I was curious, aside from anti-cheat, what things that are currently a PITA for you to deal with if or when you have developed for Linux. Is it easier than Windows? Or does Wayland or other Linux related things make you want to have your legs ran over by a train?

Hello all, I recently did the switch from Windows to Linux (Cachyos and KDE) and there's one problem I've spent the last week trying to fix that I can't find any solution.

Is there any way to keep battle.net open and have my pc go inactive/sleep?

Currently i use Heroic Launcher for battle.net. I tried Lutris and it has the same problem. I have bottles installed, but i would prefer to not use it.

I know I could just close battle.net after I launch a game so my pc would go to sleep/inactive once I'm done gaming, but it gets annoying when I play Diablo II I have to change server for trading.

The big problem other than the fact that it keeps my PC active, is that I don't receive push notification from discord.

systemd-inhibit doesn't show battle.net in the list, so it seems that it keeps my pc awake in the same way moving my mouse or using my keyboard would?

The author is no longer maintaining it and I'd very much like to find a replacement so I can manually manage my fan curves.

Thank you!

I have downloaded a quacked crusader kings III native Linux version but when I try to add the game to Heroic, the Launcher doesn't seem to detect the game's executable. How can I add this native linux executables to Heroic? Pls help, I searched everywhere and haven't found an answer

This is how the file looks when I click to choose the executable path in Heroic

Here's how it looks normally on my file browser. You can clearly see the game's executable

Bought basically a whole new computer at Microcenter, I had bought 9800x3d last year and and have bought the rest of the computer now. My old computer is a 12400f and 6800xt. Only the ssd will be moved to the new system. My understanding based on my research is that the kernal should take of everything and everything will be fine. However if think saw somewhere that switching cpu's could cause issues with microcode or the motherboard chipset could cause some issues. But I wanted ask to see what people who have done something similar what their experience was.

edit: new GPU is 9070xt and the distro is Nobara

Hi All, I have read that this wheel can work in linux but my efforts have hit a brick wall... I can see that you have to run the following command to get into PC mode:

sudo usb_modeswitch -v 046d -p c26d -M 0f00010142 -C 0x03 -m 01 -r 01

After running that command the wheel does a calibration and changes to c26e which is expected. The oversteer application does not see any wheel attached and I have tried dirt rally which also fails to see the wheel. A lot of the guides say to use new-lg4ff driver but the readme for new-lg4ff says that it does not work with the xbox version and that support is already in the kernel from 6.3 onwards. My question is, does anyone have this working on kernel 6.17.x or higher? Thanks.

I moved from Arch to CachyOS without formatting my /home to save large files. It caused terrible, time-consuming issues by inheriting old config files.

🛑 My Problems (and the Culprit)

1. DualSense Controller made games launched trhu heroic to crash when trying to use dualsense controller:(CP2077 instantly froze upon controller input)
   • Fix: DELETED and recreated the corrupted Wine Prefix.
2. Broken HDR Calibration: Color/Graphics settings were non-functional under KDE hdr callibration tool
   • Fix: erased Conflicts in inherited desktop config files (~/.config/)

✅ THE BEST PRACTICE

To avoid carrying over these conflicts, do not keep your old /home partition untouched, at least erase everything from /.config ; /.local ,etc

You can keep your files: video, music etc, but not config files.

If you already migrated, manually delete all old game prefixes and clear system cache folders like ~/.cache/ and desktop config folders like ~/.config/

Hello I want to switch to linux so with CachyOS as my distro of choice but I am not sure which filesystem I should use.

I really want snapshoots just in case something breaks I heard btrfs is the way to go for this. I also heard that btrfs is slower and bad for the life cycle of an ssd.

So I thought would it be a good idea to only have btrfs for /root and choose ext4 for the /home where my games and programms are installed. Because in case something breaks having snapshoots on /root would be enough? You wouldn't need snapshoots for /home to fix your system in case somethings breaks right?

Arch wiki recommends doing so for better performance. I have no idea how to do it with Heroic Launcher.

Running latest cachyos with i3-wm.

Hey all, I've seen people use OS pickers to choose between their Linux/windows installs. My suspicion is that these exist in the bootloader (MBR or GRUB). I have a separate NVME for both OS, would I be able to do this? Because I'm not sure if the bootloader would even be able to "sense" an OS on a different disk, so I think this OS picker menu is probably just for disks that run another OS on the same disk, but a different partition.

Am I right, and is my only option bios? And if I'm not right, and I CAN do it, could someone share the name of what I need to install so I can look it up?

Hello, I'm building a new pc this black friday season and i only need a gpu now. It is imperative for the gpu to be 260mm max, because of my case, so the highest i can go is a 5070 or a 9070xt 16gb

If there were smaller 9070 models they would be a no-brainer, but this isn't the case. I have the funds for a 5070 but i have heard nvidia gpus lose up to 20% performance on linux in DX12 games (ouch) and are very buggy etc. I don't know how much of that is sensationalism or real feedback. Should i get the 5070 for being the better gpu overall, or save and get a 9060xt 16gb? I intend to use either Cachy/Nobara/Bazzite.
