Hey everyone! Some of you may remember my tool hyprfreeze, a script to automate quickly suspending games in Hyprland.
A lot changed since then and that tool evolved past Hyprland and became wl-freeze.

It's a lot more reliable now and has some new features, including support for other Wayland compositors, so I thought it would be worth it to post again.

Useful to:

• Pause single-player games that can't normally be paused (Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, ...)
• Pause cutscenes to read the subtitles or if you suddenly need to leave your desk
• Save system resources (excluding RAM) if you need them for another computer task, or if the game's pause menu uses too many

Currently supported compositors

• Hyprland
• Sway
• Niri
• And more! Learn how you can easily make it work on your compositor too, and how you can help, in the README.

Does anyone know a way to reliably use Ubisoft Connect?

Half my Assassin's Creed library, as well as Watch Dogs 2, are only available there. And I'm desperate to get those games back, but not desperate enough to go back to Windows. However, I don't see any other options, since even Lutris let me down on this one, returning installer exit code 1280 IIRC. I don't know what to do, I feel like I'm basically robbed of all the games I had there.

My gaming OS is BazziteOS if it matters.

I started using Faugus Launcher as I needed a simple alternative to Steam in order to have my prefixes and save files in a folder that could be later recovered and restored via Ludusavi. My last (and only) issue is that Faugus Launcher prefix folder is not detected by Ludusavi (in my sd is home/deck/Faugus).

Anyone has been able to add the whole Faugus folder (instead of custom games in an individual basis) and could provide some help?

I thought id share it here as well just in case.

Didn't know this subreddit existed, otherwise I would have asked here directly.

I hope it helps someone.

Hi Linux Gamers,

We have a family laptop with Linux Mint. One of my children would like to play Minecraft and Roblox with friends who are on Apple and Android phones/tablets.

Do you have any recommendations for how to solve that?

Hi there folks.

I'm on Bazzite using GNOME.

I have DualSense and an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless controllers, but neither of them seem to work in-game at all. In order to make them work I have to use Proton-GE and the PROTON_USE_SDL=1 (or PROTON_PREFER_SDL=1) launch option. In that situation it works fine, but that means I have to do that for every game that I want to play with a controller. It also makes me feel like I'm just doing something wrong.

The weird thing is that Steam detects the controllers just fine. It works in Big Picture mode just fine, but in-game it refuses to work. I've tried wired and wireless connections, but it's all the same. I've tried enabling and disabling Steam input, but that doesn't matter either.

Has anyone run into this problem too? How do you fix this?

Hi! Since the latest update and the new Proton hotfix (which fixed the game not launching), I can't use FSR 4.1 anymore. Is this normal?

I’ve been wanting to drop Windows for a long time, but I’ve found an issue in that I play some games that have kernel level anticheat (Riot Games games being a notorious example of that, which I admittedly indulge in.)

I’m wondering how duel booting would work in regards to this if I had my Windows OS for TPM 2.0 games, and Linux (not necessarily Bazzite) for everything else? Games and just an OS usable for everything else. YouTube, other entertainment, emulation, work, web surfing, etc.

Anybody specifically duel booting for a similar situation? I’d love some input. I don’t wanna have things break on me, so I feel the need to make a post and ask.

Thanks!

After my positive trial using my RTX 5090 FE I decided to give a try with my RX 9070 XT, paired this time, with my R7 9800 X3D, with a TDP limited to 65W.

The outcome is pretty convincing. The R7 9800 X3D allows to push to the RX 9070 XT to its limit, in contrary of the i5 12600K.

Frame Generation is not working apparently. Anyway FSR 4 Performance is working like a charm on this game!

It is a very good experience!

Fan Grids : Noctua NA-FG1-12 Sx2 with offseted mount
