I submitted this issue to the gamescope repo after I drilled down the issue to gamescope headless mode. For whatever reason, in Expedition 33 specifically, the shadows look blocky and it's really distracting. Running this game with a gamescope wrapper on gnome or plasma looks fine, so I think this is specifically related to the gamescope compositor but I really don't know.

In my experience with gaming on Linux, there's some dependency I'm missing or something but I just can't figure it out. Does anyone have any ideas of things I can try? Hardware is in the github issue.

Hello guys, I hope some of you can help me. Unfortunately I am new to linux :*) Thanks in advance:

Running ts3server is giving me problems: ❯ sudo /usr/bin/ts3server [sudo] password for <USER>: 2025-12-09 10:46:08.255477|INFO |ServerLibPriv | |TeamSpeak 3 Server 3.13.7 (2022-06-20 12:21:53) 2025-12-09 10:46:08.255566|INFO |ServerLibPriv | |SystemInformation: Linux 6.18.0-1-cachyos-bore #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 05 Dec 2025 17:57:29 +0000 x86_64 Binary: 64bit 2025-12-09 10:46:08.255590|INFO |ServerLibPriv | |Using hardware aes 2025-12-09 10:46:08.256005|INFO |DatabaseQuery | |dbPlugin name: SQLite3 plugin, Version 3, (c)TeamSpeak Systems GmbH 2025-12-09 10:46:08.256030|INFO |DatabaseQuery | |dbPlugin version: 3.11.1 2025-12-09 10:46:08.256180|INFO |DatabaseQuery | |checking database integrity (may take a while) 2025-12-09 10:46:08.256678|CRITICAL|DatabaseQuery | |setSQLfromFile( file:create_sqlite/create_tables.sql) failed

So it took me ages to get to this point already. I had difficulties creating the .ts3server_license_accepted in the 'working directory'. Only understanding by coincidence that ~ in my konsole was the working directory. And that ~ was actually referring to /home/<USER>/ . So I obviously have difficulty interpreting logs and errors in the right context as just telling me to go to /home/<USER>/ is apparently not how linux communicates.

Google as of yet isn't much help as I don't understand enough to translate results to my specific install/version, and because in general google changed from something helpful to something that is there to annoy it's user with the irrelevancy of its results. Chatgpt has proven itself to be less reliable than the crackheads in my neighborhood so that is also not an option.

So anyway I think ts3server is not running. I don't know for sure though. Connecting with the client to 127.0.0.1 doesn't work. And I can't find it in btop++. And the following command (ps aux | grep ts3server) returns: <USER> 24473 0.0 0.0 7088 4152 pts/0 S<+ 12:06 0:00 grep --color=auto ts3server

Which according to some search results means it is running, and to others it means that it is not running. Chatgpt is telling me he 'now understands everything' after I verbally abuse it but still doesn't actually understanding anything.

Anyway the main stuff is in /usr/share/teamspeak3-server/ (which is pretty normal I think). Pacman install gave no errors so why is it not running (or is it?) and how do I fix the sql error (and is it even a problem?)

When and if I finally get it to run I also want to a desktop shortcut to start and stop it. As I only want to host it at most 2 day's a month. But solving the first problem will make my day already. Yes I do want to self host it. As I always did in windows.

Thank you all and have good day!

Hey,

Right now I’m running Bazzite in dual boot with Windows. The main reason is NVIDIA + Secure Boot, since some of the games I currently play require it. This works fine for now.

In about a year, that won’t be the case anymore and I plan to move fully to Linux. At that point Secure Boot won’t matter, so I’ll have full freedom to choose a distro.

I’ve been looking closely at CachyOS because of its performance-oriented approach, but I’m a bit cautious. I can’t help remembering what happened with Manjaro, and I’m wondering if CachyOS could eventually face similar issues.

My question is:

If something were to go wrong with CachyOS in the future, would switching to official Arch repos be a viable way to “fix” things?

My goal with this future reinstall is performance and learning, but this would also be my main PC, so I’d rather avoid having to nuke and reinstall the system every few years.

For context, I’m not new to Linux. I’ve been tinkering with PCs forever and have used everything from mainstream Ubuntu to the early, very rough versions of SteamOS on spare laptops.

Thanks in advance!

My Weekend Project: DOOM in Terminal with OpenTUI

Inspired by the amazing terminal DOOM ports (doom-ascii, terminal-doom), I wanted to learn more about:

• WebAssembly compilation with Emscripten
• OpenTUI's rendering capabilities
• Modern terminal frameworks

So I built opentui-doom! Tech Stack:

• TypeScript for modern DX
• WebAssembly (WASM) for game logic
• OpenTUI framework for terminal rendering
• doomgeneric as the DOOM base

Easy to try:

bunx @muhammedaksam/opentui-doom --wad ./doom1.wad

Still a work in progress.

Not the first terminal DOOM, but a fun exploration of modern terminal capabilities!

I bought motorfest in this steam sale but it does not run at all. I get a wine error debug window and it refuses to run. I have already returned the game and refunded, but i am still interested in it.

I have already seen a video of it running well on a steam deck and thought it will work fine. but after i bought it, it kept crashing. I then looked through protonDB and there are people reporting the issue from last month. The issue has also been discussed in the motor fest steam community, but no solution was found.

If motor fest runs well for you, what OS are you using?
I am running the Lenovo Legion Go with bazziteOS.

I recently switched to Linux (pop os to be specific, since I have a nvidia gpu). Im running the game on steam with proton 10 and is playing smooth with zero lags, but my one problem is that there is a constant crackling sound while playing, even if I close all other windows I had open ect. And I also played around with the options in the audio settings.

Is there maybe a command I have to do or install some audio input ect.
