Rocking Ubuntu 25.04 with Gnome and 3x monitors. Naturally game is on middle monitor.

I can't quite identify why but it's pretty often the mouse loses focus on the game and lands on another monitor. Naturally I can't do things like fire my gun, move, etc, when this happens.

Get 90FPS regularly, might be performance related, but unsure.

Anyone have any ideas on this one? It does not happen with other games at all.

Hey so as the title says, a few months back I bought the MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI for my computer. I didn't think anything of it at the time in terms of compatibility as it fit all my other needs perfectly. However, I'm only just learning right now that it might not be able to use wifi on linux due to lacking drivers or something like that. Is that true? Does anyone here have a MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI in their PC that knows a workaround if that is the case? Any tips?

Some games won't launch on Garuda 😥

I'm having trouble launching certain games on my PC, I freshly installed Garuda roughly 3x days ago.

So not all games work out of the box, at least in my experience and I'm trying to resolve the issue. I am able to launch and play some games without problem like Cyberpunk 2077 and CS2. But when I try to launch Arc Raiders, Silent Hill f, or Elden Ring, steam will say [Launching] and shortly [Running] and instantly crashing without a window popping up.

Has anyone had any problems with this?

Edit I am trying to launch from a secondary SSD and the filesystem is ext4, not ntfs

Im being gifted an RX 6800 and ryzen 5 7600 so I'm building a PC around it. Should have all my parts by Christmas. The only dilemma is what OS to use...

I've successfully ran arch, Garuda and Debian on several desktops and laptops in the past and would like to continue using linux. Right now all I have is a steam deck and I won't be able to hide away and play my new desktop much because I have a 2 year old and 3 other kids that require attention and might destroy my desktop lol.

I need to be able to stream to my deck. I've already done a few searches but most of what I see are 2-3yr old posts and I'm looking for info on if steam remote play or moonlight is viable these days? If not I might just go with windows for now, sadly.

Thanks for any help!

I'm new to Linux Mint and while searching online for how to play my games, I discovered the Heroic Game Launcher. Some of them opened normally without any problems (via Proton downloaded in the Heroic app), but Rocket League has the problem shown in the photos; it simply won't open. Is it a problem with the game's settings? Or does my PC just not run it and I need to buy more RAM? I have 8GB of RAM and an integrated graphics card. It's quite basic, but it ran fine on my neighbor's very similar PC.

Hey all, for context i have a 5090/9800x3d running hyprland on arch. I have a gsync 175hz monitor with gsync enabled in the hyprland config. I have the frame limiter set to 170.

The problem I’m having is with the mangohud frame limiter. In most games it works great, no issues, but for some reason in the finals the frame limiter works perfectly in the shooting range, but if I actually get in a game the limiter works sometimes, but other times my fps will go above the limiter, often by a significant margin. When this happens I get bad stuttering. I have tried almost all goverlay options, late/early method, different vsync options, all different launch options, gsync on and off, I am at my wits end. I have a workaround using vkd3d framerate limiter, but the mangohud limiter feels better when it is working properly (could be just in my head, but feels smoother) Also it seems like the future of that frame limiting method is uncertain? Could be wrong though. Also space marine 2 is very choppy when i use the mangohud limiter, but smooth with vkd3d limiter. Is there something I can do to make it work properly? Any help would be huge. Thanks

I got a B580 and the 1650 and their drivers on my Ubuntu 25.04. I can game normally on the 1650, but I cant with the B580. It seems that the 1650 is prohibiting the B580 to be used because when I do prime-select intel I can use the B580, but then I lose the 1650. My HDMI is on the 1650. I am using Lutris to launch my games and I tried both the GPU selection from Lutris as well as the DXVK_DEVICE_FILTER_NAME=Intel environment variable, but I get err: DxvkInstance::createInstance: Failed to create Vulkan instance err: Failed to initialize DXVK.

I opened an issue on DXVK, but we got to the conclusion that the drivers are fighting (https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/5334).

What is interesting is that I can use both cards together for AI using Vulkan.

Any ideas on how to get my B580 to game?

HI, im struggling to run fragpunk-game with Phanuel Anti-Cheat, according to protondb game runs fine but when i click play on steam game start to load anticheat thingy and after ~20% it crashes, from log i get errors

Linux VR is almost ready there are issues (Like Steam VR crashing on startup) but it works really well with my Quest 3S. My PrismXR router and its software works (The software is ran under the Heroic Games Launcher via proton ge) and over all I'm looking forward to the Steam Frame. From when Valve quietly opened up Steam Link VR to Linux users till now it shows Valve cares about choice in where and how you want to play your games.

Problems

Can't view desktop in headset.

Sometimes Audio doesn't work (On HTC Vive Focus Vision audio not working is even more of an issue)

And Steam VR has and will crash (I have no addons as of now)

When it comes to the games ether native to Linux or Windows via proton I haven't found a game in my library that doesn't work but in all of them Steam Overlays don't work when Steam Dashboard is closed (including notifications).

Why do I have to still use Windows?

My Vive Focus Vision in display port mode doesn't work under Linux and some of the software I use doesn't work under Linux so for games like VRChat I still have to use Windows

I'm trying to run Stellaris modded, but whenever I try to do so it crashes or freezes before it gets to the main menu. If I do it with Proton it almost always crashes before the main menu, but after it finished loading (I think) and generates no crash files (at least not that I can find). But sometimes, maybe once every ten attempts, the game does get to the main menu. I've tried eliminating mods by halves, but it's never the same mod that causes it. One mod can cause the crash, but then start working and another starts causing trouble. I've tried running it natively, or different versions of Proton, including Experimental and GE, and that makes little difference. Running the game vanilla works without issue though. I've modded Stellaris before on Windows, heavier modlists than the one I'm trying to run today, with no problems there. I'd really appreciate some help, I've been stuck on this for like 2 months.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for help with a performance issue on Ubuntu 25.10.

I’m using the Flatpak version of MCPE Launcher and trying to run it on my dedicated NVIDIA GPU (Intel CPU + NVIDIA dGPU setup). I’ve successfully forced the launcher to start with the dedicated GPU, and nvidia-smi even shows the process running on it. However, the performance is extremely poor — I’m getting around 20 FPS on average, making the game almost unplayable.

I’ve already tried several common fixes: forcing the NVIDIA GPU globally, adjusting permissions with Flatseal, modifying launch arguments, and various suggestions I found online. None of these have made any difference.

I’m facing a similar situation with Waydroid, but from what I’ve seen, almost nobody has managed to run it smoothly on NVIDIA hardware anyway.

Has anyone dealt with this issue or found a reliable workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Some Counter-Strike: Source servers still use the old CELT audio codec, which breaks voice chat on Linux. To fix it, just replace your vaudio_celt.so file with a patched one.

VirusTotal

1. Download the patched file:
MediaFire Link to vaudio_celt.so file

2. Go to your CSS bin folder:

~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Source/bin/

3. Replace the old file:
Rename the downloaded file to:

vaudio_celt.so

Then overwrite the existing one.

4. Make it executable

chmod +x ~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike\ Source/bin/vaudio_celt.so submitted by /u/SUPA-Goose

I have some games that I don't own through steam. for the absolute life of me I could not get them to run properly through lutris or heroic. in either app I was playing whackamole and ultimately getting nowhere. now I've started using PortProton and it gets games to start beautifully. however I cannot get audio in prerendered cutscenes no matter what version of proton or proton GE I try plugging into it.

I've put GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK=protonaudioconverterbin:NONE %command% in the launch parameters and I've been gettting nowhere. my audio drivers are updated. my sound settings are set to pure plain ol' stereo so there's no middle channel for it to try sending it through.

the two games I've been focused on trying to get the audio working in are The Outer Worlds 2 and Eriksholm. I'm really at my wits end here and am considering keeping my windows 11 dual boot just for games I don't own through steam. but that's a workaround I'd rather not do, as I'd like to eventually uninstall it and go pure linux.

hardware info included below- I'm also on the latest version of linux mint.

if you can help me solve this I'll name my first child after you. the only caveat is I don't plan on having children, but you never know what'll happen. Thank you for your time, attention, and expertise.
