I'm at the point where I'm ready to switch over to Linux as a daily driver but one thing has been bugging me. Whenever I install any game from Steam and Heroic, it creates a folder with its respective Wine/Proton prefix, and holy shit, these are pretty damn big. Often times the prefixes are as large as game installations themselves.

I've heard you can just create a singular Wine prefix but there's a huge chance you'll run into issues the more games you install. Is there any workaround to this? I have my games installed on a large hard drive but my OS installation is on a somewhat small SSD.

I am having an issue where the mouse leaves the game window if I move the mouse too fast or I get stunned. I have googled a bit and this is not a Linux exclusive issue, people report it on windows as well. I am using borderless full screen because the game minimizes on lost focus if I set it to full screen and I have never found a way to prevent proton games from doing that. I can't use gamescope, the current version of gamescope just crashes, an older version "works" but with serious performance degredation and visual artifacts.

I would love to just find a way to prevent games from minimizing on lost focus when set to fullscreen, but finding a way to keep the mouse restricted to the game window will suffice.

Hi!

Does anyone have Linux specific tweaks and advice for this game?

Cause you know how it is, googling a specific problem mostly results in windows fixes like "go to control panel of nvidia whatever" etc. which is of course unavailable here.

My rig:

Ryzen 5 5600g
32 GB DDR4 3200Mhz
RX 7800 XT
m.2 nvme
openSUSE Tumbleweed Gnome wayland

Playing the game on "very high", 1440p, and the FPS is just all over the place. Sometimes it's stable, going into the 100s, then drops to 40, then the cutscene plays and it's a constant 30FPS, then i go back playing, and it's switching between 60-80 every 2 seconds...

According to ProtonDB, i put DXVK_FRAME_RATE=75 RADV_PERFTEST=gpl gamemoderun %command% as launch options and that got rid of the 30FPS cutsecenes bug, but the FPS is still not smooth. Using latest GE proton.

Is there anything else i can do? Cause according to the system requirements, this game should run on Ultra lol.

Coromon is one of the better monster-taming / creature collecting Pokémon-likes that I've played and now the series is getting a new and rather different entry with Coromon: Rogue Planet.

Breaks your system. Not sure exactly which generations are affected...

So I’ve just setup Fedora 40 as I’m making the switch from Windows to Linux as I’ve finally decided to respect myself :)

I’ve got Steam setup and am able to play my games with no trouble at all, I’ve also setup ALVR to play my VR games from my Quest 3.

I’m now in the process of looking for a launcher. Ideally I want it to have the following features;

• Ability to create “Categories” which you can manually sort games into.
• Ability to add icons, banners, and cover art to titles.
• Modern UI design (no specific style just anything that doesn’t look like it came from 1999)
• Proton/Wine support (I mean in terms of being able to launch the games from the launcher using proton natively.
• Ability to add custom launch scripts for games in addition to or replacing executables.

I’m not sure if something exists that does just this but if it does please let me know! Additionally I’m curious as to what you guys use if anything as an all in one launcher. If this doesn’t exist I might look into developing something so let me know if it will be of interest!!

TIA

Currently reviewing well from users on Steam is Nordhold: Origins, a free tower defense game with high replayability where you build up a medieval Nordic village.

As the title suggests, I was looking at the Nacon Revolution Pro 5 as a general use controller, but I want to know first if it works well on Linux or not.

Looking to buy a handheld, and I can't really find a review that covers my use case. Any help is appreciated.

• I have a gaming PC for heavy game. So I don't care about running eldenring or cyberpunk or wukong, etc. But I'd love to run baldur's gate 3 on it.
• I don't want windows. I won't buy a game that doesn't work on linux. I'm okay with installing bazzite or tinkering with Linux.
• best battery/screen/service preferred. But this seems to be the tough part of the choice.
• (edit) probably won't dock it

What do you guys recommend?

Switched to Tumbleweed recently, loving it so far; and have had zero trouble playing any of the games in my library.

Of course though, my first major issues come from CS2, the first AAA game I've tried to play in a very long time. I''m having this crazy resolution issue. Basically, my personal preference is usually playing at 4:3 at 1600x1200, but when I enable that the quality takes a major drop far beyond what it should be, and also doesn't allow me to select 165hz as a refresh rate. (I know that using 4:3 does obviously decrease quality somewhat, but I'm talking like an insane loss in resolution that isn't normal for 1600x1200)

The only way I can use 165hz is by playing at 16:9 and 2560x1440, which I don't really want to do unless there's a way to fix this?

My desktop is on X11, was also wondering if I should switch to Wayland if that would improve anything in this regard.

I don't know if it's relevant- but I have a full AMD setup with a 7800x3d and an RX 7800xt.

Any fixes to this?
