Hello everyone, I have a rog gaming laptop with both amd cpu and dgpu (RX6800M)

I've been thinking switching to linux but I'm thinking if there's additional step involved to optimizing it? I'm a noob in linux so I'm afraid I won't understand complex stuff regardless I still want to try it.

One of the main thing I'm concerned about is if the smartshift technology works flawlessly in linux? and also if is there any control center i could use for undervolting and fan control. In windows i use G-Helper.

The linux distro I'm considering is bazzite so if anyone has any experience I would gladly appreciate the help!

American Truck Simulator: DLC "Louisiana" released https://playingtux.com/articles/american-truck-simulator-dlc-louisiana-released?lang=en #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming

I know kernel level anticheats dont really work on Linux but I was wondering if I could stream the game, would that allow me to play fortnite for example? If not that's fine, just curious and thanks for the help! Sorry if this is the wrong place to post.

Edit: Sorry, I'm using Linux Mint 22

Hi all,

I used to run Minecraft Bedrock through mcpe-launcher (https://github.com/minecraft-linux/) or Waydroid, but it seems the latest version of Minecraft introduced some form of DRM that blocks both these approaches.

Is there an alternative or a work around for this?

(I know I can play Minecraft Java Edition natively on Linux, but I play bedrock because my son plays on his Android device - which can't run the Java version and we have a shared world where we play together.)

Short story

Had an old graphic card and changed to a new one. I put the card and it just worked well.

Selling the old card and the buyer asked to send a video of it working. So i removed my new graphic card, put back the old card, made a video of it working, removed and put my new card again. Then turning on my pc and it wont start my linux (mint). It starts till the logo screen, then shows the loading clock and gives me the monitor saying power supply issue.

I have used my usb install to run the boot repair, but it didnt solve it. Tried to start linux on recovery mode, so maybe could run timeshift and restore.... I dont know if changing the cards like that could have changed something on the drivers.

Anyways... I have no more ideas of what to do. Anyone have a help for me pls?

I'm looking for a good speedrun timer, that can automatically activate like livesplit, and/or switch levels. i've seen "adrift" on speedrun.com, but i do not know how to install it correctly, i get into it's folder, make, but an error that says that vtk isn't found, which is really strange as i already installed the vtk packages (i want to speedrun portal 2 if that helps)

So mainly what I want is a good mouse that's easily configurable on Linux. It should have a thumb button in the natural thumb position, something like the G502 Hero's G shift button, and that button should be remappable to anything, including modifier keys. This is my issue with the Hero, I can't remap that button to ctrl like I had on Windows before I switched over. Any recommendations?

Arch linux gnome. When playing games with steam, I'm constantly getting 4k resolution, which is much higher than my 2k display. I tried to set it up via xrandr like here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195327, xrandr shows that I have 4k resolution, but my system is on wayland, so i can't change xrandr modes. In my gnome display settings, everything is right 2k as it should be. Everything is also correct in .config monitor.cfg. The problem appears so far only in games. I'll be glad if we can fix it.

I am on arch using sway. My obs used to work fine but after an update it is now really choppy. It seems the the pipewire screen capture is capped at a low fps value (maybe 30). The fps in obs is set to 60 (which worked find before). I can see the lag in the obs viewer and in the final video. Is this a known issue, and how can it be fixed?

log: https://pastebin.com/rehxde8n
I just looked through this log and this bit looks suspicious:

10:45:43.616: [pipewire] Negotiated format: ... 10:45:43.616: [pipewire] Framerate: 0/1

pipewire is using 0 fps?

Hi guys, i have been trying to run marvel rivals in my laptop with pop_os installed in it but it just refuses to run. It startup and i see the startup screen but then the entire game gets stuck and i have to manually shut the game down. My system info is as follows

Processor: 12th gen Intel i5 12450H

GPU: Nvidia RTX 3050 6GB

RAM: 16GB DDR5

I have tried several solutions like installing the native steam, using gamemode and forcing steam to use a specific Proton version including latest Proton GE, but nothing seems to remediate this issue. What are the other options i have?

Edit: Whenever i try to use gaemmoderun %command% as a launch command, something weird happens, as soon as the startup screen gets stuck, i have to press alt tab, and as long as i keep pressing the button the game resumes as normal. What is happening here?

Does anyone know if there is any Linux equivalent to the Sonar component of Steelseries GG? The things I find useful from it are the multiple channel audio mixer with a virtual sound card for each channel. This is so useful for me because I use my Bose QC Ultra headphones for gaming along with a blue yeti mic. Only problem is that because the headphones are BT when I use them in a game with voice chat without doing this, they always seem to get forced into headset mode rather than headphones. Which makes the game audio come out mono, making it sound terrible. With Sonar it always kept audio devices no matter what I was doing, like it would auto switch if I turned my headphones on or off, and I could even do things like send voice chat output from games to the chat virtual sound card rather than the gaming one, so it got processed differently.

On top of this there were the nice to haves, parametric EQ, virtual surround, per game audio profiles etc. But the main thing I need really is the audio mixing, virtual sound card management and I guess the EQ maybe.

TL;DR I made a script to launch Cheat Engine in a way that should allow it to properly attach to games running via Proton. You can find it here: https://github.com/Mkeefeus/ProtonCELaunch/releases/latest

I was trying to spawn in an Elden Ring file using Cheat Engine, but every time I attached to the process the table would fail to properly load the games memory. After pouring through Reddit posts and discord servers, I saw people using Steam Tinker Launch with some success. Unfortunately, STL dropped support for CE with version 12 (for good reason). While using version 11 did work, it did not play nice with the Elden Ring Reforged mod my friends and I were playing.

Eventually, I took a look through the old STL source code and saw how they were doing it, and made a script to replicate it. After a little trial and error, it worked, and I wanted to share it here so the next person with my problem might find a solution.

The script automatically detects your installed games and their Proton version. Just point it to your Cheat Engine files, select the game, and you should be good to go. I can't guarantee it will work in every situation, CE is not designed to be running in Linux in the first place, but it fixed my Elden Ring problem and hopefully it helps someone else in the future.
