Hello all!

So, I just got myself a 2021 Asus ROG Strix G513QY, and I was just wondering if I should stick with Windows 11 to minimize any compatability issues with anything (first gaming laptop) or if it's cool for me to replace Windows 11 with Bazzite, Ubuntu, or any other recommended distro for gaming! I'd preferably NOT dual boot (already did that with chromeOS and Ubuntu...never again😭😭). Thus, I'd like some tips for setting up Linux with this laptop! But, if Windows really is going to be safer/less neurotic for me (not too crazy about tinkering for anything more than 30 minutes), what are some tips for when I first boot up the laptop (this'll be my first time with Windows on a computer at home)?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I'm on cachy OS i3wm, last thing I remembered was when I launched steam it installed some updates and after installation it just won't open at all. Already tried reinstalling, manually clear cache. I tried deleting /.steam and /.local/share/steam folder, it launched installs it and then proceeds to close and won't launch again.

Hello,

I just found out that RA1 is available via openra and it's nice, but I would like to play another game (or games).

Maybe starcraft etc. I want to be able to play multiplayer with friends as well, so that's important.

All the best!

Hi everyone, I recently switched to Pop!_OS and I'm trying to get my DualSense (PS5) controller fully working with all the "pro" features (Haptics and Adaptive Triggers), specifically for games like Silent Hill 2 Remake. My Current Status: System: Pop!_OS (Fresh install), Intel i7 10700, RTX 4070 Super. Hardware Detection: The system recognizes the controller perfectly. lsusb shows Sony Corp. DualSense wireless controller. Steam: It detects it as a "PS5 Controller". The Issues: The "Xbox Buttons" Problem: Even with Steam Input disabled, some games still show Xbox prompts instead of PlayStation icons. Third-party Apps: I tried running DSX via Proton/Steam but I get a DllNotFoundException (steam_api64.dll). Missing tools: I've been unable to install dualsensectl via apt (package not found) and the GitHub .deb link gave me a 404 error. Bluetooth vs Cable: I've read about SAxense or DuaLiner to get haptics over Bluetooth, but I’m struggling to find a stable way to install/manage these tools on Pop!_OS without breaking my audio (PipeWire). What I'm looking for: Is there a "modern" way in 2026 to manage DualSense features (LED color, triggers, haptics) on Pop!_OS without relying on broken .deb files or Windows apps through Proton? I want to match (or beat) the experience I had on Windows. Thanks!

The servers opened just now, good luck and have fun to anyone who wanted to play on Linux!

Hey, I've started playing Hogwarts Legacy on a Ryzen 5 7600 32gb of ram and a rx 7800xt. I was pretty disappointed to not be able to turn on raytracing. Most of the time it would work well enough but in some scenes it dropped from 60 to 20 fps. So I got a rx9070xt and my avereage went up but running around in hogsmeade for exaple still regularly has immense lagspikes although I get 90fps most of the time. I'm about to buy a 9800x3D just to get my fricking game somewhat smooth.

This seems ridiculous to me because the 7600 is already a very fast processor. It not being capable of raytracing in unreal at all seems stupid to me.

I'm on Manjaro, Wayland, Kernel 6.17.12, Mesa 25.3.1, Driver: amdgpu, Vulkan 1.4.328

Please tell me if you need nore info.

I'm going to start with specs as I feel there maybe some influence to what I'm experiencing.

CPU: 5950x with PBO on

memory: 32GB ddr4 @ 4000MHz

monitors: primary is 1440p @165hz with two additional 1080p @ 60hz

Gpu: 3070 no overclock and a generic amd r5 200 display adapter this runs the 2 1080p monitors

mobo: b550 msi mpg gaming plus

Distro is bazzite on a separate 500GB nvme thru a pcie card adapter. Yes my mobo has two nvme slots but deactivates the second slot when anything is in the other 16x slot. Hence the adapter.

What is happening is while gaming it doesn't fully leverage the hardware. Which results in very poor performance like half the framerate at BEST or a quarter of the framerate compared to win10 (yes I know out of support os). The two games I've tested with are Arc Raiders and The Long Dark. The former tends to stress gpu. The latter Cpu. TLD on windows happily shows around 50% or more cpu utilization. Bazzite reports like 10 to 20%

Now with that out of the way here's everything i can remember trying.

I have updated bazzite manually. Maunal updates because while troubleshooting I doubt it is running long enough to auto update.

Have set variable refresh to auto.

Tried some manual launch parameters (I'll try to edit this post to show what I tried) for arc raiders. Kinda helped. Was getting 30 fps before. However steam overlay reports 60fps. Does not feel like 60. Microstutter? Very unsure about what's going on.

Verified no vsync or framerate cap on either game

At this point any and all advice would be appreciated.

I have been looking for an app to consolidate all the games I own from various stores and I'm pretty sure what I want doesn't exist.

Playnite is awesome, but only runs on Windows, and though it does have a web interface plugin, it is limited and still means I need to run a Windows server somewhere.

Heroic launcher is great, but only supports a few stores. Lutris is also limited in its support.

I wanted something that would advertise games that I already own back to me. On steam, for example, games being advertised to you are displayed really nicely with good information and screenshots. But once you buy them, they just get dumped into your library with very little in the way of discovery.

Some key features:

• FOSS
• Supports Steam, Epic, GOG, Humble, Itch, and battlenet with more on the way.
• Filter, sort, and organize your library by store, genre, ratings, etc.
• Discover page advertises your owned games back to you with several different trending/popular/community/hidden gems/etc. lists that update regularly.
• Create custom collections of your games.
• It's a web app, so you can set it up to be accessible from anywhere.
• Runs natively with python or in Docker.

The purpose of this app is to centralize your game library and browse and discover games in your library. It is not an installer or launcher.

I made an easy to use python script which allows for any program to work as a game status. It's also really lightweight please use so I don't feel like I wasted my time making something only I wanted or needed. Also make sure to read the github for an explanation of how to set it up (basically just download the 2 requirements and add your game to the list of programs to detect lol)

Specs: i5 12400f

RTX5060 (590.48.01)

32 GB DDR4 3200mhz

Asus h610m-ayw-d4

I know the NVIDIA drivers in Linux are problematic, but I saw the people talking only in DX12 games, not in OpenGL.

The performance between Windows and Linux is so big - i dont will use all the fps, because i will lock FPS at 165 FPS, but i want to know if it's normal or if I made something wrong (I'm a beginner in Linux, so why am I asking it).

*I Know the time it's different in the game, but i test more times and the fps is the same.

I'M NOT ASKING FOR HELP; JUST ASKING IF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TRIED THE SAME

I have CoD Cold War on Battle.net, NOT on Steam. For the past few hours, I've been busy setting up the launcher, so it opens as a non-Steam game, and Battle.net itself works fine. But with Cold War, I get the error 80070057, no matter what I try. I've tried dozens of things and commands to make it work, but absolutely nothing works at all.

I'm not directly asking for help, I just want to know if other people have tried doing the same thing, and if they got the same error, or were able to play the game.

I'm sure the game runs properly directly via Steam, but I don't want to spend 20 dollars on a game I've already paid for.

Thanks in advance :)

I recently started another Cyberpunk 2077 playthrough. It's my first playthrough on Linux.

Everything works pretty smooth, game runs with around 70 to 90 FPS at high settings (With DLSS). But sadly the Game starts to stutter after around an hour of playing (Mostly when it is foggy or when it's raining.

At first, I simply thought it's related to CPU/GPU temperatures. But my CPU is at around 70 to 80°C (Which is normal for my CPU under load with PBO). And my GPU only hits around 65°C which is nothing.

I never had this issue on Windows, though I am also not using the same Graphics settings as I can't remember what I used specifically on Windows.

Cyberpunk 2077 runs completely smooth otherwise, the stutters are the only problem. Does anyone know how to fix this or why this happens? Should I just tweak settings? And if yes. Which settings could cause this?

Here are my specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700x GPU: MSI RTX 4070 Super 12GB Vram RAM: 32GB G.Skill Trident DDR5

Game platform:Steam with ProtonGE 10

OS: Fedora 43 with KDE Plasma 6

All drivers and packages are fully up-to-date btw.

Hey Folks,

I'm a brand new Linux user and I'm having difficults getting a steam game to launch. I can bypass the known EAC error just fine by disabling the wifi, but once I pass the initialization and the game launches, it immediately crashes and the steam "play" button in my library turns back to green. please let me know if other information is needed to help resolve this.

Hi guys if anyone would be willing to put a report on that https://www.appimagehub.com/p/2338358, this clearly looks like a malware all of apps that guy uploaded are probably malwares...

I've been trying to get this enabled and no joy.

I'm running PopOS 24.04 (Kernel 6.17.9-76061709-generic) on a ROG STRIX B560-I GAMING using the latest BIOS v2405 (12/11/2025). Running an RTX3090 with driver version 580.119.02 and a i5-11600KF. Everything hardware wise checks as compatible.

Above 4G Decoding is Enabled, CSM is Disabled and Resize Bar is Enabled and "ON" in the BIOS but CPU-X is always reporting it as Disabled.

Not sure what else to try, Any pointers would be great.

Hi everyone,

I am running CachyOS (Arch based) and trying to get the native DualSense Haptic Feedback working in The last of us.

The Problem:
I know that the DualSense needs to be recognized as a 4-channel audio device (Analog Surround 4.0) so that the rear channels can drive the haptic motors. However, my system refuses to expose the 4.0 profile. In pavucontrol, I only see "Mono" or "Pro Audio".

It doesn't matter if I select Pro Audio or Mono, I get audio through the controller speaker, but no haptics.

Current Setup & Working Features:

• OS: CachyOS (Arch) with latest Kernel & PipeWire/WirePlumber
• Connection: USB-C Cable.
• Steam Settings: Steam Input is Disabled
• Permissions: game-devices-udev is installed.
• Adaptive Triggers: WORK (tested via dualsensectl and ingame).
• Standard Rumble: WORKS (tested in steam)

What I have tried so far:

1. ALSA Mixer: I noticed the PCM channel was muted (MM) in alsamixer. I unmuted it (00) and set it to 100%. This enabled audio through the speaker, but didn't bring back the 4.0 profile.
2. Forcing the Profile via CLI: I tried to force the profile manually using the card name found in pactl list cards short:
3. pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.usb-Sony_Interactive_Entertainment_DualSense_Wireless_Controller-00 output:analog-surround-40 Result: Failure: No such entity. It seems the 4.0 profile is not generated or available for this card index.
4. UCM Configs: I tried moving/renaming the ALSA UCM config files (/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/USB-Audio/Sony/DualSense*) to force a generic detection, hoping it would expose the raw 4 channels. Result: No change, still only Mono available.
5. WirePlumber Rules: Tried creating a rule in ~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/ to force audio.channels = 4, but it seems I cannot override the profile availability.

Summary:
The hardware works. The permissions are good (triggers work). The issue seems to be entirely within PipeWire/ALSA refusing to map the controller as a Quadraphonic/4.0 device, which prevents the game from sending haptic data to the motors.

Does anyone know how to force a specific channel map or fix the missing 4.0 profile on CachyOS/Arch with the current PipeWire version?

Btw. it worked on a previous version of Cachy OS without problems but after resetting my PC because I had some problems it won't work anymore.

Thanks in advance!

Switched to Bazzite OS (Gnome) and I've encountered a weird problem while playing. If I move my mouse too fast, it switches screen. I've seen some people fixing it by putting this :
PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%
in the Launch options, but it didn't work for me.
Happened during a bossfight while playing Borderlands 4 and I died because of it
