Hi all!

I successfully installed Lossless Scaling in Bazzite following the installation guide:

https://github.com/PancakeTAS/lsfg-vk/wiki/Installation-Guide

After that, I added
ENABLE_LSFG=1 %command%
in Steam.

Then I started Lossless Scaling via App Launcher and started the game, followed by a quick Alt+Tab to LSFG for it to find the right name for the Profile.

Closed the game again and relaunched: 4FPS with Lossless Scaling set to twice the frames.

This happened for me in Quake 2 and also Monster Train (1), same behaviour.

Specs (and the reason on why I want to use it): ThinkPad T460p

- i5-6300U
- Intel HD Graphics 530
- 8GB Ram

I mean, it does something, so I guess it's active. I just don't understand why it dumps the FPS. In Quake 2 I usually get 30-40FPS and in Monster Train 28-32. Why does it drop to 4 (measured with steam overlay and... kinda counting them :D )

I appreaciate any kind of help. Let me know if you need more info!

Big Thank You from a new Linux gamer :)

I'm itching for a Thinkpad X1 2-in-1 Aura Edition with Lunar Lake, and many reviews say it does work pretty much perfect with Linux, but how is the GPU in games? Stable? Good performance? Still needs work?

so i managed to get Halo working on Cachyos but i noticed that my entire game audio is just stupid quiet i have all audio set to max (default) but the only thing that's audible is me getting hit or the occasional shot fired by me (note this is across all games in the collection as well as the menu)

Hello,

Recently I've build new PC with AMD CPU and GPU (specs below). Unfortunately I have some issue with stability while gaming - for now Roadcraft, Driving Life and Ship Graveyard Simulator 2, freez, black screen and sometimes AMD Crash Report Tool appears and sometimes not. And this problem never appeared when I was playing on laptop with AMD CPU and nVidia GPU...

So I've been thinking, does anyone have similar issue in those games on linux? Are linux drivers better, more stable than windows?

I can install some distribution on second partition or something but I need to know if gaming on AMD GPU on Linux is stable before I format my main disk and do some kinky stuff :P

PC specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800 X3D

GPU: XFX Mercury Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Gaming Edition

Mobo: MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk Wifi

RAM: 2x32GB G.Skill Flare X5 AMD DDR5 6000MHz CL30

PSU: Corair RM1000x

SSD (Main): Kingston KC3000 2TB

Monitor: iiyama G-Master GCB3280QSU-B2 Red Eagle 32"

Current OS: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit

Hey there! I recently moved over to Linux and, sadly, my current MMO gaming mouse isn't supported (which I knew going in.) It has onboard memory, so I was able to program some common buttons I use before I made the switch, but I like being able to change them around. I know that I'm not going to get per-profile mappings, and I'm alright with that. Digging around, it seems very iffy on whether nor not any certain mouse is 'supported'. I've currently got the Corsair Scimitar Elite, and I've poked around with ckb-next, but that particular mouse isn't supported yet. Does anybody have any experience with this and can recommend me a replacement mouse?

I'm having trouble finding a good answer to this, but how do I remote unlock my gaming desktop so I can stream games to my steam deck and other devices around the house?

I don't want to leave my desktop permanently unlocked for security reasons (and for kid reasons). My computer auto-locks itself when idle for a period of time as well.

On windows I was able to use Parsec and some other host software to manage that, but I can't find a good solution for getting past the login screen so steam streaming is functional.

Euro Truck Simulator 2: DLC "Nordic Horizons" and "Forest Machinery" released https://playingtux.com/articles/euro-truck-simulator-2-dlc-nordic-horizons-and-forest-machinery-released?lang=en #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming

Tested on Chromium based and Firefox based browsers.

The Problem

YouTube is a Single-Page Application (SPA) that loads new videos dynamically without a full page refresh. Because of this, MPRIS often does not detect video changes and metadata updates.

Our Solution's Approach

Seeking updates MPRIS.

On first frame loaded or PlaybackState 'play' we forcibly seek to the current position.

i want to know the best distro for gaming that can run the following games:

cs2

rdr2

battlefield 6

dayz

my summer car

war thunder

and many more modern titles with a little bit worse performance than windows but preferrably better also im not really a tech savvy i can get stuff done but still this linux thing is new for me

the reason im trying out linux is cuz my dad wants me to know how linux works wich by the looks of it is really interesting OS also im going to be installing windows on a another hard drive just so in case linux doesnt support JUST that singular game

Hi im using my gpd win max 2 as my primary laptop for productivity and gaming.

I have tested bazzite, catchyos and nobara (desktop and handheld modes) and im looking for one that offers best of both worlds.

my checklist

-boots into desktop version WITH PASSWORD, very important for security

- has seamless return to gaming mode option, with support for all of steam os features, deckyloader etc

- has password screen at wake up from sleep (left pc for a while or just taken it back out to work on)

- if the fingerprint sensor also works amazing but not a dealbreaker (i saw the linux drivers were released for 7840u model which i have)

any suggestions? im not super tech savvy so if theres a build out there with this preconfigured that would be great.

i tried the mod with bazzite that boots into deskop mode not gaming mode, which works great HOWEVER it lacks passwords from sleep and log in

Dear community,
We’re a small indie team working on Savior Syndrome: The Crimson Sun — a game inspired by Disco Elysium in both mechanics and presentation.

One of our key goals is to ensure solid Steam Deck support. Right now, we’ve managed to achieve a stable ~57 FPS without any noticeable loss in visual quality.

I’d like to ask you as players:
Is this framerate comfortable for you on Steam Deck?
Should we sacrifice some visuals and post-processing to push performance even further, or is 57 FPS already good enough for a slower, dialogue-focused game without fast-paced action?

Your experience and opinion mean a lot to us. Thank you!
