Running Artix-s6 LXQt (Though it's not particularly related to the problem?)

SO
after I got my new monitor, this issue has appeared twice. Once, it showed up with steam itself in big picture mode (Plasma 6 (Wayland, duh) on Fedora 40). The second time, today, it comes up with Monster Hunter: World (LXQt X11 in Artix Linux).

Does anyone know why this is happening? It starts when I tab into the program, and nothing new shows up in the Xorg.0.log. My DE uses XScreensaver and this only started happening after a while of idling in MHW. It's completely blanking my monitor as if it's experiencing signal loss. The monitor doesn't complain about losing signal, nor does the light turn orange.

Hi there

I come to announce my last project for the Linux community: DXVK-Sarek. The idea behind this project is to backport game specific configurations and QOL patches from the latest version of DXVK and adapt them to the resources under the 1.10.x branch. The name "Sarek" comes from Proton-Sarek, my custom Proton build designed to function as a legacy version, making it more suitable for users with incomplete Vulkan support or no Vulkan support at all.

The DXVK-Sarek repository started just yesterday. For now, you won't see any releases as I'll be focusing on backporting and updating configurations, followed by testing and repeating the process.
Once I determine that everything is stable and performing well, I will create a standalone release that includes both normal and async versions, and include them on the new releases under Proton-Sarek too.

Thats all for now, GLHF :)

Good afternoon, r/linux_gaming community!

I’m a solo developer creating an open-world RTS game designed to be playable directly in your browser. Players compete for resources, territory, and dominance in a persistent online world. As the game is still in early development, I’m looking for Linux gamers/developers to help test it, provide feedback and join the community.

Key Features:

• Persistent gameplay: The world evolves continuously, even when you’re offline.
• Open-world RTS: Large-scale competition for resources and territories.
• Dynamic unit management: No cap on the number of units (though performance currently degrades after ~500 units).

Technical Details:

• The game is built using JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, and tested on Ubuntu 23.04.
• I’ve tested compatibility with Edge and Chromium browsers.
• The server runs on a Dockerized Ubuntu 23.04 instance hosted on Linode.

What I Need Help With:

• Testing performance: Does the game run smoothly with 20+ players? Performance drops significantly when scaling up units, and I want to identify bottlenecks.
• General feedback: Is the gameplay engaging? Open to player recommendations and suggestions?

Known Issues:

• The game becomes laggy when managing large unit counts (working on optimizing this).
• Best results are observed in Chromium-based browsers so far, though Edge is supported.

How to Get Involved:

If this sounds interesting and you’d like to help test the game, please send me a chat message. I’ll provide access details and specific areas where feedback would be most helpful. Bug reports with logs, browser console output, or screenshots would be especially appreciated!

Your contributions will help improve the game and ensure Linux users have a seamless experience. Thank you for considering this, and I look forward to your input!

From the wiki, it seems like arch is the way to go, with KDE as the desktop. But I'm curious to hear other's opinions.

My main questions are how annoying (or not) is Arch to live with day-to-day? Do I have to worry about updating the OS bricking the system? Do I need to worry about resolving package compatibilities once a month or more? Is it polished like Ubuntu stable, or is it more chaos like Nightly Gentoo?

Is it the case that out of the box Arch is good, but once you start tweaking it for gaming it becomes a nightmare for normal use? Do I need to have one boot environment for gaming and one for everything else, or will they co-habitate / just require me to make a script to swap settings back and forth?

Is there another distro I should use instead of arch? I do plan to keep as many of my files as possible on a separate partition, just in case I need to reload/change the OS.

---Context below---

I've worked with linux professionally for years. I use it personally, but always headless. I've launched X over SSH more than I've used an actual desktop environment. So...I'm extremely comfortable scripting things, automating things, looking at logs, that sort of stuff. Normal sysadmin or devops type tasks.

That's a VERY different life from using it as a daily driver for desktop. Using windows isn't an option for me. I'd rather not own a computer than install windows 10/11/etc. I can read guides and google around, but what I don't have is the day-to-day experience. How fickle or fragile something might be. Like "Oh, be careful updating arch, it could brick your system." would be good to know. Ubuntu only ever bricked my system once, but fixing it wasn't too bad.

My first linux distro was Gentoo back in the 2008-ish era. I don't mind life on hard mode. :p I eventually switched over to Ubuntu because compiling everything took.forever. I used Red Hat, Suse, and AIX at work. Red Hat is a huge PITA because they want to do everything 'their way'. SUSE was never very fun because it was so niche. AIX...bloody hell.

What I plan to do:

• Gaming (Helldivers 2, Factorio, Deep Rock Galactic, older games (like 2010 era AAA games).
• AI inference (image/voice/music generation, LLMs for chatting, etc; not planning to get into training/tuning at this time).
• Video encoding/transcoding. Not so much video editing, more just format shifting or re-encoding from GoPro raw to more efficient formats. I currently use FFMPEG for all this, and will stick with that.
• VMs. I'll miss VMware Workstation, but the time has come. For what I do, KVM is probably fine. Virtualbox if I have to.

Hardware:

9800x3d + x870e chipset. No special PCIe cards or add-in devices. Nvidia GPU purely for AI (I know, I'd love to use AMD, but Nvidia inference is literally 30-50% faster :( )

Greetings.

I've been going through my CDVD collection checking up on which games work and I'm almost half-way through.
But is there any site I could report my findings? I'm pretty sure most of the games likely are not even on Steam as they are quite old by now.

I don't think I can post the reports to the WineHQ site as I don't deal with Wine directly, just Proton (which does use Wine, I know).

Hi guys, I'm starting on the topics of operating systems, virtual machine etc, I have a laptop with an i3 370, 4 GB Ram (I think it's DDR2), 250 HDD, currently has Linux mint Xfce thanks to a bootable USB and honestly I would like to play some what other light game, however I have had problems with the Steam directory (something like that, I do not remember well) and I can not do some things, at the moment I have only been able to use it to watch anime, videos, for documents in free Office and already, I feel that I am already used to it and I would like to try another Linux distribution and I thought about Arch Linux or Kali Linux but I don't know if I have enough knowledge to install it on the laptop, what topics do you recommend me to learn to start well with these distributions? Later I will try to upload a picture or screenshot where I can see the components of the laptop and the Linux version (I think it was Mint 22).

A while ago I came across a Decky plugin for my Steamdeck that allows you to run a trainer/cheat executable (.exe) alongside a game you want to run it with.

I found this super useful however I’m encountering an issue with running .exe files. So I switched to Desktop Mode and I’m told that “For safety reasons, launching executables is not allowed in this context”

I tried Lutris to run the .exe, and it works somewhat however after the “initialization” the .exe no longer runs on Lutris or by itself.

Is there any way to run a .exe file so I can use the cheat/trainer alongside the game? I’ve tried using proton-tricks, wine, and adding the game to my Steam library as a non steam game (but unfortunately I need to run it alongside the actual game, preferably before the game launches) Any help would be much appreciated.

So my desktop is running PopOS and I have a media center/VR machine in my living room running windows 10. I figure the easiest way to play windows games on my desktop is to stream from my living room PC. Trying multiple games, they all seem to stream audio fine, And my cursor turns to the in game cursor, but I don't get any video; the screen remains black.

So first, I just want to make sure this should be a valid way to run windows games on my linux machine. 2nd, any troubleshooting ideas would be welcome.

desktop PC: up to date PopOS; 13900k, 7900xtx, 2x32gb ram

living room pc: win 10, 5800x3d, rtx 3080, 2x16gb ram

When I play Runescape through the steam client I always get a black bar beneath the game window, but it goes away whenever I play in full screen. I'm using Proton Experimental, on Linux Mint 21.1 and it seems to persist regardless of Proton selection.

This doesn't occur when I use 3rd party clients.

How do I keep the window size to be only the game size?
