Greetings all!

I’ve just installed Kubuntu on a separate SSD on my PC, which has been running Windows 10 for years. I’m now dual-booting between the two.

I saw several videos suggesting that it’s possible to install Linux and simply point the Linux version of Steam to an existing game library on another drive. I tried this by linking my Linux Steam installation to the HDD where my Windows Steam library is stored. However, I’m not satisfied with the results — some games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain do load, but the frame rate and graphics performance are terrible, practically a slideshow.

I suspect this might have something to do with my graphics drivers, but since this is my first time using Linux, I’m not entirely sure how to proceed. Any advice would be deeply appreciated!

System Specs:

Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (dual-boot with Kubuntu)

Processor: 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-11700K @ 3.60GHz (16 CPUs, ~3.6GHz)

Memory: 32 GB RAM

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

DirectX Version: 12

Storage Setup:

128 GB SSD – Windows 10

1 TB SSD – Kubuntu

6 TB HDD – Steam Library & RetroArch

Hey guys. Recently bought a new pc. Took the nvme with my games from my old windows pc and put it into my new pc. Steam didnt really start the games on my old drive, with some help from chatgpt I added some pointers on a local drive and got the games to start, but i never was able to make the mods load. Pc gaming without mods is for me a no go so i just went back to windows. That was half a year ago. Now win10 is pretty much eol, so i gotta think about what to do. I stilm have dual boot activated and can load up my linux. Does anyone know why my mods didnt load? Do i have to format my drive and reinstall all games and then it works? Or do mods and mod loaders just not work with linux? Tried tales of berseria, monster hunter world and code vein for example

The latest Box64 0.3.8 release focuses squarely on performance and compatibility. The headline feature, DynaCache, introduces a disk-based cache for native code generation that dramatically cuts program load times and reduces runtime hiccups—especially noticeable in titles like Factorio on Linux.

Hi guys!

My laptop model is HP Victus 15-fb0xxx. It's promoted as a gaming laptop.

I'm a long time Linux user. I have Pop_OS! as my main daily OS. (Windows 10 is partially installed afterwards with dual booting which I never use unless necessary. Also running windows really heats up my system for whatever reason.)

More than a couple months ago, I downloaded Lutris and tried to run Dark Souls (which I got from pirated site fitgirl-something). And the game ran, laptop fans ran pretty fast, and the graphics was very bad. Pixelated, blurry, and slow animations. I'm not sure what was wrong. And I dropped my wish of gaming yet again.

Please help me set something up so I can play hardcore games like Dark Souls and others!

Thanks for any responses!

Hi everyone! This is a very special day for me. After months of sleepless nights working on my game, the demo is finally ready! I’m super excited to share it with you and can’t wait to see you enjoy it.

If i made you smile today, please wishlist now on steam to support me, it is really a lot support for me. Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3896300/Toll_Booth_Simulator_Schedule_of_Chaos/

About the game: You tried to escape prison but got caught. Instead of prison, they gave you a debt. Manage a toll booth on a desert highway. Check passports, take payments, and decide who passes. Grow fruit, mix cocktails, sell drinks, and dodge the cops. The only way to earn freedom is by paying off your debt.

Thanks for reading

Since i started my college i have been bombed with Linux. For 1 year and a half i tried multiple Linux distros, but unfortunally put windows again. The thing is, for Gaming is ok, cause i play most competitive games, but for work, damn. I want really to have a usable (and optimized) workspace but i want really play my games. What you say?

Moduwar is an adaptive organic RTS where you control an alien creature, it's quite unique and looks really interesting.
