When I run games using a version of Proton 9, things work fine. However Proton 10 does not. Tried the stock beta, GE versions through 10-3, and experimental). It seems like it's something to do with Python because I get the following errors in the terminal that don't show up when running something using Proton 9:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/steam/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Proton 10.0/proton", line 1847, in <module> g_session.init_session(sys.argv[1] != "runinprefix") File "/steam/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Proton 10.0/proton", line 1754, in init_session g_compatdata.setup_prefix() File "/steam/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Proton 10.0/proton", line 1163, in setup_prefix setup_openvr_paths() File "/steam/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Proton 10.0/proton", line 333, in setup_openvr_paths contents = json.load(file) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/json/__init__.py", line 293, in load return loads(fp.read(), File "/usr/lib/python3.9/json/__init__.py", line 346, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/json/decoder.py", line 337, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/json/decoder.py", line 355, in raw_decode raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

So I know there's already such a post, but it's from three years ago here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/xm2u3j/best_linux_gaming_laptop_out_there/

If say I wanted to buy a Linux laptop now or in the future, which would I go for? The reason I'm asking, is AMD is not currently making their Advantage series laptops, which would be my go-to as AMD graphics are less of a hassle with Linux. Framework would be out of question as well, because I currently have an RX7600 and a Ryzen 7945 for less than 1K and they're asking 2,3K (WTF) for RX7700 and the same processor.

Tested with a RTX 3070, up-to-date drivers (570.144 atm) and KDE Plasma. I'm using the non-opensource Nvidia diver & kernel module, GSP firmware disabled on Wayland due to issues.

On X11 it worked fine. Not sure if it actually used my regular system RAM but at least I never ran out of VRAM.

On Wayland it's not working correctly. It either freezes the game (e.g. Total War Warhammer 3) or the game becomes very laggy (<30fps, e.g. Resident Evil 2 Remake) if I set the graphics settings so high that they sometimes need more VRAM than I have. Also other applications freeze (e.g. Discord on my second screen) and I need to minimize & maximize their windows again.

Is there any way to fix this? Limiting the available VRAM in the dxvk config didn't do the trick for e.g. Total War Warhammer 3.
At the moment I have to lower my graphics settings, to not consume too much VRAM.

Does anyone else have this issue and possibly a solution? I'm on an AMD system with a Nvidia GPU. I tried Proton 9.04, Experimental and the new GE 10.3.

So a few weeks ago I got a 4K 32" monitor and when i first hooked it up my distro (Fedora 42, Gnome, Wayland) set the scale to 150%. All seemed good.
Then in games I noticed that my mouse would keep escaping the focus of the game and land on my second monitor which was pretty unusable, I had to keep in mind not to move the mouse fast towards the direction of my second screen. Also there were other problems like weird resolution setting in games which would sometimes really tank the performance.
I've been now using the scale at 100% but everything is just too small and I'm kinda tired of it.
Does anyone know know solutions to those issues? Is there some reported bug or planned fix someone knows about? Is it Gnome or Wayland issue or maybe even something else?
Thanks in advance

I'm trying to play modded Skyrim, but the GPU i think is getting power spikes, this also happened on windows. There i solved it by just limiting GPU power to -2% and it seemed to work.

How do i do that here? Because i think my GPU is triggering the PSU overdraw protection, and my computer resets mid gameplay. It's not overheating because i set the fan curve to be pretty aggressive and i haven't seen it go past 80C on the hotspot so it must be the power thing.

Weirdly enough, Skyrim seems to be the only game doing this. I guess modded Skyrim is the GPU final boss. That or modded Minecraft. :P

Hello! Anyone use the 8bitdo ultimate 2 wireless controller and experiencing ghost inputs?

Been playing Khazan on Steam and randomly the right trigger activates even when im not holding the controller. Steam input is disabled. I'm using it on Arch and Fedora 42 with the xpad-noone kernel module as I also use xone for my xbox series controller.

I did notice that if I switch the trigger mode from long to short, the issue goes away. Is my controller defective? I just got it new.

Hello everyone, I'm quite new to Linux and I've been reading all the posts going through here and other places just trying to learn more. I've been using Linux mint for about 2 months now and it's been fantastic. I rly enjoy Linux and want to keep it as my main OS. The problem is certain games I miss being able to play on windows. So this is sort of an opinion based question that will hopefully be informative for other new users who come across this same problem.

For games that can't be played on Linux is it more efficient to use a virtual machine, or dualboot?

I've watched some tutorials and setting up a virtual machine seems abit intimidating for someone without much experience. I'm not really sure of the pros and cons of using a VM for gaming vs dualbooting. If anyone could share some info it'd be appreciated!

Last year i decided to give Linux a shot and gave mint a try duel booting with windows and to my surprise i didn't hate it but ended up just sticking with windows, until last week.

So i went full in and wiped my drives. I installed Mint Cinnamon 22 and have been getting to know it some more. Im on a full AMD system, AM4 socket with a 5800x3d, 32gb ram, 7900xt GPU, two different monitors of the same resolution (one has freesnyc) and a 5.1 surround sound bar connected to the GPU with HDMI.

The problem i have is very jittery game play in every game i have tried so far. I get good FPS. Having looked around i tried a couple suggestions like lowering the refresh rate on my main monitor from 165hz to 144 and disconnecting all but the main monitor.

That actually works and the jitters go away but i dont want to be unplugging and plugging those connections all the time and id like to actually use the second monitor while gaming and use the speakers instead of the headset a lot of the time too.

I tried using the same resolution and refresh rate on both monitors and funny enough the sound bar because both windows and linux sees the sound bar as an actual screen from what i gather is the signal from HDMI.

Is there a fix for this i haven't found? Maybe i need two identical monitors both with freesync?
