Has anyone tried BF6 with winboat?
Hello fellow Linux gamers! I’ve wondered if one of you tried to play BF6 using the rather new Winboat “VM” system. I’m curious if it’s possible since with some tinkering it’s possible to use secure boot with Linux (to my knowledge)
Thanks in advance and have a great day! :)

Why does Faugus do this when attempting to launch WoW?
Fedora 42. Using any of the proton runners. Only way to stop it is with a hard system reset. Note that bnet runs without issue under Faugus. Problem occurs when attempting to actually launch WoW.
Using the same runners under Lutris or Steam launches WoW perfectly fine. Problem seems to be specific to Faugus.

Chaos Zero Nightmare (CZN) Linux Guide
A quick guide to get Chaos Zero Nightmare (CZN) running on Linux through Bottles but unfortunately there is an error code with no relevant information about it ( I was able to resolve this error code, information below).
Greetings everyone,
I just wanted to create a post to help anyone who wants to play this game on Linux and has been having a hard time getting it to work. I got the game to work 100%, was able to patch and am able to play but then there is an error code 0xe0190266 which pops up and throws you out of the game. I searched online and could not find anything related besides AI saying it is related to the systems machine time and the time of the server not being synchronized. If you are able to solve the error could that would be great. Anyway here are the steps below and any information to get the game installed and running.
System: Intel GPU, Intel CPU
Bottles with the runner being GE-Proton10-21
Ubuntu 25.X.X
If you are unfamiliar with how to add another runner to Bottles, use this Flatpak app, also works for Steam.
https://flathub.org/en/apps/net.davidotek.pupgui2
You will need the Stove installer for this process so make sure you download that.
You will also need to download the executable of Microsoft WebView2. I recommend the "Evergreen Bootstrapper" as it will download everything correctly for you like it describes. I know Bottles has a "Dependencies" tab to install WebView2 but it installed something older and the Stove client kept on complaining.
Under Bottles > "Bottle Name" > Display > Advanced Display Settings, I am using the "Virtual Desktop" setting and the "Take Focus".
I am also using Windows 11 under the "Compatibility" section.
All other settings are default that the bottle was created with.
Step 1: Add the GE-Proton runner to Bottles once you have Bottles installed.
Step 2: Create a new Gaming Bottle called whatever you want using said GE-Proton runner you installed.
Step 3: "Run Executable" of the Microsoft WebView2 you downloaded earlier.
Step 4: Install the Stove client and Create an account otherwise you can not install CZN.
Step 5: Once you have created your Stove account you can install CZN. Install CZN through the Stove client.
Step 6: Launch the game and install the patch ~ 3.9 Gb.
Enjoy the game and hope you don't get the error code.
If the Stove client is showing a complete black screen it is most likely that the WebView2 install failed or didn't install properly.
The overall compatibility is not 100% and the Stove client bugs out, shows black screens or takes forever for popups to show or things to click. Just restart the Bottle if you experience any of this. I attached 2 photos, one of the game and the error code.
**** Update *****
I was able to solve the error code that was springing up. Apparently the game does not like it when you are using a VPN connection. I disabled my VPN and relaunched the game and it has no popped up yet usually it would be within 1 min of playing the game. Fingers crossed seems like the VPN was the issue as with other games I play.

I can't use the letter keyboard in the game but I can use numbers or other keys.
Hey everyone, I have a problem. I don't know if you can solve it. I enter the game Genshin and the keyboard doesn't work on the letters, but other parts work, such as the ESC number. What causes this and how do I fix it? I'm using Ubuntu LTS, Twintail, and Proton 10.0 Cachyos as a compatible layer. Does anyone have a solution?
I tried playing using portproton and had the same problem.
Sorry for making you uncomfortable.

Odd rythmic stuttering on Minecraft.
Me and a buddy are playing ATM10 off of curse forge and this stuttering starts after a few minutes every launch. Any ideas? Running on Bazzite.

Noticed for Certain Game Communities There Is a Huge Lack of Modding Guides and Videos for Linux
For example does anyone know how to mod StarCraft II? (I have Battle.net installed via Steam and using Proton 10.0 Compatibility layer for Pop!_OS Gaming Laptop), & other RTS Games: LOTR Games, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, Star Wars Empire At War
Can see plenty of guides and videos for Open World RPG's, and a few for FPS. But not much for RTS, other Strategy type game genres, Racing, and Horror to name a few
Project Idea: Maybe someone can make a website and list some of the best tutorials for Linux Gaming and Linux Game Modding as they come out? With people able to search a game on the site for guides/videos and where it differs per distro if at all

how to fix Project 64 with wine/proton
I think I've discovered how to get the N64 emulator Project 64 working great with Proton. Posting here because I haven't seen anyone else share this solution...
The main issue was that it simply showed a black screen when trying to launch roms. There is a workaround to minimize the game and refocus, but this was still unstable and unreliable for long sessions. It turns out if you enable the settings "Pause emulation when window is not active" and "Disable screensaver when running a ROM" Project 64 works as usual! Hopefully this helps someone out there, I always wished I could use Project 64 on linux and now I can. The reason I wanted P64 so much is because it supports some cheats and rom patches that Mupen/RMG does not (for example Banjo Kazooie 60fps, Mario 64 no music patch, etc.)
PS If you get "failed to load video device" when trying to go full screen, make sure your resolution and refresh rate in the video settings match exactly what is on your desktop.

Hybrid Graphics ASUS TUF A15
I recently got an ASUS TUF A15 (FA507NV) as my new daily drive laptop. Since I mostly use linux I've put it on there as the main operating system, everything works well except for the battery life.
From what I've gathered it's in performance mode where the dedicated gpu is receiving power at all times. So I tried setting it to Hybrid via supergfxctl, yet the dedicated card is still active. The integrated gpu serms to not be exposed to the system as a valid display adapter.
Apparently, Armoury Crate offers a setting to switch it to Hybrid and allow me access to the iGPU, but dual booting Windows and checking that gave no results either. Either the interface changed a lot and it's under a different name there or I'm looking in the wrong place.
As of right now I'm stuck on what to do to get it set up properly, any help is greatly appreciated.

My Batman Arkham City GOTY (Steam) is Crashing
Hi everyone, I've been trying to get Batman: Arkham City to run on my computer for four days, but it just won't start. It just stays in the initialization section and then goes back to the start button. I've used many Protons, including Proton GE, and I don't know what to do. I'm using the latest version of Pop OS.
The ProtonDB website lists several Proton versions I've tried, but the game hasn't started even once.

Weird graphical glitch/bug in StarCraft 2 DirectStrike
Hey Linux gamers and hello for SC2 DS lovers!
A week or two ago I encountered this graphical glitch in StarCraft2 DirectStrike that makes the game unplayable. Certain elements of the game appear covered by a large red square and also the cannon and the base shoots small red rectangles. The cannon or the base falling also makes the game crash when the camera is focused on it. I could reproduce it in Lutris and Steam and on Ubuntu 25.04 and 25.10. I assume it has to do something with the shaders. Did any of you encounter this lately? Have you found a solution for it?
Short system details:
- Ubuntu 25.10
- NVIDIA GA106M [GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q] Driver Version: 580.95.05
- Proton 10.0-2 (beta) - same results with other Proton versions.
- Vulkan v: 1.4.321
