Fix(es) for games not launching on Steam with Proton
(not my video, taken from post: \"Proton refuses to launch games\" by u/Tough_Chance_5541)
I've seen and attempted tens of fixes for this issue, and the result of all of them is probably reduced performance and future conflicts, if anything. This is a solution I have seen no one mention before.
I dualboot Windows with Linux Mint and have had numerous issues with Steam using both NTFS and exFAT on my games hard drive, which led me to reformat to ext4 for that native support. In the process, I have been moving all of my games (about 4TB total) between my hard drive and an external drive to save time and WiFi. Originally, I copied just the /steamapps/common folder, but the games wouldn't show up so I copied the whole SteamLibrary folder and they showed up. Native games worked fine and a few specific Proton games worked too. This was an error.
Solution: Simply, copying the whole SteamLibrary or even steamapps folder from Windows is a mistake. The files included are for Windows only. ONLY COPY the common folder and all of the appmanifest.acf files from steamapps. Put them elsewhere and let Steam make its own library folder, then copy them over and merge the folders.
In hindsight, this is rather obvious and I ended up figuring it out on my own. The reason I'm making this post is because I spent a few nights troubleshooting and heard every shot-in-the-dark solution except this one, and it would have saved me hours if this post existed for me. I'm sure others will have this same problem, in fact I've seen it in forums all over the internet (I thought to try this because of a Factorio forum post), especially because most people coming from Windows with large libraries will likely make the same error.
Games didn't work from the start for me. Many people have instead reported this issue happening at random after games were already working; below are all of the solutions I have seen mentioned, in no particular order.
Other fixes:
- Clear download cache
- sudo apt update & upgrade
- Test all versions of Proton
- Disable Steam overlay
- steam --reset
- Install/reinstall Vulkan and AMD drivers
- Enabling 32-bit support
- chown games drive
- Delete compatdata folder and restart Steam
- Downloading mesa drivers (including one set of third party drivers)
- Reinstall Steam from your distro's repo, Flathub, and official .deb, never the snap version (fyi clean reinstall requires uninstall, then purge, then rm remaining local files/folders)
- Running games in Lutris
- Give Flatpak permissions via Flatseal (avoid "filesystem=host" and "filesystem=home," add necessary drives/folders in "Other files")
- Installing wine and proton-GE
- Running in Wayland
- Symlinking in ~/.local/share/Steam
- Reading through logs of running Steam in terminal as well as PROTON_LOG=1 %command% (many, many red herrings)
- Reformatting: NTFS is bad, exFAT is less bad, ext4 is best
- Reinstall linux
- Convert to Islam
- just waiting
- magic

After 4 years of work, we finally pushed the release button our game A Webbing Journey. Or to be precise, our spider had the honor of pressing the button.
Fitgirl installer on Linux or do I need another method?
Dualsense Battery always less than 5%?

Script for setting up Arch linux for gaming
I made this script because new users might be confused when setting up arch after installing with archinstall and breaking their system.
(This is my first coding project so i might have made mistakes)
If you have any questions don't feel afraid of asking me ;)

Counterstrike Doesn't Launch
When launching the latest version of Counter-Strike 2 using linux native, the game will attempt to open, but crash before loading the GUI. When running it through proton, the game will start up just fine, but I get a VAC error despite not having modified the game. It worked fine in linux native yesterday morning, but started having issues when I ran it again in the evening. I've not changed anything between game launches.I'm scratching my head with this, trying to figure out what's up.
I am running Arch on Sway WM, have 2 monitors, (ultrawide @2560x1080/144 and a vertical @1080x1920/144) with an Nvidia GPU, and AMD CPU. All drivers and software are fully up to date, including through Pacman, the AUR, and FlatPak.
I will post logs when I get home.

Genshin Impact (part999)
Good day to yall. This is ANOTHER Genshin Impact post lol, sorry about that.
My sister is playing Genshin in the PC and I recently changed the PC to Linux from Windows.
So ChatGPT is suggesting to get it with Wine or "Anime Launcher". Some YouTubers reccoment "Heroic" launcher instead.
I tried Heroic launcher first, it was the third worse experience I had in PC.
Moved to Anime launcher and for some reason I couldnt get the game to start.
At the end I tried wine and lutris to launch HoYo and start the game. But the game was really laggy compared to the Windows experience.
After plenty of mistakes I reset my PC and I start again. I would like to hear experiences on the matter and suggestions of how to move forward and what road to choose so my sister can have a good experience with the game again.
Note: I can retry some of the stuff I already did, if I hear that they are worth it.

Speedrunning on Linux
Has speedrunning on Linux improved at all? Is there any good tools I can use (especially when i use a ps4 controller) for the timer and splits and whatnot? I tried last time a few years ago and it was a huge headache to get anything working, so I'm wondering if theres any new tools and whatnot that would let me speedrun without problem on Linux?

Question regarding on-board mouse profiles with a non-Linux compatible mouse
Going to switch to Linux soon. (First timer here.)
From what I gathered, my mouse (Roccat Kone XP Air) isn't supported by Piper or Eruption.
Here's my question: assuming I set up different profiles in Windows and save them as on-board profiles, will they still work in Linux? I would also set the profile switch action to one of the buttons.
The profiles and key bindings should be saved on the on-board memory, but I wonder if they will still be detected under Linux.
If anyone has any experience with a similar setup, please let me know. Any help or insight is appreciated in advance!

I Saved My Old Positivo PC by Installing a Retro Gaming System.
I'm very concerned about where electronic waste ends up, so with that in mind, I recorded a video giving an idea of what to do with an old PC to increase its useful life.

GE-Proton10-2 Released
GE-Proton10-2 Released
Repository: GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom · Tag: GE-Proton10-2 · Commit: b454e49 · Released by: GloriousEggroll
Hotfix release:
Fixes missing comma in proton script causing prefix issues (this was also a valve upstream issue) Fixes accidental import of the steam ffmpeg libraries instead of the ones we build and ship (this was an accidental copy/paste when porting changes from Proton 10) -- this should fix video playback in a lot of titles as they worked in proton 9 Removes setting ENABLE_HDR_WSI -- this option is only specific for the vk_hdr_layer (https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK_hdr_layer) hack, which is -not- needed as of mesa 25.1 and can cause washed out colors. If you previously used this, it's advised to remove it, and update mesa to 25.1 if you want HDR. added a few patches for allowing more launchers to work in wayland (epic, battlenet, star citizen) added patch to allow 32 bit EOS overlay to work for Among Us. added raw input patches for winewayland (un-accelerated mouse) added touchpad scrolling support patch for winewayland xalia library updates imported from upstream dxvk updated to latest git vkd3d-proton updated to latest git—
This release has 6 assets:

Can't Get Nvidia Proprietary Drivers Working With Weird PC Config
Hello, I've been stuck with this issue for a day and half now so any help would be greatly appreciated.
This config worked for some time on my last Fedora install (with 550 proprietary driver) but I need to reinstall the OS and it just doesn't want to work in any way I've tried so far:
- I've tried various distros: Arch, EndevaourOS, Mint, Fedora (Workstation & KDE Plasma Edition), they all will fail to work correctly after installing the proprietary drivers, with nouveau they at least booted
- I would like to use Fedora if possible
- I've tried using drivers from both RPMFusion & Nvidia's own site (550 and 570)
- I've tried to add this into a modprobe.d config file:options nvidia NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus=1
- I've tried using both X and Wayland
- I've disabled Secure Boot
- I've also tried using CSM instead of UEFI Booting, disabling SVM mode and memory fast boot but these didn't help so I've reverted them
- Most of the times what happens after installing the new drivers and rebooting:
- nvidia-smi doesn't recognize the device
- nvidia-settings doesn't show any useful information
- display gets stretched (runs at 720p on my 3440x1440p 21:9 monitor)
- Sometimes black screens / desktop freezes also happened
- I've ran some commands and tried searching for a bit on forums as well, maybe this is helpful information:
- Here's a screenshot of one of my attempts and the result of lspci -nnk | grep -A3 VGA
- I've read that maybe the subsystem PCI ID isn't valid? ([10de:0000])
My PC specs are:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700x3D
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080Ti Mobile ("Chinese AliExpress/Ebay Special")
- RAM: Mixed G.Skill 2x8GB + Kingston 2x4GB (running at the Kingston's lower speed I think)
- Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max (BIOS Version: E7C02AMS.3K2, Build Date: 08/30/2024)
- Storage: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB Nvme Drive + 240GB Crucial SATA SSD

Why does valve only officially support the .Deb steam packages?
Basically as title. It's weird how they only officially support .deb for installation. Why not rpm/flatpaks etcs

PCSX2 Wayland performance issues
I've installed PCSX2 on my system to play some games and was quite disappointed by the fact that it runs worse than on Windows (example: speed drops from 100% to 75% all the time in Midnight Club 3). After some time of googling I've found out that the issue is Wayland support that was added not too long ago. Tested on X11 and it works flawlessly. Question is: is there some way of running PCSX2 on wayland without performance loss or I need to switch to X11 every time I want to play?
