I'm new to Fedora and GNOME (Finishing up customizing on my new laptop with a 1800px x 2880px 120hz display). In the video maximized bordered mode works, but when i try to turn on fullscreen it is way bigger than my screen. I tested this on both the unofficial flatpak wrapper and prism launcher (I couldnt get the official launcher to open). I also tried modifying some of the socket settings like with x11 and wayland in flatseal, but that didnt fix it either. Any idea how to fix it? Thanks!

I attached a second monitor to my Wayland (dwl) system. Trying to run games on both screens, but Xwayland seems unable to stretch to a second screen when I go full screen (CTRL+e). Anybody know how to achieve multi-monitor fullscreen steam windows on on steam using Xwayland?

My setup (wlr-randr output):

HDMI-A-1 "Invalid Vendor Codename - RTK J522J23 0x25601440 (HDMI-A-1)" Make: Invalid Vendor Codename - RTK Model: J522J23 Serial: 0x25601440 Physical size: 490x270 mm Enabled: yes Modes: 2560x1440 px, 59.998001 Hz (preferred, current) Position: 2560,0 Transform: 90 Scale: 1.699219 Adaptive Sync: disabled HDMI-A-2 "LG Electronics LG ULTRAWIDE 0x0006345C (HDMI-A-2)" Make: LG Electronics Model: LG ULTRAWIDE Serial: 0x0006345C Physical size: 800x340 mm Enabled: yes Modes: 2560x1080 px, 59.978001 Hz (preferred, current) Position: 0,0 Transform: normal Scale: 1.000000 Adaptive Sync: disabled

Overal, very happy with how well CachyOS runs on this.

Had to do a bit of tweaking to get it running a bit more optimally but that was just a matter of providing a few kernel arguments. I also capped the 10900k CPU to 4.6ghz in BIOS and configured Intel-undervolt with a 120mv undervolt and 160w power limit, stock CPU power limit is 250w. This laptop runs a lot quieter now than it does on Windows but one of the main reasons for that I believe is the crappy Alienware Command Center software overriding the default fan curves with horrible ones. Out of the box on Linux the fan curve is a lot smoother and a lot quieter unless under a heavy load of course and I also noticed out of the box when I set the power profile in KDE it automatically adjust the fan curve which is sick.

A few extra changes I made was I got rid of octopi and setup pamac which I much prefer and I also removed Plymouth and unnecessary hooks from the initramfs which knocked a good few seconds off the boot time.

I’m also quite impressed by the performance, it is incredibly snappy, but the one thing I was quite sceptical about was GPU and gaming performance because Nvidia drivers yuck, however it seems the drivers have improved lately. When I first tested after installing though it was awful however adding the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 kernel argument made a huge difference and now I don’t seem to be noticing any loss in performance compared to Windows. Games I’ve tested so far: Final Fantasy VII Remake, Clair Obscur and Crysis 2 Remastered.

There is only two things on this laptop that do not work with Linux, the Tobii eye tracking but that’s ass anyway and the Alienware RGB, the RGB controller is recognised and it’s USB based and I can see it and open RGB but there is obviously no profile for it so it just recognises it as a Dell G series controller so it just as weird stuff when I try to change anything. I do still have a small Windows partition for some VR games and also to control the RGB. As the RGB controller is USB base, it can also be controlled from a virtual machine very easily.

I’m running WoW from battle.net under Proton-GE from Steam (Steam -> battle.net -> proton-ge WoW) - works perfectly!

.. until I went into the in-game store (never done before) and went to look at WoW token.. just opens up a black screen woth an <X> to close. Presumably its trying an in-game browser to do purchase things?

Anyone have an idea how to get that to work?

Thanks!

I am new to linux and it's inner workingd. I have installed bazzite, nobara, and pop os and I tried them and I'm honestly confused about all three Operating systems. I currently have bazzite installed and I it just not plug and play experience with my games on my ssd. The Proton layers just do not working most of the time. I can't find any videos about how to fix the ssd for steam library store.

My kid wants to move from a beat up old Windows laptop to a home-built Linux system for playing games like Victoria 3. I've read the recommended system requirements for that game (here) and done a little additional research into what people think is really needed (including a recommendation to go with 32GB RAM here).

I used to build my own machines before migrating to laptops. That was a long time ago and I am not sure I'm making good choices. I want to support my kid's exploration of linux gaming but don't want to spend forever fighting driver issues because I screwed up selecting. Can you all help a dad out and let me know if this build presents any concerns for gaming set up on linux? Any advice on distros to make this a good experience?

Mobo: ASUS Prime B550-PLUS AC-HES (3rd Gen Ryzen) ATX motherboard

I'm trying to get the paddles and bumpers working in steam input with absolutely no luck. In Bluetooth mode they will show in the edit screen sometimes but the extended button toggle never works and the only two times I've been able to map them from the edit screen they don't work.

I installed windows on a separate drive and the controller is now fully updated. That also didn't work.

For the life of me I can't get these four buttons working at all. This is Cachyos desktop with arch deckify.

Given the rapid rise of Linux gaming and overall adoption in 2025, will there be a day when big multiplayer titles like COD, Battlefield, Fortnite or Valorant will be able to run natively on Linux systems with full anti-cheat support?

I recently picked up a cheap ARGB hub with a remote control because OpenRGB won't work with my MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk mobo and I just want one static color for all fans and not breathing rainbow puke. OpenRGB only sees the RAM. As I'm looking at all of The hub's connectors, I'm wondering what I need and what I can skip, as the manufacturer appears to assume I'm using it for all of my fans' needs but I just want it to control the ARGB with the remote.

Questions:

1. Would I be okay if I kept my PWM connectors on the mobo and only plugged in the 3-pin ARGB connectors to the hub? I know it would need to be powered by SATA.

2. Do I need to connect the PC IN connector to the mobo's ARGB header? Not for syncing, but perhaps for turning them off when I turn off the PC?

3. It says the red FAN1 port must be populated, but I don't need it. Any idea if that would impact the ARGB function of the hub?

Thanks!

Hello. I have Sonic Adventure 2 on Steam and I'm trying to play it on my Linux system. The game opens, but then, out of nowhere, it glitches, minimizing and leaving the game stuck on a black screen. Then I have to close and open it again.

This never happened when I played on Windows. I already tried using an alternative version of Proton in the compatibility settings, but it didn't help. It's ruining my experience.

I would appreciate some help to solve this problem, if possible.

Hi there,

I am a Linux newbie and tried to install the latest Bazzite OS on my machine (specs see below). After installation it will not boot properly and just show a blinking white bar in the top left. When I check kdeinit5 it will tell me that $DISPLAY is not set.

Does anyone now, how to fix that or narrow down the problem?

Specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
Asrock Fatal1ty B450 itx
KFA2 GTX 1080 EXOC
16GB DDR4
WD SN750 500GB NVMe

I downloaded Bazzite from their website and selected the legacy version for GTX 10xx with KDE.

Thank you

Hey i hope i found here some help, i alrady seached a long time but wanst able to make it. I wanna controll my mainboard/fans via openrgb (or another software if there is one) On winows openrgb is working fine and ic can see and controll anything (ram, mouse and mainboard) on linux (cashyos) pen rgb only somtimes find my mainboard, i havent figure out when it gets found and when not, root perm dosnt made a diferenz. I was able to use the offical software on windows to wirte a color with a basic effect diractly to the hardware so its also looking nice when using linux (what i do most of the time) so i dont need advanced controll but i realy want an option to disable the rgb, i want this option for energy saving when im not at home (and play remote) and when going to sleep....

Could somone teach me step by step how i can do this?

I’ll be on break from college next week, and I really want to try a different operating system. I basically use my PC only for gaming, and I don’t care about multiplayer titles. I know Nvidia GPUs usually have worse support on Linux compared to AMD, and I have an RTX 4060 Ti with an i5-12400F and 32GB of DDR4 RAM.

Will I run into any major issues gaming on Linux with this setup? Will I lose a lot of performance?

btw any distro recommendations?
