Question about mux switch and advanced optimus
I'm wondering if it's possible to get advanced optimus running on bazzite. I'm using a laptop with a mux switch and it has an Intel igpu with an Nvidia dgpu. All firmware is up to date. And I'm connected to a display through USB c to dp 1.4

Trouble with lutris
Hey I’m super new trying to make a throw-back computer on a mk5 cf-31 tough book. Already running into problems.
I’m on mint 21.3
I did mount the cd successfully to try and have a better pathway via the command.
But when to hit install it does nothing but code 256.
Any ideas?

Steam doesn't recognize my Xbox controller
I have this little problem where Steam wouldn't recognize my Xbox Elite Series 2 controller.
I use Linux Mint Zara (newest) Cinnamon edition and everything is updated.
- The controller is connected via Bluetooth
- It's trusted (Bluetooth setting)
- Steam input for Xbox-Controller is active (alongside all other controllers)
- I've tried to turn off/on ertm
- I've installed sysfsutils
- and I've restarted my pc and re-paired the controller several times.
Steam doesn't recognize any connected controller. (see top of the Steam page) :/

Can you make LACT run on startup like Adrenalin on windows?
Recently upgraded to a 9070xt, but boy is it loud on the default settings.
On windows I used adrenalin to do -12% PL and do a custom fan curve, it applies on launch
Can I do the same on Fedora/Cachyos using LACT?

Error 13568 when trying to install NFS World through Lutris.
Hello everyone, I'm trying to install NFS World from Lutris's website. I was finally able to get past the python fork error, but I'm now stuck on this one. I've tried everything from installing "vc2022" and "dinput8" from Winetricks. Even changing WIne versions does nothing. Any help is appreciated. P.S. I'm on fedora 43 kde.

My joystick only has the correct position as it's moving!
I have a controller, and the joystick only seems to register as being anywhere other than 0,0 when I'm moving the stick. Otherwise it just stays as 0,0 and will snap back there as I'm moving the stick if it's not fast enough.
This doesn't happen with other controllers, and it doesn't happen with the same controller on my windows pc.
What's going on? How can I fix this? Any help would be much appreciated!

how do i exclude a game running through steam from my vpn?
i made a post exactly like this but about heroic launcher like a week ago but i switched to running the game through steam so i can use steam input with it.
basically i want to play some black ops 2 servers through plutonium and proton but i have a vpn on my pc and that's not allowed in a bunch of servers, i want steam to add mullvad-exclude to the start of whatever command it runs to launch the game so i don't have to manually disconnect from the vpn whenever i want to play the game. is there a way i can do this through steam or would i have to start running it through heroic again?
EDIT:i'm a dumbass and didn't look this up before posting it. if anyone else has this issue just add mullvad-exclude %command% into the launch options and it should work fine

AnvilToolKit on Steam Deck
Hey, I’ve been trying to get AnvilToolKit to consistently work on the steam deck for a year now and been having weird luck with it. I’ve got it kinda working in the past but now I’m having issue where when I try to run it, it tells me that I need to run it as an administrator. I’ve tried to change the files permissions to allow all users to view and edit the file, plus I only have the one profile so it should have admin access. I’ve tried flatseals, that didn’t work. I’ve downloaded the .net 5 file so that shouldn’t be an issue. I’m running it with wine because it just runs with out the extra UI. Nobody seems to be able to figure this issue out on deck. I’ve tried everything I could look up. Everyone solutions do nothing and im trying to figure out how I’ve had admin access with the file one day and lose it the next. Any new advice would be great as I’m sure there is way to get this working without all the headaches!

Overwatch 2 and Nvidia crashes?
So far I've been using Fedora since 35 and have been loving it, but the only thing that stops me is Overwatch 2.
First, every time it updates, it always has to do shader compiling, which takes forever. If I skip, it does it while playing, which is unplayable.
Second, when things are finally going well, maybe about about an hour or so (feels so random), the graphics driver crashes and kick me out of the game. I forgot the actual message right now.
I want to get away from Windows but OW2 is really the only game I play daily. I found myself booting into Fedora less because of this issue. For the most part, OW2 is the only reason why I use Windows now.
Is this just a Nvidia issue, or just the state of Steam/Proton/OW2?
I have a 5950X and 3090. Should I be looking into an AMD GPU as my next purchase? Would that fix the crashing?
Also would the AMD GPU eliminate or shorten the shader compiling?

Just switched from Snap to Deb Steam App and....
Holy Hell, everything just works now. I was having so many issues getting games to run as good as on Windows but I have been going through my favorite games and it's now butter smooth start ups.
Just wanted to gush a bit and kick myself for not doing this sooner
