Question about steam remote play
I'm on fedora gnome and am using that as my host device to either my android phone or Windows PC. I got everything to work, but I have one minor issue. Every time I close a game, remote play closes because I get a "allow remote interaction?" window pops up. And sometimes it will pop up multiple times before I can actually get a game loaded. Is there any way to disable this? Or at least disable it for steam? Or even just to ask it once when I first open steam/start remote play?
From what I have found, this is just how it is, but I haven't had people asking this exact question. It was more how steam handles certain controllers when remote access isnt actually being used. This is when I am using remote access, but it interrupts mid session to ask again if I want to allow remote interactions.

HELP PLEASE
Hi Linux gamers, would you recommend Bazzite or CachyOS for this machine?
I hate Windows 11 but Nvidia is known for having bad compatibility with Linux so I don't know what to do, I'm not too fond of letting a lot of performance behind.

How To Install FSR 4 on Steam Deck OLED / Tested with Cyberpunk 2077 / SteamOS 3.7.15
linux distro for gaming?
I want a distro that can at least bypass those stupid anti cheat systems and I have games that I want to play without having to deal with the bloat ware of windows 11 and 10

Playing Cyberpunk 2077 4k with ray tracing, hdr, dlss, vrr, frame generation and a working dualsense controller all on Nvidia is wild to me. Linux has come a long way.
I'm just really in disbelief I can do this on Linux with all the bells and whistles. Crazy. I feel like I picked a good time to switch from windows and it's only going to get better with each update going forward. What's missing from Linux for gaming besides anti cheat nonsense?

What is the most stable cutting-edge distro for gaming? Am I missing something by not using a distro designed for gaming?
Currently running Fedora with AMD hardware. Do gaming distros get better performance?

How to enable Secure Boot while dual booting for BF6?
Hey everyone,
I’m dual booting Windows 11 and CachyOS. I had to disable Secure Boot to get Linux working, but now Battlefield 6 requires Secure Boot enabled.
Is there a way to enable Secure Boot while still keeping my dual-boot setup working? I read that Bazzite handles this issue, but I’d really prefer to stay on CachyOS.
Has anyone managed to get Secure Boot working with CachyOS + Windows 11 dual boot? Any guides or tips would be appreciated!

Today I learnt an important lesson about Linux, Steam and save files for old games
Until today I have just taken it for granted that there is some mechanism in Steam to backup save files played using Proton, which stores most of the files needed in the compat directory. Or at least symlinked to a "safe" location.
Once you uninstall a game that uses Proton, it deletes the game files in compat.
Not a problem for newer games that support cloud saves, but I am clearing my backlog and have spent the last 7 weeks playing games like Bioshock, Dead Space and the Counter Strike Condiiton Zero games.
After completing each one, I have uninstalled them, and in turn lost my save files.
Looks like I need to get my bash on and knock up a save file backup script before I remove any more evidence of my hard spent time.

d3d9 present interval caps my game at 30 instead of 60 when using dxvk in prototype 2

Logitech G920 setup in Arch Linux
Hello everyone, so basically I am trying to setup a Logitech G920 wheel on my Arch machine and I followed the archwiki guide. It is recognized, jstest also passed just fine and I installed oversteer where I was able to choose the wheel and basically set some stuff there. Then I opened Assetto Corsa (through Content Manager) and set up the wheel which also worked, but every time I start a track the force feedback is so high my entire desk literally shakes (the wheel is moving on its own) and I need to alt tab to oversteer and just tap the slider (I have it set to 20 but I guess the game doesn't recognize it at first). Another problem that I have - the force feedback feels really weird. Picked up a drift car and there is basically no countersteering on the wheel. It just recenters and that's it. Basically no other software installed just what I said above. Is there anybody that got the wheel to work?

Confirmed. skate. (skate 4) does not work on Linux.
I didn't have much hope about this one considering the BF6 playtest, but I thought I'd give it a go anyways.
Upon running the game, you get the following error: "The program encountered E11100B and 00002302 during initialization. Wine, Proton, and Steam Deck are not supported by this application."
Proton GE 10-15
Super lame. I don't understand why they need such invasive anticheat in a social skating sim.

Anyone with OpenLinkHub experience using Corsair Link devices?
Gave this a little time to get back to as last week as I was getting very unhelpful and unexperienced answers on this and had some time to look further into this weekend. This is why I always tell experienced Linux folks, if you've talking about new hardware, you've not used, be careful acting like you know it all.
This issue is this. Corsair has the Link connection bus that uses the new System Hubs that came out about two years ago. But they also have a legacy controller system, the old Commander Core/Lighting Node Pro controllers.
Long story short, I have a lot of both types on controllers in my recent build and liquidctl only sees the old legacy controllers. I come across OpenLinkHub which is a project in part to specifically to address this issue. jurkovic-nikola/OpenLinkHub: Open source interface for iCUE LINK Hub and other Corsair AIOs, Hubs for Linux. Manage RGB lighting, fan speeds, system metrics, as well as keyboards, mice, headsets via a web dashboard.
Just would like to hear from anyone who has used OpenLinkHub specifically with Corsair Link devices. I just started playing around with it and would like to know how well it works. For now my only option is to just set Device Mode for the cooler in Windows and boot into Linux with that on.
Currently running CachyOS Corsair Titan 360 QX fan based and LCD screen cap.

Black sqaure when using FSR 4.0.2 on 7800XT
Hi!
I'm using Proton Experimental to load FSR4. It's working perfectly fine with FSR 4.0.0 DLL, but if I try to use the 4.0.2 version (Not the int8 one, the official) I get this kind of artifact.
Again, with 4.0.0 DLL everything works just fine. Haven't found any info related to this...

Windows still superior for my games… is Nvidia the culprit?
Hey Linux Gamers,
I really want to join your ranks, but so far… no luck.
I am on an Asus TUF Gaming laptop (Ryzen R9-7HX, 16GB RAM, RTX 4060). I’ve tried multiple distros—Nobara, Bazzite, Pop!_OS, Debian, even Arch (following guides carefully). Installations go smoothly, drivers appear correct… Use Proton and GE 10.5. yet performance is always noticeably worse than on Windows 11.
Across different games—Headquarters WWII, Civ V, Old World, Order of Battle + many more (both older and newer)—I see:
- Stuttering when scrolling
- Slower loading screens
- Overall less smooth gameplay
So my question is: Is Nvidia the main culprit here, or am I missing some setup/feature/tweak that could close the gap?
I would love to hear from anyone with a similar setup or advice on getting the most out of Linux gaming.
