Fill your bag up with jewels in the FUNgeon Crawlers Humble Bundle which has some interesting looking loot inside to grab.

I like that it comes with everything preinstalled for gaming, but also I have access to a full desktop when needed.

I don't see why this sort of desktop would be discouraged as a daily driver for any laptop or gaming PC?

what am i missing here?

I currently really want to play Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 with my friends but current have no clue on how to go about fixing the EA Launcher from bugging out on my pc. I have used Proton 7, 8, and soon gonna try 9. Does anyone have a way of fixing this issue?

Linux distros are needed more than ever for older computers.

I gave my previous PC in the early 2010s (i3 560, 4 GB RAM, hdd, gtx 660) to my dad. It has Windows 7 and it can run some old games, emulators and movies but for years it is not suitable for Internet navigation and security. Though a gtx 660 is still considered a good gpu for 720/1080 resolution games with a better cpu, more ram and low-mid settings. I wanted to install Linux there but was always putting it on hold.

My nephew was playing New Super Mario Bros on Cemu but after watching yt videos, he told me he wanted the Deluxe version.

Only problem : it is a Switch exclusive and all Switch emulators run on Windows 10. On a system with just 4 GB, Windows 10 is out of the question and if you add the non-ssd storage, even more so. I did not even think it could run Switch games.

So I decided to install Mint alongside the existing W7 partition, mainly so my dad could have a modern software PC.

It takes a while for the OS to boot on an old hdd and just 4 GB RAM, around the same time as Windows 7, but at least you can run Chrome, provided not many tabs are opened.

Games like Stumble Guys crawled on Windows 7 but here with the modern browser support, game is smooth and playable.

But the thing I did not expect was that Switch emulation works too! Super Mario Deluxe runs with just 4 GB at full 60 fps (52-55 at some castles with more gfx) and no crashes in over 1 hour of play. Provided you find and run Yuzu's last released Appimage version (4176). I tried running the game on Ryujinx and emulator would freeze and crash.

Well this is quite a surprise. Men of War II from Best Way and Fulqrum Publishing releases on May 15th and it will have Native Linux support too.

For a reason I can't install Proton 9 on my openSUSE Tumbleweed PC. It says it's only available for Linux/Steam OS, but I am on Linux:

Install button is great out

If I select Proton 9 for any game and launch it, it says Downloading (0%) but stays there, doesn't download anything and doesn't show in the download section on Steam.

All other Proton version work fine. No issues.

(I use the stable Steam client, openSUSE repo, not Flatpak)

Hey I'm looking for a distro/DE where games won't have issues with compositing. Previously on old pc I use Ubuntu XFCE and I had to have a script where if steam is running disable compositing so games would run properly. Is there a distro where compositing doesn't need to be disabled and fullscreen disable option actually works (xfce it doesn't). Preferably morel lightweight DE as system specs will be weak.

Hi everyone,

As a steam deck user, i'd love to use my T300 RS to play sirmacing games from my steam deck (I don't have a PC so my only option to play AMS2 or AC is my steam deck docked to my TV)

Does someone already succeed in making the wheel work ?

Thanks for your help !

Another popular survivor-like roguelite has launched, with Nordic Ashes: Survivors of Ragnarok leaving Early Access to the big 1.0.

Hello! When I try to run Predecessor on Steam with proton I get the following error:

I tried with Proton experimental, 9 and 8, I'm getting this error with any of them (6 and bellow doesn't even launch the game). This error started happening today, does anybody know how to fix this?

Using the MESA drivers 24.0.6-2

specs:

The battle continues! The fallout is ongoing from the legal battle between Nintendo and yuzu that saw the yuzu team fold.

I've been using Linux for almost 7 years now, and I've seen many things evolve. Proton, Wayland, VRR, NVK, Explicit Sync (well, still have to see that). But there's one pretty major issue I have with Linux and I can't understand how it's not fixed yet is scaling on my 2560x1600 screen with a bottom 3840x1100 screen.

I'm on Garuda with KDE Plasma and I have two options. Apps apply scaling themselves or the system scales the apps. Of course, I have to use the zoom option to have proper scaling in the OS. Here's the thing, though.

If apps apply scaling themselves, Steam and all games launch small and Mangohud reports a resolution of 3840 x 2400 which I don't even know where it finds or how to fix.

If the system applies the scaling on Wayland, and this is pretty important imo cause the previous case may be a weirdity of my system. the resolution of games gets to something like 1701x942 or something which is much less than my screen.

The best solution I've found is setting the DPI to 144 in the Wineprefix of the game I wanna play and let the app scale itself. Another solution is using Wine Wayland but the DPI still need to be set to 144 otherwise the image goes out fo the screen.

The easiest option of course is to use Gamescope and set game and output resolutions but I'm on Nvidia and Gamescope is a little hit or miss, especially with HDR enabled.

So, what is going on? Wayland with zoom cannot be fixed? This is such a basic and weird issue.

I am having a problem with steam that I can't find a way to fix, I was wondering if there was an easy way to uninstall steam without uninstalling the downloaded games?
