Crosscode.

Been trying to figure out how to access my Steam library after switching from W10 to Mint.

Is your steam library in a NTFS drive? If not try to add the folder on steam.

you fully replaced the OS or are you dual booting and want to access the games that are installed on your windows partition?
If you fully replaced, look at Steam Play in Steam's settings. Check that and all the non-native games appear as well.

Dual-boot. Just testing it out right now.

dwarf fortress

do what said, mount the windows partition so that Mint sees it's contents and then in Steam's data settings add the directory where you have your shit already installed

Can you have ray tracing in Linux?

I think it is.

yes

How? I thought Wine doesn't support that.

Yes, but I believe Quake 2 RTX is the only game that works. DX12 raytracing isn't currently supported in Wine/Proton, and the only other game I'm aware of that uses Vulkan raytracing is Wolfenstein: Youngblood, which only lets you use raytracing if DLSS is also supported (which is impossible for Wine to support unless Nvidia opens up the API)

None
I wish Linux gaming was perfect, but on my hardware even TF2 and CS:GO stutter for some reason, and PCSX2 just chugs much, MUCH more no matter what I do.

you asked avout Linux, not WINE

I'm sorry to hear that, user
hopefully the jews who made your hardware give at least few resources to chads who will make decent Linux drivers for whatever the fuck you have

If it's literally only one game that has it it would've been more accurate to say 'no'.

sounds like your wm is fucking you over, what are you using?

cope

cope with what?

Like I can't be the only one with this, I'm getting a lot of stutters often in CS:GO and TF2. What could be the cause? NVIDIA? GNOME sucking with fullscreen redirecting? Valve's shitty ToGL layer/game ports?

It shows that it is technically possible
If developers of other games are faggots, that's a different problem

GNOME. Fullscreen on all games.
i5-7400
GTX 1060 3GB
Ubuntu 20.04 (I'm done with fucking with other distros, this one works best as an all-rounder, though I used to use Mint and Fedora and they are comfy too, it shouldnt be a distro problem anyways)

From what I've heard it's X being a piece of trash software. Try buying AMDGPU and checking if you get the same issue with Gayland.

Linus flipped off Nvidia for a good reason
GNOME could be factor as well. Depends on what version. New Wayland ones should not be that much of a problem, but older bloated ones could contribute to resource consumption quite a lot.

>GNOME
There's your problem. Even if you're not using wayland (which I hope you don't) the wm of gnome3 is fucky. Try something minimal like openbox, icewm, i3, etc. and see if it fixes the stuttering. Also note that xfce4's wm has compatibility issues with nvidia so I wouldn't recommend it right now. And don't even think about using KDE.

Wayland is disabled by default on NVIDIA.

Also I don't see why it would be an issue with GNOME. It unredirects fullscreen apps by default.

Never even thought about KDE. Looks like a kids toy for /r/unixporn.

Openbox helped very insignificantly.

I remembered downgrading from latest 450 drivers helped significantly and even some visual artifacts went away. On 435 now.

>Also I don't see why it would be an issue with GNOME.
Neither do I but a) it most likely still is the issue and b) using gnome is the equivalent of sucking off Pottering so if you aren't a massive faggot you better drop that shit.
What kernel are you using? Does it support fsync? Do you use a compositor?

He will also need to enable Steam Play regardless, if he wants to run Windows games from his Windows partition on Linux.

If he is trying to run the games already downloaded on his Windows partition, he should also be aware that, if the games he already downloaded on Windows include games with Linux versions, the Linux version of Steam might try to replace them with the Linux versions, via automatic updates, if he doesn't select the option to force Proton usage for every such game. If I check or uncheck the "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" option for a game with both native Linux and Windows versions, Steam automatically starts replacing the Linux version with the Windows version or vice versa accordingly.

Sometimes unredirect is fucky.

GNOME is the only worthwhile Linux DE.

>What kernel are you using? Does it support fsync? Do you use a compositor?
As I said, GNONE but fullscreen so should be unredirected. Kernel is the latest ubuntu 20.04 LTS one which is 5.4.0 I believe.

Is mint still the best distro for windows brainlets?
