Don't forget to set your regulatory domain! Twice now I've gotten bit by this not well documented setting. Linux does not set this for you. It doesn't assume where you're in the world and it wants to make your wifi comply with every law for every country so your regulatory domain is never set. This means performance suffers, you might see lag spikes, dropped frames, network jitter and other annoying things. This stands out when streaming with sunshine and moonlight which requires there to be no frame drops.

For the steamdeck following this arch wiki article worked for me.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration/Wireless#Respecting_the_regulatory_domain

Simply editing the conf file and Un commenting your country fixed my lag spikes and dropped frames when using moonlight.

This happened twice now, once on the steamdeck and then another time on a different Linux distro, I think it was Opensuse? Maybe arch as well?

However, don't be a dick. This setting means the wifi chip will act in accordance with what the country you're in allows by law. So if you travel from the US to say Mexico, the laws will be different and radio frequencies and settings your wifi chip use in the US may not be allowed in Mexico and you may violate shit.

I'm not responsible for that and neither is the arch wiki, that's on you.

But if you don't travel with your device from country to country frequently, this setting may be just what you need to get a consistent wifi connection!

I've being playing like 3 months now on Nobara Linux using Proton-GE-10-10 and I was getting almost constant 144fps. There was a problem tho, it sometimes froze my hole pc and was really annoying. I decided to try running it through lutris cause I read it could work better. I did that and the performance dropped to the floor. I went to Steam and pasted the same launch settings and proton version I read in the reddit post that said to try lutris. But it still went horrible. I reverted, almost all the changes, because I didn't save the launch settings, but it still had an awful performance. But that shouldn't be a problem, because without any tinkering, it worked perfectly before. I've tried everything: uninstalling steam, overwatched, cleared proton cache... Nothing works. Someone please help me

I was trying to install mentioned games via wine and lutris (adding game from mounted .iso with lutris, then trying to launch it with wine explorer), but whenever I want to install directx/indeo/something that those games need for graphics, I get messages like this, and then some error messages, mainly mentioning access at 0x00000000. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something crucial about how prefixes/wine work?

Hi, I installed steam thru Linux and I have the option to run all the different Protons. I tried several, installed my game and they all run super slow I can't even open it or play. Any advice?

Howdy,

when I'm playing Tekken 8 on CachyOS with both Proton Experimental and GE, there's an issue that I'm unable to connect to some number of console players. On Windows issue does not occur. x_X

I'm running into trouble running steam on Ubuntu 25.04 while also recognizing one of my Nvidia GPUs. I've not been able to find a satisfactory answer via searching around, so I'm hoping someone has already ran into the problem and resolved it here!

• Nvidia GPUs (see nvidia-smi output below, edited slightly for clarity)
• Driver: 570.172.08

Problem

I've seen online to run steam via: __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia steam

However, when I do this, I get
Unable to determine whether the expected Nvidia drivers are available.

The Steam client may have limited functionality.

Steam runs, but it seems to be using

Running query: 1 - GpuTopology Response: gpu_topology { gpus { id: 1 name: "llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.2, 256 bits)" vram_size_bytes: 3221225472 driver_id: k_EGpuDriverId_MesaLLVMPipe driver_version_major: 0 driver_version_minor: 0 driver_version_patch: 1 luid: 0 } default_gpu_id: 1 }

If I right click and run launch with dedicated graphics card, I still seem to get the same thing (under help->system information I see the

Video Card: Driver: Mesa llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.2, 256 bits)

information, which doesn't seem right. Also, if I play a game it is clearly not using any memory or processing power on any of the GPUs, and once I run it the game lags to the point of being unplayable.

Things I've tried / troubleshooting:

• Run steam by right clicking and selecting 'Launch with Dedicated Graphics Card'
• Run the game (fallout 76) by right clicking and 'Launch using Discrete Graphics Card'
• Run steam manually using __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia steam
• Update everything I can via 'apt update/apt upgrade'
• Checked for steam client updates - none available at least through the release channel.

The GPUs are usable on my system (I use them for other things); the NVIDIA driver is installed (~v.570).

Has anyone run into this and have a solution? I'm not sure if there is an issue given I have 3x GPUs locally (unsurprisingly for ML related things) - although that hasn't been a problem with anything else. Also, I'm trying to play Fallout 76 specifically, which I _believe_ I've played on Steam Linux on another machine before (doesn't match this machine's specs) - so I expect it to be able to be played fine on this machine.

Happy to provide other information if it is relevant. I don't commonly post to Reddit - I apologize in advance if I've done something wrong asking this here!

I don't know since when I got this issue, but i wanna ask if anyone experience this issue? I have changed any proton version and it still didn't launch even with experimental.

I've installed Uma Musume through lutris and steam with the DMM games launcher, however it does not seem to do anything. Even in the logs it shows nothing happening, looking online it could be the anticheat. Has anyone found a way to get the game to launch?

Hello, about my system:
Debian 12 running on an MSI MS16-J6 laptop; iGPU - Intel HD graphics 530; dGPU - NVidia GTX 950M, proprietary drivers

My system is set to use the integrated graphics by default, and I specify in steam Launch Options to use the discrete GPU with __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command%

When I launch a game that runs natively on Linux (Like HK:Silksong for example), the launch options work fine and the game does use the dGPU, which is apparent by the memory usage increase
But when I launch a game that doesn't run natively, through Proton, that same memory usage increase does not happen.

How do I tell Proton to use the discrete GPU?

Short story, I'm trying to make Steam library on my secondary harddrive which I got mounted in /mnt/hdd1, but even with the console Steam fails to add my library folder on /mnt/hdd1/steamapps. After searching for a while, people said that modifying /etc/fstab adding exec seemed to fix this issue for them, but jokes on me, when I try to mount the drive using the fstab, my line automatically (and magically) changes to noexec, no matter what I do (I literally tried everything at this point). Could anyone please give me one way to force the exec when mounting the drive? thx :)

PD: If anyone has got a fix for this I would kiss them on the lips

Context: I am running ubuntu 24 lts with a NVIDIA gpu (3060 ti) and multiple monitors with different resolutions and refresh rates. I am currently on x11 and its just not a great experience. even just basic visuals are horrible when both monitors are on (for gaming I disable the second monitor, but even then GSYNC doesn't work). I tried switching to wayland with KDE plasma desktop and it worked beautifully at first, but then the whole system crashed and i couldnt get it to work even after hours of debugging (even Ubuntu on wayland just doesnt work for me).

Thing is, I want it to be ubuntu-based distro for work purposes (the actual GUI can be similar or different to GNOME; i dont care about that).

So I want a ubuntu-based distro that does well with NVIDIA GPUs and stable drivers that doesnt have issues with x11 or wayland or whatever the distro uses, and for the love of god I want to be able to work on both monitors without getting an aneurysm (not asking to be able to game with both monitors on, thats probably a pipe dream lol). I'd appreciate any insight.
