Does Steam download each game entirely in each user session?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Feb 2026 - 5:02pm

It tells me it does, but it sounds extremely inefficient. Maybe there's no way to share files between users, I'm not sure how Linux manages users sessions and how closed and segregated they are. (I'm on Bazzite)

PCs Are Not Suitable for Competitive Gaming

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Feb 2026 - 4:49pm

This is something I've thought about for decades now, but it's only getting more pertinent. Particularly because now Linux runs almost all Windows games very well, except for those with kernel level rootkits for anti-cheat.

Now first, I only game on PC, and Linux specifically. I don't own any consoles and haven't since I was a kid. But the issue we are running into now, is that a personal computer, is meant to be a general purpose computer. It is meant to belong to the user and be able to do any tasks the user wants, within its hardware capability.

Linux is still operating in this manner. Your computer is yours to use, however you want. Windows however has shifted away from that and is trying to shift more. "Your" computer is meant to just be a portal to subscription services and online accounts. Rootkits can be installed, because it isn't really your computer, it's just a tool you use to permit your access to things other people own.

And yet, I can't deny, that when it comes to competitive gaming, there is actually sense to this method. I don't play competitive games with anti-cheat. But I did when I was younger, and I know how much cheating sucks. So it makes sense to have entirely locked down systems like consoles, to make it difficult for cheaters to ruin the game for everyone.

The problem, is this idea of locking down devices, extending to general purpose computers. The concepts are entirely incompatible. The Microsoft solution, is to take away your freedoms and make the general purpose computer, less general purpose, less under your control. But that is entirely in conflict with everything Linux is about. Yet game companies genuinely do need that level of control, otherwise no one will play their games, as they will be filled with cheaters.

So, personally, I see the future of competitive games, being locked down devices only. Personal Computers, if we are still able to buy them at all in a few years, will have to use Linux, because Windows will only get worse, and single player games will be fine, but online multiplayer will be blocked entirely. And it will just be accepted that if you really want to play against other people, you need to buy a specifically locked down, separate device to do so.

WoW Music but no soundeffects

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Feb 2026 - 4:48pm

hi, i got a problem with the WoW sounds on Nobara.

I installed Nobara today. so fresh install.

I installed battle.net through lutris and used my old windows installation files to now download the whole game again(copied them into home folder). game works fine, but the it has no sound effects and voices, but music works. i tried several wine and proton versions.

uninstalled the lutris version and installed it through steam using proton experimental. again no voice or soundeffects, but music. tried latest proton GE same problem.

i did scan and repair in battle.net app.

i tested both ways on headphones and speaker

i hope someone know that problem or has any idea how to solve it. i am searching the whole day to fix it an could not find anything yet.

i updated everything the "update system" software lets me.

System: 5800X3D, 32GB RAM, 6950XT

Ubisoft Connect working trough Heroic Games Launcher

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Feb 2026 - 4:45pm

Went out of my way to test it out after some time and was pleasantly surprised to see that For Honor works trough ubisoft connect trough HGL.

Steps to recreate:
1. Install the ubisoft connect installer from their website
2. Open it trough HGL and get trough the installer, exit after it launches ubiconnect.
3. Add a new game and set the executable to the ubisoftconnect.exe in your prefix folder.
4. I run it with Proton GE 10-29.
Everything should work as normal from now on, log in, install your games and have fun...

NVIDIA’s prime-run was crappy so i made a drop in replacement for it

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Feb 2026 - 3:53pm

Hello gamers, I’ve made a simple script that aims to replace and expand on prime-run for slightly more convinient way of running games without a launcher.

Some may ask why, mostly because I was used to running games on my disk via file manager. Yes, Windows-y thing to do, but I believe I am not alone on that and this aims to be a solution for gaining best performance out of your hardware without relying on the launcher if you don’t like them.

As many people know, prime-run is strictly for offloading rendering to NVIDIA gpus on laptops with integrated and descrete gpus, true. This also supports amd dual gpus and runs gamemode, mangohud, and gamescope if they’re available on your system. Another thing I’ve added is configurarion (on top of the script) for gamescope. Without learning what each parameter does what for gamescope, i’ve made some values so you can just edit and adjust to your needs.

I’m more than happy to hear your feedback on this and how I can improve it further for people that may need this. I’ll make GitHub page more detailed as I improve on it.

All in all, happy gaming! 😁

Swapping from a Nvidia GPU to an AMD GPU

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Feb 2026 - 3:28pm

I'm getting an RX 9060 XT tomorrow, my current GPU is an RTX 3060 and I have the official Nvidia drivers installed I think. Do I need to uninstall my old drivers like on windows or anything else? What about my precompiled shaders from steam?

Is my game ready for the Steam Next Fest? [Demo available]

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Feb 2026 - 2:45pm

Hello,

We are 20 days away from the Steam Next Fest and I am in that phase where I'm looking at my Steam page and wondering if it’s actually good at all.

For those of you who like the MOBA genre, It would be great if you could give some advice or feedback about my game and my Steam page: Does it make you want to try it out?

  • The Capsule: Is the art good at all?
  • The Trailer: Is it engaging enough?
  • The Demo (Most important part), If you have the time to try (size <300mb)

Adversator on Steam:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4072270/Adversator/

I have a limited window to try to polish everything before the Fest starts.

Thanks in advance for the help!
