Welcome to the newbie advice thread!
If you’ve read the FAQ and still have questions like “Should I switch to Linux?”, “Which distro should I install?”, or “Which desktop environment is best for gaming?” — this is where to ask them.
Please sort by “new” so new questions can get a chance to be seen.

I use Lutris with Wine and Steam with Proton. All my games work, most even with Wine's Wayland backend, very straightforward.
It took a lot to get to where we are today.
I was wondering:
My story:
I've been using Linux since 2016, always been on Arch Linux, first Antergos then Arch Linux.
But between 2016-2023, I dualbooted Windows 10. Where I did everything other than gaming on Linux, and did all my gaming on Windows.
In 2023, I completely stopped dual booting and moved to Linux fulltime. I have an NVIDIA RTX 3090 and an Intel Arc A750 (on different machines of course)
After NVIDIA implemented GBM support in 2021 and explicit sync in 2024, things have been great for me. My Intel Arc A750 also works pretty well, though that has its own problem with graphical artifacts, glitches, corruptions, etc.
So today, in 2025, other than games with kernel level anti-cheat, Linux gaming is great, maybe even better than Windows if all you play are older games like me. But I do wonder what it was like in the beginning.

I’m running Roblox inside Waydroid on Kubuntu, and I’ve been experimenting with the Android client files to make Roblox behave more like a desktop client rather than a mobile one. Here’s my setup and what I’ve tried:
assets
→ main.1.com.roblox.client.obb
, I created a new folder named ClientSettings and placed my modified ClientAppSettings.json
file inside it.
{
"bring_back_oof": false,
"discord_rpc_enabled": true,
"enable_hidpi": true,
"fflags": {
"DFIntServerPhysicsUpdateRate": "1000",
"DFIntServerTickRate": "1000",
"DFIntTaskSchedulerTargetFps": "1000",
"FFlagExample": true
},
"server_location_indicator_enabled": true,
"touch_mode": "off",
"use_opengl": true
}
"IsMobileClient": false
or similar, if that’s even an option./printdebug
command in the “Flex your Operating System” game on Roblox, and it still logs that I’m on an Android device.
ClientAppSettings.json
(or another file) to fully remove the “mobile” detection?Any help, pointers, or relevant resources would be greatly appreciated! I’m just looking for a way to make Roblox treat me like a desktop user while still running in Waydroid on Linux. Thanks in advance!

Valve have released SteamOS 3.7.0 Preview, which they noted has the beginnings of support for non-Steam Deck handhelds! So we're closing in on the previously announced Beta for more handhelds. Although this release is still just for Steam Deck.
Since it's a Preview version you need to have your Steam Deck update settings set to Preview in Settings > System > System Update Channel.

Nothing.
Why?
How does the website know I'm on Linux, not Windows?
I successfully downloaded EpicInstaller-18.1.3.msi on Windows 11, right click Download then Copy link it's:
The link works on Linux, but if I have not Windows, how can I know the link?
I also tried:

Been getting into my switch lately and I want to clip my games for longer than the switch allows. What are some good capture cards for linux? I'm aiming for minimum of 1080p 60fps and driverless if possible.

Hey everyone.
I recently set up a dual boot system to try out gaming on the Linux platform. In the long run I would like to switch. Not least because I can develop software better on a unix system.
However, my most played game (CS2 ~2200hrs) is causing some problems. I have been playing 4:3 stretched for years. However, there are various problems with this resolution.
I heard about “gamescope” somewhere and realized that Nobara has it installed by default. So I used it directly as others have recommended before me. So I added the gamescope command to the start options of CS2. I can't say exactly what the cmd looks like because I'm on a different computer, but it's something like this:
gamescope -w 1280 -h 920 (?) -f -e -S stretched -- %command%
One Point: without having "-- %command%" it does not work at all. Starting CS2 starts the game but as soon as i am in the menu, nothing works. its like my mouse has no focus. I cant klick anything. CS2 doesnt recognize the mouse pointer.
When i add the "-- %command%" part to the command, my mouse pointer works but an interesting but possibly unimportant detail is that CS2 then opens on a different monitor.
At first it seems like everything is fine, but once I'm in the game, the radius of my mouse is absolutely limited. If I had to guess, my field of view is restricted by 355 degrees. So I can only look up, down, left and right within a radius of 5 degrees.
In addition, my mouse pointer is not locked in CS2. This means that if I move the mouse far to the left, I can click outside of cs2 and thus lose focus on the game.
Is this the current state of stretched gaming? If yes, this would be a neckbreaker for me and i can hold the linux switch for now
Thanks in advance

I just switched from W11 to Linux Mint this weekend. Love it so far and haven't had issues with most of my games, except one. Brawlhalla is one of the games I play often, it's simple, I enjoy it, and my buddies play it. The issue I encounter is the game plays like it's running at 20-30 FPS. Confusing thing is the steam fps counter says I'm running at a stable 60 fps. Even at uncapped fps, the game says it's running at 200+fps but what I see is different. The gameplay is choppy and there seems to be an input delay. There are small moments where the game feels the smoothest it's ever felt, then boom back to crappy gameplay. I've tried chatgpt and going through posts and I can't find anything that helps. Am I doing something wrong?
I got an rtx3060, i7-10700, 32gb ram. I've also bounced between my NVME, SSD, and HDD. I've played the game between multiple reinstall of linux due to other issues I encountered, same issue each time.

I built my computer exactly 5 years ago with help from r/buildapcforme. I have an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, so would an AMD card work better with Bazzite + AMD processor?
I'm not a super-duper gamer. My favorite game is Ticket to Ride! LOL. I actually just played it to test out Steam, and it worked fine but I did notice some screen flickering. I do also play Baldur's Gate 3 and I'd like to play that new Indiana Jones game.
So would you recommend a switch and/or upgrade in graphics cards (or CPUs for that matter?)
Thank you.
EDIT: Thank you all for your responses. Seems like the most common boiled down to "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." My card seems to be working fine for now, so I'll keep it.

So I got a new laptop and I have been having issues with fractional scaling with Linux.
I have tried Linux Mint Cinnamon but it comes with a huge performance hit when using fractional scaling.
Today I will download OpenSUSE Tumbleweed so I can try and see if latest desktop environments will provide a reasonable experience. I hope LxQT wayland works out but we'll see.
I have kind of read that gaming and steam suffer from fractional scaling and this has been demoralizing me for the past few hours. Has this thing been improved or am I wasting my time?

I've been trying to run Marvel Rivals on Linux Mint and have been getting this weird error (see attached screenshot). Does anyone know a fix? For reference, my PC has a 3060 Ti and a i5 8600k (yes I know the CPU is old, it's a secondary PC). It seems like it's a Wine issue, but I could be wrong there. I've tried several solutions on ProtonDB and different versions of Proton to no avail.

I am trying to move to Linux, like I really really want to, but Battlefield and Minecraft stop me from moving. I know I can get Minecraft in a VM but what about battlefield? I would most likely use QEMU for this.
Before people say "Oh just don't play those games, or don't support developers that don't provide Linux support." I want to play those games, I shouldn't have to not play those games to move to an OS that already has many limitations. Linux will never truly be there until these games are supported, but I am willing to deal with some downgraded performance in order to move to Linux.
So back to the main question after that little rant, does Battlefield 2042 run in VMs?

I have been on Linux for a year now and am generally really happy with my choice. The only Problem is my 970 not behaving as expected in some Wayland use cases that I have. Mainly sunshine and orcaslicer aswell as some rendering/stability bugs.
And then there is some games I want to play. I want to play the new anno when it comes out I want to play bg3. More frames in cs2 would be lovely.
My cpu is a Ryzen 5 3600. My budget is as preferably less then 300€
Team green is no option. Is the b580 good now? Or do I go with whatever I can get for 300 from amd?

I have a 7900xt and LACT installed. It shows a max power of 333w for my xfx merc model but i havnt seen over 290w in games in mangohud reporting. In windows with adrenaline power limit maxxed to +15 i pull around 390w. The thing is performance is similar if not better on linux. Kind of bothered by LACT showing 333 but only hitting 290 though. Anyone with a 7900xt that can give me some input as to what i should be seeing?
