Steam Deck help please.
Just got a Deck and I know nothing about PC’s really. I’m using Lutris to run my games from GOG but a couple games have problems. First photo is of Painkiller black edition, the game only takes up a quarter of the screen and I have no idea why. Next one is prince of Persia sands of time, game looks totally washed out and the controls are screwed too. I downloaded a fix for PoP but I don’t know how to make it work I guess. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I’m just learning all this!

Issues with Steam and Xbox controller
Inexperience hates me. I'm pretty new to Linux and I'm having issues with Steam (installed from RPMFusion because the flatpak isn't updated) on Fedora 43. I wanted to play Hollow Knight: Silksong but I noticed the commands aren't correct (X and A are inverted, B and RT...). it is all fucked. I'm not using steam input because the game has native support for the Xbox controller and even native support for Linux. Then... what am I missing, am I making some sort of mistake?
I don't want to switch back to Windows cowardly 'cause I hate it. Thanks in advance

Old Pascal nVidia card (GT 1030) - recommendation for good gaming-focused distro with X11 support, since wayland sucks on Pascal?
I'm trying to move away from Windows on an older PC which doesn't have official Windows 11 capability. Mainly want to use it for some light gaming by the kids; the setup isn't powerful but still somewhat more powerful than a Steam Deck, so it should work fine for basic 720p to 1080p gaming.
I heard so many recommendations for Fedora-based distros like Bazzite or Nobera only to find out after installing that they don't offer X11 support. The problem is that wayland apparently is prone to stutters, screen tearing and crashes on this old GT 1030 (Pascal architecture) card, even with the 580 driver which was released last year and will be the final driver version for the card now. Using X11 definitely makes things easier and runs fine, and it's not like such an old card would be using anything that wayland support makes easier, like HDR.
I'd like to use a gaming-focused distro that actually intends to keep X11 support around for the years to come, which means nothing with KDE or Gnome which have dropped support for it. I mainly want to just run Steam Big Picture on the machine, and maybe allow the kids to do some light Desktop tasks like web browsing, but that's it. But if the distro has good support for the usual gaming-focused shenanigans that Bazzite and Nobara give you, that would definitely be a plus. Anyone have a recommendation, ideally one they have actively been using themselves?

Your opinion matters!
Hi everyone
Where should I start? 🤔 Maybe with my setup?
Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
RAM: 32 GB DDR4
GPU: RX 6900 XT SE
Out of curiosity, I installed Linux Mint in dual boot a few weeks ago to test things out. My first impression was:
It’s… kinda ugly 😅😂
Luckily, after some research and watching some videos (thanks ZH Soft), I found this website with tons of customization stuff:
Is it safe? What do you think about it?
Then I installed a few apps to see how everything runs.
For gaming:
FFXIV
Steam
But I ran into an issue with my Xbox controller over Bluetooth (no problem with a cable). From what I found, it might be a driver signature issue. Can anyone confirm?
I also had some keyboard issues, especially with “select all” and copy/paste in LibreOffice and the file manager. After some digging, it seems my Swiss French layout isn’t handled very well. As a workaround, I switched to Swiss German, and it works fine 😁
There are still a lot of things left to test, like installing my two Wi-Fi printers (one HP and one Brother), and finding a good app to create and run VMs. From what I’ve seen, VirtualBox seems decent — is that still the go-to?
I’m probably forgetting some things, but I’d love to hear your thoughts about daily driving Linux on a machine that’s not only for gaming.
Oh, and I also installed a VM to try Zorin because it looks nice out of the box 😂 We’ll see how that goes ^^
I also noticed some “gaming-focused” distros like CachyOS, Bazzite, Garuda, etc., but for now I’m not really convinced 😕
Thanks for reading, and I’m looking forward to your feedback 😊

I am running Minecraft using Prism Launcher and I am using the shader loader Iris with Fabric. I haven't gotten the chance of installing any other games yet
Edit: u/Gloomy-Response solved my issue. "In prism launcher, there is a setting to use the dedicated GPU. Settings -> Minecraft -> Tweaks -> Use discrete GPU." I get 95-100 FPS now

I would like to have this game working on Bazzite!
I am a Linux and Bazzite newbie, I am enjoying the experience so far.
Rapala Pro Fishing from 2004 is a 32-bit PC game which I enjoyed playing very much in the past. I still have the original CD-Rom which still works. I installed it on Lutris and Heroic, but the game won't start. I am double booting Bazzite and Windows 11, but I would like to get rid of Windows 11 for good. Any tips on how to get it running would be cool. Cheers!

Are these artifacts a sign of my GPU dying?
Whenever I see posts asking for tips regarding these kind of artifacts, it almost always seems to indicate that your GPU is dying, so it's my turn to ask this exact same question!
This has started happening recently, maybe within a month and I've seen this maybe 3-4 times, some of the times they appear when coming back from suspend/sleep and once they just appeared when watching a video or something.
I don't have any other "issues". When it comes to gaming, temps are fine (from 70-80c while gaming) and updating the drivers that got just released didn't resolve this issue either.
I have an Gainward RTX 3060 Ghost.

Does installing HoyoPlay on Lutris get you Banned?
I'm just curious because while Gacha games aren't my main focus in gaming, they're fun in their own way. And I'm asking especially for Honkai Impact 3rd cause I heard it was Stingy on Linux

LACT 0.8.4 Brings Improved Overclocking UI For GPUs On Linux
What's a Linux Mint-compatible capture card with 4K60 passthrough and allows 1440p60 recording?
I'm on Windows 11, but I'll be switching to Linux Mint soon. Currently, I'm using an Elgato 4K S to record my PS5 gameplay (I won't be streaming), but I don't know if it'll continue to work the way it does now after I switch. I'd be glad to get your recommendations.

Im new to linux gaming and need recommendation on a new card
I have a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER right now but want to upgrade and have found a Nvidia Quadro RTX 5000 at half price - is this a good idea?
If not, can I get recommendations on a powerful card?
Im running Kubuntu atm but am flexible and can change OS if its required or better for gaming, as all my work related stuff is done in the browser any way

Distribution for new user
Hi, which distribution would you recommend for a beginner Linux user so that I can play games without hassle, but also practice using Linux. For example, I came across Bazzite — is that a good option?

Helldivers 2: Squad invited not working
I decided to test Linux gaming and installed Steam on NixoOS. After setting `kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=1` the GameGuard worked fine and Helldivers started OK. But squad invited don’t work to either direction. The invites go through Steam both ways, but the ”establishing link” always timeouts. The computer has dualboot and Helldivers works without any issues on Win 11/Steam. Any ideas what could be wrong.
Also, the HDR option is not becoming available in HD2 even KDE/Plasma 6 has HDR on and the monitor is in HDR state. But that’s a smaller issue.

Pirated games: should I play them through Steam or Lutris?
Hello guys. I hope talking about piracy isn't a problem here.
I was wondering if there are advantages or disadvantages of adding "3rd party" games to Steam or Lutris.
Currently, i just use Steam, and add the games externally, and everything works fine. So i wonder why would i use Lutris? Are there any advantages of adding the games to Lutris, rather than Steam?

Audio Advice Needed
Ive dipped my toes into Pop!_OS recently and was impressed how out-of-the-box its was and impressed how quick I was up gaming but have been struggling with my audio interface. I have a Steinberg H224 which is USB class compliant.
The only issue im running across is input. I can hear just fine and can switch between monitors and headphones but no mic input or channel works, checked through discord and test clips with audacity to confirm its something software side.
Any advice would be great as this is the only hangup I have to dump Windows for good.

Screen is dimming and stuttering in all games now
All my games using Lossless Scaling are now flickering every three seconds and stuttering. When I clear the Proton files, the game runs normally without any issues, but the moment I launch the game a second time, the stuttering returns. What in the world is happening?Its like my screen is dimming up and down everytime this happens.
