gamescope is a great compositor for gaming developed by Valve. I’ve had issues running gamescope on top of Hyprland, so I had the idea to run gamescope on another TTY to play my favorite games.

I’m still unsure if there is much performance benefit over just running the game in Hyprland. It probably depends on the hardware from PC to PC. Either way, this little program I wrote lets you choose which monitor you want to game on, what odd resolution you want to use (I like 4:3 stretched in some games), and what refresh rate you want to target.

I always found it a bit annoying to run gamescope by itself, so the goal here was to make that as painless as possible: no desktop environment, no window manager, no extra compositor. Just gamescope, Steam, and the game.

Might change the name.. lol.. my wife just told me it looks like I'm trying to say "smutty".. going to keep it for now but maybe a name change should be done... I'd like to keep the command the same as the name though so any suggestions would be great.

Does anyone else have GPU spikes when gaming on Wayland?

I installed Mafia: Definitive Edition on Pop!_OS a while ago and nearly finished the game with no issues—everything ran great. Then I decided to try Hyprland. I installed it, had some fun, and later reinstalled Mafia DE. That’s when the problems started.

My GPU began whining nonstop and was pulling around 80–85W while only showing 30–40% usage. I tried limiting the FPS, but it didn’t help. For some reason, on Pop!_OS it worked perfectly out of the box, but on Hyprland and EndeavourOS (Plasma/Wayland), it doesn’t. I can't play with such nois

What is the major difference for me to feel those changes?

I’m running the game through Heroic Games Launcher. My setup: RTX 4060 Ryzen 5 7600 32GB RAM 1TB Kingston NVMe SSD

So I am curious what settings should I use on heroic launcher to get the maximum performance I could. I use EndeavourOS, gnome, wayland.
Should I use ntsync and how do I enable it? Will I need to disable fsync and esync in heroic settings?
Do I need to enable vsync or is it better to just cap my fps at 140? Should I cap fps with in-game settings or in heroic launcher? (I cap fps to lessen the noise from my laptop)
Which proton should I use? Proton-GE/Proton-cachyos or maybe something else?

Thanks for any help.

I'm broke so my computer is a 2013 imac however it uses a 755m GeForce gpu is that good enough? It ran decent on a lightweight version of windows 10 (enterprise ltsc) will it run better or the same on cachyos or is it too old for the distro

Hey, everybody! I'm a senior in high school about to buy a new (for me) laptop and I plan on installing Linux once I buy it. I also have no previous experience with Linux. I've been wanting to get out of Windows for a while. The laptop I'm buying is an HP ZBook 15 G6 with a Quadro RTX 3000 GPU and an i7 CPU. I was just wondering what the best version of Linux is to run both games (such as Final Fantasy 15) and any applications that I might need for college.

I have a very tight budget so i can't buy a pc. the ram and memory price is crazy. My main purpose is gaming.

I use Linux and had this having, I used to fix it by exit Steam and then re open it and my wishlist will look normal, yet this time it will stay like this what ever I did.

I was curious, aside from anti-cheat, what things that are currently a PITA for you to deal with if or when you have developed for Linux. Is it easier than Windows? Or does Wayland or other Linux related things make you want to have your legs ran over by a train?

Hello all, I recently did the switch from Windows to Linux (Cachyos and KDE) and there's one problem I've spent the last week trying to fix that I can't find any solution.

Is there any way to keep battle.net open and have my pc go inactive/sleep?

Currently i use Heroic Launcher for battle.net. I tried Lutris and it has the same problem. I have bottles installed, but i would prefer to not use it.

I know I could just close battle.net after I launch a game so my pc would go to sleep/inactive once I'm done gaming, but it gets annoying when I play Diablo II I have to change server for trading.

The big problem other than the fact that it keeps my PC active, is that I don't receive push notification from discord.

systemd-inhibit doesn't show battle.net in the list, so it seems that it keeps my pc awake in the same way moving my mouse or using my keyboard would?

The author is no longer maintaining it and I'd very much like to find a replacement so I can manually manage my fan curves.

Thank you!

I have downloaded a quacked crusader kings III native Linux version but when I try to add the game to Heroic, the Launcher doesn't seem to detect the game's executable. How can I add this native linux executables to Heroic? Pls help, I searched everywhere and haven't found an answer

This is how the file looks when I click to choose the executable path in Heroic

Here's how it looks normally on my file browser. You can clearly see the game's executable

Bought basically a whole new computer at Microcenter, I had bought 9800x3d last year and and have bought the rest of the computer now. My old computer is a 12400f and 6800xt. Only the ssd will be moved to the new system. My understanding based on my research is that the kernal should take of everything and everything will be fine. However if think saw somewhere that switching cpu's could cause issues with microcode or the motherboard chipset could cause some issues. But I wanted ask to see what people who have done something similar what their experience was.

edit: new GPU is 9070xt and the distro is Nobara

Hi All, I have read that this wheel can work in linux but my efforts have hit a brick wall... I can see that you have to run the following command to get into PC mode:

sudo usb_modeswitch -v 046d -p c26d -M 0f00010142 -C 0x03 -m 01 -r 01

After running that command the wheel does a calibration and changes to c26e which is expected. The oversteer application does not see any wheel attached and I have tried dirt rally which also fails to see the wheel. A lot of the guides say to use new-lg4ff driver but the readme for new-lg4ff says that it does not work with the xbox version and that support is already in the kernel from 6.3 onwards. My question is, does anyone have this working on kernel 6.17.x or higher? Thanks.

I moved from Arch to CachyOS without formatting my /home to save large files. It caused terrible, time-consuming issues by inheriting old config files.

🛑 My Problems (and the Culprit)

1. DualSense Controller made games launched trhu heroic to crash when trying to use dualsense controller:(CP2077 instantly froze upon controller input)
   • Fix: DELETED and recreated the corrupted Wine Prefix.
2. Broken HDR Calibration: Color/Graphics settings were non-functional under KDE hdr callibration tool
   • Fix: erased Conflicts in inherited desktop config files (~/.config/)

✅ THE BEST PRACTICE

To avoid carrying over these conflicts, do not keep your old /home partition untouched, at least erase everything from /.config ; /.local ,etc

You can keep your files: video, music etc, but not config files.

If you already migrated, manually delete all old game prefixes and clear system cache folders like ~/.cache/ and desktop config folders like ~/.config/

Hello I want to switch to linux so with CachyOS as my distro of choice but I am not sure which filesystem I should use.

I really want snapshoots just in case something breaks I heard btrfs is the way to go for this. I also heard that btrfs is slower and bad for the life cycle of an ssd.

So I thought would it be a good idea to only have btrfs for /root and choose ext4 for the /home where my games and programms are installed. Because in case something breaks having snapshoots on /root would be enough? You wouldn't need snapshoots for /home to fix your system in case somethings breaks right?
