Update: I got beamng.drive to work I haven’t tried space engineers although my guess is it will work but without audio (acording to everyone on protondb) whuch is unplayable imo so i will probably use windows for that. The problem was that I didn’t have write permissions on my secondary hard drive which is probably linked to my Windows install (I am currently dual booting with two ssd’s) so I installed beamng onto my main ssd and everything just worked!

Not sure how to fix the write permission error I’ve tried launching dolphin with root privileges. At the moment the best solution I can think of is formatting my hdd on Windows and then that may fix it. Although it would be nice if there was a solution without formatting it.

So far I’ve tried space engineers, counter strike and beamng.drive although I haven’t gotten any of them to launch yet except counter strike but I have had terrible frame rate and stuttering that made it unplayable.

No you were actually right the first time! I did mean counter strike. Thanks for the help though.

I’m running bazzite too. What games have you been playing?

Look at the post I sent to prole my experience has not really been smooth sailing.

Actually I’m completely new to Linux and only started using it as my main pc a few days ago. The games I’ve tried so far is: cs2 which plays natively without proton but with significant performance impacts which makes it virtually unplayable. And I’ve tried space engineers which is supposed to work but without audio (it wouldn’t launch for me) and beamng which is gold in protondb but I couldn’t get it to launch at all. Come to think of it I must be doing something wrong because so far I haven’t been able to get any game to launch when using proton.

Every game I want to play actually working first time everytime.

Yeah honestly they should change the name literally no one I have heard likes it.

Save space probably

I’m currently using bazzite due to its really solid out of the box support for gaming hardware and peripherals.

I’m really surprised everyone uses arch. I have three theories as to why:

1. There actually aren’t that many arch uses but when arch users have the opportunity they won’t hesitate to say “BTW I use arch” were as others don’t really bother.
2. There are lots of arch users and everyone uses it because they want to be able to say “BTW I use arch”
3. (Very unlikly) There are lots of arch users and it’s because it’s actually a good distro that people like.

(This is mostly a joke jsyk I’m sure arch is a great distro)

Yeah so I tried my nvidia gtx 1660 and yeah everything worked perfectly first try.

its a amd ryzen 1600 it doesn’t have an igpu. Although I have a spare gtx 1660 I might try that.

Bazzite has the same issue. Still no display output. And yes I’m sure my hdmi cable is plugged since it still works with safe graphics on and windows works perfectly with no issues.

Yeah that makes sense now. Thanks for the explanation.

Why do logs help with threat detection?

I don’t really understand the point of this. What kind of logs are you storing and why would you want to?

Yeah I’ve seen this distro seams really good and my main use case is gaming. I will give it a go.

I can’t even get into the login screen without safe graphics on so I’m not sure how I can login to a specific tty.

Yeah that sounds promising. I have read the wiki page and I tried a few boot commands I followed this guide Here is what I have added to the boot manager screen:

It didn’t work but I think it might be because I am doing something wrong here.

Yep I switched out the cable and a different cable type and a different display didn’t help.
