Gentoo is nice for more choice and customization, though. I used Gentoo ages ago but now I just prefer distros that 'just work' and does all the shit for me. They did some changes with the way Steam deals with the runtime and native libraries that could potentially make a difference for you. Maybe replace various libraries with LD_PRELOAD until you find the one that is the problem? The trick is finding it! You might try dual-booting Ubuntu and Gentoo in order to compare them side-by-side if you really want to resolve the issue. It's probably some library somewhere that Ubuntu uses that is different in Gentoo, obviously. It's something other Gentoo users would have to help you resolve.

You need to be running Ubuntu for reporting issues typically, and if Ubuntu works fine but Gentoo doesn't, then the problem is obviously in Gentoo somewhere. That they do, but I don't blame them for not supporting Gentoo users specifically unless it's an issue that effects all distros, or is just something that if fixed would be a better way to release distro-agnostic software.

Lots of useful information can be found in our wiki: We know spam when we see it and will delete it. This means things like repetitious posting of similar content, low-effort posts/memes and misleading/exaggerated titles on link posts. We all need to support each other to help GNU/Linux gaming grow. 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. If you've ported your game to Linux or created some GNU/Linux-gaming-related content (reviews, videos, articles) then, so long as you're willing to engage with the community, please post it here.

Remember you are talking to another human being.ĭevs and content producers.

Heated discussions are fine, unwarranted insults are not. Please mark 'standalone' tech-support requests as support request and re-flair them as answered if an answer has been found (even if it was 'this can't be done'). This wiki page can help you gather system information. What exactly did you do, and how, and with what version of what? How have you tried to troubleshoot the problem? Vague, low-effort tech-support requests may get removed. Include relevant details like logs, terminal output, system information. Tech-support requests posted outside the Weekly Tech-Support Thread should be of general interest. It is not (primarily) a tech-support forum. r/Linux_Gaming is for informative and interesting gaming content, news and discussions.
