One problem with a lot of modern games is just how big they're getting, but HELLDIVERS 2 is about to massively shrink thanks to work behind the scenes.

It turns out that not only are Valve using the open source FEX for the Steam Frame but they have been funding FEX since the beginning of it.

Current Specs:

• CPU: i5-9300H
• GPU: GTX 1650 (Mobile)
• RAM: 16GB Dual Channel
• OS: Debloated Win10

I am planning to switch to Bazzite but have three specific blockers I need to clear up before wiping my drive:

1. Nvidia & Gamescope: Does the GTX 1650 play nice with Bazzite's Game Mode (Gamescope) yet?
2. Thermal Control (asusctl): This laptop (G531GT) has terrible thermals without manual intervention.
   • Does asusctl expose full fan curves for this older 2019 model?
   • Since Bazzite is immutable, how painful is it to layer intel-undervolt? I need to undervolt the CPU or it throttles immediately.
3. Emulation (Yuzu/Cemu): Has anyone tried Yuzu/Cemu or even PCSX2 emulation on Bazzite with similar specs?

If anyone has run Bazzite on 16-series mobile GPUs, I'd appreciate the input.

I have a machine I use with an 3060 and 5060 ti. No matter what I do my game is rendering on my 3060. I am on ubuntu 24.04. I have tried changing the xorg default gpu, setting cuda visible devices, all sorts of things. Aside from actually removing the 3060 I can't figure out a way to fix this. I use it for AI and need both GPUs

So basically the tldr for this is I want a steam cube but my PC is 10x more powerful than it. I want SteamOS but properly.

I'm looking for help with getting SteamOS on to my desktop the right way so I don't have issues. I tried the cachyos handheld route but all the handheld specific stuff is screwing me over espically the Jupiter package.

I've been told now that putting handheld on a desktop was dumb to begin with because there's a lot more baked into it that makes the cooling system and other stuff unreliable thanks to being a desktop.

I've tried chatgpt as well but a good portion of its instructions are either non-existant or just putting the handheld stuff that is messing it up to begin with back in contradicting itself.

I want to keep it to arch as that's the only distro I haven't had issues with cachyos specifically preferred.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this goal with full functionality and not giving up fan control?

Hello

I've been looking into options for a secondary pc for streaming. I currently run a dual-PC setup and am trying to downsize for a move. I saw some magic there that can be applied to get it to encode, and I wanted to know if anyone has tried it and how it went.

It was great to discover Limo when doing my switch from Windows to Linux seeing that you can use it to mod Skyrim and though by logic that the rest of Bethesda titles would follow. I got nothing but trouble with New Vegas. no matter what I do I cant get NVSE working as the Wiki shows or even other mods. and that's another problem, all what I can find for Limo is always Skyrim and nothing else.

So I'm here to ask is there a way of running Fallout New Vegas mods properly with Limo or a much clear point of reference to follow?

Hey y'all!

Very general, hypothetical question, since I'm not even using Linux yet (project for next year).

I was thinking about buying Anno 117, and since I already have a few other Anno games on my damn Ubisoft account, I was just gonna stick to that and buy the new one there as well (even tho I use Steam for everything else really).

Now I'm considering switching to Linux, and from what I hear the general advice seems to be "buy games on Steam, usually makes running them less of a hassle". Buuut as far as I can tell, even if you buy Anno 117 through Steam, the game still forces you to run the Ubisoft launcher?

So my question is, does buying the game on Steam even make a difference in the case of this game? 🤔

Thanks for any input!

NTSYNC has been available in the Linux kernel for a while, but it's taking distributions a while to actually use it - Fedora Linux 44 will make it easier.

Issue: - Artifacting in Steam big picture mode

The issue is very wierd. I am seeing artifacting and glitching when using steam big picture mode. But when I switch to desktop mode no such issue is present. Please let me know what other details I can provide to help anyone who knows about this issue.

Hey all, I could do with a hand and to know some best practices for Running Skyrim SE with Mod Organiser 2 on Linux while running Pandora Behaviour Engine.

Im using Fedora and have Skyrim SE/AE installed normally through steam using Proton. I found a super cool tutorial over on youtube that allowed me to get Mod Organiser 2 running through proton and launch-able through steam itself but encountered a problem: Most mods that have animations require you to run either FNIS, Nemesis or Pandora (Pandora so far is the best one) which I of course cannot do because the .NET libraries that are required for this exe are not present in my Skyrim instal.

So my question is: Has anyone been able to get Pandora working in MO2 for Skyrim SE on Linux and if so, what is the best way to do this? Did you instal steam through bottles and import the .net framework into the bottle this way? Is the only way to create a windows VM (id rather not do this)?

Please keep in mind that Im a bit of a linux newbie so a solid play-by-play of any solutions would be appreciated. This is one of the final teething problems I have had switching over from Win11, so if I can get this resolved id feel pretty good about removing my Windows Partition for good.

Thanks in advance!

Pretty much, I have a bunch of free time to play games and I might as well use some of it to make ProtonDB reports, but specifically for untested games as the majority of the games I have are native or run well with plenty of reports

Has anyone else done this? Does it break anything? I've been setting it on a per game basis up until now using the steam launch arguments but I gather it can be set globally with environment variables. I can envision me maybe trying to launch a game and it not working and totally forgetting I set that environment variable and it being the cause. Or is that a non issue and im worried about nothing?
