I configured a Linux laptop (Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon) to see if I could use Linux as my OS after the Windows 10 support will have ended. Naively I over-estimated the level of virtualization Steam on Linux can provide. After installing Steam I was confronted with the fact that Bioshock 2 (from 2010, ok, it's the remastered version from 2016) and Elite Dangerous (from 2014, ok, with Odyssey expansion from 2020) are not supported.

But I learned a lot about Linux and Linux programs and in fact these two games are the only programs I was not able to make work or find a good substitute for.

Or does anybody know any workaround for these two games?

Edit: Thank you everybody for your helpful comments. I didn't understand before that proton is something to enable inside of Steam, but I found the "Linux Mint gaming setup guide" here in this subreddit. Now all my games are offered to me as downloads, but my hard disk is running out of space. But it's good to know it would work.

I bought this game a few days ago on Ubisoft store and downloaded to find the screen looks like that. I’m running it on Nobara 40 with 8845hs/4060 laptop. I play AC odyssey and unity without issueso I don’t know what’s wrong with this. No mods installed as well.

I installed the latest Nobara and everything worked.

But since yesterday my "Corsair HS80 MAX wireless" suddenly stopped producing any sound. The level is displayed, however, and for the OS it looks like sound should be coming out.

If I switch the audio device to speakers, I get sound through the speakers. The same goes for the display, and if I plug in my old wired headset and select this, it works too.

Only the HS80 no longer produces any sound. I have also tried the USB dongle on several USB ports. The volume is turned up, of course. I have also tried the various profiles (analog stereo output, digital output, ProAudio etc.).

I have of course updated my system (sudo dnf update && sudo dnf upgrade).

The headset is recognized without a manually installed driver.

Is there a way to reset the audio system? Or anything else to get the Headset working again?

Edit:
of course i also restarted my PC

Bye Sweet Carole is an upcoming chilling narrative-horror game inspired by classic animation movies like Disney along with the works of Chris Darril. Late last month a new trailer arrived and it looks good.

Hi, I have a problem that has been going on for a long time with proton 9.0 and above, I've been using proton 8 for a long time but now I need dx12 and proton 8 doesn't support it as I understand it. Problem: when I run games on proton above 9.0, I started to have very bad lag when I touch the mouse, just move it(I tried to put different dpi on the mouse, didn't help). If I don`t touch the mouse, the cursor just rides on the screen. I don't know what to do, I didn't find such a problem on the internet, although I googled a lot and for a long time.
I have this problem in every game, regardless of system requirements. (I am currently trying to run The Forever Winter)

I have 2 card, nvidia and amd.
I use nvidia-proprietary for main card(gtx 1070)
And mesa fro amd.

My fastfetch:

It's one that a lot of weirdos who use Linux cry a lot and call anyone who doesn't agree with them a Nazi LMAO

Cry in your dark corner, that's why you will always be the minority in all aspects.

For the niche of a niche of a niche Linux VR enjoyers - Metro Awakening doesn't work at this moment. The crash seems to based on some popular error, so I hope it would be fixed after it's tomorrow release, by the smart people. I tried all popular Proton versions.

Hi everyone,
I installed Bazzite 40 a couple days ago, since I was interested by the project and wanted to use it also on another PC of mine as a HTPC solution. I encountered though that Steam, in Big Picture mode, has some glitches on the left menu (as you can see on the image). Now, those glitches occur only on that menu, Steam works perfectly fine with all its other components. I really don't know what could be causing this issue, and I haven't found (yet) another person with my same problem. I suspect it might be because of Nvidia and some graphics drivers, but it's weird that only that component of Steam glitches like that. My GPU (GTX 750Ti) is supported by the drivers, and with other distros (Pop!_OS) I don't have this problem. Tysm in advance for any help.

PS: if you believe that this post should have been made on another subreddit, please let me know. It's the first time that I make posts on Reddit asking for help, so if I could've (or should've) posted it somewhere else I'll remove it from here and put it elsewhere

Hi everyone, TIL about linux and it’s distros and what got me hooked on trying it is the better performance compared to windows 11. But of course as any new linux user im greeted with a million distributions, I have zero knowledge about linux but I want to try it, so what distro do you guys recommend for gaming that looks like windows as much as possible? I still wanna feel like im at home lol. I have AMD cpu and gpu

Using Linux mint and when I’m playing games I experience microstutters even after changing graphics drivers.

My graphics card is RTX 2060 paired with a Ryzen 5 3600 and 2*16GB DDR4 3000mhz RAM and is running on an nvme ssd.

This happens when playing videos as well.

After about 15-30 minutes of playing the game starts lagging in a...peculiar way - whenever there is any amount and type of input; and I mean ANY: moving the mouse, clicking, pressing, releasing or holding keys on the keyboard. When there is no input everything runs smoothly.

This happens in the native versions of TF2 and Portal, as well as in GMod when running through Proton (the game freezes after about the same amount of time in the 32-bit native version, and doesn't even get past the logo screen on the 64-bit branch).

I do not know if the issue disappears after another 15-30 minutes, as I just restart the game the second the lag begins.

I have an RTX 4060, and I'm running Nobara 40 with Plasma 6.2 & Wayland, the kernel is 6.11.6-201.fsync.fc40.x86_64 and the proprietary Nvidia driver is 565.57.01

these spikes in frametimes only happen when there's input

I have tried a couple non-Valve games and all of them run fine (whether natively or with Proton).

Has anyone else encountered this? I tried looking this up but I haven't been able to find anything. I'm fairly new to gaming on linux (and linux in general) so I don't even know where to start.

My specs are Nvidia GTX 1080 and Asus Rog PG348Q Gsync monitor I have a dual boot os (W10 and Opensuse TW 15.6) I am using Plasma X11 and Gnome X11, as on Wayland gsync does not work as intended.

On Nvidia X Server settings I activated the following settings for Gsync:

Sync to vblank, allow flipping, enable Gsync & compatible, enable gsync & api indicators, use conformant texture clamping.

I also add this command

nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="DP-2: nvidia-auto-select +0+0 {AllowGSYNCCompatible=On}"

Whenever I run an application, on the top left part of the monitor the message BLIT and VSYNC appear. On top right the message NORMAL.

I installed and tried Mame, Snes9x (both flathub) and Dosbox Staging 0.82 (appimage) and BLIT indicator is green, which means that Gsync works. I could verify it by testing the shadows in Samurai Shodown 2 and the coin menu of Mortal Kombat 1. The shadows flicker ultra fast.

However upon launching emulators like Retroarch, Duckstation, Pcsx2, BLIT indicator is always red. VSYNC indicator is red or green, depending whether I have Vsync enabled in Retroarch, yet it does not affect gsync.

The VRR/Gsync monitor sync option on Retroach does not make any difference. Driver is Vulkan but even if I switch to OpenGL Core it remains red. Tried Samurai Showdown 2 in Retroarch (MAME core) and shadows do not flicker as fast as in stand alone Mame, even with throttle on.

Same on Duckstation and Pcsx2, despite both having options for vrr monitors.

On fullscreen blit is red. On windowed mode it does not work in any emulator.

On W10 I also enabled gsync indicator and it is activated on the emulators above.

Can anyone confirm whether Gsync works with Retroarch on Linux distros? Perhaps the fact TW is stuck at 550 drivers is also a factor.

Is there any extra step to activate Gsync? I guess somehow they do not activate proper fullscreen mode for gsync to be activated.
