So I’m on fightcade, running through Linux on chromeOS

I’m trying to connect my Xbox one controller (through a micro usb cable) but it won’t recognize it, so I do some research and people say to try to run steam in the background, so I install steam and after a huge nightmare trying to get steam to actually work, I try to open fightcade again with steam in the background but it still won’t recognize my controller.

So I mess around with steam for a while, open settings, go to controllers and enable Xbox controller input (doesn’t do anything), then someone on the fightcade discord tells me to install “steam-devices”, so I do but for some reason installing steam-devices causes the steam launcher to uninstall, which makes it impossible to run steam while running fightcade.

I’ve looked this up but there’s extremely little information about this and idk where to go from here.

Any help with getting steam-devices to work while still being able to launch steam? I would also accept alternate solutions to getting my controller to work on fightcade. Thank you

Been very much enjoying the experience of gaming on Linux since I made the switch, pretty much everything has been smooth-sailing.

One thing that didn't end up working out of the box is the fact that I don't seem to have any program-specific icons in the panel (GNOME with Dash-to-Panel extension) when I'm playing games through Steam or through Lutris. Instead, it's just a white box with a cog in the middle.

Is there something specific that I need to do to get this working - I'm very surprised at least Steam has sorted this out automatically?

Hello everyone,

With windows 10 support ending on the horizon I've been looking into switching to linux (I've chosen to switch to Mint once support ends) and I've been looking into using the programs that i use now (on w10) on linux. Most of it looks like there is an easy way for it to work but others not so much.

Tablet support (wacom tablets) I have a drawing tablet that I still want to use to draw but there are no official drivers available for wacom tablets (or at least I didn't find any).

The second thing is VR support I've looked into it and it seems possible but it doesn't work for some people and you have to jump through alot of hoops.

I suspect Linux will be even better by the time im going to switch, but any ideas if it would be possible to do those things on linux when the time comes?

I have tried 5 games so far, and it's worked on all of them except for fallout new vegas.

Pistol Shrimp Games, founded by Toys for Bob veterans, have today launched the Kickstarter campaign for Free Stars: Children of Infinity which is a direct sequel to The Ur-Quan Masters (Star Control 2).

Sup boys I have tried a lot but now my options are exhausted.

The other day I was like Underground 2 would be sooooo sick on my tiny little steam deck so. I downloaded the CD rom and boot it up….. welp it didn’t boot up. An error message appeared “Please insert CD Disk” over and over again. Tried to download from another site still doesn’t work. I scouted the internet and found the CD fix. Downloaded it, tried it, still doesn’t work and pull up the same message.

By coming here I hope that this one dude who tried it and actually pulled it off can tell me how to fix that skill issue. Ask me anything about how I did it and I’ll answer. Help :(

Hi all,

Been trying to get my head around this all day. I have my speakers and subwoofer connected to the 3.5mm jacks on my X4 and the audio doesn't work. I've tried endeavourOS, Garuda and nobara. It works with 2.1 in Windows and weirdly enough the sub will work when I set it to 5.1 in Linux.

I know I'm just missing a simple configuration, but I've been searching all day trying various configs and edits to the conf files in /etc/pipewire

This stupid thing is stopping me gaming and it holds me back from switching completely because I love my sound and subwoofer too much to not have it right.

Has anyone had this issue with their X4 and resolved it?

I'm using steamtinkerlaunch to add Vortex to my Fallout 4 install on Steam, with GE-Proton8-25. I have STL configured to open f4se_loader.exe, which works fine as I see F4SE console and the game shows the F4SE version in the console.

Now, the problem is that it appears that there are a bunch of mods that are outright now loading when launching the game normally / through proton. But if when launching the game I click on the "Start Vortex" button on STL and launch the game from Vortex, all the mods load correctly.

Sadly I can't use that fix because when launching the game from Vortex it runs at 5FPS.

Any idea of what might be causing this?

I'm wanting to get a steam deck but have no idea which model to go for. I want to have good performance but also don't want to be spending a fortune on a console. I heard you can customise the storage and everything, is this true? If so, which model would be best for me?

I know I'm going to be suckered into PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs when it releases on May 8th, after previously being a Stadia exclusive.

Steam is installed with `dnf install steam` (so it's not a flatpak).

Nvidia drivers work without issues.

I can play games that have native Linux support - for example, Blasphemous and Turok.

Logs and tech info: github gist.

I tried with Proton Experimental (various beta versions too), Proton 9.0 (Beta), Proton 8.0-5 and GE Proton 9-4 (latest atm).

V Rising can run through Proton Experimental on Steam Deck.

I had error logs about missing `libcrypto.so.1.1` and `libnvidia-pkcs11.so.550.54.15` but I solved that with sym-link/copy to the path Steam looks for it.

If there's anything else needed, let me know.

As the title says, I'm getting poor performance in a few games. These games in particular are Spider-Man remastered, and Miles Morales.(Dodi and fg crack)

My setup : (laptop GPU : RTX 3060 Cpu : Ryzen 7 5800H 16GB ram OS : Nobara

Added these 2 games to steam. Running using proton-experimental. Tried proton Ge.

Both games run. But the problem is, I'm getting around 30-40fps lesser than I do on windows. On windows I usually get around 90-110fps, but on linux I'm getting only around 50-60fps.

Help.

Thanks in advance.

Caves of Qud from developer Freehold Games and publisher Kitfox Games is approaching the 1.0 finishing line, and so their roadmap towards the release has been put up and it sounds really exciting.

Many people talk about games which cant run in linux. I wanna now the opposite, just by curiosity. Might and magic vii for blood and honor was my first rpg. I can run the gog version in m$ spyware no problem but my cds wouldn't run. Jade empire is another example. The steam version runs flawsly in linux and cant run in windows. Diablo 1 and 2 too.

​

In general this only happens with very old games.

RetroDECK is one of the simplest options for getting various emulators set up on Steam Deck and Desktop Linux, and the latest release has lots of fun improvements to check out.

Canonical is gearing up for the release of the next LTS (long term support) version of Ubuntu, with a first Beta now available for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat).
