Arch, Gnome, steam. When i start dota 2, it starts normally and I can see it in system monitor, but there is no window for dota, and I can't open it. Has anyone encountered this problem and how you solve it?

Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Thomas, a Rust developer, and I’ve been working on a project I’m really excited to share: a new version of chess-tui, a terminal-based chess client written in Rust that lets you play real chess games against Lichess opponents right from your terminal.

Would love to have your feedbacks on that project !

Salutare , cum pot să instalez un joc piratat pe linux mint? Aș avea nevoie și de informația de unde îl descarc și cum îl instalez , precizez ca sunt nou pe linux , mulțumesc

i wanna use my dualsense controller to play a game through lutris,but for some reason it dosent pop up when i type "wine control" and go to controllers. Im on a laptop running zorin os 18

I am trying to play red dead online on my linux mint cinnamon 22.1

And after fucking with rockstar launcher for so long I can finally use the goddamn launcher

One problem is that it refuses to find me my games

My steam games are on other drive and for some reason rockstar checks only one drive

I'm going crazy I am completely out of ideas what to do

When I click play on steam it looks like it will run but then it just stops

Launcher is saying "buy now" and when I search for games it says there are none

Was my original post deleted by the administrators? Wow, very supportive community. You know what? I've changed my mind; my game will never support Linux. You can delete this post too!

I need to add a wad file to gzdoom I'm kind of new to the Linux so I need help

winecfg

execution 1

after clicking 'ok'

these are images of trying to run The House of The Dead 1 (maybe 32bit or 16 bit idk) with wine.

folders :

|--- folder 1 [contains iso] to mount
|
|--- folder 2 [contains thotd exe] to execute that searched for the mounted cd-rom

in windows i do it the same way. for linux : wine i used winecfg to add the mounted iso as D drive. but as you can see the error msg in the images and i shared the whole output in text below.

i use hyprland(obviously wayland) on NixOS.

and i downloaded :

wineWowPackages . waylandFull

wineWowPackages . stagingFull

I recently bought a Quest 2, and with all the Linux VR talk recently (thanks Valve please make steamvr good thanks) I decided to try using it for PCVR on linux.

Distro: Kubuntu 25.10 (Plasma 6.4.5, Wayland)

GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB (driver 580.95.05)

Rest of the PC: Ryzen 5 5600, 16GB DDR4-3200

VR connection settings: Everything left default, OpenVR compatibility set to XRizer, resolution set to 80% to give my GPU a fighting chance

Having heard rumors about SteamVR being outpaced by WiVRn, I didn't bother trying SteamVR,

I just installed WiVRn via flatpak, and it worked instantly. The setup wizard automatically installed WiVRn on my ADB connected Quest, and it was all ready to go in about a minute! I used USB to connect the headset to PC because I don't have a capable wireless network, though ethernet worked great too from my limited testing. To add desktop viewing and control like on SteamVR, I used WlxOverlay-S, which I set to auto-launch in WiVRn settings, and it works great (besides the complex controls).

First title I tried was Aircar, and it ran totally fine; it picked up quest controller bindings automatically even though the game asked for an xinput controller, and was a nice experience. Next up I tried VRChat, which has EAC, and it worked wonderfully. Audio and bindings were all fine, and I was hitting the 90fps limit in most simple worlds running at around 80% resolution and medium settings (I am on a 1060 after all). Hand tracking worked perfectly without any extra setup, i just put down my controllers and immediately my hands were picked up in game. After two days of non-stop VRchat, I only had a crash once, with no major freezes. Beat saber also worked totally fine after switching to XRizer instead of open composite, otherwise my system would crash when exiting the game (but the game itself ran on open composite fine too).

( I also ran OBS Studio to record some VR gameplay, and clicking Record makes any game lag for about a minute, after which it's totally fine to where I even forgot I was recording and ended up with a 30 minute video, woops. Audio was picked up fine.)

What I was surprised to see work:

• At least in VRChat, all controller buttons worked, including capacitive touch!
• Hand tracking works flawlessly.
• Okay latency - WiVRn dashboard reported between 40 and 60 ms motion-to-photon latency, which felt fine, but probably not too great for beat saber and the like. However, just pulling up the WiVRn dashboard immediately spikes the reported latency so... it could be anything.
• No complex setup - just run the WiVRn app, connect headset, and go.

Problems and gripes:

• No SteamVR controller bindings menu - from what I could find, the only way to re-bind controls is to edit .json files in XRizer if you select XRizer as the compatibility tool. (Not sure)
• No motion smoothing! In more demanding games, this might be the final nail in the coffin for people thinking about using Linux for VR. Though, from my personal experience previously on windows, motion smoothing only turns a laggy unplayable experience to a nicer looking, but still input latency-ridden mess.
• Game compatibility is questionable? VRchat is a Unity game with EAC, so safe to say that just about any other Unity game should work just fine, but HL:Alyx and some other games can be a mixed bag - read more about it in the Linux VR Adventures wiki: https://lvra.gitlab.io/docs/games/

Running WiVRn on latest Kubuntu Plasma with Wayland, Nvidia GTX 1060, worked totally fine. Using a Quest 2 the controller bindings were picked up automatically and hand tracking worked great too. MTP latency was usable (40-60ms). I will personally continue using this setup rather than keeping MS Windows around.

Ask away in the comments if you have any questions, thanks!

Hello guys,

i want to Dual-Boot with Windows 11 Pro and Linux (Fedora). For Linux i still need a good RGB software, on Windows right now i use SignalRGB.

I have tried OpenRGB once but for myself its built to complex and SignalRGB fits perfect for me. Its easy to use and has a way cleaner user interface.

Also i would need AMD Adrenaline (not sure if its supported on Linux) and stuff like XBOX Accessories (For my XBOX Elite Core 2).

Are there any other softwares?

So i am in roblox studio and when i press the triangle button (blue play button) it tells me that PlaySolo has encountered an error or something Can someone figure out what this means? I disabled webview in vinegar settings and enabled dvxk in both vinegar and wine settings

I am looking for some new friends on steam. I mainly play the FiveM, Dota 2, CS GO HMU. (got all of the games incl. dlc and remasters). I also have GTA IV, V, RDR2. Witch it, Split Fiction, It takes two, supermarket together, town of salem, L4D2, dead by daylight, don't starve together.

My username is Noah / 444365223

Gender: Male
Playtime: Usually evenings, depends on when I am working

I saw that if i put ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/ SteamVR/bin/vrmonitor.sh %command% in the launch options would fix the black screen problem but when i do that steam vr doesn't launch at all. What do i do?
