  • 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.






  • 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.





  • 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)
