Hello everyone! A little backstory, I've been running Linux/Debian flavors for almost 15 years, I've been through Ubuntu, debian, mint, Lubuntu and many more, but for the last 5 years I've decided to keep using mint with a dual boot to windows so I can play valorant with some friends. My question is, is it worth the trouble of learning/configuring a "new" distro? I mean, everything works on my current build of mint, I don't find any big issues with it. I'm sorry for any mistakes on the formatting, I'm on mobile I've got a Ryzen 7 8700f/RX580/16GB RAM

Much like the user in this thread previously, out of nowhere all my proton games are suddenly no longer working, and I haven't the foggiest idea why. Every single time I go to launch a game, Steam acts like it's about to launch something, but then the green Play button pops back as if nothing happened. I tried consulting that thread, but the only solution one user found didn't apply to me (They had integrated graphics which were causing their issues; I do not).

I've done all the usual suggestions - graphics drivers are up to date, distro (Zorin OS) has all the most recent updates applied, have verified integrity of multiple games, restarted, uninstalled and reinstalled both the games and Proton editions... Nothing has done a thing. Some other things I tried that I didn't see referenced in that thread though was running a Log for Proton, which unfortunately showed no useful errors, and running things with Wine, which at least got games to the splash screen! Wherein most of them crashed afterwards. So the issue seems pretty laser-focused on Proton specifically.

Some details in case it helps: Any game that has a proper Linux build still plays just fine. There doesn't seem to have been any precursor to this (IE, games that I was playing fine just suddenly stopped working). System Specs are Zorin OS, Ryzen 2700X, 64GB of 3200MHz RAM, Vega Frontier Edition, various SSDs and HDDs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

So I have noticed When trying to play Mary Skelter Nightmare. On Steam Deck the Game Runs fine, Other than the Opening Cut-scene/Anime Opening not having Audio until using Proton Experimental and Proton Hotfix The Issue is I want to play it on my Main Rig. But anytime I try the game just does not boot, it just luanches exe then CTDs. I even Tried launching from Steam Big Picture mode because sometimes that Works with Games that seem to require Gamescope. ProtonDB is not much help because it seems to run fine in gamemode under Bazzite according to a report on there but I don't know what Bazzite has that Garuda does not.

My Specs are:
OS: Garuda Linux: Dragonized KDE Gaming Edition.
Secondary OS: Steam OS 3 from the Deck Repair Tool
CPU: 5700g.
GPU: Radeon 6700XT.
PSU: Corsair Fully Modular 850 Watt White (2020) .
Storage: not includind the Two 1TB NVMe Boot Drives. Five Crucial 1TB SSD, One Team Group 2TB SSD, 2 Barracuda 4TB HDDs and a one 14TB Exos HDD. Lastl an Optical Drive.
Case: Cooler Master HAF XB Evo High AirFlow Lan Box Case, Mesh Front Panel.

Thing is it will run when I boot into Steam OS, but I don't want to have to reboot into the Bios Everytime I want to Play it. Though I do Alternate between them. I try to run Steam OS on Weekends after Work and Garuda during the Week when I might do something other than Game.

whenever i take a screenshot thats too big (region capture) and try to paste it into discord, it just doesnt work. it will pop up like ive pasted something, but the preview is blank and when i try to send it it doesnt work. saving the screenshot, opening it in firefox (been too lazy to find a proper image viewer) and copy it from there works fine. this seems to only happen when a game is running.

3 monitor setup, 100% scaling, HDR on or off changes nothing. pasting into other programs like gimp works fine.

plasma 6.3.4

KDE framework 6.12.0

geforce RTX 3060

so i tried installing rocket league on my manjaro machine with heroic games launcher but i was stuck on the press button to start screen. i did some research and i saw some reddit post saying i should turn off my internet and the game will start normally. well i sure got past the button screen but after that the screen just goes back and my game is at like 0.2 fps for a minute until it crashes. yes the game sure did run on windows. i can also add a picture of all the versions i tried (most crashed and some of them gave me the black screen and "wine -wine-ge 8 26-x86_64" is one of those black screen i forgot the rest

Whenever I try setting the refresh rate to anything else, my external monitor loses connection.

It only works with 60hz. Whenever i set my monitor refresh to anything higher or lower, my monitor loses connection.

It works fine with the driver 550.144.03. No problems setting it to 165hz.

Any fixes or or anyone else having the same problem?

I have seen some info floating around about stutters and input lag, aswell as problems with monitors of different refresh rates etc when using Gnome.

A lot of that info is over a year old now, and a lot had happened to both Gnome and Wayland the last year.

Have anyone compared it recently to KDE? I would really like to swap from KDE just to get a more complete desktop experience without any tinkering.

I've only tried this on Mint, so if you've tried it on another distro and it worked, please leave a comment.

You'll need two things for this: the Heroic Games launcher and a Discord account to download the client .exe file on the Browndust 2 server.

1. Click "Add Game" on Heroic

https://preview.redd.it/hjy8blvi72ue1.png?width=1360&format=png&auto=webp&s=59b3919fa908e1002915f24d8e2ef92e9dfcc6bc

1. Click "Run Installer First" and select the client exe file.

https://preview.redd.it/1geupz9i82ue1.png?width=1360&format=png&auto=webp&s=8a5fe2093e86d4360f3628f557923c094a8c38f7

1. Select the language (I don't know if this will happen to you, but mine only shows English, the others show up as squares).

https://preview.redd.it/fmoqeqer82ue1.png?width=1360&format=png&auto=webp&s=c001d5ad8602401b7c7876c0feef229057392f43

1. Two windows will open. Don't click "Ok" on the Browndust 2 error, click "Install" on the Browndust 2 launcher.

1. After clicking "Install", wait.

2. After the installation is complete, close the Browndust 2 window and press "Ok" on the Browndust 2 error window.

3. Click on the folder symbol in the space where the selected executable is written and select the Browndust .exe file (just go Heroic/Prefixes/default/Brown dust 2/drive_c/Neowiz/Browndust2/Browndust2_10000001 and select the BrownDust ll.exe)

1. Now click on "Finish" and test the game (if it fails to start and an error appears as it did for me, go to the next step; otherwise, you're in luck, so go play).

2. Go to the game settings, scroll down and select Winetricks, click on "Open Winetricks GUI", select "Install a program" and click "OK". Now click on "Cancel". Now select "Install a windows DLL or component'" and click "OK". Now scroll until you find "Webio", select it and click "OK".

1. After webio installation, open the game, select the basic settings and log in with your Google account

1. Have fun

If anyone asks why the game art is different, it's because I already did it once, so I did it again for you guys to see the steps.

Brown dust 2 and browndust 2

Ps1:One observation is that when you install webio on winetricks it works on all instances independently on where you installed, because when i opened this new browndust it showed the log in without the error

Ps2: maybe this trick can work for other gacha that require this type of log in... or not lol

Hi, been looking to buy a VR headset for a while now but have been hesitant because I have heard AMD gpus are not good for VR (don't know if this info is outdated or not) and also VR gaming on Linux wasn't that good historically.

Now that apparently VR is getting a lot better on the Linux side, what's the case with the AMD side of things? I have an rx 6800 and am looking to play stuff like HL Alyx, AC, ACC, DCS and other sim games mostly. And if anyone is running dual boot, how is it compared to Windows?

I've been using linux for many years, but never for gaming. I've always just used dual boot windows. But it's quite annoying to switch operating systems so I'd like to be able to play games on linux.

So I downloaded Counter Strike 2 from steam today, and ran it but I was getting terrible FPS. On windows I get between 100-110 fps usually. On linux, I was getting 30-70, and it just felt unplayable. Even the menus were extremely slow and painful to navigate.

I have a ryzen 5 2600x and an rx580. I'm running fedora 41 with kde and wayland. One difference between my windows and linux setup is that on linux, because I didn't want to commit, I have installed CS2 on an NTFS formatted HDD, whereas on windows it's installed on an SSD. But surely that shouldn't affect the actual framerate, just the loading times?

So really, I'm wondering whether linux gaming is just like this, or whether I'm doing something wrong.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

I can't really tell what happened, but suddenly Proton stopped working, and hasn't worked for a couple weeks, including through a kernel update (even using other kernels didn't solve anything).

I'm getting the same result with or without prime (so on both the iGPU and the dGPU), with any proton version including Experimental and Hotfix, and also outside of Steam (I use a little script to run Proton like Wine outside of Steam, quite handy for non-steam games.)

Anyways, when I start any game or app through proton (but not through Wine), after a few seconds - at most a minute or so -, it freezes. I can alt-tab to the desktop with no issues, everything else is perfectly fluid, but the .exe is completely frozen. It only responds to SIGKILL, not even SIGQUIT or SIGTERM. After 120 seconds, the game finally crashes, with the message "gamethread timed out waiting for renderthread"

I couldn't find anything else, even PROTON_LOG=1 didn't provide much -if any- information; and the stdout and stderr from running proton outside of Steam from the command line is empty of anything related.

I tried verifying game files, Proton files, reinstalling Proton... Nothing changes.

My system : OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64 Kernel: 6.14 DE: XFCE 4.20 RAM: 32GB CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS iGPU: AMD ATI 66:00.0 Phoenix1 (Radeon 780M) dGPU: RTX 4070 Max-Q Mobile
