Sample Template for issues (suggestion, not required)

This forum is specifically for people who have or are planning to migrate from Windows to Linux, to talk about experiences, any issues and any setup you've had to do.
If there are any games that require special setup or apps, feel free to post here, aswell as if you run into any issues and can't find answers elsewhere.

Sample Template for issues (suggestion, not required)

Post by Ciaran »

  • Windows OS:
  • Linux OS:
  • Kernel Version:
  • Game/App:
  • Proton Version/Wine version:
  • CPU:
  • GPU:
  • RAM:
  • Primary Storage Device:
Now tell us what you're doing and what issues you're facing and what you expect to happen.
If you've tried anything, or made changes to any config files, try post the before and after changes so we can have a look(redact any lines in your files that you might consider sensitive information)
If you can also post which sites you consulted or if you have a chatlog from chatGPT/Copilot/Other Chatbot, please upload it too so we can understand your experience and what's been suggested.

Windows OS is optional. If you need to get your Linux OS version, open the terminal and type
cat /etc/*release
You'll get a few lines of output like below, please post either DISTRIB_NAME or PRETTY_NAME
DISTRIB_ID=Zorin
DISTRIB_RELEASE=17
DISTRIB_CODENAME=jammy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Zorin OS 17.3"
PRETTY_NAME="Zorin OS 17.3"
NAME="Zorin OS"
VERSION_ID="17"
VERSION="17.3"
VERSION_CODENAME=jammy
ID=zorin
ID_LIKE="ubuntu debian"
HOME_URL="https://zorin.com/os/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://help.zorin.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://zorin.com/os/feedback/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://zorin.com/legal/privacy/"
UBUNTU_CODENAME=jammy
In my case I'll post Zorin OS 17.3
Also in the terminal run the following to get your kernel version. It'll give us more information to help troubleshoot, it's a single-line output.
uname -r
For the sake of keeping things concise, please create a separate thread for each issue.
If you have 5 games you want help with - create a separate thread for each.
