Sometimes I want to see a person's stats and when I go I accidentally click on Steam proifle, not battle.net prifle. So steam comes up. However, if I click back into the game, the game no longer accept key or mouse inputs. The mouse cursor moves though, but not accept clicks. The mouse cursor is from OW2 (stylized mouse cursor), not the generic desktop mouse cursor, so it seems the game at least sees the movement.

I have no idea how to fix this as I have to force close the game to fix it. I don't know of any way to recover. This gives me a timed temp ban every time it happens, and it adds up.

I’m using Linux Mint and installed Steam from the default software manager (Debian/apt version). Whenever I try to download a game or when Steam tries to update its runtime/Proton, the download starts but gets stuck at 1%.

I have plenty of disk space and the download speed is fine. I think it might be related to permissions or the Steam installation path (~/.steam/debian-installation).

Has anyone experienced this before? What’s the best way to fix it? Should I switch to the Flatpak version of Steam?

Thanks in advance!

Hello! I've recently switched to Linux (Kubuntu) from Windows and in my process of getting everything I used to use to work on Linux, I have discovered that my capture card is not streaming any video through OBS.

I have OBS installed through Flatpak and used Flatseal to enable access to all of my devices and yet the program doesn't seem to pick it up at all and only shows a black screen when the device is used as a Video Capture Device Source.

I'm including screenshots of my OS fetch, the settings in OBS, and Flatseal in the hopes that someone can help me with this.

Looking to join the BC-250 PC build discord server but all the invites I have seen has expired. Can I get a link if possible please?

Need to purchase one and also wanted to see if someone in there would have a better price than Ebay for me to purchase. (Obviously not $30-50 price or anything like that... I know that time has passed.)

Going to be using it for the living room to play Minecraft with my son.

Thanks everyone and happy holidays!

Today i started using CachyOS on my Acer Nitro V15 with an RTX 4050 and i5 13420H. After i tried to run the finals with CachyOS Proton with the Nvidia drivers that sudo chwd -a gave me (It gave me the open-source ones, and i think this Is the fault), the game ran at 20 FPS. That's an 83% drop! Any help pls?

Hi everyone,

I'm excited to share RogueX, a new open-source control center for ASUS ROG laptops running Linux! 🚀 Inspired from G-Helper Windows

If you've used G-Helper on Windows, you know how lightweight and convenient it is compared to Armoury Crate. I wanted that same experience on Linux—a fast, native GTK3 app to manage all the hardware features without dealing with CLI commands or heavy Electron wrappers.

Hello fellas

Ive recently switched to CachyOS and basically thats my main OS on my PC

theres but...

I miss my favourite game called 'Apex Legends' and unfortunately for like 1.5yr its unavailable for linux.

I was thinking about dual boot Windows10 only for getting apex to work.

Whats the best way to do it? I was thinking about some sort of USB Stick only with windows so I just plug pendrive, boot windows and Im good to go. I dont need windows on my main drive and I dont want spend extra money on one.

Any good ideas and some tinkering around? Thanks!

I installed Battle.net via the Faugus Launcher. Whenever I try to start it, it won't start. That said, I'm using the Linux Development Environment on an Acer 514 Chromebook Plus. Am I just intrinsically limited by hardware?

Hello everyone!

I've recently switched over to Linux from windows, specifically Debian 13 and everything has been working amazing, EXCEPT Baldurs Gate 3 and Mod Manager. I have tried every single fix I could find on the internet and I can't get the Mod Manager to export my mods to the game. I've made sure the paths were correct, downloaded all of the necessary dependencies, uninstalled and then reinstalled everything and nothing works. I'm at the end of my rope and debating switching back to windows even though I hate it so much. Has anyone gotten it working or have a surefire way of getting it to work? I don't understand what I'm missing when following all of the guides. Right now I'm sitting on a fresh install for BG3 so if anyone has any insight, I'm down and willing to try it out.

Thank you!

Wils Edison’s Way: LotRO on Linux without the stress

This guide is for those of you who want to get maximum performance out of older hardware (like the Samsung NP370R5E) by using "Naked Wine"

1. Preparing the system
   Open the terminal and prepare the machine for 32-bit architecture (required for LotRO) and install Wine
   - sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
   - sudo apt update && sudo apt install wine-stable

2. Find your graphic IDs
   To force the game onto the Radeon card, we need to know which one it is:
   - Run vulkaninfo --summary and look for the "Vendor ID" and "Device ID" for your dedicated card.

3. Setting up the Edison script
   Create a file called lotro.sh paste the following to enable FSR and the correct GPU:

Bash
#!/bin/bash
export DRI_PRIME=1
export MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT=1002:6660 # Replace with your ID
export WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1
wine-stable LotroLauncher.exe

- Make the file executable: chmod +x lotro.sh

1. In-game optimization
   - FPS lock:Set Max FPS to 40 to keep the temperature at 66-67°C.
   - The store: Check off for "External Store" so that it opens in Firefox.

Hi,

I recently switched from Windows 11 to CachyOS (GNOME) and I'm struggling with performance consistency in The Witcher 3 (Next-Gen). While the game runs smoothly in CPU-heavy areas (Novigrad/Oxenfurt), I’m experiencing significant performance hits in GPU-bound scenarios like forests. (I'm playing on DX11 version with DXVK, bcs DX12 sucks even in windows)

What im using:

• Windows 11: Consistent 144 FPS (capped, capable of ~200 FPS).
• CachyOS: Drops below 90 FPS in dense forest areas.

My Specs:

• CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• GPU: Radeon RX 9070XT
• RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30
• Drivers: Mesa 25.3.2-arch1.2
• Kernel/Scheduler: scx_lavd

What I've tried so far:

• Runners: Proton Experimental, Proton-GE.
• Environment Variables: PROTON_USE_WAYLAND=1, PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1.
• Sync methods: Tested with fsync, esync, and ntsync.
• Display: Tested on both native Wayland and XWayland.

Despite these tweaks, the GPU utilization in forests seems to result in much lower performance compared to Windows, while CPU-heavy cities perform as expected.

Is there anything specific to the RX 9070XT or Mesa 25.3 that I should look into? Or perhaps some additional RADV / vulkan environment variables that could help with performance overhead in DX12-to-Vulkan translation?

Denne guiden er for deg som vil kjøre LOTRO uten Steam eller Lutris, med full kontroll over maskinvaren.

1. Fundamentet: Klargjør skrivebordet (Desktop først!)​

Før du i det hele tatt rører spillet, må Linux-systemet ditt settes opp riktig. Husk: Hvis det ikke virker på skrivebordet, er det ingen vits i å feilsøke inne i et spill.

• Installer Wine-Stable: Åpne terminalen og installer en ren versjon av Wine. Dette er "motoren" som kjører spillet direkte.
• Sett opp mus/trackball: Hvis du bruker Kensington SlimBlade Pro eller lignende, legg inn konfigurasjonen med en gang for korrekt rulling: xinput set-button-map "Kensington SlimBlade Pro Trackball" 1 3 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
• Grafikk-kontroll: Opprett dine egne aliaser som grafikk-på og sjekk-grafikk for å ha full kontroll over status på grafikkortet før start.

2. Installasjon av LOTRO​

1. Last ned den offisielle installasjonsfila (LotroLive.exe) fra lotro.com.
2. Opprett en egen mappe (Prefix) i hjemmemappa di, for eksempel ~/Spill/lotro_prefix.
3. Kjør installasjonen med kommandoen: WINEPREFIX=$HOME/Spill/lotro_prefix wine LotroLive.exe.
4. VIKTIG: Når installasjonen er ferdig, ikke start spillet fra installasjonsprogrammet.

3. Opprett "Edison-scriptet" (Din start-snarvei)​

Lag en fil som heter lotro-start.sh på skrivebordet. Dette scriptet er nøkkelen til ytelsen din. Lim inn følgende:

Bash

!/bin/bash Aktiver FSR og DXVK for maksimal flyt

export DXVK_HUD=compiler,fps
export WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1
export WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_STRENGTH=2 , eller 1 enda mer detaljer i FSR oppskaleringa!

Start spillet fra riktig mappe

export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/Spill/lotro_prefix
cd "/sti/til/din/installasjon/The Lord of the Rings Online/"
wine-stable LotroLauncher.exe

4. Grafikk-revolusjonen: FSR og 40 FPS-låsen​

For å få "wow-fart" og lav temperatur på maskinvare som Intel 620, følg disse innstillingene inne i spillet:

• Screen Mode: Full Screen.
• Full Screen Resolution: Sett denne til skjermens faktiske oppløsning (f.eks. 2560x1440).
• Windowed Resolution: Sett denne til 1024x768 (Kvalitet) eller 800x600 (Ytelse). FSR vil nå magisk skalere dette opp til fullskjerm.
• FPS-lås: Sett Max FPS til 40. Dette holder temperaturen nede (ofte under 70°C) og fjerner hakking.

5. Butikken (The Store)​

Ved å bruke wine-stable i stedet for Proton, vil spillet sende forespørsler om butikken direkte til din standard nettleser (Chrome/Firefox) på desktopen. Dette fjerner alle krasj knyttet til den innebygde butikken.

Question in text really. Everyone I know who does use Linux has Engineer Brain and enjoys problem solving and doing lots of manual fiddling with their OS. As someone who just wants to be able to plug in and play and not faff around with technical installation issues, is Linux gaming at a point where a computer casual can get on it? If so, what would be the OS and software to look at?

I downloaded Heroic Games Launcher on my Chromebook through Linux (Debian) and when I click on the icon it doesn't do anything, what can i do to fix this?

I looked it up and it said to just type Heroic into Terminal and this is the results I got from doing that:

-bash: Heroic: command not found
