I wanna either play Genshin on Linux, or find a substitute
Maybe a tall order, but I wonder...
Let me explain: I love the combination of exploration, fast paced combat with skill and element combos, and cool characters. And climbing, can't forget that!
But I wish I could leave windows behind...
Maybe Skyrim with the proper mods, but that feels like quite the effort...

I made a guide to run Balatro Natively on Linux
It even has native Wayland support ! Tell me what you think about it or if it doesn't work for you. I'm gonna add a bit to it again but it's pretty much done. I might allow some poeple to add to it if they have good addtions.
Here's the link:

To anyone who's used xalia does it work in games proper? Like could i navigate the menu of say, unreal gold? Or is that not a thing?

Audio dropping on games through Steam
I’ve done a bit of googling and checking this sub, but I haven’t found a solution yet, so looking for advice if available.
Set up is Ryzen 3700x with MSI 6750xt mech, running Bazzite as the host and Steam for the games. Monitor is our 4K TV (Hisense) in the living room.
TV has a hdmi 2.1 input which I’d connected to, I initially had some issues with HDR, but swapped to using a DP to hdmi cable which seemingly helped with the HDR but the audio still randomly drops in and out.
It’s not on any one game, just in general (DOS 1&2, Hogwarts Legacy, Cyberpunk, Portia etc…).
There’s no audio issues when Windows is the host OS, Chimera was even worse, Bazzite seems to be much more stable than Chimera (and better with the HDR), but is still suffering this same audio issue?
Any ideas?!
Cheers.

8bitdo config software works with wine!!
This is the first time I've ever seen a windows-only software to configure gaming peripherals work on Linux. The software is portable and running the EXE with either Wine from my File Manager, or Proton from Steam, it just opens instantly on my Fedora.
The only catch is, you need to put your controller in dinput mode for it to work, the default xinput (which is what usually allows this to work so well on linux) won't read it for some reason. My controller is 8bitdo Ultimate 2.4hz (non-bluetooth) edition and for me I just turn it off, and press the home button while holding B. This allows both pieces of the software to work, the updater and the config software (separate programs). I'll add here that the windows-only command line XInputTest which reads your joystick's ms response time and polling rate also works on wine but out the box, no dinput required.
Is there another popular brand of controller/mouse/peripheral that allows to you map its buttons or fully configure it straight from Linux, or some sort of universal workaround that can do this? Like a solution for Logitech Ghub for example?

Keys randomly not working while playing Apex Legends
So two weeks ago I 100% switched to popOS and purged microsoft from my computer. Everything works great for gaming, except for one issue: sometimes, when I am in a firefight in Apex, keys start to not work anymore. I only noticed this with the WASD-keys, and it does usually happen when there is lots of stuff going on and I am also pressing lots of keys. More specifically, it happens WHILE having a key pressed, so for example pressing W and moving forward might make me stop moving forward without releasing the key. I tried to replicate it a few times already but it seemingly just occurs randomly. I don't really know what to try that might resolve the issue..
FYI: In fights, I regularly press the CTRL-Key for crouching, so I was thinking this might be doing something, but as I said, I have not been able to replicate it. It also definetly happens with A and D keys, so a hardware problem is very unlikely.

Wanted to download Valo, does it still not work on Linux?
Garuda Linux is AWESOME (Nvidia/hybrid)
I just wanted to bring more awareness to how awesome, and "just works" Garuda Linux is. Shifted the SSD install to a new computer with Nvidia graphics, ran the updater and now I can select which GPU to use on Lutris while Steam just starts the game with the Nvidia card automatically. Is freaking fantastic, I thought I would have to go back to Windows.
On the other hand I am not really learning much but I just want the thing to work sometimes, and Garuda almost always delivers in this.

Linux makes it easy to convert an old crt PC monitor to a 240p monitor without need for shaders.
thanks to /r/crtgaming for the tips to properly display SNES games on Retroarch and Linux Mint forums for the info needed for xorg.conf file to bybass monitor EDID data.
On Windows 10 you'd need special hardware for this.

I can't get proton to work
I'm in the process of moving from Windows and can't get my games to work. Games with linux builds work fine, but when I try to launch them with proton they just won't. I have a laptop running the same Arch + KDE, and the games work just fine there.
My current situation is I have 4 drives: 1 is and SSD for windows installation, 2nd is HDD for my data/games, 3rd is a small SSD just for games and 4th is an SSD for linux. The first three are NTFS formatted.
I tried:
- This solution https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows#preventing-ntfs-read-errors , but it didn't help + I don't know what to do if I have two drives with games (same logs)
- Different proton versions, didn't help (same logs)
- Moving games to 4th drive, still no luck (same logs)
- Deleting Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper), got "Failed to uninstall: missing shared content"
- Verifying integrity of files for Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper), it re-downloaded and stopped right at the end, now I can't launch anything
I tried launching steam from terminal, got these logs:

Steam Flatpak steering wheel and remote streaming
I’m moving to Fedora and many recommend using Steam Flatpak over RPM. Does Steam Flatpak work with the following:
Steering wheels and force feedback. Specifically, Fanatec hardware via hid-fanatecff to play Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, and other sim racing titles
Remote game streaming via Sunshine/Moonlight
If so, any setup tips?

It looks like we'll soon be welcoming a lot of new Linux users here
Finding the right combination for high refresh vrr on nvidia.
I’m new so some terminology will probably be incorrect. For context, I have an Intel 10900k, an RTX 3090, and a 4k 165hz freesync display. I went through setting up Arch with Wayland, Plasma, and the latest nvidia drivers but I realized quickly that Wayland does not work well with with my setup. Regardless of my settings, games and some programs flicker constantly. It’s worse at high refresh rates but still happens even at 30hz. So I changed to X11 running plasma, and now can run 165hz with no flickering but variable refresh causes my display to garble and do weird things. This is better for me but this worked perfectly in windows. I also have issues running the modrinth app on X11 for some reason and just get a completely white window. This is important to me because I publish content through that app.
My question is, is there a way to stop the flickering under Wayland with any compositor/desktop environment? If not, is there any advice for apps that have issues like this on X11 and is it possible to get vrr working at 165hz?
Any help would be awesome. I really don’t want to give up and install windows again.

Is there any way to make the NVIDIA driver bearable?
For some reference, here's my basic system specifications:
* NVIDIA GTX 1650 SUPER (TU116)
* AMD Ryzen 3500
* 16GB RAM
* I've used GNOME and Plasma, but mostly settled with GNOME due to some usability issues with Plasma. I've mostly stuck with Fedora as a distro, currently on Fedora 40 with GNOME 46.
The NVIDIA drivers are a complete and utter embarrassment. NVIDIA drivers can't even render a basic web page (WebKitGTK shows nothing, Vesktop literally doesn't appear, Blink/Gecko renders the previous frame creating jitter that can be remedied with the Vulkan backend) or canvas (Krita canvas flickering) without flickering or showing absolutely nothing. Gaming just flickers previous frames or has some embarrassing frame time graphs that are *never* flat. I never played Starfield due to the drivers causing the game to never launch. That bug was patched *months* later. Trying to run KDE, the driver sometimes just kills the display, not even tty works. Using X11 fixes several of these problems, but it just feels like a band-aid, and it never truly fixes the gaming performance. It feels like a reverse engineered driver, not an official one.
In fact, the actual reverse engineered driver, Nouveau, does a better job in the basic computing area. I'm genuinely excited for NVK's release along with Mesa 24.1 to be able to potentially abandon the hackjob that is the NVIDIA driver. No more tainted kernels, flickering, inconsistent frametimes, and smoother updates.
That's a little while away though, is there any potential remedies to get the NVIDIA drivers to work better that isn't just using X11?
