need help form fellow #linux gamers again
i am trying to play death stranding through heroic games launcher (got it on epic for free) with my ds5 controller, which i wanna use its unique features with. i am on kde plasma with wayland and i know that for games on steam i have to use "PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1" for adaptive triggers and stuff to work but on hgl it does not seem to do anything and the game just does not recognize my controller.
for my distro i am on arch btw
@neatnit @nohaironheed Yes, they do. With their mobile OS they have a #Linux system of their own and I think that #Proton comes from them too.
I wrote that my rant is unfair, bc a lot works already! Put positively, it’s not that #Linuxgaming is niche, software that doesn’t work properly under Linux is!
Alas as in all niche topics some people want to use it (me, in that case)
What kind of stable objects can you build from neutrons alone?
(Spoiler: not the one in the picture, whatever Spock thinks.)

@teacherbuknoy NO!
You can even used the cursed Linux Subsystem for Windows (cuz the real "Windows Subsystem for Linux" is #Wine + #DXVK aka. #Proton!)…

We need more such saviors
Still seeking a good replacement for Proton bc they're not rly going in directions I like. Prob is that they are kind of flagship standard, so it'll be about what features we're okay without.
We know about Tuta and that's off the table and I'm not rly interested in "but why" discussions, it is enough to say they've been ruled out for legit reasons.
What we are looking for:
- End to end encryption @ rest (this should be standard for all providers IMO)
- Multiple domains
- Easy backups of entire mailbox (bridge or whatever)
- Not hosted in Five Eyes nation states (ideally)
- Ideally, disdain for AI.
Not rly asking just sharing.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 (Remake) running on the Steam-Deck. Just having some old school fun, rocking tricks with the board :)
Amazing, how much of the tricks is still in my muscle memory. I played that game and its successor *a lot* in the late 1990s on the Playstation1.
The remake runs perfectly fine under Linux with Proton
Ik denk dat ik nu mijn persoonlijke #google agenda heb vervangen door #Proton Calendar. Wat een gedoe. Google maakt het niet gemakkelijk om over te stappen. Of om google agenda in een externe agenda te plaatsen. Gelukkig heeft Proton duidelijk handleidingen. Het wachten is op het synchroniseren, wat ik lang vindt duren (beide kanten op)
#StarCitizen doesn't run anymore for many #Linux users after the devs tweaked their anti-cheat mechanisms to deal with increased amounts of cheating.
To resolve this issue it might help to REMOVE this environment variable which e.g. #Lutris adds automatically to the game config:
EOS_USE_ANTICHEATCLIENTNULL=1
@aral
Yes I dumped #expressvpn months ago for #Proton which actually works as well if not better and is European.
@RxBrad You could add protonup as a steam app so you can launch it from the gaming mode. I did that for the Discover app so I could update the flatpaks
Proton Experimental updated to fix the Epic Games Store and a few games https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/07/proton-experimental-updated-to-fix-the-epic-games-store-and-a-few-games/
RESOLVED!
Hmm, #Proton suddenly stopped working in #LibreWolf. Decryption error.
"Proton account requires a modern browser", define: modern.
My LibreWolf is up to date.
Since #VivaldiBrowser has a partnership with #Proton I am considering switching from #GoogleOne to that ecosystem, because then I could use the VPN, too, then.
The issue? After I finish an album that I'm working on, I want to leave #Windows for #Linux, but #ProtonDrive doesn't have a Linux client.
Let that sink in; a privacy service that doesn't work on LInux. WHAT?!
I didn't realise (until I got the payment notification) that today marks my second year of using @protonprivacy. It was definitely one of my best decisions to start using Proton and all their services. #Proton
It's not a security alert, my dear Google. It's by design.
