This wiki is "fork" from /r/linux_gaming wiki with intention to make open, standard type of wiki that gathers all information, tutorials and tweaks to help with gaming on Linux. Please feel free to contribute, this wiki needs it to gain traction.
Getting Tech Support
Generally, the first port of call for problems that you may encounter is the dedicated support (forums, IRC, knowledgebases etc) provided by the Linux distribution that you're using. You can also ask for help in the Weekly Tech Support Thread that's pinned to the top of /r/linux_gaming. The relevant distro subreddit may also be useful - the popular ones can be found on the /r/linux sidebar. If the problem is a game-specific one, then searching out support from the game's website, subreddit, or Steam community hub may be of help. Otherwise, you may find the following links of use:
- /r/LinuxQuestions - general Linux support subreddit
- /r/Linux4Noobs - subreddit providing Linux support that is "explicitly noob-friendly"
- /r/techsupport - large multi-OS support subreddit
- LinuxQuestions.org - very well established general support site for Linux
- GamingOnLinux.com Tech Forum - All Linux gaming related tech help topics accepted
- Official Steam for Linux bug tracker - searching for issues posted on Steam or games on Steam may provide solutions
- ProtonDB - user reports on Proton/Steam Play game compatibility, often with comments regarding necessary tweaks
- Official Proton bug tracker - generally every Proton game is kept track of in its own issue report, so see if your game already has one and only create a new report if one doesn't exist
- Feral Interactive - for support on any games that have been ported/published by Feral Interactive
- Wine Database - holds support information for games that can be run through Wine
- Wine Forums - for support on games run through Wine that may not be covered in the Database
