Hi everyone, I switched to pop os since my windows is back asking for TMP2.0. I have a steam deck at first and was pretty amazed on how it can play games that are only for windows. They did an amazing job. I can play mostly any of my games but some, like Rainbow Six Extraction, are not working. I looked on protonDB and it's playable. Even on my steam deck it's playable. So I'm wondering, what is the most effective way to troubleshoot? I started steam in terminal and looked for errors but cannot find a solution. Some thing with X11 and maybe with the overlay (even if they are turned off). All packages are up to date. I can't find the solution to my problem.

I understand that there's no official Nvidia driver support on Linux, thus there are graphical issues when gaming on this OS. But I do wonder if there are work around like using Wine, a virtual machine, or some application that helps make GPU work properly. In this way, I won't actually need to get an AMD GPU.

At the very least, I'd like to be able to make the Steam OS/big picture mode not have the sub/side menus glitch out when I'm using GPU-acceleration (disabling it would make the menu laggy).

Like the title asks would it even be possible? A lot of the mods needed have their own apps thats needed to even get the hooks and api's installed correctly on windows and im just wondering if its remotely possible to get the entire thing done. If it is, what are the steps needed in order to get it done correctly, as i know modding on linux still has a long way of catchup to windows in terms of user friendliness for those who are extremely linux literate

I bought a Gamesir T4 pro controller because it was supposed to be the most compatible controller for Linux.

The only game I have is Dirt 4 and I cannot figure out the settings required to make the game playable.

I can't steer the cars at all 😭

Can someone help with settings to make this playable.

Thanks!

I'm playing RDR2 usually with vsync off and from time to time my fps drops to 30 indefinitely. No noticable spikes in gpu/cpu usage or temps. What's weird is, turning vsync on (if it's off) fixes it and vice versa. Anyone else experiencing this?

So I have this issue while running Yakuza Like A Dragon (I tried with Proton 9, 10, Experimental, Hotfix and GE), the game itself launch, but it stop at a black screen and somehow comeback to running while I'm in the Alt+Tab?? My system is CachyOS (I have reinstalled it) with KDE Plasma, RTX 3050 4GB (laptop) and i5-11400H, at some point I finally could play the tutorial, but when I tried to change some graphics settings in the menu the game stopped, also when the game start it's like it run in a other resolution then changes to my normal resolution 1920x1080, after some time the games stopped launching and only gave me this screen, I think it's really more a thing of the resolution the game is launching than a problem with Proton (since the game is with GOLD in ProtonDB).

Hey folks,
With Windows 10 reaching end-of-life this year, I'm seriously thinking about switching to Linux. I’m a complete Linux newbie, so I’m wondering how well it handles gaming in 2025.

I mainly play newer titles and upcoming releases like:

• Counter-Strike 2
• Rust
• Wuthering Waves
• Monster Hunter Wilds
• Cyberpunk 2077
• Elden Ring (and possible DLCs)
• Future gacha games coming this year

Are these games playable on Linux with good performance (especially through Proton/Steam Deck compatibility)? How’s anti-cheat support these days for online games? Is dual-booting still recommended for some titles, or has Linux gaming matured enough to go full-time?

Also, any distro suggestions for beginners who mainly game?

Depending on how well I adapt, I’m seriously considering switching to Linux full-time.

Thanks for the help!

edit: really curious about how Linux handles new releases, especially because I’m super hyped for Stellar Blade. would love to know if day-one compatibility is something i can expect or if I’ll need to wait/work around things.

Hi everybody, I've been on Linux Mint 22.1 for just about a month and I've noticed that my games are quite a bit darker than when I used to play them on Windows 11, It gets to the point where I can't really see anything on darker areas and tweaking the settings to when I'm able to see only makes the game look weird or way too bright. Idk if it changes anything but I'm running a NVIDIA GPU. Any idea on how to fix it?

EDIT: I'm not sure if it makes any difference but I've been running my games through Steam

I am currently using EndeavorOS, I searched for information about it but I have not found anything, the common problems are when opening the game, not when installing... This is the official installer of the game

Hello, I'm new to Linux desktop and Linux gaming, but after a bit of a setup process, I'm generally up and running.

One question that I have is how, currently, gamescope works with Wayland, and just generally speaking what Wayland is vs XWayland vs X11.

I'm running EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma 6.3 for a DE. As far as I understand, that's a Wayland session. And for some games, to get things like HDR working (for example, Forza Horizon 5 or Helldivers 2) I need to use gamescope, which as far as I understand, runs the games in an XWayland session(?) and using gamescope on these seems to get HDR to work (as far as I can tell). But I don't know the advantages vs disadvantages of it. Nor why it seems like a game like Counter Strike 2 runs just fine without gamescope. Furthermore on the Arch Wiki for gamescope, it says I need to use a command to "expose the Wayland session to gamescope". I don't really understand what that does or why I would want to use it, or when I should use it?

I've read several posts and what not about it, but the most comprehensive seems to be from 11 months ago, but none of them really just flat out answer my question of what exposing the session does, as well why I might want to do it. So looking for a bit more up to date info on all of this, and some of the other questions.

One further question, as an aside, does turning DLSS on in the game settings just function normally or do I have to do some weird command to get that working too?

To further add, my machine uses the latest Nvidia beta drivers (575.51.02). Thank you for any help or insight into all of this.
