Steam (System Package) shows "Disk Write Error" when trying to download games on fstab auto-mounted exFAT

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30 Sep 2025 - 3:06pm

I'm at my wit's end and this problem had been occurring since Kernel v6.14.

This first appeared on Linux Mint when I upgraded to 22.2 (a few days ago). I'm currently on Fedora 42 and I thought changing distros would fix the problem.

This is the snippet from "fstab" that I'm using to mount my game partition.

# Games

UUID=7AE7-DC01 /media/Games exfat defaults,user,exec,umask=000,fmask=000,dmask=000 0 0

Setting the mount point to /home/User_Name/Games didn't fix the problem either.

"Fsck" didn't find any problems at all.

Is there any way to fix this issue by modifying the mount options?

This never happened up to Kernel v6.8 back when I was on Mint.

Thinking about switching back to Windows

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30 Sep 2025 - 3:00pm

Some months ago i ran ZorinOS just checking linux out and it was a pretty good experience, but i built a new PC and after first failure to install linux i just stayed with Windows 10 for a while.

Now that Windows 10 support is ending, i checked out PopOS and my experience has been a bit worse than Zorin, and for gaming it is pretty terrible. Games not only run worse (with games like Hell Let Loose being unplayable, which were very playable on Zorin), but also look worse (except Arma 3, which actually looks a bit better imo).

With that said, was this just an issue with the OS and included AMD drivers? I am not sure whether i should try out some other OS and see if its better or just switch to Windows 11 (with removed teleometry). My primary focus on my PC is gaming and while i like linux when it comes to basic tasks, it annoys me to look around for tutorials for an hour just to play a game. Need some help & advice

Picture in Picture on Brave Browser

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30 Sep 2025 - 1:42pm

I am quite new to Linux, I use Ubuntu, and I noticed that when I want to play some youtube video in picture in picture mode (on brave browser), it is like a new window, and does not remain on top when I use other windows.
How can I fix it?

Well, now that the game is apparently dying, do y'all think Epic Games will change their minds and allow Linux support just to get more players?

I announced my game about a month ago, and now we have more than 5000 wishlists!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30 Sep 2025 - 12:34pm

Hey Guys!

I started to "publicly show" my game about a month ago and I am very happy to announce that my game Paddle Together crossed 5000 wishlists!

The demo is also out, we launched it this Friday and had very critical issues on the weekend (server was constantly crashing so we changed the whole structure) but now everything is fine and I started get positive reviews! (I still have one "lobby" bug, I've been working on it for like 3-4 hours, pretty close to solve it)

If you want to check the demo out:

Gonna wait for your feedbacks!

Thanks,

Bazzite Black screens (with open things still functioning)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30 Sep 2025 - 9:48am

Hi, I am a new linux user (begin with steam OS on my deck) and now I have my laptop with Rtx 3060 with bazzite. First days was fantastic but now suddendly in random times the screen begin to turn total black, the strange thing about it is that is not the screen itself, because for example if I have chrome opened, the lower bar with bazzite symbol, chrome, volume etc.. began to disappear and reappear every 2 second and then crash. Leaving me on chrome that is still functional but if I close It I have the entire screen black with only the mouse.
any tips?

MangoHud and Gamescope not able to run game in steam.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30 Sep 2025 - 9:30am

I am using Debian 12 with i3wm. I installed Steam, ProtonGE, ProtonTricks, ProtonQT-Up through flatpak. And i installed the MangoHUD and Gamescope also from Flatpak but the runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.<MangoHud/gamescope>/x86_64/25.08 version. Now in steam i installed Cube Escape.Paradox to test it out and in the properties general i put the following command

env MANGOHUD_CONFIG="fsr,fps_value,gamemode" gamemoderun gamescope --mangoapp -w 640 -h 380 -W 1920 -H 1080 -F fsr -f %command%

But then the game is not openning. Even removing the part before gamemoderun still facing the same problem. What to do.

Has anyone put Fedora on a Steam Deck and how did it go?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30 Sep 2025 - 6:59am

I love my Steam Deck but not crazy about Steam OS. Thinking about putting Fedora on it since that's what I use on desktop and I think it would click better with me since it's what I'm comfortable with/learning on. Has anyone had any particular issues with it? In an idea scenario I'd basically run Fedora on all of my devices, but I want to make sure everything works first. I haven't seen any reports of any issues doing it.
