Just wanted to let you all know i got surround working in Metro 2033 redux on Fedora 41 by switching to alsa in the prefix using protontricks

WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/286690/pfx winetricks sound=alsa

and i also had to adjust volumes manually in the alsamixer app

is there a more convenient fix? I tested my surround setup in chromium and it works fine, but in games it just doesn't.

Two big things have arrived. The first is that you can attempt to grab the sleek looking Steam Deck OLED: Limited Edition White right now, and the Steam Deck is now available in Australia.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

When getting minecraft full screen in minecraft 1.8.9 it will just crash. In 1.21 the situation is a little bit better but it still crashes.
I use Arch Linux with Hyprland with an NVIDIA Card (kinda think that this is nvidia's fault 😁)
It does this on every DE.

I'm gonna build a computer soon and have decided to switch to Linux. I've been trying a few different distros in VirtualBox and find I'm kinda falling in the middle of GNOME and KDE. I like Bazzite and I think that's the distro I'm going to go with. I really like GNOME overall. It feels snappier (although that might just be because it's in VirtualBox), I like the look of it, and honestly I just kinda want something different as I move away from Windows.

However, the KDE install of Bazzite has a few things I really like. It seems to expose more settings in the system settings. None specific that I really feel I need, but it'd be really nice to have more accessibility to those settings through the GUI in case I want to mess with them. I'm not a terminal fan yet. I'll get used to it but I'm not there, so GUI stuff is preferred. I like the KDE store better. It seems to have more organization and the layout looks better/tighter in a way I like. Dolphin as the file manager seems to have more functionality than the file manager in GNOME. I like the split side by side thing.

I've heard you can turn any flavor of linux into any other with some work, but realistically, how hard would it be to get those specific bits of KDE into an otherwise overall GNOME environment for a linux newbie? I have no idea where to even start with something like that other than googling. I think I'm going GNOME either way, but if it's pretty easy I might swap out some of those components. If it's a lot I'll just leave it.

Both Nobara and Bazzite also had a bunch of what looked like KDE specific tools or software or utilities or something. A lot of programs called Ksomething. Some looked interesting. Are most of those specific to KDE, or if I can find them in a store or figure out how to install them will they work with GNOME? Is it fair to assume there is a GNOME version of all of them, they just might not come preinstalled?

Also, for some reason no distro I've tried in VirtualBox has 2560x1440. Is that just a Virtualbox thing? I can't imagine the basic 2k 16:9 wouldn't be an available resolution in Linux.

OS: Linux Mint (Cinnamon Edition)

There are numerous options I've tried getting the overlay to work properly on Resident Evil 2 for example. I tried GPT but to no avail. This is what my screen shows at the moment. I tried manually entering the hotkey press in the config files and then it froze.

Hello everybody! As the name implies I moved my games from Disk 1 to Disk 2 after realizing they were installed in the smaller Disk, instead of the 1TB disk I had specifically for gaming before switching to Linux

Now I'm having this problem and I have no idea what to do (I'm not very skilled at coding or computing stuff in general).

My suspicion is that, since the Wine folder is in Disk 1 and now the games are on Disk 2 that's causing some issues with properly handling the launch, but I have no idea how to solve any of this T-T

Thanks for reading and for any answers that you may provide!

I click on the play button, but it doesn't do anything. It only lets me drag the window. When I spam click it multiple times, it opens like 5 windows. I'm using Proton Experimental. GE Proton 20 does the same thing. Proton 8.0-5 locks the frame rate at 20, and Proton 9.0-3 doesn't even start.

Hi. I have problem to connect my Dualshock 3 properly to my debian 12 system (I use and prefer KDE if this matter). When i connect it via cable and don't press ps button it charge properly(i know it because all 4 led blinks) and after i click ps button it connect and i can use it but it stop charging(one led lights up all the time and don't blink). I don't have same problem using SCP Server on windows and all my controlers work properly on my ps3 console but any on my debian system. Does anyone have any advice how to solve this?

Edit: I also tested it on Fedora 40 and it work the same

Edit2: I just checked on debian with gnome and install gnome extension that show baterry percentage and it can be problem with checking battery level of controller because this gnome extension always show 100% and when i connect Dualshock 4 it show battery percentage correct

Edit3: I just confirmed that this is problem with reading baterry level. when i leave controller with zero baterry charge and connect it via usb and press ps button to activate him it charged with no problem but it didn't indicate that. Can someone help me fix this battery percentage reading issue i am scared it can "overcharge" my controller baterry if it can't corecrl read battery level

Since switching to Linux on my gaming laptop I have had non-stop issues getting games running the way they should, but to make a long story short:

- Started on Wayland and couldn't find a way to make games run with dedicated graphics, so I switched to X11
- On X11 I used Optimus Manager which worked, but then I tried to get VSync
- I turned on Force Full Composition Pipeline to get VSync which for some reason gave unbearable input lag in games, turning it off made desktop stuttery and after a while of trying other things I switched back to Wayland when I found nvidia-prime
- Once back on Wayland, nvidia-prime environment variables worked partially, the games would switch to using my dedicated GPU but for some reason whenever a game was in fullscreen it the VSync changed to half my refresh rate and in some games there was extreme input lag
- After this I put "export KWIN_DRM_DEVICES=/dev/dri/card1:/dev/dri/card0" in my /etc/profile/ after reading online that this would make the entire session run on NVIDIA, which it did and games like Minecraft now ran without any of those half-refresh rate problems and with no input-lag.
- However now whenever I open a Steam game it crashes shortly afterward, I read somewhere else online that this behavior happens when Steam itself is being run off the dedicated GPU instead of the integrated graphics and have been trying to make just Steam run off the iGPU since

If anybody could help me find a potential solution to these problems (preferably a way to make the Steam Runtime just open in iGPU mode) it would be much appreciated, since then I would have no more problems running EndeavourOS

In-case it's relevant my laptop specs are:
CPU: i7-7700HQ
iGPU: Intel HD Graphics 630
dGPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile

Thank you!!

I ordered an HP Elitedesk G2 and got a Dell Optiplex 3050 Micro in the box.

Relieved Optiplex 3050 specs: I'm seeing a 512G SSD 16G Ram i5 6500t processor seems to be 6th gen I think Intel HD530

Ordered HP Elitedesk G2 specs: 512g ssd 16g ram i7 6700T 6th gen Intel HD530

should I just roll with it? How do these 2 compare?

Is one better than the other for emulation?
