Sober behaving weirdly
So I was using Sober on my steamdeck as usual, but the arrow key stopped working correctly. They started just moving me or the camera slightly in one direction instead of what they were supposed to do. I tried factory reset and it worked for a short time just for the issue to appear again.

I made a keyboard-only FPV drone game with vim keybindings - runs on Linux and browser
hjkl to fly, : for command mode. No controller needed.
:god and :auto together make it practically fly itself.
Procedural terrain and city stage, both infinite.

I can't install the Repentence DLC, even though I own it.
I tried asking steam support for help, but apparently Steam for Linux is not supported on the version I'm using (Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit). They basically told I have to rely on the community, so here I am.

Heroic managed ge-proton - is it OK to symlink so Steam can share it?
I seem to have 2 different ge-proton installed. One managed by Heroic, the other directly into the ~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/ folder for use with Steam. Can Heroic and Steam comfortably share the same install and therefore can I just symlink from ~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/ to the Heroic ge-proton installation?

P5X refuses to work no matter what
It's either not enough space or that Qt plugin error which doesn't even let me launch the game. This is all so very annoying.

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw low framerate
I can get the game to launch but the framerate is unplayably low. I looked around but can't find any solution. It's the gog version and I'm on bazzite.
Edit: it also gets stuck loading at various points depending on which version of wine/proton I'm using

Please can somebody help me setup tablet for osu on linux fedora?
I decided to try osu, since I already have a tablet (xppen star 03 v2), I installed linux vesion of osu (appimage), everything is setup, but it doesn't detect a tablet. I've learned that for osu I need OTD, which I installed, but it also doesn't detect my tablet I suspect it is because my driver from xppen conflicts with it and maybe fedora kde's tablet driver. So how do I go about setup, I've started by using ai to help, but then chickened out and reverted back fearing that it'll fuck up my tablet or just make some tangled mess of problems. I've installed OTD from website not from flathub

Has anyone had any luck with running resident evil 1? I'm getting into an issue where the game crashes due to cutscenes being some kind of format
Should I switch to Linux?
Currently using windows 11 enterprise LTSC.. Although I'm worried about how much data microsoft takes from me without my knowledge. I'm thinking to switch to linux but, I've had very bad experience in the past with linux due to my old hardware I had which caused bad driver support..
I mainly use windows for gaming on my pc that's all. Don't plan on using anything else as of rn.. Also I play a few games so it might be easier to me on linux? Idk, I'll list down my laptop specifications which I use to play games aswell as the games..
Valorant (this wouldn't run and I'm fine with it) Bloodstrike (by netease games I need this to run) Kovaaks (This is what I mostly play and I need this to run) Minecraft 1.8 ( this will run cause opengl.)
Let me know which distros are good for me.
And how do I make these games run.
My laptop specifications.
Ryzen 5 5625u
16gb ddr4 (single channel)
vega 7 (apu)
512 ssd..
No idea if vega7 has good driver support on linux and if I'll have performance impact or no comparing to windows.
Any help will be appreciated

Scaling mouse sensitivity
Does anyone know of a tool/environment variable I can use to scale the mouse sensitivity that goes into a steam game (we can assume Proton is involved)? Some games have really dumb sensitivity options (like integer sensitivities where the sweet spot is a really low number and a 1 point change is a lot).

Need for Speed Pro Street and Need for Speed Underground 2 doesn't launch.
Hi I'm unable to launcher these 2 games (planning on test it on Most Wanted and Carbon too) in Bottles (not the flatpak version).
Used Proton GE 7.30 because I heard the latest Proton GE didnt work at all. Running CachyOS on my PC.
What caused the issue? Because few months ago it its able to run pro street, then I left my pc for months (and then updating them). Already remaking the prefix from scratch but still doest work.

Counter-Strike 2 - message and time+date texts using blackletter for some reason
I don't know if anyone is having this problem, but after a long time without playing CS:2 I noticed this yesterday. I'm unsure if I'm missing a font in my system or what.
Fedora 43 KDE, RPM Fusion Steam.

Assertion Failed: vkallocatememory
I'm trying to play Witchfire on my PC but the game crashes constantly after around 20-30 minutes of play time.
Here's the error that pops up and here are my specs:
OS: Fedora GNOME
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H (12) @ 4.50 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
RAM: 16 GB
Proton versions I've tried:
Proton 10.0-4
Proton Experimental
Proton GE-32
The error seems to be some sort of memory leak but I can't identify what's causing it and there's nobody on protondb that's reporting the same issue so it's kinda driving me crazy. For reference I just played Resident Evil Requiem on the same setup at stable 60 FPS and it was an extremely smooth experience, so I know it's not my PC. Any help would be appreciated.

Planning on buying a gaming laptop (Zephyrus G14 w/ 32GB RAM and 5060) and Dual Booting. Need Help!
I hate Winbloat like any other Linux user. However some games need me to use it. Sad story but I won’t stop playing for the time being.
I use NixOS in my desktop, happy and stuff. I was wondering about the state of gaming laptops on Linux. I have some doubts before it, just to paint the picture on how hard it will be…
- I heard the double GPU management was hell. What are some keypoints to fix that? Is there something specific I need?
- How is power management like? Are there any packages that can help with it? How is battery life compared to Windows under optimal conditions?
- How are NVIDIA drivers currently? My desktop uses AMD only so Mesa was all I needed. How is the performance loss nowadays?
- Are there some other considerations I have not yet mentioned?
I appreciate any and all comments… thank you very much!

The Division 2 (Steam) launches Ubisoft Connect with "Connection Lost"
Steam launches with Ubisoft Connect but I get "Connection Lost" from Ubisoft Launcher. Can't log in
I have already tried the MTU fix inside a Linux Terminal.
CachyOS
7900 XTX on latest mesa driver
Tried various proton versions, GE Proton, CachOS Proton and Proton Experimental and 9.0
Any ideas?
Tried all the fixes here
Edit: Fixed it by connecting to a VPN first as suggested here
