hey everyone im not new to linux i have been using it for 2 years but the issue i have been distro hopping lately so i was using ubuntu first then garuda and i was hopping back and forth but i got tired of that and i asked some of you which distro to go to

some people recommended bazzite and it's great for gamers but im more kind of developer and i want to tweak and customize some things in my device but bazzite didn't let me do it

note that i also play some steam games and do some codding

so the question now should i go to debian or fedora?

Hi there,

I'll put this out there for everyone that might stumble upon this, I specficially had this error with DirectX installing for Arma 3 on EndeavourOS.

Check htop and search for the prerequisite, in my case it was DirectX and the installer is located at

.../steamapps/common/Steamworks\ Shared/_CommonRedist/DirectX/Jun2010/DXSETUP.exe

so the command for Arma 3 would then be

"WINEPREFIX="/media/games/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/107410/pfx" proton /media/games/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Steamworks\ Shared/_CommonRedist/DirectX/Jun2010/DXSETUP.exe"

install this manually and then continue from there.

Im experimenting with my hacked switch and installed linux on it with the hope of at least some games working. This is what shows up when trying to run steam. The exact distro is Ubuntu noble.

I decided to switch from i3 to sway since it seems to be a fairly mature Wayland WM/compositor (I didn't want to use KDE/GNOME and I had explicit sync/VRR issues on Hyprland, worse than the ones I'm about to describe).

So far I thought it was going well, I don't play a lot of games other than ZZZ right now and VRR seemed to be working well there. But then I tried playing Honkai Star Rail (which has a 60fps cap you can't remove) and it felt choppy even for 60fps. Opened my monitor's OSD, and the refresh rate just stays at 100hz (my monitor's max rate), despite VRR range starting as low as 48hz. Booted into i3 again, no issues there, the monitor drops it to 60.

I tried installing the LTS kernel and experimented with some other games on Sway and it looks like VRR only works okay when it's somewhere in 70~100fps range, which is exactly how my PC performs in ZZZ. And somehow adding any kind of fps cap (if the game can maintain the capped FPS consistently) makes it either stay at its max again or chaotically jump from the cap to 100 which feels even worse.

I'm using an RX 5700 GPU and a Cooler Master GA271 monitor, software-wise: Arch (6.6 LTS, 6.12) and Sway 1.10. Running games through Steam with Proton. I made sure to add include @/sysconfdir@/sway/config.d/* to sway's config, as games ran like slideshows before adding it.

So, is there some tweak to solve it? I really want to drop X already but small-ish issues like this one are stopping me.

Basically I bought a Steam Deck to get back into gaming after about 20 years without a console. I love it and want to step up into a PC. Trouble is I dont know much. I know Id like the option to dual boot for a few windows only titles, but overall love the bloat free life that Steam OS brings. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and build it myself. Don't need the very best of the best, but I am not looking for a budget build either. Thanks in advance for any input.

hiya!

I installed recently GTA V on my machine, it works, but far away from ideal.

At first, I need to run it several times due to "connection to R* library" error. After when I able to play, sound on intro stutters and disappear after a moment causing lack of sound during whole session. I tried to finish first mission where Franklin and Lamar have a car race. But no, some textures are not loading correctly and in a some moment of driving, game completely hangs up forcing me to exit game.

How I can fix these issues? I tried PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 for a probe of restoring audio but audio still disappear.

I don't have any ideas how to fix it. I use Proton Experimental and provided launch arguments: PROTON_BATTLEYE_RUNTIME="$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton BattlEye Runtime/" DXVK_ASYNC=1 %command%

My processor is Intel Celeron G4930 (I would replace this to i5-9600KF on christmas) and graphic card is MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GAMING X. Everything is working under Arch Linux with KDE 6.2 (X11)

It's maybe caused by weak processor? Or just I need to provide some more parameters to launch arguments making Proton able to handle game correctly?

Thank you for all responses/tries of helping me.

Much loves. 💖

Hi I have a problem with certain games constantly validating on startup causing me to have to build the shader cache every time I start the game (which takes so damn long).

It only happens with certain games on my external SSD.

CS2 and HL2 seem to validate every time I turn on my pc and open steam to start playing I always have to rebuild the shadercache too which is frustrating on CS2 it takes about 30 minutes.

Shouldn't shadercache only be rebuilded when the game updates? (I could be wrong).

How do I fix this as it is very annoying.

For a couple of days now and thru a bunch of protons, I've tried playing CS2 on steam on my Gentoo Laptop but still can't figure out a way, I've also looked at protondb.com but almost everybody says they're running native and also on EndevourOS and Mint and some PoP OS. When I try to run Native NO LAUNCH OPTIONS this pops up (First screenshot). Then with some launch options (-novid -nojoy -high -vulkan) NATIVE The game just fails to open giving this error:

Hey everyone !

I've created a simple script in order to launch gamescope in fullscreen, but I'm struggling with how to add it to Steam's PATH. It runs fine if I call ~/.local/bin/gamescope_launcher but I can't for the life of me find a way to call it simply using gamescope_launcher

#! /usr/bin/env bash WIDTH=$(xrandr | grep '*' | awk '{ print $1 }' | awk 'BEGIN { FS="x" } /1/ { print $1 }') HEIGHT=$(xrandr | grep '*' | awk '{ print $1 }' | awk 'BEGIN { FS="x" } /1/ { print $2 }') exec gamescope --output-width $WIDTH --output-height $HEIGHT --fullscreen "$@" submitted by /u/Tableuraz

Hello,
yesterday I downloaded Wine 9.0, winetricks and PlayOLinux. I want to play some games, like CS 1.6 (downloaded from csko.cz), Flatout 2 (functional crack from Windows 7) or JPOG. So my question is, what should I do now, if I want to play these games? Do I need to install more packages/extensions for Wine?
I am asking because my games are not installed on Windows C: partition. These games are installed on same drive as Windows and Linux, but different partition.

DISK_PARTITION/Program files/Games

Should I use Wine/PlayOnLinux to run these games, or I should install them again, now on Linux partition? But I also have installers on another disk drive, not same as Linux or Windows.

DISK_NAME/INSTALLERS/Games

Can you help me, what should I do?

Thanks

My OS: Linux Mint 22, dual-boot with Windows 11 Pro
