Verify your game files and clear your shader caches and such. Looks like you might have some corrupted files in there from the looks of those file errors.
Try the old uninstall>delete>reinstall, and make sure you manually go and check those riectories it mentions in the logs and clear all that out. It’s throwing ELF errors, and the executable names are garbled. I’m positive you have corrupt files in there.
I tried uninstalling TF2 from Steam, I deleted the Team Fortress 2 folder (/home/shabamjenkins/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2), restarted, reinstalled and launched again. I still get the same errors. Should I uninstall Steam altogether (or was that what you meant by uninstall>delete>reinstall)?
The only other thing I can suggest is just completely removing Steam and installing the Flatpak release of the Steam client. This has been solving certain issues for people, and was suggested to a few F38 users, but seen others say it fixed issues. Seems like a long way to go, but…
Can’t forget Apple pissing off all their devs to the point that there’s so few popular games supporting Mac now. And older games don’t work because they killed the backwards support.
It is also 1.96% versus 1.84% so it is largely “meaningless” and could just be the noise of when people get the hardware survey pop up.
But this is still actually really good. I finally switched my primary gaming over to Linux a few weeks back. And a big part of that is the Steam Deck. Because, while I was going down the list of my top games on ProtonDB, I had to keep reminding myself “Of course that works on Linux. I literally was playing it on my Deck on my deck the other day”.
And this is good. Because I still don’t think there is a good reason for developers/publishers to even care about linux desktops. But if they care about the Steam Deck then we get that for free.
I doubt that will last long with the introduction of the game developer tool kit and the next macOS
Apple’s GPU cores suck. As much as you can genuinely praise their CPU work (which you can somewhat easily upscale with more cores and more cache), even the most high-end ARM Mac has a GPU that’s just an iPhone GPU with more cores but without any actual high-end features such as raytracing (more of the same limited cores can’t just magically become a raytracing engine). Even Steam Deck’s GPU is capable of raytracing because it’s not an upscaled phone GPU but a downscaled high-end GPU.
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.
oh sorry gorgot to mention i have tried the newest version of proton GE, proton experimental, proton 8 and 7. also nince i forgot my system specs are: Ryzen 7 3800x, Rtx 2080 super, an the game is on an nvme ssd
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 have linux running for about 1 year on my main pc and laptop. often when buying games i forget to check protondb because most game I play work fine. but i like to play bethesta games, farm sim and older ones also Cyberpunk runns fine on my system. some games may require you to tinker to get them running smooth. and i thankfully never ran into problems with the nvidia drivers for my 2080 super. all in all i would say the linux experiance is quite good overall for my case. as for distro i only have used arch for a longer period but from my tests and what i heared fedora(i tested it on an old laptop worked gread out of the box), PopOs(i tested on my old system (amd fx6300 ,gtx980) ran fine), mint(never tried it myself but people say it’s quite good) and EndeavourOS(same as mint)
for anyone reading this you can install mo2 and vortex via steamtinkerlaunch was the easiest and stable for me the lutris installers were really outdated and crashed all the time
AMD HIP support for Blender has landed or is landing soon for Linux so I wouldn’t be too worried. However, HIP is still slower than CUDA / Optix so there’s that to consider as well. I personally went Nvidia for that reason.
AMD for graphics - RX 6600XT. Works flawlessly with the opensource drivers. I don’t use a webcam currently, but in my experience most Logitech webcams work fine these days. Before you buy one, look it up on Amazon and search for “Linux” in the reviews and usually you should find a comment indicating whether or not it works fine.
