From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

PSA for openSUSE Tumbleweed users wondering why Proton doesn't launch properly on a fresh install (feddit.uk)

Had to deal with this recently. The cause is openSUSE's move to SELinux on new installs, which by default blocks the required permissions for the RPM version of Steam. You can correct this with these commands: ausearch -c 'steam' --raw | audit2allow -a -M my-steam to create the permissions file and semodule -X 300 -i my-steam.pp to apply it. Hopefully this saves someone else from the wild goose chase I went on earlier.

Does this achieve the same thing as the selinux-policy-targeted-gaming package?

I am unsure. I'll give this a try soon, as it looks like it probably does the trick. Thanks for letting me know.

EDIT: Seemingly not, at least on my setup. It was installed automatically as a dependency of Steam, but I needed to use my previous commands to get Proton to work.

I'm pretty sure my steam is installed via flatpak.

Is this only new installs?

[–] heythatsprettygood@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

Only new installs use SELinux by default. Existing installs continue to use AppArmor.
