thinking of switching from windows to linux
I wanna switch from using windows to using linux, either ubuntu or mint. I'll mostly be focusing on gaming. Will i have major compatibility issues with games and programs (mainly things like discord, roblox, steam and older games like doom and morrowind), and if so, is there a way to work around them?
thanks in advance.

Games wont start on HGL, Lutris with Code 256
I am using Zorin OS 18 and do occassionally playing games on PC. Im more console gamer. However, for getting used on Linux its also necessary to play games.....also older Games. I tried Gothic 1 and 2 and some other Games, that are cracked. I can simply add them to the HGL, but when i click on "start" it just says "getting started" but it disappears in a second and nothing happens. This happens with ALL games, that i added there.
I tested HGL on Windows too, just to be sure.....and there its the same Problem.
On Windows i usually used Daemon Tools or a similar program for installing offline games. When i try to install Gothic "natively" i guess i need to write down the path, that it should be installed on Linux. On default, there is the Windows Install path with C.
With Lutris.....i only got Gothic 1 succesfully added AND playable. Of al the games its the only one, that didnt end up with Code 256.
I tried this Problem solution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK2l7v8M6pU
and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P2OumkxH6E
Nothing worked.
i also installed Steam, because i wanted to test my digitally purchased games. I just tested Blasphemous 1 and 2 and both worked fine. Well, atleast i got to the main menu, but thats already more, than what was achieved with the other 2 launchers. After all, i wanted to know, if the Games on Steam would start at all. I dont know, how they would/will perform.
My hardware is:
CPU: Ryzen 5 7500F
GPU: Radeon RX 9060XT
32GB Ram
If you need more information, let me know.

FiveM on Linux
Heyo! I used to use a lot of Linux before and got discouraged by some issues with the distro I enjoyed. My interest is peaked once again, but I've added a few games to my rotation that don't have great Linux support. The biggest one is FiveM seeming not having any support and there doesn't seem to be any solutions. I have admittedly done very surface level googling (headlines and titles). But has anyone found a way to successfully play FiveM servers on Linux? Or is this just a VM/ dual boot situation? Any feedback is appreciated! Even if it's just to tell me to go back to Google lmao

Recently swapped to Linux Fedora, Marvel Rivals only shows a white screen now.
I recently switched from Linux Mint to Fedora, wanting to try it out, and have overwritten on my linux mint drive so I had to reinstall all my games. I installed Marvel Rivals and everytime I load it up, the launcher and game only show white, previously working on Linux Mint. I've tried testing different protons and launch options and even reinstalled and verified the files.
Is this a common issue or have I done something wrong?

Sims 4 on Arch Linux?
This question has probably been asked before so sorry in advance, but is it possible to play Sims 4 on Linux? I know that EA games such as Battlefield you can’t for some reason, but I wasn’t sure about Sims, because it obviously doesn’t have an anticheat. I don’t need a whole guide on how to do it, literally just confirmation of whether it’s possible or not.

it seems like the geforce now app will only support ubuntu
Wine 11.0
Can Gnome still lead to more problems/less FPS on games compared to KDE?
Just wondering, I remember reading that, for gaming, KDE Plasma is the way to go as, probably mostly due to Steam OS, its a lot better optimized for gaming. Is this still a thing these days? Since Im planning to upgrade Fedora 42 to 43 Im going for a fresh install and would like to switch to Gnome. Its mostly a gaming PC though, so Id rather not end up having to troubleshoot more due to some quirks Gnome may still have.

What is going on here
Mini pc running 7840hs with 32gigs ddr5. cores 11 and 13 spike to 100. gpu on paper 2700mhz but it’s stuck at 1600 and microstutters with anything more than 69% push. SteamOS main. I will scratch it and go to Bazzite but i want to know WHY this is happening. What’s going on under the hood? Is there a way to fix anything?

Lenovo Legion 5 15IAX10 ultra 7 w/ 5060 (2025) linux gaming?
Hi all,
Has anyone tried the current legion 5 ultra 7 w/ RTX 5060 for linux and gaming? I was wondering what kind of results you all had, how the battery life was for general use and how it worked for gaming? I know it’s newer so not sure how support is including if the dGPU can be put to sleep when doing general tasks for better battery life.

8bitdo ultimate 2c dinput nightmare
Hello, I'm looking for some help here.
I've got 8bitdo ultimate 2c wireless controller (one that can work with Bluetooth, wired and 2.4 dongle)
And I'm trying to set it up with USB dongle with dinput mode (to be able to use r4/l4 buttons in bazzite and steamos)
At first, i updated the firmware for controller and dongle using windows app,
Then i connected it to my bazzite box, and discovered it's in xinput mode and i can't map extra buttons freely.
I read a bit and found out that for those to work, i need dinput mode, so i checked every redsith thread, manual and manufacturer faq to read how to switch to dinput.
Using home + b was mentioned multiple times but it did not work for me, no matter if I pressed it with controller turned on, off, hold for 8 sec etc.
Its always ended up as xinput controller.
Then i checked with Bluetooth and i noticed that its working as dinput out of the box with r4/l4 registered and mappable.
Then i went back to 2.4, made more tests etc. Only to discover, that dongle firmware has issue and i had to revert it to V1.0 for switching to work.
At this moment, i can freely switch to xinput or dinput using home + x/b until controller powers off, and then again home + x/b until controller powers on - nice.
But 2.4 dinput is different than Bluetooth dinput.
Bluetooth have option to fully map extra buttons (just like on steam deck or with dualsense touchpad) but for 2.4 it is not possible to map those per game BUT they are working - when i choose to setup controller i need to map each button, and when i, for example choose to map l4 to "select" i can now use it as select (physical select button isn't doing anything now)
But I don't want to use them like that, i want to be able to use them as separate button and be able to attach macro or different keys to it, just like on steamdeck or other controllers of those type.
What can I do to make it work?
I read that its due to r4/l4 being mapped with "square" button, but i can't do anything to "reset" it using method described online (like "hold l4 and press square" i tried it and it doesn't produce any output.)
What else can I do to make it work?
Steam (both on bazzite and steamos) displays this pad as generic dinput controller and when choosing layout calls it "-".
Is it the experience I'm going to get? Or maybe there is something not documented that I'm missing here.

Heroic not detecting Dualshock 4
I've tried most things and I don't know what to do. I've tried launching through Steam, installing ds4drv (the controller works just fine with it), using the SteamVirtualGamepadInfo environment variable; I just can't get it to work with Heroic. I'm new to linux so maybe I'm just dumb.
Distro is Linux Mint (inside Flatpak) Version 22.3 Zena
Heroic: 2.18.1 "Waterfall Beard" Jorul / Legendary: 0.20.37 Exit 17 (Heroic) / Gogdl: 1.1.2 / Comet: comet 0.2.0 / Nile: 1.1.2 Will A. Zeppeli
