Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and it's failing with the error "Impossible to create DX12 device Error 8x80070057 (DXGI Unknown)". I tried updating GE-Proton to 34, but no luck. I tried switching it to use Proton Experimental, but no luck. Steam had also downloaded an update to its runtime library. I searched online, and Google recommended using the following for launch options:

VKD3D_CONFIG="enable_experimental_features" %command% -FastLaunch

However, MS FS 2024 is still failing with the same error. Does anyone have an idea on what I could try?

I have a strange performance drop in places with a lot of npc.
GPU load drops from 70-80% to 20-35%, CPU load increases from 25% to 40%, frame rate drops to 25-30 fps. All CPU cores are loaded evenly.

The problem does not depend on resolution and performance settings.
The problem practically does not exist in online mode with a large number of players.
The problem does not clearly depend on the driver version and has been observed for six months in a roughly identical state.

The behavior is similar to CPU bottleneck. But why does the CPU load stop at 40%?

Perhaps someone has encountered a similar problem in this or another game and knows the solution? Or at least can confirm that this is a manifestation of the CPU bottleneck.

I'm on Arch, I've installed xpadneo from AUR, and added myself to input group, yet my controller doesn't work on steam, it shows up, but steam doesn't recognize any inputs from my controller although rumble works. I'm using a Xbox One S controller.

hello is there a way to get frosty mod manager to actually install mods that i want to have for my game star wars battlefront? the mod manager works fine on proton ge but but actually installing mod it always get stuck and i have to close it is there a way to get it fixed?
