Why I said this because I remembered around 2012 or so when I was started linux it was a very small market share mainly because no programs and good alternatives really work on Linux especially gaming itself so it was nearly impossible to switch. I remembered watching videos like Spatry cup of linux and dixie (I don't remember the channel name) played a good role in linux back then. so it was a wild ride around 10s and early 20s. so when I say Linux is turning into chrome, I mean its going to rock it up there soon like the browser wars like with chrome did. YouTubers like Pewdiepie and several others already choosing linux now which is a good step and there recommending linux also!

never give up hope! the OS Revolution is starting! :)

I've installed a windows game to the "C drive" using steam to load the setup.exe.

I can see the game when I use winetricks and I can browse its directories and files from the winetricks window. I can load the game this way too just fine.

How do I find the folder in dolphin explorer? I'd like to be able to change the setup.exe in Steam to the actual game executable. I assumed it'd be in ./wine in my home directory but it isn't there. I've also looked in the steam directory but it's not there either, just the games I've installed from my Steam library.

Any ideas?

Super happy to share this news with you all! I have been posting from time to time as we have been developing the game having Linux in our plans since the inception. Our current demo works on Linux and the release version will work on Linux :)

We still have some work to do to have it working better on Steam Deck. It runs smoothly but some texts are still a bit small, but as a Steam Deck user myself I'm keeping this in our radar because I know how amazing the SD community is.

For more context, the game is called Into The Grid and you can find it here.

Into The Grid is a deckbuilder and dungeon crawler set in a cyberpunk universe where you take the role of hackers infiltrating corporate servers and exploring cyberspace!

Gave BPSR a shot today and had a surprisingly smooth experience. The game feels like a mix of Lost Ark and Black Desert with an anime aesthetic.

Setup & Performance:

• Running on Proton Experimental
• Generally smooth performance after a few hours of play
• One crash so far (unclear if Proton-related or game issue)
• Combat feels responsive, no noticeable lag

The art style is solid if you're into the anime MMO vibe.

Question for other Linux players: Any launch options or tweaks you'd recommend?

For context, this is an MMO with typical genre mechanics, so your mileage may vary depending on whether that's your thing.

NVIDIA just revealed more GPU driver security issues and so you should make sure you’re up to date.

What’s the current status of the open-source NVIDIA drivers?
The last time I tested them on my 160Hz monitor, they only allowed 100Hz — both on a 4060 Ti and a 5070 Ti.

How big is the difference compared to NVIDIA’s proprietary drivers?

The screen resolution is 2K 21:9.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 & American Truck Simulator: DLC "KRONE Agriculture Equipment" released https://playingtux.com/articles/euro-truck-simulator-2-american-truck-simulator-dlc-krone-agriculture-equipment-released?lang=en #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming

Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition: Patch 89.8193.37-17 released https://playingtux.com/articles/neverwinter-nights-enhanced-edition-patch-89819337-17-released?lang=en #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming

I'm trying to install Mod Organizer 2 on Steam Deck to mod Skyrim Special Edition. However, when I try to open it, it opens Protontricks, and then when I select Skyrim Special Edition, it closes Protontricks and nothing happens. I followed a YouTube tutorial, and I don't think I did anything wrong. The Steam Deck is my first experience with Linux, and I'm not too sure what I could be missing

I'm thinking to switch linux. I have rtx 4070 and looking for right distro for me. So I started researching.. checking reddits, guides, youtube videos etc. I thought linux has better performance than windows but I checked the benchmarks and these results don't look good.

Hey!

I was trying today to update my SN30 pro but I really really did not want to install windows just for it. So instead I fell into a rabbit hole. Thanks to this post and the amazing contributions from r/lLadis and r/floemuc I got inspired and tried to make a python script to automate the process as much as possible.

You can find it here. It also has a scraper to get all the models and types to be able to update the list of compatible models with the script.

If it helps just one person, I'll be super honored!

SteamOS was never designed to be a general desktop distro. It's highly specialized, immutable and outdated in many aspects.

Why do people keep saying this when objectively better distros already exist?

Like the title says. I'm gonna be a Windows refugee.
I use my desktop mainly for Gaming and surfing the web. Mostly Steam games, but a couple of Epic ones too. I play with Xbox One controllers for both, for most games, and i've heard Linux can have issues gaming peripherals. As well as having issues with Nvidia video cards (which i also have).
Never used Linux before (as a operating system), so i need help with a step by step walkthrough of what i need to do to make sure most everything transfers over to Linux as much as possible. There are a few windows features (Wordpad, and the rarely seen Word Processor) that are the most important, and few other things i hope to make the transfer over.
Any help is appreciated! Whats the best version i need?

Edit 1: I use Wireless Xbox One controllers. I've been told i may need to mess with something Bluetooth related to get that to work? Is this true? Who else games on Linux this way though Steam, what did you do?

Edit 2: Here is some of the Tech details i have.

Processor; Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10600K CPU @ 4.10GHz 4.10 GHz

Installed RAM; 16.0 GB (15.9 GB usable)

Storage; 466 GB SSD CT500P5SSD8, 932 GB SSD Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB

Graphics Card; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER (6 GB)

My OS: Ubuntu 24.04 Wayland GNOME My Monitor: UWQHD 3440×1440

X GNOME Display Settings do not support 1720x720. X

1. My Ubuntu GNOME Display Settings (Integer HiDPI) is at 200%: The game runs at 3440×1440. The graphics are good, but the game is too slow and the FPS is low.

2. My Ubuntu GNOME Display Settings (Fractional Scaling, HiDPI) is at 200%: The game runs at 1720×720. The game is fast and the FPS is high, but the graphics are a mess and the fonts are distorted to the point of being unbearable.

What about a 4K monitor? If I use a 4K monitor, lower the GNOME resolution to FHD (1920×1080), and then play the game, will the graphic quality be good?
