How to get Sims 4 on Cachy OS

vor 1 Stunde 24 Minuten

Hi, to start off I do not have linux myself, my boyfriend does. So idk if I spelt the name of his linux right haha, anyways, he’s been trying to get the sims 4 on his pc for about a month now and it doesn’t work at all. He can download EA and “install” the sims 4 but then cannot open the game, does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? He’s tried a bunch of things (i think) and nothing seems to work. He’s also tried using steam. Please give advice because I miss my sims (he deleted microsoft)

Marvel Rivals refuses to work on my system

vor 2 Stunden 7 Minuten

Hey all, I've been completely unable to get past the logo screen for a couple of months now. The problem occurs after a while of playing/playing and then quitting, I get the error shown in the image. Pressing cancel to debug doesn't actually pull up a debugger, just quits the game outright and pulls up the crash reporter. I'm really curious as to how something like this has happened, given I use the default Steam proton versions that I presumably haven't touched. I'd appreciate any help!

specifics:

  • I've used most of Steam's proton versions
  • I've looked at Proton DB, no one there seems to have my problem
  • The crashing happens even if I uninstall and reinstall
  • I've googled the error in the past and found nothing of value
  • specs are down below, in full (if there's a more pleasant way of adding this much text, I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone could let me know!)

If I need to give any more information, just ask.

And, thank you!

Modified Thrustmaster TWCS throttle inputs go beyond 32767 and are not read by jstest-gtk

vor 2 Stunden 31 Minuten

Kubuntu 25.04

TLDR: How can I scale down / offset the input from one axis of a joystick device?

I'm having a very specific problem in linux as a result of a hardware modification on my TWCS throttle. I have swapped in an upgraded throttle axis potentiometer as detailed in this post to fix throttle ghost inputs. While the dimensions of the potentiometer I'm using are physically an exact match, the new potentiometer has a wider angle, so the throttle movement covers less of the potentiometer's range than the factory potentiometer's. In windows this was not a problem, joy.cpl was able to calibrate accordingly, but in Linux I'm unable to correctly calibrate the throttle axis using jstest-gtk. The problem is that jstest-gtk caps the maximum input value from the axis at 32767. With the factory potentiometer this would no doubt be fine, but with the new potentiometer's larger range, the angle it reads exceeds what the factory potentiometer's did while the throttle is above about 50%. The result is that the cap of 32767 is reached before the throttle is actually completely forward, and because of the way jstest-gtk treats center points, the sensitivity in the 50-100% throttle range is double that of the sensitivity in the 0-50% range.

Here's a video of the issue (the axis in question is #2), with raw joystick inputs being read from evtest on the right, sdl-jstest on the bottom to show the raw data somewhat graphically, and jstest-gtk at the top. About halfway through I reset the jstest-gtk calibration to show what the throttle does with raw inputs.

https://reddit.com/link/1lyix1b/video/sl575i3e8kcf1/player

My question: How can I calibrate this axis since it goes past 32767? Could I possibly scale the input down before it reaches jstest-gtk? (I'm thinking about something like a bitshift to cleanly divide by two). If not, is there some way to calibrate it using some other software which does not have this limit?

Finally left windows

vor 2 Stunden 33 Minuten

Hi everyone!

As the title says, I finally decided to change my main OS, I chose Ubuntu because I'm already used to it, most of my servers run on ubuntu server.

I just got done customizing everything to my liking so now I'm setting up my games.
I noticed that on Linux my GPU (Nvidia 3080ti) is making a coil whining sound on demanding games, it never happen to me under windows.

Anyone knows what I could check and test to resolve this or there's nothing that can be done about it?

PS5 controller touchpad acts as mouse on Ubuntu (Moonlight client). How do I disable that?

vor 3 Stunden 18 Minuten

I’m streaming games via Moonlight from my main Windows PC to a Linux client connected to my tv (Ubuntu with GTX 1060). Everything is working well except that the PS5 controller's touchpad is controlling the mouse on the Linux side, which is causing issues with certain games. For example, when playing Spiderman with a PS5 controller you need to use the touchpad button the open the map. I want to disable only the mouse movement on the touchpad, and restore its original functionality.

Also, when streaming, Steam on the host pc detects the PS5 controller as a PS4 controller, so I’m not getting adaptive triggers or full DualSense support.

Any ideas how to:

  1. Stop the touchpad from acting like a mouse
  2. Get full DualSense features when streaming

Thanks!

Is that okay? I've searched on this sub and I tried installing the open source launcher on github but I couldn't get it to work. So I gave up and installed the game on hoyoplay. Will it get my account banned? I only just installed linux a week ago so I don't really know what I'm doing.

Help needed to see if the GPU selector on volt-gui works well

vor 5 Stunden 21 Minuten

I've been working on a tool that configures various Linux settings to try to squeeze out as much performance as possible, while keeping everything as user friendly as it can be.

The program now includes two renderer switchers (GPU Tab -> Render Selector), one for OpenGL and another for Vulkan. Example of how it works for OpenGL:
It uses glxinfo to get a list of available GPUs/renderers by testing various environment variables. It then saves the matching environment variables associated with each renderer string. Users can simply pick the desired GPU/renderer from a dropdown without needing to deal with the variables. Once the apply button its clicked the env vars are added to a script called `volt`.

The Vulkan selector works similarly, using vulkaninfo to identify and the Mesa Vulkan Layer to configure available devices (it works for NVIDIA too, i have myself a GT710 with the 470 drivers).

If anyone has a system with multiple GPUs and wants to give it a try, feedback would be really appreciated.
glxinfo is required for the OpenGL selector, and vulkaninfo along with the Mesa Vulkan Layer is needed for the Vulkan selector.

RC builds are available, as the switchers are very untested.
For source code, check the experimental branch.

What happend to the SteamVR Home?

vor 5 Stunden 24 Minuten

After more then a year I decided to play a VR game again.

But the SteamVR Home looks absolutely terrible. Also tried the SteamVR beta, as well as X instead of Wayland, but nomatter what I do, the SteamVR Home has a massive „tearing“ (not sure if it‘s the right word here) issue.

It was never good on Linux, but now it‘s really terrible.

Weirdly enough all games (both native and Proton) still work fine, no issues there.

I Have A Confession About My Linux Journey

vor 5 Stunden 56 Minuten

You know that moment when you finally take the plunge? You wipe Windows, install Linux (in my case, Fedora), and dive in, full of hope, excitement, and maybe a little fear.

I was ready. I'd watched all the videos, read all the blogs, and told myself, "I got this."

But then came that inevitable moment: I got stuck. Something that would’ve been obvious to me on Windows suddenly felt impossible to figure out. So yeah, I have a confession! I used ChatGPT.

And honestly? It helped. A lot. I’d ask a question, describe what I was trying to do, and it would usually give me a solid answer, sometimes even the exact command I needed. Huge time-saver when you just want to get back to doing stuff.

But here’s the catch:
It’s so easy to run a command, fix the problem, and move on… and forget everything. Unless you’re documenting it or asking ChatGPT to explain things like you’re five, it’s just:
“Something something terminal... now it works.” Until it doesn’t.

Compared to Google (which now also shows AI answers before a stack of outdated forum posts) or Reddit (which is chaos but often enlightening), ChatGPT gives one clean answer. But no community input, no broader context, no why.

So I adjusted.
Now I ask it to explain everything like I’m a beginner (cause I am), including risks, alternatives, and what the command actually does. That’s when it stopped being just a shortcut and became a genuine learning tool.

Not saying it's a replacement for man pages, forums, reddit or YouTube tutorials, but it’s earned a place in my Linux toolkit.

Curious how others feel:

  • Have you used ChatGPT (or other AI tools) for Linux troubleshooting?
  • Did it help you learn or just patch stuff?
  • Any horror stories? Big wins?

It will connect to bluetooth just fine, but that's no good because there's no vibration support and the rear paddles don't work. I updated the firmware but that did nothing. I saw on their website it support steamdeck so I tried plugging it into my steamdeck and it didn't do anything on that either.

visual glitches on CS2

vor 7 Stunden 18 Minuten

Good evening, I've had this lenovo ideapad for a couple months now, and decided to try CS2 on it (Its the only game i tried). I tried to replicate the glitch on windowed mode to check if i could see it in a screenshot, but the glitch didnt happen on windowed. Could this bencaused by a faulty gpu? some proton bug? Id like some opinions.

potentially important info: - CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS - GPU: Radeon 780M graphics - OS: Ubuntu 24.04 - bug happened on multiple screen resolutions and screen ratios(always fullscreen), but never in native resolution. - glitch appears sometimes when i open the menu or console, not while playing.

Question about Easyeffects

12. Juli 2025 - 22:53

Inside Phasmophobia (which relies on Proton) I have easyeffects_source as my default microphone.

The problem is when I launch the game and talk to other people without changing anything, my microphone doesn't transmit my voice it only produces crackling noises. Only when I open Phasmophobia's settings and re-select Easyeffects as my microphone does it sound normal again to other players.

I know the developers of Easyeffects advise against using Easyeffects directly in other applications

So my question is, what can I do? I'm almost certain this weird crackling issue is caused by some weird Proton initialization issue. How can I set Easyeffects as my default input source without directly using the easyeffects_source? I'm getting really tired of having to change my game settings every single time I launch the game

Is there any fix for this HDR bug in Stalker 2?

12. Juli 2025 - 22:42

I'm using a 7900xt/7800x3d. Cachy os running KDE and HDR on my OLED. Stalker 2 has presented as the only game exhibiting this bug. The bug being in highlights such as light bulbs,the color goes to blueish/pink where it should be the brightest. The game does not do this on Windows. Is there possibly a command fix of sorts to fix this? Has anyone else seen this? HDR works as intended everywhere else. Iv tried gamescope and Wayland. Does it in both.
