This whole thing can be overwhelming to people new to Linux and especially those without a very deep interest in the topic.
The basics, most users don’t really know about all the layers and complexity involved in an operating system. That is okay for the most part. Your issue is likely related to the kernel itself. When you are on edge hardware, you likely need to be on a very recent kernel for proper support. That is what is mentioned in the linked issue. No one expects you to be at the same level as these people or to report issues like this in the kernel. This is just a concise example with things to check if you know the gist of the example. Feel free to ask questions about whatever. I am no expert here. Others may be able to answer. I’ll try to help any way I can.
I had to set launch options to skip the launcher and use proton 7 or below, 8 is causing problems for me. Game is working now, some crashes but I think its one of my mods doing it
The reason is most likely TF2 not playing nicely with wayland. I have nvidia and I needed to add this command “SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%” To be able to run it. If You can check if game runs on x11
It doesn’t give any more information than if you just launched the game executable directly. If you look at the original post’s comments, you can see that the issue has something to do with Fedora using LLVM
Clearing the environment variable by adding system: env: DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_BASE_DIR: DLLsallowed the launcher installer to properly handle the DLLs by creating a folder in the Game’s directory.
It appears that the game installs and launches fine, I’ve yet to test the actual gameplay, but that’s next.
@BloodSlut@ShaunaTheDead hohoho, a good head start! I had to clear some environment variables from time to time as well, especially when it comes to wine stuff misinterpreting some vars I thought are only for some specific programs I use, so it's not the first time such happened to me. Glad it worked for you, also glad you worked out what env var to clear.
Do you have mangohud or a game scope enabled? There’s currently something going on between the Steam Plant and the NVIDIA drivers where on my end I have to disable mangohud for any of my Steam games launch. I’ve read that the new beta client of Steam fixes the issue.
I am on Garuda Linux running their KDE Dr460nized Gaming Edition. It is based on Arch Linux, btw. Because it is Arch, I only recommend it to moderate to advanced linux users, maybe newbies if they are not the kind to go running to a help forum and post, but instead research and figure things out. With that said, Garuda comes with a handy click/install GUI for many things, but a special section for Gamers that makes installing everything you need easy and simple.
If you are a newbie, I would recommend an Ubuntu distro because it has a HUGE help forum to get your feet wet. In that, I would recommend Drauger OS, it is Ubuntu for Gamers.
Good old Sony MDR-7506 I found in e-waste, replaced the pads and they are golden (light and comfy over ear)! Before that I was using a modified David Clark H10 headset (heavy but naturally isolated with loads of insulation) with MDR-CD999 drivers (can’t believe these were a perfect fit) a Shure boom but it’s only for when the environmental noise is particularly hostile.
/u/[email protected] I can’t reply to comments from kbin.social, so here is the reply
I couldn’t reply yesterday for some reason, but we are gonna do a mini prebuilt for 3 reasons, 1) the space caters to it more, he’s at a small area of my desk in my home office. 2) He’s not interested in building a computer yet. We just rebuilt the minecraft server and he was totally disinterested, and it’s desktop parts in a server chassis, he just wants to use it. I think that’ll change when he’s a little older, but for now this is a better fit. 3) Warranty; I have used system76 machines for years for work and the warranty is worth it for a really reliable machine.
We will make his own computer for sure one day…I don’t know how to explain this, but hopefully this shows how much I get it, this is me custom designing my own acrylic lan party case in 2001: www.surfrock66.com/compucube-case-design/ and here’s it’s successor in 2004: www.surfrock66.com/the-supercomputer-mod/ I’ve been doing super-customs for a LOOOOONG time, and one day he will for sure enter the world lol.
Seeing as you're coming from Windows and already have familiarity with Ubuntu, I'd say go with Ubuntu. The difference between Windows and Ubuntu is pretty minimal, and Ubuntu has amazing support because of it's popularity finding an answer to any question is a simple search away. The FPS gains from a leaner distro will be minimal compared to Ubuntu and you still get a fully functioning, well maintained and supported system.
I wouldn't recommend you venture too far from Ubuntu but if you're feeling a bit adventurous, Pop!_OS is based on Ubuntu and is a great option. Any of the Debian based distros would also feel similar to Ubuntu and Windows and will generally offer a user experience that a Linux noob should be able to get into as you gradually get used to using the terminal rather than GUIs.
