Steelseries Arctis Nova becoming unstable
Hello everyone,
I've had this Steelseries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless for a couple years or more. It has accompanied me in my Windows - and now my KDE Neon times. However it has become rather unstable... Meaning: it keeps disconnecting or breaking up, like up until a point where its just the connnect-disconnect noises again and again.
Pulling out the USB-C dongle and putting it back in previously did solve it for a short while but that has not also stopped doing anything.
Does anyone have any experience or advice on this?

linux newbie, how do minecraft?
hi all, i just got a new pc and i decided to switch to linux because of, y'know, everything that's wrong with windows. so far i love it and i'm glad i made the switch, but installing minecraft is proving to be a major pain in the ass for some reason.
i downloaded the .deb from mojang and installed it through the terminal, but the launcher wouldn't open after install. i tried opening it through the terminal with the sudo command and that almost worked, but the minecraft launcher just opened as a white box. i looked back at the terminal and it gave me... whatever this is.
i consulted this post and this guide but neither seem to be helping.
i'm brand new to linux so i would really appreciate having instructions broken down as step-by-step as possible. genuinely i have no idea what i'm even looking at here. if someone could explain what i need to do to fix this the same way you'd explain it to a literal child, i'd be incredibly grateful.

Death Stranding 2 Controller Dualshock 4 Issue
When playing the game and connect the controller, the camera starts spinning and all buttons doesn't work; as soon as I disconnect the controller everything turns normal.
I've already tried connecting the usb of the controller, without luck.
My setup is Cachyos, proton cachyos-slr latest version with PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=0 PROTON_LOCAL_SHADER_CACHE=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_PREFER_SDL=1 PROTON_NO_STEAMINPUT=1 WINE_FSYNC_SIMULATE_SCHED_QUANTUM=1 WINE_FSYNC_YIELD_TO_WAITERS=1 game-performance mangohud %command%
I've also tried removing all the proton Environment Variables but nothing.
The controller works perfectly fine with all my other games.
Ideas?
Thanks.

BetMGM on Linux
My dad plays slot machines on the betmgm website and I recently set up his home theater with a Linux Mint system and he wanted to try it on that system, does anyone know if it works on Linux? I usually use brave but thats not mandatory or anything. It tries to install a browser plugin but the page 404s. Does anyone have any ideas? Would using a windows web browser in bottles or something work?

Crimson Desert Tesselation flicker
Hey I'm experiencing issue pictured here: https://paste.nobaraproject.org/?7a194e1582927523#Eh5D6B6bAxdErVX6sRRRGLhdDVP4URTzurHQvorDpkdw
Textures are flickering on the right bottom side of my screen and I'm clueless on how to fix it. It seems less intensive with FSR4.1 on Native. When i change model quality to low it doesn't happen so I think it has something to do with tessellation
I'm on Nobara Linux with KDE Plasma,
Mesa 26.0.3, Proton GE 10-34

Do the 8BitDo 64 Controllers Work on Linux?
I'm looking to replay some nostalgic Nintendo 64 games from my childhood. Does anyone know if the 8BitDo 64 Controllers work on Arch Linux? I don't want to spend 40 dollars on a controller that might not even work with my system.

I made portable installations for emulators on Linux
Hey everyone!
I got tired of manually downloading emulators, keeping them updated, and having their config scattered all over my home folder so I wrote a set of scripts to handle all of that automatically.
Tested on Arch with KDE

CS2 performance on SteamOS?
I switched from Windows to Bazzite about 6 months ago. But the CS2 took a massive performance hit, with frame rates often in the 60 - 80 FPS range. For whatever reason CachyOS seemed to do much better, with frame rates usually over 120 FPS (sometimes a lot more, depending on the map). So I've been running Bazzite and Cachy on separate drives, with the latter just being my CS OS
But in the last week Cachy performance has dropped, similar to what I was seeing in Bazzite. No clue why. The only thing I can think to try now is SteamOS, considering it's a Valve game, maybe they've optimised it 🤷 idk
Does anyone have experience running CS2 on SteamOS, and how it compares with other distros?

What is the best way to play the old GTA Games (Ⅲ, Vice City and San Andreas)?
I wanna play the classic GTA games again, I wanna know what is the best also most painless way to play them for those who tried doing so on linux before
PS2 emulator seems like the easiest route while still maintaining the retro looks for them
while the PC ports could take some time to setup up and get going even on windows, i wonder if it's better to play on linux
I am used to playing GTA games with mouse and keyboard so if i could get them running on Cachyos that would be great,

Help with weird display issues
Disclaimer: this is going to be tricky, as I can't disclose any details about the game (not released or even announced yet, strictly confidential), so I can't provide any logs or screenshots other than maybe my system specs.
The problem I'm having: the game starts and the main menu screen is squeezed to half horizontal resolution, to the left half of the screen, but I can move the cursor all over the screen. So, if I want to click a button, I have to actually click the empty space where the button should be on the right side of the screen. When I move the cursor there, the button gets highlighted and reacts as it should. Hope you can imagine that.
When I finally enter the game proper, all the UI elements are still squished, not always though, they scale properly to full screen with some functions. The game is scaled properly, though, so I get the proper game with a a squished UI overlay. Same goes for the black bars in cinematic sutscenes, they only reach to half of the screen's width.
Here's the twist: it works well on Windows on the same machine and, more importantly, on Steamdeck with no tweaks necessary, so it's apparently not the game, but my config. I tried other games (Cyberpunk, Powerwash 2 and some others) and they run just fine.
Some details: it's a 3D game made in Unity, using D3D12 as far as I can tell, I'm using Steam on Manjaro with kernel 6.19 (it was the same with 6.18 though)
What I've tried: all resolutions, all modes (windowed/fullscreen etc.), all versions of Proton (GE, experimental, hotfix, etc.), and some gamemode hacks I found on ProtonDB for previous games from the same developer, both versions of the latest nvidia drivers (open/proprietary).
I'm double-booting, so I may just launch the game on Windows, but I need it for work and I've got all my work tools on Manjaro, so it's way less convenient to constatly switch between OSs.

Borderless vs Fullscreen gaming
I saw this very informative video that shows the negative effects of playing games in borderless mode, now for KDE and Gnome I don't think we get true "Exclusive Fullscreen" like Windows does, so does anything in that video actually relate to Linux gaming at all? do we know how KDE and Gnome behave on this regard?

Problems with LinuxGSM Docker Image for Wolfenstein Enemy Territory
Afternoon all.
I've recently been working with getting a LinuxGSM Docker image setup on Ubuntu for Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. Currently Docker is running fine, I can connect to the game just fine.
My problem exists in mapping a volume in the Docker-Compose file so that my pre-existing config files (and location of maps) are recognize correctly.
For example, my docker yaml file has the following:
Volumes:
- type: bind
source: /home/myaccount/games/enemyterritory/serverfiles/etmain
target: /data/
However what happens when I run the game, is that the game starts but none of my config files or custom maps are recognized. When I dig into this further, what is happening is that in my host machine, I see a new sub-folder path in my above etmain folder. It now has:
/home/myaccount/games/enemyterritory/serverfiles/etmain/serverfiles/etmain
It's as if Docker LinuxGSM is placing it's files in that location.
Honestly I'm new to Docker so I'm trying to nail down better syntax and configuration. Can someone help out for a better configuration so that Docker reads the correct source path?
For reference, here is my complete yaml file in case anyone wants to help pick it apart for better usage:
version: '3.8'
services:
enemyterritory:
container_name: enemyterritory
image: gameservermanagers/gameserver:wet
stdin_open: true
tty: true
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- target: '27960'
published: '27960'
protocol: tcp
- target: '27960'
published: '27960'
protocol: udp
volumes:
- type: bind
source: /home/myaccount/games/enemyterritory/serverfiles/etmain
target: /data/
