Can anyone vouch for HoloIso? Or another distro that can main SteamOS GameMode?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Apr 2024 - 10:31pm

Specs; CPU 3600x GPU 7600xt

Over the past couple of months I've tried running first Bazzite, which was a great experience until an update introduced brutal dualsense controller instability that locks the controller and prevented games from exiting cleanly or the controllers from reconnecting until a system restart.

A month ago I switched over to Nobara, it ran super well right away and a few small issues bazzite had (mangohud not picking up my GPU stats) and some other minor things.

Then last night an update introduced dualsense instability that locks up the controller and prevents the games from exiting cleanly.

I already lost my 55 hour dark souls playthrough to this. I'm 55 hours into elden ring and I just want a distro that won't freeze up my controller lock up my game and corrupt my save file because an update is a bit too bleeding edge.

I've been considering holoIso but I don't have telegram to access their support so I've been on the fence. I am open to other suggestions though, I just want a safe reliable SteamOS interface system to run on my HTPC.

Thanks fellow linux gaming enthusiasts!@

How can I find the reason why gamescope is not working under Debian but it did in arch

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Apr 2024 - 10:19pm

I need gamescope to stretch custom resolution to 1920x1080 in cs2, which worked in arch for both x11 and wayland. In Debian using gamescope and pressing cs2 launch button, it instantly closes, so basically doesn't launch.

Emulating xbox 360 on linux with Xenia does work

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Apr 2024 - 10:10pm

Yesterday i wanted to play guitar hero 5 and saw that Xenia emulator is windows only and there is no linux port. So here i go abiut getting it working.

I downloaded the newest windows port then added it to lutris as a windows game with ge-proton 25 (thats what i had installed, newer versions will possibly work too)

Then started it and opened gh5 iso file with it. Works fine :)

protonge.com is a fake/scam site

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Apr 2024 - 9:56pm

I just wanted to draw attention to this website, It is a fake scam site. Do not get Proton GE from here.

GE him self states on their Github that it is a scam

https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/blob/master/README.md

This was posted a month ago but I dont think it got much attention

https://new.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1bkhgwp/heads_up_fake_website/

If you are looking for an easy way to install Proton GE then use

or

Read the Redme I linked above.

Steam fails to launch on Slackware 15.0

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Apr 2024 - 9:30pm

I just installed Slackware 15 and correctly turned it into a multilib system by following the instructions on the wiki (No errors when installing it). When I run steam it just segfaults with no real error message, except for this output.

Question/confusion over Freesync and or VRR over HDMI?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Apr 2024 - 5:09pm

I have an AMD 6700XT connected via HDMI to a LG C1. Currently via windows, all features work such a freesync and HDR.

Looking at installing bazzite, does Linux currently support freesync and HDR over HDMI?

I’ve followed the news currently with the hdmi 2.1 spec drama but wasn’t sure if this also applies to Freesync premium capabilities. Thank you.

steam appmanifest behaviour

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Apr 2024 - 4:12pm

I don't want my Fallout 4 mod list to be broken with the upcoming update so I want to block it. The options seem to be either set steam to update the game on launch only, then launch the game externally with f4se, or to set the appmanifest file to read-only.

When I read-only the appmanifest file and launch the game steam just generates a new one. Is this expected behaviour? It does it when steam is in offline mode and also with internet disconnected.
