Getting PSPlus on Linux/SteamOS to work with Unidater files?
So it can Auto-Update? Are there any workarounds to get the files to work, or to automatically replicate the update process?

Running Parallel Instances of Roblox on Ubuntu
Disclaimer:
I’m not doing anything breaking TOS, just running 2–3 separate Roblox clients and an auto‑clicker on one Ubuntu PC for convenience. It’s the exact same as using multiple devices, which I already do without issues, but more efficient.
My journey so far:
- Sober (Flatpak): Launched Roblox fine, but running two FlatPaks caused one instance to disconnect after a few minutes (they detect each other). Tried renaming FlatPaks and Firejail sandboxes, no luck.
- Windows VMs: spun up Tiny11 and a full Windows 10 VM (VirtualBox), installed Roblox (and FishStrap)… both setups crashed or refused to render the Player.
- Waydroid (Android container): Best performance and lightest footprint so far.
- Issue: Couldn’t install any auto‑clicker app inside Waydroid, so AFK’ing was impossible.
- Bonus problem: No easy way to run 2+ isolated Waydroid instances.
- Dockerized Android VM: Way too heavy and complicated, abandoned.
- Genymotion: Emulated Android worked, but consumed half my RAM/CPU (16 GB RAM, i5 10th Gen) and Roblox was unplayably laggy on minimum settings.
What I need:
- 2–3 fully independent Roblox sessions on Ubuntu
- Lightweight (ideally <2 GB RAM per instance)
- In‑container auto‑clicker support for AFK
Has anyone pulled this off?
- Waydroid multi‑instance or work‑profile hacks?
- Docker/LXD recipes that actually let you install clickers?
- Better Wine/Proton prefix techniques for multiple Players?
- VM/container setups that let you AFK with per‑instance clickers?
Thanks in advance for any pointers! 🙏

Green Hell - Two questions
I've started playing Green Hell recently.
Question nr one: The mouse cursor leaves the game (dual monitor setup using KDE wayland) when I turn right. I then lose control of the game until I move the cursor back into the screen where the game is running.
gamescope --force-grab-cusror makes no difference
gamescope without the option seems to kinda solve the issue, but now I have a new issue, in that I can aparently sometimes only turn about 360 degrees (eg from minus 180 to plus 180) after which I can't continue turning in the same direction, I'm forced to turn back around the other direction.
My Launch Options look like this (copied from one of my other games, cyberpunk I think):
gamescope -W 3440 -H 1440 --adaptive-sync --mangoapp -f --hdr-enabled --hdr-itm-enable -- %command%
Any fix for this other than restarting?
Question nr two: After about 5 minutes of playing, the FPS abruptly suddenly tanks from a perfectly smooth running 90-120 fps to 40 fps, which itself doesn't bother me, but the frame-graph from mangohud shows constant severe spikes (in stead of the regular 8ms I get when it runs fine). I can still play but input is noticeably laggy. If I quit and re-start the game it is fine for another 5 minutes. Any idea what would cause this?
FWIW: Fedora 42, AMD 7900x3d, Radeon 7800 xt, 64 GB ram, nVME drive.

New package - sybau for your system.
So, I have been seeing this sybau memes a lot like people used to comment on each other's post "sudo sybau". Well you can actually do that on your system now. I have made a linux package which upon running shuts your system b*t*h a$$ up (just powers off your pc).
git hub - https://github.com/Arshdeep-singh-chahal/Sybau
And it's also available on AUR under name "sybau". just run "yay -S sybau"
And just run "sybau"
So, yeah now you can say sybau to your system.

Disabling the ea app
After closing star wars bf2 the ea app will be there for a couple seconds and I saw that mango hud showed it used a whopping 5 gigs of ram for a launcher thats way to much and since it runs in the background I assume it uses the same amount of ram any thoughts

Help - Memory Shortage Avoided While Playing Game
I run Manjaro on my laptop. Back when it had Windows installed, Space Engineers ran just fine; almost as well as my much older PC, which also has 16 GB of RAM, though in that case it's DDR4 instead of the DDR5 in my laptop. Using Proton (it's a Steam game), I get into menus just fine, but when I try to run a world the game disappears and I get the attached notifications. I was wondering if there were any known tweaks I could try so that my machine can run the game like I know its hardware can. Thanks!

ProtonGE 10-10 Wayland vs XWayland | 4k / 1440
The Wayland driver is receiving many fixes and is already proving to be more efficient with fewer stutters compared to XWayland.

Minecraft 1.8.9 won't start.
I sought online and found a bunch of stuff about old java trying to use too much memory because of a change in the Linux kernel, still, I couldn't apply to Minecraft any of the advices that people gave about java.
If someone could help I'd be extremely grateful :)

Is it supported? " Elgato Game Capture 4K Pro"
I am considering buying this capture card (EAN 840006677680, "Elgato Game Capture 4K Pro"), but I wanna check with you guys if you know if it is supported on Linux yet (as in, has a working driver, can use with OBS). I found an old thread on it, but nothing recent.
I run Kubuntu 24.10, with kernel version 6.11.0-29.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

is playing cs2 inside a VM bannable?
tl;dr: is playing cs2 inside a virtual machine bannable now when cs (supposedly) uses AI anti-cheat?
im a linux user and dont like proprietary/closed source software which is why i dont prefer installing cs2 on my linux host machine even though it runs fine on linux nowadays.
i was thinking about passing through my second gpu to a windows virtual machine which i would use to play cs and other games as well.
i saw someone got banned from playing inside a VM in early stages of cs2 (https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/183l7yl/psa_vm_users_playing_cs2_inside_a_vm_might_get/) but didnt find any recent bans related to playing inside a VM.
since cs2 doesnt use software/kernel anticheat playing inside a VM shouldnt be a porblem because the AI detects cheaters from their gameplay, hence using cheats on host machine while playing inside a VM would still get detected. ofc i wouldnt be playing faceit/esea etc, only on valve servers.
i dont want to lose my inventory nor my main account due to VAC ban when i could just be playing on bare metal on windows/linux host.
i didnt find anything related to playing inside a VM being forbidden from ToS and chatgpt gave me the same result.
is playing cs2 inside a VM bannable or not?
any resources or messages related to my question are highly appreciated

Which GPU should I buy?
Hello everyone!
I wanna buy a gpu in the near future (I have a budget of around 300€, but I can go up to a maximum of 350€), and I've found three gpus that might interest me:
- The RX 9060 XT 8 GB
- The RTX 5060 8 GB
- The RX 6750 XT 12 GB
(I would have loved to get an RX 9060 XT or an RTX 5060 16 GB, but €400 is way too expensive for me)
And I'm hesitating between these three for different reasons: - The RTX 5060 seems good because of the drivers and the MFG, but I'm afraid that its use on Linux might be compromised (I heard about a 20% performance loss, idk if that's right) - The RX 9060 XT looks good, but I don't think it has MFG - And the RX 6750 XT looks great with its 12 GB, but its power consumption seems a little too high (240w iirc compared to 150w)
But in the end, I don't know if I'll need 12 GB, because I only play in 1080p.
(I'm planning to get a bequiet! 650W power supply for €70 with it. Also, I can't buy an used gpu)
Do you have any advice for me? I'm really torn! Thanks in advance, and sorry for my messy english :D

Android Gaming on Linux
I know this question has been asked many times (because I looked them up) but we're here again. Is there any way I can run android games on my linux machine without much trouble or tinkering? Preferably without much overhead either. On windows Bluestacks does that. On linux nothing I've tried the last time (a couple months ago) worked without issues or lag.
I run multiple instances to play different games, and this is the ONLY thing stopping me from switching to linux.

CS2 mouse issues
As of yesterday I started experiencing a weird mouse drift in CS2. It doesn't happen in any other game or while using the system, but while playing CS2 the mouse will continuously drift left or downward and not stop. Sometime it just goes away other times it wont, even after restarts and reboots. I am using ubuntu 24.04, playing CS2 on steam and the mouse is a Glorious O2 wired mouse. Has anyone else experienced this?
