No Man's Sky: Voyagers
hey all, i have been trying to get this to work okay, not certain if anyone else has run into any issues with this update.
my issue is that on foot, the framerate is fine, i enter my spaceship, the frame rate is fine, however, the instant i reach space, my framerate tanks to 15 - 20 fps.
i have tried switching proton versions through multiple different ones and they all end up doing this.
i have no launch options set up, however i did try to use the dx11 launch command.

Anybody ever tried Zerotier-one?
Recently shifted from windows to arch Linux. And there's this problem. I play a lot of coop old games and some modded coop games using radmin. I tried to run radmin on Linux using bottles since it's officially not on Linux. It did not run and was having this issue trying to connect to the adapter so I went for some alternatives, one of them which peaked my interest was zero tier. I played stalker coop mod using this vpn and it worked like a charm, even better than radmin when it came to latency, like a lot better but stalker uses ipv6 so there was no problem. What I'm having problem with is playing games that have only working LAN networking, that utilize ipv4 specifically. I tried playing chaos theory coop but it did not route through zero tier leading to me and my friend not being able to connect with each other. I did setup zerotier to use ipv4 so that it can act as a LAN network but still no luck. I tried giving zerotier a lower merit but that just outright made my internet not work at all. Is there anyone who has experience in all this that could help. Someone with networking knowledge should know this problem, would be very thankful cause I've been hard stuck behind this wall. (Note: my friend is on windows)

Marvel rivals
Nvidia issue (world of warcraft)
Hi! Ty for all who can help 🙏🏻✨ Im totally new to linux and my problem is my nvidia gpu isn't working.
Installed linux mint to my Asus Tuf f15 laptop (ryzen 5 x nvidia rtx3050). Updated drivers to recommended ones on driver manager. Installed Steam and WoW (through steam option adding "game outside steam" ). All is running perfectly but those games aren't recognizing Nvidia.
Opened Nvidia settings to trying add WoW as profile but an error pops up saying that the filename is not valid in the search path.

Problem with Keyboard Inputs combinations and general input problems. (Ubuntu)
Had a problem where the games didn't read some combinations of inputs, espacially noticed that in shooter games (The Finals) where I studdered in the ads and couldnt aim properly, especialy shift + w + 3 was a problem in all games. So I want to report this here to help ppl. with same issues.
I have a Nvidia GPU (RTX 2070 Super) so thats why my system also use X11 (X.org) instead of Wayland.
that might also be the reason why I need to use the older (X Input Method) XIM:
So what I did was swap the Keyboard input method system from "IBUS" to "XIM", which can be made by searching for the application "Language Support" and change it there, also select apply system wide and then restart your system, only then it worked for me.
Hope that could help someone <3.

No Man's Sky not fully using GPU
Hey,
I'm playing No Man's Sky, but I m getting very mediocre and inconsistent fps, (45-80) but Mangohud says my GPU (3070) usage is only around 50%, I've tried changing some graphic settings, but I can't seem to improve this, I've tried with gamemoderun and proton experimental, same issue. Is there a way I can improve this?

Juegos vía proton no funcionan si están en un disco duro diferente al del sistema
Outer wilds, cuphead, silksong son juegos que no abren si estan en el mismo disco duro del sistema operativo, tengo un ssd conectado por sata a la placa base y si descargo en ese disco no abren pero si los mueva al mismo disco del sistema si abren. No se que hacer.

Frame Generation causes worse gaming experience on AMD GPU
Hey guys
I wanna ask around for opinions on this topic.
The reason why I am asking around is that I've noticed that frame generation doesn't work as intended instead it does the opposite way it should in the games that I play and where frame gen is available
So I encountered this problem while I was playing monster hunter wilds and I know that this game as really bad optimized which is soo damn noticeable with my 7800X3D and RX 7900XT paired with 32GB 6000 MT/s CL30 RAM.
Frame Generation causes when I do turn it on in the game that the entire utilization of my GPU is taken off my GPU and beeing shifted towards the CPU and I couldn't fix it yet. I also have to mention that I was testing how FSR 4 would run in this particular game ony my RDNA 3 GPU. I've tested both FSR 3 and FSR 4 with Native AA or Quality and all other graphics settings to be at maximum exception I made for raytracing which I turned completely off. But the point is that wether I use FSR 3 or FSR 4 frame generation I'll loose performance and I can't explain whay this behavior happens. So I used to that Frame Generation would basically double my FPS.
And yes I am aware about the fact that frame generation take a bit of performance and the doubles this up. For example if you achieve in your game 60 FPS without frame generation und turn frame generation on, your base fps wouldn't be 60 it would be around 55 or slightly higher/lower around 1-2 frames I believe and your fps with frame generation wouldn't be 120 but 108-110 fps.
At the end I wanna mention that I myself just switched over to linux and I use CachyOS as my distro and I am really dedicated to learn how arch linux and CachyOS do work. I was majority of my time a windows user and now I am done with the bs OS that microsoft created. But I digress.
And now I wanna ask around if you also experience the same probleme with frame generation and maybe somebody might come up with a solution for me and fixing this problem?
I am curious what your experiences are or if iam the only person experiencing this issue?

Gamescope crashes every single game
Any game I try to run with gamescope just crashes before any window actually appears. This has been going on since January on both my AMD RX 7900 XTX and Nvidia RTX 5090, so it's not an issue with either GPU's drivers. I'm running Arch Linux and Hyprland as my Wayland compositor.
Is this a known issue? If so, how do I fix it?
EDIT: So I added
debug:full_cm_proto = trueto my hyprland.conf and also added the flag --backend sdl to gamescope, and that seems to work. One issue I have now is that gamescope won't close after the game closes, so I have to kill the process manually.

Surprised: Half of Linux gamers use Debian-based distros
I was honestly kind of surprised when I saw some stats today!
If you hang around this sub often, you quickly get the impression that most Linux gamers are running Arch-based or Fedora-based distros. It almost feels like you’re an oddball if you just use something as “boring” as Ubuntu. Whenever someone posts about a problem, the most common advice seems to be: “Try Nobara, CachyOS, etc., that won’t happen there.”
But apparently, that impression is just part of the Reddit bubble. According to a recent survey by PC Games Hardware (a well-established German tech magazine), about 50% of Linux gamers are actually on Debian-line distros. The breakdown was roughly: Mint ~25%, Debian ~9%, Ubuntu ~15%, Pop!_OS ~1%.
So yeah, turns out the old, plain Debian crowd (and its Kids) is still the largest group out there—despite what it feels like here.

Struggling with various Discord screen sharing issues - blurry stream, crashing, audio delay, ping drops
So, I've been having various issues for a while now with Discord that's been making it really painful, especially in regards to streaming.
- Quickly after I start streaming or at some seemingly random time my entire stream gets extremely blurry. This inevitably happens at some point every time I stream, usually very frequently. Both other people can see this and I can see it in my stream preview. It instantly fixes itself if I go select a different resolution until the next time it happens.
- My stream apparently can get really choppy but I haven't been able to observe this via the stream preview myself. I'm not sure if this is relevant but with hardware acceleration enabled there's a constant stream of flatpak[7300]: [OpenH264] this = 0x0x26941ad160d0, Warning:[Rc] iDid = 0,iContinualSkipFrames(X) is large(X being a varying number, often 3 or 6 but up to the double digits) when I'm streaming a game. This isn't present with hardware acceleration disabled.
- Sometimes, usually around after the blurry incidents, hearing other people's audio will get up to ~5-10 seconds delayed. I'll be able to tell because of the delayed responses and I can still see the green around their avatar at the appropriate time. This seems to only ever happen when I stream.
- Sometimes Discord audio just cuts out for a few seconds. Here's a log I was able to grab when this happened: https://pastebin.com/K0WqU828
- Sometimes I also see my ping go up to 3000 for just a second before it corrects itself. I have no other internet issues with other programs at the same time this happens. This seems to only happen when I stream but it's possible I'm missing it at other times.
- Occasionally, usually after streaming for a long time, my PC will hang for a minute or two and when it comes back Discord is unresponsive taking up ~15 GB (out of 32GB) of RAM. I compiled some of the crash logs: https://pastebin.com/H6ZR65L9 and here's one where I also grabbed the logs from journalctl: https://pastebin.com/7zxmZP5z
Another note, there is a lot of This resource https://discord.com/assets/X.woff2 was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds from the window's load event. Please make sure it has an appropiate 'as' value and it is preloaded correctly (X being a random string each time) in my log.
Also a good bit of "flatpak[7300]: [OpenH264] this = X, Warning:Actual input framerate Y is different from framerate in setting Z, suggest to use other rate control modes" (X being a random string, Y being a varying framerate below the set one, and Z being the set framerate).
I've tried using Discord with and without hardware acceleration and with and without the h264 codec enabled, same issues. The mentioned logs are almost with hardware acceleration enabled and h264 disabled but I've switched to hardware acceleration disabled recently as that seems to have less frequent issues. The contents of the stream doesn't seem to have any effect whether I stream a window, a monitor, or a game. I'm running Opensuse Tumbleweed (20250902 atm), Wayland, Mesa version 25.1.7, KDE version 6.4.4, kernal version 6.16.3-1-default, 32GB of RAM, 6800 XT, and 5700x3D. I've already installed all the proper codecs via OPI. Recording works fine via OBS and so does general video playback. I've got Discord installed via flatpak plus Vencord. Any support would be greatly appreciated,.

Steamdeck x Building a desktop
Hi guys, I have been thinking about having a dedicated pc for games in my living room. But, I am in doubt if it is worth building a new desktop when we have steamdeck as an option. What do you guys think? Also, is it worth buying the steamdeck with 1TB? I mean, due to the cost, maybe it would be better to buy a version with less storage and buying an external hd...
FYI, I live in Brazil. I would have to import the steamdeck...
