Hey! Ive been getting sick of windows lately, I want to try out linux as my main OS! Which should I try? I do programming but I also dont want to compromise on gaming, ive recently been playing marvel rival, which one would be good for that? When I google I get recommended EndeavourOS, but Ive seen Fedora and Debian being popular! I plan on trying them all at some point, but which do you like?

I should add, I have an Nvidia GPU (gtx 1050) + Ryzen 5 1600

Per title, after playing approximately 30 minutes, the keyboard starts to get unresponsive (the mouse is always fine). Sometimes pressing a key will result in nothing, other times results in something unexpected (pressing 'w' makes the character move backwards).

Sometimes an ALT+TAB will resolve it for a while, but other times not. If I sit and wait a while it seems the keyboard will "catch up".

Searching, some folks on Windows have had success turning off gamepad support in an ini file, but that file and setting do not exist on my installation.

Any clues? Thanks in advance!

Hello friends. I am really desperate because I am trying since two or three days to get Stalker Anomaly to run...to run again because about a week ago the game worked to my surprise almost out-of-the-box.

There are many questions and threads on the net about this topic. Unfortunately, it did not work. So my last hope is to ask people who are more experienced and more competent with this issue than me.

I had already enough time spent to get this game run on Debian Trixie/Testing and it pissed me that much off that I even copied the /opt/wine-staging directory and pasted it into my current system (I had to reinstall Debian). My experience showed me that I needed Lutris and (I am not 100% sure) some DXVK-files, some DirectX-DLLs which should replace the existing DLLs of the same name.

When the game worked, I even made screenshots of Lutris' settings for safety, but now they seem useless.
I had my WINEPREFIX in /opt/wine-staging but then I made apparently a mistake when I created (in console, without Lutris) a 32-bit WINEPREFIX in some other directory (/home/user/.wine or so). After that, the game (Stalker Anomaly 1.5.3) shows the launcher screen when I run AnomalyLauncher.exe, but after starting it (I've tried out every option) I get a black screen with an error message shortly after.

When choosing DX8 or DX9, the message says "shader compilation failed". But my main goal is to run it with DX11, then I get something like "Unhandled exception. See error log for details" - same occurs with DX10.

I tried PlayOnLinux today as an alternative to Lutris, but I couldn't get any results. Purged and reinstalled wine-packages, copied the mentioned DLLs from DXVK's Github to system32 and syswow64, toggled the options in Lutris what to enable/disable, tried running with different wine-versions in different WinePrefixes - no results. I AM FCKD! :(

I beg you...could we make some step-by-step recipe for it (also for others struggling with Anomaly on Linux)? I mean, the game was running excellent a week ago and now I can't find and correct some mistake I apparently made...

Some stats of my system:
OS: Debian GNU/Linux trixie/sid (trixie) x86_64
Host: B550 GAMING X V2 -CF
Kernel: 6.12.22-amd64
Resolution: 1920x1080 @ 60.00Hz
DE: Plasma 6.3.4 [KF 6.13.0] [Qt 6.8.2] (x11)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (12) @ 4.4GHz
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 6600/6600 XT/6600M (8 GB)
Memory: 5.65 GiB / 15.55 GiB (36%)
Network: 1 Gbps
BIOS: American Megatrends International, LLC. 5.17 (11/14/2022)

vulkaninfo/vulkan-tools work well - as I already said, everything worked already fine...
What I should do to get it to run? Reinstall, get some binaries and "integrate" them into the prefix - but maybe this should be done some different way than I did?

Thank you very, very, much for any helpful answers...please help me...

Hi Linux people, my gaming PC is on a full red config (R7 5700X + RX6600) and i'm planning to start to fully using linux on it soon. But i'm using amd tools like FSR (upscaling and frame generation) and freesync, and i'd like to know how they are supported now, and how to use them.

I did some researches but articles and posts i found were often outdated or not really clear so if you can enlighten me that would be really cool :)

Btw i'm planning to use Bazzite, idk if it has something to do but if you know other distros that support amd stuff better i'd be glad to know.

I just installed the game using "official method" from minecraft.net. Didn't have any problems with installation, played the game for some time and now I can't find the launcher anywhere.

There is no shortcut on desktop and in /usr/share/applications/ There's no launcher.jar file in the game's directory either.

So... how to launch the game again? It sounds like such a dumb question but I really don't know :|

This is probably a niche issue but after spending hour trying to figure it out might as well post my method to make it work.
First i was trying to make the "reshade for linux" work - https://github.com/kevinlekiller/reshade-steam-proton

After hours of trying different install setting and having no success i tried Running normal reshade through Wine. https://reshade.me/#download

Make sure you select D11/D12 and precede to install it into oblivion
Next you need to set the environmental variable to WINEDLLOVERRIDES ="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" in Heroic Games Launcher or Lutris so that WINEDLLOVERRIDES set in NAMA and "d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" in the Value field ( you dont need the "=" in Heroic).

If you are using Steam run it with Launch Options: WINEDLLOVERRIDES ="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" %command%.

I think the git version of Reshade just simply fails to set the DLL to Dx12 witch causes reshade to not show up in game.

No idea what to do, I see a bunch of tutorials when searching my problem but they are all for windows, I run Bazzite htpc (gnome) for an at home console set-up.

It's completely random and so often that I literally am unable to play and enjoy the game, and it just started yesterday, until yesterday I had played 16 hours no problem with only one random crash that I thought it was classic Bethesda jank, but yesterday morning it went haywire, it's been crashing nonstop, making me unable to do anything, I go a few meters in one direction and then crash, or I play for an hour and then crash.

I tried Nexus mods and different optimizers to no avail.

My system is:

GPU: RX 7600

Cpu: Ryzen 9 8945HS

Ram: 32GB Crucial ddr5

SSD: Kingston 1TB, no idea about specifics.

iGPU: disabled to prevent collisions between dGPU and iGPU.

Playing on 1080p high settings, had (and still have stable) 60FPS until the 16 hour mark when it began crashing.

System specifications via fastfetch and search results of flatpak packages for lutris, gamescope and mangohud

So, I have Lutris installed via flatpak and what I wish to do is use MangoHUD and GameScope with it. The problem is even if I installed the latest version of those software, Lutris doesn't recognize them. I looked around and one answer seemed to be that the branches of the flatpaks should be same as Lutris for it to use them. But as you can see, no package of MangoHUD or GameScope is available under the stable branch, which is the only one Lutris has, so any solutions or workarounds to this?

Hello I am on cachyos and I have Wow installed through Lutris. I have also installed the curseforge linux client.

Most of my mods are working correctly except atlasloot. I tried every versions of atlasloot that exists but none of them shows up in my game.

I have asked the curseforge reddit and also contacted the curseforge support directly but I got no answer so far and I have to reach through different communities to try to have an answer so I’m trying this one since I’m playing on Linux.

Hi everyone, I am the developer of Sokobos 2 and I recently released a demo. It runs natively on Linux and works on Steamdeck as well.

Sokobos 2 is a puzzle game all about small, focused puzzles, designed around "aha!" moments and interesting interactions, rather than overwhelming you with too many objects at screen at once.

If you'd like to play the demo, you can do it here!

All feedback is very welcome!

I'm having issues with none of the games i play locking my mouse in the center of the screen. Causing me to easily be able to just move it to a different monitor. I installed gamescope to try to to fix it, but none of the launch options I've tried have worked. I also tried setting all resolutions the same and scaling to 100% which did nothing. If i turn the other monitors off, i can still move my mouse to the edge of the screen while in game that of course causes issues with looking different directions. Can anyone with experience with this give me some advice on where to go from here? I'll switch distros or whatever I need to do. Worth noting that I do like having more updated packages as I do ML and AI work. I also run AMD so strong NVIDIA support isn't a big deal too me.

There's a lot of dungeon crawlers and deck-builders but Lost For Swords manages to come off a little more unique thanks to the way it shuffles everything together.

I installed the game on Bottles, pasted the Empress crackfix and the game started.

The problem is that the game flickers several times per second from the real screen to a black background, which makes it unplayable.

It bothers me especially because it is a recent problem that has appeared in the last month. I had previously installed the game and it worked.

It happens the same on every version of wine-ge-proton I test.

I have a GTX-1060 with 6 Gb of VRAM and an i5-9600KF

Has anyone had a similar problem and know how to fix it?
