As the title says.

When I load up CS2, the audio will work fine. But for some reason, it will randomly cut out after roughly 5 mins (sometimes it doesn't even work when I first load up the game) and not come back. Can't seem to work out why.

I have tried messing with audio settings in game and selecting any and all output devices. I have tried verifying files and I've even deleted and reinstalled. (I think Ubuntu uses pipewire so) I've tried the below commands:

1. -sdlaudiodriver pipewire

2. sdl_audiodriver=pipewire

3. %command% -sdlaudiodriver pipewire

Nothing fixes this audio cutting off randomly. Any suggestions?

Has anyone else been having a tough time with battle.net through Faugus?

I've been running into an issue where bnet refuses to run in a window, when I do window bnet and click off it fullscreens automatically. When it is windowed the UI doesn't scale, it displays as if it's fullscreen, and the button locations are off. To make this clear, the buttons are in the correct place IE: Home, Games, Shop, however you have to search with your mouse to find the part of the button that's intractable.

Games are running fine, so it's a minor inconvenience but it started happening a couple days ago.

I used golang (ebiten engine) to make this game. Was a joy to make it, and very easy to port to windows and mac as well (i used github actions to port to mac and worked right away).

About the game, uses real market data to create the levels, and player can be right side up the candlesticks to bet that goes up, and upside down to bet it goes down. While there are also items and enemies crossing your line. Try it out, I can't guarantee you never played something like it.

You can try it here (steam): https://store.steampowered.com/app/4503180/TapeSurfer/

Best wishes linux community!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a quick "peer review" or security assessment of a small GitHub repository I was planning to use: https://github.com/mPyKen/kb2xbox

Context: I wanted to play a local co-op game (Brotato) with a friend on CachyOS (Arch-based). Since I lacked a second controller at the time, I looked for a tool to emulate an Xbox controller via keyboard.

My Concerns: To work, this Python script requires:

1. sudo privileges to access /dev/uinput and raw keyboard events via libevdev.
2. Adding the user to the input group.

Technically, any script that intercepts raw keyboard events with root privileges has the potential to act as a keylogger. Since this repository is very small and doesn't have many stars or contributors, I’m hesitant.

What I've done so far:

• I’ve looked at the kb2xbox.py file. I didn't see any obvious socket or requests imports, which is good, but I'm not a Python security expert.
• I’ve since reverted to a system snapshot to be safe and found a Nintendo Switch controller that worked out of the box with Cachy instead. (I am new to Linux so not 100% if I am safe now with the snapshot?!)

Questions for the community:

Can someone with more experience in Python/Linux input plumbing take a quick look at the code? Is there anything suspicious (data exfiltration, persistent backdoors, etc.)?

I'm posting this to make sure I didn't compromise my system before I reverted the snapshot, and to help others who might find this tool.

Thanks for your time!

I'm currently struggling to get my DualSense controller working with Proton 10 or 11.

The only way to get it to work is PROTON_DISABLE_HIDRAW=1 which then makes the DualSense controller work through Steam Input.

Which is fine for games that do not natively support the controller but those that do are obviously missing out on the correct glyphs and sometimes features like adaptive triggers and so on.

The weird thing is that Proton 9 works completely fine without any extra settings.

I tried using SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_IGNORE_DEVICES to force Proton to prefer hidraw for the device, without success.

Does anyone have a solution or idea? Or maybe even have it working ootb for them?

Got a 2 TB nvme with one smaller partition (300 GB) running Debian, and one larger partition (1.7 TB) for storage. Got most games installed on the larger partition.

When I try to install a game via a Launcher (using Steam Proton, on the small partition), within the launcher I choose the game to target the larger partition, but it says the partition does not have enough space. The installation fails to recognise the correct available space on the larger partition!

Can I somehow circumvent this bug?

TLDR; A game launcher sits on partition A, and does not properly recognise the available space on partition B. It can only see the available space on it's own partition (A).

Howdy folks. New Bazzite convert here. I plugged in my Saitek pedals and followed this guide to get them accessible outside of root. Now I can see them in the Game Controller tab in System Settings, but the device type is "Unknown" and the controller type is "Not a controller". When I move them, it registers just fine, but when I boot up VTOL VR, the game does not seem to recognize them as a controller (I have the hardware rudder pedals enabled, but the game does not recognize any movement).

My thought is that, because Bazzite thinks they are not a controller, VTOL VR may be ignoring them. Does this seem likely? If so, how do I fix the "not a controller" issue? If not, any other thoughts on how to get this running?

Thanks!

Edit: okay I'm dumb. VTOL VR has a separate binding menu. Got the wheelbrakes working. Now the issue is that VTOL VR is not recognizing the actual rudder axis. Is there a way to remap axes in Linux?

Discord uses CPU for video encoding which puts a lot of pressure on it thus makes games stutter a lot more. I have i5 13600kf with rx 9070 xt. I tried a lot of stuff, searched the internet for answers and tried troubleshot with ai. Nothing worked. I'm using normal discord with vencord installed but I also tried vesktop and it didn't work as well. Hardware acceleration is on, tried writing few things into exec as few sources told or ai told. I'm monitoring if it works using amdgpu_top. I'm using obs for replay buffer and it uses my rx 9070 xt just fine. I'm honestly not really sure what to try anymore so I'm reaching out here and I hope there is a solution to make discord stream using gpu.

Hi all, new Linux user here still getting to grips with everything so hopefully folks can be patient!

I have a stupid question that I can't seem to find the answer to - how do you add a link to a game in your Heroic library to a panel? I have Civ VI via Epic which runs great but I'd like to start it in one button.

None of the command lines I've seen (like 'heroic run civ6') recommended seem to launch it game. Any advice on what applet to add and/or commands to use?

Hi everyone! I decided to reinstall Arch for fun, and afterward, absolutely all my games using Vulkan stopped running, although they still run when using OpenGL. Here are the Proton logs:https://pastebin.com/DCT2Znxh

Is Zorin OS actually becoming a real Windows alternative? It just hit 3.3 million downloads, with a big boost from users leaving Windows 10 after support ended.

The latest 18.1 update brings better hardware support, improved app compatibility, and even smoother desktop features. It also supports 240+ apps and runs on a newer Linux kernel. Have any of you tried it? Would you switch, or is Windows 11 still the safer choice?

As stated in the title, the game stutters and lags like hell at the start of the round when the cars start spawning. I use heroic, CachyOS' preinstalled proton(tried wine 11, made it worse), have a MX230 GPU and i5-10210U CPU. I know this ain't the best system but pretty sure it can run RL, as i did it on Windows. Also I don't know if i have made any mistakes or forgot to make some necessary changes to the settings as this is a fresh system and I'm a relatively newly serious Linux user(tried before but switched back for some issues). I'd be glad if you helped me and sorry for the unnecessary yapping.

Hi,

I bought my son a computer, for him to game and do homework. I installed Ubuntu on it.

He has Fallout 4 installed from Steam. I wanted to play this game too, so I created a new user on the computer for me. When I tried to run Fallout 4, I was surprised that Steam was downloading the game all over again! This game takes many GB of disk space, and having it installed twice on the same computer seems to be a terrible waste of disk space.

There must be a solution, I guess. What can I do to make all Steam games playable to all users without installing them many times?
