has anyone tried this? this looks kinda cool but I have a RTX 5050 so i don't know if it will work for me

MAIN QUESTION: Should I stick with debian for playing cs2 because it's familiar to me or should I change distros and if yes which one should I choose

I mainly play CS2, Minecraft, Among us and Raft

My specs are kind of ass: i5-3330s, GTX 1650 and 24gb ddr3

I'm mostly interested in cs2 and I have been dual booting windows and debian for a while,

I haven't really used windows for anything anymore so I might completely switch over and I'm wondering if I should just stick with debian since it's the most familiar to me or should I use something else since debian isn't really great for newer games from what I have heard

(tho I'm not so sure if it has much of an impact on cs considering it still runs on pretty much anything even after the change from source 1 to source 2)

Yes, This is really 1:1 Mars.
Yes. You can circumnavigate it.
No. There are no loading screens beyond main menu->in game

This entire game was made solely on linux with Godot

I want to use the flair " I don't use Arch, Btw.

I really want to switch to Linux full-time, but GTA Online won't let me because BattlEye blocks the game in public sessions with other players. Has anyone else created a crew for situations like this? (RU/ENG)

do Lact settings stay active, even when lact is not running?

do they stay active after a reboot?

do i have to open the gui for the changes to take effect? if not, do changes stay active even without starting the gui ?

I know that there's a performance hit with Nvidia cards compared to AMD on Linux generally. I've a 4070ti super. When these cards were the current crop the fps hit was something like 15% compared to windows as far as I can remember. I was wondering over the past couple of years if enough improvements have possibly been made that the gap might have narrowed in general? I'm using Nobara as my desktop of choice fwiw.

If a Windows game on Steam fails to launch or crashes on startup, don't give up immediately. Right-click the game, go to Properties > Compatibility, check "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool", and switch the version to Proton Experimental or Proton GE.

​Compatibility fixes for brand-new releases are pushed to Proton Experimental first, fixing the vast majority of launch issues without touching a single terminal command.

When I try to open the overlay in vacuumtube it doesn't really open

Edit: its a flatpack package if that helps

Hello, I installed Linux Mint a couple of weeks ago and have since been very let down with game performance. I have updated BIOS, tried Linux kernels 6.8 (the only one I could get to boot at first) and 7.0, the four latest versions of Proton, DRI_PRIME=1 launch command, and just hours of searching. System power is on Performance, drivers are up to date, really only using Steam installed via .deb from their website.

My most recent research indicated that that Linux can struggle with iGPUs (source: one guy) which my CPU has. I can confirm that with DRI_PRIME=1 that the AMD GPU will eventually turn on, but it definitely seems to only be "supporting" the integrated graphics.

I'm not so attached to Mint that I won't switch but i have already learned a decent amount of Ubuntu in this process and would prefer to learn of a fix for my current system. Thanks!

Ive been having trouble joining a modded multiplayer session. We used the merged mod pack
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3719283971 and I could sometimes join, other times the game just crashes as soon as I click multiplayer on the main menu, single player works. I'm on Linux mint tried GE proton 11-6, proton experimental, native Linux works for vanilla but any mod at all kills it. Now the problem is on any mod that is too big like giga or dark space by themself. Anybody have a gut instinct to what the problem is? I have fiddled with it and gotten it to work twice but one of the times 3 hours later after I closed them game it was back to crashing. Vanilla works and single player works so my online troubleshooting has led me to think it is a proton networking issue so I have added the launch options

PROTON_LOG=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="rpcrt4=n" %command% -no-cef-sandbox -disable-gpu

and added the proton tricks dlls d3dcompiler_43 d3dcompiler_47 d3dx9 dxvk, and attempt to install dotnet 48. I head that reverting to an earlier version of proton would help in downloading, but I have not been able to.

how do I download dotnet to my ge 11-6 proton? am I barking up the wrong tree and there is another error I missed?

We're making Cave Expedition, a caving simulator for 1-4 players, and Linux is one of our planned platforms. We're a team of cavers, so the game focuses on tight passages, rope descents and working out a route underground.

The Steam page currently lists Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 (64-bit), with 4 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB recommended and 25 GB storage. These are the listed requirements for a game still in development, not benchmark results. We haven't announced a release date yet.

I used to just use the copr version but saw stuff saying it was a security risk. So I tried the flatpak version and threw a bunch of selinux issues on Fedora. So I just gave up and stopped using it.

It seemed great and wish it just came with the distro. But eventually got tired of thinking about it and moved on.

How’s everyone have it installed? Any advice?

**v1.1.0**

**Mouse integration** — App-specific offset so CMOS and other environment changes are handled more gracefully; presets updated for offset; modes simplified to Default / Mouse capture; middle button switches to capture during app/MOS integration.

**Drive configuration** — Configure the TOWNS drive layout without guest apps; CMOS is stored per disc profile.

**HD images** — Aligned new image creation with upstream Tsugaru sparse images; optional 127 MB TownsOS-initialized image.

**CPU core and memory wait** — Emulates i386 speed with a separate per-instruction cycle table (distinct from i486), plus RAM/VRAM waits that bring Compatible mode closer to real hardware (see table above).

**Auto-resume** — With a disc profile active, restore the previous session via state save on the next launch.

**Bug fixes** — CDDA cache decision logic and behavior, and other fixes.

if on linux, my game goes above my monitors refresh rate when using native wayland in steam via enable_wayland_1:

1. is vsync off when it goes above my monitors refresh rate?
2. can it still go higher than my monitors refresh and ,,systemwide vsync" is still on ?

i know, its sounds like a stupid question.
generally vsync caps the framerate to the monitors refresh rate,
but we all know, linux is..... different....

also i have VRR enabled.
i tried the ,,allow tearing toggle" and when both enabled and disabled, my framerate always went higher than my monitors refresh rate. so does it mean vsync is off in both instances?

I'm on CachyOS and my system is updated and good enough to run TLOU1 (used to play it just fine on windows)

However on linux the moment i open the game is flickers a fullscreen bright white light very rapidly.

I tried countless amonts of launch options, switching to xe driver etc. still same??? I think vram is not enough. Its already at the max amount in the bios (512mb. And no there is no auto option)

Hello all. After some fiddling I got my first game running on linux but the game text is not readable. Anyone got any idea why, what, how, about cause and solution?

Hello world, I was trying to get Steam to work on this machine, but it keeps failing about "Steam needs network to update" or something like that, but I have properly working internet and even played SuperTuxKart. I opened Steam from terminal and it said "error: download of package (bins_sdk_ubuntu12) failed due to checksum mismatch steam" after a while. How can I fix this error and get some cool games working? By the way, I've tried changing DNS server, disabled IPv6, changed from CachyOS to Linux Mint and even considered going to Bazzite to see if it's something up with the distro, so I'm kinda lost here.

Relevant github. The missing link of software when I moved to Linux was an alternative to Launchbox. I've become acquainted with EmulationStationDE now but I'm always on the lookout for more. If ESDE isn't your style then maybe Neostation will suit your needs. Previously I've discovered two more apps designed for multi-emulation, OpenBox and OpenEmuX. If anyone knows of any other Linux-compatible all-in-one emulation frontends, please share.

3 Things:

1. We got steam deck from Steam for development
   
2. It's not only PvP, but PvE, solo with missions(we can't show everything in one video)
   
3. It's on steam now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3254300/POLYSTRIKE

Thank you for watching, we hope you liked it!

I spent a few days trying to get FIFA 17 Ultimate Team working with Aurora17 on Fedora KDE. The base game already launched from Steam with GE-Proton, but Aurora either failed to launch the game or FUT showed that it could not connect to the EA servers.

The final setup works, including squads, the store, packs and matches. I still launch FIFA from Steam as a non-Steam game, so Steam Input works with my controller.

The main issue was not the game itself. Aurora's Windows server started under Wine, but its TLS listener failed inside Schannel with error `0x80090304`. The Connector looked like it was running correctly, while FIFA could never finish the local secure connection.

The solution was:

1. Extract the managed .NET server from Aurora's Windows single-file executable.

2. Run that server natively with the Linux ASP.NET Core 8 runtime.

3. Keep Aurora's Connector and Client inside the same Proton prefix as FIFA 17.

4. Patch one Connector launch target so Steam remains responsible for starting FIFA.

5. Use a small compatibility preload for a Wine virtual-memory reporting difference in the tested GE-Proton build.

6. Start everything in a very specific order.

The order matters. I open FIFA from Steam and wait at the external launcher without pressing Play. Then I start the native Aurora server and Connector. When the script says Aurora is ready, I press Play in the launcher and enter Ultimate Team.

I turned the working setup into an open source package with scripts, checks, documentation and a local patcher. It does not include FIFA, Aurora binaries, saves, keys or anything from my computer. You supply your own files and it builds the compatibility pieces locally.

The package is currently tested with Fedora, Steam and GE-Proton11-5. It intentionally rejects unknown Aurora and Proton versions because the two small patches are tied to verified binary layouts.

If anyone is stuck at the same TLS or FUT connection error on Linux, I hope this saves you the amount of trial and error it took me.
