    (Solved) I need help playing preinstalled windows games on Xubuntu

    Thank you, this works. I installed a few GOG games and they all work fine. My "steam" games are hit and miss still. I could only get Proton 7.27 earliest version and that didn't work either. I tested The Forest and it works fine, so 2 games work so far

    (Solved) I need help playing preinstalled windows games on Xubuntu

    Awesome thanks! I'll give that a try. My games are mostly from steamunlocked so they come in a zip file and when extracted it is the entire install directory with the launch exe somewhere in there..

    Heroic Game Launcher is nice, but I am having the same problems as with Wine... One game gives a Steam Error and crashes on launch. The other one launches, but the menus are pitch black and impossible to navigate... (maybe dx problem?)

    Is this a manager for official Epic Games and GOG store? Some of my games came from unofficial sources...

    I know user CaffeineAddict recommended a different way but I can't recall... Does anyone have a stable reliable way of playing windows games on Linux?

    (Solved) I need help playing preinstalled windows games on Xubuntu

    Hi everyone, I used Wine to play a preinstalled windows game, but my other games don't work... Either I get a steam error and game crashes on launch or some games launch but with menu screens pitch black... I have Ryzen 3 CPU with integrated Vega 3 GPU. I updated wine and downloaded steam...

    Which linux best for dual core processor

    I'm personally a fan of the XFCE Desktop Environment, so Xubuntu or Mint XFCE are my top recommendations.

    How to handle bloat on GNU/Linux?

    If you want to see which programs write where on a Linux system, you can use the inotify-tools package. This package provides a set of command-line tools that can be used to monitor file system events in real time. To install inotify-tools, you can use the following command: sudo apt-get...

    I installed Linux Mint XFCE on my sister's laptop.

    I'm 100% sure. It is a nasty scratching sound, almost like an old CD/DVD drive trying to run a scratched disk.

    Wlan0 not showing

    On Kali, this is a great way to open the floodgates for phishing attacks on your machine. (at least from my experience on VM) I didn't even run dist upgrade, just sudo apt upgrade, but my host machine AV was going wild with notifications from phishing attempts blocked. After I cancelled, in my...
