I + LLMs have made Sigaw, a C++-based in-game overlay similar to Mangohud, supporting Vulkan and OpenGL games. Unlike Overlayed.dev, which renders a transparent window on top of the game, Sigaw injects the overlay directly into the game, meaning you don't have to worry about issues such as attempting to overlay in full screen on KDE, etc.

What it does (TLDR: tries to work 1:1 like Overlayed):

• Shows your Discord voice channel in-game with live speaking/mute/deaf state
• Keeps active speakers visible when the channel is large
• Can show voice channel chat messages as fading overlay rows
• Supports avatars, compact mode, and per-game overlay profiles
• System tray menu + CLI control via sigaw-ctl
• Works with Gamescope, X11, and Proton/Wine

To use Sigaw, you just launch games with sigaw-run %command% or SIGAW=1 %command% in Steam's launch options, check the README.md for clear instructions on exactly how to configure it for your setup.

Tested against a variety of games and applications, including but not limited to: Squad (Proton), DCS (Wine), vkcube, Ready Or Not (Proton), and a few others.

Hi Linux Community. My name is Silvanuz and I'm the creator of Bloomies.

I've been thinking about combining monster-collecting and farming games for a long time, since I'm a big fan of Pokémon and Stardew Valley/Harvest Moon.
And after many months of hard work I can finally release the demo!

Bloomies is a monster collector game with farming elements that runs independently at the bottom of your screen.
Use your computer as usual. The little monsters will happily continue living below.

Plant new seeds to hatch the eggs you've produced.

You can hatch new Bloomies from the eggs—sometimes even the rare Sparkle variant in a different color!
Expand your skills to automate your gameplay.

Make your Bloomies stronger and stronger and defeat the powerful world bosses to increase your world level so you can buy new things in the shop.
All at your own pace!

What does this have to do with gacha?

In Bloomies, the goal is to get monsters with the best S+ rank and then have them as Sparkles (like Shiny in Pokémon).

Since you have to constantly hatch a lot of eggs to achieve this, the gameplay in that regard is very gacha-like. It’s comparable to trying to pull a specific character in Genshin Impact.

I hope you enjoy the game and that it brightens up your day a little. :)
You can try it out on Steam:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4339460/Bloomies_Demo/

Feedback from the Linux community is really important to me because I think it's cool to create the native build that runs on your desktop out of the box

Hi, Do you have any suggestion about what is the best version of proton, available on protonplus I can use to play vrchat with the best fps and least lag? I have a rx7900xt paired with an Intel Core i9 11900kf and 32gb of ddr4. I use cachyos btw.

Just started it up after a few updates and I don’t have horrible frame drops on my Xbox ally x anymore. Anyone else seen an improvement the last couple of weeks?

In the middle I had switched to arch linux and I tried running ULTRAKILL on it, and the performance was surprisingly worse than windows. Has this happened to anyone else? If so do yall have any fixes?

Hi, I hope you're all doing well. I have a question and I hope you can help me. I'm planning to buy an RX 2070 Super and I'd like to know how it performs on Linux.

I don't know if any of you already own one and could share your experience with it.

I'm working on trying to get as close to 100% of my Steam library working on Linux Mint as possible. This game is proving to be particularly tricky, as I think the game was delisted from the Steam store before the first version of Proton even released. It's definitely not on ProtonDB. Even Googling it is a little tricky, as the game is just called "Star Trek" and the world kinda forgot it existed.

Has anyone actually managed to get this game running on Linux? My understanding is the game wasn't available for very long due to licensing, and it wasn't very popular when it was available. So far I've not had any luck getting the game to launch at all, but I've only tried a few Proton versions without tweaks.

Recientemente me cambié a Linux Mint y decidí probar el rendimiento de mis juegos entré ellos el Mortal Kombat XL y me percate de que estaba en castellano y no le di muchas vueltas hasta que intente ponerlo en latino pero dentro del juego y en steam solo aparece en castellano, lo curioso es que en win11 si estaba en latino, agradecería que alguien me diga si hay manera de cambiarlo.

I did the udev rules for the keyboard yet it still doesn't work

I have tried to follow this reddit thread and my keyboard is exposed:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1hxh65t/configuring_keyboard_with_web_driver/

Yet whenever i try to use the software with the website they gave with the keyboard (https://he68pro.driveall.cn/#/) it just straight up doesn't work

Here is what happens:

1- I press pair
2- The website tells me "Device is not supported" (Even though it works in a windows VM)
3- It doesn't appear but when i restart the website it shows the keyboard yet i can't access it as it sends me this

HIDDevice {oninputreport: null, opened: true, vendorId: 3141, productId: 32971, productName: 'KEYBOARD Fantech Atom HE68 PRO', …} collections: [{…}] opened: true productId: 32971 productName: "KEYBOARD Fantech Atom HE68 PRO" vendorId: 3141 [[Prototype]]: HIDDevicetype HIDDevice {oninputreport: null, opened: true, vendorId: 3141, productId: 32971, productName: 'KEYBOARD Fantech Atom HE68 PRO', …} collections : [{…}] opened : true productId : 32971 productName : "KEYBOARD Fantech Atom HE68 PRO" vendorId : 3141 [[Prototype]] : HIDDevice

4- I can't do anything

What can i do to make it work? The keyboard does say it works on linux and the non pro version works after doing the UDEV

I think this is a nice guide to setup Debian for gaming , and to my knowledge it is still up to date , Kudo to C10L whoever that might be . the purpose of that guide is mainly to keep Kernel and mesa fresh as well as having recent enough dependencies to be able to build thing like optiscaler etc .... And all of that while benefiting from debian ecosystem .

Currently satisfactory is having sub-par performance. I use the in game benchmark to set my graphics settings but turn DLSS to performance instead of balanced, but am only getting 50-55 fps with ~65% GPU usage. I tried turning DLSS off and did get slightly better fps, but they were extremely unstable, dipping to 30 when moving and it was using 95% of my GPU. Running on Proton-GE 10-31, I have NTSYNC enabled. I have gamemode configured to set my CPU to performance and I disabled mangohud to see if it was causing issues. I have tried both the DX12 and Vulkan rendering, Vulkan gave slightly better performance but not by much. I tried FSR with the ROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 launch option, slightly better performance but looks absolutely horrendous.

My current launch options are MANGOHUD=0 gamemoderun gamescope -H 1080 -W 1920 -f -- %command% -vulkan

Hey everyone,

I’ve posted a few times already about a tool I’m working on for the DualSense Edge, and today I finally added full macro support.

You can now:

Bind a macro to any button

Create macros on the fly using a quick recording feature

Quick macros work like this:

Press LFN → macro recording starts

Press LFN again → recording stops, macro is saved and automatically bound to RFN

Pressing LFN again later will overwrite the previous macro with a new one

I also added physical controller blocking for Steam. To make it work properly, you need to launch the app before starting Steam.

⚠️ Right now it needs to be run with sudo because I haven’t figured out a clean way to automatically set the required permissions yet 😅 If anyone knows a better approach (udev rules, etc.), I’d really appreciate the help.

If you’ve got a DualSense Edge, I’d love for you to try it out and share feedback — I want to polish this project and make it solid.

GitHub: https://github.com/Follen22/ds5-edge-relay

AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ds5-edge-relay

Thanks 🙌
