I've been trying at this for a couple of days but can't seem to get it locked down... for some reason xvi will hang with the wayland driver enabled, but when i use gamescope it has a whole host of issues too. it'll crash on boot most of the time and when it does manage to get in game, hdr doesn't seem to work properly at all. I'm on the newest mesa driver (25.2 git) and have tried different versions of proton (ge proton 10-3 and cachyos proton) with no luck. it launches consistently with proton 9, but all versions of proton 9 don't have support for FSR 4 which IS something I want to use... I realize that what I might be trying to do might not be there quite yet between the shift in how hdr works in games because of the wayland driver and FSR 4 still being early days, but do you guys have any advice?

Hello, i just set up my tasoller on cachyos to play umiguri. Everything was working fine but I now realize umiguri wasnt able to read (or possibly detect) the chart files. Does anybody who play umiguri on linux know how to fix this?

I've wanted HDR on Linux since 2018, and been following it ever since. Thought we would get HDR with Stadia (2019), or from the Steam Deck (2022) (we kinda did?). But I haven't been able to use it on my desktop PC properly. Gamescope does kinda work, but I found it to be unreliable.

Fortunately everything appears to be working for me now, and the instructions to follow what I did are pretty easy:

• 6.14.7 kernel
• AMD hardware
• Gnome + Wayland
• Use HDR Display
• Set launch options to DXVK_HDR=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%
• Use Proton GE 10-3

The only downside is I get this new controller bug when I do this. I see "Remote desktop" every time I try to do anything and it's really annoying. Probably related to:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1dq7rkp/i_get_this_prompt_every_time_i_plug_in_my_steam/
• https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10442

Honestly I am not certain the bug is caused by HDR, or maybe it's just the game I am playing. But it's certainly progress!

Hey all i recently installed ubuntu 22.04 lts and tried to get guild wars 2 to run. When choosing proton i tried everything. 9 gave me an error that i needed direct x or updated drivers (i have a amd radeon 9070) and when trying experimental, GE i briefly have a cursor and sound but for the rest black screen which then turns into a full black screen no noise no cursor on my main monitor and my second monitor turns green. I have tested another game (mu complex) which runs fine. Anyone have an idea what could be going on?

This exact same error occurs when I try to run this program using Lutris as well.

From stuff I've seen on ProtonDB for the game, Proton Experimental should have decent results on Ubuntu.

I have also installed wine, if that's needed for anything.

This is the specific log on terminal, something about how proton isn't supported?

I'm not exactly sure what this means.

There's also the result for the CPU info:

Please let me know if this is enough information, or if more is needed or something. I'm new to linux, so please be kind if the fix is super obvious!

Pretty exciting news for handheld gaming. I dont have a ROG or any other competitor devices, but I just think its awesome Valve basically gave their competition this OS for free. Have any of you installed it on one of your own handheld devices? How did it run?

Recently, I switched out my Fedora installation with Nobara since Fedora wouldn't stop giving me kernel panics after each update for some reason. Not sure why it would do that, but after installing Nobara twice (I first installed it through Legacy, not UEFI. My mistake), my experience was almost flawless and I couldn't find anything wrong whatsoever, especially after the update from Nobara 41 to Nobara 42. Even though I am aware Bazzite exists, which I believe is the same thing as Nobara except it being immutable, I decided to check whether or not either or is better for my Ryzen 5 3600 rig, and I was somehow intrigued how people were having questionable experiences/opinions/etc about Nobara; however, it is not uncommon for Bazzite to share similar tendencies. i should mention it's posts are are a few months apart, so make of that what you will.

TL;DR, Given that my experience with Nobara has been pretty great so far, and I'd presume Bazzite would be just as good too, what's the kerfuffle with Nobara?

I played each game until this door in the intro.

I'm a little disappointed at the average FPS loss on Linux but I was surprised to see that the 0.1 percent lows were better. Even though the Windows version was higher FPS, it felt a little worse because it stuttered more often, whereas the Linux one was buttery smooth but with less FPS.

Which version would you take?

Yeah so the game is capable of running on Arch now. It's thanks to the help of u/darvs7. Apparently they really didn't need to do that invasive a change of the code, just update the libraries for the modern era, and update the makefile as well.

My thanks to you, darvs! It's thanks to you that this game is currently even running.

Basically, out of all the comments, darbs just posted a screenshot of them playing the game, and I asked him what he did, and he forked my repo with the changes..

Dependencies are mostly the same, so allegro4, ogg, vorbis, adime, DUMB, etc with the new inclusions of podman and fuse-overlayfs.

The working fork is available at https://github.com/darvs/Monster-Monster-Asteroid-Madness.git

just run it with -b darvs1 mmam-darvs, enter the directory, make, enter output, and run the install shell script and you can play the game by typing mmam into your console.

Hey all! Dota 2 got an update yeasterday, and my game is now freezing/crashing. I play for around 1 minute, then the game freezes for 10 seconds, and I get disconnected from the match with the error "Communication with the remote host has been disrupted". I tried to restart the game, no success.

After I abandoned my match, I removed all launch options and started a game with bots. No success (now the game doesn't disconnect because I'm the host, which makes me think that this is some sort of rendering problem). Reinstalled the game, no bueno. The freezes don't happen when watching matches, though.

Unsure on what to do! Any help is recommended!

I am running Steam/Dota on a Fedora Bazzite, amd GPU and CPU.

Alright, so I was having an issue with Steam not recognizing my Nvidia dGPU after updating the Nvidia drivers. Turns out you need to also run "flatpak update com.valvesoftware.Steam" every time you change your driver version and download the corresponding Steam Flatpak, which I was unaware of. Hopefully this saves someone time down the line. Have a great day!

Hi, I want to start daily driving linux even tho most games I play don't work but I need advice on which distro to choose that has good support for AMD GPUs (7900xt in my case) and CPUs (9800x3d in my case).

Hi! I have a build with the following specs:

Ryzen 7 7800x3d Nvidia 4080 super 32gb RAM

im dual booting with windows on one ssd and cachyos on the other. I am interested in swapping over to linux full time for gaming and everything else. Im also by a micro center for the next day or two and they have a 9070xt for $700 (ASRock AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Steel Legend).

My question is this:

Should i sell my 4080 super and swap to the 9070xt? Will the performance on the 9070xt be better than the nerfed nvidia performance on the 4080 super?

Edit: i play in 4k on a 4k monitor with VRR

Halo MCC keeps fatal erroring not matter which Proton version i use

many other steam games either don't launch or launch on the wrong monitor or even insanely slow. for example, Distance popped up on external monitor, GRIP Combat Racing launches like total shit etc...i know they both should work cuz i saw it on protondb

To start with, my hardware is full AMD - a Ryzen 5 7600 paired with RX 7700 XT, not exactly the newest tech on the scene.

Been using Mint for a couple weeks now and I'm happy with it, but I just have this constant feeling that playing games on Mint is suboptimal and that I should change distros, despite me liking every other aspect of Mint.

I hang around some Linux gaming communities and seems that my fears are often "confirmed" by some people saying that Mint isn't ideal for playing games and that one should use a distro like Arch or Fedora for the best experience. The biggest complaints I've heard about Mint when it comes to gaming are old packages and the Cinnamon desktop sometimes not playing nice despite having compositing in full screen turned off.

My PC isn't "gaming-only" so to speak, it's multi-purpose - sometimes I spend days doing work on it and sometimes all I want to do is just play some games in peace, so gaming-oriented distros like Bazzite and Nobara seem a little too much for me.

So far I'm playing games like War Thunder and Cyberpunk, both of which run well, except for Cyberpunk having the one problem of weird annoying shadow/shader artifacts in certain situations which I've yet to fix. Other than that I'm not really running into problems.

I don't really know what my question is, I guess I'm just paranoid that I've picked the wrong distro. I don't want to end up sinking too much time making myself at home when I'll probably just hop distros soon enough. If it does come to that though, I'd be perfectly happy on something like Fedora KDE, but I'd rather change distros as a final resort.

One script logs game session start time/date and the duration you played. The other calculates the total playtime for each game and the sum total and puts it into a summary log for easy viewing. Rest explained here :
