I've heard this controller works out of the box but I can only get it to work if I set it to Android mode. If I set it to Xbox/PC mode Linux recognises that an Xbox controller is connected by USB but nothing happens when I try to use it. What's going on?

I've been using BTRFS for years before I completely switched over to Linux from windows as there was a BTRFS driver for windows. I've been windows free for about 3 years now and finally have the download speed to really fill my HDD. What's the best configuration for speed and maximum storage? I've read forced compression is a no-go but I want to hear everyone's opinion.

I have a steam deck and while this sounds silly I am trying to mod among us. The issue is I can't find linux mod files only windows. I am trying to avoid spending $100 to install a new 1tb ssd and doing a fresh windows install. While it would be really cool to do I would like to tackle that at a later date when i want to take on the task of doing sims 4 with all the cc and mods. Is there an actual way to acheieve this or am i asking for something the steam deck cant do?

Like the title says, Hades II (Platinum on ProtonDB) is giving me this error in the logs when I try running it before crashing instantly on launch.

X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 149 () Minor opcode of failed request: 4 Serial number of failed request: 639 Current serial number in output stream: 642

I've tried every version of Proton, including bleeding edge. I don't know how to read/diagnose X errors. What else can I do?

Thank you!

(ps. sorry about the preview image I don't believe there's a way to remove it)

I'm having this annoyance with Wayland where if I run a game inside one workspace and then I switch to another one, even though I can still hear the game audio for most games, it gets put into this weird suspended-mode where most loading and gameplay seems to freeze while the game is still running.

This is incredibly annoying at games such as Baldur's Gate 3 where if I move my character somewhere and switch workspaces (which puts the game in this weird suspension), upon me returning my companions who always follow me seem to arrive at the destination while my main character is still at the start, and only moves while the game is in focus. That, and the game just doesn't load while I'm in a different workspace if I'm in a loading screen.

This does happen with other games as well, and I've tried utilities such as gamescope or virtual desktop through bottles, but it doesn't help. On Xorg (tested with i3 and awesomewm), the game does run normally when I'm in a different workspace so I do believe this is an issue with Wayland.

I've tested this with both Sway and Hyprland and both wm's have the same behavior, and my distro is Arch.

Any ideas?

AMD 6700xt with 5900

Was running the latest version of Bazzite over hdmi to LGC1 and all was working correctly within game scope with both 4K120 and HDR. Now, game scope won’t detect my monitor is HDR capable and frequently flashes green at the top. When I switch to desktop mode, no issues with either HDR or the higher refresh rate options.

How was it caused?

I need to specify that I run ASUS TUF A15 with GTX NVIDIA 2050 RTX, I installed this recently, i had some issues but nothing that want to make me switch but this one is now is a deal breaker. All I did was config some settings in lutris for Need For Speed Most Wanted. By changing the wine version to GE proton or something similar to that. Which for some unknown reason. Caused a black screen.

What I Tried To Do After That

I did a hard reset and start on a different version, same issue appeared. Did this mutiple times but no change. I tried to see if I can view the files in windows with 7-Zip but it doesnt even show the content in the list. I was hopping that I can atleast take my home file so I can switch to a new distro no problem but now I worry that might not be an option.

Extra Info

I heard the main problem was because that windows would screw up the partitions in duel booting in updates but that seems very unlikely the issue since I installed Bazzite on a seprate SSD.

Any Help is Appreciated

If anyone knows how to deal with this problem or at least help me access those home files, I'll be greatful and I'm going to immideately switch back to Nobara once this is over.

I want to switch from Windows to Linux and I want to know if it's possible for games that require Easy Anti-Cheat to run on Linux

Me and my gf like to play minecraft together on a LAN server hosted from her Macbook. I recently switched from Windows 11 to Linux POP!_OS. We used to have almost no problems back when I was on Windows however now the server only shows up rarely like once a week. We've tried everything. We have set the JVM arguments in her minecraft launcher to prever ipv4 and disabled her firewall, and I have disabled ufw on my PC. Has anyone experienced similar issues?

Btw, YES! we are on the same network:)

Title says it all, but for some mroe details - Battlefront II gets past the EA App, loads into a black screen, and then crashes without fail. Titanfall 2 doesn't get any further as it fails to boot at all with EA giving me a vague "failed to boot" error. Tried running things under Experimental, 9.0, 8.0, nothing works.

Anyone able to give some sort of specific advice? Titanfall 2 used to work great but now it just doesn't work at all.

Hello, So I've been trying to get into Linux as of late. Because I heard some good stuff people said with it

First,I like to preface that I do have some Linux experience through WSL and doing server hosting with AWS and Azure.

With that experience, I often update the distro before doing anything. Here's my experience

Specs Laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Ryzen 5 4600h GTX1650

My first attempt at it was with Pop OS.

So far so good, And then Pop Shop was bugging out, search cause infinite loop, some items when click for full page, cause it to crash or closed.

Pop shop doesn't show some packages and even flatpak.

My wireless mouse doesn't work at all sometimes.

Installed KDE on it, and it cause more issues because I didn't know you should only use 1

Ended up wiping it

Second attempt, Fedora with KDE Software manager was fine.

Discord screen share dialogue Box bombarded me over and over. So I couldn't even use it

When setting to a secondary monitor ONLY, the system would lag the hell out

And issues with audio equalizations

Wiped

Third attempt, Ubuntu

Most of the journey was fine surprisingly, With experience, I learn to use Easy Effect. I ignore Software Center and download Gnome Software from terminal and manually add Flatpak.

I was finally set up

Now, gaming. Here's the kicker to my balls.

If you have an NTFS partition drive for your games. Just don't bother. Just don't even bother to use Linux.

Linux has very poor support to NTFS. Especially with Steam.

I can get Gog pre-installed games running. Steam games I couldn't as Wine couldn't open the executable from the NTFS.

I don't have a spare drive to move files over to format it to a non NTFS drive. So I couldn't do much about it.

So here I am now. I still wanna give another attempt at Linux, this time, Mint. I will use Mint, or maybe another distro if recommended, any advice I should be aware ahead of time?
