DO YOU KNOW IF THERE IS ANY PROGRAM THAT WORKS WITH THE CAT STREAM DECK APP FOR PHONE?
Hello, on Windows I could use Streamdeck el gato program with the phone through its app. My question is, is there any way to do that on Linux? PD:Sorry, my English is basic and I forgot that putting the brand of the stream deck would pass it to the cat lol.

Is Windows really the problem, or is it DirectX?
Just a little thought I had. A lot of windows games stutter and perform worse for me than they do on Linux(all Amd system), even though my windows install is clean. So is it really that windows as an OS hogs more system resources, or is it that Vulkan is just much more efficient than directx? Since proton translates games from directx to vulkan

I'm making the switch from Windows!
Checking out System76 laptops and desktops as I'm making the switch from Windows life to Linux life.
I've worked with a couple of distros over my career already and do enjoy each for they all have their quirks.
Now I've just joined this sub and started reading a bit, I used to be a hardcore gamer, I am talking skipping school for a midnight release having a whole month to enjoy myself.
Fast forward to recent years I'm not so much a hardcore gamer but do want to jump on something when I've got some spare time.
Games I would like to play: - Cities Skylines 2, World of Warcraft, League of Legends, Jurassic World
Linux Questions: - Is there a place to check what games run on Linux via steam or distros that have more driver support than others? - Any distros the community recommends to use for the above or more games?
Any feedback would be great!

Weird dns servers on my steam deck
There is a dns named menandmice in the firewall connections. It is established. Does the steam deck have this by default?

Plzz help me with your knowledge!
So I recently bought a mini pc with windows and steam deck separate and you meant to have a choice when booting. Personally hate the steam deck! (it keeps thinking I'm using controller, its not letting me use my headphones on most games (I might be able to troubleshoot this but been doing a lot of that since getting this) and got no access to both comands (alt f4, alt tab etc.) and steam while in game.
Now my question is... does having steam deck separate provide a significant performance boost? If it doesnt I'd rather go to just good old windows (even tho I hate windows 10)

CS2 improvements
Anyone else notice high user utilization on cs2. I have been getting between 150 and 250 fps since cs2 was released. Recently noticed I get around 250 to 300 fps. Gpu utilization went from 60 - 80 to 80- 90 percent. Which is nice.
My specs are 5600x and Rx 6800 32GB DDr4 ram. Wayland native res 16x9 1080p. Arch BTW.

GNOME desktop issue after wake up (RTX5090)
I'm hoping someone will have some pointers on this issue I'm experiencing. I'm exhausted and any points are deeply appreciated. Here's my hardware:
- Gigabyte Aorus Stealth Ice X870
- Ryzen 9950X3D
- RTX 5090
Here's more context about the OS setup:
- Dual OS
- Windows 11 on a 4TB SSD
- Ubuntu 25.04 Server Edition on a RAID0 array
- The array consists of 2x4TB SSD. Managed through mdadm
- GNOME Desktop installed separately
- Because Ubuntu 25.05 Desktop installer has an known issue that cause it to not recognize RAID disks, I was forced to install the Server edition, then install GNOME
- BIOS cleared and default
Here's the issue I'm experiencing:
When my monitor is plugged in (HDMI) to the RTX5090, Ubuntu wakes up from sleep ("Suspended" state) with fucked up UI (photos), some weird behaviors:
- Sometimes, there's a random number on screen (I think it's a part of the clock)
- Sometimes, I can see the login field and even login, and I can even login
- Sometimes, ctrl+alt+T will bring up the terminal, other times it will not
So obviously some kind of display / UI issue where not all the contents that should be shown are displayed. I can tell the OS is still working fine underneath. More context:
- Issue not there on windows, can sleep -> wakeup just fine
- Going to sleep takes a few extra seconds compared to Windows
- Most importantly, the issue is not present if I have the monitor plugged in through the motherboard's HDMI. Hence this only happens when using the RTX5090.
Tried two different Nvidia drivers (nvidia-driver-570-open and nvidia-driver-575-open), no difference. I'm guessing it's GNOME having some trouble using the GPU? And maybe has something to do with the fact that it's the server edition?
Thank you for your help in advance!

Anyone knows why Marvel Rivals is dropping frames everytime i play with my laptop plugged in?
As the title suggests, when i play Marvel Rivals, the games starts dropping fps if i put the laptop on charge. There is no issue with the laptop or drivers, because it works good when the laptop is not on charge but when i plug it in it starts to act up. I tried to turn off extra performance when the laptop is plugged in but it seems to have no effect on Marvel Rivals itself. If anyone knows what to do i would be glad to get the help

Windows 10 to Linux Minecraft compatibility
Hey everyone, I’m thinking about switching to Linux but I’m a bit worried about my games — especially Minecraft and the mods I use.
I’ve heard about Wine and compatibility layers, but I’m not sure how well Minecraft mods run on Linux, or if I’ll run into issues. I do know that some games just don’t work well on Linux (looking at you, Valorant), but Minecraft isn’t usually one of those.
The reason this is important for me is because I’m a Minecraft mod developer!
If you have experience running Minecraft and modpacks on Linux, can you share your insights? How’s the compatibility, performance, and setup process?
I’m totally new to Linux and would appreciate any advice or tips. Thanks in advance!

#Drive rally is causing my laptop to freeze any advice welcom
I recently switched from windows to Kubuntu (Ubuntu 25.04) on my dell laptop with:
- 11th gen i5-11300H
- TigerLake GT2 Iris Xe integrated graphics and
- 16 GB of ram
But whenever I play #Drive rally (using steam's proton experimental) after a few minutes the my computer freezes, audio still plays in the background but I am unable to interact with anything other than to hard shut down my laptop. If anyone else has encountered this problem or has thoughts on how to fix it please tell me

Finally a Real Fix for Dual Boot Steam Installs: OverlayFS with NTFS
Hey everyone,
If you're dual booting Windows and Linux and want to share your Steam library without duplicating game installations, here's a setup that has saved me a ton of storage and frustration.
The Problem Steam installs platform specific files like executables and launchers depending on the operating system. Since those files can conflict between Windows and Linux, users often create separate installations for each OS to prevent corruption. This approach wastes disk space and forces redundant downloads, even though most game assets like textures and audio files are identical across both platforms.
Using a shared Steam library on an NTFS partition might seem like a solution, but it creates new issues. Steam repeatedly downloads and replaces executables depending on the current OS, causing instability. NTFS, when written to from Linux, has a reputation for corruption risks, especially with Proton setups or symbolic links.
To avoid these problems, many users maintain two separate libraries, one for Windows and one for Linux. This doubles disk usage and causes updates to be downloaded twice, even though the core data is nearly the same.
The Solution OverlayFS on Linux allows you to mount a read-only NTFS partition as the lower layer and save only Linux specific changes to a writable upper layer. The result is a unified view where Steam sees a complete installation, but only Linux specific files like executables and configs are stored separately.
This allows Linux to see a complete game install while only storing Linux specific changes and without touching or modifying the actual data on the NTFS partition.
Any other changes like shader caches or asset tweaks can also be safely layered through the upper directory without modifying the original NTFS data. This setup keeps your Windows install intact while minimizing storage and download overhead on Linux.
How it works
- NTFS partition with the original Windows install is mounted read-only in Linux.
- Upper directory stores Linux specific files like Proton binaries or configuration overrides.
- OverlayFS combines both into a seamless virtual filesystem for Steam.
Benefits
- No duplicated installs. Only the Linux layer stores changes.
- Read-only access protects the Windows files.
- Minimal disk usage and no redundant downloads.
My setup looks as follows
What I did was overlay the entire Windows SteamLibrary disk, not just individual game folders. This lets Linux access and modify the necessary game files without ever touching the original data.
1. NTFS partition mounted read-only (Windows SteamLibrary HDD):
UUID=... /mnt/ntfs ntfs ro 0 02. Separate partition for overlay data (could also be a folder in /):
UUID=... /mnt/overlay ext4 defaults 0 03. OverlayFS entry merging both into one view:
overlay /mnt/overlay/merged overlay noauto,x-systemd.automount,lowerdir=/mnt/ntfs,upperdir=/mnt/overlay/upper,workdir=/mnt/overlay/workThe noauto,x-systemd.automount option is essential, without it, the overlay won't mount correctly at boot or when accessed. This ensures the merged view becomes active only when needed, avoiding startup issues and making mounting dynamic and reliable.
This gives me /mnt/overlay/merged as the unified filesystem where Steam under Linux sees the full game installation. Linux-specific changes like Proton executables and configs go into the upper layer, while the base game remains untouched in the lower NTFS layer.

Lossless Scaling works better for me on Linux than on Windows!
Days Gone doesn’t work with Lossless Scaling on Windows, it's a known issue. I have a 180Hz monitor and was getting around 100–120 FPS, but it never felt smooth. Usually, when I get around 90 FPS in games, I cap it at 90 and use Lossless Scaling in 2x mode, it works perfectly and feels super smooth. Recently I found out that Lossless Scaling works on Linux now too. I tried it today and was honestly shocked, it runs way better than on Windows, with much lower latency and way more stability. Every time I switch to Linux I realize again how bad Windows actually is. How can software originally made for Windows work better on Linux?

Razer Tartarus causing micro-stuttering in WoW?
OS: Pop!_OS 22.04
Hey all, I've been playing WoW on Linux with a Razer Tartarus v2 for a couple of years. I use Input Remapper to bind the keys.
A few months ago (it could have been happening for longer), I noticed that the game will occasionally micro-stutter when I'm pressing keys on the Tartarus. I also noticed that this only happens with the Tartarus - if I use my normal keyboard to play (cutting out both the Tartarus and Input Remapper), there is no more micro-stuttering. If I stop injecting my keybinds in Input Remapper and use the Tartarus "raw" in WoW, I still get micro-stuttering. The issue also persists in WoW across Lutris, Bottles, and various versions of Wine and Proton.
I assumed that the problem was with the Tartarus itself. My unit is very old, so today, I upgraded from the Tartarus v2 to the Tartarus Pro. Lo and behold, the micro-stuttering persists.
I am not sure how to further troubleshoot this. Has anyone had any similar issues with the Tartarus or a similar device? I could ditch the device altogether, but since I have 15 years of muscle memory of playing WoW with a gamepad like this, I'd rather not, haha.
Thanks!
