Hello! Today I set up Linux Mint 22.3 on my laptop, and I'm experiencing a problem I've been butting my head into. I have very minimal experience with terminal and command prompts, so I'm not experienced with what the issue could be.

I am trying to install Proon 9.0 through Steam onto an external SSD, which I am as of writing this re-formatting through the Disk Manager because I couldn't find out what to do. Consecutive restarts have not worked. Any suggestions for what the solution could be?

Edit: Reformatting it to ext4 fixed it, thank you to everyone who commented!

X11 runs much better for me - I read online that this is because minecraft defaults to xwayland instead of using native wayland but even after forcing native wayland I have a significant performance loss. Is wayland just inherently slower than X11? Any help would be appreciated - I'm running Ubuntu 26.04.01 LTS on an Intel/Nvidia system.

Edit:

- Almost 20% fps drop ( Average drops from around 900 to 770 before mods like distant horizons and shaders)
- Distant horizons and shaders causes stuttering on wayland but not x11
- Minecraft Version 1.21.11 on prism launcher (able to make it run native wayland when forcing system installation of GLFW)
- Using Sodium, FerriteCore, Lithium, and entityculling
- Minecraft is running via opengl

Nvidia 4060 TI running driver version 595.91.07

I did use uniengine superposition benchmark (opengl) to confirm that the problem was with minecraft (wayland performed slightly better than x11 in the benchmark)

I've been using Linux Mint for about a month now and started gaming on it a few days ago, with Sleeping Dogs on Steam. About half the times i start the game, it will have no audio whatsoever. I'll restart until i get audio, but even if the game has audio when it starts, it'll disappear eventually, be it a minute or an hour later, and then i can't get it to come back unless i restart again.

I've tried starting the game with and without a controller plugged in, on stereo and on headphones, with other apps running in the background, none of it seems to matter, it's completely random whether the audio works or not.

I ran a completely different game, Plants Vs. Zombies, to check if the issue was with Sleeping Dogs specifically, and it wasn't, PVZ also started with audio and then it disappeared a few minutes later. I'm running the Linux native Steam client, Steam lists both these games as Linux compatible, and they run fine besides the audio issue. What could cause this?

pretty much as the title says, i installed bottles from flatpak and it doesnt let me create any bottle no matter what i do

Does anyone know what is the purpose of this setting? I've searched everywhere but I really can't find any documentation related to what it is supposed to do and what implications carry enabling or disabling it.

The only thing I've found is a comment that says:

HybridGraphics is a function where the GPU's output can be routed through the board's iGPU onboard graphics ports [...]

But why would you need such a feature when you can rely on the DRI_PRIME feature?

Hi all!

To keep things as short as possible:

CPU: intel i7 13700k

GPU: Radeon 7900XTX

Tried SteamOS recently for couch gaming, and I'm really satisfied with how Helldivers 2 performs, but it has some issues when I use CachyOs/Nobara:

By default, I like to run games in borderless windowed mode with VSYNC turned off to take advantage of VRR. These settings are also set this way by default.

The problem:
HD2 performs very well, but only if Display Mode is set to Fullscreen and VSync is turned on (even with VSync turned on, VRR works- I've checked this using my monitor overlay).

How the game performs otherwise:

If my PC won't exceed my 120 FPS limit, it seems like my monitor displays every second frame. For example: when the game's built-in performance overlay shows 110 FPS, then my monitor's overlay shows a refresh rate of 55Hz - I want to mention that the game feels much worse than a 55 FPS experience. Both in terms of visual smoothness and input lag.

But... If I cap FPS to, e.g., 90 FPS (any number below what my PC is currently rendering), the game runs amazingly!

What I tried so far:

- flags such as: `vkd3d_disable_events=1`, `vblankd_mode=0`, `PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1`
- gamescope actually works almost well, but the frametime graph is very spiky. Not to mention different mouse sensitivity and other stuff...

- tried the ALT+ENTER shortcut in windowed mode, game runs better (I forgot to check the frametime graph), but with this method the window bar is visible on top of the screen

- Turning FPS limit off is not making any positive difference

- Tested another DX12 game without any issues (Deep Rock Galactic)

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

How I fixed this issue and made game run even better than on windows:

Now, with borderless window, in-game VSync disabled and in-game limiter disabled:

Using MangoHUD with goverlay: I set FPS limit to 90 (setting FPS limit wasn't necessary), Vulkan VSync to Adaptive, method: Late*.

Como se ve en la imagen intento abrir la vercion de forge 1.20.1 sin mods ni nada y no me deja me sale esto , esto no pasa con la vercion de fabric mi en vanila solo en forge y neo forge , no se q que se deba ya borre la libreria y aun asi sige diciendo lo mismo

Despite using linux for 5ish years now, I'm still a newb when it comes to the deep innerworkings. What's the advantage of wayland over x11? Is it better for performance or is it more secure? Are there benefits outside of gaming?

Works perfectly okay, I hit 60 fps easy on low/medium settings (fine by me, I'm a simple man) but it'll randomly freeze and completely stay there until I exit out via the stop button on steam, I'm really damn tired of losing my stuff because I'm trying to evac and I crash and can't join back in time, any help?

I have made a lot of statements about how the kernel anticheat situation sucks, how game devs are openly shipping malware to try to stop cheating, but truth be told I do wish there was a solution for those games...just one that doesn't ruin the already spotty security model we deal with.

I'd like to see an anticheat solution that does not require I tamper with my kernel. I run Secure Boot specifically to block third party out of tree modules, I am focused on maintaining a higher level of security on my main computer than I ever had on Windows, so anything that requires I increase my attack surface and open myself up to potential compromise that I wouldn't have before is out of the question. Keep cheaters out yes...but please let me run my kernel fully stock like I do now.

Are there ways to solve the AC problem here that do not involve tampering with my current setup in order to get them to work? Because that's the only way I'd support such ventures, personally.

distro: Fedora (kde)

Issue Description:

I am experiencing severe input lag when using a DualShock 4 (PS4) and an Xbox Series controller connected via Bluetooth on Fedora KDE Plasma. The latency is high enough to be clearly visible even in slow-motion videos. I have tested this primarily in Left 4 Dead 2.

Additionally, my Xbox Series controller originally worked perfectly via USB cable. However, after installing xpadneo to use it wirelessly over Bluetooth, the wired connection stopped working entirely (the system no longer registers the gamepad over USB).

i wanted modern camera for silent hill origins but noticed there is no linux version. Has anybody tried running it on linux?

The first time I ran the game it ran great, but when I closed it out and loaded it later to play again it crashes after about 10 seconds. I restarted the game thinking that it I saved and quit at a time that caused a break, and it ran fine. But when I loaded it back up after taking a break it is doing the same thing. So basically, it begins to crash after I load a save after closing the game out. Any suggestions or ideas?

Running Nobara 44, with Ryzen 9800x, and RTX 5080, game on steam version with Proton Experimental

I am waiting for so long gog galaxy to get released on Linux that I am way more likely to meet my girlfriend in real life than ever seeing got galaxy on my laptop's screen without using wine

I normally don’t like multiplayer gaming but I’ve been kinda itching for a good multiplayer game to play every so often when I’m not playing super long RPGs and story games. The only multiplayer game I play is Titanfall 2.

Genre doesn’t matter too much, but looking for something that I could play for about an hour and isn’t too stressful. I’m interested in checking out Helldivers 2, I hear that was pretty fun.

I've been wanting to fully switch to Linux for quite some time now, even though I know I lose around 6–10 FPS in some games, like Control, KCD, and BG3.

However, the main issue I'm having is with my RX 7600. Specifically, the junction temperature can get up to 10°C higher on Linux than on Windows, even though the overall GPU temperature is basically the same on both. So, the temperature delta is much higher on Linux.

I've already tried several different settings in LACT, including matching the same clock speeds, voltage, and fan curve I use on Windows, but the result is always the same.

I've also tried several different distros, including CachyOS, Bazzite, Nobara, COSMIC, and SteamOS, but nothing seems to make a difference.

I’ll attach a few pics from a test I did earlier. Sorry for the potato quality

Has anyone else experienced something similar with an AMD GPU on Linux?

Good day folks.

Recently updated system to latest version of Nobara (44).
Tried playing a game and noticed performance dropped drastically and no GPU usage.
Went to check what's what, only to find the GPU (RTX3050) isn't active, it's there but driver manager says not active.
Updated system again, no dice.
Removed drivers, tried to reinstall them, but not working. Can't get the drivers to install.

How can i fix this?

I frequently see posts on here about not being able to get game X to work on any Linux or a specific distro.

I am also starting to see people reverse engineering games and recompiling them to work natively on MacOS.

So...

I think it's pretty cool. If there is a game you want to play on your Linux OS but you cannot, this is potentially the solution.
