The grub theme works fine but there is a black square that pops up before any of the options actually boot. Any idea how to fix this?

I’m having an issue where games run fine initially, but after a few minutes the window becomes inaccessible or freezes (black screen with “wait or force quit”). Steam still shows the game as running.

This happens across multiple games like Fallout New Vegas and Dying Light.

System info:

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS
• Kernel: 6.17.0-19-generic
• Desktop Environment: GNOME 46 (Xorg)
• CPU: Ryzen 5 4600H (with integrated Radeon graphics)
• GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1650 Mobile (4GB VRAM)
• Driver: 580.126.09
• RAM: 8GB
• Swap: 4GB
• Display: X11 (not Wayland)
• Steam: Flatpak

Hybrid GPU setup:
This is a laptop with AMD iGPU + NVIDIA dGPU (Optimus).

Behavior:

• Game runs normally for a few minutes
• Then either:
  • window disappears / cannot be focused
  • or black screen with “wait or force quit”
• Steam still shows the game as running
• Audio continues even after the window becomes inaccessible
• No NVIDIA Xid errors in dmesg

What I’ve tried:

• Different Proton versions (7, 8, Experimental, GE)
• Clearing compatdata and shader cache
• Resetting Steam runtime
• Disabling Steam overlay
• Running in windowed / borderless mode
• Trying gamescope (made it worse)

edit :-

• prime-select query returns "on-demand"
• Trying to switch to nvidia gives: "Error: no integrated GPU detected"

• So it seems the system is effectively running NVIDIA-only.

So ive been wanting to try out genshin impact for a long time but whenever i ask chatgpt or gemini if genshin impact can run and provide playable fps ( 25 or 30 ) it says that it would most likely be a slideshow instead of fun experience.

Is it possible to run genshin impact on latitude e5520 with intel hd 3000, i5 2nd gen, 8 gb ram with linux mint 21? can i achieve atleast 25 or 20 fps ( not menu )?

Share your support,

THANKS !

There's rumors about it being in progress, and being able to get it working with https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1s2l0pj/discord_nvidia_hardwareaccelerated_screen_sharing/ seems to be proof, but I'm curious if anybody knows how the progress is of it yet? Somebody in a thread under that post says that they're inviting people to test the feature out.

Has anyone seen this?

I had it working fine for a while, but I moved my PC from the TV back to my desk and I get this weird windowing behaviour.

First screenshot is boarder less full screen, then Full Screen, then windowed.

Changing the resolution doesn't seem to help, and I tried the latest proton-GE and moved to kisak-fresh mesa.

I use the steam snap, but also tried with apt just in case.

I've also realised that it seems fine on launch but it's displaying the gnome top bar. But whenever I try to switch the windowing mode it messes up.

So, I'm trying to install some old 2000s games which I got from totally legit sources, but the problem is I'm confused what is best and optimal way to install from setup.exe files.
I seen people using the "Install using a windows Installer" option from the lutris plus icon, some other people created a prefix with the "add locally installed games" and then went with the "run exe inside wine prefix" option to install and some made the installer a separate game entry in lutris and then installed the game after launching that.

I'm confused, which one should I follow?

I also have some other questions like is it better to separate the prefixes and installation folders of games, and do I uncheck the "DirectX update" and "C++ installation" options in the installer.

Also, will old titles like COD 4 or NFS MW (2005) run using the new ge-proton runner or do I need specific older proton or wine versions (or even specific builds) for them?

Nobara user here. I’m currently chewing through some old games that use PhysX. The trouble is I can’t get them to run well with PhysX, as all of the simulations go to the CPU. Any help ? How do I fix the PhysX performance drop ?

Welcome to Orebits, a gritty atmospheric incremental game where you mine asteroids for a greedy corporation and explore mysteries in space.

The playtest is ready now on the Steam page:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3635490/Orebits/

Are you a Linux gamer, then I would love to hear your feedback!
On the main menu you will find a survey. Our two man team has been working on Orebits for about a year (part-time) and it will only take you a few minutes to judge it :).

Orebits will have native Linux support, for the demo and the final release.

Thanks a lot!
