(Nobara) Is there any reason why CS2 would have major jitter compared to other games, specifically scp secret foundation which runs perfectly fine, my Internet connection is great even though I'm NOT using a wired connection I'm still getting a solid 500 mbps, my driver's of course are already pre installed and ready to go, other than the fact I've changed my GPU driver to 590.48 instead of 595.45 mainly just for stability and more secure option, I've even tweaked settings in CS and nothing seems to work.

We're hopefully closing in on the next big stable update for SteamOS, with Valve releasing SteamOS 3.8.2 Beta.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

I'm on Linux Mint, and not talking about Steam, as I'm playing on an emulator.

Is this possible?

Hello everyone, I wanted to play a mod for GTA SA but my keyboard doesn't work in the game, my character doesn't move unless I reassign the wasd keys in the settings, but instead of wasd when I reassign I see Ō, #, Ô, Â, is it possible to fix it so that the keyboard works correctly on the standard control settings, I need this so that cheat codes and some other things work, and I almost forgot, I use CachyOS and running game in Lutris (Proton GE 9-26)

I always used Kovaak's sensitivity matching program on windows but there were no Linux equivalents that worked on Wayland, so I figured I might as well make one. I've never done anything like this before so any tips/suggestions are appreciated. Hope some people get some use out of it like I will.

Helo there,

I am new user of Steam Deck (SteamOS).

First of all I have to say that I have never use Linux before.

I installed Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc (gog version). Works fine, everything is ok. The problem is that game is in english language - I know this language but the problem is as below:

I have installed original polish language - because it is perfect, different, funny, etc. It is my childhood too so I want back to those times once more time. I have original CD with polish version of game so I just copied polish files into the instalation folder of Rayman 3.

I testes it on PC with Windows 11 before Steam Deck to check if it works. And it works, everything is ok.

The problem appears on my Deck, audio iw choppy, weird. I can not hear audio, dialogues, etc. Only weird, broken audio.

I did little research and found out that there could be problem with different codecs that polish files use in comparasion to english files.

But I do not know what and how should I do.

It would be great if you fellow Redditers could help me.

Greetings from Poland.

Jogo Minecraft bedrock por causa do modo online que consigo aproveitar com meu amigo que tem apenas um celular, mas venho enfrentado alguns problemas com texturas e animações no linux, aparentemente isso ocorre porque o bedrock não tem versão oficial para linux e o laucher no máximo emula o jogo de celular para nós, e isso causa essas versões absolutamente quebradas e desagradáveis do jogo, já testei isso no fedora, no zorin, no MCPELAUCHER e no TrynitY e estou a dias usando comandos do chat gpt para concertar isso mas nada funciona e meu jogo continua com uma movimentação travada e distorcida, por ser o meu jogo favorito isso está realmente me dando vontade de ir para o windows para ter uma experiencia de jogo descente, mas dado todas as outras vantagens do linux eu realmente não gostaria de fazer isso, alguem aqui sabe como concertar isso?

hello fellow penguins!

I been using Linux for almost 2 years now with almost no bad experiences (stuck with Mint, PikaOS and finally Bazzite)

however, sometimes I like to move around and I got a dusty old laptop, an acer aspire E 15 with a Nvidia 940mx and a Intel i5 something. with a 1TB HDD

so right off the bat we have issues, Nvidia and specifically an internal Nvidia AND an old Nvidia too.

I tried kubuntu but the performance is abhorrent.

tried TuxedoOS and same as above, I even got a kernel panic lol.

question is... what is a good distro? should I instead try CachyOS? could not install Bazzite for the life of me.

What do you guys recommend? should I get an SSD?

Hey gang

New to this whole Linux Mint thing, recently updated my pc, it didnt have a graphics card before. It works great and I like Linux Mint but everytime I try to update the drivers for my Geforce 1060 it freezes on boot.

Ive been bashing my head against this brick wall for a few days, cant seem to find the right answer either here or on youtube. Any ideas?

Hello, all. New to Linux, running Sims 4 through Steam. The game crashes randomly; different action and runtime every time, no connection as far as I can tell. I've seen multiple previous threads from past years, but none of them have any resolution. Anyone have an idea of what's going on?

When launching bg3 with (it won’t launch with the default steam linux one) proton experimental through steam then with direct x 11 (it crashes with vulkan) through the Laurian launcher I boot into bg3 but the screen is black other than my cursor that is specific to bg3. As the title suggests I have sound and seemingly can interact with the buttons I just can see them. My current gps driver is 580.126.18 on a 4070. Does anyone have suggestions?

Hey, so these are my specs currently

CPU - Ryzen 5 5500 with Hyper 212 Black

GPU - RTX 3060 Ti

RAM - SK Hynix (2 x 8 GB)

Mobo - PRO-B550M-VC-WIFI

Storage - Currently using a Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SSD (SATA) for Windows, but I have a Samsung 980 NVMe SSD coming in tomorrow which I will use Linux on & I also have a 3.5 HDD which will be for storage-only (backing up files between the two OS’) & multimedia purposes (watching movies, tv shows, anime, etc)

Right now I have Windows 10 on a SATA SSD (plan on upgrading to Windows 11 Pro & debloating) but I wanted to grab a NVMe SSD as my main drive, which I plan to install Linux (thinking between Arch or Fedora).

The original plan was to use Linux for my NVMe (main OS, for retro emulation & gaming), Windows for my SATA (Windows-only and games that ONLY work on Windows), & my 3.5 HDD for storage-only & multimedia. But then I remember someone talking about using Linux & using a Windows VM for gaming but I know nothing about that method, but I would like to see if that can be my preferred method of using Windows primarily because I want to stay on one OS but also because if I can pull that off, I can free up a whole TB SSD.

Has anybody tried out gaming on a VM and is it better this way or is dual-booting the most efficient way for gaming? When it comes to retro emulation, everything I want has a native Linux version & most PC games I wanna play aren’t really new either, only “new gen games” I can think of would be like Sparking Zero, Xenoverse 2, GTA V, Sonic PC games, etc

Any help would be appreciated!!

I waited for a bit before buying Crimson Desert because of the initial launch issues, but it seems to now support Intel Arc cards and I have seen several people playing it on linux, however I'm just getting a blue wireframe. I've tried PROTON_USE_NTSYNC and PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND, but neither of these work. I've also launched it with no additional environment variables, still getting the blue wireframe. I have tried turning all settings to low or off and disabled XESS, but that actually gives me a totally black screen instead of a blue wireframe with some detail. Other games work fine. Anyone have a fix for this or out of luck?

First of all I'm sorry if this breaks posts of this sub but pretty sure I've seen similar posts here before.

Recent electron updates seems to have fixed enough stuff where this game can be shipped through an AppImage. (I've been shipping the windows version and telling using users to user proton to play that up until now due to graphical issues of the engine)

Here's the link for the AppImage: https://github.com/Twig6943/PVZGE-Electron/releases/tag/testt , please report your results down below.

Unrelated: I also attempted to package it with tauri but I kinda need help with that

Context: Reason I'm doing is that the devs of the game still recommend setting up docker to play the game which is totally unnecessary

I've been thinking about a Linux-native anti-cheat architecture concept and wanted to share it here to get feedback. The core idea is simple. Instead of scanning your system like traditional anti-cheat does, the game runs inside a freshly generated container every single session. When the game closes, the container is completely destroyed. Nothing persists. Nothing carries over. Every container gets a fully randomized internal environment with random directory structure, random library paths, random environment variables and random IPC socket names. A cheat written for one session would be completely blind the next time you launch the game. The container runs a locked KDE Wayland session with full SELinux enforcement and custom kernel patches. No Xorg fallback. No global keyboard hooks. No process can spy on another. Even root cannot escape the SELinux policy. Authentication works through a one time password generated entirely in kernel space. It never touches userspace memory, gets submitted directly to the server and is destroyed before the game even fully launches. There is nothing in memory to intercept. The whole thing is built on a stripped and hardened Podman fork that is daemonless, rootless and SELinux-native with everything unnecessary removed to minimize attack surface. Secure Boot ensures the kernel itself is verified and signed before anything loads. No unsigned or modified kernel gets past the front door.

INSTALLATION

-To use a GUI we must install Goverlay:

Terminal:
flatpak install flathub io.github.benjamimgois.goverlay

Or you may install it natively (like apt or rpm), doesn't really matter.

You could use Flathub or your GUI appstore too.

-Goverlay is just a graphical interface you may need to install MangoHud itself:

For flatpaks:
flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud

and choose the latest runtime which currently is 25.08, you can see it at the end.

For Natives:

Ubuntu based:

sudo apt install mangohud

Fedora based:

sudo dnf install mangohud

Or whatever your distro work with.

I advice to install both versions of mangohud.

CONFIGURATION

-Open Goverlay and configure it to your liking and click save, then go to Home folder then press ctrl + h and open .config look for MangoHud folder if it's there ,great, if there is none, this is probably because we are using a flatpak, now go to /home/YOURusername/.var/app/io.github.benjamimgois.goverlay/config then copy MangoHud folder and paste back in .config folder. Both M and H must be capital in MangoHud folder.

Goverlay even as flatpak will recognise it by default and edit accordingly as you edit it, at least from my experience. Either versions will manage both native Mangohud and Flatpak Mangohud as they run the same file we have in .config.

ACTIVATION

-FOR STEAM

For native: right click any game and click properties, at the bottom in the launch options type:

mangohud %command%.

As far as I'm concerned there isn't a convenient way to apply it globally for all native steam games. There is a hidden global enable in goverlay but this may cause issues as it apply it to all your PC. To be frank someone will reply about this.

For flatpak: Install Flatseal (or use Kde's Application Permissions), open and go through steam, look for Enviroment and add a variable:

MANGOHUD=1.

This will apply them to most games, if it doesn't work, go to game properties and type:

mangohud %command%

-FOR HEROIC & LUTRIS

Heroic: Settings>Game Defaults>Enable Mangohud (applied to newly installed games only).

Lutris: top right 3 bars>Preferences>Global options> FPS counter (MangoHud).

-FOR STANDALONE NATIVE & APPIMAGE GAMES:

The easiest way I found is to add them to a NATIVELY installed launcher like lutris and simply activate it from there like explained above.

-FOR STANDALONE FLATPAK GAMES:

For Vulkan games: through flatseal go to the desired game, look for Filesystem and add:

xdg-config/MangoHud:ro

afterwards, go to Environment and add a (or 2) variables:

MANGOHUD=1

if it activates without desired configuration, then add:

MANGOHUD_CONFIGFILE=/home/YOURusername/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf

For OpenGL: through flatseal go to the desired game, look for Filesystem and add:

xdg-config/MangoHud:ro

afterwards, go to Environment and add 2 (or 3) variables:

MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink (this translates OpenGL to Vulkan)

MANGOHUD=1

if it activates without desired configuration, then add: MANGOHUD_CONFIGFILE=/home/YOURusername/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf

This is because MangoHud is a hit or miss with OpenGL and its hard doing it through flatpaks, so forcing it through zink will grants better results from my experience.

FINAL NOTES:

When using flatpaks you may need to have both mangohud and the launchers on the same runtime, so mangohud is 25.08 to comply with steam 25.08.

They should update together after installation, so shouldn't matter.

For reference:

Dirstro: Fedora KDE 43

GPU Vendor: AMD

Hope this helps anyone.

Do try and comment for better ways if you know more.
