I am looking for a resource/site for configurations/settings for the multiple options we have for linux, ie Lutris, Heroic Launcher, Wine, Bottles, Steam, PoL....etc

We have protondb but is geared for Steam, WineHQ for native wine, Lutris has some configurations for installing some games/applications, PoL has some scripts but is there a site that advises configurations for all of them at once?

So if you have lets say, ARK SE for both Epic and Steam, you can go to this resource and see what configuration have known to work for either or, instead of hunt thru the interwebs to find anything mentioned for Epic on Linux thru whichever option and ProtonDB for Steam.

Or is this something that does not exist?

I think a centralized resource would be massively beneficial to the Linux community

I'm switching from Windows and have a problem with a controller: autoconnect doesn't work reliably (pressing the PS button). Usually it connects first, the LED on one controller turns white (should be blue) and then disconnects after a few seconds.

I have tried this:

1. trusting/pairing with bluetoothctl -> works until reboot

2. Repair -> same result

3. Reboot -> same result

4. Plug the Bluetooth adapter into a different slot -> same result

Is there anything else I can try to fix my problem? Thanks

No biggie and I know this might be a bit too much to ask for since it's rather amazing the game runs so well it does. But it doesn't hurt to ask.

So I currently play RDR2 by first running Rockstar Games Launcher from Steam with Proton and from there launch RDR2. Works like a charm so far. I use a Playstation Dualshock 4 controller connected via bluetooth. However in game it's detected as an Xbox controller showing Xbox buttons for all actions. Not a big deal but it's slightly inconvenient, especially in stressful situations, since I've never owned an Xbox and keep forgetting which button is which (A, B, X, Y). The PS buttons (X, circle, square and triangle) however are second nature to me. Is there any way to get RDR2 to show the PS controllers?

Initially, it worked perfectly since a year ago when I was on Skyrim v1.6.640. Recently [2 days ago] updated to v1.6.1170 and it didn't launch anymore, it would just crash on start-up, so I uninstalled it. i can Install it back up but when I launch it, I states that certain paths cannot be found (these paths should not exist in the first place). First it was the MO2 exe file not being found (the path it seeks isn't the one I set during install) , I managed to fix that, but now it tells me about "Special" path which doesn't exist and never should exist in the first place.

Is this a Wine/Proton issue or is it the MO2 installer? I'm using the Rockerbacon install by the way. And I'm using Nobara 37 distro.

Hi guys, Ive been having this problem where I would play a game on steam and it would randomly just crash, for example I would be playing a game such as Pummel party and the game would just randomly close, It got to the point where I stopped playing games altogether on my system, and just used it for work and videos and such. Recently I've tried playing Helldivers 2 but every-time I play and put in around 30min on it the whole screen just freezes, and this is not only hell divers but many other games that are considered more graphically intense.

I would just play the game and the game would randomly freeze , but I could still hear sounds, I cant even alt tab from it so it seems like my whole system is freezing, at that point I would have to just force shut down my computer. I thought switching to an operating system that is more suited to gaming would maybe help me, so I switched to Nobara but the problem persisted even after I installed the latest Nvidia drivers for my system, and did so much changes that I found online. Last night it happened again and I was just so pissed so I decided to ask people about it. Im not sure if anyone else has experienced this and fixed it. do you guys have any suggestions on how I can trouble shoot this? here are my specs:

​

Operating System: Nobara Linux 39

KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0

Qt Version: 6.6.2

Kernel Version: 6.8.7-200.fsync.fc39.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor

Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM

Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660/PCIe/SSE2

Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

Product Name: B450M DS3H

NVIDIA Driver Version: 550.67

​

I've Tried multiple fixes, Ive changed wayland into Xorg and the problem still persisted, ive updated my NVIDIA drivers, tried many configurations in proton and finally just used protong-GE but the problem still persists, I've checked my drives with SMART and they seem ok. I also have some steam logs of when i was playing, they are quite massive and I'm not sure how to post them here, but the lines before and during the crash go like this:

And just repeats until I restart. If anyone has any ideas I will be super grateful!

So, I have this old PC running Mint I want to play some couchy games like football on. I have Fifa 21, doesn't work on that one because of specs. So I ended up buying a used CD of Fifa 13 which takes significantly lower specs and I read somewhere runs supposedly well on wine according to some old post from somewhere on the cheapsies. Turns out, there is a problem: it requires Origin.

I can install Origin either from the CD or also from Lutris, but all that does is want to update itself to EA App, the new thing replacing it. If I update Origin to EA App, shit stops working entirely. If I install EA App directly (which so far has only worked for me with Proton Experimental), my Fifa CD wants to install origin even if I have its successor actively running on the same wineprefix. There seems to be no winning on this one. I can't even try adding it to my account on my newer PC that has windows because it lacks a fucking CD drive - so for now, I basically seem to have scammed myself by buying that.

I also found some advice to run Origin in Windows Vista mode, no such luck because it's unsupported in the last version.

Has anyone got any advice how to actually install something like that?

Today I have tried to connect my Nintendo joy-cons to an Arch Linux running Hyprland (Wayland).

I have installed hid-nintendo-dkms and joycond-git then I have tried to connect it via bluetooth. When I pair it with my laptop I get the "Connected" notification, however sync animation on the joy-con doesn't disappear and it doesn't detect any input.

I have tried to install the libraries mentioned above through git and make them myself but it didn't solve the issue.

The problem is the same as this but I didn't find any answers provided.

P.S. Idk if its a good description, but I can provide any specific info if needed.

Help, please. I got about 300 hours on modded Fallout 4 play through and now Steam is forcing an update which will likely break the game.

How do I start mod organizer 2 outside of Steam?

I tried wine from Lutris and Proton GE and experimental from Steam. None of them works.
Anybody here tried run it?

Specifically I'm modding new vegas and the mod in question is this:

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/67883

It requires this:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

I downloaded vcredist_x86.exe but at this point I don't know how to install it in a way that would make the mods actually use it. My wild guess is to replace the exe steam points to towards vcredist and after it installed go back to what it was before but I wouldn't want to fuck something up.

I have been using Linux for a while now and want to create an app project to learn Linux app development. I also tend to play Skyrim quite a bit (probably too much), and I'm curious if it's feasible to create a native mod manager for it on Linux. If it is, where should I start? What skills will I need to learn? I have some knowledge of C++ and Python, although I haven't used them in a while.

What are your guys suggestion?

System: Linux Mint, i9 13900k, 7900xtx, 64gb DDR5 Fresh install boot game, join world. Presented with a slide show, max fps I can achieve is 13. Iv tried installing through Lutris an manually chose my GPU to run the game. Same results. Disabled vsync in the ini files. No change

Interesting quirk the game instantly crashes if I try starting it in fullscreen

I recently upgraded my old GTX970 & i7-4790k setup to AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with Gigabyte 4080 SUPER.

I originally planned to install Win10. But after a painful, intrusive installation that forced me to sign in at installation, always-online for login (you seriously cant use PIN, if you do not have internet), plenty of intrusive "use microsoft apps", and too much advertisements in start menu and notification menu, I decided that its time to leave Windows for good.

I went with Ubuntu for now, because that's what I am comfortable with, and so far everything is working good.

There's one thing I am not happy with: The Motherboard. I use a Gigabyte X670 AORUS Elite AX. Unfortunately, sensors are not supported and I was not able to get lm-sensors to read the I/O (?) chip that is supposed to deliver sensor data. My first attempt in following the guides to get support for the Gigybyte ended in a bricked system that would not recognise the graphics card anymore (do not ask me how I managed to do that).

Since I still have a week left to RMA, I am looking for a well supported board under Linux. I have my eyes on the ASUS TUF Gaming X670E-Plus:

• https://linux-hardware.org/?id=board:asustek-tuf-gaming-x670e-plus-rev-1-xx
• https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.3-HWMON

Anyone has experience with this board under Linux? Does it work OOTB? Thank you for all advice!

So I've been having an issue where my system just locks up for 4 seconds, game reloads the textures and this loops until I move out of the area. VRAM filling up? but why would that cause entire system to lock up? RAM usage doesn't spike when this happens. I'm using steam to run wow

My hardware.

5800x 32gb 5700 XT

3x 170hz 1440P HDR 1000 displays.

Now main question

1: any news regarding any real HDR support in Linux?

2: what distribution would best out of the box give me what I need? (Gaming / programming )

I am not a total noob but I also don’t want to be stuck In hell search
