Hey guys, new to linux and to this community I've had a ton of fun installing and discovering Linux but have run to some problems with WoW so I come to you guys in the hope that you guys might be able to help.

So I installed Battle.net through lutris and then installed WoW and while it launches and I'm able to kind of play, the game after an undertermined ammount of time freezes, sometimes it takes a while sometimes its almost as soon I as login into a character...

I've tried different runners and runner options, different drivers, different in-game settings from the settings that the developers in the tooltip say might cause problems with certain OS/GPU combinations to changing from DX11 to DX12 etc.

The problem persists so maybe somoene here who has similar hardware has gone through this problem or maybe has similar hardware and never went through this problem but has a solution for me.

Here's my Hardware:

Laptop Gigabyte 16" AORUS 16X ASG-53PT
Intel® Core™ i7 14650HX 16-Core
16GB (2x8GB) DDR5-5600 MHz
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GDDR6
SSD 1TB NVMe PCIe Gen4
Screen : 16", 16:10, WQXGA (2560x1600) ( I do usually have a second monitor connected)

Kernel Version:6.14.2-arch1-1 (64-bit)
KDE Plasma Version : 6.3.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0
QT Version : 6.9.0
Graphics Platform : X11

If there's any other info that might be useful to help troubleshoot this, I'll give!
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I have an arcade PC with quite old hardware at this point, it's got an i7 6700k and a gtx 970.

I use it mainly for emulation, mainly switch, and some lighter Steam gaming, old Mortal Kombats, some Hades, Vampire Survivors and such.

I'd like to be able to install Emudeck on it and use ES-DE as emulation frontend while keeping Steam for the PC games. Also I have 8 controllers in this build, I don't know if that's an issue for Linux but it certainly is for Windows, I have to set them up pretty much every time I start an emulator.

Windows 10 has started nagging about the upgrade but my hw isn't eligible for W11 so I figured I could take the plunge into Linux gaming.

What distro would you recommend? I was kindof decided on bazzite but the download doesn't let me pick my gpu (16xx and newer for Nvidia).

Basically I'm running a standalone application through proton and wine and getting different experiences. When run through proton the application is smooth, whereas when run through wine the application stutters and lags with my fans ramping up due to the increased CPU usage - as if my GPU is not being used properly.

I've used winetricks to install dxvk and vkd3d, and when run through wine the logs appear to imply that the GPU is being used. What does proton do differently that could be the cause of this? I'm using wine 10.5:

warn: Skipping CPU adapter: llvmpipe (LLVM 19.1.7, 256 bits)

On Nvidia, all NPCs have pixelated / blurry shadows. This only goes away when you turn off ambient shadows, but it makes the game look worse.

Seems to be a pretty common issue on protondb https://www.protondb.com/app/2531310

Here's what it looks like

Although it doesn't really bother much since minecraft opens and runs 3x faster on linux, it still gives me an error, this happens more oftenly on some modpacks, and less on others.

SPECS:
Distro: Ubuntu 24.04
CPU: I3-3245
GPU: GT 1030
RAM: 8GB DDR3

If I catch this error again, I'll screenshot it and post it here.

Not only will they continue ignoring it but they will actively disagree with you even though you're right.

Yes, I understand the argument that Valve backing a generic build for SteamOS would help speed things up and improved compatiblity, but 95% of what most people, including gamers, use their PC for is already working well and has been for some time now. Please help me understand the logic.

Obligatory "please don't send hate".

I have a few games that work great in Bottles, but for a few, they play best with a controller. However, Bottles does not detect any controllers plugged into my system even after installing the xinput dependency within the Bottle. Anything else I'm missing or is Bottles just broken for controller use?

I recently moved over to Arch and a couple of my games outside of any launcher I have just don’t work. Actually, one works, but it doesn’t have sound, and the other just straight up refuses to launch through wine. I’ve tried installing necessary DLLs and faudio, but that didn’t seem to do anything. Can anybody help me? I’ve got these games working before on different distros with minimal effort, but now they just don’t want to work for some reason.

I'm working on switching to Linux Mint from Windows 10, and I can get just about everything to work except the EA Desktop and games. I'm not even playing new games or anything that has multiplayer (the most recent game was released in 2019). All single player games but I'm forced to use the EA Desktop to launch them. I have the EA Desktop installed through Lutris, and it will launch the game, but crash before the menu even pops up. Really just want to play the below games.

Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Dragon Age 2 Ultimate Dragon Age Inquisition Mass Effect Legendary Mass Effect Andromeda

How can I get these games to run? Or will I need to keep a spare PC in windows just for gaming?

Genshin: Proton ✅
HSR: Proton/Wine ✅ (via third-party launcher, but still counts!)
ZZZ: Proton ✅

Wuthering Waves: ‘Our Anti-Cheat is just… built different. (It’s worse.)’

Come on, even macOS got support. An OS that isn’t even primarily for gaming. Is there really nothing we can do? I mean, it’s a free gacha game, perfect for Steam Deck/Linux players! Why lock us out?

Does anyone remeber this gem of a game from 2007?

Apparently Atari did a "Nintendo" so it stopped developing the same year.

Was thinking we need an open source version of this to test out our new gpu's with all the latest (vulkan) bells and whistles. Anyone know of something like this?

I am scared to use unsuppotted os, so should I upgrade to Win 11 even though my pc doesn't support it or should I switch to some linux distro? In the past I had some problems with Vulkan and I couldn't play Dota 2 because of it cuz the game was crashing all the time (main reason why I use Win 10) but I think that issue was due to me using HDD. I now have ssd. Hopefully I wont recieve biased answeres.

I game on my Windows 11 Pro from time to time (the principal reason I have a Windows installation). Its dual booted with Arch Linux. My specs are:

Intel i3-12100

8GB RAM

No dedicated GPU.

How is gaming experience on Linux with integrated GPUs? I've never really been curious about gaming on Linux, so I've never checked out the tech behind the stuff. To be exact -- I'm not asking about games written for Linux, but ones written for Windows, but that can be played on Linux (with Proton e.g.?). I'm guessing there's a lot of extra stuff the bridge between Windows and Linux has to do, which takes a considerable toll on your resources. Having an integrated GPU, sometimes games (I'm not talking about the titles released in the past 5 years) don't work well even on Windows, and so performance is bound to get worse on Linux.
