hi everyone, i have this weird issue where when im playing games and im moving around and stuff, the screen has a flickering problem. the flicker also "moves" from the top of the screen to the bottom, and then starts back at the top. it looks a bit like on those old timey tvs and monitors, just not quite as extreme. this is specifically on 60hz. when i go to my settings and change the refresh rate to 74.97hz, the flickering gets much much worse. but! i can also change it to 59.94hz, and then it goes away. of course i WOULD like to enjoy the higher refresh rate, if it wouldn't cause such an issue.

so my question is, what could cause this weird behavior?
(i do have an nvidia gpu, regrettably. if that is the cause or maybe theres some settings to fix)

Right now I'm kinda scared the 20 series is next on the NVIDIA chopping block for drivers, especially considering the fact that I'm sporting a GTX 2070. I heard that support for the 10 series has been spotty ever since NVIDIA dropped support for their drivers, so I'm kinda just in fear of what's gonna come in say, a year or so.

I figure most of us on this sub are well aware of the current AMDGPU HDMI limitations. I’ve been trying to research HDMI drivers a let more recently, and I found something interesting that I don’t fully understand. Within the open-source intel i915 driver, HDMI 2.1 was possible on select ARC GPUs that had DP to HDMI protocol converters built in to the GPU (like those external DP to HDMI dongles, just built into the GPU). What I’m confused about, is that a few years back, the i915 developers allegedly added NATIVE FRL support into the fully open-source driver (linked below). FRL is the HDMI 2.1 technology that allows for the much higher 48Gbps bandwidth compared to 2.0. My question is: given that AMD GPUs have the hardware necessary for HDMI 2.1 and are only being capped by the lack of driver support, would it be possible to somehow implement FRL into the AMDGPU driver to unlock the 48Gbps bandwidth?

Disclaimer: this is PURELY speculative, I know very little about driver and display signaling technology

I'm trying to run Hades through the Archipelago randomizer, and to get it to work it must launch through a Python script that calls protontricks-launch to launch the game. The problem is when it launches, my Steam Controller won't work with the game.

The line that launches the game is 'protontricks-launch', '--appid=1145360', *self.args, env={**os.environ, 'WINEDEBUG': '-all'}

I've tried replacing launching protontricks-launch with steam steam://rungameid/1145360 and that will launch the game with controller support, but the game will no longer sync with Archipelago.

Is there any way to get my Steam Controller working through protontricks like this?

Heyo,

With the shutdown of the nexus mods app, I decided to create my own linux-native mod manager.

It's called NOMM (Native Open Mod Manager) and is still in early development but already has some basic features.

What I really need right now are people to help me test the app and provide some feedback!

The only game I've configured right now is Warhammer 40k Darktide, but configuring other games is relatively easy (as long as there is a "standard" path to install mods to).

There is a quick youtube presentation attached, and the github is available here (there's some kind of roadmap there).

Please feel free to open up issues on the github or dm me with whatever feedback you may have (and/or provide pull requests with filled configurations for different games!).

Hey, I’m planning to try Linux and would like some advice before setting it up.

My specs: Ryzen 5 5700X Radeon RX 9070 XT 32 GB RAM 2 TB SSD with Windows 1 TB SSD where I want to install Linux

What I’m trying to do: I want a dual-boot setup with Windows and Linux on separate drives. Gaming is the main focus on Linux, but I’ll also use it for normal stuff.

Questions:

Which distro would you recommend for gaming on this hardware?

Is dual-booting on a separate SSD usually painless, or are there things I should be careful about?

Can Linux access and run games that are already installed on the Windows SSD (Steam/Proton), or do games usually need to be installed again?

Any issues with everyday apps like Chrome or Discord?

I’m not a total beginner, but I’d prefer something that doesn’t require constant fixing or risk breaking my Windows install.

Thanks for any input.

Wireworks might be the most unique tower defense game I've ever played, with you building up weapons from modules you wire up to different logic blocks.

Been playing Fallout Tale of Two Wastelands with a bunch of mods (including the Wasteland Survival Guide preset with several other mods on top). However, recently when I've been playing, I've been hearing really strange and unpleasant noises like the ones in this video clip.

I've asked in ModdingLinked and The Wasteland Supplemental Discord servers but haven't been able to get any help. Does anyone have any idea how to make this not happen short of muting the game entirely?

I'm on Ubuntu 25.10, using a computer with an AMD Ryzen™ 5 7640U w/ Radeon™ 760M Graphics × 12 and running the game through gamescope. My command line in Steam is:

gamemoderun gamescope --force-grab-cursor -r 60 --backend sdl --nested-unfocused-refresh=60 -- %command%

If I should provide more info please let me know. Everything else has been alright so far besides this problem...

Idk if you guys have the same problem as me but my controller (ZD-S Super Legend) when i plug in my PC running Bazzite, the OS keep detecting it as XBOX 360 and also Nintendo Switch controller too which mean it's conflict? Steam doesnt show up any my controller btw, but when i do the same thing on Windows, it just straightly recognize my controller as Xbox One controller and works perfectly

Hi everyone,

I recently switched from Windows to Fedora and I’m setting up my games through Lutris. My PlayStation-style controller works fine over Bluetooth (it’s detected and inputs register), but I’m struggling with remapping buttons the way I used to in DS4Windows.

What I want to do

Swap triggers and bumpers:

L2 → L1 and L1 → L2

R2 → R1 and R1 → R2

Start/Options issue: the Options/Start button doesn’t work properly for me, so I’d like to map Start/Options to the PS button.

Profiles / per-controller behavior: I want something that supports profiles (per game or per controller), so that if a friend connects their controller, it stays default (similar to how DS4Windows can manage profiles per device/user).

What I tried

Steam Input: didn’t work well for my case because I’m launching games via Lutris, and dont open

Input remapping tools: I tried one (input reader/remapper) but I couldn’t get the mapping to work the way I need (especially for triggers / swapping L1-L2 and R1-R2).

Question

What are the best options on Fedora/Linux for:

Remapping a controller at the system level (or per game),

Handling triggers/bumpers cleanly,

And keeping separate profiles per controller so guest controllers remain default?

Any recommendations Thanks!

So WoW runs like a dream on Bazzite + Faugus + GE-Proton…

…but Battle.net’s login window acts like a confused indie app: flickering, hanging, sometimes taking minutes just to let me log in.

Tried prefixes i found on the internet, turning off hardware accel, some env var magic. Only thing that fixes login is WINED3D, but then my GPU goes on vacation in-game. :/

Anyone figured out how to tame this login monster on Proton/Wayland?
