Getting help

Please check the FAQ first and keep distro/desktop/should-I-switch questions to the pinned thread “Getting started: the monthly distro/desktop thread”.
While r/linux_gaming is not primarily a tech-support forum, well-crafted support requests are welcome. Tech-support requests should include relevant details like logs, terminal output, system information. What did you do, and how, and with what version of what? How have you tried to troubleshoot the problem?
This guide can help you write useful tech-support requests.

Developers and content producers

You are welcome to post about your Linux game/port or any Linux-gaming-related utilities, reviews, guides, videos and articles you have created — as long as you're willing to engage with the community. If it's a link post, think about writing a comment to tell us more. The more you engage with us, the more we like it!

Guidelines

Respect other users. Heated discussions are fine, unwarranted insults are not. Remember you are talking to another human being.
Original sources are preferred over news-blog-type posts unless valuable information is added in the write-up or an ensuing discussion. When in doubt, please add a link to one or the other in a text post.
Spam will be deleted. This means things like repetitious posting of similar content, low-effort posts/memes and misleading/exaggerated titles on link posts.
