I’m putting together a new pc and I’ve really grown to despise windows over the past few years. Tired of the AI copilot and terrible optimization, and just not feeling like I have control over my own system. My issue with Linux tho is I’ve heard many games with strong anti-cheat’s don’t really enjoy Linux. I play a wide range of games, basically anything you can think of. I’m most worried about the online casual and competitive games I play with friends such as Valorant, Fortnite, and Genshin. But perhaps it may actually be a blessing in disguise if they don’t work on Linux. Either way I’d still like to be able to play massively multiplayer games that contain anti-cheat software with my friends. If anyone can point me in the direction of the good Linux operating systems that have the widest range of games that run natively on the system, that would be amazing. Not that i think it’ll make a difference, but my specs are a Ryzen 7 5800 XT and a 9060 XT, if that’ll play any role in this.

its a 256 gb ssd with nothing just linux and genshin on it. is there anything that i can do? im playing on linux because windows doesnt give playable fps(while linux gives 50 fps om medium)

so i either need a way to get good fps on windows or do something about the linux problem

i could just try to take out like 70gbs out of my main 512 ssd and use this ssd as games only but i dont really think its possible

Recent CachyOS adopter here. I just picked up Where Winds Meet and started playing and have started experiencing some weird issues. I am experiencing an issue where the game will lock up/crash, then won't boot back up. Turns out something is going wrong, and my whole partition seems to error out until I restart the PC.

I have a nvme drive (formatted as btrfs) mounted to /home/myUser/Storage and use that path for steam and lutris for my game installs. When I have a crash occur, I can't interact with the mounted location or the drive in general (I get an "unknown error 177 in Dolphin). When I open KDE Partition Manager, the drive shows drive, but the partition shows as 0B, and shows "No valid partition table was found on this device.

Looking for advice on troubleshooting and solving this issue.

Edit1: Here's a screenshot of Partition in erroneous state

Edit2: Here's a screenshot of the healthy partition after a reboot

i'm referring to this specific feature.

I heard about the multi-kernel technology in a diolinux video. It's kernal that can loads alongside the main kernel, who will only be used by the game when it is running.

Can this be a solution? Never heard anyone talking about it besides diolinux

It would be great if Valve could make linux a real trusted platform somehow, but without sacrificing privacy and control.

I want to install LMDE 6 on my computer, but I can't seem to find the drivers for my 4070. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all, as you can see in the video, mi G920 is not working properly on FS22/25, the pedals doesn't increase when are 50% pushed, and the steering wheel doesn't work when turning left.

I already tried to configure the env variables, even a registry to disable raw input, but not working for me.

Any tips?

Fedora 43, Heroic Games Launcher

Thx

Using winepulse (the default) and pipewire I had crackling in games which could either be very frequent or appear after half an hour or so, and these crackles weren't xruns. Changing quant or adding latency by the PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC argument as well as some other fixes made no difference, but with winealsa there are no crackles at all.

You can use WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winepulse.drv=d" argument, which will disable winepulse and make wine resort to using winealsa. Alternatively, use wine/protontricks with sound=alsa.

To check if it's working, run pw-top in the terminal and the game audio will look like "ALSA plug-in [wine64-preloader]". It's still going to use pipewire-pulse, so there is no functionality loss and you can still change quant in pipewire-pulse config.

I am running an Asus Vivobook GO 14/15 with a Ryzen 3 7320U integrated graphics and recently installed Fedora 43 KDE Plasma onto it. I installed an RPM version of Steam and installed all the required drivers but when I try to boot games like Project Zomboid, it just instantly crashes and nothing opens. I tried to downgrade my mesa drivers but even then it still doesn’t work. Does anyone have a fix for this?

I finally kicked my xboxes to the curb after gaming strictly on Linux for the past 2 years. Unfortunately I had to give up my controllers in order to get a mildly respectable cash payout for each console.

I did some testing and went through the return process a few times until I settled on the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded. Got it at Best Buy for about $210.

Linux mint seemed to have all of the drivers loaded already so the 2.4 GHz controller dongle worked right out of the box.

Anyway, hoping this helps somebody make a decision because I was completely stuck reading boxes, reviews, and in the return process until I settled on this beast.

can someone help

I have not been able to make the mod work on Linux. The base game works just fine but it's lowkey unplayable without the HD mod.

So I just opened my Steam application on the desktop and it opened multiple Chrome-like windows. I've never installed Chrome on my PC. I just closed Steam and rebooted the system. I found one post on Reddit with the same issue. The windows kept spamming until I rebooted the system. Is it some bug that happened that is related to the fact that Steam uses Chromium? Or is there a virus on my PC? Basically, all I want to know is whether I'm safe or not.

Okay, I give up. For the love of God, could someone help me download Zenless Zone Zero on my Pop!_OS?
I’ve already tried everything—Lutris, Heroic. I downloaded the various versions of Proton and Wine through ProtonPlus. I’ve encountered so many different errors that I don’t even know which one to describe. So I’d like to ask, if anyone has a step‑by‑step guide on how to get this working, please share it here.

The closest I got was using Heroic, but it seems the Hoyo anti‑cheat breaks the game before it even starts.

I had to rely on ChatGPT for most of the process because all the tutorials I found gave some error that I have no idea how to fix.
I’m new to Linux now, and I’m willing to put in the effort to get the system working properly.

Trying to make my game full screen in RuneScape. The game shows it's full screen but the taskbar remains visible. How can I get it to hide it?

Using the Windows version with Proton, as it seems Jagex has discontinued maintaining the native Linux binary

Is there still about a 20% FPS loss compared to Windows?

Hi all, I am setting up Bazzite on my desktop and it's great so far but I want to run my Fanatec CSR and I'm not sure how to go about making it work on BeamNG and Assetto Corsa.

I'm installing the Fanatec Linux drivers here: https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff

I'm stuck on the install portion, basically I'm getting this message during "make"

Skipping BTF generation for hid-fanatec.ko due to unavailability of vmlinux

This presents a problem when I try to make install because I get this issue:

'hid-fanatec.ko' -> '/lib/modules/6.17.7-ba19.fc43.x86_64/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-fanatec.ko'

cp: cannot create regular file '/lib/modules/6.17.7-ba19.fc43.x86_64/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-fanatec.ko': Read-only file system

I believe I need to find a way to install the .ko file but I haven't had any luck yet
