Hey all! I figured I'd write this relatively short guide because I couldn't find very many resources relating to my specific system. And because I don't think my system is particularly rare, I thought it'd be helpful to put here.

NOTE: I use GNOME, but I've tried to make this guide reasonable for KDE as well. Also, make sure you have HDR enabled in your DE before doing any of these steps.

1. GNOME ONLY STEP: Install the vk-hdr-layer for your distribution

• this step will vary from distro to distro
• i use fedora, so I had to install from this copr repository: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/vulongm/vk-hdr-layer/
• NOTE: this step may require a reboot
• from what I've read, this step isn't necessary for KDE users as the vk-hdr-layer was integrated starting with 6.0

2. Install GE-Proton10 (latest as of this post being GE-Proton10-3)

• allows you to enable the native wayland driver
• follow the installation instructions relating to your system: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

3. Open whatever game you want to play in HDR on Steam

• Click the gear, select properties, and set the following as your launch options

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%

• Then, go to compatibility and force the use of a specific proton and select the GE-Proton10 that you installed earlier

For AMD users (on MESA 25.1+), they only need the enable wayland and enable hdr commands, skipping the hdr_wsi command entirely. They also don't have to download the vk-hdr-layer.

4. Run the Game and Toggle HDR (if the game has an HDR toggle)

5. Enjoy!

This is a relatively short guide that seems simple in hindsight, but the amount of conflicting resources out there had me scrambling for hours trying to get this to work on Nvidia (thanks Jensen). Lastly, this is still all experimental, but its working great on my 4080S. Hope it helps!

Is there any way within wine to limit the number of available resolutions that are being presented to Windows apps?

I have a game that I am trying to get to 1920x1080 resolution, but there are a ton of them, and the menu doesn't scroll to get to the one I need. The only thing I can think of is to limit what os being presented.

Hey guys, need help, for some reason I keep getting either the Auto update or something is broken, I am running arch linux. I have tried purging wine, bottles and all files with the name battle net or even just battle. None of this seems to work. I have checked proxy setting, firewall rules all good there. but still won't work for me. help or guidance towards this would be amazing because I don't want to have to mess around with doing a fresh install. This was caused due to me going away for a month for work and not being able to update it over time (doubt this is what caused it but all I can put it down to).

I've been dual-booting Linux (PopOS) and Windows 11 for a while now, and the only thing stopping me from making the full switch is the fact that a few of my main games have zero Linux support and are unplayable. That got my curious brain wondering, what exactly do you need to do to make a game that doesn't work on Linux work? What kind of coding language(s) do you need to be fluent in to work on a project to bring a game to Linux? I'm full of questions that I can't find satisfactory answers to, so I figured I'd ask here.

This isn't me asking so I can just get up and do it cause I know it's not THAT easy, I'm just easily overcome by curiosity and I gotta know.

I've been wanting to play Rivals without being locked to the lowest settings(else gpu hang) and 50% renderscaling(would be 720p) so i bought a new gpu

Lowering the settings would actually improve my framerate on the 5700xt, but on the 9070xt no matter what i do the framerate does not budge, it does look nicer but if i set the same settings i had on my 5700xt to have around 100fps i have less depending where im looking, if i fly to the corner of the practice range and look at the whole map i get about 18fps with max settings at 1440p, with the lowest settings at 720p(fsr3 performance 50% render scaling), still.. well, 19fps, unless i look at the empty skybox where i do see a difference between both setting (other than visuals)

Im running the game with SteamDeck=1 gamemoderun mangohud %command% on steam with its overlay disabled, none of my cpu cores ever get over 70%, my cpu sits at less than 40% usage

I love the stability(ironically) that the new 9070xt has, since running the game with anything not at the lowest setting on the 5700xt would just hang in less than 10sec in game

But I bought this gpu to have more frames than my 5700xt and i cant get more

I'm on Arch linux and this is just a problem thats above me
I've tried linux-firmware-git, mesa-git, using vulkan-radeon, amdvlk, vulkan-amdgpu-pro
I've also tried VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_0 to no avail

Is there anything I could do to claim back my 100fps from my old 5700xt, even with the lowest settings..

EDIT: so after trying everything again, it seems mesa-git with (vk_radv) works fine and i have 120 fps.. wow, i suppose i had the amdvlk taking over and i didnt notice, i might not have needed mesa-git

For the life of me I cannot get this working. I have no other mods but the Script Hook V files in the main game directory, however when I try using a mod (like the included Native Trainer) it simply doesn't work, no crashing, errors, or anything. I tried another since I have no numpad but no such luck.

I think I've narrowed the problem down to the dinput8.dll file, since when I set the override to "native" (instead of native, then builtin) in protontricks/winecfg, the game crashes a few seconds after launch; I think when it's on "native, then builtin" it just silently fails and falls back to the built in one as intended to avoid a crash. To confirm I removed the dinput8.dll file and the game runs, but still unmodded. So how do I fix it?

I've disabled Battle Eye in the launcher and steam arguments, I am using ProtonGE 10-3, and while I'm using the Rockstar Launcher version, I installed it as a non-Steam game. System specs here.

With Windows 10 nearing end of life I was thinking of switching over early and maybe even putting Linux on my old laptop but was wondering if there's any way to retain the data on my 3 ssds. My 1tb nvme ssd has Windows installed I'm ok with that getting wiped but I have a 2tb and 4tb sata ssd which has all my games and "legally" acquired movies, shows and games on it which I really don't want to be wiped especially the 4tb one

I've heard of stuff like making sure the drive is in a specific format or something but I'm super oblivious and don't know any details but I'm somewhat decent techwise so was hoping for some help on this

I play this game last week on my main SSD and uninstall for deep cleaning storage, and I want to play this game again but Steam won't allow me to install. I re-turn on the Steam Play compability but only this game on my library doesn't let me install. What should I do?

I've been gaming on Linux for over a year now on Kubuntu and I've been pleasantly surprised by how everything just works. My Nvidia GPU just works, games via Steam using Proton just work, and I can even take a Windows installer of a Windows game and stuff it into Bottles, install it, run it, and it just works.

This experience really makes me wonder what even is the point of a "gaming distro" like Bazzite? Did I get outrageously lucky with my experience? Does installing drivers and prerequisite shit for gaming suck on other distros like a Fedora or Arch which is why a curated distro makes sense? Please discuss and share your experiences.

I’m sure I’m missing something but is steam OS the easiest way to get a Arch Linux setup on a laptop while also making it gaming capable?

So I switched over to Nobara from windows 10 and was trying out different games when I came across this issue in Hogwarts Legacy that I can't seem to resolve.

I have tried Proton Exp, hotfix, GE-10.3, and GE-9.27. I looked through ProtonDB and couldn't find anything related to the issue other then people having lowres textures and low poly models.

Anyone seen this before?

I've been a linux user for about two years now, and since i am building a pc to get back into gaming, i wanna put manjaro in that bitch, but from the threads ive read and videos watched, performance on linux is bad.

I really don't want to go back to windows, but if performance is still like 30% lower than windows, ill have no choice to go back.

So hows performance on manjaro, arch and others looking currently.

I'd really appreciate any feedback you guys have

my TLDR opinion : - it works fine and I advocate for Linux gaming for people who play only steam games and don’t need to go through setups and vms - the performances were good - steam games worked plug and play often - if you want to play different stuff and especially competitive games with anti cheats it’s a lot of work, for each game - really happy with how Linux gaming evolved and the community it was awesome and I had a blast !

Earlier this year I attempted to switch from windows to Linux for gaming.

I play not that many games but they are very different and require a lot of different things, we will come back to that.

I went to bazzite first, it was really nice but I play sim racing, needed to make my wheel force feedback work and everything, it felt doable but the os restrictions were making it a bit too hard so I went over to Nobara

I loved it, many steam games worked out of the box I managed to get my simracing games work, the wheel and everything setup.

But I also play league, competitive shooter games, …

Playing league on Linux is doable, competitive shooters too.

I did make league work but when I wanted to play comp shooters I gave up, everything work and is doable but it’s so much effort when you want to do many different things, I wouldn’t have given up if I only played one kind of game

I’m not the happiest to back to windows but it’s a lot less work for my needs but for many people Linux gaming is viable and I would recommend it for sure !

On Wirusdows for quite sometime there was DLSSTweaker that overwrote the dll of DLSS and allowed to force denoise preset (those A, B, C...K ones) and forcing from what resolution DLSS was scalling the image to native resolution (like forcing 100% resolution meant DLAA in games that didn't offer such option).
Now the only way is through NoVidAI App or NoVidAI Inspector to do so.

I have few games that I play sometimes on Wirusdows and sometimes on Arch Linux (same installation instance, same files) and on Win I enjoy DLAA while on Linux I want to puke at the quality of DLSS (because it uses defaults for which such game was developed).

Is there a way to force such overwrites on Linux as well? I've searched, but either I wrote search prompts wrong or it's not a thing (yet?).

*I call Nvidia as NoVidAI as an insult

Anyone got a solution for that? I have no idea why is it doing that now, it was working just fine till a little ago.

Tried with most recent Proton versions, all of them have the same issue. Both GE and official.
