Bloober Team announce a Native Steam Deck release for Cronos: The New Dawn
Good news! MARVEL Cosmic Invasion has a native Linux build (demo available now)
We’ve got to give credit to the devs and publishers when this happens. Sure, the game would’ve run fine on Proton, but instead of taking the easy route, they built a native Vulkan version for Linux. Props to Dotemu and Tribute Games for the support!

What's the current state of mods in Linux gaming?
I run Bazzite on one machine, and CachyOS on another, but I have never really been a person that plays game mods. But I saw someone post a video of a GTA IV mod today that seemed to fix a lot of issues that the PC version of the game had, and it got me wondering. What does modding look like on Linux? Is it even possible? If so, what does the process look like to add mods to a game? I know this is a big topic, so I understand that there's no single way of steps to "do mods" but I wanted to get a general sense of what the process is like if you're gaming on Linux. Thanks!

A single game seems to have network issues and apparently ONLY me
So ghost town pumpkin festival is the game. They are looking at things on their side, but I thought I would see if there is anything I can see on my side.
The linux version of the game launches fine, but wont connect to their servers.
My internet is fine, I can connect to other games and the general internet.
Other linux users say their game connects just fine. So it's not a pure linux problem.
I am on Opensuse, so might be something bleeding edge related. Or maybe something to do with my networking. What's weird is that all other games work fine.
Any ideas where I can explore to help figure this out?

Lethal Company not working
I am using ubuntu and installed lethal company on steam with proton experimental but when I tried to play it, it would give me an error if I joined my friend's lobbies, and if i invited them it would give them an error. I also tried proton hotfix and GE-proton 10-17 but no luck. It also likes to freeze and make me force quit it a lot in the menu, and maybe the game if I went in solo but I haven't tried. If anyone knows a fix to this that would be great. Also, I'm new to linux so keep that in mind

[PSA] If you want to play splitscreen games on PC there's an alternative to NucleusCoop (Windows only) on Linux called PartyDeck, and it works way better.
Just wanted to remind everyone of this awesome project called PartyDeck. Focused on Steam Deck support, it works perfectly (even better) on Desktop PCs too.
It doesn't have many handlers yet like Nucleus, but they're so much easier to write! I wrote one handler for playing Black Ops 1 and World at War offline and a single handler to play Call of Duty through Plutonium with the server browser to play online too.
The usage of prefixes and linux symlinking are a perfect fit for splitscreen implementations for games that never supported it (like CoD on PC).

experience with linux as newbie
hi, just wanted to gave you some experiences with gaming on linux as a total newbie that uses it for more than a week now:) And maybe "help" someone if they are hesitating?
Well for first few days i was in love with linux - customization, the fact that i had CONTROL over everything i wanted (and more, which might be overpowering for a newbie), or how snappy my laptop were compared to w*ndows... just really nice. But then i started to see problems. Its just annoying that only few people talk about this while everyone just say how good linux have become for gamers.
First, battery life. It is really bad compared to windows - 4/5 hours vs 1,5h on battery. I tried workarounds, turning off hybrid card so my laptop uses integrated one when not playing - nothing. And is lowkey illogical that system who takes 2% of my RAM on idle eat my battery much more faster that one that takes about 20% idling. (yeah i know optimalization, linux is not windows blah blah - its still insane!) I saw some workaround that does sth with voltage but i am not going to try that because it can brick my laptop. This shouldnt be necessary.
Second, playing on NVIDIA is still crappy af. Or maybe it is if you play newer games that rely on directx12. Ones that are simpler or older work fine or even faster.
For example, i play infinity nikki and 1st launch was so buggy that i couldnt even see my character XD and it was laggy as hell i got maybe 15fps. I tweaked something in heroic launcher and while i was in menu game was snappy, in a world it was playable but when i teleported game was back at 15fps. According to chat gpt my game didnt cached shaders or sth and i cant for shit make it to work. With FFVIIre it was sth with dvxk + directx12 + nvidia incompability that made game laggy af, whatever that means. Likw I am willing to learn new things and even that made me encouraged to switch, but man, if someone just want to switch cause windows annoys them they gonna say fuck this i am going to back to windows. And i am considering that cause until nvidia become more linux friendly (probably impossible) linux wont be ideal for me. Its sad that i didnt know shit about AMD and just picked laptop that has familiar parameters for me, now i would do different choice:(
thanks for coming to my ted talk

Installed another kernel image but no wifi on ubuntu
On ubuntu 25.04 any kernel image I install with apt doesn't matter what version I don't have wifi in them if I switch to them. Do the kernel images not come with wifi or something?

Lethal Company Screen Tearing and Lag on Arch Linux (Wayland)
I recently switched from Windows 10 to Arch Linux (LTS Kernel) with KDE Plasma 6 as my Desktop Environment, running Wayland as the display manager.
My issue is with Lethal Company: whenever I play, I get unplayable screen tearing and lag. It doesn’t matter if I enable VSync or cap my FPS at 30—it behaves exactly the same. On Windows 10 this game ran fine, so I don’t think this is a hardware bottleneck. For reference, I’m running a 3060 RTX Nvidia GPU with 128 GB of RAM.
What’s strange is that I had almost the exact same issue with CS2, but I was able to fix it by editing the cs2.sh startup script and changing the SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER setting to force Wayland instead of X11. After that tweak, CS2 ran smoothly. With Lethal Company, though, I can’t seem to find any equivalent script or startup file to edit.
So far, I’ve tried running the game with Proton GE, Proton Experimental, Proton Hotfix, and Proton 9 which yielded no difference. I tried adding launch options like SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland DXVK_FRAME_RATE=0 DXVK_PRESENT_MODE=mailbox %command% but the game launches but tearing and lag remain. I've also confirmed that this issue happens consistently on Wayland, and I’d prefer not to fall back to Gamescope or X11 if I can avoid it (Gamescope just caused the game not to open for me).
Has anyone else run into this same tearing/lag issue specifically with Wayland + Lethal Company? And if so, is there a Wayland-friendly workaround similar to the cs2.sh fix?

Tilde key not working in games. Can't seem to remap it via input-mapper. Need help!
My old laptop is now my new N64
I kind of plug&play configured it so it starts The Legend of Zelda: Ocraina of Time by default. I only need to turn on the laptop and the controller, that's it.
System: Linux (CachyOS)
Emulator: Mupen64Plus
Controller: 8BitDo Ultimate 2c

Getting Elder Scrolls Online to work.
I know most people seem to be able to run this game fine, but I cannot for the life of me get it to work on basically any proton version I have installed, and none of the common fixes like PROTON_SET_GAME_DRIVE work either. The game reaches the "extracting" dialogue but instantly crashes when the launcher tries to appear.
