R2 (right trigger) causing left mouse click all the time
So basically I'm gaming on bazzite desktop on my new PC connecting a dualsense edge controller. I noticed that by default the conteoller works (touch pad and trigger as mouse) which was cool
my issue is when I enter steam clicking R2 on my PS controller shows up for a split second, left click and then disappears. the problem is that WHY is this happening? I don't want mouse mode.
Because it even happens in all games... for example a game that requires clicking R2 to trigger ultimate sometimes counts as left click and for a moment the icons on screen switch from controller (X A Y B) to keyboard inputs (R Q Z etc...) for a moment until I register any input on controller then it goes back so whenever i click the right trigger this keeps occurring...
any idea how to stop this? I tried searching and couldn't find any similar problems so I'm lost on this one...
Tried disabling desktop layout on steam. Didn't work
Tried disabling the other layout (forgot the name) and that didn't work + could no longer press PS button to go to.home screen so it was a no.
My only assumption is that it is caused by bazzite because of its default controller connection?

questions about gaming on linux after complete switch from windows
I just made my compete switch yesterday night and now about to install the first game deadlock... but i have no idea how I should go about the drivers and if they work out of the box like in windows. I have heard and read in faq that proton works even with windows only games in steam... I am curious if the fps is better or worse on proton/linux... so if someone with the same(or different) distro could give me some tips on how to go after a fresh install it would be really nice...
Distro=gentoo(dont know how installing stuff is gonna be like since proton likely is in the repo)

Richard Burns Rally on Intel HD 4400
Hey , everyone. I play rbr rsf version on windows on my ancient laptop and it gives stable 60 fps on most stages at medium settings,720p. I tried making it work on MX Linux but couldn't. Is there a way to run this game at same performance as windows. My laptop is painfully slow on windows 10 , but works like a breeze on most Linux distros. I can't afford a new one , being a student in a third world country. Thank you.

Problem setting fan speed using LACT (or CoreCtrl) on rx7800xt under NixOS
Hello Everyone!
Lately I got gigabyte rx 7800xt second hand, and it has a problem of not reporting the fan speed correctly, it stays at 0rpm, or 16bit integer rpm...
Under windows, I can manually force the speed using MSI Afterburner by setting the fan curve and then turning on the "A" option, which is what makes the fans start following the curve
the magical \"A\" option that starts spinning the fans correctly
That is hovewer my secondary system I use only for playing games with anticheat...
Under my Linux (NixOS) I have tried using CoreCtrl and LACT, unable to set any speed manually, doesn't matter if I set it to automatic, curve, or static speed, it seems to still rely on the reported fan speed, not just setting the pwm. Is there any way to mitigate it? any way to force the fan speed other way? I do have overdrive enabled:
here is screenshots from LACT:
If anyone is willing to help, or share any ideas I'd be super grateful. Thank you all in advance awesome people!

I need to try more games, but what I've seen on my Debian is pretty good. What do you all think? Both distros have optimized kernels.

Update on the Adobe CC Installers Patch - Now the Collection Installer works too
Bins: https://github.com/PhialsBasement/wine-photoshop-installers/releases/tag/adobe-collections
Code: https://github.com/PhialsBasement/wine-photoshop-installers (TLDR for changes: msxml is even more lenient than previously thought, had to patch the implementation to reflect that)
Only ones which failed to install are Adobe XD and Fresco due to them being APPX/UWP applications.
Quick How-To
Option 1: Steam Compatibility Tool (Recommended)
Extract to Steam's compatibilitytools.d folder
mkdir -p ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d
tar -xzf proton-*.tar.gz -C ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/
Restart Steam
Then in Steam:
Add the Adobe installer as a non-Steam game
Right-click → Properties → Compatibility
Select the extracted Proton version
Launch
Option 2: Standalone (without Steam)
Extract anywhere
tar -xzf proton-*.tar.gz -C ~/proton-adobe/
Set up a prefix and run
export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-adobe
export PROTON_PATH=~/proton-adobe/proton-*
Run the installer
"$PROTON_PATH/proton" run /path/to/Adobe/Set-up.exe

black bar when opening/closing menu in big picture mode
ever since my first time using big picture mode on linux (about a year or two ago), ive been having this issue where opening and closing the menu bar makes this black bar appear. while it dosent cause problems other than being annoying, i was hoping i could get soem help here. i assume the problem here is caused by the fact that im using an nvidia gpu since this doesnt happen on the other computers ive had that use amd gpus, but im hoping this is still something that can be fixed.
distro: arch
kernel: 6.18.5
CPU: 12th gen intel core i7-12700F
GPU: Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060
gpu driver: nvidia-open-590.48.01-7
Mesa version: mesa 1:25.3.3-2
Wayland
problem persists whether or not i use gamecope
no VRR
desktop environment: plasma 6.5.5
problem persists on both the native and flatpak versions of steam.

Why do older versions of GE-Proton seem to have better support for video/audio codecs?
The vast majority of pre-rendered videos now play fine in vanilla Proton in my experience. But for the few games that still have problems (particularly with wmv videos), switching to the newest version of GE-Proton no longer seems to be the automatic fix it use to be. Either the game freezes where the video would otherwise play, or it plays but there's no sound.
Most recent example for me is Ninja Blade. The intro movie (wmv/wma) shows a test pattern on Proton 10.0-3, freezes on GE 10-28 and 9-27, video but no audio on GE 7-55, and GE 6-21 plays it correctly.
I don't know much of anything about how codecs work. I'm just wondering if maybe it's because of a legal complaint by MS or something technical. Weird to me is that there's also discrepancy in media players — in desktop mode Haruna plays the above video fine, but with VLC there's no audio.
