  • Fix doom eternel black screen regression when using wine-wayland

  • disable steam input and xalia in wine-wayland (they dont work with it) and enable sdl instead

  • add protonfixes for Blade & Soul NEO -- game is now playable but there is a known crash in-game when you open the settings. Opening the settings at character select works fine

  • add protonfix to set SteamOS=1 for Wuthering Waves --game is now playable

HOTFIX: GE-Proton10-7:

  • Re-added the PROTON_PREFER_SDL option. When this envvar is set steam input and hidraw are disabled so that SDL takes priority over controller support.

HOTFIX (GE-Proton10-6):

The wine-wayland patches needed rebasing and needed force pushing due to a problem with a few commits in them noted by the author that can cause some crashing, making GE-Proton10-5 version invalid.

The 10-5 release was reverted due to the force push per the request of the wine-wayland patch set author, thus the version bumped to 10-6. It's one of those view weird instances where you will see a version missing in the releases. (This also happened in the past with media foundation stuff that Valve yelled at me about). Oopsie.

Changelog (GE-Proton10-5):

Nothing too major here, mostly just an update to upstream's code since it's been about 30 days.

  • Wine-wayland patches have been updated/rebased, should fix some nvidia crashes, and no longer need this mesa patch: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/34918

  • patches added to help with Wuthering Waves.

  • protonfixes updated

  • protonfix added for Artificial Academy 2

  • protonfix added for Persona 4 Arena Ultimax

  • protonfix added for Anno 1800 from Ubisoft Store

  • protonfix added for Anno 1800

Today, I switched the last of my Windows machines to Linux: my gaming PC. I've been using Linux on servers for many years but was a bit apprehensive for gaming.

Turns out it just... works. Just installed steam and turned proton on, have zero performance or other issues. I'm using Ubuntu 25.04 for the 6.14 kernels NT emulation performance tweaks. Aside from there not being a catalyst driver for it and so I can't undervolt my card everything is great.

Gardiner Bryant had conversation with Manjaros lead, Phillip Muller and was told that Valve has the Orange Pi Neo in-hand and they’re testing it, probably to bring SteamOS support for the handheld

Hi all,

I'm traveling for a few months so I picked up a used gaming laptop from one of those trading sites. It's an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 2024.

I initially went with Windows because I wanted to game. I was gonna miss my terminal for dev and a bunch of other things but I thought compatibility and not dealing with hassle was more important for now. The thing is, for some reason, the laptop would be running really hot all the time ... even when idling.

I got fed up and I put Pop OS! loaded steam with the compatibility stuff and ran a few games really well. My only issue so far was that the laptop keyboard didn't work during installation but after an update it was fine. The laptop obviously gets hot when running games but when idling it runs really cool.

This is now making me feel like I can convert my gaming desktop over as well!

I was considering Bazzite too? Anyone know if it's worth it?
