I note that the AMD website offers official .deb and .rpm installers. Whereas Nvidia justs offers a .run file with which I have no idea what I would do with anyways.

Yes yes, I'm aware that the correct way to install any of them is via whatever package manager you're using. But I assume the above does indicate some level of how much each respective manufacturer seems to care?

Hello,

I have a gaming laptop that can't run windows 11 so I am forced to move to Linux. I have always used windows and want to know a few things:

1. Is Linux good for gaming? Are all games supported, I use mostly Steam games, and VR games.
2. Which distro should I install, I have intel CPU and Nvidea GPU if it helps. I dont understand this part of Linux well!
3. I like to play stream the game in my quest 3 through Virtual desktop, but I heard it is unsupported on Linux, any other way to do it?

Thank you for your assistance, have a great day!

PS: Might be useful, so I put it here I use quest3 and the specs are Intel Core i7-7700HQ and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070

im playing genshin via bottles with soda 9.0.1

i noticed it often disconnects me from the game almost immediately once wifi is a bit bad, but it doesnt load or waits for connection to come back it just kicks me, on my w10 laptop and ipad with the same wifi it doesnt do that and if wifi is a bit bad it loads first

idk if thats a linux issue or not cuz EVERY other game that needs wifi, like wuwa works without ever disconnecting me

Hi all I hope it's ok to ask this question here!
Basically I am saving up for a new laptop, for both productivity and some low-mid tier gaming... I don't need a monster machine! I'm sick of Windows and want Linux to be my daily driver, although I am gonna need a dual boot setup for some (music) software. I've done a bit of preliminary research looking for AMD based laptops but it seems they are barely a thing? At least where GPU is concerned anyway. Does anyone here have any recommendations? I've not bought new hardware in a while and haven't kept up with what's good, and finding trustworthy review/recommendation websites these days is a nightmare. Should I just give up on having an AMD machine and get an Nvidia one? Does it actually matter that much? (I heard AMD drivers are way better on Linux).
Any input appreciated, even if it's just to point me at a specific brand/retailer. Also for reference I am looking to spend about £1000 but could maybe a go a bit higher if it's worth it...

Hi all,

I had a lot of issues getting RDR2 to work, but after many hours I actually got it to start, so I'm just sharing what turned out to be my issue here for posterity.

I initially used Lutris, but then moved to running umu-run directly to try and get some debug logs and figure out why it wasn't starting. So after figuring out I could add PROTON_LOG=1 PROTON_LOG_DIR="$HOME" to get some logs, I came up with a command like this that still failed:

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Games/umu/rdr2" PROTON_LOG=1 PROTON_LOG_DIR="$HOME" PROTONPATH="/home/foo/.local/share/lutris/runners/proton/GE-Proton10-15/" UMU_LOG=debug PROTON_VERB=waitforexitandrun umu-run /disk/lutris/RDR2/Launcher.exe

I then looked in my home directory and found steam-0.log which contained lines like:

6243.811:014c:0150:err:module:import_dll Library vulkan-1.dll (which is needed by L"S:\\lutris\\RDR2\\amd_ags_x64.dll") not found 6243.883:014c:0150:err:module:import_dll Library vulkan-1.dll (which is needed by L"S:\\lutris\\RDR2\\ffx_fsr2_api_vk_x64.dll") not found

So, it finally turned out that if I added WINEDLLOVERRIDES="vulkan-1=b" ("b" for built-in) as an env variable, it forces Wine to use the built-in vulkan-1.dll which is some kind of forwarder to the host libvulkan.so.1, which exist because I installed them via apt.

So as I understand it:

• The game asks for vulkan-1.dll
• For some reason, Wine tries native, which is missing
• WINEDLLOVERRIDES forces it to use winevulkan.
• winevulkan forwards to libvulkan.so.1

So the final working command was:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="vulkan-1=b" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Games/umu/rdr2" PROTON_LOG=1 PROTON_LOG_DIR="$HOME" PROTONPATH="/home/foo/.local/share/lutris/runners/proton/GE-Proton10-15/" UMU_LOG=debug PROTON_VERB=waitforexitandrun umu-run /disk/lutris/RDR2/Launcher.exe

Hopefully this helps someone.

edit: the Lutris equivalent for this override is to use Lutris "Runner Options", "DLL overrides" and then add key vulkan-1 with value b

I previously posted about my pokemon save backup. I've tweaked and improved it (with some AI assistance). and wanted to share in case anyone want to use it themselves.

Link: https://github.com/Bl1ndBeholder/dotfiles/blob/main/scripts/pokemon-backup

• Save in ~/.local/bin
• chmod +x pokemon-backup

How it works:

• The pokemon save is copied from it's default path to my save-backup directory, in the format of ddmmyyyyhhmm.sav
• EG: ~/Documents/Pokemon/save-backup/emerald/210920251530.sav
• if no change has been made to the save file since the script was last ran, nothing is copied (This prevents duplicate save backups)
• my save-backup directory is the pushed to github
• Backs up saves for these emulators. mGBA, melonDS, Dolphin-emu and Azahar
• Gives me backups for generation 1-7 (I may add the switch games at a later date, but no plans of replaying them yet).

Anyone is free to use my script (If there are any avid pokemon/emulator fans here). just bear in mind, this script is taylored to my file system, you may have to tweak the script to match yours, or move your files around to match the script.

Anyone is free to use my pokemon-saves repository - it could be ideal for content creators who need a snapshot of a specific game section.

please note for mGBA and melonDS, the save file must match the rom name. EG: if you have Pokemon-Emerald.gba your save needs to be named Pokemon-Emerald.sav

For 3DS, the save must be placed in the game's save path. and must be re-named "main

I'm really happy with this result.

I love Linux but a missing feature I have is the simplicity of mass modding a game by adding a collection of mods from Nexus mods. Is this even possible? I was told my by distros (bazzite) documentation to use steam tinker launch but I haven't found a good tutorial for it and tried following the GitHub but haven't figured it out.

It beats being on windows but it is missed how easy it was to mod certain games. I know theyre making a unofficial beta vortex manager on Linux looking forward to it.

I've been encountering a prefix corruption issue recently where the display/render region is 1/4 of the screen width. This output region is then centered and surrounded by blackness. This happens even if the game's rendering in DesktopResolution. On certain games, the displayed region shows the everything in full while in others, it only shows the top left region of the output cropped.

The only solution I've found so far it to create a new prefix. Does anyone have clues as to what's going on?

This is on the latest proton-ge and not using proton. Once the prefix corrupt, only some titles exhibit this issue. I've confirmed this on multiple wayland compositors through xwayland and I'm not using gamescope. PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND doesn't seem to help.

Not launcher (Modrinth AT Launcher or prism) I just want something that works on linux since lunar and Badlion just kinda suck on Linux (Atleast for me.) so any good clients?

For the past two days (and without having updated anything), my PS4 controller has not been working in Proton games, while in native games such as Silksong it works if I disable Steam Input.

I have tried changing the Proton version and deleting configuration files that might be corrupted. The controller works fine in games outside of Steam.

Does anyone know why this might be happening? Thank you very much!

Hi fellow linux gamers,

Since Wine's last update yesterday, I can no longer play The Division 2. Any thoughts?

The game starts, sound is OK. Even the UBI overlay works fine but all I do do is stare at that white screen.

Cheers,

So I've found a lot of threads on here basically saying that getting the Steam version of this running in Linux is pretty much impossible and you're better off pirating it.

I managed to actually get the launcher to run. I can get to the menu to select which game I want. However, when I try to play ME1 it throws an error saying something is wrong with my game and please reinstall. ME2 seems to work. I did not try ME3. I have WINEDLLOVERRIDES=openal32=b %command% launch options configured.

Does anyone know a way around this or am I really better off running a pirated version of it?

EDIT: ME3 does work.
