CRT Shader programs like ShaderGlass but for Linux?
I found one program, but the screen mirror feature doesnt work on bazzite atm due to something with godot and X11 that goes over my head.

R2ModMan with apparmor (Ubuntu)
Hi, I've just switched to Ubuntu (first time on Linux) on my home PC and I would like to play modded Lethal Company. I have installed Steam and R2ModMan, but when I start the game through R2 I get the following error:
Steam now requires user namespaces to be enabled.
This requirement is the same as for Flatpak, which has more detailed
information available:
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki/User-namespace-requirements
Now, I have followed the instructions here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-04-lts-noble-numbat-release-notes/39890 and I was able to deactivate app armor and play modded Lethal Company. But I would like to properly setup steam and R2ModMan so that I don't have to disable it.
Now, I have a steam file with the following code:
# This profile allows everything and only exists to give the # application a name instead of having the label "unconfined" abi <abi/4.0>, include <tunables/global> profile steam /usr/{lib/steam/bin_steam.sh,games/steam} flags=(unconfined) { userns, # Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details. include if exists <local/steam> }However, this seems to not be enough. Can you guys please help?
PS: Steam works just fine, is just R2 giving me problems

What is best CachyOS Or Bazzite ?
So i have been using linux for a few months now on linux mint while i like linux mint a lot for how easy it is, it isn't exactly the best distro for gaming i just bought a legion go s with steamOS and want to install a gaming OS on my PC, i have tried cachyOS before since its based on arch like steamos but quickly went back to linux mint cuz i got soo confused with it never tried bazzite so should i try bazzite ? Or give cachyOS another try ? I should mention i have an NVidia GPU And Intel CPU (I have a prebuilt still unfortunately, i eventually next year want to upgrade to an AMD Gpu and CPU pc build by myself)

Is there any indication of when games like BF6 or Rainbow Six will be able to run on Linux?
I've been very enthusiastic about the complete migration to Linux, but I still can't because my favorite games don't run on the penguin system.
Does anyone have any perspective on the matter?

Why ?
Why some games are developing with anticheat why they don't have support to run on Linux distributions through steam machines which can be paid and buy ?
What is reason to do anticheat leveling gaming

Anyone else experiencing crashes/shader cache issues with Unreal Engine games? perhaps with Predecessor and Arc Raiders?
Hi! so for some time now I'm experiencing crashes with two games that use Unreal Engine (f**k Unreal Engine btw) , specifically Predecessor (the MOBA) and Arc Raiders. Basically after playing some time (and this play time can be very random ranging from 30 minutes to 3hrs+), my GPU driver freezes and it crashes sending me to the login screen. Also another symptom on Predecessor is that it takes a hell of a lot time to process the shaders when the game launches.
here are my specs:
I just want to know if I am really the only one with this issue because I've looked online and I can't find any other report/post about this and I find it very weird. This happened when I was using KDE as well so it's not a Gnome issue. I've tried proton 10, 9, experimental, GE, proton-cachyos but it didn't help. I've also tried deleting all the mesa shader cache from /home/schmitz/.cache/mesa_shader_cache but it also didn't help.
It's REALLY frustrating to have your game crash in an online competitive game, it's basically a loss for me and my team and everyone thinks I've just alt f4'ed, probably got reported plenty of times, I'm surprised I didn't get banned yet.
And also if you did experience this, I've opened a bug report for on the Proton github, so please add a comment with your case so that the devs can have as much info as possible.
here's the link:

6K Linux Resolution (6016x3384) But Can It Run Crysis? in 2026?
Fortnite on Linux Uprise
If there becomes a major increase in Linux users will Epic finally allow Fortnite on Linux? I know Linux has the AntiCheat. Im wondering whether Tim Sweeney will actually be forced to support it due to there being potential money…
I plan to switch Linux and I hope everyone else does aswell. Screw Windows 11 Age of Linux begins.

Steam replay inaccurate device use?
So I don’t own a windows machine and definitely haven’t logged into one on steam in years. I was looking at my steam replay and noticed this graph but I don’t understand how they got those data?

Modded Skyrim with missing NPC voices and music fixed
After struggling for several hours and stumbling, I wanted to post to let people know exactly what they need to do first to save them all the trouble I had to endure.
To give a quick bit of context, I had a previously modded Skyrim instance setup with MO2 on my old CachyOS installation that I migrated to a new CachyOS installation due to hardware upgrades. In the course of re-setting up my modded skyrim, I found the game able to run almost perfectly; except for I had no NPC voices or music like I previously did. I tried multiple proton setups, both GE and non-GE proton with no luck. I tried installing xact, xact 64, as well as vc redistributable to make sure my mods were not missing any other dependencies with having a new proton prefix setup, again no luck.
Finally, i found this post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/1ixrats/sse_another_fix_to_npc_voice_and_music_missing_on/ , which stated to install faudio 20.07 through protontricks to my proton prefix...and it worked!!!
So, to anybody reading this, try installing faudio 20.07 through protontricks first if you are experiencing this problem. Shoutout to u/Ichigo_Kurosaki1503.
Just for posterity: I am running my heavily modded Skyrim with Proton 9.0-4 without issues.

I haven't needed to boot Windows for gaming in 3 weeks and I'm genuinely shocked...
This is gonna sound like typical Linux evangelist BS but just hear me out for a second.
I've been a Windows gamer my entire life. Built my first PC in 2015, always ran Windows because "that's where the games are." About 6 months ago I set up a Linux dual boot just to mess around with, expecting it to be a side project hobby thing.
Fast forward to now - I checked my boot menu history and I haven't loaded into Windows in 3 weeks. Not on purpose, just... didn't need to.
What changed:
Valve's Proton compatibility layer has gotten insanely good. I'm playing:
- Baldur's Gate 3 - flawless
- Cyberpunk 2077 - native performance
- Elden Ring - zero issues
- Spider-Man - day one compatibility
All through Steam. Click install, click play. That's it. No terminal commands, no config file editing. It just works.
According to ProtonDB, about 80% of top Steam games now run gold/platinum on Linux (https://www.protondb.com/). Three years ago that number was under 50%.
Why Windows should be worried:
Microsoft keeps making anti-consumer moves:
- Windows 11 hardware requirements leaving millions behind
- The Recall spyware feature they tried to push
- Forcing online accounts for setup
- Ads in a paid operating system
- Updates that restart your PC mid-game
Meanwhile Linux:
- Free, no license fees
- Zero telemetry unless you opt in
- Updates when YOU want
- Faster boot times (I'm at like 8 seconds)
- No bloatware
The catch:
Obviously Linux isn't for everyone. If you:
- Play Fortnite, Destiny 2, or Valorant (anti-cheat issues)
- Use Game Pass heavily
- Need Adobe Creative Suite
- Don't want to troubleshoot occasionally
Then yeah, stay on Windows. I'm not here to convert anyone.
But here's what surprised me:
I have an NVIDIA GPU. Everyone said "NVIDIA drivers on Linux are terrible." They're... fine? Like completely usable. Sometimes better than Windows because no GeForce Experience bloat.
I genuinely think we're watching a slow-motion shift. Not "Linux will dominate" or whatever, but more like "Windows is no longer the ONLY option for gaming."
Steam Deck is selling millions of units. That's millions of people gaming on Linux without even knowing it. Once that mental barrier breaks ("Linux can't game"), it's over.
My point:
If you're even slightly tech-savvy and frustrated with Windows, maybe try dual booting. You might be surprised how viable it actually is now. Worst case you spent a Saturday learning something new.
Anyone else made the jump? Or am I just experiencing honeymoon phase with my setup?

Prism launcher & curseforge "fatally missing registry entires"
Im using Arch linux, A hardened kernel, the server is using the "ages of war" modpack and its running 1.12.2
When i try to join it tells me im missing mods which i download and then after i download those mods (From the modslist file not just from doing a websearch for them). It tells me im fatally missing registry entries
Thanks to being close friends i have access to the server so i can copy some logs. The logs will just spam the post so i ran them through AI and here is the response
"
This log confirms exactly what is happening: you are running a large 1.12.2 Forge pack (191 mods) and the server is using Netty Epoll (the Linux-specific high-performance networking).
The "Connection reset by peer" happens because the registry data (the list of all items from mods like HBM, Mekanism, and Galacticraft) is so large that the packet size or the time it takes to process it is causing the Linux network stack to drop the connection before it finishes.
"
I have tried downloading the config folder straight from the server and installing random patches which makes the game unable to boot
The game ran fine on a smaller modpack which was half the size
Hope this is enough effort to not get deleted by mods

Steam proton/Nvidia/Ubuntu troubleshooting advice
After upgrading to to Ubuntu 24.04 I can no longer launch games like sonsoftheforest and valheim. I'm at a loss on what to try. I've literally tried everything possible, even factory resetting back to 22.04.
What can I do now? I don't really need advice on what to try because I've done it all:
- Kernel versions
- Nvidia driver versions (535 used to work perfectly for me, tried everything up to 580)
- Proton versions (tried all versions along with all recommended by protondb, GE/Calypso)
- Reinstalling steam
- Factory resetting the OS
There is something really wrong, maybe my hardware, but this issue is not debuggable. I run steam to see logs and it looks fine but the game never launches. Usually I can figure things out but there are no errors or logs to understand what is going on here.
What can even be done at this point?
