I have a steam deck, and the decky plugin manager has spoil me a little offering some functionally I never considered when I was in windows.

I am exploring what is it possible to do at Linux right now and I was wondering if there is anything like the plugins for steam for the desktop version.

My main wish would be to have the ProtonDB badges without having to go into the browser and check. Themes would be awesome, but it is not a necessity.

Is there any way of achieving this?

Hello, I just got Arch Linux on my new system which has the MSI PRO B760-VC WIFI HS BULK as the motherboard. I have RGB fans and a RGB ram stick. I installed OpenRGB but it did not work for me since it was only picking up my RAM stick but not my motherboard at all. I've tried running OpenRGB using sudo in which it also didn't work. I also used msi-rgb which didn't work aswell. I need help

Currently using a nintendo switch pro controller, didn't have an issue with it for a while, but recently steam keeps turning 'Use Nintendo Button Layout' to on, even though I keep turning it off.
No other setting appears to be changing.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I installed steam via the steam website, and am using GE-Proton10-7 installed via ProtonPlus
I don't believe I have changed anything to make this start happening.

On steam, I'm running the game as:

DKVK_HDR=1 gamescope --hdr-enabled -W 3840 -H 2160 -r 166 -f -- %command%

The game launches correctly, but I can't enable HDR inside of the game. I'm on Gnome 48 with HDR enabled.

I've also tried to just launch it with this, same result.

PROTON_WAYLAND_ENABLE=1 PROTON_HDR_ENABLE=1 %command% Did anyone succeed in running this game with HDR? submitted by /u/Zeioth

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to click on my plea for advice and read it :)

I have decided that I want to use some deck tracking software for Hearthstone, but upon some very basic searches ("using a deck tracker for hearthstone on linux"), I found that almost all of the advice involved running the game and the tracker through Lutris.

I have nothing against Lutris of course, I ran Hearthstone through it for a while. But one day after a full system update, the Battle.net client decided it could no longer access Blizzard's servers. Optimistically, I tried to reinstall it through Lutris again, but Battle.net could not be installed, always pausing at 45% before I could even launch it to install Hearthstone.

After a lot of combing through the internet, I concluded this was most likely an issue with my Wine installation, and since I didn't want to totally screw up my Wine (it was working fine for other purposes, and while I know enough about Linux to tinker, I am far from an expert and don't fully understand how Wine works), I decided to just run Battle.net as a non-Steam game through Steam, and that worked like a charm. Even smoother than when I ran it through Lutris, with slightly fewer crashes and disconnects (those were probably downstream from the issue with my wine installation too, if I had to guess).

But now this has led me to my issue: there doesn't seem to be any advice online for using deck trackers while running the game through Steam using Proton. I haven't tried yet, but I thought I'd consult the wisdom of the masses in the hopes that someone out there has already tried this and can advise me on the best way to go about it, and save me the hours of tinkering with potentially no positive results. Should I try to run the deck tracking software using Proton as well, since that is how I am running Battle.net? Should I even bother going about it, if I'm not using Lutris?

I am running Garuda Linux, using KDE Plasma DE and Wayland. I apologize if I left out any other important information that might help people give me advice, but I can't imagine my hardware and such would have much relevance here. Thank you very much to anyone who takes the time to answer this! It is obviously not urgent but I appreciate anything people contribute.

What I see when looking at the settings.

Attached is a picture of what I see in the settings. I was wanting to save a match id and it kept on failing. when you click the open save folder option, it looks like it opens the FS of the wine instance.

I ended up using OBS to get the clip, but you can transfer the match vod using the in game system so I would like to be able to use that feature if possible

Not sure if its enitrely relavant but I am using Fedora 42 on a amd cpu and gpu. Proton version version GE-Proton10-4

It's somewhat useless and the code is horrible, but it can download/extract/verify client files... sometimes.

Hello! I got a monitor recently, and I've noticed that It flickers like crazy, but only when FreeSync is active and only when set to 4k. It's connected to the Nvidia card on my laptop. The monitor is a Dell s2725qs. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to solve this, as it doesn't happen on Windows.

Trying to fix an audio issue freezing randonmly, i already update my Bios, but no changes. I look up for a solution and find that i need to change a setting in the bios called "Power Supply Idle Control" but couldnt find it(my motherboard is a ASRock B550M Pro4). the last solution i could try is change to an old kernel but my only question is if how much of security risks could i have if downgrade to an old kernel.

Hello. I am not new to Linux or my distro (NixOS) but for the life of me, I can't figure out why I have so many problems with gaming. \ When my system gets under some what heavy load in games like RDR2, it won't take long before it just freezes my entire PC, and a reboot is needed. And if I'm just playing a lighter game like Rocket League my PC will experience the same freeze after 30 minutes to an hour. \ It could be that my system is using all my RAM or perhaps getting very hot, but ideally this would just bottleneck performance, not cripple the entire system. \ On Windows my PC doesn't freeze, like described. \

I looked in journalctl but it's just so filled with information that I couldn't find anything I thought was useful.

Specs: OS: NixOS 25.05 DE: KDE Plasma 6.3.5 WM: KWin (Wayland) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 [Discrete]

/Thanks for any help :)
