[META] Can we have a rule explicitly forbidding vibe coded tools and scripts? We keep getting more and more posts for stuff that's been vibe coded.
AI coded scripts and programs are dangerous and should be trusted even less than the random, human coded stuff online.

I just learned the beta (595) nVidia driver includes an option to install the nVidia app. Anyone tried it out yet?
I'd rather not risk breaking my installation, but if this has feature parity with the Windows version, i.e., it allows me to redeem my free copy of RE:Requiem, I might have to chance it.

dualsense issues with death stranding DC?
playing DS: DC with a PS5 controller it kept cutting out--it wasnt disconnecting, but rather DS would stop receiving inputs from it entirely until i turned it off and on again. the controller seemed to otherwise be fine. this seemed to become unplayably bad as soon haptic feedback started happening; the triggers will push back but then the game will stop receiving inputs despite the triggers still applying resistance.. anyone have any luck fixing this? im assuming enabling steaminput will make it work, but id like to have the cool controller features =(
for specs i am on arch and have dualsensectl installed, and am using bluetooth. other games have worked just fine with these features (like warframe)

Help with Bazzite
Help
I am relatively new to Linux operating systems and am trying to get to get Minecraft console edition running. I've got it to boot but after booting it freezes and the terminal gives message " --ozone-platform=wayland is not not compatible with Vulkan. Consider switching to --ozone-platform=x11 or disabling Vulkan." After some brief research I couldn't find anyway to solve this in anyway that made a lick of sense to me. Am I at a complete impasse? Does anyone know anyway to solve this?

I made a Bash tool to automate Linux post-install setup — feedback & contributions welcome!
Hey everyone!
I've been working on dsxtool — a modular, interactive Bash script to automate the boring parts of setting up Linux after a fresh install. Instead of copy-pasting commands from a wiki every time, you get an fzf-powered menu that handles everything for you.
What it does
TLP power management — detects your current power manager (tuned, power-profiles-daemon, system76-power) and replaces it with TLP if you want
Desktop environments — installs KDE Plasma, XFCE, Hyprland, Cosmic, or Hyprland (csouzape edition)
Development setup — languages (Python, C++, Rust, Go, Node.js) and IDEs (VS Code, Zed, Neovim/LazyVim, Kate)
Wallpapers — clones a wallpaper repo straight to ~/Pictures/wallpapers
Flatpak — installs Flatpak and adds Flathub
Virtualization — sets up QEMU/KVM + virt-manager + libvirt with network config
Fonts — downloads and installs Nerd Fonts and dev fonts
Alacritty — installs and applies a custom config
yay (Arch only) — installs the AUR helper
Supported distros
Arch Linux (pacman), Debian/Ubuntu (apt), Fedora (dnf). Distro is detected automatically from /etc/os-release — no manual config needed.
Quick start
git clone https://github.com/csouzape/dsxtool
cd dsxtool
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
Want to contribute?
If you find a bug, open an issue: https://github.com/csouzape/dsxtool/issues
If you want to add a feature or fix something, open a PR: https://github.com/csouzape/dsxtool/pulls
Ideas I'm thinking about adding:
More desktop environments (GNOME, Cinnamon, BSPWM)
zsh / fish shell setup module
Dotfiles module
Repo: https://github.com/csouzape/dsxtool
Would love to hear what modules you'd want added, or if something breaks on your setup. All feedback welcome!

Portproton не может получить метаданние
Здравствуйте, пишу из Украины, почему говорю от куда? Потому что есть проблемы что портпротон не качает файлы точнее показал что хочет скачать и или из-за локации или просто не может он пропускает их, а когда питаюсь игру запустить выдает ошыбку:не удалось получить метаданные или что -то типу того, сижу на Линукс Минт, если можете посоветовать что поможет, может скачать Минт из другого зеркала

I've been dual booting CachyOS and Windows 11 on my 9800X3D/RTX 5080 and ran the RDR2 benchmark to compare
I saw about 15-30fps decrease on CachyOS with Proton 10.0.4 using the RDR2 synthetic benchmark. Settings were nearly all ultra at 1440p, no DLSS, on a 9800X3D/RTX 5080/32GB RAM.
Keep in mind this is a synthetic benchmark so real gameplay may differ — planning a gameplay comparison video if there's interest.
If there are any other games people want me to test let me know :)

Nvidia __GL_SHARPEN_ENABLE in XWayland just FYI
I being someone who tends to prefer to lower my resolution in most any game i play to 1080p from 1440p for performance reasons (even when i can run 1440p fine with my RTX5070 mobile) had been looking for a good sharpening filter.
I used vkBasalt for a while but the CAS in vkBasalt always seems to be a bit over sharp regardless of the settings and wasnt as good as i liked. I happened to be reading the latest 595 driver readme and noticed the sharpening options under GL environment variables.
Well, turns out __GL_SHARPEN_ENABLE works just fine in steam games running under XWayland. So if you happen to have an nvidia GPU and want a bit extra sharpness on your games go ahead and try it.
Took a few screenshots of Wilds to show it, still need to find my right settings
Default no sharpening
70% Sharpening 30% Denoising
and 100% Sharpening 0% Denoising

I couldn't find the perfect tool to manage my Ubisoft and Rockstar saves on Linux, so I built my own
Having had nothing but issues with built-in cloud sync in launchers and no easy way to locally backup and restore my saves lead me to build SaveManager; a lightweight GUI app for backing up and restoring game saves on both Linux and Windows.
It automatically detects Ubisoft and Rockstar saves with no manual path configuration needed in most cases. On Linux it supports Steam/Proton, Wine, and Lutris. On Windows it uses the native launcher paths and you may specify your own paths in the settings tab.
https://reddit.com/link/1rpfvmk/video/9ocbwgslo3og1/player
Features in 1.0:
- Automatic save detection for Ubisoft and Rockstar games
- Backup and restore
- Linux and Windows support
Planned for future releases:
- Save editor (starting with Rockstar titles)
- PSP ↔ PPSSPP save transfer
- Epic Games / Heroic support
- Web sync

So is FSR4 natively supported on Linux with a 9070 XT?
For reference I'm running Arch Linux with a 9070 XT.
I know there are Windows games that support it, but I don't see it natively on those games on Linux. I know there are hacks to get it working, but I have limited time and want to spend it gaming, not fiddling (that's why I removed Decky, and all emulators, and don't bother with non-steam games).
So for FSR4 to natively show up in games like CP2077 or Clair Obscur E33, are we waiting for Valve to update Proton? Or an updated Mesa/DX12/VK release?

[NEON WHITE] game won’t boot, no error code? (Previously code 13568)
Plutonium Black Ops 1 No Sound
I've started to use Plutonium to play Call of Duty Black Ops 1 & 2 Zombies.
I got BO2 working , but when I play BO1 I have no SFX audio for some reason. I hear no sound effects like gunshots and I have a feeling it might be a Proton / Linux issue.
If anyone has any insight to offer I'd appreciate it.

[SPOILERS] Finished aperture desk job on linux with my xbox one controller!
The steam support for controllers is great, my distro even picked up the controller without doing anything, even the desktop mode for controller works perfectly! (unlike on windows)

Looking for beta testers for my Warhammer 3 mod manager
TLDR: Mod manager with basic features like groups, profiles, built specifically for Linux so it handles all the Wine bits without needing to run the manager through Wine, which is a pita.
Hi everyone, I recently developed a mod manager for Total War: Warhammer 3 since there wasn’t a native option in Linux. I had tried to patch wh3mm, but there were too many hardcoded paths, and I had problems building the app (I think it was due to lacking network permissions because it uses remote assets, but I’m not sure; it was a random shower thought I had yesterday).
Anyway, it uses umu under the hood using Steam’s Proton version and prefix (if you chose any); otherwise, if your game is outside Steam, it will use umu-launcher’s own Proton version. You can customise any path, obviously, though the defaults are populated based on Steam’s default path (if Steam is installed).
These are the features:
- automatic and manual ordering
- profiles
- Groups: This is a bit particular because groups are a set of mods you can share across profiles. For example, let’s say you have the mixer and the intro mods and you want to have them for all your profiles, you’d make a “base” group, add the two mods, link the group to the profiles and call it a day. You can toggle off/on entire groups “on the fly” and all the mods from the group will disappear (or appear) in the profile (which is useful if you have mods that depend on particular game sets). Other than that, if you want to add or remove mods from your group, you can, and the changes will be propagated to all the profiles, though the reverse isn’t true: if you remove a group mod from your profile, it, obviously, won’t be removed from your group (so you have absolute control).
Anyway! So far, I tested it only on my system, and while I’m pretty sure it will work without an issue, there will absolutely be issues — after all, I’m an unlucky sod.
So, well, if you are interested, here’s the repo with the release. If you want to build from source, the instructions are in the readme, and if you want to add more games, well, it’s actually pretty easy (for most of them, at least).
Here’s the link: https://github.com/tpkee/foolhammer-mod-manager
EDIT: I’m using a throwaway because I don’t want to link my GH to my not so respectable main account, lol
