How to remove/block a gamepad? (Nobara Linux)
I originally posted this on the Nobara Reddit but sadly I got no answer that solves my problem.
The USB Dongle of my ASUS mouse is compatible with some Asus Game pad.
Sadly even if no Gamepad is detected it's still acts as an active game controller (same thing happens under Windows).
How to a remove/block this game pad without impeding the Mouse function?
Mouse: Asus ROG Pugio II
Detected Gamepad: Asus ROG Pugio II

Heya guys, its me again, just wanting to share my experience as a first timer
So idk if any of y’all remember me but I’m the one that made a post here a few days ago asking for recommendations that were beginner friendly, and I wanna thank y’all for all the suggestions! I’ll take these distros in consideration when I feel like distro hopping, anyway, I just wanna share my experience.
So I went with Linux Mint and it wasn’t as hard as I thought it’d be. I was worried that maybe nothing would change and that my craptop wouldn’t run at least faster but I was wrong, its been a few days and it runs significantly faster than it did when it had Windows 10. Now then it still lags from time to time but not to the degree of when it had Windows so that makes me happy.
Now then I did have some caveats with this, like the fact that storage was being mysteriously shrinking, I was getting frustrated until I found out the culprit… the damn timeshift, I disabled it, deleted every snapshot and got my 30GB of storage back, so for anyone starting to use Linux for the first time with a 64GB laptop, disable that crap immediately or it’ll eat your space like a hungry hippo. Oh yeah that’s the laptop I installed linux on, an HP Stream Laptop Model 14-DS0036NR 64GB so it’s no wonder why it ran abysmally when it had Windows 10.
The games ran great so far, I have yet to try any 3D game before made the year 2000 but 2D games (so far from the 90s) run fine, emulation runs even better than when it had Windows, so far its been a great experience, even for mods as intensive (for this laptop at least) as QCDE, it has been running fine for the most part.
I’ve shown my parents this, my mom was actually impressed with it, asking me questions about it as she didn’t know people can install a different OS, she didn’t even know what Linux was which is to be expected, she barely uses any PC. My dad was the same although not as expressively impressed but he was curious with all the questions he asked.
So far I’m loving this exploration of Linux and have been using this laptop far more than I did before, I haven’t been this excited about tech as I did when the Steam Deck was first announced years ago and now the Steam Machine, that’s actually what got me to install a Linux distro in the first place, the reveal of the Steam Machine. Anyway, yeah this is my experience with Linux Mint so far, again thank y’all for the suggestions of the other distros.

Please help! Balatro won't open after mod crash.
I tried modding balatro, it worked at first until I got a crash, I pressed R to restart the game as it said, but it wouldn't restart, so I stopped the game, now I tried reverting everything, doing anything I could to get the game working, yet it wont work.
More details:
I deleted version.dll and love.dll
I deleted the mods folder and the profile I played the mods on.
I set my game launch options to %command%
I tried verifying game integrity.
I have a laptop with windows that also has balatro installed, yet I don't know how to transfer the files from it to my main pc as the files are somewhat different due to being 2 different OSes.
I'm using proton 10.0-3, on linux mint 22.1
I don't want to lose my profile number 1.

Still pretty green to Linux gaming. Anything a must-download for it outside of the obvious? I use Bazzite on a gaming desktop.
Pretty much the title. Obviously Steam and Lutris comes packaged with my distro, and I’ve snagged Discord. Anything else needed to hit the ground running?

I can't play games using proton, I can't seem to get any games working on bazzite using proton. I can play some games though wine 10.16 staging-amd64-wow64-x86_64 but nothing through proton i reinstalled all my games and tried running them again but they just freeze after some time and some don't start at all.

Steam doesn't display while updating?
So, This is odd and I'm wanting to know if it's just me.
But while steam is updating there is no UI to say this, it just does it's thing in the background and then pops up like the Spanish inquisition when it's done.
Running Fedora 43 with KDE.

G920 Driving Force steering whell not picked up by oversteer
It mentions being a supported model in the built in kernal. But it's not picking it up. I installed by the AUR and it's a X box steering wheel but works on PC otherwise. I am using the zen kernal if that affects anything.

Monster Hunter Wilds has a strange shading bug on Nvidia
Hi, I'm in the middle of making the switch to Linux from Win11! In the process I thought I'd test MHWilds on Linux (running Kubuntu 25.10). I have been noticing a peculiar graphical artefact that I haven't seen many people specifically report on. First screenshot running on Win11 (looking fine), second screenshot running on Kubuntu where bodies of water or oil look unshaded. No launch options I've tried have fixed it so far, so its kindof got me stumped. Does anyone have any ideas?
Running on Nvidia driver 580.95.05
Launch options:/WineDetectionEnabled:False ; PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 gamemoderun %command%

Releasing my first free game on Steam with native Linux support! :)
It's a puzzle game that's about an hour long but I think it has a really nice and unique story. Thanks for everyone who's interested! :)

Locked at 1080p in fullscreen
I've recently installed ArchLinux on my system and when I play Rocket League in fullscreen, the resolution cannot go higher than 1920x1080p in the dropdown (although my monitor) is 2560x1440p. If I select borderless, then I can choose 2560x1440p, however I would like to not have to do that considering it adds input lag.
I use Sway and I made sure that my monitor's resolution is 2560x1440p in the config file.
Here's my specs if it helps :
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
64GB DDR5 ram
Radeon 7900XTX

Are there options for VR desktops / window management with SteamVR?
I used to use apps like Bigscreen VR to see my desktop and position windows and such in virtual space when I ran Windows and a HTC Vive Pro VR headset. Does such an app exist for Linux?
My hunch is no due to the nightmare of competing DEs and window managers and things but I would love to be proved wrong

Monster Hunter Wilds with Nvidia GPU?

Wireless Gaming Headset
Any recommendations in the $80-$130 range?Looking for a new gaming headset, mostly for use in FPS multiplayer games and Discord. Looking at SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3XW but tough to find any info on Linux compatibility, or is that even an issues with headsets?

Bazzite or CachyOS?
I would like to turn a SFF PC I have to a “steam machine” and I am trying to decide what version of Linux to put on it. I have zero experience with Linux so would like something easy to setup and use. The PC is a HP Engage Flex Pro, i7-8700, 32GB DDR4, RTX 3050 with a 4TB NVMe and 1TB HDD. It currently has Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC but from what I have been hearing online, Linux should give me slightly better performance with a more seamless gaming experience when coupled with SteamOS. I also have a Steam Deck that I use docked, so I would love to mimic the Steam Deck experience as much as possible.

No audio on WiVRn on Bazzite
Video and VR work fine, but there's no sound. The PC is basically a headless Sunshine host and when I enter a moonlight session I can hear the audio. What can I do?

Precisely synchronous stuttering after exactly 20-22 seconds.
https://reddit.com/link/1oyrt33/video/bf4s18xhnn1g1/player
When I'm launching witcher 3, after loading into the game, every time, exactly after around 20-22 seconds, the frametime goes crazy and it starts stuttering really bad (look at the frametime graph, but in the end you can see to the naked eye this massive stuttering when I move the camera).
When I launch it with gamescope, it doesn't do that stutter.
Why is it happening?
GPU: RX9060XT 16GB
