Honestly I tried before and it was just a mess to play windows games (a mi of me having an ok to shitty PC and me don't knowing shit about Linux), I have since started working as a developer for involved with Linux, contributes to a couple of projects.

Tried this last week and oh man, it was amazing frame rate is so freaking smooth, I only care about TLOUS 2 no return and RDR2, but actually tried more than 10 games and ALL OF THEM worked fantastic and even better than windows, still having issues to use proton experimental but I am now using the latest GE proton with Lutris and it could not be an easier experience.

For someone that is not a GAMER, I just want to hit play. Get my controller and have fun for a while, this absolutely convinced me to move fully to Linux.

I am using Fedora 44 btw.

Honestly tries to debloat Windows 11 but it's just too much for the at that point, having to butcher a system so it can work decently is not a good sign for me.

Any use of steam overlay while in game, causes lag when in big picture mode. I haven't been able to find a solution.

I have followed some guides to install the game successfully, but afterwards it refuses to launch. Here is what I have done:

1. Added the launcher .exe from the website as a non-steam game and ran it with default settings to install. I used DW-Proton Latest under compatibility

2. Logged in with my account and compiled shaders. At this point I'm sitting at the game menu screen and all looks normal. I shut down the game.

3. I add a separate non steam game with the game .exe which is called "NTEGlobalLauncher.exe" On my system the path is .home/name/steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/numbers/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/Neverness to Everness/NTEGlobalLauncher. I used the same DW-Proton Latest under compatibility

4. I launch the game, and it never opens up. It cancels itself or fails to launch? I tried copy+pasting the entire game folder into a shorter directory with no difference.

5. Any ideas? I'm stumped

Hey everyone, picked up Kiln about a week ago, and got a chance to fire it up today. However, hasn't worked under a few versions of proton. Tried proton 10, 11 beta and GDK-Proton with no success, and two different errors. With proton 10 and 11, it states that the error is caused by:

LowLevelFatalError [File:C:\dfp-kiln-r-platform\Common\UE5\Engine\Platforms\WinGDK Source\Runtime\Core\Private\WinGDKPlatformMisc.cpp] [Line: 10] GDK runtime is not available

However, with GDK proton, it claims the issue is created by:

LowLevelFatalError [File:C: \dfp-kiln-r-platfrom\Common\UE5\Engine\Source\Runtime\Online\HTTP\Private\Curl\CurlHttpManager.cpp] [Line:240] Could not initialize libcurl (result=2), HTTP transfers will not function properly.

Bit lost on this one. I know it's been out for less than a week, but this seems like it's more related to the WinGDK Unreal plugins and an expectation of the Xbox app on the system. My system is running Bazzite 43. Any help welcome.

I found a bunch of old Xbox 360 disks at my dad’s house, but don’t have an Xbox anymore. Can an emulator on Linux run the disks from a blu ray drive or something like that?

Hi,

I have a Steam Deck and I love it. And what I love the most about it is the sleep mode.

I am a dad with 2 young kids, a wife, a full time job and a house to maintain. So, being able to put my deck in sleep mode at any moment and just resume at the exact same point is the main way I have able to play games in the last years.

But the thing is I also have a nice desktop pc for 1440p gaming on AAA games and I also love it, and I want to take more advantage of it.

So the question is : Is there a way to bring the best (IMHO) Steam Deck feature to my PC?

I actually run Bazzite (never ever going back to Windows, nope, never) and it's actually great (for me at least), but I am willing to switch to any distro that would actually permit it.

Thanks for your help!

I recently heard of a game launcher called Lutris, and was curious if anyone who has used it could tell me if it is safe to use. Thank you all in advance.

After hitting a peak of 5%, the percentage of computers using Linux appears to have decreased to 4.5%, a 0.81% drop from the previous month. Windows 11 also saw a surge of 0.89% in usage.

This may indicate that a significant percentage of users who jumped to Linux after the end of Windows 10 support decided to migrate to Windows 11 rather than continue on Linux. Furthermore, we had a surge of users on Windows 10, which may show that another percentage of these users decided to revert to 10.

The next few months will tell if Linux can maintain this market share it carved for itself or even increase it,

Hey guys. So I've been trying to play Pragmata. It works perfectly fine on my steam deck, but on my Fedora 43 desktop it doesn't. Initially it would crash if I changed too many graphics settings, so I did it one by one until I had them all where I wanted. Now, when I hit continue, it finishes loading, I hear audio, but the screen is just black. Nvidia drivers are updated and I've tried a handful of different Proton releases with no luck

As of May 2026, the FACEIT Anti-Cheat has updated its TPM attestation requirements. If you are dual-booting Linux (CachyOS, Arch, etc.) using Limine or custom Secure Boot keys, you will likely see a "TPM Attestation Failed" error when trying to play on Windows.

https://github.com/CachyOS/proton-cachyos/releases/tag/cachyos-11.0-20260428-slr

• Proton (SLR and Native)
  • Updated to the most recent Proton Experimental release 11.0-20260428
  • First of all, I would like to thank u/Etaash-mathamsetty of Proton-EM and u/NelloKudo of DWProton for their immense contribution to the project in general and for helping with the rebase on top of Proton 11 in particular.
  • The PROTON_USE_NTSYNC environment variable and related configuration has been removed. This is the default now even in Valve's Proton 11, nevertheless ntsync can still be disabled by using PROTON_NO_NTSYNC provided by Proton 11.
  • Imported winewayland.drv updates from Proton-EM 11. One important difference is that Proton-CachyOS doesn't enable HDR by default, you still need PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 for it. The automatic enablement depends on Nvidia 595 drivers, and I didn't want to enforce that requirement.
  • Proton 11 is using SteamRT4, which is missing a few of the libraries that were present in SteamRT3. This led us to disable a few media plugins in gstreamer and ffmpeg. If you notice lacking media in games when using Proton-CachyOS 11 compared to Proton-CachyOS 10, we would like to know.
  • Almost all of the wine-staging patches from Proton-CachyOS 10 have been removed. Only a handful have been added for things that we were certain they were required them. We want to keep them at a minimum and add them selectively if they are required to fix an issue.
  • The DualSense patches have been removed, pending a rebase onto Proton 11. If they are still needed, they will be added back in a later version.
  • Removed the Asseto Corsa patch, as the game's HUD seems to work fine using CSP 0.3 and I did not like what the patch was doing to fix the issue. We also fixed an issue with PROTON_GST_VIDEO_ORIENTATION messing up audio playback.
  • The x86_64_v4 package has been removed. I felt like it wasn't offering anything substantial presently and I needed to free up jobs in the workflows for other builds. You can use either the x86_64_v3 or x86_64 instead.
• Proton (SLR specific)
  • None
• Proton (Native specific)
  • The native Arch package is going to be pure wow64 from now on. Arch has been removing lib32-* packages lately and I don't want to deal with build failures or having to use the too many dependencies from the AUR. Using the Steam Linux Runtime (-slr) package has been our recommendation for a long time now, for maximum compatibility.
• Wine (Standalone)
  • None

Hi! I am a Linux noob using Mint 22.2 for the first time, and I am having trouble with every .exe games I download.

I can start them throught their respective desktop shortcuts, but for some reason I can't start them throught the .exe files??? They just won't do anything.

Subsequently, whenever I try run those games to steam to get the optimization benefits people told me about, pressing start just does not do anything either. I have zero clue of what is happening, or of what I can do to fix it TwT I am really frustated since one of the games keeps crashing in random moments when I take the L and just play it without steam

Sorry if this is a confusing or informationless explanation

Hi everyone,

I have a Dell Lattittude 5590 with i7-8650U 16GB of memory and Nvidia MX 130 with 2GB of dedicated memory and I noticed that KDE performance for gaming is far superior than Gnome.

I tested GTAV using Steam on Debian 13 on both Gnome and KDE, on Gnome I can play just if I lower graphic settings, on KDE it just works, I think it has something to do with wayland implementation, maybe it is supperior on KDE than on Gnome.

I also tested on lates Ubuntu 26.04 Gnome and even enabled NTSYNC to no avail.

Does anyone have any tip on how I can match Gnome to KDE performance since I prefer Gnome?

Kind regards,

Carlos

I'm the host of a game in windows, wanted to try cachyos but the other people can't see my lobby, they can see I am online, but that's about it

Game has no mods

crossplay is active

I have ran it with proton experimental, proton hot fix and proton 11, don't really know what to do at this point
