Already posted this on the r/SteamDeck subreddit. Posting here if anyone is having issues like me:
Still running into issues with Switch controllers after all these years, I decided to look around for a fix and found this blog post talking about how the controllers look for "Nintendo" in the hostname upon connect:
Your Joy-Cons are Vibrating Themselves to Death

After following this blog post, it seems initially that it helped, but if the joycons or pro controller still disconnected for whatever reason, they don't always easily reconnect, without having to re-pair them. Upon looking at the blog post, I noticed one of the commands opens up "bluetoothctl" in terminal, which gives a sort of "live view" of whats going on. It was then that I noticed this command constantly popping up in terminal:

hci0 type 1 discovering off
hci0 type 1 discovering on

I thought this was weird since in KDE bluetooth configuration, I have discovery or visibility off. It also seems to pop up every 10 seconds. While this pop up appears, I noticed that I couldnt easily connect my joycons or pro controller, even though they were paired, I would just get numerous pop ups saying that the controller was disconnected with reason 1 or 3. After some googling on the error, I found a page where someone pointed out that killing kdeconnectd makes hci0 type 1 discovering on/off go away. If i go into KDE settings and turn off the bluetooth and networking backends, suddenly the "hci0 type 1 discovering on/off" prompt goes away and stays at off, after which, I can turn off and reconnect my already paired joycon and nintendo switch as much as I want, with no errors. This seems to go on until I restart, which results in the prompt appearing again until I enable/disable the bluetooth and network backends in KDE connect.

This explains alot on why all these years, I had issues with my switch joycon/pro controllers not always connecting. Also, the reason that sometimes it connects succesfully if you try to brute force it, is I noticed that since the on/off toggle persists every 10 seconds, if you try to turn on the switch controllers just before it hits the 9th or 10 second mark, the switch controller is able to reconnect just as the discovery toggle says off, but before it can turn back on. So, if you are still having issues with your controllers, try messing with the kde connect backend and turn off bluetooth and networking in the settings (just remember they are off if you need kdeconnect). I will try to report this bug to the KDE Connect team if I can.

Core 2 Duo, GT 610, Bodhi Linux 7, not sure what other info required. Still new to Linux.

Tried to set it up pursuant to AI instructions. I know, first mistake. Bodhi is basically a stripped down Ubuntu 22.04 (right?) so I figured it wouldn't be that hard. Verified my kernel (5.15), got the proper (but old 390.157 IIRC) Nvidia drivers and what I was told by would be the likely missing 32bit dependencies.

Tried running Steam via CLI, and it just kept cycling. Rebooted. Tried via GUI. Nothing. Uninstalled via CLI, installed Steam Installer via Package manager. Rebooted. Could not find installer via GUI.

Gonna be real, this machine is ancient and I probably forgot some things I did.

Tried running Steam since it still appears in the GUI via CLI. Still cycling after about 30min.

It looks this:

hay juegos que no puedo disfrutar del todo porque los componentes de mi sistema no son tan altos, 6gb de ram y eso, entonces queria saberlo para sacrificar parte de la comodidad de windows.

ademas con mi rollo de usar powerpoint excel y eso, me afectaria? no hay qlternativa? con los componentes de mi sistema no creo que pueda usar una maquina virtual para correr windows si ni me corre bien el power point aveces.

he jugado juegos como Dont starve together, oxygen not included, factorio, darkest dungeon 1, mewgenics, minecraft, forager, terraria calamity(super optimizado) y cosas asi, no me gustan esos juegos triple AAA para que mas o menos vean el rollo

I recently switched to Linux mint for my old laptop and made me realise how much ive enjoyed not having to deal with windows.

I have a gaming rig that I also use to stream that has a nvidia RTX 5080 in it (I know I know) and was wondering what OS i should switch to? from initial research I've seen bazzite and nobara as the main 2 for rtx cards

bazzite seems to be more just gaming focused whilst nobara seems to be more rounded, I also have a GO XLR so preferably a distro that could work with GOXLR on Linux

Thanks for any advice!

trying to play lords of the fallen on ubuntu, the controller isn't recognized by the game. The drivers are installed, system recognizes it, steam recognizes it, the game doesn't. Switching steam input on and off doesn't do anything. The same controller, in the same game, on the same machine on windows works.

Found a standalone free game in flatpak and appimage, it got me curious if I could install it as a flatpak then add it to heroic but i can't seem to do it.

I use fedora kde latest version if it helps.

I'm using a usb external soundcard to get rid of static sounds on the headphone, but it made my otherwise normal mic to be very quiet, so I used loudness filter and just add the input, output and volume. It works great but it made my voice sounds a bit boomy now. Any setting to make it less boomy? Right now all other filters I use are just the default easyeffects settings.

Running arch, plasma, anyways I ran the Linux install and navigated to the stardewmoddingapi.dll and added it to my steam library. When I tell it to run the modded one it looks like it runs startdew valley as intended, but then immediately closes. What am I messing up?

Ever since the latest update in Crimson Desert, while playing the game in Bazzite I started noticing something in the bottom right of my screen, sort of like this weird texture flickering or something. I honestly don’t remember this happening prior to the latest patch, but I’m wondering if I’m the only one that’s experienced this or am I alone here? If I set all of the settings down to low, it goes away, but the second I put everything back to any higher settings it comes right back. I also jumped into windows to see if it would happen there too, but it doesn’t, it seems to be something with Bazzite.

System is:

- Ryzen 7 9700x

- Radeon 9070 XT

- 32gb ram

- 850w PSU

Using GE Proton 34, Steam is the launcher and I have the following launch command in Steam:

VK3D_CONFIG=FS4 PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 %command%

I’ve got a video here showing it happening. If anyone else has seen this and knows how to fix it please let me know.

Been having problems with controllers (both switch pro and PS5 controllers), both with and without steam input in rocket league on steam. If i plug in the controller via USB *after* the game launches, the game refuses to see the controller. This also means that if there is a short interruption in which the game forgets the USB device, i have to restart the game (this cost me some matches already). If the controller is plugged in before i click play everything works totally fine. Does anyone have a solution to this? Is this a common problem? I am on cachyos

CachyOS

Cosmic DE

I’ve tried everything I can think of. All the various protons (ge, experimental, cachyos slr and native, hotfix). And various flags, (wayland, nvgpu, nothing) and I can’t get this game to boot. The farthest I’ve gotten is the screen with the flying blocks and it does that for a while then freezes. I like the music though. Anyone?

Hi, i'm using CachyOS and whenever I try to open the file manager through Bottles to search for a bottle files, it just shows an empty window and crashes. I appreciate any help, thanks.

One second later after that, it just crashes.

So I've been trying to play games and i just get horrible performance while people with the same specs dont, im starting to think its a cpu bottleneck, even though it didnt happen when i was on linux, but i have nothing else to grasp on:

OS: CachyOS x86_64

Kernel: Linux 6.19.11-1-cachyos

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (12) @ 4.47 GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Lite Hash Rate [Discrete] drivers: 595.58.03

RAM: 2x16gb ddr4 3600mhz

Tried lutris with latest wine and proton versions, then steam with latest wine and proton experimental, tried overclocking power limit on gpu, tried changing settings, tried reinstalling whole os, still nothing.

I'm just really curious of how even though i do all the steps i still get such horrible performance, while everyone else on protondb.com says its fine and rates the games i play gold, even with people with the same gpu as me.

I've tried cyberpunk 2077, fallout 4, fallout 3&NV (only ones that ran fine) and the witcher 3. I dont even go for high settings or ray tracing, but it still runs horribly.

Last time i gamed on this machine before the problems was around a year or so ago (when i was on windows), so im thinking that my thermal paste may have dried up and is causing the cpu to overheat (temps are at 95º when under load and i dont think thats good), so it lags down to stop it from going over the edge.

Its either that or, my other suspicion, running proton and wine (ESPECIALLY LUKS2 because i have a feeling thats causing lots of drops in performance) adds more stuff the cpu has to do so it just cant.

if anyone can can u just tell me what i can do to make it run better, or just to figure out what is the problem? im genuienly thinking of going back to windows and using a separate machine for linux.
