Five minutes into SB and of course it overheats. After stress testing this thing on Windows 11 last weekend, never had this problem, so guessing chipset drivers?

Anything someone interested in me testing out?

I've spent the last two days trying to get mod organizer 2 working for linux. I have no idea where to go from here. I will send the crash report.

I don't know how to read that, and I don't know what to do. I'm new to Linux, and using Ubuntu. "How hard could this possibly be?" I asked myself.

Steps to reproduce: open steamtricks. select new vegas. press ok.

On Arch Linux, Dota 2 launches and then freezes at the very first Dota/intro logo. If I reboot the PC, it launches fine afterwards. I've been running Dota 2 flawlessly for the past 2 years...

What I’ve tried (each tried separately):

• Launch options: -novid -autoconfig
• One-time OpenGL test: -gl -novid
• Disabled overlays/layers: toggled off Steam Overlay; launched with MANGOHUD=0 ENABLE_VKBASALT=0 VK_LAYER_PATH= VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS= %command% -novid
• Cleared shader cache: removed
• Verified game files in Steam
• Fully quit Steam and killed leftovers (pkill -9 steamwebhelper gameoverlayui pressure-vessel dota2)
• Tried forcing Proton Experimental for Dota
• I’m using the Steam runtime (not steam-native-runtime)

My system

• Distro: Arch Linux (fully updated)
• Kernel: (current Arch stable; 6.16.5-arch1-1)
• DE: KDE Plasma 6.4.4
• CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (proprietary driver) Driver Version: 580.82.07
• RAM: 32 GB

Anyone can help me please?

I'd like to put Bazzite on the spare-parts desktop I've hooked to my TV. The only piece of software that still ties me to Windows on that machine is Genshin Impact. I know that it's possible to run on Linux but finding up to date and reliable information on the topic is kinda hard, even with a good grasp of the search tool. I've found stuff about the Steam Deck, not a lot about desktop distros, and the few things I've managed to gather are all over the place and often already out of date.

What's the current status of running Genshin (and other Mihoyo titles) on a Linux desktop? What's the recommended method to install it? A dedicated launcher like Twintail Launcher (the anime game launcher seems to not be maintained anymore), a tool like Lutris or something else for installing Windows apps and running them via Steam? Are bans still a thing (if they ever were)? I've read that Mihoyo's actually been doing some Steam Deck/Linux specific bugfixes recently, is that true?

Arch based but no pacman. Only way to install software is via flatpacks using Discover app.
I know that many Linux users hate such approach.

I'm not here to judge but to learn. I donate monthly to a completely different distro. Polar opposite. But I try to be open minded.

Hi,

so I know there streaming services and other dual booting stuff, but for me it's an personal challenge. Is there any way to bypass kernel level anticheats like EAC? I know for most people the anwser is obvious so ye you can keep scrolling, but I believe there is an way it's only matter to figure it out. I know it is stupid naive to think that way, but if cheaters can bypass this obstacle then also we as linux users also can.

Hi !

I have skill issues which make me feel dumb but I need an outer look.

I recently had an issue on my Ubuntu: no more internet driver. I couldn't get internet even through USB tethering. -> ok, time for backup and fresh install.

I have a Ubuntu 22.04 installer USB key. I get my os up and running in one hour, steam installed in 2, and crusader kings III installed in 3. I wanted to play it since it worked on my previous install. -> but no ! Exit code 139 and nothing more.

I tried various Proton versions (not eggroll though), various GPU driver: nothing worked.

Aside of this, I work in IT. But not being able to install a game on a fresh install make me question my whole career.

Any thoughts?

I'm using an m-audio duo interface and trying to record 2 microphones with one panned to the left and one to the right and both down mixed to mono.

The mic panned to the right always gets distortion. The one to the left works. Is this a known bug? Is there a solution?

I was encouraged to share here a while ago, but I wanted to wait until I've had some playtesting done on Linux machines. I just started my first round of playtests, and things look good!

Flux Empyrean is a metroidbrainia game inspired by Outer Wilds and similar titles. You sail across a massive ocean planet, navigating by the stars and solving mysterious embedded in every location. Each place you visit ties into another in some way, creating a massive network of knowledge to uncover.

I also have a very rudimentary CLI implemented for some of the puzzle ingame! I think it is pretty cool :)

I am happy to answer any questions as well, although maybe not at the fastest rate. College is busy!

If you want to check out more, you can see Flux Empyrean on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3843410

I downloaded the game from dodi and fitgirl repack both and tried running it through heroic launcher with latest ge proton. I can enter the game fine but after few minutes of gameplay it freezes sometimes it 30 seconds or sometimes it's 10 minutes of gameplay the frame freezes while I still get the audio the game crashes and I can't fix it. I have the latest drivers for nvidia is there any fix? Please help me.

I dusted an old laptop and installed linux on it to give it some life. I also wanted to play some old classics on it. I don't think the games I'm trying to get on there have linux native versions. I installed them with their dvd onto my windows PC and then transfered them with usb to my laptop. Then installed steam and added them as non-steam games to steam for them to go through proton and i checked they do have proton support. I also tried installing brawlhalla to test things, and it ran really poorly. I think it's probably because proton uses dxvk and neither of the GPUs support vulkan. It might be driver issues. While installing steam i chose lib32-nouveau something.
And I've been pulling my hair out using Lutris and Heroic. I'm new to linux and i don't know if i'll stay on it. I got Arch with KDE Plasma if that's needed info.
These are my specs:

MSI GE620

Intel Core i5-2410M - Intel HD 3000

Geforce GT540M with 1GB DDR3

8GB of DDR3 RAM

TL;DR:
First time installing linux on an old laptop. non-steam games don't work. steam games run poorly. Tried Lutris and Heroic and Wine, none worked. it might be a Vulkan support issue or just a driver issue in general. I'm scared of installing drivers since I've reinstalled 3 times because of them already.

Help me. thanks. and sorry for my bad england.

I want to hunt down and skin the person who gave me the idea to install linux

As the title says, I've recently got a "gaming" laptop for a good price, and I've wanted to try Linux for a while now. I mostly use it to write and play games, as well as browse the internet. What distro would you suggest I install?

I have PowerColor red devil AMD RX 5700 XT, and I get freezes in game - driver is crashing out , I can hear the audio but the screen is frozen , sometimes it recovers but most of the time it stays frozen or it will crash my system too and I will have to log in back from tty or restart my PC. In 1 of my games World of Warcraft I resolved the issue by setting different Clock speeds and voltages for the P-States via LACT. The default settings were like this:
GPU P-State 2 2024MHz 1181mV
GPU P-State 1 1412MHz 793mV
GPU P-State 0 800MHz 750mV
and what resolved my issue in World of Warcraft was setting it like this:
GPU P-State 2 1850MHz 1050mV
GPU P-State 1 1550MHz 900mV
GPU P-State 0 1250MHz 800mV
but however when I play Witcher 3 (which uses my GPU more, because WOW is CPU dependent more) it freezes after 30min or 1 hour max and I cannot get it to work. The journalctl usually gives me errors like these when the game freezes (it is from an earlier date but it's the same always the freeze happens):
Sep 09 04:45:17 archlinux steam[5676]: err:winevulkan:signaller_worker wait timed out with non-empty poll list.

Sep 09 04:45:24 archlinux kernel: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout, but soft recovered

So sometimes it soft recovers but in most cases it fails and I end up with frozen screen or my system crashes too. My GPU never goes over 80 degrees, so it is not a temperature issue. I have tried other linux distributions: cachyOS, bazzite, zorinOS and everywhere it is the same thing so different kernels and older versions of proton do not help. mesa, lib32-mesa, vulkan-radeon (amd-vlk is not installed), lib32-vulkan-radeon, xf86-video-amdgpu are installed and I think I am not missing anything else that is important. I also added some kernel flags like : amdgpu.powerplay=1 amdgpu.gpu_recovery=1 amdgpu.noretry=0 amdgpu.lock_timeout=1000 pcie_aspm=off, but they did not help either. I have tried some tests with superposition-benchmark and had no issue or any problem, I also tried the stability tests with OCCT on 3D Adaptive all mods (steady, variable and switch each was running 1 hour) and I had no errors, I tested the VRAM also with OCCT for 1 hour and no errors. Anyone else have problem like mine and how did you manage to solve it ? Any suggestions?
