New to GNU Linux ;)

Using POP OS

I've been trying to play the DOW definitive edition. Every few minutes into a game it will crash with this error: steam_app_3556750 is not responding. However sometimes I can play for an hour with no issues. Then the crashing will keep happening over and over after this.

I've update drivers.

I've played around with vm max map count.

I've verified integrity files integrity.

Anyone who can give some suggestions that would be great.

Long story short:

S-E-1 games have a problem with their performance when getting "translated" to OpenGL or Vulkan.

Here's the older post.

Portal 2 is the easiest to test and among those with the best performance (because Valve stopped touching it years ago, just slapping DXVK on it, ToGL is still the standard renderer for it, you HAVE to use -vulkan to use DXVK) so I prefer using it when I have to take down a BIG list of numbers...

It's impossible to run S-E-1 games with DirectX_9 on Linux because it's Microsoft's special toy,

so ToGL or Vulkan have to be used.

ToGL has been abandoned by Valve because they are focusing only on DXVK. It's not a totally stupid decision because the GPUs which can't even run Vulkan 1.0 have basically all died or will soon. Still, it's a shame that by collateral damage ToGL is dying.

---

While GoldSource retains its OpenGL functionality (those games run OpenGL natively, there's no translation to oGL, known as ToGL for Dx9>oGL),

all S-E-1 games except for Portal 2 and CS:S (even if CS:GO may still function I don't care about it, on Linux the performance dies because of shenanigans) manage to use ToGL properly.

• TF2 and L4D2 have broken lighting
• L4D2 and HL2 crash when loading a map (HL2 immediately, but not when loading a save, while L4D2 crashes the first 10 seconds if you don't use the map x command)
• HL2 doesn't seem to shade shadows right

ToGL rendering broken. Same in TF2 (but also the colors are bugged, big monocromatic smudges instead of textures).

HL2 DXVK

HL2 ToGL

.

.

.

Here and now I'll just drop off the results of my tests and the method used.

Excel table

\"Big green\" save. Chosen because 1 early in the game and 2 aòò that foliage is A LOT of polygons.

\"The thunderdome\" save. Chosen at random because it was the last save of my latest run. The game will run like this at worse's average (Big Green is basically a 1-of-a-kind scenario).

These results show:

• DirectX_9 being the objectively best way to play S-E-1 games.
• DXVK being worse on Windows 10 compared to Linux.
• ToGL having the worst performance of them all (but if one doesn't have a Vulkan-capable GPU then they just can't play).
• "Native" DXVK or Proton it be, the values are basically the same (I did only 1 run for each scenario, being careful to not having the game bugging out, so I'd consider these numbers "within the margin of error").
• Altho important to consider, I don't have the patience to properly figure out how the CPU% and GPU% correlate with their respective FPS values (altho GPU use is almost the same, Proton uses more CPU than "Native" DXVK). I've already said it in other posts: "if the game gives 100fps at 50% use with API_1, but 120fps at 100% use with API_2, it means that API_2 performs worse than API_1".

Hello, I'm pretty new to stuff on Linux I'm on newest Fedora KDE plasma and my controllers are not working anymore on Proton experimental, GE etc.. Steam input works on Proton 9 and older. It was working fine few updates back and I switched to Fedora after trying Bazzite and having the same problem there. Steam recognizes the controllers just fine, it's in game where they stop working.

Edit. Mostly asking because I've searched through and tried a lot of stuff but seems most people dont have it in this half working state. Any insight or advice is appreciated.

Just wondering if anyone did testing with 7900XTX while comparing Linux to Windows in Gaming applications? Wondering if it is worth switching to Linux now for gaming. Is it about equal to Windows at this point, or are you still losing some performance on Linux as in the past?

P.S. Lasst time I touched Linux was using Ubuntu build around 2-3 years ago, so I understand a lot could have changed since then.

It's tough finding 1 to 1 comparisons on Youtube, so I rather ask people that had extensive experience with Linus in past 3 years.

Ive been distro hopping for quite a while now trying to find one that is the most compatible with my laptop (Samsung Book 4 Pro) and packed with features. And ive came across the same missing battery icon problem with almost all distros (except Ubuntu).

Ive been testing NixOS and it is something that i really enjoyed and would like to continue using it but i cant use it without my battery icon, because i dont want to start working on a project and them having my battery die on me suddenly.

Does anyone know how to fix this? When i plug my laptop to charge and boot up the system, the battery icon shows up, but if i unplug and reboot it stops showing it.

In Kubuntu the acpi package was identifying my battery, it was showing in /sys/class/power_supply, upower -e showed my battery. But the second i go to a non ubuntu based distro it stops.

Please i need help

People have been saying for months that screen sharing works flawlessly on stable and Canary but whenever I stream there's no audio. Vesktop screen sharing has audio, but limits bitrate to completely unwatchable levels.

According to ProtonDB, the game Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is in Platinum status and should be playable out of the box. Yet when I install it via Steam and play it, I get this error even though Steam is running.

Here are the specs of the PC I am using:

Kernel: 6.8.0-78-generic

DE: Cinnamon 6.4.8

CPU: Intel i7-9750H (12) @ 4.500GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile

Memory: 5256MiB / 31969MiB

Steam version is 1:1.0.0.79~ds-2 and is installed via Software Manager

Has anyone encountered the same issue? How were you able to resolve this?

It makes a vast majority of mods for Yakuza games, especially big overhaul mods, just not work. Such as Y5Lib, etc. It's not loading any of the asi scripts that are in separate library folders. Did anyone find a fix to this?

I tried everything that both Chat GPT and Deepseek suggested, multiple times, but nothing worked, I'm at a loss.

The problem: X screen 0 is missing from the Nvidia X server setting control panel, so I can't adjust any 3D setting of the GPU.

I have Nobara freshly installed and updated, the only thing I changed GPU wise was to choose the "New Features" drivers instead of the default "Production" ones. I though those were the drivers to choose for gaming.

My CPU has integrated graphics by AMD (I'm not sure whether that could be a problem).

This is all I use my computer for, and I’d like to switch from windows just for fun, but I’ve found that Linux has problems with some games and other software because they’re made for windows. If I do switch to Linux could I run Roblox and play steam games like terraria online, also maybe Fortnite if my pc could even handle it?
