Need Help for Steam deck - Linux.
I am connected with my Sony Bluetooth headset (WH-XB900N). This works fine until I join a call in discord or go into Voice & Video settings in discord. Now the BT headset is not recognized and the other output keeps reactivating. This results in audio coming either from my monitor or steam deck instead of the headset. When I close discord the headset immediately activates again and works fine. I did not have this problem before and played games with friends while using discord and BT headset. I would love to get this resolved.

Heroic Launcher Setup Help
Hello guys, can you help me setup the Heroic Launcher? I've been searching but I still don't see how to make it work. I want to store my games into my second drive. I already installed flatseal as I read some post that I need it if I installed the heroic from flatpak.

Dual-boot with storage pools
I've been toying with the idea for a good while, but I'm at the point now where I want to try and game on Linux on my main PC where possible (I already have a Steamdeck and that works great).
However, there are still games that I play very frequently that only run on Windows so I'll need to keep that installation around - hence my consideration to dual-boot.
My current setup on Windows has an array of 3 disks all pooled together using Windows Storage Spaces which works great - I love the convenience of not having to manage utilisation across multiple disks. If I were to migrate 100% over to Linux I'd simply go with ZFS as I use that in my home server and it's been flawless since I started using it.
The situation I'm arriving at now is that I'd love to continue using a storage pool in some capacity, but I don't believe there's any version of that which features support for both Linux and Windows at the same time. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
Has anyone come across this situation before? If so, what was your route out of this? My current best-solve is to run ZFS on most of the drives and then just have one that Windows has access to for the subset of games I need to store. It would then be a matter of moving those games individually to the pool if (hopefully when) they feature Linux support.
Unfortunately, ditching Windows completely isn't a solution, I'm not willing to give up games I enjoy simply because they don't support Linux.

The Heroic Games launcher should seriously consider adding Itch.Io support
Itch.Io embodies everything great about the Linux ecosystem and unrestricted creativity
With the new forced kernel-level anti-cheat implementation Winnie The Pooh Fanclub Ltd S.A. GmhB Inc. Corp Ex. (Epic Games in layman terms) introduced, it's safe to say they that they not only not give a single 🦆 (mallard, what were you thinking?) about Linux, but are outright hostile towards it and we can expect anytime now a full-on BAN of everything on anything resembling Linux.
Prime Gaming doesn't seem to be any friendlier towards Tux lovers and the amazing people behind this project should honestly consider swapping the two with other platforms (GOG is perfect GOG is life hss hss hss)

Ray tracing crashes BazziteOS, not working whatsoever (AMD GPU)
So, I just got an AMD RX 7900 GRE in order to make a console-like PC.
I have tried lots of games on windows, chimeraOS, and bazzite, and bazzite is the only one giving me this issues on some specific games.
Elden ring on windows and chimera OS work perfect, 60fps at 1440p at high settings, and 55fps same settings but with high ray tracing. But on bazzite, at 1440p high settings and even medium settings, I'm getting plenty of fps drop and doesn't even maintain a consistent 60fps, it's always fluctuating from 58fps down to 50 up to 5t etc. And, as soon as I turn on Ray tracing, the whole system crashes, I get a stuck Elden ring logo or black screen when startinh the game, and the system reboot by itself or I have to reboot it manually.
Cyberpunk 2077 work perfect on all 3 OS, but as soon as I turn on Ray tracing, I get a black screen and the PC either reboot itself or just get stuck on the black screen.
And, lastly, dead space remake, work perfect on W11 and cOS, but on bazzite, it takes ages to load, like literally, 10 minutes or so to just start the game, and, the menus are slow, super slow like 2-5fps, and in game it runs the same like 5fps, and then after a few minutes it crashes, whether ray tracing is turned on or off.
I have tried proton experimental, latest proton GE, launching the game from desktop mode, and even changing the launch options of the games on steam. Everything is up to date, all software update, apps updates, etc.
I would love to fix the problem and use bazzite, since I don't like chimeraOS too much because of gnome, and I like customization themed and the use of wallpaper engine of KDE, and need the desktop mode to browse and stuff and I just don't like the desktop mode of chimeraOS.
I have tried nobara, but it's not as straightforward as cOS of bazzite, it doesn't have a straightforward game mode and even I tried it my controller wasn't working then with the correct apps and drivers.
So, any help will be appreciated.

Nvidia optimus/prime working (but why and in what way) rx480 slot 1 / gtx1070 slot 2
I have gotten Nvidia prime what seems to be working by using "prime-run steam". Then I use a launch argument for Left 4 Dead 2 "prime-run %command%!"
Then checking nvtop it shows both my rx 480 & gtx 1070. The 1070 utilization is around 70% at a normal clockspeed and the 480 is around 5-10% at a base clockspeed like 500mhz or something.
The gameplay for l4d2 feels great (not any better) and nvenc worked out of the box regardless even though the 480 is my display and the 1070 isnt hooked up to any hdmi port.
Basically my questions/thoughts are:
Are they sharing the workload of the game (which i don't think because 480 is down clocked)
If the nvidiagpu is doing the work could I technically use DLSS using an amd card (in terms of whats hooked up and if all the drivers was there and the gpu to support)
is this bad or not worth it in any way apart from heat and energy
is it even working or its just buggin
and a very important question. Is it doing what I explained and think its doing or am I just lost
edit - turns out both gpus boost clock

Proton help, combining two compatdata folders into one?
I want to use compatdata folder from one Steam game in one non-steam game, it's a mod to that Steam game but it's using separate .exe file. The problem is that I want them both to use the same savefiles/configs that are located in appdata which are separated by Proton. Is there a way to do it?

Which is better for amd ryzen 9 6900hx or amd in general?
Hello partners
I'm looking for a distro for my minisforum um690 machine, which has a Ryzen 9 6900hx processor. The problem is that there are many distributions that work for kernel reasons (for example, Ubuntu in version 22.04) and I have tried different distros focused on gaming, which is what I want this mini PC for. The problem is that I would not know how to distinguish which kernel will be best for my machine, since my knowledge is not enough.
I leave the kernel of each distribution here, in case you can help me. They all run well on my machine, but I would like to know which one fits best.
Nobara 39: Kernel 6.7.0-204.fsync.fc39.x86_64 (Wayland)
Pika OS 04.24.05: Kernel 6.8.3-pikaos (X11).
Regatta OS: Kernel 6.8.2-lp155.14-default (X11).
Any suggestion or recommendation is welcome.

Getting an 80-button+axis HOTAS (Joystick + Throttle) to work on linux
I have a Winwing Orion 2 HOTAS and it seems to work just find with evtest and Jstest, all buttons and axis work as intended. but i'm having trouble getting them to work on games through wine, games like Falcon 4.0 and Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3.
it seems that not all buttons/axis are detected by the game like in evtest
these two games detect the throttle and joystick as separate devices but assigns them the same button numbers, for example if the trigger in the stick is button 0, and i assign it to fire the gun, then button 0 in the throttle will also fire the gun
anyone can shed some light into how inputs that are more complex than a gamepad work?

Released Linux version of my game
Hey guys. I just wanted to tell you that my small indie game is now available on Linux. Building it from Game Maker was quite a challenge, especially since I lack a strong technical background. After struggling with wsl without much success, a friend stepped in and helped me build it using a vps.
It has been tested on Ubuntu 22.04 and now available on Steam: Another Bar Game.
Previously, I released my debut game Dude, Where Is My Beer? which is also available on Linux. It's a point-and-click adventure game created with Visionaire Studio , which had a super easy Linux export possibilities :)

tips for useful options?
I came across advice on increasing vm.max_map_count for "better gaming".
Can anyone else suggest interesting options?
