In the Steam settings there’s an option for “Enable Steam Play for incompatible games”, is that turned on? I think it’s a seperate option to just enabling Proton.
This has been my exact experience with Linux throughout the last 2 decades. Old computers, new computers, it doesn’t matter. The reliability of the audio systems have always been horrible for me.
I do not understand how the things work, which means I’m not going to be able to know what needs to happen, but through troubleshooting of specifically audio throughout the years I pretty much get the feeling that most “solutions” are entirely made up and no one actually understands why those solutions work. It’s weird, because other issues don’t generally have that feel.
It’s almost always a compatibility issue. It’s kind of arcane obscure stuff, like the particular version of the particular sound chip that somehow works 99% of the time with the same kernel drivers for the chip family but has some small bug that makes the audio engine bork. Allegedly Pipewire has been working hard at being more resilient to those issues and it’s been integrated progressively in more and more distributions.
Inux might one day achieve 100% compatibility with every gsme ever made running on quad quantum ai kernels and you’ll still be having sound issues, and suspend will sometimes just not work
I know right. All things considered however I’ve not had too bad of a time. Sound wise I think I’ve just been spoiled by my ThinkPad where everything works perfectly 99.9% of the time.
Have you tried extracting everything in game.gog into the folder where you put the TR1X files? From there you only optionally need to download the music (lostartefacts.dev/aux/tr1x/music.zip) and put em to the same folder, and then just run TR1X.
While the explanations are indeed more Windows focused, the advanced installation should cover Linux as well.
TIL Steam supports ChromeOS (and apparently Chrome OS supports APT and flatpacks). Could be good for adoption and pushing Microsoft out of their monopoly, but at the cost of another locked down system being in play.
I wonder, now that it’s starting to get a bit noisy, whether ProtonDB should let you disable displaying Deck and/or Chrome verified game icons.
You might try to add the repository for it without using the script. I followed this page, but you can skip the rocm parts of it (except for adding the key). I managed to install it on Debian 12 this way.
As most people suggested, I guess I don’t need the proprietary drivers at all. I managed to get it working with kisa’s ppa and an updated AMD firmware file for the kernel (and a quick initramfs rebuild). However I’m experiencing a weird glitch on multi-monitor setup now…
