Hello, I have a problem with Arma Reforger Tools and Im looking for someone to give me some tips or pointers on what to try.

It mostly works, I only have a problem when I try to execute a specific function that opens up 2 popups. And then I can't click on it.

Im on EndevourOS with Hyprland, tried switching to KDE and this problem still persiststs. Also tried switching to different proton versions and it also didnt work. This software can only be obtained through Steam so I don't know what else I can try.

Can I try reporting this somewhere else?

The guide is about adding roblox games to the steam library but i know that Linux works very differently from windows computers so just wanted to be sure! (I never used a linux computer until steam deck a couple months back and I won’t be able to understand everything thats common knowledge)

I started on Nobara (Gnome) and quickly ran into issues with my multi-monitor setup. So I switched to CachyOS and mostly I'd say it's fine but I've found a few things I actively dislike and in general it feels a little too "serious" so I want to head back to Nobara.

The thing is I'm seeing a lot of chatter on here that gaming distros are largely unnecessary.

What, if anything, do I actually need to do to get a good gaming experience with Fedora? Is it really just install Steam and off I go? I pretty much only game on Steam. Assuming that, is there anything else I'd genuinely benefit from using Nobara for?

I recently started using Fedora linux 43 and tried to use my Mayflash adapter to use my SNES controller to play super mario world. However the device does not show up as a controller at all.

After much searching, I have identified that the Mayflash adapter isn't registered as a regular HID device, but as a Vendor Specific usb debice. My question is, are there any drivers or tricks I can try to get it working in linux? or am I just shit out of luck :(

Thanks in advance!

I am an avid Elite: Dangerous VR player. VR-Support in linux was the main reason I couldn't completely switch from windows. But... I’m seriously blown away and shocked at how much progress Linux VR support has made! And thanks to AI assistance, I managed to pull together exactly the right information in no time to get everything running just as smoothly as on Windows, with WiVRn and WayVR on Fedora 43, KDE.

Getting Elite: Dangerous running in VR:

Bindings from the Windows install: imported super easily.

EDMC: native Linux version available.

My Exo-Bio tool “Exploration Buddy” and EDOMH: both run perfectly in a compatibility layer (Bottles) and (from a user perspective) work exactly the same as on Windows — click the app → it just runs.

And the VR? I use WiVRn and it is amazing. And WayVR as a VR-Overlay. WayVR is actually better than the SteamVR overlay: I can easily assign any app its own freely positionable VR window, and I can place it anywhere in the running VR game/app even more conveniently than ever with SteamVR on Windows. Plus it’s more stable than SteamVR. I used to get tons of SteamVR crashes because of the overlay window (or something else) making SteamVR go nuts.

Insane. Seriously insane. And the best part? SteamVR gets completely bypassed (in games that can run with OpenXR - so the game has way less overhead and runs roughly 10–15% faster, which means more graphical detail and higher resolution in the headset.

Wow. Thank you all you hardworking devs making this possible. Truly, thank you!

Olá sou muito novo na comunidade Linux, baixei o Zorin OS recentemente e percebi uma performasse pior no marvel rivals, no windows 11 ele rodava com uma media de 100/110 FPS, no Zorin OS ele esta com uma media de 80 FPS com algumas quedas bruscas, estou usando o Proton GE na Steam e como sou iniciante não sei se essa queda na performasse é algo esperado e sem solução, alguém sabe se tem alguma forma de melhorar isso? Ou só preciso me acostumar? enfim obrigado pela sua atenção.

With this new release, textures and bsa files should now have the correct format and use Version 7 and DX10. Using Fallout Anomaly as my testing list.

For people who use a NAS to store downloads, I have applied some fixes. Mainly extracting the files directly to your install folder for faster processing, one user reported it went from 45mbps to about 190mbps. Ontop of this the SQL databases will be stored in the ~/.cache/clf3/ as I was having some issues getting the databases to lock over network.

Files should now be fully hash matched to Wabbajacks hashes with xxHash64.

FO3/FNV Oblivion and Morrowind are next on my support list, with OpenMW being the last thing I do. Because I will have to figure something out for the CFG files, maybe auto downloading and configuring the Linux build of OpenMW? Not sure yet, if you have any ideas let me know.

One known issue is that on the gui some modlists text description is to long and escapes the block.

Have recently installed Paladins (a Steam version) on my Arch. Keep getting "bad configuration" error while trying to login. Is there anything that can be done about it or has Evil Mojo blocked the game from Linux users for another time?

Hey guys I goofed up :/ I was setting up Synctech for my emulator saves and for retroarch I was told I needed to use flatseal.

Got a little confused on how to use it and the only thing giving guidance was google ai, something went wrong because now as the title says I can't open flatpacks or konsole.

The closest things I found on google were a user /uKickyMcAssington who ran into a similar problem and they used a konsole command to fix it and it worked for them.

I see recommendations to factory reset but i seeeeeriously don't want to do that if I can help it if anyone knows how to fix this I'd love to hear also I did try resetting it multiple times

tldr Flatseal took away my permissions I can't use konsole or play games I tried resetting/deleting Flatseal and associated settings and am stuck on what to do :(

Recently changed to Mint after Windows 11 was Breaking every Update. Managed to get Steam up and working fine, and enjoyed a long play session of Deep Rock Galactic, one of my favorite games. It didn't run better than on Windows but it also wasn't noticeably worse, it did feel different though if that makes sense. Today I tried playing it again but every time I open it, the screen is frozen. I can still control the character and interact with everything but it will just show me a still image. Didn't find anything about it online, has anyone else experienced this? Thanks

Hardware:

AMD Ryzen 7 7700

Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti

Kernal:

6.14.0-37-generic

Hi I'm kinda new with Linux for gaming since I usually just use linux for office stuff. Currently I'm using Fedora Linux. I was thinking about playing Uncharted Waters Online since I thought this game is very light. I saw on the Internet that the Anti cheat is the same as Helldivers 2 so I'm guessing this could work. But when I run this game out from steam with proton, it keep looking like this. Is there anything I could do to be able to play this game? Thank you in advance.

I've been wondering what people here think would be a solution to Client-Side AntiCheat on Linux (that could ACTUALLY happen).
There are a few solutions that would be really good, such as server-sided AntiCheat. However, this approach doesn't cover some attack surfaces well in some games... Such as PvP shooters. A good solution would be Machine Learning mechanisms, which work for a lot of games... (THE FINALS for example, my favorite shooter right now)
Although, the harsh reality is that most gaming companies don't care, and put too much effort into client-side AntiCheat instead of working more on the server-sided protection mechanisms. I'll be a bit pessimistic: while not a lot of Co-Op games use Kernel-Level AntiCheats, this trend won't stop for PvP online shooters.

TLDR: When more AntiCheat developers (or anyone with any power to change the field) start to care more about Linux, which approach they would take (realistically), in your opinion, to solve their problem of the current Linux Client-Side AntiCheat not being as effective?

Note: I don't think I have to mention the fact that Client-Side AntiCheats are simply just pieces of software meant to make modifying the game harder, and more time-consuming, not impossible regardless of what many people think. Realistic here doesn't mean good, or the most effective, just most likely.

Hello dear Linux community,

I need your current assessment. I would really like to switch to Linux (preferably Mint or bazzite).

And there is only one reason stopping me: gaming.

I love playing games and I've heard that a lot has changed in this area (thanks to Valve, among others). The last I heard, games like Fortnite, Battlefield 6, and League of Legends don't work on Linux because of the extensive anti-cheat measures. Has anything changed in this regard? LoL in particular would be really important to me.

There used to be workarounds, but apparently those won't work anymore starting in 2024.

I would be very grateful for any feedback and experience reports :)
