I am looking to get/make a box that I can hook up to my TV and play my Steam games, as well as other things like PC decompilations of older games, Zelda randomizers, etc. I want it to boot up like a console, giving me a menu of games to choose from, and be turned on and navigated with a controller. It doesn't need to be especially powerful either, as all I need it to play is mostly indie games, and new versions of older games. I figured Linux is the way to go if I want a customizable UI, but A) does something like this already exist that I can buy? Or at least get me halfway there? And B) where should I start with this idea? I am a bit clueless about Linux in all honesty

Hi All,

I have had the same PC for at least 5 years, it was a pre-built windows PC I installed Arch on, while it has been a great PC, I am looking at building my own Linux gaming PC. I was hoping to get some feedback to see if my proposed build would be suitable.

I will likely install Arch again but I have an urge to try something different, open to suggestions, I am thinking either Void or openSUSE.

Thanks

Does anyone have an idea as to what the problem could be? I've been googling for about 30 minutes and the documentation for this issue is very limited (and dated). I am using antiX Linux Full (64-bit).

Hey, sorry in advance if this is the wrong place/way to post this. I believe I’m having the same issue posted here a few weeks ago. The solution presented in that post worked, disabling “igd multi monitor” in BIOS lets the game open up perfectly, but I’m wondering if there is another solution. I use my integrated graphics for my second monitor so I would prefer to not disable it if possible. Does anyone know of an alternative solution?

I’m not sure what information I need to include, but the following may be relevant- I’m running Kubuntu 25.04 and my GPU is a gtx 1050. I have the latest (I think) nvidia drivers installed, 575. I also tried with 570. I use -dx12 as a launch option and my proton version is GE-Proton10-9, which is the only proton version I could get to even open the game, but I also didn’t try anything before proton 8 as I got frustrated and figured anything else was probably too old anyway.

I use steam for exactly one game (dark souls 3) when I play with my brothers, and compared to everything else I find it most annoying to start up - steam and the game itself work fine, but i neither need nor want 2-5 pop-ups and an entire game store im never touching again to start up every time I press play in Lutris and then keep running after we're done playing. That whole production is also just slow compared to my other games, on top of being unnecessary. Is there some way around this? Through different launchers/apps or changing settings in Steam itself, I don't really care so long as it works. The less Steam I have to look at to get to the game the better. I'm on Void if thats relevant.

Hi guys, I wanted to share that I've found out after digging deep and deep about Steam Tinker Launch!
Steam Tinker Launch is like a Pre-Launch software that when you launch a Steam game, it will pop up and ask you how to customize the launch. You'll have access to all basic things like custom commands etc, but also to the possibility to "fork" the exe. Which means launching two exes, one for the game and one for the background.
You will need to have a "portable" cheat engine folder. Which means taking it from somewhere you have installed it (install on a vm or windows -> get the folder -> place it on your machine).
Cheat engine will recognize among the processes the game you've launched and you can happily cheat!

I spent days looking for using the speed hack and stuff until I found this solution.

You have to install it as compatibility layer, then on your game from library set it as custom compatibility option.

Then, if you need to use a specific version of proton for your game you'll be able to do it from Steam Tinker directly.

Hope this will help!

Hi all, seeing how viable making the jump over to linux is.

Is there any easy way to see what games are and are not compatible with the linux OS? I understand GTA V and Rainbow 6 are not, I can live without these two but need to make sure that I am not going to make the switch just to find out I have to swtich back...

TL;DR: League of Legends is no longer playable on Linux because Riot is now enforcing Vanguard, a kernel-level anti-cheat that doesn’t work with Wine/Proton. I’m using Bazzite + Lutris + Wine-GE, and the installer asks me to reboot for Vanguard, which breaks the setup. Looking for help or workarounds (VM passthrough, hacks, anything).

Hey everyone, I’m having trouble getting League of Legends to run on Linux, specifically using the Bazzite KDE distribution (Fedora-based and gaming-optimized).

What I’ve tried:

I’m using Lutris with Wine-GE (latest version).

I installed League via the official Lutris script.

The installation starts fine, but at some point the Riot Client asks me to restart the system to finish installing Riot Vanguard.

The problem:

After Vanguard installs and the reboot is requested, if I restart the system, the Lutris/Wine prefix breaks, and I can’t continue the setup.

Vanguard is a kernel-level anti-cheat (same as Valorant), which obviously doesn’t work under Wine/Proton/Linux.

I’ve already tried deleting the entire wineprefix, reinstalling from scratch, using the latest Wine-GE, and no change — it always installs Vanguard and breaks.

My question(s):

I understand that League used to run fine under Wine until recently. But now that Vanguard is enforced, it seems completely blocked.

Is there any known workaround to get LoL working on Linux with Vanguard?

Has anyone managed to run League of Legends with Vanguard in a VM via GPU passthrough (VFIO)?

Any hacky DXVK tricks, Wine registry edits, or sandbox bypasses that work despite Vanguard?

Does Riot plan any compatibility for Linux or at least VMs in the future?.

I got Kingdom Come Deliverance during the summer sale and I am just now getting around to playing it. When I first launched it, the game had audio and everything worked fine. However, I changed the graphics settings to show the right resolution for my second monitor, and that has resulted in a VERY weird issue. Whenever the game is running, absolutely zero audio plays. Not only is the game completely silent, but the entire computer, Playing a YouTube video then launching the game just pauses is showing a loading icon. Audio files are completely silent. Whenever I change the volume using the media keys on my keyboard or using the icon in the system tray, it is massively delayed. What in the world is going on here and how can I fix it?

Hello recently i downloaded The Finals, despite reviews saying that it works well on linux i still needed to spend a while finding a Proton version that worked because it crashed when loading into a match. After finding a Proton version that worked i quickly discovered that the game would crash mid game in only two matches.

Hi Folks,

I am a complete beginner to Linux gaming (actually, almost all PC gaming) and only just installed Linux Mint this past winter. I've watched a lot of videos about Linux gaming and have a basic question about installing a game which I purchased on Steam. Right now, it's sitting in my Library on Steam. The next step is for me to install it on my PC.

Question 1 It is asking me in which directory I want to install it. Will the Linux operating system/file system "know" which directory to install the game, or will I have to specify the directory? If so, in which directory should I install the game?

Question 2 I am thinking of installing the game, FreeCiv. For Linux users, the version on the download site is an AppImage. How does one install an AppImage? (I am on Linux Mint, Cinnamon edition.) (This is one of the major things I am having to get used to on Linux: the many different ways there are to install programs. It's not like the old Windows world where one would just click on the installation file and off she went!)

Thank you for any assistance you provide.

Calling all Steam/Proton experts here. I have good repeat rate set using xset, but these settings do not make it into proton environment. On windows I used to tweak those with regedit.

Note I'm running battle.net launcher from steam, and launching SC2 from there. The whole question is basically about SC2 rapidfire on Linux.

I've been at this for days and nothing i'm trying is working, if anyone has any advice i would greatly appreciate it!

PC Details: distro │ Arch Linux x86_64

kernel │ Linux 6.15.7-arch1-1

kitty 0.42.2

shell │ bash 5.3.0

cpu │ AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (16) z

gpu | Radeon 9070xt

What I have tried so far:

Have tried both portproton and lutris both have the same issue with wine when installing games. Everything will download fine, but at the game setup/install stage wine hangs and i have to abort the install.

I have removed and reinstalled lutris, wine, winetricks, wine-mono, wine-gecko, dotnet48, 32bit dependencies etc.. multiple times.

I have tried installing the wine-staging-git and manually building.

I have downloaded specific versions of wine-mono and installed that specifically to a wineprfix, the installer did make some progress following this but ultimately crashed and again didnt work.

I am at my wits end with this, i can't play any of my games (cyberpunbk) on GOG, EA, ubisoft etc...

Steam works perfectly fine though.

What it says on the tin, basically--been playing warframe a loooong time and on windows i get 100+ FPS smooth as silk regardless of the content i do, but under linux regardless of what version of proton (tried several normal and GE versions, tried the cachyOS version) or settings/configs ive tried, i get 40fps or less in regular content, and like 10-20 in any of the 1999 content, and it stutters pretty badly. nearly every other game ive tried has run perfectly fine and comparable to windows.

i have an RTX 3060, on arch with latest everything. ive set warframe to DX11 in the launcher settings, ive played with graphical settings and no matter what i try there is something fundamentally wrong that doesnt appear to effect anyone posting on protonDB or elsewhere
