A step-by-step guide to set up PC gaming on Ubuntu 24.04 / 26.04 LTS, plus a small
helper script (proton-run) to launch any Windows .exe through Steam's Proton —
straight from the terminal, no Steam library needed — and a GUI option (Lutris).
Tested on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (Wayland/GNOME) with a hybrid Intel + NVIDIA laptop (GTX 1660 Ti). Works on AMD/Intel-only machines too — just skip the NVIDIA-specific bits.
A bash script to completely remove stuck snaps from Ubuntu/Linux systems when normal snap remove fails.
Sometimes snap remove fails and leaves snaps in a broken state with stuck changes in snapd's internal database. Common errors include:
error: snap "package-name" has "remove-snap" change in progress
