There are a bunch of games on steam labeled as “playable”, but that silently fail when I attempt to launch them. Always the same issue, and it isn’t specific to a single game. Binding of Isiac was one of these until recently, where it mysteriously fixed itself while I wasn’t paying attention. Titanfall 2 is another, which I’m still struggling with.
If anyones interested, I’ll copy paste the steam logs. I’m typing this from my phone, so I can’t do that from here.
What gpu do you have? Have you checked protondb? What version of proton do you have selected for steam play? What version of steam are you using? Flatpak, deb/rpm or snap?
I’m using Proton Experimental. While I have checked ProtonDB, I wasn’t able to find a solution.
I did find that quite a large number of people suggested I put the following in the launch options:
for var in $(printenv | cut -d= -f1); do export $var=$(echo ${!var} | rev | cut -c1-1000 | rev); done ; OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x20000000 %command% -window -noborder
But it didn’t change anything.
I played through the entirety of TF2 on Linux a while back, so I’m curious as to what’s the issue. Please share more details about your system and steam setup when you can.
I’m using Btrfs. I’m not that experienced with Linux, does that kind of thing usually cause issues?
How does one simplify distro hopping? Do you have a workflow to make it easier to set everything up?
Look up how to have /home on a seperate partition, it lets you keep your user files when distro-hopping
Is there a way to avoid creating a new one, or do you just replace the new one in /etc/fstab?
Do you mean: You currently have a separate partition mounted as /home and want to reuse this when installing a new distro?
Yes, there is a way to avoid creating a new one:
- In the gui or tui installer, choose manual partitioning
- If they don’t exist yet, create the partitions you want to use.
- Specify their file system (ext4 or whatever you prefer), mount point or use, e.g.
/,/home,swap.
!!! Be careful !!!
!!! For the /home partition make sure to uncheck recreate file system, format or alike. !!!
This is the partition currently filled with your data!
- apply changes and procede installation.
Does anybody use openrc? Ive used systemd on my gentoo install until recently my x99 motherboard just killed itself. Which i had LUKS + secureboot + tpm which left my gentoo install unrecoverable. I have a stage 4 tarball which is 2 months old that i can recover from. But im almost tempted to try to run OpenRC as my init system. Does anybody use openrc and if so what experiences have you had in comparison to systemd?
I know theres more steps to getting services setup compared to systemd at least in the gentoo install guide.
A few days ago I upgraded my gpu from nvidia to amd (rx 6700) and since then once in a while (a few times a day) my entire desktop freezes for a couple of seconds. I have mesa and lib32 mesa installed. Arch + X11 + bspwm Any ideas?
Does anyone have a Thin client setup using Linux? I did have a virtual Manjaro KDE on my Proxmox until an update borked it. Yesterday, I setup a Gnome VM because they have native RDP support. It’s still suboptimal. Content is still lagging and there’s tearing. Additionally, I would like a way to use the webcam+headset attached locally to my thin client as if they were connected to the virtual machine.
Previously, I have been Scripting around with USB IP but only with half success.
I just wanted to know your experiences
perhaps it’s worth trying https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/guacamole-docker.html (I do not have the pleasure, but it’s what I have on my radar) Good luck!
