This isn't a guide or a request for help, I don't think there is much to do.

I very recently jumped to gaming on Linux. I was pretty excited about, got cachyOS, set everything up and started playing. Most games I've tried so far have been great, but Silent Hill F came along and kind of ruined the fun.

The game runs terribly for me in Linux and in the same machine it runs buttery smooth in Windows 11.

My specs:

i7-14700KF @ 3.40 GHz AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT (16 GB) 64 GB RAM DDR5 4TB SSD

In Windows 11 I am maxing the game (including Lumen options) with FSR at Quality and I am getting no less than 95 FPS. I am also NOT using the FidelityFx Engine.ini mod.

In CachyOS I am getting 30-40 with dips to 20-25 with shadows and shaders in medium, Lumen in high and balanced FSR. I also added the FidelityFx Engine.ini (I did it later, so it's not causing the issue), no real improvement whatsoever. Also tried with various forced compatibility modes for Proton, including Experimental, no improvements either. I've tried running the game both from an NTFS-3G partition and a native BTRFS, no impact in performance. Also, game takes like 30 seconds to boot in Linux vs an immediate boot in Windows.

I expected minor performance drops for some games, but this is massive, it's literally less than half the FPS I get in Windows. At this point, I don't think I can drop Windows entirely.

so on fedora 43 kde final fantasy is the only game that my 8bitdo ultimate 2c wont work on. any other game in my steam library the controller works great. i spent all night trying to get it to work on ff vii

Ever since I switched to Linux from Windows 10 I've had a problem with using a controller and playing games on Steam. I have an Xbox One controller that I use wired and a Gulikit KK3 Max I use with a 2.4ghz dongle. Both connect to my computer and play games just fine.

Except if I press a key on the keyboard while a Steam game is running. Then Steam seems to forget my controller is my input method and defaults to M + KB. If I close the game and restart it, it'll recognize my controller.

I've disabled Steam Input both globally and on a per-game basis. I've disabled Steam Input in the Desktop Layout options. I've tried making sure the usb's don't get powered down. I've tried setting launch options on a per-game basis like this:

SDL_JOYSTICK_DISABLE_UDEV=1 SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_IGNORE_DEVICES=mouse,keyboard %command%

Nothing has fixed this problem. Any help would be super appreciated. Thank you!

Hey all,

Been checking out the Linux ecosystem and I started with Fedora KDE and also testing Mint on the side. While I really like Fedora, I've actually found that Unity3D engine which I use on Windows has a weird graphics bug that genuinely bothers me but it's non exsitent in Mint.

I did a lot of digging and it turns out to be a Wayland thing so in theory any DE running X11 should not have this issue. I figured maybe I can just switch to Mint then but I do like playing some games in HDR which to my understanding requires Wayland.

Owning a Steam Deck I do know that its KDE desktop runs X11 but you can still run games in HDR on game mode which is running a gamescope session so it got me wondering if this is something that Gamescope can do for any DE on Linux or is this special to the Steam Deck.

My only assumption as to why the Steam Deck can do HDR is that the gamescope session is actually completely standalone so they're able to implement it in a way that lets them use HDR meaning that the average person on X11 wouldn't be able to get HDR via Gamescope.

Ultimately I think I'd have a better chance of switching to Linux if I'm able to get my actual workflow to work as good as it does on Windows even if it comes at the sacrafice of HDR games but I thought I'd ask anyways. To my understanding Wayland should be coming soon to Mint anyways and hopefully by then the engineers over at Unity also address this since I'm pretty sure the next Ubuntu LTS (the only version of Linux they officially support) will be Wayland only

Arch, gnome, rtx4070, wayland, warthunder having a really low performance on linux compared to windows (300 fps on win vs ~100 on linux) tried running it through proton experimental and hotfix, when loading into the match i get the errors shown on the screenshot (strangely game still works untill you close the errors (also it won't react to the mouse movements while in this state)).

So I have an NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3050, about 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, an AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega graphics(8CPU) 3.7Ghz.

I've been becoming more conscious of Microsoft crap, and because I really only know how to maintain things once it's set up I lack zero skill in this manner...

How well would it work with games like Civ 3? civ IV? and older C&C games, what would I need to do to prepare it for them if it exists?

I've checked through the "get started, but due to me not being that well intuned with hardware anymore(last time i would tell you what was what, was in like, 1999-2005, lol..)

I'm using CachyOS with an Nvidia 5070 Ti and I'm experiencing random freezes in my games. The audio continues to play, but the image stays frozen until I press the Super key; then, the game resumes working normally.

​Has anyone else encountered this issue? I suspect it might be a driver-related bug.

Invasive nature aside, doesn't this destroy the argument that community servers of old were as effective a way to combat cheaters? Are the hosts of these servers stupid or lazy, or does it objectively help them more effectively stop cheaters?

Hello,

I'm planning to repurpose my relatively old gaming PC (i7-6700 & GTX1070) into a server running HA, Frigate, ARRs, etc. I'm considering keeping the GPU for Frigate for faster inference times and was wondering whether I could still game on the machine from time-to-time. Nothing fancy - most probably games that are available on Steam and not too demanding (e.g. AoE2:DE, WoT).

The server this is supposed to be replacing is running on vanilla Debian and the services are set up with Docker. I'm open to other distros/solutions, if they offer a superior outcome, but the current plan is to shift everything over, as is.

The question is - can I run Steam games without "polluting" the host OS and without massive performance hits? Dual booting is obviously out of the question. The machine will continue to sit on/around my desk and will have a screen available at all times.

I have an old gaming pc, nothing cutting edge, but decent enough to play most games. It had linux mint installed on it. I haven't used it in about 5 years, because my apartment was pretty small, and honestly it was a bit of a hassle to use it, so I ended up using my laptop more often instead.

Now, I moved into a bigger place, and I am setting it back up. It needs a format because of a Lil data rot, and I figured its the perfect opportunity to try some new distros and fiddle around with remote desktop solutions.

I basically want it to park off in my office most of the time, and I want to use the laptop to remote into it to game on the tv in a different room once in a while.

I've read up on sunshine/moonlight, but i was curious if anyone else has more experience doing something similar and wouldn't mind sharing some information

Bonjour à tous,

J'essaie de changer la langue de Stellaris dans Lutris (je n'ai pas installé le lanceur Paradx).

Je sais qu'il faut appliquer le paramètre « l_french » au lancement (sous Windows, il suffit de l'ajouter aux propriétés du raccourci), mais je ne trouve pas comment faire la même chose dans Lutris.

Je pointe vers stellaris.exe, mais comment ajouter mon paramètre ? (J'ai essayé « l_french » et « -l_french » dans les arguments, mais ça ne fonctionne pas, le jeu reste en anglais).

j'ai beau avoir cherché longtemps... rien

Quelqu'un pourrait-il m'aider ?

https://blazingrex.itch.io/syncanchor I've been using this app call Sync Anchor for a while now and i think its the best file transfer app i've used on linux at least compared to what i've used. Apparently it transfers files faster than sending the file to a server and is good for professionals since it uses P2P.

Is there any other alternatives i can use because this one is only for linux and can't send from linux to windows?

Hi everyone! I'd like to play a game. Arknights: Enfield, on my PC with Arch Linux (KDE Plasma on Wayland) But the game won't launch. As far as I understand, there's a problem with the anti-cheat which is why the game won't launch. I've tried launching it through Steam, Port Proton and Heroic the game launched only once through Heroic But after trying the second time, the game doesn't launch. So, I found out that the game works fine after dwproton however, downloading from the site or through wget They either give an error or the estimated time is a month. I'm from Russia, but even a VPN doesn't help. Are there any mirrors dwproton or a way to launch games without it
