Steam games crash catastrophically on launch (Fedora 43). Please help!!
Hi folks!!! I'm a new Linux user with Windows dual booted, and while I'm *loving* Fedora, I can't seem to get my games running. I have an Nvidia GPU (4060 laptop). I knew it was gonna be tricky, but this one is completely mystifying me.
Nearly every game I launch crashes immediately and catastrophically, only able to be terminated via the terminal. I've updated all my drivers as RPM says on their guide. I do have a secure boot going, so I followed that guide, too, and mounted a key (though I didn't really understand what I was doing on that one sjfhskdh).
I've tried to check my drivers, make sure everything is in working order, and it seems to be matching what people say I should have. I'm so lost!! I desperately want to make the switch to Linux, and this is my last hurdle. What can I do to troubleshoot this?
