Quiero empezar a jugar en linux usando steam y proton pero para mi sorpresa ningun juego de windows se ejecuta. Desde steam le doy al boton de "jugar" y luego de aceptar los "terminos" sale una ventana de vulkan con una carga que al llegar al 100% desaparece y luego no pasa nada, el boton pasa de "detener" a decir "jugar" nuevamente, no sale ninguna ventana de error, tampoco se registra ningun error en los logs que he revisado.

Mi harware:

Placa: Gigabyte A620M GAMING X

Procesador: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core Processor

Sistema operativo y cliente:

- Linux Mint 22.1 (64 bits)
- Nombre de kernel: Linux
- Versión de kernel: 6.8.0-90-generic
- Editor de X Server: The X.Org Foundation
- Versión de X Server: 12101011
- Gestor X Window: Mutter (Muffin)
- Versión del runtime de Steam: steam-runtime_1.0.20251202.187498

Tarjeta gráfica:

- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
- Versión del controlador: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 580.119.02

Ram: 32Gb Corasair vengeance

Lista de juegos que he probado:

- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
- Horizon
- Sky: children of the light
- A plague tale requiem
- Outer wilds
- Tomb raider
- SIlksong

NOTA 1: Todos estos juegos estan descargados en un disco SSD que tengo aparte solo para juegos, desde steam tengo configurado el almacenamiento.

NOTA 2: El unico juego que se ejecuta correctamente es Silksong, pero creo que es porque salio nativo para linux, esto no me queda claro.

A continuacion listo todas las cosas que he probado:

- Cambiar de diferente version de drivers NVIDIA.

- Instalar ultima version de driver publicada en la web de NVIDIA manualmente.

- Cambiar de version distro, de Linux Mint 22.2 (zara) a Mint 22.1 (xia), pues vi en protondb que muchos tenian Mint Xia con la misma grafica que yo y les funcionaba todo sin problema.

- Probar otra distro completamente distinta, orientada a juegos y con otro nucleo: Bazzite.

- Probar todas las versiones oficiales de proton posibles, experimental, hotfix, versiones desde la 4 hasta la ultima estable 10.

- Probar versiones no oficiales (creo) de proton usando ProtonUp-QT.

- Colocar diferentes comandos en el configurador de lanzamiento de steam (comandos recomendados desde protondb).

- Probar lanzador de juegos diferente: Heroic Games Launcher.

Siento que estoy perdiendo mi tiempo al escribir esto, que todo es una tonteria mal configurada, o que directamente mi hardware no funciona para ejecutar juegos emulados, no soy de los que escriben en foros preguntando, al contrario soy de los que responden y ayudan.

Ahora estoy de este lado pidiendo algo de orientacion, no se que estoy haciendo mal y ya estoy desesperado y algo desepcionado de linux, pues no es la primera vez que me tengo que regresar a windows porque algo no funciona.

im using nvidia rtx 3050 6 gb with intel i5 12450h. i was dealing with some kind of kernel driver incompability issuses with ubuntu 24.04 lts before that. i reinstalled the "competible" driver and now helldivers 2 just doesnt run. i tried some things (launch options commands, and asked some help from ai) but i really dont know what to do rn .

UPDATE: i delete and reinstalled helldivers 2. now its running perfectly fine but still i cant understand why this happened. thank you :)

As the title says. I cannot interact with them either.

Just switched from windows. Clean Linux install. Drives formatted correctly. Using recommend drivers. Downloaded and installed all steam Proton add ons.

Hello! I just switched to Pop OS today and so far it's been great.

However I am not able to run any Steam games.

So what I did was my games are in a separate drive from the OS. Steam is in my OS NVME drive which the Steam games are on an existing directory in another drive and I had my Steam on Pop OS read that directory. It did read the game files however the games are not running.

Is it a good idea to uninstall and reinstall these games so it'll install as something readable by Linux? The games were installed via Steam on WIndows. Thank you!

Everything else is snappy and quick, dolphin file browser opens new windows fast, but when I try to open a new window via steam for example friends list out of my systems tray, it takes like 1-1.5 seconds to open. Anyone have any ideas whats wrong?

I'm getting almost everything I want to play to work through Steam on my Mint build. Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga however doesn't seem to work. No errors and it does something when I hit play but just stops about 7 seconds after I hit the play button, I've tried most Proton versions but it just refuses to work. Any one else get this game to work in Linux?

HORDA é um jogo de tiro estilo Arcade 2D, de ação e progressão continua que irá testar suas habilidades como jogador.

Although it is not officially supported, this game also works under Linux. I installed it with Lutris and added DirectX with Winetrick, and it worked fine.

The game link

The /etc/apparmor.d/steam profile shipped with Ubuntu 24.04 prevents Steam from running with the error "Steam now requires user namespaces to be enabled."

The profile's comment states it "allows everything and only exists to give the application a name instead of having the label unconfined" but it uses flags=(complain) instead of flags=(unconfined), causing child processes like bwrap and steam-runtime-check-requirements to be restricted.

Fix:

Change flags=(complain) to flags=(unconfined):

profile steam /usr/{lib/steam/bin_steam.sh,games/steam} flags=(unconfined) { userns, include if exists <local/steam> }

Then reload: sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/steam

Environment:

• Ubuntu 24.04
• Kernel 6.17.0-8-generic
• steam-launcher 1:1.0.0.85
• apparmor loaded with landlock, yama, apparmor, ima, evm

The flatpak profile in the same package correctly uses flags=(unconfined). The steam profile appears to have been intended to work the same way based on its comment, but has the wrong flags.

Hello, everyone!

Can someone answer my question: Is it possible to run games from Steam in Faugus Launcher? So that they run from Steam.

Sorry, I don't understand it very well.

Hi all,
I'm attempting to play the newest EGS freebie, Wildgate, using the Heroic Launcher. The game opens fine, but it fails at login. Stating that connection to the server was not possible. I have tested a bunch of Proton versions with the same result.

Is there any "global" issue with EGS multiplayer games through Heroic that I'm not aware of ?

I kindly appreciate any help given.

I have an intel/nvidia laptop, and i noticed in hybrid mode Nvidia dGpu stays active and consume around 8Watts.

That's the way it works, so on linux it never get off until you completly start the system with the iGpu? Or what?

I'm on KDE and i also tried to start the system with iGpu, then launch a program checking the box to use the dGpu, but it doesn't works.

I'm not an expert, but at this point i don't understand if there is a configuration issue with my system or if this is just how it works, so with the dGpu always active.

Thanks

Happy New Year guys.

I recently made a game, and the native Linux build is out now.

My self, I'm Debian user so on my rig it runs smoothly, usually use Windows for gaming and game dev, and I've never really tried gaming on Linux before - mostly just regular software development. Now it's become more interesting to explore what experience actually is :D

If you're interested in giving it a shot and spending about an hour to beat the game that I was tinkering with friends, be my guest https://niflforge.itch.io/drownedcaves ^_^! I'd be glad to hear any feedback you have.

Cheers!

NVIDIA is preparing to add native Linux support to GeForce NOW, expanding the service beyond its current list of officially supported platforms. The company has not shared full technical details yet, but the move would give desktop Linux users a supported way to stream games without relying on workarounds.

GeForce NOW already has an official path on Steam Deck. NVIDIA provides a setup method that adds GeForce NOW to the Steam Library from Desktop Mode, so it can be launched like a regular entry in Gaming Mode. Linux desktop users, by contrast, have largely depended on unofficial GeForce NOW apps or browser tweaks to make the service work reliably, and those approaches can break after updates. That looks set to change once Linux support lands.

Alongside the Linux news, NVIDIA is also set to announce GeForce NOW support for a new batch of games. The next lineup includes 007 First Light, Crimson Desert, Resident Evil Requiem, and Active Matter, based on the company’s latest promotional material.

This comes as GeForce NOW is also moving to a 100-hour monthly playtime limit, which we covered in a separate story. The cap applies across tiers and extends to long-time subscribers, changing how much time a subscriber can actually use each month.
