New to Linux gaming. Any ideas?
Trying to run MTGA and BTD6 straight from Steam. Same thing happens to the game. Anyone encountered something similar before?

Thinking About Switching Linux But Unsure About What Distro I Should Use
So this will be for my main pc rig. I do gaming and I game with my friends and chat on discord with occasional game modding (fallout new Vegas for example). Any recommendations? I’m not a newb to the Linux space, I’ve previously used Solus and PopOs but it’s been such a long time since I e done it. I’ve seen bazzite on JayzTwoCents, obviously Solus and PopOs, I’ve heard virtually nothing about SteamOs. So I’d appreciate any insight or recommendations.

Steam Notifications Don't Respect Waybar [Hyprland]
I am having a problem with Steam, specifically the toast notifications are over top of waybar in hyprland. That is to say, steam is not respecting the reserved area. Does anyone have a solution to this beyond just turning them off? Is it possible to send the toasts through a notification daemon?

Proton Experimental gets fixes for DualSense, God Eater Resurrection, Crysis 3, Resident Evil Village and more
Is Microcock secretly paying gaming companies to not support linux?
With the recent TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot requirements in more and more games, which do not help against cheaters, is this a clear sign that Microsoft is abusing their monopoly?

What OS to use?!
Hey guys, I am literally stuck at the first step. Primarily because I am not the end user, my daughter(11) is.
I share all of the age appropriate games from my library through Steam Family sharing. I’ve been a fairly regular Linux user over the years, just never for gaming because it didn’t really seem viable until the last few years.
Ubuntu/Mint/Raspbian/Graphene
I’m kind of tempted to just dump SteamOS on the laptop and call it a day but I know(?) it’s not optimized for Laptops(yet).
Any recommendations?
Hardware :
CPU : Kaby Lake i7
GPU : nVidia GTX 1060
RAM : 32GB DDR3

VC Runtime required while trying to play Grounded
This is on steam and I've tried installing VC Runtime 2010, 13 and 19 (SteamDB says those are the ones required) through ProtonTricks multiple times and just by running the EXE in the games target.

Nvidia Smooth Motion
So i recently found out that Nvidia Smooth Motion now works on the 40 series cards, after the recent driver updates. Does this also work on linux? Is it also done by editing the environment variable?

noob help
Hello, all,
I don't consider myself a "computer person," but I was just so sick of Microsoft that I got through installing Linux Mint Cinnamon on my HP Envy laptop. I'm also a console gamer, but I've always wanted to get into PC gaming
A family emergency meant I sat in the hospital for a couple days and to pass the time I successfully installed Steam. I had my heart set on Tales of the Shire, but I can't get it to run (I know this game has had a rough go, but I am all about the hobbit life!)
The game downloads and starts, but when I choose to start a new game, a loading screen comes up and it crashes and/or freezes right there and I have to hard reset if it freezes.
At first, I thought it was the internet connection available to me, but even at home it's doing the same thing.
It has AMD Ryzen 5 4500U and AMD Radeon graphics. I updated drivers. Is my laptop too old to run this game? Does the game just suck that bad :( it plays other games, so I don't think it's my Steam install that's the problem, though I have uninstalled and reinstalled Steam and Tales
halp :( I just wanna be a hobbit. Any and all advice welcome, but pls be gentle am noob

My Take on Linux & Open Source in 2025: AI, Security Drama, and Gaming
NaK 2.0.0 GO Release!
Hey all, I've finally released my long awaited update for NaK its now GO based. Here's the changelog:
Regedits should now work!
Synthesis also has a few fixes (if anyone knows how to fix this process is being used by another application please let me know)
I've now added the ability to auto select proton versions to experimental (credit to STL for having a small portable binary for me to use). It also has a automatic setup where you can go through the entire process of install dependencies as well now.
Cyberpunk and Baldur's Gate 3 no longer need you to add launch options, I believe I have it in a state where everything should work and be automatically added to the winecfg see list below:
dwrite(dwrite.dll) winmm(winmm.dll) version(version.dll) ArchiveXL(ArchiveXL.dll) Codeware(Codeware.dll) TweakXL(TweakXL.dll) input_loader(input_loader.dll) RED4ext(RED4ext.dll) mod_settings(mod_settings.dll) scc_lib(scc_lib.dll)For now Hoolamike and Sky Tex Opti are missing until they are updated some more.
Revamped the menus to make them feel less cluttered.
Hopefully that should be all for now, I will be looking into making a gui for users as well (steamdeck).
Let me know how it works for you guys! If it works at all that is, I've been working on getting this out. o7

Planning Destiny 2 GPU Passthrough on Linux — Any Custom Proton Forks or Kernel-Level Windows Emulation for EAC?
Hey everyone,
I’m a huge Destiny 2 fan and have a second GPU arriving soon. My plan is to use QEMU with GPU passthrough to run a Windows VM for the smoothest experience with Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC).
But I’m curious — is there any existing custom Proton or Wine fork that goes beyond user-mode emulation to fake Windows internals in a way that can hide or spoof what EAC checks for? Specifically, could a Proton fork fake Windows structures or APIs that EAC probes?
Also, is it theoretically (or practically) possible to build something that: • Emulates the Windows kernel-level hardware info that EAC inspects, • Manages or mimics the kernel-mode drivers EAC installs, and • Implements Windows system calls at the kernel level, essentially acting like a mini Windows kernel layer?
Not just Wine-level API stuff, but something deeper at the kernel/hardware abstraction level?
Would love to hear if anyone’s explored this or knows of projects attempting it. Is this feasible? Or is GPU passthrough basically the only way for now?
Thanks
