Since the Steam Proton update is so new, it requires a newer Nvidia driver than what's distributed with Ubuntu 18.04.1. Step 2a: Install The Latest Nvidia Driver I've written an Ubuntu installation guide for beginners, so if you don't have Ubuntu on your PC yet, make this your first stop. Valve has advanced Linux-based gaming by leaps and bounds with this initiative, but proceed with caution knowing this is still firmly in the realm of "Beta!" I can confirm that many of them work flawlessly. So now, theoretically, the vast majority of games you could only play on Windows can now be installed directly in the Steam for Linux client. It's open source, and the tools are installed seamlessly in the background depending on the game. What Valve has done is improved upon those tools (and employed the main developer of the DirectX to Vulkan project) and published their own version called Proton.
While this method works, it's a bit scattershot and requires a ton of trial and error, manual configuration and guesswork. See the README for more detailed instructions.įor further information please visit our forum. Hardware designs will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so please consult with a system's manufacturer to determine whether that particular system is compatible. Some designs incorporating supported GPUs may not be compatible with the NVIDIA Linux driver: in particular, notebook and all-in-one desktop designs with switchable (hybrid) or Optimus graphics will not work if means to disable the integrated graphics in hardware are not available. Note that the list of supported GPU products is provided to indicate which GPUs are supported by a particular driver version. Either accept that offer, edit your X configuration file manually so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used, or run nvidia-xconfig One of the last installation steps will offer to update your X configuration file. Installation instructions: Once you have downloaded the driver, change to the directory containing the driver package and install the driver by running, as root, sh.
This may interact better with the rest of your distribution's framework, and you may want to use this rather than NVIDIA's official package.Īlso note that SuSE users should read the SuSE NVIDIA Installer HOWTO before downloading the driver. Note that many Linux distributions provide their own packages of the NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver in the distribution's native package management format.
