Basically whenever I play Yakuza 0 on arch linux through wine, it never saves the game no matter how hard I try it. I tried proton but on proton it would just say "unable to create interface isteamuser". I am really confused on what could be the issue. I have tried RDR1 as well with Proton and it's working perfectly but for Yakuza 0? Not so much. I tried Lutris as well and it doesn't do anything as well(other than giving additional fps drops)

My PC:
CPU: 12th Gen Intel i5-1235U (12) @ 4.400GHz
GPU: Intel Alder Lake-UP3 GT2 [UHD Graphics]
Memory: 7666MiB

I use arch btw

I got a second gpu recently and its been fun messing with VMs and such but I like to play games on proton that usually max out my VRAM, my second GPU is basically empty so I thought it could be cool to just render all my games on it, I looked online and nothing seems to work or its specifically for people with AMD and NVIDIA cards while I have 2 nvidia cards. steam seemingly just doesnt let me do this at all buut in heroic it actually did work by enabling the dedicated gpu setting which was mainly intended for laptops

in short I have 2 nvidia cards and I just want some help or guidance on how I could use my second gpu for game rendering could someone tell me or point me in the right direction with this? if you need more info just ask me

While we still have no idea when Deadlock from Valve will get a properly public launch, since it's still invite-only, they do keep expanding the game in some major ways. Another big update just rolled out to this third-person MOBA.

Hello,

So I don't know if it's just me but I recently decided to bite the bullet and sell my 4080 SUPER since I was able to sell it for a good price on Ebay and then bought a 7900XTX. I WAS planning to buy a 5090 when it comes out and then keep the 7900XTX as an extra card for testing, but I found out that thermals are much better on AMD for some reason. I don't know if it's because of my graphics card or because it's winter time where I live. Although for some reason compared to a week ago, my thermals on my 7900X are at minimum 42c and a max at 89c, although it used to get at hot at 93c when on NVidia. From my understanding the Zen 4 line makes it so it intentionally runs hot even in idle to max out performance, but I was thinking of upgrading to the 9800X3D in a few months once stock replenishes and was even considering replacing my AIO with a 360mm instead of the 240mm I have now. Still, I'd like to keep the AIO.

Anyway is it just me or are thermals somewhat better with an AMD GPU?

As the title said I made a badly written guide on how I modded Skyrim on the Steam Deck.

I compilated the experiences and most common questions I've seen people stumble upon when they tried modding Skyrim on their Steam Deck. Considering we get Steam Deck users here, I decided to share this here too. I hope it will be usefuo to some.

It only contains how to setup MO2 to the point where you can follow any other windows MO2 guide. That means I'll shittily explain how to install MO2, setup a instance, how to allow MO2 to view hidden .dot files do that you can actually find your Skyrim game of installed locally, how to downgrade if you still want, how to get visual studio and .NET SDK and how to fix a vanishing voices and music bug.

Except skse being installed, no game files will be messed with unlike what that linux installer does. So the only errors will be user made wrong installation of mods.

If there's anything unclear, you can tell me and I'll expand upon it.

Across my distro-hopping from every distro from Fedora to Ubuntu to Arch to Debian, I ALWAYS enable shader pre-caching and turn background shader cache processing on.

my system:

debian trixie with linux 6.11.5

Intel i3-10100

16 GB RAM

AMD RX 580

Not only does it always try to process shaders every time I boot a game even when it hasn't updated or any system changes occurs, I can turn the background processing on and monitor the file size of the shadercache folder and see it isn't doing absolutely anything. My CPU is also always idle too. This setting has been broken since trhe start of my linux gaming, from back in october 2023. Is there something I'm missing here? Is the feature broken or am I doing something wrong?

I've been running Linux on my computer for about a year now, I love it a lot. That being said I do miss some of the games that I simply can't play on Linux. I don't want Windows on my computer proper so I want to know if I can install windows to an external drive and just boot into whenever I want to play one of said games.

If the answer is no and you can't do this then I plan to stick with linux; I'll just be cursing the companies that refuse to support it.

I tried most of the more popular distros/DEs, fedora, ubuntu, arch/cachyos, gnome, kde, xfce, budgie, etc. etc., on my 5700X and 7700XT nitro+.

The best gaming performance for my system, with the best and most consistent lows 1%s and 0.1%s and the least discernible input lag, have been i3 and sway (I am currently on fedora sway spin). They are also the best at using my system it seems, in terms of GPU/CPU utilization. I had to re-arrange my fan set-up due to increased temps from the higher utilization.

If you can put up with the knacks and the more complicated entry requirement, the experience is buttery smooth with no hiccups.

Im trying to download something but steam keeps saying I have no disk space even though I have over 500gb free on my D drive. I dont even have the option to choose between my C drive and D drive. I already cleared my download cache and restarted my pc but nothing seems to work. My D drive is also marked as my default in settings on steam, anyone know what to do ?

As the title states. I'm looking to switch to Linux because I don't want to use Windows 11. I am currently running Windows 10 and honestly I could probably get away with using WINE for a lot of my specific use-cases (namely, using audio equipment on software, since most of the drivers and software are windows specific.) I'm looking for suggestions on what I should go with on my main PC. I have a thinkpad X230 running Void Linux from base (DWM) so I'm not against getting down and dirty with configs. I don't have an issue with systemd, so compatibility it huge. I'm looking for a distro that won't break itself when I'm just trying to play a game. Not necessarily a Linux noob so troubleshooting isn't an issue but my time is limited nowadays. I've heard of Nobara and Garuda Linux but I figured I'd ask for people's opinion. What would you guys recommend for a PC running a Ryzen 5700x3D and a 3080 and 32GB of RAM. I am not afraid of a commandline and enjoy coding in my free time as well, so I'm not necessarily ONLY asking for beginner friendly distro recommendations, just kinda what everyone has been using and why. Since Windows 10 is being dropped in October 2025 I figured now would be a good time to transition and experiment.

Some games I play are: CS2, Factorio, Satisfactory, Minecraft, Vintage Story, Starsector, Project Zomboid, Star Citizen, Stellaris, Elite Dangerous, Space Marine 2 and Darktide, Satisfactory, and occasionally I'll play on my bass guitar using Rocksmith 2014

so any tips regarding these specific games would be greatly appreciated!

Additionally, I am also familiar with Proton. I have a Steamdeck and I am familiar though a little unsatisfied but it’s (mostly) immutable Linux OS. That said I am familiar with proton compatibility and issues with anticheat. So anyone’s experiences with any of these games are greatly welcome.
