I’ve just switched over from Windows to Linux for my daily driver in the last few weeks, and after the initial learning curves everything seems pretty solid. The only thing I really, really need for some games is the ability to rebind keys that the game itself doesn’t allow. Examples would be Orcs Must Die 1 (no rebinding at...

I’m new to having Linux on my main rig. It’s been about a month now. I’m hoping someone has a better way to handle focus while gaming....

Since yesterday, I’m encountering some weird double click bug. Everything I left click on is now doubleclicked (selling, equipping, etc) and my right click works as single left click (I dont get the menu to drop items which is very bad when overloaded and get surprised). I found this on reddit and was tempted to make an...

I’ve ordered myself some parts to build a PC for Linux gaming. In the meantime, i’m deciding on which linux distro to use....

I’d like to try the new Assassin’s Creed and Avatar, but they’re not on Steam - which is how I play almost every other game on Linux. I know I might be able to install Uplay games using Lutris, but I’m not sure if the experience is as smooth as Steam + Proton....

I’m new to Linux, using Kubuntu. I got Left 4 Dead 1 installed from Steam and I’m using Proton 8.0. I get an error saying “An error occurred while launching this game: invalid app configuration”. Is there a launch option I should be using? Something else?

Hi guys!...

Hello everyone!...

Are there any open source Steam clients? Maybe it can be like Heroic, because desktop Steam is technically browser with specific website opened....

tl;dr: Security concerns for my Linux partition, when running Vanguard on Windows?...

I added a custom session to my display manager which starts Gamescope with the Steam Deck UI. This works great mostly, but exiting it is a challenge....

I was offered an Intel Arc graphics card, but I couldn’t find any information about how they work with Linux that was less than 7 months old. Any of you know how well Arc GPUs are currently working on Linux?

I set up Steam Link on my raspberry pi to try and do some couch gaming over the holiday… but its no bueno. I am on a 5600x/6700xt with wayland on linux, and steam is up to date....

Thinking about getting onto wife’s Steam account, but right now I’m pretty stuck on sandbox games. What are you enjoying right now?

I am currently running GTA V from Heroic with Proton GE Latest. I have Fsync, Esync and Gamemode enabled. When it runs on windows, GTA V gets around 115 FPS and GTA O gets around 60-70 whilst on Linux GTA V gets around 80 FPS and GTA O gets a mere 30 FPS....

Recently I’ve been having some issues with framerate with D2R, dropping down to low 20s. I installed the Nouveau driver, purged all the Nvidia drivers, and then installed the new 535 driver and after some tinkering, D2R seems to be running in the 70ish range for the most part which is a huge improvement. Now, however, I seem...

Hello everyone maybe some of you could help me out i have the problem that my mouse feels laggy in Fallout 4 and Skyrim i did all of the usual fixes (editing the .ini files) and tried the raw input mod bust it dosen’t seem to work. i have a stable 60 fps. i am using the os that shall not be named btw with all drivers up to...

I’m mostly a Minecraft player, but I do play other games at times. I’m interested in a webcam and a better graphics card, and I’d be interested to hear what you all are already using (or, if you have suggestions).

Currently, if I upgrade to 555 drivers, my second monitor will not show a display despite it being detected by Plasma and xrandr. Additionally, if I do get past the log screen on wayland, my framerate/refresh rate is abysmal but not reported by xrandr. Unplugging the second monitor fixes the issue....

I’m Running Linux Mint 21.3 mainly using Lutris and Steam for some native Linux games. It’s so annoying, especially when it sometimes disconnects the gamepad. I’m using an Xbox One S controller connected through a USB cable.

Hi y’all, I’m on EndeavourOS, wondering if I can get Steam to start minimized/tray. I know about launch commands, but I don’t know where to put them in on Linux. I tried right-clicking the app & going into the Properties, then adding -silent to the Arguments under the Application tab, but that did not do anything....

Like the title says I am trying to understand how these things should work together. Part of my issue is I don’t have a good mental model on the Flatpak permissioning / sandbox model. My use case is running a game on Lutris, which is a Flatpack, and using my package install of Mangohud. I am also curious if I should using a...
