I am planning to install Linux on my Mini PC to ditch Windows. What would be the best Linux to install?

I also have a gaming PC, and below are my questions:

What Linux can you suggest to run Blizzard games like D1, D2, D3 and D4?

Can I also play Dota 2 and CS2 on it?

How about Game Loop emulator for CoDM? Will it also run?

Basically I can't install the game on Hoyo Launcher because I don't have space, but I have more than 260 GB available, I tried other paths and it didn't work, I don't think it's a problem with my SSD.

and I run Arch Hyprland and I want to be able to customize it's colors, it has a lot of software embedded color patterns but I want to make a custom one, is there an application that can detect it and customize it? I tried to use its own software with wine but it gives me a black screen (in windows it requires to be run by an admin but I couldn't replicate it) so it's not an option and I tried openrgb with no success any suggestions?

I really want play eve echoes on my arch install and havent found much success in finding emus, while i have dealt with waydroid before on a previous fedora install it was pure hell since at that time i wanted to play roblox and sober wasnt out yet I want to avoid streaming from my phone via cable but if needed i have a oculus link cable i can use. Anyone got a idea that isnt waydroid?

I've been using sober to play Roblox for 2 months now and after a 4 week hiatus I try to log in but I can't. It's an alt account that I created within sober and I never shared the details anywhere. So after failing to log in on sober I tried my phone and brower. All it says is "incorrect username or password" so either Roblox banned the account or I got hacked I literally have no idea. Though I'm having suspicions of sober itself.

The app won't open even though it says "Running" in the library. If you try to shutdown the steam, the app starts and throws this, as well as opens settings window and some black screen you cannot close.

Hi all, my search didn't turn up anything but I may just not know what to search for as I am a Linux Newb. I am using Cachy OS and after having trouble getting my Xbox Elite 2 to work wirelessly with Dongle I followed advice using an 8BitDo ultimate Wireless as it works out of the box. And it does, works great on Steam as an xbox controller. However if I launch a GOG game through Heroic the controller isn't recognized at all. Any suggestions? Thanks!

This hasn't been happening at all before and the only thing that changed recently is i tried to switch to bottles and it didn't go smoothly so i just went back to lutris, but now suddenly almost all my games are giving me a weird error:

X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 149 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext) Value in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 268 Current serial number in output stream: 269

I have tried almost every method I've found on the internet and nothing worked.

This is the output from glxinfo -B

and nvidia-smi gets me an output

I was wondering, did anyone else encounter this problem recently that the HoyoPlay Launcher did a new update and now it doesn't start anymore?

I have been using garuda for a long time on my old computer and I was quite happy with everything. I recently bought Asus rog strix g17 (2024) and Nvidia scares me a lot. Information What do you think will be the positive and negative effects if I install Garuda on these equipment again?

Hello, I've recently installed linux arch (archinstall way) (KDE plasma), and I've run into some trouble trying to play windows games. Once I open a game, a white little window with the game's icon, a "!" on the top left of the icon, and a progress appears. Once the progress bar finishes, the window closes. The loading time in the window counts as my playtime. I've tried every proton version including GE proton, but still no signs of life. I also tried the heroic launcher. Steam, linux, my drivers and generally everything is up-to-date. Have any ideas on how to fix this?

Pretty much title, haven't had the opportunity to play in a month. Started it up yesterday through lutris and it took me back to the login screen while giving me error 15.

Something strange happens in fireforx too when trying to login to the play! Pokemon website, it loads forever.

This issue is not present on chrome, had firefox as preferred browser and tried changing it to chrome but it had no effect on the in game login error.

Latest version of everything while using linux mint.

When I used Windows, I followed an artist who made very nice and beautiful animated mice. Is there a way to do the same thing on Linux, or can't you? My system is now Manjaro.

So i build wine-tkg with appropriate configuration file ( disabling esync , fsync , enabling ntsync ) .

I am using kernel 6.14 cachyos . Games run fine with heroic-launcher .

But the log doesnt have any sign of ntsync being used . Is there any environtment varibale required to use ntsync ?

Or if someone has wine/proton build with working ntsync , can you just upload on github or somehwhere ?

Hi all,

I have odd performance, and have only ever seen it on this game. When I run benchmark, what ever I do I seem to get ~5600 ish score. 63 fps. This is on a 7900xtx and a 12700k.

I have disabed directx 12, and reduced latency turned off. I will also add I am playing this on Linux. I see same results through gamescope and non gamescope.

I want to run in gamescope so I get HDR. What is odd is even if I add FSR upscaling, i get the same FPS really. Is there some special hack here I am missing?

I am running Arch Linux with cachyos repos enabled for kernel/steam etc.

I transitioned my gaming from Windows to Linux Mint in early February. Most of my Steam Windows games have run great under Linux, including until recently Divinity Original Sin 2 and XCom 2. Both ran fine for a month In Linux Mint using both standard Proton configurations and Proton-GE.

A couple of weeks ago both games started crashing to desktop without any obvious error messages even when running Steam from the terminal. I've spent the last couple of weeks troubleshooting and am stymied where to go next. I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Here's what I've tried so far:

1. I've spent most time trying to get DOS2 running because it is rated Gold on ProtonDB with just the --skip-launcher launch option.

2. The original Steam installation was via Flatpak, so I uninstalled all of my Steam games and Steam itself, verified that all were deleted from disk and re-installed the official Steam .deb version. Still had the same problem with both games. The game starts to launch and presents the initial game loading screen, then just CTDs. Most testing was done with --skip-launcher but I tried without that option as well.

3. I tried running every Proton version back to v6 including latest version Proton-GE . I was always careful to fully exit Steam between attempts to run the programs and even tried rebooting b/t attempts. The launch effort lasted longest in Proton v7 but only a bit longer.

4. I'm in the process of testing various distros for music production, so I also tried running the games in fresh installs of Debian 12 and Ubuntu 24.04, 24.10 and 25.04 beta. All had the same result.

5. In Linux Mint 22.1 OpenGL reports a 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) with Mesa 24.2.8-lubuntu1~24.04.1. Seems recent enough.

6. I've tried to find in depth troubleshooting guides on the Internet and YouTube, but everything I've found is pretty superficial.

7. At this point, it feels like a hardware issue, but my hardware is pretty standard and I've been testing on various fresh installs with no funky configurations:

   1. AMD Ryzen 7 7700x
   2. ASUS Dual Radeon RX 7600 XT 16GB
   3. 64 GB ram

Any pointers on where to go next would be much appreciated.
