Is it possible for my friend to Steam Remote a game from my Windows 11 PC to his Linux PC?
Hello everyone, my friend would like to play a Steam game that is not exactly compatible with his Linux PC, but my W11 can run it, I was wondering if it is possible for him to play the game with Steam Remote (or any other way), so my W11 PC is running the game itself but he is controlling the game from his Linux PC. I have no problem leaving the W11 PC on running the game as I'm not using it at the time he would play.
Note that he lives on another continent if this might cause any issues.
Sorry I'm a total layman about Linux and remote play like this in general but the concept of something like this would be interesting and worth to try out.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Death Stranding 2 missing graphical options on CachyOS
I wanted to compare the performance to Windows and found I can't get it running with all settings available on CachyOS.
Specifically, raytracing options aren't in the settings and AMD Anti-Lag 2 isn't an option I can select.
I have tried multiple proton versions to no avail. As far as env variables I tried steam_deck=0 and the one I used sucessfully on RE:Requiem, /WineDetectionEnabled:, when that had a similar issue. Is there something I'm missing?
Specs:
Ryzen 9800x3d
7900 XTX
64 gb ddr5
Newest build of CachyOS(as of 3/20/26) with kde plasma
iGPU is disabled, in case that makes a difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Hosting Windows VM with a Dual GPU (5070ti & 5090) CachyOS PC for Windows Gaming?
I realize this is very niche, but would like to explore using 2 GPUs to run Windows in a VM for the occasional game I can't run in Linux. I realize I can dual boot, and so far that's what I've been doing, but it's becoming a bit impractical as I do some streaming and going back and forth forces me to change certain stream configurations here and there.
If it's practical to run a Windows VM with my dual boot partition and my 2 GPUs, I'd assume give it a try.
If anyone has a setup similar to this, what was the method you found and what would be the downsides?

DualSense controller doesn’t work with Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (just this game) | Fedora Silverblue
Hi! So I want to play Avatar on my relatively fresh install of Fedora Silverblue.
For whatever reason I have to deactivate Steam Imput on 50% of the games for the controller to work.
But with Avatar it works neither way.
I installed Steam via the flatpak. I also use Steam Tinker Tools.
Any idea what could fix it?

War Thunder downloads a 10GB update everytime I take a break from playing
I'm playing War Thunder via Steam, and if I don't play for a couple hours, the game updates. This repeats everytime I take a break and come back to play. Steam thinks the game is 77.85GB, but the War Thunder launcher itself seems to think the game is 65.9GB instead so every time I take a break for a while, Steam downloads a 10-11GB update. I recently switched to Linux due to performance issues on my laptop but I never faced this issue on Windows. The launcher never shows on Windows anyway.
Is there any way to fix this? My distro is Ubuntu 24.04, and shader pre-caching is on

Ubuntu installed an update and wanted me to restart. I am unironically having a great time, but I'm also leaving Ubuntu for Steam OS 🤷🏻
Playstation PC SDK Runtime in Lutris
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to run a game in Lutris that was recently ported to PC from Playstation. It's Death Stranding 2.
I'm having issues because Playstation PC SDK is missing and I don't know how I could install it in my prefix. Has anyone had this problem before?

Brutal Doom 64 in Proton
A whole new chapter of Doom not a re-make of the original! Wielding the classic arsenal including the double-shotgun, but immerses you in new levels, creatures and new special effects! Brutal Doom 64 is a remake of this Nintendo classic!
I really really tried to get the native Linux version running! First played with GZDoom and the pk3 files... but it was a no go!
Then found the developer supplied a native version and it complained...

World of Warcraft crash in raids
I don't have any logs because after the raid I put ltsc on my PC but it's bugging me as to why it's happening.
it never happens in keys, only raids. it has a similar feeling to the video driver locking up in windows. yesterday it froze during a boss and after about 5 seconds audio came back but no video. when it happened last night I had old school RuneScape running on another monitor and discord.
running kde, it's happened on both vanilla arch and last night I tried it on cachy. 7900xt. 13600kf. running through faugus with latest proton GE.

Best bluetooth controller
Hi there,
do you guys have some recommendations for a solid bluetooth controller that works out of the box on linux?
I just wanna use them for some casual gaming - nothing special is needed.
Thanks!

I've been having this obnoxious issue with xfinity router and maybe someone can explain it to me like I'm 5 please.
I've had issues with finding other computers through specific apps or programs like minecraft or through different containers on docker. Right now I'm trying to set up a steam link between my pi4 and my main computer. Both on linux. I cant seem to ever find a straight anwser but whenever i find my ip addresses for ssh or anything its always 10.0.0.xxx but i know thats obviously not my actual ip. But idk is it a CGNAT or just something im not understanding and why is it my computer (wired into my router) and my pi (on 5g) cant find eachother but when i use a code to connect them i get a warning of slow connection as if its connecting outside my network and back in? Please help me
