All 4 games that I have installed, and they used to work fine but then I switched from Debian 11 to Fedora 38 and this issue started.
Somewhere along the loading process a “wineboot.exe” blank windows appears depending on the wine version (Happens with Proton) and stays for a while. (I will add this to the post)
I’ve seen lots of issues mentioned with F38 and gaming for some reason. Maybe try Lutris as well so you can quickly switch wine profiles and try different things out. I believe Heroic also let’s you debug with different profiles as well.
AMD GPUs are fantastic on Linux. I’m running an MSI 6800XT and the only flaw is the the RGB lighting isn’t properly exposed so I can’t turn it off. Everything else just works and I’ve never had to give it a single thought since buying it. I just put it in and started playing my games.
If Steam can recognize the input from the controller, but the other program cannot, it means the OS is getting the input, and this Chiaki program either doesn’t have permissions to read the input, or it’s looking in the wrong place. I’m not seeing much documentation for it unfortunately, but you can try starting it from a terminal to try and get some debug output when it runs and see if it’s throwing any errors.
I found this to be more or less impossible on my AM4 platform. The AMD RAID kernel module didn’t work under any distro. Fire up an Ubuntu live environment and see if you can detect and read the contents of your Windows environment. That should give you a good sense for what is possible. Otherwise I recommend installing to a separate NVME as I have.
I’m not sure if having a raid is related in this situation, but if you have two drives on the machine and one already has windows then all you needed to is boot into a distro live session and install it on the empty drive. That’s all. Also, I wouldn’t start with Arch Linux. Try something more user friendly to install if you’re new to Linux.
Maybe you should have asked that in a regular Linux community. Not really game related.
I would, in general, not recommend to modify any existing operating systems. Better get yourself a small SSD exclusively for Linux. Much less risk of damaging anything.
I agree with this sentiment. Dual boot on a single drive (or raid0 in this case) can be done but Windows has a tendency to rewrite the boot partition which makes you unable to boot into Linux. I’m sure there are workarounds, but having them seperate is just much easier.
If you install Linux in it’s entirety to a seperate SSD, you select to boot by default into that SSD which should give you the option to boot Windows instead. The other way round is more difficult and tends to break by reasons mentioned above.
No, you’re wrong! Apple is going all in on gaming. Again! First Myst, then Quake 3, then iPhone games on M1, and now a port of one game from 2019 using Wine. What a time to be a Mac gamer.
Their translation layer is basically a rip of Proton. Obviously this isn’t going to replace anyone’s Desktop or gaming laptop. But it’s nice to see Mac users are at least being thrown a bone.

Of CodeWeavers’ Wine which I already mentioned. Proton is more than just Wine but Apple’s implementation does not use the Vulkan translation but their own Metal wrapper.
Even though this is mostly because of the Steam Deck, it's still great news. More people get to try out Linux and find out how good the support for gaming on Linux is nowadays. Some may even feel compelled to switch to it on their main machine, especially after Microsoft drops Windows 10 support and forces everyone to upgrade to Windows 11 (which, while certainly better now, still feels like a downgrade IMO).
This probably isn’t the best place to discuss it and I often get hate for saying it but Windows 11 isn’t bad at all after you install a start menu replacement and one of the free apps that allow you to easily change a large number of things like explorer UI tweaks.
It’s also the thumbnail for the link. I don’t know what the input is for other apps but on sync I could long press it to hover the image with the breakdown and one of the others I used just makes the previews fit to begin with.
But since I’m such a great servant to random people, deck: as in title, arch Linux and Ubuntu: 0.1 and change, Manjaro and mint(? I already forgot): 0.0something … I have 256kb of memory and most of it is reserved by bloatware.
webcam i sadly can’t help you but on the gpu side i would try and search for a used one. i have an rtx 2080 super in my main system and an rtx 3050 ti in my laptop both seem to work fine under linux. i may have gotten lucky since i had no problems with the drivers. tldr in my experience 20 and 30 series rtx cards work.
I’ve been gaming on Linux for a while now. The pace of improvement in Proton has been staggering since the steam deck was released. I noticed the other day that I’ve gotten so used to games just working now that I don’t even bother to check to protonDB before I purchase. I’m sure that won’t bite me any time soon -_-
