Estoy usando Linux (antiX) en una laptop HP Notebook 14-am006la con un procesador Intel Celeron N3060 y 4GB de RAM. Tengo Steam instalado en una USB de 14GB.

He intentado instalar Geometry Dash en varias distros ligeras como antiX, Puppy Linux y dpup Bookworm, principalmente en modo instalación frugal o completa en USB. Pero me encuentro con problemas de espacio y errores de escritura en disco, además de dudas sobre la mejor forma de instalar Steam y el juego para que funcionen sin inconvenientes.

¿Alguien con un hardware similar ha logrado jugar Geometry Dash en Linux? ¿Qué distro recomiendan para esta laptop? ¿Es mejor usar instalación completa o frugal en USB? Y respecto a Steam, ¿es más recomendable usar el cliente nativo o Lutris?

Cualquier consejo o experiencia será bienvenido.

¡Gracias!

Hi I'm thinking of moving to Linux on my main laptop since I encountered errors even on my newly installed Windows. I know that Steam and Epic has decent support on Linux but I was wondering how's the support is for Itch.io games? I enjoy installing new games and some of them only runs on Windows. Also can I run .exe games that isn't on any storefronts?

Hola a todos, tengo una laptop HP Notebook 14-am006la con un procesador Intel Celeron N3060 y 4GB de RAM. Quiero usar Linux para jugar Geometry Dash, preferiblemente instalando Steam o Lutris, pero todo desde una USB con solo 14GB de espacio.

Estoy buscando recomendaciones de distribuciones Linux ligeras que funcionen bien en este hardware limitado y que me permitan hacer una instalación completa (no solo live USB) para guardar juegos y configuraciones.

Además, ¿alguna sugerencia para optimizar espacio o instalar solo lo esencial? No necesito muchos programas, solo que sea estable para gaming ligero.

¿Es viable hacer instalación completa en USB con este equipo?

¡Gracias de antemano!

I am missing the file "libpangoft2-1.0.so" found inside the directory "Counter-Strike Global Offensive/game/bin/linuxsteamrt64". whenever I launch CS2 I get the error " failed to dlopen "libpangoft2-1.0.so" error=libpangoft2-1.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". From my understanding Steam just refuses to download that file, so if it is not against the rules could you simply send me that file, or maybe you know how to resolve this issue another way?

Caught a folder in my external hardrive named with numbers, i got kicked when i tried to open it. The folder dissapeared instantlty. Also when i'm playing windows games on wine/lutris my hardrive wakes up on it's own, thats why i think it's a windows virus.

Since i've decided to go with linux in my first pc i don't know much about windows.

İs there any chance this something to do with my system or wine/windows doing something instead of it being a virus?

Since it's not damaging the pc i don't plan on doing anything about it. Just wanted to know how cooked i am.

Basically the title Bois!

When I try to run Lego Star Wars on Lutris using any of the Proton versions i get that weird grey but but when I use system 9.0 (I assume wine) and or Wine GE it works out of the box...

Any ideas?

I'm pretty new to Linux, but I've tried to do the following:

• https://github.com/berarma/new-lg4ff
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfOlWx9paco

Neither has let Oversteer detect the device, in PS3 or PS4 mode.

I'm on Pop!OS, I'm not sure what info it'd be helpful to have but I can grab it it if asked? Sorry, as I said, super new to linux.

I’m planning to dual boot Windows and Linux for the first time and could use some advice on how to set it up. My main goals are: Gaming on Linux, Learning Linux for an IT career.

My current setup:

250GB SSD has Windows installed

1TB SSD used for game storage right now

2TB HDD also used for storing games/files

Here’s what I’m trying to figure out:

Should I install Linux on the 250GB SSD (wiping Windows) and move Windows to the 1TB SSD?

Or should I keep Windows on the 250GB SSD, install Linux on the 1TB SSD and keep using the 2TB HDD as shared storage?

Also:

I have Steam games installed on the 1TB SSD and 2TB HDD — can Linux read/run those, or will I need to reinstall them?

Is it okay to use the HDD for both OSes to access games and files?

Sorry if it seems too much to ask would love to hear what others have done in a similar setup. Appreciate any tips!

After "some" debugging (pipewire - pulseaudio was giving errors) I switched to ALSA fallback with my trusty olde RME Multiface2.
The game showed Pulse devices even with override to ALSA, gave Invalid channel mask errors in winedebug logs.
winepulse.drv was still loading despite config changes, no matter what I tried..

Set Wine registry (this is global, can be set for games wineprefix specifically, too):
wine reg add "HKCU\\Software\\Wine\\Drivers" /v Audio /d alsa /f

Disabled Pulse in Proton-GE manually:
Renamed winepulse.drv to disable Wine’s Pulse driver:
mv ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton10-4/files/lib/wine/i386-windows/winepulse.drv ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton10-4/files/lib/wine/i386-windows/winepulse.drv.bak

mv ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton10-4/files/lib/wine/x86_64-windows/winepulse.drv ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton10-4/files/lib/wine/x86_64-windows/winepulse.drv/winepulse.drv.bak

Seems like GE-Proton provides its own Pulse driver preventing Alsa fallback, I tried this through steam before amongst a heap of other things (pipewire config for pulse, it just wont work).
This GE-Proton version was manually added just for this game

Hi everyone, going to give you all the details I can do. I’ve been playing Schedule One on this quite medium laptop, Acer Aspire A514-54, i5, onboard graphics (probably Intel Xe), 20GB RAM, SSD is fine.

I’m running Ubuntu and the snap version of Steam. Obviously Schedule One isn’t going to run great with onboard graphics so I’ve got it on medium quality and turned off all the anti-aliasing, god rays bs.

Normally I’d attribute issues to the shitty graphics but it seems that the game is mostly responsive and loads well. However, I’ve got this weird bug where the longer I press W to run, once I release it, I carry on running for up to ten seconds, and can’t stop or press other keys.

Otherwise, button presses occur fairly quickly, just are really sticky if I’ve held them a long time. I’ve read that this might be to do with Proton and the way Steam virtualises Windows games via Wine.

Apart from buying a new laptop (no can do) what could I try to fix the stickiness issue? Cheers

I can't get bodycam to look better than this. I can click any key but then nothing in the menu to change the settings.

Running Arch with Hyprland and an Nvidia 3070ti.

Added this to launch options currently "gamescope --expose-wayland --backend sdl --force-grab-cursor %comand% -dx11 -fullscreen"

I am pretty sure that the latest MESA update killed the compatibility for my GPU. Got a scolitiscope of lined squares instead of desktop.

Already wipe the whole thing and when with a different distro which I was using on another PC, so no real loss, just annoying and a warning to orders.

Hope you don't get unlucky like me.

Good luck.

I am going to try dual booting windows and linux for the first time I have amd cpu and gpu and was wondering what has better performance between cachyos or Nobara 42? Or is it about the same?

Not complaining but curious if anyone else noticed Baldurs Gate 3 running better on Linux than their windows 11 install?

I always had stuttering issues in windows with that game but they seem to just be completely gone when running on Linux.

It's great that KDE Plasma supports HDR on Nvidia. Using gamescope, we can give the compositor the values it needs to render games to an HDR display. And in my testing with both AMD and Nvidia graphics, this seems to work about 90%. But, eh... still some problems. And questions.

I read somewhere that the "SDR brightness" slider in Plasma's display config is actually more like an offset from the HDR10 reference value of 203 nits, and does not work like Windows' HDR slider, which sets an absolute cap on SDR values without affecting HDR content at all. Does this suggest that accurate HDR values can only be expected when the SDR slider set that "200" value? If so, I guess that means don't mess with it.

Cyberpunk 2077 seems to look pretty good in HDR10 PQ (comparable to Windows 11, not washed out or anything), but in DOOM Eternal, the blacks are really crushed. Without being able to give the compositor the actual HDR capabilities of the display, I don't see how it can render HDR content 100% correctly. With my own tests using the Wayland color management stuff, it seems the API doesn't always report the display's HDR range correctly. Is why my LG OLED is crushing the picture?

I noticed that gamescope has some config files for various displays, including the Steam Deck OLED. Would it be possible to create a display profile that overrides the Wayland color management values? This might be a workaround until a proper calibration page is implemented in a future release of Plasma.

I feel like things are nearly 100% there (using gamescope, anyway), at least compared to Windows which seems to work the way people expect. I think that Plasma calibration option that has been mentioned is a huge piece of the puzzle, and I'm really looking forward to it.

The game in question is Guilty Gear Strive. I think I also noticed this in Kerbal Space Program. My fps was constant but it looks like it stutters. Distribution is linux mint 22.1, proton experimental.

Hey all,

I am in need of a new controller and Valve has yet to release a new controller, so it's down to DualShock 4 or DualSense.

I already have several DualShock 4 controllers, but the DualSense is slightly cheaper right now. I only use controllers via Bluetooth, never wired, if that makes a difference. My question is, do these mix okay in Steam (for multiplayer games) or should I spend the extra to stick with DualShock 4 for now?

Thanks for any input, cheers!

Howdy, pugdev here (tried posting on r/Deltarune but got karma gated)

This is an unofficial port of Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4 of DELTARUNE for Linux

It mostly works but there are a few issues to be aware of

Since the new chapters are not free, there is no game data included in the port files, you need a valid copy of DELTARUNE, and then run the shell script there

I already had done an port of the LTS beta a couple months ago

Known issues

At the beginning of Chapter 3, there is a video thats supposed to play, however, video_play() appears to be broken on Linux, leading you to a black screen with error Cannot load avcodec - video playback not available

Because of this, I hacked a little workaround, where the video is supposed to play, you get a black screen for 40 seconds (the duration of the video) and the video plays with mpv instead, I even manually added subtitles

Another issue is, when loading saves, you may notice that the music is gone, to fix this, open your save file and go to line 569, and change the values from . to , or vice-versa

I think I managed to find a workaround on the LTS port, since I only encountered this bug when creating a new save on Chapter 1 (second slot), but this issue is still present here

Its recommended to avoid updating the game through steam as that can break the port

Yes their new EULA is a concern so read up on that before diving in. It's the Same EULA for all T2 games now, including ROR2 and GTA6.

Anyways, free game that's free to keep forever if you add it to your library in the next 3 days.
