I've already tried changing the Proton version, using Lutris, and some initialization commands, but nothing works. I'm using an Nvidia GPU (RTX 4060) and I've updated all possible drivers, but it's still stuck on the Rockstar launcher loading screen. I tried searching online but found nothing. Does anyone have a solution? The kernel version I'm using is 6.12.57+deb13-amd64.

Zordeer and Meganimus are game launchers; Zordeer for Wine/Proton and Meganimus for native and emulator games.

This version is primarily to fix bugs and improve the organization of shortcuts created in the menu.

Now Zordeer and Meganimus can create their own category in the application menu, making the games category more organized.

If you want to test them, here are the links to the latest version:

Zordeer: https://github.com/Kyuyrii/Zordeer/releases/tag/1.4

Meganimus: https://github.com/Kyuyrii/Meganimus/releases/tag/1.4

I switched from Linux to Mint Cinnamon a couple months ago, and I've been trying to make Persona 4 Golden work (pre-packaged version running through Steam, using Proton 9.0-4), and while the game does start and can be played, it won't run any cutscenes. Any time one is supposed to start, such as right after the P Studio logo appears or when I press new game, the screen goes fully black and then the game throws itself off of fullscreen and shows this:

I'm able to continue playing by pressing Alt and then closing the little window that pops up, but the cutscenes are completely busted. Is this a known problem, and more to the point, is there a solution to it? I'm running an AMD graphics card, if that helps pin down this issue in any way.

Hi there, i'm genuinely going insane here, i have several issues trying to switch to Linux, so i'll list them, and then explain what i tried to do to fix them:

1. Games do not work as intended, when i connect my second screen (vertical 4k panel scaled to 130%) they start showing weird resolutions. I kinda fixed that one by setting my secondary pannel to 100% scale, but it lead to my next issue. Before that, i tried using gamescope, but it was bad since it was locking me away from steam overlay, and following that, locks me from using steam input, which is required for some games i play
2. Everything on second screen is now very small (kinda self explanatory), did not occur until i set the scale to 100%, (duh), but now is an issue.
3. Games look worse. Might be placebo, but they genuinely look less sharp that on windows. I have a 1440p main screen.
4. cant snap apps on my vertical monitor, the zones are vertical, unlike on windows, where on vertical monitor, app zones are horizontal
5. Games have different colors than on windows??? I have no idea why, but it's not monitor settings, since i took screenshots in the same place on both OS'es, and they look different (this one i especially noticed in Wuthering Waves)
6. Cursor is getting stuck between monitors. There is some kind of border between monitors, and i really have to intentionally move my mouse through it.
7. No clue how to get FSR4 to work, and i am on a 9070XT, so it should work.

I tried both the newset CachyOS, and Nobara 43, both on current KDE. I was really excited to switch to linux, since windows is annoying me so much, but i just can't get things to work :(

I'm switching to Linux

So I got bored and frustrated about constant windows advertising and spyware tools they use, it uses more than half of my ram and nearly %10 of my CPU by just sitting on the home screen, I'll be switching to EndeavourOS cuz I once tried arch on my vm and it made me see nightmares (literally). I'm using a W11 home hp laptop, it has the omen gaming hub in it, It's nice to control fan speed but I'm curious if it stays on the last mode I switched on? If it's okay to set it in normal mode for the motherboard to decide the desired fan speed? If I switch the performance mode on and if it somehow stays like that, does my fans gonna sound like a helicopter all the time? I can't use dual boot because I only have 500gb of space and Windows takes like half of it already. I'll be using KDE plasma for easy start, compatibility with most apps and games and high customisation. I'm open to ideas and help. 🙏

Gamejolt has a native Linux launcher/app yet the only thig that it is capable of doing is to just search for game's with Linux versions. Sure, when Proton wasn't really a thing yet at the moment it was good for Gamejolt to have the feature to search for Linux native games but rn Proton is just good enough to the point where you can play 90% of any game's on the internet. So, why haven't they added Proton support yet?

Samsung NP370R5E - The Edison Way The Naked Wine approach on a 12-year-old laptop

This is a TRUE Green Profile – a way to escape Microsoft’s "knife to the throat" and their bottomless greed. It is time to finally put those old laptops, mini-PCs, and Windows boxes to good use again.

Prepare for TRUE LINUX FREEDOM. This is how you play games on Linux without the complexity of Lutris, Steam, or other tangled runners.

The Journey Begins

I have spent days in an endless battle with layers and runners in Lutris, trying to make the most of my hardware. I started with a Voyo i7, which was a fair starting point for a Linux learning journey. Taking that experience, I turned my attention to an even older beast: a Samsung NP370R5E from late 2013.

Equipped with an Intel HD4000 and a Radeon 8750M, I simply installed the Wine framework (Naked Wine), configured the parameters, and built a handful of bash scripts.

The breakthrough happened this morning. While making a lunchbox for my youngest daughter on her last day of school before Christmas, enjoying a cup of coffee and a freshly baked Lussekatt, I set up the environment for:

“The Lord of the Rings Online” (LotRO).

2. Visual Quality vs. Performance: The "Golden Standard" 6

3. Solving the "Impossible" Store Crash 7

4. Thermal Victory 8

All the while i had installed and setup my environment to run:

“The Lord of the Rings Online u/2007 by Standing Stone Games” a J.R.R. Tolkien universe

With fantastic scenery and nice gameplay in many various ways to enjoy and embark on a journey somewhat like Bilbo Baggins “There and back again”

Here is my revolution in simple words and screenshots to prove what i am trying to learn you something worth trying out on a Bootable USB Stick with your Linux Distro of choice and once you are finished with the Live Setup of Linux, just get the device up on the best internet connection you can provide, preferably with a cable connection, but a decent wifi does the thing too. Lotro - short for “The Lord of The Rings Online mmorpg” called lotro from here on!

This voyage could begin with a Bootable USB Stick with a Linux distro of your choice and just install and get online, preferably with cable to get quick access to the servers, but a decent WiFi will do for most of you.

When your newly installed Linux is finished with Live Setup rebooted without the usb-stick in place and is confirmed ONLINE just start here and follow these simple steps to find out why on earth no one has never done this before!

Have a nice trip ya all <3

To make this old Samsung perform like a modern gaming station, we stripped away the "scripted nonsense" and went straight to the hardware.

1. The Power of "Naked Wine" and Selective Hardware

https://preview.redd.it/e7mt2ky4c78g1.png?width=1110&format=png&auto=webp&s=d511b02f9dae908350851bac30ef12f4bf6fb6b5

The Brain of the Operation: My custom Bash script. This demonstrates how I force the system to utilize the Radeon GPU using DRI_PRIME=1, bypassing heavy runners for a pure, native-like gaming experience.

2. Visual Quality vs. Performance: The "Golden Standard"

https://preview.redd.it/o9qmvg75c78g1.png?width=1365&format=png&auto=webp&s=355f43990721c30178861bb7a9d5d22cdbaa67d8

Visual Magic with FSR: By running the game at 1024x768 and utilizing Wine's FSR upscaling to 1366x768, we achieve a crisp image without overstressing the 12-year-old CPU.

https://preview.redd.it/jguyex25c78g1.png?width=1366&format=png&auto=webp&s=8d21f45ca170d58d9b48b2d7e42db0327f796769

3. Solving the "Impossible" Store Crash

https://preview.redd.it/jesnr415c78g1.png?width=1365&format=png&auto=webp&s=94f16c15c06863fa64957b50f7a90dd30b30becd

Freedom from Crashes: By offloading the LotRO Store to Firefox, we’ve eliminated the main source of Linux instability. Here you see the store running perfectly in an external browser.

4. Thermal Victory

https://preview.redd.it/80obggz4c78g1.png?width=662&format=png&auto=webp&s=3075c4070ded9da5cbe15c04dae29d216dd46de3

Proof of the 'Green Profile': The htop log confirms temperatures holding steady at 66-67°C. We’ve proven that you can play LotRO without jet-engine fan noise or thermal throttling.

Hey folks,

Quick experience share regarding Borderlands 4 performance on Linux vs Windows.

I tested the game on CachyOS and Fedora 43, and noticed something interesting when comparing NVIDIA vs AMD.

Short version:

• With my old RTX 2070, Linux performance was pretty close to Windows • With my current AMD RX 9070 XT, the gap is way bigger • On Linux, FPS is lower and frametimes are all over the place compared to Windows

Specs:

• i7-11700 • RX 9070 XT (previously RTX 2070) • 32 GB RAM • 2560×1440 @ 144 Hz • CachyOS / Fedora 43 • Latest kernel + latest Mesa

This happens on both distros, so it doesn’t seem distro-specific.

Feels more like a driver / RDNA4 maturity thing than a game issue.

Not here to bash Linux or AMD — just sharing real-world results.

Curious if other RX 9070 XT / RDNA4 users see the same, or if there are tweaks that helped.

Cheers 🍻

Important:
I don't know it is safe. but is risk for ban
I'm not responsible if you get banned. Do so at your own risk.

What you need to work
- Know how to block DNS
- Private LAN Room for your friends

Guide:
Add to host file this ip adress to block this:
0.0.0.0 paradiseenhanced-s1.battleye.com - (For Enhanced Version)
0.0.0.0 paradise-s1.battleye.com - (For Legacy Version)
0.0.0.0 test-s1.battleye.com - (I don't know what it is but u can try it)

If u want block all connection with battleye:
*.battleye.com - (That not works on host file. find program who can block all ip adress)

Create Lobby LAN:
I use for that hamachi but you can use other program to Create Lobby LAN

Install Proton Battleye Runtime:
This can bypass info about something "You don't have Battleye"

GTA V Launch Options:
Add this PROTON_BATTLEYE_RUNTIME=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ BattlEye\ Runtime/ %command%

What next:
Launch it. Join to Story Mode after this Join to GTA Online to Only For Invited Session and Enjoy.

If your friend using windons:
He same add block dns battleye and join to your Lobby LAN.

Remember you should be host session

Know issue:
Can random moments kicked with reason "You don't have Battleye" or "Can not get information about session" Ignore that and create new session only for invited

Tutorial in Video:
Soon.

As the title suggests, I’m wondering if there is an alternative app that allows for dynamic control of my monitors display settings similar to AMD Adrenaline’s Custom Color settings?

Im running CachyOS (dual-booted) with a 7900XTX, and on windows I can use adrenaline to change brightness, contrast, saturation on the fly. I’ve looked into the KDE settings to try to tweak these values but to no avail.

If there’s anything like this, please enlighten me as I like Arc Raiders to have a bit more color than games stock values.

So after dealing with random microstutter on Windows for a long time, I finally decided to try something different. I tried everything on Windows — drivers, settings, tweaks, fresh installs — but I could never fully get rid of the stuttering. At some point it just became too frustrating.

A few weeks ago I switched to Linux gaming, specifically Fedora 43, mostly out of curiosity and desperation. And honestly… I’m pretty happy so far. The installation was also absolutely easy. Just install linux and all drivers are already installed. Download Steam, Download ProtonPlus and lets go.

All of my main games run really well:

• Diablo 4
• ARC Raiders
• Dead by Daylight
• Sons of the Forest
• Palworld

I know Anti Cheat Games not work but i also keep my Windows as Dual Boot.

Performance feels smooth, input feels responsive, and most importantly: I don’t notice the microstutter that plagued me on Windows. Frame pacing just feels more consistent overall. I wasn’t expecting such a noticeable difference.

Of course it’s not perfect and there’s still some tinkering involved, but for my use case it’s been a very positive experience.

Has anyone else switched to Linux because of stuttering issues on Windows and noticed similar improvements?

Setup:
GPU: 7900 XT
CPU: 3700x (i know, bottleneck. in a few days my 5700x will arrive)
RAM: 32 GB 3200 mhz
SSD

Tried it on a bottle, asked to install C++ Redistributable, installed both via its own option and dependencies, still crashed.

Also somehow now every game in that bottle crashes (whatever the game did, broke the whole thing I guess), so switched to another bottle, installed Silent Hill F again.

Installed MS C++ via dependencies in bottles, now I get:

"A D3D11-compatible GPU (Feature Level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0) is required to run the engine."

GPU is AMD 7900xtx.

Also it's the GOG version.

Edit: Switching to soda-9.0-1 and adding "-savetouserdir %" works. Though idk what happened to the bottle that broke.

Edit 2: Seems like mangohud update at least partially is responsible.

Edit 3: Also soda-experimental_8.0 is broken, and it seems like there's a github issue about how this shouldn't be suggested.

Edit 4: Also another suggested update, dxvk-2.7.1-7-21eb344 breaks the game Tunic, switching to dxvk-2.5.3 works.

Edit 5: Apparently the mangohud issue is isolated to this single bottle for some reason.

Edit 6: Mmm, seems to be an issue related to the game Noita on when on "Fullscreen (real)" setting, not the whole bottle.

Hey guys! I'm a solo developer working on Tyto.

It's really important to me to make sure it runs smoothly on native Linux, no Proton required.

While the game already runs on native Linux, I currently don't have any Linux-based playtesters.

If you'd like to help me (and the Linux gaming community), please join Tyto's playtesting Discord server and I'll send you a key.
If you'd rather not join the server, you can also DM me or leave a comment.

Thank you so much!

this is an extremely niche issue that i honestly am not sure what i can do about. I'm a vintage computer nerd, i recently picked up a gx270, a computer from 2000 that has a pentium 4 and 1gb of ram. on systems like these I prefer to run linux because being a computer nerd it just gives me a lot a freeway with the computer and also allows me to run more modern software. subsequently, i also have many pc cd-rom games like age of empires and the sims, however these games are of course not made to be ran on a linux computer. I was considering wine however I am worried about the implications of emulation on such old hardware so i wanted to see if anyone else had done anything similar and if anyone has any ideas on how i can play my cd games on my linux system. thanks!
