Seems that wake-on-bluetooth for the Steam Deck LCD model is quite problematic, as Valve have again disabled it in the latest SteamOS update.

Im trying to get vr working through AirLight VR and steam vr so that i can see my desktop while in vr instead of having to hop out of vr every time i want to say look up a tutorial or guide for a game
WiVRn does work but the visual quality leaves a lot to be desired and the openxr processing can be rather glitchy at times
So far i have tried using both the previous and beta branches and the steam no play compatibility fix to no avail in multiple different configurations
connecting the headset to alvr causes steam to immediately crash without throwing an error (that i can find)
while im not necessarily new to Linux, vr on Linux is something that is new to me that i am lost on
i am using Ubuntu 24.04 on X11 KDE Plasma desktop and my specs are as follows
32gb 6000 cl32 ddr5
AMD Ryzen 7600
Nvidia RTX 4070 Super

My driver version is 570

I have Ubisoft Connect installed using Faugus launcher and I can play games without issues. But I got the Avatar game on sale yesterday and I wanted to play on my 55'' 4K TV. I'm trying to pass the arguments inside Faugus launcher or Ubisoft Connect but without any luck.

For example I want to pass (at the minimum):

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 WAYLANDDRV_PRIMARY_MONITOR=HDMI-1 %command%

I can do it fine in games in Steam but Ubisoft Connect doesn't work with wayland. If I pass the arguments inside Ubisoft Connect, they are ignored.

So far the only way to play this on my TV is first launch it on my 1440p monitor then move the window to the TV, but it's not optimal.

I have ryzen 7950x3D and rx9070xt. In some places in game I can't get over 120 fps - I have the same number of fps on highest and lowest possible graphics settings. Graphics card usage is low and processor usage is also low (around 20-30% on every core). I noticed that this "limit" is a bit better (+10 fps) when I run the game using only 3D vcache cores. It's not any kind of hard limit as I can get a lot more fps in different parts of the game or when I look in the sky. Do you know what the reason may be?

Hi all. I'm in the process of switching over to Linux mint from many years on windows and have been really impressed with it so far. Several games I've tried have 'just worked' with great performance and very little tinkering. I am however having some weird issues with The Great Circle.

It seems a bit buggy on windows too to be fair but the strange thing is, on a fresh install of mint mate the game booted up and ran great on recommended settings. After loading it last night the game would crash with the error: "Failed to allocated video memory" with a number in the region of 6000mb (seemed different each time). After booting it in safe mode - recommended settings produce this error consistently and I can now just about stably run on low everything and 1080p. Just found it odd that it ran great initially but now seems very unstable with lots of weird graphical glitches on anything but low settings. I've tried a few versions of proton and different Nvidia drivers but nothing resolved it. Going to try and re-enable shader caching tonight but wondering if anyone had some ideas or if it's just a game that's a bit janky on mint with my specific hardware config.

Machine specs;

Hi everyone! I'm an indie developer working on a typical small-scale Unity game for Steam. We are debating doing a native Linux version vs just doing a Windows build that people can run via Proton. For a non-graphically intensive game, that doesn't use anticheat, is there really a benefit to doing a Linux native version nowadays?

For a tiny team with one programmer, the costs of doing an extra build (plus extra tech support) really does add up over the course of a project. However I'm in the process of switching to Linux myself, and want to support open/free software where I can. But, for my test setup on Mint, I can't even tell the difference between Proton and native builds for comparable indie games.

I’m desperate and trying to choose between God of War: Ragnarök and Wukong. I don’t have enough money for both, so I need to pick one — but I honestly don’t know which is better. I’ve never played games like these before, so I’m kinda new to this

I don't want to build my own PC. I haven't switched to Linux full time but it's going to happen with the next release of Bazzite + KDE, unless I find a different distro to be interested in.

I've had good luck with prebuilt pcs over the years. I currently run an AORUS MODEL X Gaming PC Computer Desktop (AMD R9 5900X, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB GDDR6X, 32GB DDR4 RAM

Sometime within the next year I think I'd like to get a new PC. I'm definitely leaning AMD GPU, but I have no knowledge of how to optimize my dollar.

Do you guys have recommendations about which company to go with? Is there a way to search for the best builds? Do I buy directly from a Linux based company like System 76 or do I search out deals on New Egg, etc?

I've also just considered waiting for another GPU release line for bleeding edge and taking the Linux Nvidia frame hit and holding onto my 3080 until the time is right for purchase. So many other variables to consider too - like fucking tariffs, and industry bubbles, etc.

I'd be grateful for any advice. I'd probably be willing to go up to $4k if I waited to purchase a new release

So I've tried playing Need for Speed: High Stakes, Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed (failed both), then tried to play game called Airfix Dogfighter. Wasn't able to. Despite installing multiple versions and wine and all that.
Now, I work in it, average linux user (I can close vim), but am I doing something wrong? Or my attention span is too small, I don't know. Anyone shares similar exp?

Good morning everyone, I'm here again. I've installed Linux Mint for ease of use, I've installed my game using every possible version of Proton, including Proton GE, but nothing has worked. If the game is opened then it stays static and my entire laptop freezes without being able to do anything, if for some reason I manage to get it to load up to the menu, it doesn't work, it won't let me start the game, and for some reason, no matter what I do, it doesn't start in full screen.

I don't know if the same thing has happened to anyone, I'll still continue testing Linux Mint all this week since it seems very nice and fast, although I'm discouraged by the fact that RDR2 doesn't work and makes me want to consider going back to Windows despite all its flaws.

I don't know if it helps but I have Wine and Lutris installed, maybe something needs to be configured there, but I haven't found help anywhere. I hope you can help me, thank you very much for reading all this and I hope you have a great day.

So what happened to duck station, the ps1 emulator? I remember it being on the software manager, and now it's not? did they remove it from the repositories? if so, why?

Attempting to run this game on a CachyOS install with Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti and AMD Ryzen 7 5700x

Tinkering steps I have tried so far:

• Checking ProtonDB
• Trying different Proton versions (cachyos-proton, Experimental, GE)
• Installing and re-installing via Lutris, then adding as Non-Steam game
• Verifying file integrity via the launcher
• Setting FPS cap to 60
• Running at minimum settings
• Switching from Vulkan to DirectX12 and back
• Just running the game for a few hours to see if the issue resolves itself eventually (it doesn't)

The issue persists in all of these scenarios. The game runs OOTB on my Bazzite install, so I'm not sure what I'm running into here. Anyone smarter than me wanna take a gander?

I haven't touched any of my games on Lutris for a month or two, and after trying to play them, they all started having different issues. Either, they dont open, or they only display black. I've tried reinstalling these games on Lutris but that hasn't helped with anything. The only things I can think of why this would happen would be either windows defender complaining about the contents when I opened windows once, or a faulty nvidia driver update. I've been banging my head against a wall trying to fix this for a while but can't find a solution, I'd greatly appreciate it if someone found an answer to this.

I’m using Manjaro, and the DuckStation package has disappeared from the distro's store (and from the Flathub page). The latest build doesn’t include a Flatpak package either.

Are the developers no longer supporting it? Is there any news about this?
