the title says it all, i will just add some info and tested games

device spec :

intel i5 1235u with iris xe

8Gb RAM with 512GB SSD

vulkan-intel installed

arch Linux

​

tested games :

Mario Multiverse (don't ask me where to download)

geometry dash

​

this only happens on Proton 9, older versions still runs fine

As the title said, I just want to know steam link for quest is on linux yet because VR is one of the main reasons holding me back from switching to Linux

I tried opening ubi connect through lutris and it updated, closed, then I had to relaunch it and it asked me to sign in so I did and it opened the beta to the new launcher (which runs like dried old crusty dog poo). It's borderline unusable now. It doesn't detect an internet connection half the time and when I tried to play the division 2 it's asked me to connect to ubisoft connect. Did it do this for anyone else?

P.S. Also, it has a button you can click that will take you to a survey asking about specific aspects you like/dislike about the beta which also includes a section for suggestions. So maybe, just maybe if enough people ask for a native linux app then we will get one and battleye, eac, etc. support for wine/proton. They can't keep ignoring the growth of linux market share.

i'm thinking on buying me the new intel desktop gpu has anyone expirience with it

Basically I've been forced to use windows for a while due to my GPU being a few years too old to support Vulkan and was unable to run games when I used Linux on my PC, Just recently got around to trying out the newest version of Ubuntu and I've been really wanted to jump back in but still want to be able to play games without needing to dual boot

Is there anyway to get DX11/10/9 to work on Linux?

I switched to Linux a few months ago and things are going great! I'm using an arch-base distro and almost every game I play works out-of-the-box! (thanks to Valve and community <3)

But... what about mods? I really want to play modded Skyrim but I still don't know how things are here on Linux, and it's the only thing I'm worried about. From what I tested on Windows, a mod manager and some external software were needed to make the game work the best, so I was wondering how the situation here was the same or better/worse.

Have you already modded a game? How was your experience? Do you have any tips, advice, warning or some youtube video I can rely on? Anything helps!

I'm hoping it will run well considering its being ported by nixxes, especially with forbidden West being so good at launch.

i want to know if theres still a way to play roblox ?

This is a vague work in progress to help address some of the common tech support questions.

These suggestions are terse. They might be expanded upon. They should at least give some hints about what to search for.

I had some troubles running games on my system. Now they can all be started, but some have a strange graphic error. It looks very similar in different games.

This is what it looks like for Call of Duty: Black Ops II and GTA V

Basically, don’t know how to explain my issue, but I am trying to play freespace 2 from GOG in lutris and it wont run, in fact the only game I got to work was FNV- all my other games just wont run, I dont even remember what I did to get FNV working, and when I say “working” the UI flashes like its trying to give me a stroke.

I dont know where to begin in asking for help, or what the real problem actually is, I just want my good old games to run, for some downtime here and there.

PS: I would never consider going back to windows, for any reason. I love the FOSS apps and the Linux open source operating systems, I use Linux Mint Debian Edition and an NVIDIA RTX 3050 (ti?) on laptop with 16 gb of ram. If you want I could check which drivers but im pretty sure they are the most recent ones.

This is something I have been desperately trying to figure out, yet I have no answer. Whenever I am on Radeon graphics, I can switch between Wayland and Xorg (on the new Plasma) with zero or marginal performance deltas. On Intel iGPU's, though, Wayland runs ever so slightly faster in the games I play. I had some hypotheses as to why this happens, but those don't seem to hold up. Triple-buffering appears to be enabled in either case, and the GPU utilization monitors don't report any background activity whilst in-game. I am using the same Xorg modesetting driver in either case (the deprecated xf86 Intel video driver runs even slower).

This would be an excuse to use Wayland in and of itself, but my favorite DE doesn't support it yet, so I'd like to get the best out of Xorg in the meantime.

As expected, the first release candidate of the forthcoming XWayland 24.1 is now available ahead of its planned stable debut in May.

This is another big feature update for XWayland to enjoy running X11/X.Org apps/games under Wayland compositors. The XWayland 24.1 release is delivering explicit sync support that's long been brewing throughout the stack and delivers the most noticeable improvements for those using the NVIDIA proprietary Linux graphics driver. Also of NVIDIA relevance in this version is removing the EGLStream back-end now that NVIDIA is finally supporting GBM.

XWayland 24.1 also delivers a number of rootful improvements including HiDPI and fractional scaling for the rootful mode, among other improvements.

Currently using Pop!_OS 22.04 and I've tried Proton 8.0-5, Proton Experimental, Proton 7.0-6 and Proton GE 9-4.

The game only works fullscreen on Proton 7, but menu navigation with keyboard goes so fast that it's unusable.

Proton 8, Experimental and GE: the game freezes a second after starting in fullscreen mode and the cursor goes out of the game in windowed mode.

Hey folks, I'm trying to get my Bluetooth Stadia controller to work with Steam. I've read some of the other Stadia posts here, but haven't found a solution. Any help appreciated.

Current issue: I have a Stadia controller that's been switched to Bluetooth. I've used it successfully on Windows for a year. I can connect the controller to Linux via Bluetooth. It shows up in my devices. But when I go to Steam settings, it shows No Controller Detected. As far as Steam is concerned, the controller doesn't exist. Any ideas how to fix?

I'm running Linux Lite Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS Kernel Linux 5.4.0-176-generic (x86-64)

My hardware is an HP Chromebox

I cant seem to make it work
