Started following just recently and gotta say: thanks for getting me back into Linux. Last time I daily drove anything that was not Windows it was with Ubuntu 16.04. I now wanted to be a "tryhard" and daily drive Nix 😂. So much fun and so much to learn.
That error is a very ancient error that occur when your main library doenst have space for uncompress the game, then iterates per all libraries ans takes the biggest one. If you happen to have a ntfs partition but mounted with a wrong user or uid, that problem happens. The solution is removing the ntfs library temporarily or mount ntfs with uid=1000 on fstab. I can be wrong but It happened to me before.
Thanks for putting this on your channel. I hope you create an update for the Ultimate Linux Gaming guide soon. As someone new to Linux I'm leaning heavily on people with brains I don't have. Loving that you show the whole thought process and code. You've made me consider if I should go Arch rather than Mint. Perhaps a hand holding safe Mint gaming guide is needed for us scared to death types :)
Not nearly as knowledgeable as you but I have been running and arch system for over a year now with an xfs filesystem. Every once in awhile i will get a kernel update or a nvidia driver update that bricks xorg and I have to roll back. However I have limited that by ignoring kernel updates in my pacman.conf and paying more attention to those updates. Have been playing BG3 and D4 with no real issues. Thanks for taking time out of your day to teach us new things !
Hey Chris, i read recently that ext4 is preferable for gaming over btrfs due to something about ext4 being case sensitive with file names and having special functionality that both steam and proton really need for best performance. I havnt verified this but swithcing did seem to fix some of my games...though it could be something else as it wasnt the onlt thing that was changed in my set up since last year.
Casefold. This has helped me in Lutris with game mods. It’s a required option when formatting a partition as ext4, and cannot be applied after the fact. You’ll need to replace your current ext4 gaming partition if you decide to pursue this route. I’ve never had a problem with casefold.
I have had issues with a few games that went away after switching from btrfs to ext4. Not sure if this was the cause of the fix...but they all work now and didn't before.
On a side note, I am interested if steam and proton put anything in the root directory? If they do not it may be possible to put root on btrfs and your /home with all the steam and proton files on ext4. I mainly wanted btrfs so I could get those instant snapshots with timeshift, but I only snapshot my root and not my home, so my next install might try this method for best of both worlds...ie fast snapshots...and casefold capabilities for steam/proton.
Btrfs is really good nowadays and should work without problems, as Wine will do the case folding.. so this shouldn't be a problem, it might be marginally slower.. but on SD cards - like with the SteamDeck - it can be even faster by using compression.
I have a lot of corrupted game install lately and I think it's just SSDs dying quietly... Everytime it happened I moved the files to another disk, verified and it worked. Just my two cents. I noticed when the game files passed verifications but still crashed at very specific moments... I guess some files get accessed and they're on dead sectors. The SSDs pass "smart" so it's very weird.
Hi, I’ve had been here for a long time. And I’ve never thought about talking, but for a long time I have been thinking about VFIO .And since you from time to time have been uploading content about gaming on Linux. I think it would be great if you just do some video about it. Like pro and cons, setting in up and things like that. And sorry if I have grammar mistakes, English isn’t mi first language and I’m still learning.
I have had amazing luck with POP Os lately as a gaming system. Even a windows buddy of mine installed squad with anti cheat all by his windows loving self. LOL. BG3 like most games for me lately just install and play. We are almost there!
Works fine with that driver and proton experimental 8.0 here, but I bought BG3 on GOG not Steam. Furthermore how does Proton even affect the download, does the Steam client itself run on it?
I feel like we're going to have to start a "Titus quotes of infamy" list. 🤣

Click on video about gaming on Linux. Host spends the entire video dealing with disk corruption, juggling cables to make the video capture work, etc. This is so validating of my experience 😊
I've also had that problem with Steam installation. In my case, however, my motherboard is suddenly not stable with my RAM. Popped out a RAM stick and it verifies just fine. In every case I've seen, the files themselves aren't actually corrupted; the system just isn't able to verify them properly. If you reattempt the verification over and over, you may see different files coming up 'corrupted', including ones that passed in the previous attempt.
I have used xfs for a few years at this point, for me it has been rock solid the whole time, never failed on me even once. Also It's has a far more impressive technical foundation compared to ext4 (in my opinion) thanks to features like dynamically allocated inodes and being like an actual 64-bit file system. Nonetheless, the source of Chris's information regarding XFS being in maintenance mode raises my curiosity. Would you happen to possess any insights into this matter?
reading the changelogs for Baulder's Gate 3, the Hotfix 4 did have some issues so they rolled it back until the issues were fixed. Reading the patch notes, it looks to be a compiler corruption issue. Maybe this was one of those issues?
This was interesting. Could you do a video sometime on running windows for gaming through a VM in linux with cpu isolation and gpu passthrough? Has anyone done this with success? I really want to get off windows but don't want to dual boot and still play games without the headache. Is this realistically possible?
Chris can you do an update on modding games on linux? Nexus mods is working on a replacement for vortex and it has a linux verion! Its pre-alpha and not much works. I manually mod my games and assign tags to the mods to keep it organized. Ive tried w10 vm and expose folder to the vm with vfio. It works too, but u gotta boot up that vm everytime
Have come back to Linux deb packaged and I have no amount of problems with Steam/Proton and have tried everything. No solutions as of yet but apart from that I'm happy with everything else including access to Windows 365 via Chrome.
There's actually no reason why the debian-installer version should write corrupt files and a flatpak version won't, neither it's an xfs vs btrfs vs ext4 thing (except, ext4 probably won't notice corrupted files, xfs may see it, btrfs will see it). What you are seeing is more likely a bitflip in your memory or overclocked bus. You should really check your memory with memtest86 and let it run for multiple hours, and check your bus clock settings in the BIOS.
everything starting from 13:06 is exactly why Linux Desktop sucks and is considered completely not user friendly by most ppl. This shit has to just work, no udev nonsense no permission nonsense. Sadly Linux fans have not realized this in 20 years and keep blaming the user for "not understanding" how installing something as popular as Steam is not just a single click works install.
I don't know about other things but gaming on Linux is a subpar experience, especially if you have an Nvidia GPU. Anyone thinking otherwise is just coping
I use immutable distro and that break much less than standard distro. Because application as flarpaks are separate from core system. But for gaming i prefer console, cheaper than graphic card.
Wondering for live service games if I should stay on Windows. I used to boot to both to game but when the launcher breaks it breaks hard, game(s) won't update properly etc. I love Linux gaming though really hope it keeps getting better.
Hello , Chris can you test for me if you have freesync/gsync monitor is it working with debian latest ,because right now on arch is a terrible expirience ==) it was fine like month ago , the current radv driver is the reason i know because with - amdvlk (proprietery) was working fine but the compile time is not good and stuteters are ruining the expirience. If its possible just mention : if its working corectly or not.
Wtf would Chris be dumb enough Within linux steam to be trying to run a game from an n t f s file system drive? Chris Titus knows the difference between links and windows worlds in terms of file system types for drives.
went recently on windows 11 because i wanted to play games. Games work fine but OH MAN, i didn't miss this OS, i don't know how people are able to use this crap (and i am being really kind here). worst user experience i have ever seen in my entire life.
I use Windows 11 Ghost Spectre. It is a custom Windows ISO (and I'm neither the first nor the last to use it). Unlike stock Windows 11: - It needs 0.8 GB RAM to run after a clean install and can be reduced to 0.5 GB if you run Chris Titus' debloat script and the TIW11 script (This Is Windows 11) and set MemReduct to run in the background and clean the RAM every 10 minutes. - No preinstalled Edge AT ALL. Choose what browser you want from the Ghost Toolbox (its shortcut is on the desktop after the installation). Just type in 2 numbers with enter after each of them and that's it. Sure, you can enable Internet Explorer from Windows Features if you want to install a different browser by yourself. - Can choose to have the telemetry disabled by default by picking the superlite option when installing. - You can choose to not have Windows Defender before you install. Very useful if you plan to squeeze every bit of performance. - The Ghost ToolBox also allows you to change the right click options, Windows Explorer Ribbon and Paint back to the Windows 10 style. - Much less disk usage after booting up. A friend of mine said Windows 10 boots in like 5 minutes on his old laptop (HDD). I told him to install Windows 11 Ghost Spectre. He did it and now it boots in about 30 seconds. - Also, the dark theme is set by default. I can tell it behaves nicely even in a VMware virtual machine. I have already compared it to other Windows 11 and Windows 10 custom Windows ISOs before I decided to go with it. For example, AtlasOS lacked any kind of support for the connections thingy in Windows Explorer (it just won't let you use it). NexusLiteOS uses Windows XP's graphics drvier and it can cause problems of displaying content on the screen depending on your hardware configuration.
@@alexcolclough3001lol imagine having a spare GPU, also imagine constantly having to switch monitors and USB device to and from a VM. Imagine having a motherboard with enough PCIE lanes to have multiple GPUs attached to it at the same time. Sorry, but Vritualization at least rn, sucks.
@@donkey7921 I don’t have any issues. I pass all of that stuff through. It’s not a problem. I have a single monitor. Most modern motherboards have multiple lanes for gpus.
@@andreaszuber4341 Can you please suggest me a Linux distro for coding and it should run genshin without any hassle? And my graphics drivers are Intel iris and nvidia 1650 GeForce.
@@sibarammoharana7375 I can't really suggest you something as I run Gentoo for like 20 years and you should probably not use that until you really really love customization above everything else. I don't really have much experience with other distros🙂
