aside from worse performance with 50 series GPUs, this is something that is annoying the shit out of me on all of my devices. Whenever I install a new application or game, usually through proton but not always, the windows will usually be extremely small and hard to read, and most of the time the only way to fix it is to manually open proton tricks, open the proton prefix, open wineCFG then raise the DPI under the graphics tab. It's incredibly annoying that I have to do this for almost any prefix that I either am trying to work with or open its own windows. I've done research to try to figure out what else I can do about this problem, such as a way to automatically set the prefix DPI to actually adapt to my display, but I haven't been able to find anything.

As a recent example, I wanted to revisit some MMOs I used to play as a kid this week, and almos all of them opened up a tiny ass windows either out of the game or game that were impossible to read on my 4K display. I even tried Bolt Launcher the native Linux launcher for Runescape and no matter what I try, whether manually setting 1.5x or 2x scaling in flat seal the game is literally unplayable because the icons and UI are too small, even when the game itself is fine in this case. I also wanted to try Fightcade and the scaling thing kind of worked, but the actual in emulator UI was still really small

I don't understand why this is happening. I know a little bit about maybe it have something to do with 11 window scaling or something but that's about all I know. I just want it to work. Is there anyone else here that experiences these problems? I've also tried to set a default DPI in heroic or Lutris but that doesn't seem to be a way to set that either that I've been able to find. Something that has consistently worked is setting the DPI for my overall wine prefix and then executing applications that way, but whenever I have more than a few wine/proton programs installed, the option disappears from the right click context menu and I'm not sure how to execute wine Windows program loader from the terminal or anything. I remember also trying to look into that but not finding anything.

I'm on cachy and endeavouros btw.

i have a PowerA Wired Gaming for Nintendo Switch - Spectra Motion Controller ,but it doesn't want to work on sober.i tried running it through steam and it straight up didn't take any input from the controller,while running it without steam barely worked with all the buttons being wrong.i know the controller isnt faulty because i tested it on windows and it worked properly without n issue.i have also tried many work arounds in various ways ,none of wich worked.i am just at a loss right now and dont know what to do.

Exactly that, I launch MH Rise in steam and after compiling the shaders, in the first loading screen before the main menu it just crashes.

I'm in ubuntu 24.04.3, with a i5 12500H with integrated Intel Xe graphics, the kernel driver in use is i195 and I also have the xe kernel module available.

I keep getting FPS stuttering in World of Warcraft Classic when I move the camera, more specifically when I let go of the mouse button and the cursor reappears on the screen (see video attached), the issue disappears when I use a smaller custom resolution for some reason (2560x1396).

Here are the details:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
• OS: CachyOS
• DE: KDE Plasma 6.5.3 (Wayland)
  • Adaptive sync: Automatic
  • Allow tearing in fullscreen windows: Yes
• Game launcher: Heroic Games Launcher
• Proton version: GE-Proton-latest (10-25)
• WoW settings:
  • Monitor: 1 (tried Primary and it doesn't make a difference)
  • Resolution: 2560x1440
  • Vsync: Enabled (tried disabled and it doesn't make a difference)
  • Graphics API: DX11 (tried DX12 and it doesn't make a difference)

I've looked around in this subreddit and others trying their suggestions (forcing software cursor, disabling adaptive sync...) but no luck. If your game runs fine please let me know if you use specific settings or tweaks.

I’ve been hacking on a small open-source side project called BEEP-8 and figured some of you on Linux might enjoy it.

The idea is: instead of shipping yet another native emulator, the whole “console” lives in your browser. Once the page has loaded you can play completely offline – no Wine, no Proton, no Steam, just static files in Firefox or Chromium.

What BEEP-8 is:

• A retro-style fantasy console that runs in any modern Linux browser
• CPU is an ARM-ish 4 MHz software core written in JavaScript
• Games and demos are written in C/C++ and cross-compiled to a compact ROM format
• Uses a tiny 16-colour PPU and simple sound chip emulation for that old console feel
• MIT-licensed, no ads, no tracking, no server component

Try it here (plays directly in the browser):
https://beep8.org

Source code, SDK and toolchain:
https://github.com/beep8/beep8-sdk

There are a few small games bundled already, for example:

• a one-dimensional Pac-Man variant that only uses a single line
• ApeSky, a vertical rope-swinging climber
• a simple Mario-like platformer and some graphics/sound demos

Why it might be interesting for Linux users:

• No installation or package manager involved, just open a URL
• Runs fine on low-end hardware and on Steam Deck in desktop mode
• Everything is open if you want to peek under the hood, write your own ROM, or even fork the whole thing

If anyone is curious about developing for it on Linux (toolchain setup, build scripts, self-hosting, etc.), I am happy to share details or example configs.

Anyone else having insane problems installing stuff as simple as that? Like holy shit is it ever so convoluted with the directories being everywhere.

And with so many different installations (GZDoom, Doomrunner) from Flatpak or pacman (paru) half the time I'm trying to find the right directories that are just missing, and why the hell is Flatpak redirecting my installation to some empty ass folder?!?

If anyone has got it to run proper, please tell me how?

I'm on Artix Linux, and recently I've been playing a lot of Arc Raiders. Tho it crashes pretty often, usually in the middle of a game. I don't know if this is a Linux issue, just an issue with Arc Raiders in general or whatever. And it cant be my hardware that's the problem, since i have a 9070XT and a 9800X3D chip. Does this happen to anybody else? Please help me.
