Release highlights:

• Fixed a bug that could prevent the driver from initializing on some systems running RHEL 9.3.

That seems to be it for this month! Download here.

I've migrated to Zorin from Windows and had all my games on a few NTFS drives. I installed steam (native) via CLI and tried running some games after re-engaging my old libraries. Literally not a single non-linux game runs. I hit play, shaders try to compile and the button turns blue indicating that the games are trying to launch, but nothing happens. The Play button returns to green. I press it and the same thing happens. I read some places that NTFS is a problem, so I tested a basic game "Tomb Raider Legend" on my primary drive formatted as ext4. Same issue.

Is there something I'm missing?

Has anyone managed to run nightrunners on steam past the first initial loading screen? EndeavourOS / proton

Hello, everyone !!

we are currently working on an open source Linux desktop based on arm64, which can run Android applications（including Android games）.

Welcome to use our open source desktop called OpenFDE

this is our github address：https://github.com/openfde

Welcome to install，and give us some advice.If you have anything you'd like to discuss, please leave a comment on the github forum. and if you are familiar with android frameworks and hal drivers. The languages are java and c++ and want to join our open source project, please contact me.

I've been trying to run games such as Kingdom Hearts 3 through bottles, but I got to the point where I need to install dependencies and I can't find anywhere a list of which are needed. At all.

It's like every single person talking about Bottles online assumes everyone else already knows every single dependencies every single program needs.

So... how do you find out which dependencies you need? Where do you have to look?

Now that explicit sync is setup in Wayland, how long should I expect to wait for the new drivers to come in

IIRC there were a few games that had optional anti-cheat, which would separate gamers into two lobbies: Those with anti-cheat, and those without.

Personally I think this is a good solution: If gamers don't mind installing kernel-level drivers to have a pleasant gaming experience, then they're satisfied. If gamers would rather not use anti-cheat (at the obvious cost of cheaters), they're also satisfied.

What would be the downfalls of this approach? The biggest one that comes to mind is segregating the userbase, leading to less concurrent online users available to lobbies.

Hey, I'm specifically interested in the AMD 7800 XT & 7900 GRE, whats your experience on Linux with them? (Distro, Kernel, Mesa) I'm looking to upgrade, just want to make sure everything will work fine, thanks for every answer!

hi guys, i'm making a build for my kids to play current config is:

• ryzen 5 5600x
• rx 6600
• 16gb ram
• main ssd 250
• secondary hdd 2tb

i already plan to mount the home directory on the secondary hdd and setting things so steam launches on big picture mode at boot, they will only be playing steam games, emulators and epic games store games (stuff like fallguys) for now so my main focus is boot time and ease to configure wine, i was looking at chimeraOS and dealing with the rest of stuff after installation, i was wondering if anyone had any advice

cant really find this. do all vive headsets support linux, is it the original vive and vive pro only? i have a rift that im looking to replace what should i replace it with. the cheapest one seems to be a cosmos, but does that have native support? also does the comos support addition vive lighthouses? sorry i jsut find a bunch of old and conflicting information. i guest i could just get a quest but ive tried it and it looks worse than native video headsets

Every now and then I will use my LG C2 TV to game and disable the other monitors in display settings. I will boot up Steam big picture mode and play a game with a controller. Regardless of the game the TV will flicker like crazy and it is essentially unplayable. This issue is absent on Windows 11.

I have Nvidia G Sync/VRR enabled on the TV settings as well as the nvidia x server OpenGL settings and I am on an RTX 4090 system with 545 drivers.

I tried the latest 6.5 kernel as well as the one I currently rolled back to (5.15.0-102) and the issues persist. Is there any way to solve this?

I'm running EndeavorOS (Arch based) on a 2011 Macbook Pro with a Sandy Bridge I5 and no dedicated GPU.

Performance is god awful. I know it's not a modern device but I've maxed it out, SSD swap, RAM upgrade, replaced most components with another near identical model that was in better shape internally.

I did have it in pieces for over two years so I didn't use it during that time but I clearly remember this computer holding its own, mainly minecraft was minimally smooth and stable and browsing the web was just fine, and now it seems like aside from an improved boot time it's worse performance wise.

Heck, I even ran the first version of minecraft I had on it (1.5 in 2011 or 2012) to see if it was just the hardware not catching up to newer code but it still ran like guano.

I switched to Linux in 2016 full time to bring new life into an aging device and it did so extremely well as performance was better than on Mac OS X until mothballing the device in 2021 for restoration.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SihpljERpf8 - This is on a same year, near identical cpu, Macbook Air with soldered 4GB of RAM (I have 16) and it runs circles around mine.

I even disabled mitigations on the kernel to see if it helped.

Do you have a linux computer and play helldivers 2 on it? If so, how well does it run and what are your basic specs? Like GPU; RTX 3050 ti or whatever and ram 16 GB ect.

​

Considering buying it, I am presently running LMDE 6 on a HP windows gaming laptop, running NVIDIA RTX 3050 and 16 GB of ram. it can run no mans sky well, and halo, and deep rock galatic.

Hello, hope someone can help me out here. Im using an XBox series X controller with the official wireless adaptor. I got it to work on Steam and emulators perfectly fine with this: https://github.com/medusalix/xone

Now I decided to try Final Fantasy XIV (non Steam version) to see how it performs on Linux. So I got Lutris, installed the game and everything worked out - except the controller. Game didnt detect any controller. I found the wine control panel or whatever its called (where you can see installed games and also connected controllers). No controller to see there either. So, what could be the issue here? Im using pop os, have the original MS xbox x wireless dongle with the driver workaround I linked above. Im also willing to try the inofficial FFXIV launcher but would prefer not to as I dont really like third party launchers. Also when I understand it correctly its basically doing the same thing Lutris does, so the same problem might happen with the launcher anyway.

Hi, wondering the compatibility of the Logitech G923 with the Steam Deck, I assume fine since the drivers are in the Linux Kernel correct?

As a curveball, my plan is to set the racing wheel up on my Steam Deck to use my TV and have more space , and I was wondering if I could use steam remote play to stream my desktop PC for more demanding games and still use my wheel? Specs if needed;

• AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
• 32GB DDR5 C36 RAM
• Intel Arc A770
• Fedora 39

Does NVidia just freaking hate Linux users or something? I still have trouble with my GPU VRam being fully recognized in games...doesn't matter which distro either, if it's not a steam/proton enable game, I can confidently place money on it NOT working properly.

Starcraft remastered doesn't see 8gb of Vram and as such, cannot use the 'realtime lighting' feature.

RAGE 2 runs like a dog, glitching and freezing every 10 seconds and then completely locking up, forcing a hard exit/reboot.

Honestly I thought we had evolved past this petty crap of holding a grudge against people who want something different for themselves, but that clearly hasn't happened.

Really thinking of ditching NVidia and going to an AMD GPU next, then my whole system will be Team Red.

I have many experiences with Linux, i also did many distro hops.

I used for a long time arch with xfce and i3wm.

But now, i just installed ubuntu and it works well. (It also looks very pretty out of the box, where stock gnome fails in my opinion)

I also dont get it why so much people hate on snap. For now, Snap just works for me like Flatpak.

So here is my Question, why everyone hates on Ubuntu?

Is it possible to play roblox on linux today? I have been researching for the past week and im not getting closer. As i understand roblox is blocking wine, but grapefruit and vineger still work, but grapefruit is gone form flathub? Also its officially un officially supported but not really. My point is i am very confused and really want roblox to work on linux as i have a few friends i play with, and i dont want to dualboot just for roblox. I dont have 2 gpus so i cant use a wm either.
