Linux Gaming

content warning: rambling, pointless content below

I know Bazzite is the deck build for HTPC, and is in testing right now for the next updates. There really isn’t any difference between in Bazzite or SteamOS in my understanding. Any advantages to change over I am missing?

Title. I always skip them and don’t notice any detrimental effects at all. I used to let them run every time, but I don’t want to wait 5 minutes for every patch update bug fix anymore

There is a game I am considering getting; it has been out for a few months now, and the devs are specifically blocking it from running under proton with a Kernel Level Anticheat which specifically blocks linux.

So probably not clear from title but I’d say this is a Linux problem. Basically I’m using sbctl to sign the cachyos kernel on fedora since it eeks out a little performance and also as I understand it it uses a slightly differently scheduler so my computer doesn’t lock up when hitting a steam download hard. I’ve only just started getting the error recently so I’m assuming it’s related to the MS secure boot key stuff that happened in June. I have confirmed that using the default provision from my mobo doesn’t trigger the vanguard error. Trying to figure out a solution, otherwise I guess I have half a mind to just nuke shitty windows forever again. I’ll take either an alternative solution to the cachyos kernel or a solution to the keys. What I don’t understand is doesn’t sbctl enroll the default keys from your mobos firmware anyway? Is this simply that ANY modification to my secure boot keys is somehow a problem with vanguard now? Thanks all!

I wanted to give gate to sovngarde a try, and was following the Linux tutorial on their site, but things quickly fell apart when I couldn’t get steam tinker launch to get vortex running. It would throw out a “downloading” then “installing” popup, and then nothing would happen. Vortex appears to be installed in my Skyrim prefix, but STL just get caught in this loop of downloading and installing.

I am and always was a casual gamer, I like playing puzzles, strategy and builder games, sometimes I play with friends some 7 days to die or AoE2. I am on Linux Mint for more than a year now and was surprised how easy gaming was. From time to time I had problems with weird DirectX error messages, but all in all everything just worked.

I’ve been running Windows on my gaming desktop and am ready to make the switch to Linux (I run arch at work and cachyOS on my personal laptop). However, I’ve got some software that I want to use that’s Windows-only, and I’d rather not replace them and re-learn from scratch. Does anyone know of any software or methods to take the currently installed Windows OS and move it into a VM image I could run on Linux?

I have a home built PC that I want to get off Windows 11.

Hey everyone!

I played Arc Raiders again for the first time for a couple of months and I was kicked out because I used “Prohibited software” with the error code ARAV1011. Earlier I have never had any issues.
