It seems nothing is safe from bogus websites and scams, with someone setting up a fake website for Proton-GE / GE-Proton.

I'm guessing it's possible but what I wanted to know would this proved the same/similar type of security that comes with virtual machines. If my laptop that I use everyday, streams into my personal pc I only use for gaming on windows.

So i recently bought a Xbox x controller and have been trying to connect it to my PC running Debian 12 under KDE plasma. I have tried everything that i could find online but nothing seems to work.

I tried to pair it via Bluetooth by powering the controller on and the holding down the sync button. The light on my controller blinks fast also it shows up on my Blue-man but after trying to connect to it nothing happens. I have tried connecting it with a type c cable which works. I also have a 8BitDo controller which works with Bluetooth no issues. I tried reinstalling the Bluetooth drivers, then tried installing xpadneo as well as xpad but nothing works.

For my Bluetooth device i am using a TP-link UB500.

This is the log from my - systemctl status bluetooth

Hello, Everyone!

I have seen in a couple of places that the Valve Index is compatible with linux and even some videos testing a couple of games (the most recent one being probably 2 years old)...

However, I've seen a lot of threads and comments saying that VR in linux is generally buggy and unstable, I would like to see someone (if possible) sharing their full experience with an Index Valve using linux... Is it buggy only with SteamVR or is it buggy in general?

I have a HP Reverb G2 and use it with my windows partition in my dual booted system (Mint being my main partition for everything else), but that's the problem, I literally only have windows for VR because every other thing I've tried has ended up working in Mint (either old or new).

I was thinking of ditching windows forever and selling my HP Reverb because that's the thing, I literally only have windows for the VR and I really don't like the idea that much, so, I was wondering, is it worth it to buy an Index and play all my VR games there? Is it worth the investment so I would have a semi-stable performance? (I have a Gigabyte RX 5700 GPU and a Ryzen 9 3900x CPU, and 32GB of Ram).

I don't have a lot of games on VR and I play like every 2 weeks or so but I would like to see most of these games working without the game randomly crashing at the very least: Fallout 4, Skyrim, No man's sky, All In One Sports, Borderlands 2, Hellblade, Synth Riders, Rez Infinite, Half Life: Alyx...

Please, let me know.... Thanks!

I've installed wine on Ubuntu 22.04, then installed halo Custom Edition the old fashioned way and I got a segmentation fault at launch. It was running fine on Ubuntu 18.04, but I had to update cause reasons.. Does anyone know what could I do?

If you have to ask if a distribution can be trusted - it cannot be trusted. Simple as that. There has been a recent influx of these posts, and it is difficult to impossible to tell if they are malicious in nature. I'm sure vets will overlook / downvote these threads (I know I do) but the reality is that there are many easily manipulated users on here that will somehow walk into distributions like Nobara or Garuda expecting the level of stability and support Windows provides, and getting turned off by Linux as a whole.

This is almost reminiscent of a decade ago when there were a lot of "kids" picking up Kali and trying to use it as a daily driver without having any understanding of what Kali actually is. I am only creating this thread because such trends have had long term negative impacts on the community as a whole.

If you have no idea what you are doing there are lots of very good resources out there to learn Linux but picking up a "gamer distro" is not the option. My suggestion? Try a beginner friendly distribution like Mint, to get used to Linux as a whole. I only suggest Mint here because in my experience it seems to be the most inoffensive but fully featured distribution out there.

Long story short... I dual boot Windows and Mint but I've started to get curious what actually happens with my GPU drivers (rtx 3080) - as I'm using one driver version on Windows, and another on Mint. This is gonna sound stupid, but couldn't that brick the GPU or cause issues with it because now there are 2 different drivers on the same GPU? Like, someone explain to me how that actually works.

Is there any chance to make it work outside the steam ver? Since the files are basically the same, but I just can't seem to make it work properly, when I open the game it just shows a black window, I tried via lutris/bottles with the same results on both.

PD: Do not tell me “just use the steam” pls is not the point of the post. 😭

sudo systemctl reboot --firmware-setup

YOU'RE WELCOME.

I just had to help family from across the country get into their BIOS to turn on virtualisation for legit reasons... couldn't get in without this. Worked instantly on their, and even my own computer.

But what really blows me away is how low-key this knowledge is.

I started using it today, and it's probably the easiest distro to use for gaming.

I just recently installed Undertale, and it hurts to use the arrow keys. I would love to switch to WASD keybinds.

Judging from the discord server, your best bet is to patch the game on a Windows PC / VM, pass the patched files to your Linux pc and launch the game with the side 7 launcher.

Problem is, no one has gotten the side 7 launcher working with Proton yet, at least on the server. Did anyone here got it running?

Hello, I am trying to run Dark Souls Remastered thorough steam & proton. But after running a while, suddenly the video stops rendering. The game continues in the background after a short pause, I can even hear the sounds in the game when I attack or move. But the video stops working and doesn't work anymore. Sometimes this happens after playing 10-20 minutes but sometimes it happens after 1-2 minute. This went to the peak when fighting Taurus demon(the 2nd boss in the game). There hasn't been a single time the video hasn't crashed.

Please can anyone help me regarding this?

P.S I am running it using proton experimental and proton 9.0(Beta). I have tried earlier proton versions but they can't even start the program

ever since 2 or 3 weeks ago, i have had nonstop problems with the game hard crashing and forcing the computer to reboot back to the login screen. i've been using linux for about 3 months now and had 0 problems with the game until about 2 or 3 weeks ago, particulary the middle of march in 2024. i have tried everything i can think of and i'll put an extensive list below of what i have tried with little to no success so far along with my system specs:

• AMD Ryzen™ 7 3700X × 16 Processor
• AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 XT GPU
• 32 GB DDR4 RAM
• 1 TB SSD(this is where the game and system are currently installed)
• 2 2 TB Hard Drives
• Ubuntu 23.10 Mantic Minotaur Distribution
• 64 Bit OS Type
• Gnome Version 45.2
• Wayland Windowing System
• Kernel 6.8.7 generic

​

Below is a list of things i have tried:

• Uninstalled and did a clean install of the game at least 5 times across my different drives
• Updated the drivers
• Installed and updated the MESA PPA drivers
• purged the MESA PPA completly and did a clean install
• updated the kernel from 6.8.5 generic to 6.8.7 generic
• updated the ubuntu version from 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish to 23.10 Mantic Minotaur
• installed CoreCtrl and set GPU settings to High Performance
• updated the Power_DPM_performance settings systemd file from auto to High
• tinkered with the gdm_password system file to change the line "auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so" to "auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so only_if=gdm"
• verified the game files
• changed launch settings to use proton experimental, then proton ge 9.2, then set launch options to force the use of --d3d11, then back to experimental
• set graphical settings to low
• checked PSU settings to make sure it wasn't a power supply issue

previously i had a radeon rx 580 graphics card and while it could only play at low settings, it never crashed once. it wasn't until i installed the 5700 XT i got online that these problems started happening coincidentally. i don't mind switching back to the 580 for the time being if i absolutely have to, but i at least want to make sure i could fix this while using the 5700 XT since democracy calls for better graphics :D

there is more that i did but i am forgetting at the moment. if anyone has any idea what i should do next to stop the game from hard crashing constantly or at the very least tell me that you are experiencing similar problems just to validate to myself that i am not the only one experiencing this crap, then please let me know. i want to play this game again and play it with my brother without constant crashing. thank you for your time in advance!

Specs; CPU 3600x GPU 7600xt

Over the past couple of months I've tried running first Bazzite, which was a great experience until an update introduced brutal dualsense controller instability that locks the controller and prevented games from exiting cleanly or the controllers from reconnecting until a system restart.

A month ago I switched over to Nobara, it ran super well right away and a few small issues bazzite had (mangohud not picking up my GPU stats) and some other minor things.

Then last night an update introduced dualsense instability that locks up the controller and prevents the games from exiting cleanly.

I already lost my 55 hour dark souls playthrough to this. I'm 55 hours into elden ring and I just want a distro that won't freeze up my controller lock up my game and corrupt my save file because an update is a bit too bleeding edge.

I've been considering holoIso but I don't have telegram to access their support so I've been on the fence. I am open to other suggestions though, I just want a safe reliable SteamOS interface system to run on my HTPC.

Thanks fellow linux gaming enthusiasts!@
