1- Sometimes the file manager just won’t open and I get the error “Could not register nemo as a remote: Timeout was reached” when running it through the command line
2- Steam doesn’t work most of the time, games won’t launch, downloads won’t pause and I can’t exit out of steam, however, I can still navigate around the app.
Has anyone else ran into these issues and how are they solved?
Yeah, I’ve had some issues with Nemo as well. I ended up installing Thunar and have had a much better experience with it. And you can set it to be your default file manager if you like it.
Getting games to work can be a little tricky, depending on the game. Be sure to check out protondb for comments that others have. Sometimes it’s just a matter of changing the version of proton. Not sure about the other usability issues you’re describing.
Do you have an Nvidia graphics card? If you do, and if you haven’t already, you’ll probably want to use the proprietary driver instead of the open source one (which is selected by default). That might even help some of the Steam issues.
I have an amd card. I’ve already managed to get games working, native and through proton, the issue is with steam itself. I found a post explaining the problem better than I could here (warning: reddit).
