Has anyone also experienced such a bad frametime and lags in Witcher 3 on Linux?
Frametime looks crazy and feels that way, basically unplayable. DX11 mode seems don't have this issue but it stutters too much...

It looks like valve is working on, and close to achieving, wireless VR on linux. They've had it working on windows since forever with what they call "vrlink", but it now seems like that's finally making it to linux.1

I've been working on hacking it together myself, but noticed that they steam had overwritten my driver in the newest update. I looked into it the binaries, and they seem to indicate that they've successfully ported the whole shebang to linux and vulkan.

Currently they're not distributing the necessary spirv shaders. That could be due to some contractual relationship with AMD, since they were using AMD's now deprecated AMF library on windows.

So on Windows when I run eDuke32 it picks up the OGG music files just fine and plays that music instead of the MIDI files. But on Linux when I put the same music folder into the directory, it doesn't detect my OGG music files at ALL and only plays the MIDI music. How do I fix this? I wanna hear the CD music for Duke 3D not the 8 Bit music.

Hey there, -- I'm having some trouble getting R6 Extraction to work. Here's my specs:

Ryzen 7 7800x3d

RTX 3080

Pop!_OS 22.04

Steam is installed on deb not flatpak

I've tried Proton Hotfix, Experimental, and 10.0-1.

I tried looking at ProtonDB and I saw that one report said to make sure Proton BattlEye Runtime is installed, which it is.

It shows the splash screen, opens up Ubisoft connect (which I can even click on the toolbar icon and open up the program, but launching it still isn't working. I'm logged into Ubisoft..

I'm trying to run it through Lutris, and I encountered a separate issue that might help upon solving. I have my steam account linked, but whenever I run the R6 Extraction on there I get this error:

Which also happens when I try to run the app through the ProtonDB website. Is there something off about my Steam install that could be causing this issue?

I'm a Windows user, but after hearing about Windows allegedly favoring certain CPUs and GPUs—and other issues with the platform—I’m thinking of switching to Linux.

That said, I want the transition to be as smooth and unnoticeable as possible. I still want to use all my apps and have fun without problems.

However, I'm worried about messing things up and potentially having to wipe my C: drive.

Can someone recommend a Linux distro that's very user-friendly and has strong community and developer support?

(thanks chat gpt for writting this)

PS GPU : AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with Radeon Graphics RAM : 16 GB VRAM 4080

I want to be able to play almost any video game, im more into single player games, so games with anti cheats most likely wont be a issue i play alot of minecraft, a bit of roblox I use OBS, brave browser, discord, steam and AMD and small things i dont think will be a issue, i have a bit of experience with linux by hacking my school chromebook with a linux terminal so i know how to install applications.

I think we can agree Linux gaming going mainstream is heavily dependent on Valve doing well with Steam Deck/SteamOS which so far they have been pretty successful with. More people on SteamOS, means more people on Linux, means more developer support, means better ecosystem which means more people. Microsoft has now officially announced a collaboration with Asus for a ROG Ally Xbox handheld and from the looks of it, they just copied SteamOS with an optimized version of Windows and an Xbox interface. I think this could be a real blow to Valve, the one major advantage they had over Windows handhelds was the cleaner interface, optimized software, the ease of use and features like suspend/resume are all gone now, while Windows still retains its one major advantage that being game compatibility.

This was something I've been fearing for sometime now, there was even some speculation from The Phawx that the Xbox series S model was just MS paving the way for a handheld in the future which made a lot of sense to me. Welp, seems like they are all in now, what do you think the impact for Valve, SteamOS and Linux gaming as a whole will be when this thing comes to market?

As per title, I'm new to using Steam on Linux, but what's this Remote Desktop pop-up?

Am I hacked / compromised?

Or does someone just want to see me playing?

It's gone though, after i dismiss it.

I never set up the Remote Desktop feature on my Fedora 42 Workstation.

The game is a simple Counter-Strike 2, no Proton I think, just Linux Runtime.

Hey guys, does anyone has trouble with emotes/spray wheel? When I try to use it both for assigning and emote usage I can't spin it anymore. No matter how much I move the mouse the selector just won't move. It just sticks on the upper left item.

I tried to fix the game through Steam but didn't work. I playing using last Proton-GE. Do anyone has this trouble?

I’m planning to switch to Linux (daily use + gaming) and I read that to get NVIDIA proprietary drivers working with Secure Boot, I need to enroll MOK keys using mokutil.

That’s where I’m getting kinda nervous. It feels like I'd be interfering with low-level BIOS/firmware stuff, and I'm not sure how safe that is. Like, could this open up some firmware-level vulnerabilities or let something like a persistent RAT slip through? Or am I just overthinking it? Would it be safer to just disable Secure Boot instead?

For context: I'm using RTX 3060 and Intel i3-12100F + planning to use KDE (idk what distro yet)

The Archwiki warns against installing the native runtime due to possible compatibility issues. Though I've tested the native version on another PC (where I rarely actually play games) and it's much snappier, so I'm interested in switching. Has anyone actually run into issues using the native version?

We are proud that we have managed to set up a Linux build to be there on launch day (5 days ago) :-)
Check it out on Steam:

Ive tried to install a 32-bit library for /usr/lib32/libtcmalloc.so and specify it in the startup commands. It did not work. Also Im using plasma KDE Wayland for my window manager.

I have an issue with gamepads (no matter which) stop responding in games. Controllers are not disconnecting, just the game stops reading them as input. I can still access steam in big picture. Steam input doesn't have any effect. So neither any steam controller setting, including idle power off time. I also tried power management setting in KDE, no luck. It is repeatable in every game. Any help or ideas are appreciated. I'm on arch, up to date, first time noticed the issue about a week ago, not sure if it's related to any software update/install

I wonder how is that possible that I was running Elden ring nightreign On windows on low/med setting in 2k on my rtx 3060ti, and every minute got like 10s freeze. Even while the game was running "fine", still on rather low settings I got 30-50fps and constant stutter.

On CachyOS the situation was completely different, I run all high settings and did not have even one freeze and the game is running at constant 60fps without any dips.

I also tried CS2, which I knew that runs a little worse compared to Windows and I got like - 10% lower performance, but still the game feels smoother I don't really know why.

Here come some question, do you guys know is there a way to slightly improve performance in CS2 on Linux?

(Im running KDE Plasma, newest beta Nvidia driver on CachyOS)

I forgot to ask, the only problem is when I try to run some game on Wine-Wayland it spawns on other monitor (I have 2 monitors both 2k), I just can't switch the screen, I tried DISPLAY variable in launch options, switching in game options or even unplugging and swapping monitors to each other ports in my gpu.

I try running the game, and after i select accept on the privacy policy, it says 'configuring video settings' next to the loading bar before my pc blackscreens. Its not a complete crash as a I can still hear my music playing in the background.

I am on Arch, and have an rx580, with amdgpu.dc=0 as one of my boot paramaters

Im using proton 10-4 GE to run the game

This is my launch setting for steam:

FSR4\UPGRADE=1 STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS="$HOME" PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command% gamewindowed -no-border)

And I have tried on wayland, and x11, and tried forcing the game to run in dx11

Thanks in advance

Hi I’m very new to Arch and when I run Cs2 with Proton-GE I can‘t play in any VAC-secured servers (used for competitive play, etc.). I‘ve researched but the only thing I found was telling me to switch to Proton 8.0-4 because its an official Proton Version, that gave me a launcher error though so I‘m not sure what to do now. If anyone knows the answer to this please tell me🙏
