I've put together a cheap, low power Mini PC to get some 24/7 online stuff like Plex and torrents away from windows, have installed ubuntu 24 LTS and am just getting to know linux - loving it so far.

The PC also runs MAME and will be housed inside a cabinet with 8 way arcade joysticks and buttons from the 80s. It's just an intel N150, so integrated graphics, but I was surprised to see that it can run Dead Cells fine and is just powerful enough to run Silksong if I drop the screen res down to 1080 or less.

So, I'm looking for other PC game recommendations - not necessarily MAME games, but PC games that run on Linux and aren't too modern and GPU intensive, but most importantly games that are specifically designed for 8 way movement ie. WASD or arrow keys, that don't require a mouse or an analog stick on a gamepad - stuff like Spelunky or Stealth Bastard, plus I'm especially interested in anything that doesn't require Steam.

Also feel free to name drop any lesser known arcade games you loved in the 80 & 90s for me to check out on MAME. :)

Randomly today when loading into some games I get a message saying that my drivers are out of date. What confuses me is it is telling me to install the AMD drivers but I'm 97% sure I'm using the mesa drivers. Also the games play fine with no issues noticed

I'm the dev of a script that installs Mod Organizer 2 for Linux users, and I'm looking for some help in getting the file browser to use Dolphin (or whatever the user has set as their default, xdg-open?) instead of proton/wine's default file browser.

I've been looking into the prefix registry, following some guides (linked below) and adapting them in hopes of getting things working, but those efforts have been fruitless. Doesn't seem that the commands are being executed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi.

This is an linux manjaro user tutorial for modding skyrim in a linux system. Feel free to add your opinions down bellow, and also if I commited any error.

I will include in this tutorial the setups for Bodyslide and Pandora, as the game is literally unplayable without it.

First of all, download the skyrim trought steam (this steps will only work in the steam version). After Skyrim is downloaded, open it up for the first time, this step is necessary to setup the path to it.

After that, download in your apps manager the apps FLATSEAL and BOTTLES. Open flatseal after bottles is installed and give permisions to bottles access your files.

Now you open bottles. Click on the skyrim bottles who is already setup and the dependencies page.

In skyrim bottles dependencies page, you will need to install these as dependencies: .NET 6.0 (dotnet); C++ redistrituble 2019 (vcredist 2019); vcredist 2015-2022;

After that, you will need to open vortex and set up to manage skyrim se.

Close vortex and put SKSE files inside Skyrim folder. You can open skyrim folder trought steam properties of the game. For modded, skyrim, we will always open the skse version, so you must copy it and rename it as SkyrimLauncher.exe, so steam will always open the modded version of skyrim.

Open skyrim one more time and close it.

Now you will install the core dependencies for most mods from nexus. These mods are: All in one adress library, RaceMenu, SkyUI SE - Difficulty Persistence Fix, Fix Note icon for SkyUI, SkyUI - Ghost Item Bug Fix, SkyUI and Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition patch.

After these are installed, extract bodyslide folder in some place outside skyrim folder, and install pandora behaviour engine via vortex. Put the path for Pandora and Bodyslide via vortex (remember that the Virtual FIle System will maybe change your paths name. To flee from erros, put the path by navigating trought this virtual file system of the program.

In a folder outside pandora, make an folder named Pandora Output, i recommend it to be in the same place as where vortex put the installed mods. After that, open pandora via vortex and build once.

Now vortex will ask you about an mod named pandora output, install and enable it (the animations wont work if you dont enable it).

Remember to go to the plugins page and enable all plugins.

Now u can download all the mods you want! It was super hard for me and I expect you guys can manage it.

Hello! I recently installed CachyOS on my pc (Intel+AMD) and after some troubleshooting, it's fantastic! I also wanted to get it on my laptop, installation was fine, I updated everything, but, when I tried to play Dark Souls Remastered, I got hit by a very poor performance for even this laptop. On windows 11 in 720p with MSAA or nothing, worked in almost everywhere 60 (in some locations it was dropping to 50/45), but on CachyOS in same settings I was getting 40/30 fps. And also the desktop was also choppy on the laptop, but ig I can just deal with it, but the performance is just nope
My laptop and specs:
Lenovo ThinkPad T570
250gb windows 11
250gb CachyOS 6.17.7.3 with KDE Plasma 6.5.2
CPU: i7-7600U
GPU1: Intel HD 620
GPU2: NVIDIA GeForce 940MX
SSD 512GB

Any idea how can I fix this performance?

Hi,

does anyone of you have any experience on eldenaion or a similar game on linux? Niche games like these are currently the only obstacle preventing my friends from switching to Linux, and I would like to change that.

Does anyone know the pinout for the PCIE power connector? I was looking at using a UHP-350-12 to power it.

I downloaded and installed Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS for Nvidia for the first time today, and I installed the Pop!_OS (deb) version of Steam from the shop. I have been messing around with different versions of Proton, and all but one of my Steam games do not launch at all. I also got Lutris to view the logs when trying to launch games from there, and they all have this as the result when failing to launch a game.

Are there any other things I should be trying?

I've been using Fedora KDE for a little over a year. A number of months ago I got WoW working with Lutris. Tried to load WoW yesterday and it wouldn't work. Thought the recent update might have caused issues with Wine/VKD3D/DXVK or some such, and no matter which version I tried, I couldn't get it to work. Now, I think Vulkan or hardware acceleration, or my video card drivers are messed up.

I'm new to this, so I'll try my best to explain what I'm seeing.

Specs:

12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700KF ASRock Z790 Lightning WiFi Radeon RX 580 2048SP Fedora 42 KDE Kernel 6.17.7-200.fc42.x86_64

In the Lutris logs when trying to start WoW I get an error similar to Could not get the kernel driver version for device /dev/dri/renderD128: Invalid argument (VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER) and failed to query kernel driver version for device /dev/dri/renderD128 (VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER)

Digging further, I think Vulkan is using the wrong driver, or something isn't loading properly.

inxi -Fxzd shows:

API: Vulkan v: 1.4.313 drivers: llvmpipe surfaces: N/A devices: 1

llvmpipe is software rendering I believe. vulkaninfo | grep GPU seems to confirm:

WARNING: [../src/amd/vulkan/radv_physical_device.c:2025] Code 0 : Could not get the kernel driver version for device /dev/dri/renderD128: Invalid argument (VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER) TU: error: ../src/freedreno/vulkan/tu_knl.cc:392: failed to query kernel driver version for device /dev/dri/renderD128 (VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER) GPU id = 0 (llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.8, 256 bits)) GPU id = 0 (llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.8, 256 bits)) GPU id = 0 (llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.8, 256 bits)) GPU id = 0 (llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.8, 256 bits)) GPU id = 0 (llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.8, 256 bits)) GPU id = 0 (llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.8, 256 bits)) GPU id = 0 (llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.8, 256 bits)) GPU id = 0 (llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.8, 256 bits)) GPU id = 0 (llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.8, 256 bits)) GPU id : 0 (llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.8, 256 bits)) [VK_KHR_xcb_surface, VK_KHR_xlib_surface]: GPU id : 0 (llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.8, 256 bits)) [VK_KHR_wayland_surface]: GPU0:

And vkcube gives the same error as above and only displays a black box.

Selected WSI platform: xcb TU: error: ../src/freedreno/vulkan/tu_knl.cc:392: failed to query kernel driver version for device /dev/dri/renderD128 (VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER) Selected GPU 0: llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.8, 256 bits), type: Cpu MESA: error: MESA: failed to export sync file 'Resource temporarily unavailable' MESA: error: MESA: failed to export sync file 'Resource temporarily unavailable' MESA: error: MESA: failed to export sync file 'Resource temporarily unavailable'

But I am using amdgpu driver, again confirmed with inxi -Fxzd

Graphics: Device-1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Polaris 20 XL [Radeon RX 580 2048SP] driver: amdgpu v: kernel arch: GCN-4 bus-ID: 01:00.0 temp: 34.0 C

So I'm not sure where to go from here.

EDIT: Forgot to include vulkaninfo

On Arch i was using sc-controller, however, this project seems to be all over the place. The one i used is unmaintained, has tons of forks now and none of them are available on Fedora, so i'm looking for an alternative.

Steam Input does work if i add the game to Steam with Faugus Launcher. Games added by lutris don't work. I mean, they work, steam input on those games doesn't.

Any other non-steam solutions for Dualsense?

Playing games like Cyberpunk, Metro exodus the games just start to microstutter, all it needs is a restart and its fixed but anoying though.
I dont have mangohud or whatever other trick to fix it. Only playing it via Wine (latest version) and playing it on Lutris and the problems seem to occur only on Lutris and not Steam (using proton 9.04)

My specs:
DE: Debian Trixie Cinamon version 6.4.10
CPU: AMD ryzen 5 7600X3D
64 GB of RAM (yes, overkill i know)
GPU: AMD RX6800 Master 16 GB
Running at 60 Hz (due to old HDMI cable, but its gonna be changed this month)

Every other game on steam is playing just fine, but not on Lutris.
I have read something about a LD command, but thats using gamescope or steam.
