PC turns off after about an hour of playing Albion Online
The temps of my CPU and GPU while playing it do not go over 60C. Other games work fine, for example I played Hogwarts Legacy for a few hours and nothing happened. I Use Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS. Any ideas?

How to install and run apps such as SIM Dashboard with your game?
I wanted to know if anyone has had any success on installing apps alongside their game and have it running successfully for their intended purposes.
I am looking to install SIM Dashboard for some of my Sim games such as X-Plane 12 and Assetto Corsa but I don't know how to go about it and was hoping the community can help me out.
If you have been successful at installing WeMod or trainers or something that collects data or mods the game you have launched through Steam, how did you go about doing it?
My copy of X-plane 12 was bought on Steam and it is located in ./steamapps/common/X-Plane 12.
I have thought about installing the Sim Dashboard app using Heroic Launcher, but will it work if I place the app in that folder?
I have thought maybe it won't work since it will generate a wine bottle inside that folder and I should install it inside the X-plane 12 prefix at .steamapps/compatdata/2014780/pfx/drive_c but, there is no .exe of X-plane in there, the Sim Dashboard won't collect any data to transmit right?
Basically I have no idea of what to do, maybe I also have no idea of what I am doing but would appreciate any help or guide on how to go about this.

I got my PXN V900 working on Linux!
Yeah, i think i solved the problem with xboxdrv, I'll get straight to the point.
At first,
sudo apt install xboxdrv
sudo apt install evtest
That's all you need, evtest and xboxdrv.
Next,
Plug your PXN V900 into your PC and type evtest to the Terminal
You will see your device listed as PXN V900. Look at the /dev/input/event number, for me it was 20 on me, it may be different on your PC.
You can quit with CTRL+C, you don't need it anymore.
Next,
sudo xboxdrv --evdev /dev/input/eventX --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_RX=x2,ABS_RY=y2,ABS_Z=lt,ABS_RZ=rt,ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y --evdev-keymap BTN_SOUTH=a,BTN_NORTH=y,BTN_WEST=x,BTN_EAST=b,BTN_TL=lb,BTN_TR=rb,BTN_SELECT=back,BTN_START=start
Type this command to your terminal and replace eventX with your device number, like event20
Press Enter and type your password
If you see this output text, it means it's working. Wait 1 or 2 minute and press some buttons on your steering wheel while waiting.
If you see some changing values like this, you can play your game without any problem now :) You have to do it again if you unplug the steering wheel, just look at your event number with evtest and copy-paste the command (don't forget to change the eventX)
It is my first post, sorry if i made any mistakes.

FF 7 Rebirth
Hey everyone! I am a linux newbie that could use a little advice about running FF7R. It is currently listed as silver on protondb, and when I look around the web, people tend to be split right down the middle on playablility. Half of the users say that the game is totally fine and they are playing on 4k, max settings, 9 billion fps. While the other half say that the game is a train wreck and literally unplayable. A lot of those comments are from 9 months to a year ago, so is anyone having success currently? I hope to play on 60fps 1080p with an AMD card and protonGE without the stuttering and crashing that some players report. Does that sound like something that would be doable with this game at this point?

[Linux/Steam Deck] It's Time for Change: Let's Enable BattlEye Support for Proton.
Dear Krafton and PUBG Corp,
I hope this message finds you well. As a passionate member of the gaming community, I feel compelled to reach out and express the growing frustration many of us are experiencing.
Since Valve launched the Steam Deck, we've seen such amazing potential for Linux gaming through Proton. BattlEye, the anti-cheat system you utilize, has had official support for Linux/Proton for quite some time now. Valve has clearly stated that enabling this support is simply a matter of communication—just an email or a quick toggle in the developer portal is all it takes.
So, why does PUBG remain inaccessible for Linux gamers?Games like Apex Legends, DayZ, and The Finals have already embraced this support and welcomed a new wave of players. Unfortunately, those of us on Linux looking to enjoy PUBG are left with a tough choice: maintain a Windows partition just for this game or walk away from what we love.
We’re not asking for a fully native Linux version or special treatment. We are simply asking you to:
- Recognize the Steam Deck and its growing community of Linux users.
- “Flip the switch” to enable BattlEye on Proton.
The technology is there. The anti-cheat is primed and ready. The operating system is capable. What’s holding us back is the choice to overlook a vibrant segment of the PC gaming market.
Please reconsider. We shouldn’t have to choose between our preferred OS and enjoying your game. Let’s make this happen—enable the support!

Wuchang grainy/pixelated graphics
Does anyone know why the graphics in Wuchang are so grainy/pixelated when running under proton? I've tried it on Windows and while moving the camera the hair looks good and there's no "grainy" effect on nearby textures, while on Linux it looks horrible..
I don't know how to make it look the same as it does under Windows, I've tried Proton-GE, EM and Cachy's version and there's no difference. The graphics settings are identical. No AMD sharpening on Windows or FSR upgrade from Adrenaline.
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5
Kernel Version: 6.18.5-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 10 × Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 225F
Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.1 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT

Fix for repeated Elden Ring (And probably other) slow down
I made a post recently asking for help with a periodic repeated slowdown while playing Elden Ring. There was a lot of good advice, and this didn't seem to be an issue when running under Wayland, but for anyone else experiencing the issue and clinging onto X11 I thought I'd share the culprit and very simple fix:
If you've got Steam Background Recording on it will show this little preview of your session on the games library page, and if you've been playing for long enough it will cycle through different thumbnails. When it does this, it caused the very regular slowdown I experienced. The fix is to simply close the Post-Game Summary, or go to a different page that doesn't have it.
There's probably other things that can cause it for the same reason, but I can happily stream HD video in a web browser on the other monitor, so this might be a special case.
Hopefully if someone else is having the issue they see this and it helps them.
EDIT: I went to report it and there's already a year old report for it. Unfortunately it didn't come up in my searches,

Nvidia frame gen without screen tearing on Cachyos on Wayland
Hi,
As title. In windows many games force disable vsync when frame gen is enabled requiring the user to force enable vsync in nvcp to resolve the screen tearing (I've never understood this, why would anyone want to play with tearing so I have no idea why games do this)
It seems similar in linux. I enable frame gen and then I get screen tearing as the game disables vsync. I've tried a few steam launch commands that claim to force some sort of vsync or similar but I can't say I've found any of them to be particularly smooth. Is there some sort of best practice combo of launch options to get the best experience with nvidia frame gen? Couldn't see this addressed in the CachyOS wiki.
Thanks!

New to Linux would like advice
I’ve been a Linux user for about an hour and I’m in love with it so far.
I installed Linux mint and I’m figuring it out but I’m wondering if there’s any tips that I should know from more “grizzled vets” out there. I have a NVIDIA gpu and I’ve seen some discussion about using the drivers that’s in a sense built by nvidia vs the one made by the people ( idk what else to call it). I believe I have the gaming stuff figured out I have twine installed idk if there’s anything else for games besides that but any tips would be amazing Ik this is like a vague post but even the littlest things would help a lot. Thank you all

Headset/headphones with good Linux support?
I switched to Linux some time ago, and now that my current headphones (Arctis Pro Wireless) are breaking down, I'm looking at getting a replacement with better Linux support.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a set that matches some or all of these criteria:
- Wireless
- Durable/adjustable (I have a large head)
- Good Linux compatibility (the SteelSeries set depended on proprietary Windows-only software to utilize it's surround sound drivers and some other features, which was really disappointing when I switched to Linux)
- Good sound quality - if I can get something with enhanced surround, etc., that would be fantastic.
- Closed back
Outside of that I'm not picky. It absolutely doesn't need to be a gaming headset; I do use it for communications but I can always buy a separate microphone.
Any recommendations greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Is Linux mint fine for gaming on 9060 XT nowadays?
I'm getting my new PC soon and I was wondering if the performance on this card is better now or if I should go for an arch based distro like Cachy or Endeavour. I would prefer to stick with Mint if possible since I've already tinkered with it a little bit but if the performance is not up to par with any of the other two I wouldn't mind switching.

Fixed: CounterStrike2 'RenderDeviceMgr001' crash on Fedora
I got this popup on launch:
FATAL ERROR: AppSystemDict: Error in Init() of interface 'RenderDeviceMgr001'!
Quick fix is to launch Steam from terminal and CS2 works perfectly.
I think it could be GNOME issue.
My Setup: Fedora 43 with GNOME 49, NVIDIA GPU, AMD CPU.
Anyone else? Permanent fixes? How can I make it work from the app icon/shortcut?
