I am struggling to get Warframe to work well enough to even get into the launcher. I have tried every version of proton I can get my hands on and the most recent GE versions as well. I have tried every launch argument on Protondb and have tried reinstalling as well. I also have updated and upgraded my system to make sure everything was up to date. If anyone has recommendations I greatly would appreciate it. Specs: Kubuntu 24.04 LTS Amd Ryzen 5 3600x Nvidea RTX 2070 Super 32 GB of ram

I'm on fedora with gnome right now, but I'm wondering about making the switch to some other distro for my daily driver and I could really use your collective wisdom. I'm a programmer by trade, so a solid development environment is key, but I also love to unwind with some gaming.

My main hang-up is that I really value a polished, modern, and premium-looking interface. Think sleek animations, consistent theming, and an overall aesthetically pleasing experience. I've seen some amazing setups out there and I'm hoping to achieve something similar.

Another important detail: I'm rocking an Nvidia GPU. I know Nvidia + Linux can sometimes be a bit of a dance, so I'm looking for a distro that handles Nvidia drivers well and offers a relatively smooth experience.

So, for those of you who juggle both programming and gaming on Linux, what distribution do you use and why?

Specifically, I'm interested in: * Which distro do you find offers the best balance of a robust development environment and solid gaming performance (especially with Nvidia)? * Which desktop environments (KDE Plasma, GNOME, Pantheon, etc.) do you think offer the most "premium" and polished look and feel out of the box, or with minimal tweaking? * Any tips or tricks for getting Nvidia drivers set up smoothly on your recommended distro? * Are there any specific distros you'd recommend avoiding given my preferences? I'm open to anything from beginner-friendly options to something a bit more involved if the payoff in aesthetics and functionality is worth it.

Thanks in advance for your insights and recommendations!

Hi, I like my games being playable completely offline, thus I have put bwrap --unshare-net --dev-bind / / as a command prefix in lutris. Now, when I set ge-proton as wine version, games just won't start with the debug log message [...] [umu.umu_run:808] DEBUG: Connecting to '1.1.1.1'... [umu.umu_run:831] DEBUG: Network is unreachable [...] Why does Proton keep trying to connect to 1.1.1.1 and else won't start at all?

I have battle.net installed via steam by adding non-steam game and installing with proton-GE10-4

Everything has been fine for quite a while. All of a sudden I've started to have sound issues.

When I first launch the game sound seems to be fine, but after a minute or so the sound completely stops.

If I check pw-top I see that alsa_output.pci-0000_13_00.6.analog-stereo + world of warcraft W/Q column and B/Q column go to ??? and then the alsa_output.pci-0000_13_00.6.analog-stereo keeps disappearing and reappearing on the list rapidly and sometimes the sound comes back and gets really choppy other times it does not come back at all.

I have an AMD Family 17h/19h/1ah HD audio controller. I have already tried disabling sleep for the audio device via adding:

options snd_hda_intel power_save=0

options snd_hda_intel power_save_controller=N

to /etc/modprobe.d/disable-audio-powersave.conf

This doesn't seem to help.

This happens on both Fedora and Arch Linux.

I am currently running Arch Linux with Pipewire and Wireplumber.

I have no idea where to even start to troubleshoot this. If there are logs or something I can provide to help let me know.

Hey all, has anyone encountered this problem? All of a sudden the whole game freezes for 5-10 seconds, and it happens out of nowhere. Maybe 3-5 times per match. Very annoying, I have tried most of the proton versions , including GE. Alot of different launch options, lowered the graphics, nothing helps. It did this with my 6600 xt too and the same problem with my 9060 xt. Ryzen 5 3600 is my cpu and 16 gb ddr 4 ram

Does it usually work without extra tweaking with latest Proton Stable? For instance, I am going to play Resident Evil Village soon. Will Ray Tracing work without issue? I have Nvidia RTX 2080ti. Using Nvidia-open drivers on Arch Linux.

I'm quite new to linux and I wanted to play games like cs2 or risk of rain 2, but when I launch them, they reach 140+ fps but my 144hz screen displays it as 60hz. My mouse cursor is the only thing that is 144hz. I have turned off composition on fullscreen. The only game that runs on 144hz is minecraft only on full screen. It may have something to do with the fact that I have another monitor which is 60hz but I have checked settings and it's set to 144hz or maybe because I have dual boot to windows. Plasma also didn't help. It seems that all of the steam games won't display at 144hz for me. Also my nvidia settings can't save x config file for some reason I am trying to fix it.

I have an external usb drive formatted in ntfs that has been used, for years, to play windows games through Linux, on Steam. Currently, I am using my wifes' laptop, which is listed as the owner, in Linux Mint 22. I have added my own user profile, which has sudo privileges in an admin account, and have been patently unable to mount the usb drive with the correct perms to run a single game.

Reaching out to the Community/Forums has been an exercise in extreme frustration.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi people, I'm looking for a way to make HDR look actually good on KDE Plasma 6 + Wayland with Lutris and games like Cyberpunk 2077 or The Last Of Us Part I.

For now all I did was enable HDR on my display settings and set the env vars

DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland

In Cyberpunk 2077, enabling HDR results in completely overpowered colors, no matter which HDR setting I choose. TLOU, however, gives the exact opposite result and the colors are totally washed out.

Did I miss out on anything here?

Thanks in advance.

We all know of games that don't work on linux (usually because of anti cheat). People don't often talk about when the opposite is true, but it does happen (usually for older games).

I heard of an Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and the original Chrome game from 2003.

What are some games that y'all know of that are broken on Windows 11 but work just fine on Linux using wine?
