Why does my Vial keyboard freeze in Ubuntu?
I bought a Cheapino v2 and used it on Windows 11 without any problems.
I've started using Ubuntu again, and my keyboard freezes whenever I leave it alone for a few minutes.
I've already done some basic configurations as suggested by GPT (qmk-rules), but I'm still having these problems.
Has anyone else had this problem? My friends who have custom keyboards and use Unix said they don't have these problems.

Gaming on Linux
My experience with gaming on Linux has been a bit challenging, but I believe it’s worth it. My first attempt was with Pop!_OS, which was game-ready and provided improved graphics performance on my Intel UHD 620 laptop. However, when I switched to Zorin OS, I encountered problems. It took several updates before I was able to fix a DirectX crash issue on Steam.

Theophany is a desktop client for managing and launching game collections on Linux.
Hey everyone, I've been a Linux user for over 20 years and I really wanted to start giving back to the open-source community I love.
This is why I'm developing Theophany. It's a desktop app which started as an idea for a modern way to manage your giant emulation ROM collections, but it's grown into a bit more. The idea is a familiar one, but we need one of our own.
Currently I encourage everyone to give the initial release a try and let me know what you think. This is an alpha release so expect some hiccups, but it's very functional.
I'm really interesting in your feature requests, and of course bug reports.
A quick list of features
- Support for all your ROMs and emulators. Add games to the collection, setup the emulator profile. Link them together and start playing.
- Rich metadata support with IGDB integration. Easily pull high quality artwork and metadata for your collections.
- RetroAchievements integration. Track your progress within the library, and see a dashboard of your recent games. Also a great source of metadata and artwork.
- Search and play game trailers, reviews, and more with yt-dlp integration.
- Built-in Flatpak games store. Easily install and integrate into your collection.
- Import your installed Steam, Heroic, and Lutrs games into Theophany. Support for pulling in your full libraries coming soon..
- Add Windows games to the library with umu integration.
- Fast and small, written in Rust and QML

Distro for an old gaming PC for a young kid
Right now my kid and I mostly play Minecraft Bedrock coop using the Linux Bedrock Launcher on my gaming PC (Ubuntu) and his ancient laptop (popOS), which runs it very poorly, often sub 30fps.
I'm getting back my old gaming PC for him:
- i5-4670k
- DDR3 8 or 16gb (can't remember)
- 256gb sata SSD
- AMD Rx580 GPU (8gb)
We might also play some Rocket League, maybe some indie 2D games like Unrailed.
Which distro should I go with? Is anything specifically better for older PCs? Don't really wanna tinker too much with the OS. Thanks!

[CROSSPOST] Not able to boot Windows using ujust setup-boot-windows-steam -> "Selected boot device is disabled in BIOS setup"
Valheim using Proton and when using a bow it won't let me draw the bow. It just automatically loose the arrow.
I've been problem-solving this problem for a couple of days now. It's not my mouse as my left click works just fine in other games. I even switched my mouse out to see if it was the cause of this problem.
When I pull back on my bow to aim and shoot there is a constant pull until I loose the arrow normally. What started to happen this week is that I pull out my bow and pull back by holding down the left click on my mouse and the game just automatically shoot the arrow. This means I can't hit anything with a bow and arrow.
If I switch the compatibility over to Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout) I can now draw back on my bow but it refuses to read my mouse run button. I try to run and my character just stops. I run just fine with this button on Proton but I cannot shoot a bow.
I would prefer to run Valheim on Proton as this is how I have my mods set up for. Any ideas on how to fix this?
I'm running Linux Mint.

Newbie having issues with multiple windows
Just started using Linux and was told Mint cinnamon was best for a total newbie but I'm running into an issue. Does mint have a fix for not being to move the mouse out of the game window to a different monitor without massive issues in game?

Games are running slow on linux and weirdly enough changing my graphics to be higher or lower dont seem to change the lag as much as i would expect
i just got linux a few days ago and am wanting to make the full shift but im currently still settings things up and im noticing i am having ALOT more lag on linux when trying to game than on windows, so far the 2 games ive tried is roblox (using the sober port) And warframe using steam and proton and roblox is barely playable and warframe on its lowest settings isnt and i dont know whats causing it and i do notice that my ui out of either game also gets slower like i notice my mouse gets slower and my audio on a youtube video gets glitchy
I am running a dualboot set up where windows is on one partition and linux is on another and i installed a seperate version of both games on each partition and ive swapped between linux and windows a few times to make sure it wasnt just that something had borked while i was setting up linux and transfering files from windows to linux

Is there a need for a music control widget in linux gaming?
Like how windows has a clunky, but existing game bar with many functionality such as screenshots, recording tools, music control, I was wondering if Linux has this, or needs this as well? I have a project called hyprwave on GitHub, and it basically uses gtk4 and gtk4-layer-shell to overlay on other windows. The bad thing is, the system i am developing on it, has really old hardware, no GPU, intel i3 4th gen, and it's a laptop (I use old systems because then it forces me to optimise, it's a dell Inspiron 11 3148). So, I can't test myself, even Terraria crashes for me. So, the main ask was -> is there a need? My thought of the use case was perhaps in relaxing games or some other long winding games where you might need to put on your own music, but can't switch back and forth between your game and music player. And another ask-> if there is, could it be possible to test it on your system with any game to see how it works? That's all I'd like to know, thanks. This is the GitHub link-> https://github.com/shantanubaddar/hyprwave

Some games run fantastic and some run like garbage
I recently installed Linux mint and I got everything set up and launched resident evil 4 and it doesn't run well. It stutters horribly. Then I laughed cyberpunk 2077 and it arguably runs better than on windows. My question is, do I just need to cycle through proton versions to see if it helps or do I just resign to my fate?
