Hi, on one of my screens I see "dancing pixels" on a static image, for example screen settings window. This screen is LG, 1080p75hz, 2nd is iiyama 1080p144hz. Now I'm using KDE and the issue occurs, beforehand I had a similar issue on Hyprland & Arch, but disabling of the freesync helped me back then - now - no chances. Both screens are connected via DP cable. Ofc issue does not occur on Windows 11, so it's not a hardware thing. I also forced GDM with a flag usage in my grub configuration.

(Steam news) You all know, steam introduced this extended fps overlay. But even with the latest steam version, I can only select these 2 options. Because actually there should be 4 options.
What should I do? Is there a package missing?
I try delete steam (pacman -Rn steam) and reinstall, butnothing change.

My mouse doesn't support onboard memory for click latency and performance mode and runs on 8ms click latency by default, even on 1000hz polling rate, it has to run driver in the back to get 1ms click and performance mode, it has no driver for linux, I don't know what to do 😭, my games are running crisp, everything is okay, just this one issue.

Can someone more knowledgeable than me help create an appimage of render96ex so there is an easy way to add the native version to the Steam Deck?

Ive installed bazzide on my rog ally with dualboot. But when i turn it on it just boots into bazzite anf grub wont show up. It only shows up when i press escape when turning the ally on. Is there any way that it automaticly shows up when booting?

I'm looking to try just Bazzite on the PC I'm about to put together and I'm mostly interested in it because I'm tired of paying for Microsoft spyware.

Do you dual boot with windows? Or another Linux distro, or at all?

I'm a noob at this and just here for some guidance/inspiration.

I was trying to run Neuromancer (Apple IIGS version) using xkegs emulator, and hit a weird issue where it produces a mono sound that plays in left channel which is super annoying. You can remap things for pipewire with something like qpwgraph, but it also can be scripted.

I ended up doing something like this in a script:

pw-link --disconnect 'KEGS:output_FR' '<my_audio_card_sink>:playback_FR' pw-link 'KEGS:output_FL' '<my_audio_card_sink>:playback_FR'

This connects left channel of the output from Kegs to right channel of audio sink, making mono duplicated on both channels.

Just wanted to share if anyone needs such idea.

To analyze your current links, run something like this:

pw-link --links --id

Or use qpwgraph as above.

I have been using linux for a while, well tbh, it's just there as a separate operating system on my pc since only very few competitive/multiplayer games run natively on linux. Alot of things I do on linux works smooth, feels crisper than windows. But everyone launches/optimizes windows not linux and me angy. What went wrong in this timeline?

I just want to make sure the game runs well before checking "Linux" in the Steam supported platforms.

Full, free Linux build

Steam page

Please let me know:

1. If the game starts

2. Running smooth

3. Music works

4. Progress is preserved between game launches.

Thank you 🙏

Hey folks, I just wanted to know if anyone else was also having this issue and I'm not the only one going crazy here. I've been playing a lot of HD2 on Ultra graphics and usually after a certain point, the game freezes before the screen goes black and KDE comes back with a notification saying "Desktop effects were restarted due to a graphics reset". This happens ALL the time after like, maybe 30 minutes to an hour, And I have no idea what's causing this. Any information about this would be very helpful, Here are the System specs

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X (16) @ 4.85 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT [Discrete]
Memory: 9.38 GiB / 31.25 GiB (30%)
DE: KDE Plasma 6.3.5
OS: Nobara Linux 42 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition) x86_64
Kernel: Linux 6.15.4-200.nobara.fc42.x86_64

Hey guys, so I use debian KDE plasma and recently found out that wuthering waves can be played on steam with GE proton 10-8. And it works...or so I thought.

Every time I play the game, it only runs for about 10 minutes until it decides to crash and shut down my laptop along with it. I suspected its an overheating problem, but it's not. The temperature reaches 65 -75 degree celcius while on low settings. My laptop can handle games like Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro but fails to run an anime fairy game? Something tells me it's the software that's faulty.

My specs:
Dedicated Graphics: NVIDIA Geforce MX330
Integrated Graphics: Intel Arc
CPU: Intel i5 11th gen
Storage: SSD

i tested a one armed robbery using proton experimental with vulkan swrast on my i3 gen 3 intel CPU and the experience was not great first for anyone who has no idea what vulkan swrast is it basically it translates and puts the load on the CPU for short "Software Rendering"which basically ignores the GPU all together and the CPU does the work instead for anybody interested in this with an igpu wanting to play games make sure you have a relay good processor

I did not make much research so i might be wrong fell free to correct me
