I tried to connect my Joy-Con pair to my machine running Linux Mint 22.2.

It seemed to work initially and my machine said that it connnected, but I noticed that the lights on the Joy-Con are still blinking (as if it's in pairing mode) and there doesn't seem to be any data being transmitted (based on what Bluetooth Manager is showing). If I turn off Bluetooth and turn it on again, then connect the controllers, sometimes it will say there's an input/output error, other times the Joy-Con repeatedly connect and disconnect.

I already tried to upgrade kernel from 6.8 to 6.14 and it didn't change anything.

I'm using the built-in WiFi/Bluetooth from an ASUS TUF GAMING B850M-PLUS WIFI.

Trying to run RDO on steam on linux mint, most proton versions have me stuck on loading screen. Proton 10 beta has gotten me past the little loading bar but then it freezes at the shotgun intro. (and yes ive tried GE, didnt do much)

Five minutes into SB and of course it overheats. After stress testing this thing on Windows 11 last weekend, never had this problem, so guessing chipset drivers?

Anything someone interested in me testing out?

I've spent the last two days trying to get mod organizer 2 working for linux. I have no idea where to go from here. I will send the crash report.

On Arch Linux, Dota 2 launches and then freezes at the very first Dota/intro logo. If I reboot the PC, it launches fine afterwards. I've been running Dota 2 flawlessly for the past 2 years...

What I’ve tried (each tried separately):

• Launch options: -novid -autoconfig
• One-time OpenGL test: -gl -novid
• Disabled overlays/layers: toggled off Steam Overlay; launched with MANGOHUD=0 ENABLE_VKBASALT=0 VK_LAYER_PATH= VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS= %command% -novid
• Cleared shader cache: removed
• Verified game files in Steam
• Fully quit Steam and killed leftovers (pkill -9 steamwebhelper gameoverlayui pressure-vessel dota2)
• Tried forcing Proton Experimental for Dota
• I’m using the Steam runtime (not steam-native-runtime)

My system

• Distro: Arch Linux (fully updated)
• Kernel: (current Arch stable; 6.16.5-arch1-1)
• DE: KDE Plasma 6.4.4
• CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (proprietary driver) Driver Version: 580.82.07
• RAM: 32 GB

Anyone can help me please?

I'd like to put Bazzite on the spare-parts desktop I've hooked to my TV. The only piece of software that still ties me to Windows on that machine is Genshin Impact. I know that it's possible to run on Linux but finding up to date and reliable information on the topic is kinda hard, even with a good grasp of the search tool. I've found stuff about the Steam Deck, not a lot about desktop distros, and the few things I've managed to gather are all over the place and often already out of date.

What's the current status of running Genshin (and other Mihoyo titles) on a Linux desktop? What's the recommended method to install it? A dedicated launcher like Twintail Launcher (the anime game launcher seems to not be maintained anymore), a tool like Lutris or something else for installing Windows apps and running them via Steam? Are bans still a thing (if they ever were)? I've read that Mihoyo's actually been doing some Steam Deck/Linux specific bugfixes recently, is that true?

Arch based but no pacman. Only way to install software is via flatpacks using Discover app.
I know that many Linux users hate such approach.

I'm not here to judge but to learn. I donate monthly to a completely different distro. Polar opposite. But I try to be open minded.

Hi,

so I know there streaming services and other dual booting stuff, but for me it's an personal challenge. Is there any way to bypass kernel level anticheats like EAC? I know for most people the anwser is obvious so ye you can keep scrolling, but I believe there is an way it's only matter to figure it out. I know it is stupid naive to think that way, but if cheaters can bypass this obstacle then also we as linux users also can.

Hi !

I have skill issues which make me feel dumb but I need an outer look.

I recently had an issue on my Ubuntu: no more internet driver. I couldn't get internet even through USB tethering. -> ok, time for backup and fresh install.

I have a Ubuntu 22.04 installer USB key. I get my os up and running in one hour, steam installed in 2, and crusader kings III installed in 3. I wanted to play it since it worked on my previous install. -> but no ! Exit code 139 and nothing more.

I tried various Proton versions (not eggroll though), various GPU driver: nothing worked.

Aside of this, I work in IT. But not being able to install a game on a fresh install make me question my whole career.

Any thoughts?

I'm using an m-audio duo interface and trying to record 2 microphones with one panned to the left and one to the right and both down mixed to mono.

The mic panned to the right always gets distortion. The one to the left works. Is this a known bug? Is there a solution?

I was encouraged to share here a while ago, but I wanted to wait until I've had some playtesting done on Linux machines. I just started my first round of playtests, and things look good!

Flux Empyrean is a metroidbrainia game inspired by Outer Wilds and similar titles. You sail across a massive ocean planet, navigating by the stars and solving mysterious embedded in every location. Each place you visit ties into another in some way, creating a massive network of knowledge to uncover.

I also have a very rudimentary CLI implemented for some of the puzzle ingame! I think it is pretty cool :)

I am happy to answer any questions as well, although maybe not at the fastest rate. College is busy!

If you want to check out more, you can see Flux Empyrean on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3843410

I dusted an old laptop and installed linux on it to give it some life. I also wanted to play some old classics on it. I don't think the games I'm trying to get on there have linux native versions. I installed them with their dvd onto my windows PC and then transfered them with usb to my laptop. Then installed steam and added them as non-steam games to steam for them to go through proton and i checked they do have proton support. I also tried installing brawlhalla to test things, and it ran really poorly. I think it's probably because proton uses dxvk and neither of the GPUs support vulkan. It might be driver issues. While installing steam i chose lib32-nouveau something.
And I've been pulling my hair out using Lutris and Heroic. I'm new to linux and i don't know if i'll stay on it. I got Arch with KDE Plasma if that's needed info.
These are my specs:

MSI GE620

Intel Core i5-2410M - Intel HD 3000

Geforce GT540M with 1GB DDR3

8GB of DDR3 RAM

TL;DR:
First time installing linux on an old laptop. non-steam games don't work. steam games run poorly. Tried Lutris and Heroic and Wine, none worked. it might be a Vulkan support issue or just a driver issue in general. I'm scared of installing drivers since I've reinstalled 3 times because of them already.

Help me. thanks. and sorry for my bad england.

I want to hunt down and skin the person who gave me the idea to install linux

As the title says, I've recently got a "gaming" laptop for a good price, and I've wanted to try Linux for a while now. I mostly use it to write and play games, as well as browse the internet. What distro would you suggest I install?
