I am having trouble launching my games in bazzite on my rog ally. It used to work before now and I see this error on any games I run. Noticed that the path it is accessing in the root its mounted on '/' ? The drive which has bazzite install bazzite deck but it is somehow trying to access mount /. I am not that good with linux so there lies my problem in trying to figure this out. Would appreciate some insight on why this is happening and if there is any way for me to fix this. Appreciate the help. Thanks.

I know this is a Linux forum, but it's gaming/sysadmin related.

I am running Pop OS as my daily driver. It works great for most games, but every once in a while there's one that will ONLY run on Windows (looking at you, Rainbow 6).

I can dual boot Windows and grit my teeth just to play a game, then head back to Linux for everything else, BUT, Windows updates are just a giant nightmare. I've tried this in the past, and it works, BUT I need to load Windows and have it steal my computer from me for an hour or so to install a bunch of updates every time I go to play a game. Kinda ruins the night.

Is there a way to have my computer boot into Windows, let it install updates, then reboot back into Linux on some sort of schedule? The only thing worse than having to boot Windows just to play a game is to boot Windows just to install Windows Updates.

Now this isn't really about Doom Eternal it's more of a question if anyone knows something about it.

I'm currently on my Windows pc, I had linux mint about 3 months ago maybe I switched back because of some features I needed and I just got bored of linux (dying light didn't work on it aswell).

When I was on Linux I had pirated Doom eternal and played at like 60-70 fps with no upscale. I download it on my windows pc and I barely run it at low with upscaling, what the fuck? I knew there was a slight difference but that's insane, my pc is very mid but I can run games which I like to play and I bought it like 3 years ago and I'm not ready financially to buy a new one.

Now, was it Linux that made that difference or something that needs tweaking beacuse I'm on 15-20fps on windows. Anything helps, thanks!

Anyway to use one or the other for everything? HGL now has GOG multiplayer support so you can play Baldur's Gate 3 online with crossplay etc. But HGL doesn't have a way to add emulated games. I don't know of anyway to add HGL library to Lutris or enable gog online in Lutris. Would be nice to have a single application for game library. Anyone know of any possibilities? submitted by /u/dp27thelight

Very frustrating. I've been looking forward to a game for quite a while, and they're only just no saying that they have no plans to make it playable for Linux, when it releases on Monday. If it doesn't even work on proton, this is incredibly shitty

Now I’m aware this question has been asked probably thousands of times, but I need advice.

I prefer the gnome desktop environment and the easy terminal installation of applications and general use of Linux over windows, but I need a distro to stick with long term. (No ai nonsense ads telemetry and less resource usage is also a plus of Linux aswell)

I don’t want a DIY approach I’d like to have everything ready out of the box, arch does this and I dislike that approach of things, I just want something that works, I also don’t want a niche distro as I’d like to keep it simple and have a large community/company involved.

Desktop: I prefer the gnome desktop environment by far over the rest, I’ve tried most and it’s what I prefer. Way better than taskbar workflow with windows and kde desktop in my opinion. Wayland is also a must.

Release cadence: I’d like a distro that doesn’t update constantly, I tend to not use my computer for a while at times, and I’ve heard that this causes problems for arch based distributions, I also don’t want tons of bugs in my system due to bleeding edge software. I don’t want to tinker about with my system and waste my time.

Gaming: I mainly game on steam, don’t use mods or anything involved like that, I just play the games and recently converted my pc to amd for maximum Linux compatibility, (7800xt gpu and ryzen 7 7700) Flatpak or native steam I’m not really fussed. As long as it gets the job done.

Now all things considered Ubuntu should be the choice, fairly new since it’s just some version of Debian testing, but not too new like fedora and it’s constantly changing kernel versions mesa versions etc, but, too many times I see the community not recommend Ubuntu, probably due to snap (which I wouldn’t use but I also don’t care at all that it’s on my system, I’d just use flatpak instead in the terminal) should I just use Ubuntu? I really just need something that works here.

I also see the community not recommend Ubuntu due to bad gaming compatibility, is this the case? As long as the performance is similar to the rest, of the distros, I do not mind.

EDIT:: Thank you everyone for the info, based on your answers I’ll most likely use Ubuntu 25.04 first, mainly with flatpaks, and if any problems arise then Bazzite is where I’ll go. Thanks everyone.

I was just wandering around a huge retail shop with lots of laptops, I've seen some pretty gaming laptops with Ubuntu installed on it. They had some custom stuff on the DE, and it looked beautiful. This got me thinking, what stops companies from having one of those gaming centered distros installed by default? Like Garuda, i love their design tbh. Wouldn't it be awesome? Even maybe SteamOS. It would even be cheaper. We would exterminate windows!

Apparently, there's a bug with BG3 which causes the texture filtering setting to not affect the game, which in turn causes hair textures to not look great. To solve this, you can use an environment variable to force an anisotropic texture filter to the game. In Lutris, right click on the game and press Configure, next go to System options and enter the RADV_TEX_ANISO environment variable to the list as shown in the image.

If you're running the game in a terminal, you should be able to run it like so:

$ RADV_TEX_ANISO=16 wine /path/to/game.exe

Just thought I'd share in case anyone else experiences this issue!

Recently I started a new run of Fallout New Vegas. My first time playing it on Linux. Most of the time It works fine and never crashes to desktop. but It does hang occasionally. Doesn't happen very often. About 4 or 5 times for 50+ hours of gameplay so far. However, when it does hang, it hangs my entire system. I can’t switch to other TTYs using Ctrl+Alt+F2, nor can I SSH into it from another device. Normally, when Linux freezes, I can switch to a different TTY or SSH in, but nothing works when this game hangs. I’m forced to do a hard reboot every time it happens.

Are there any ways to prevent these hangs? Honestly, even a crash-to-desktop would be preferable to this

I installed Ubuntu on Asus TUF F16 laptop. And i discovered there asus-nb-wmi kernel driver is installed by default. With this installed i am able to use some of Armoury Crate features on Linux. But i wonder if i should install asusctl and supergfxctl still? What are they good for?

Thank you!

Hello linux-gaming, I've run into a very annoying to solve problem, basically, my GPU has only 4gb V-RAM, and so do the integrated graphics (I run a laptop), and so, I have this problem where games always crash when I use hybrid, its just a matter of time, and with Nvidia-only I am hamstrung severly and eventually it will cause issues if im listening to music or listening to a video in the backgound. or in a discord call.

I'm not sure what to do.

my laptop is an FX506LHB, its got a 1650 GTX, 8 × Intel® Core™ i5-10300H CPU @ 2.50GHz, and 32gb of Ram, and also 2 NVME 1tb SSD's.

my Distro is Debian 12, my DE is X11 running KDE Plasma version 5.27.5., im using envycontrol to choose hybrid and nvidia modes.

I really don't know whats wrong here. I can use wayland in hybrid, and it wont crash, but i get this horrible square shaped screen-tearing, where its like, it horizontally and vertically tears, and it lags hard in ways I don't experience on X11 in the same game. (Victoria 3).

does anyone have advice on this?
