Proton has been working fairly well for me; except I get a lot of audio crackles and pops (no snaps though) while a game is running.

Is there anyway to fix this?

I'm running endeavour OS.

Heyyy I'm a noob to Linux, but still installed Cachyos to try out gaming on Linux. I usually update the system with pacman but also did it with yay last time. I did a reboot and was welcomed by an infinite black screen with an underscore in the left upper corner. After some troubleshooting I think it is because there is a version mismatch between my GPU drivers (NVIDIA). The core proprietary driver "nvidia" seems to be older then the rest, which seems to lead to conflicts because of the dependencies.

So the drivers version on AUR is older, than its dependencies I think. How long does it usually take, for authors of packages like these to give us the AUR version of the upstream nvidia driver? (It's online on NVIDIA's website already) Or is there another way? Downgrading the rest of them always lead me to different kinds of version conflicts, but I think I never tried downgrading all of them at once. Any other advice is welcome!

PS: I can't use open nvidia driver, because I am a poor student still running a 1080

I downloaded steam and logged in, and its not opening past the "reading user data" and it freezes the center of my screen for 1-2 seconds every 6-7 seconds. Any fix? I'm baby new to linux.

I've tried unistalling using

sudo apt autoremove steam

But it tells me 'steam:i386' is not installed. And I can't find a way to install it

While my program spawns multiple windows, I want one window to be fullscreen (the others can be in the background or ignored).

Currently, I'm studying Japanese via immersion (actively engaging with Japanese media). To facilitate this, I use a piece of software called Textractor which reads the memory of the game to get the Japanese text, which I can then create flashcards for etc..

For this, it needs to run in the same wineprefix. I do this by running a bat script via cmd.exe. Textractor spawns two windows, which I need to use to inspect the text being monitored. However, after this is configured, I no longer need to use the window (since it puts the text in my clipboard). Configuration must be done via the gui every time. After it's configured, I want to fullscreen to play the game.

My problem is that gamescope is very inconsistent on my system. Most of the time it doesn't. I get a (EE) failed to read Wayland events: Connection reset by peer.. I couldn't find much information on this online. When gamescope does work, there doesn't seem to be a clear way to cycle between windows (I see another)

Some additional info:

• I use River on Arch Linux Using river to toggle fullscreen mode just puts the window in the corner with black bars filling the rest of the screen.
• I have tried gamescope-git and gamescope
• gamemoded is running (via systemd). However, I get this strange error with gamemoded -t:

​

GameMode ERROR: Could not connect to bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-14qcO5Zlmf: No such file or directory ERROR: gamemode_query_status failed: Could not connect to bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-14qcO5Zlmf: No such file or directory! ERROR: is gamemode installed correctly?

I do start my window manager with dbus-run-session so I'm not sure what the problem is here? This could be a red herring though.

• winetricks virtual desktop I have tried configuring a virtual desktop via winetricks but this configuration seems to be ignored? I also frequently get errors while doing this.

Apologies for the essay but I'd appreciate any direction. I've spent way too much time on this lol.

I'm trying to get Command Modern Operations to run on Linux through Steam. I've installed Proton GE 9.13 on the sim's Steam compatibility line. Now I need to enter the following command on my Terminal. But when I do, I get the following response. What's wrong? Anyone know how to fix this?

Hey. Sorry for all the noobish questions now, I'm new to Linux in general but very very willing to learn.

Been thinking about doing this forever, got a new NVME drive a while ago so i had to reinstall my OS and tried W11 which i absolutely hate.

Which made me think about, why not try Linux at the same time.

Decided to try out the flavor Mint since it seems to be very close looking to Windows, so it's not something that's completely unrecognizable.

My main use of my computer is mostly gaming, scrolling the web and video editing from time to time.

So i have installed Mint on a separate SSD instead of creating a partition on my main drive which i felt was easier to do, way easier to separate the OS'es.

Been setting some things up and i have to say, the overall user experience of Mint is actually amazing. For a complete beginner with this Distro, it's doing a great job at holding my hand to explain everything.

First thing i'm wondering about, i installed Steam and tried to do some gaming, but the only games i could get to run through steam was Dota and CS2, no other game even launched even though steam said it was launching the game. From a little reading, my understanding is that this happens because the drive i have these game on is a NTSF drive, and Linux doens't seem to like that filesystem if i understand it correctly, i however got Dota and CS to run so my question is, why does Valve games run fine like this, but other games don't (games i tried was Marvel Rivals, Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8 and Silent Hill 2, same issue with all games and all games are certified on Protondb). Does this mean i have to format this drive as a ext4 drive instead to be able to run the games on it? This is a drive that only contains games, games are already installed on them and i have been gaming on Windows with this.

Second thing i'm wondering about, i have some games that i have gotten from a friends GoG library, since it's DRM free i got to login to his account to download these installers to my PC. What is the easiest way to get these to work on Linux, since they're not connected to GoG galaxy, it's just folders with a .exe in it. Been looking into Wine and from what i understand, i need Wine to get this to work but exactly how?

The games here are Cyberpunk 2077 and Stalker 2.
Can i somehow install these games with the .exe files, i guess through wine somehow? and then launch them through steam with Proton or does that only work with games owned and installed directly through steam?

Third thing and this is something i really don't understand that well when it comes to Linux. GPU drivers, how do they actually work? From what i have gathered there's drivers baked into the Kernel when downloading it from the site and it's an out of the box experience but, how do i keep them updated? And how do i know i am up to date on the drivers? I have a AMD RX 7700 XT GPU.

Fourth thing, and maybe this isn't something i should ask here but, pirated games like fitgirl packs, can they work through Linux in a easy way?
Reason i am asking is because i do this sometimes to demo games basically. I don't want to spend $70 on something i'm not even sure i will like and 2 hours is not enough of time to know if i would like a game or not so i rather go this way to demo games.

Very very sorry for the noobish questions, but i really want to go away from Windows as much as possible since i absolutely don't like Windows 11 that much at all and it feels weird to go back to Windows 10 since the support for it will end anyways.

I visited protondb, but none of the fixes did much except going to proton 6,3-8, which allowed me to log in. I could then choose my character, but when trying to play, i get error "lettucebeard". Alternatively, if i go back to the latest proton, i get an error about a missing or corrupt file at ../../Athena/Content/Paks/Core_[some sort of hash or id or something]-Windows-Client_P47.pak, referencer : N/A, error code : P06. I also installed Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime, to no changes

I am trying to update my Nvidia driver

Currently I have the 550 diver, but I would like to update.

If I open software properties qt the only option for 570 is "nvidia-driver-open-server". What does "server" means in this case?

I am running kubuntu 24.04.2 LTS with the kernel 6.8.0.55-generic

And a 4070 ti super

It's seems that the reason this game doesn't work on linux because of the EA's anti-cheat.

I don't care about not being able to play online.

Just got my 9070xt Pulse and using EndeavourOS. I dont seems to get custom fan curve working. I tried to make the fans spin by setting lower temp target. Like at 29C and the card is at 30C. But the fans dont start to spin.

Has anyone tried Lact with the 9070xt? Do i need to use lact-git perhaps?
