GoXLR-type experience on Linux?
Howdy folks, new to Linux and considering making the switch. I threw a second SSD into my system and installed Bazzite (then pop_OS, then Nobara, then back to Bazzite). After a bit of playing around I'm quite impressed with the OS, how quick it is, the compatibility/stability and framerates I'm getting in my games, the whole nine yards. I'm almost ready to hop over to using Linux as my primary gaming OS, but for one thing...
I used to stream a lot and got very used to having a hardware mixer on my desk that can route sound to virtual audio devices that are then mixed together into a single output. Originally I was using a GoXLR Mini, but more-recently transitioned to using Voicemeeter Potato with a Turn Up Mixer.
I'm looking to find a similar way to do things on Linux, and I haven't found any good answers. I found Pulsemeeter (no longer under development) which can do the mixing exactly the way that I want, but I don't know how to connect that to a controller. There's also the Deej project, but that appears(?) to only be able to control individual apps rather than virtual audio devices. (If I'm wrong here, I'll just buy a controller from Etsy and call it a day.)
I've tried looking into PipeWire and installed Helvum, and while both of them make my head spin and I genuinely hate the UI, it seems doable... But I still run into the issue of controlling the audio channels via a hardware controller.
Has anyone set up a system like this successfully? My ideal is to split Discord into one channel, FireFox + Cider into a second channel, have the "system" (mostly games) in a third channel, and then my mic gain on a 4th. If anyone has found a solution for this on Linux and could help walk me through it, I would be incredibly grateful!

Elden ring doesn't work after a new patch
Is it just me, or does the game not work for everyone else? I checked ProtonDB, and it seems like other people can run it, but I’m stuck with this anti-cheat problem. (failed to get the process path)
Neither GE nor experimental versions of proton work

Does Steam Input work in non-Steam games for you?
...and if so, what distro?
I've been playing Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst, installed with Lutris then added to Steam, and (mostly) can't get custom controller input to behave, several distros on two devices.
Fedora-Gnome and Garuda gave me similar problems. If I enable SteamInput the game won't respond to any input from the controller, even though controller utility in KDE settings seems fine. If I disable SteamInput, launch game, then the game responds to controller ok. So tab out and re-enable SteamInput, then game responds to controller, and both OSes give a popup about screen sharing, click ok, now it's only semi-functional. The game seems to be trying to register the default button press and the remapped custom input at the same time, with sporadic results.
It's worth mentioning that SteamDeck handles this fine, built-in controller and separate. Also, Nobara 39 has been problem free, which I've been using on my desktop. The other day I upgraded to Nobara 40 and when I launched this game I found a familiar glitch. PSO won't respond to controller with SteamInput enabled... pretty much same behavior described above, no popup message though.
I've tried relogging in with X11 with Fedora and Nobara, no change. Regular Steam games work just fine. I would love to find some solution before I reinstall old Nobara 39. Thank you!

[GUIDE] Running a Fortnite Private Server to play older seasons(and events) in multiplayer on Linux under Wine/Proton
https://reddit.com/link/1fwa4l8/video/37kv3aoo0tsd1/player
Tutorial:
1: Download the Project Reboot launcher from GitHub https://github.com/Auties00/Reboot-Launcher/releases/
2: Run the installer under wine
3: Once its done, depending on your wine version you will get a black screen, to fix this we need to use the latest Proton, or the latest Proton GE, or use wine 9.11
4: The backend is a bit glitchy, only local works and you have to reset it every time you launch it, so go over to the backend tab, press "Reset", then press "Start Backend", you will see it error out, then you need to switch the type to local, and the backend should work.
5: Download the Fortnite season of your choice at an archive, the built in download thing to download Fortnite seasons under wine doesn't work for some reason, I would recommend using https://github.com/simplyblk/Fortnitebuilds as its a pretty big archive.
6: Extract the build you downloaded and keep it somewhere you will remember
7: Add the build to reboot, navigate over to the extracted folder and make sure to point it at the folder with "FortniteGame" and "Engine" in it
8: Go to host, press "Information" and disable "Discoverable", otherwise random people can join your server and in doing so leak your IP
9: Press play, then press "Launch Fortnite" and it should be working! You should see a GUI for the server pop up, once it does wait until you see "Joinable: true", once it does that open the console in the fortnite by pressing f8, then type "open 127.0.0.1" to go into your own server, if you want to go into someone elses server get the IP they are hosting on, and type "open *the ip for the server*"
I hope this helped, if you want your friends to play you have to setup port forwarding or use something like playit, go to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Bwu2pFiFlI and go to 9:04, just follow the instructions for playit, the native linux version works for me when hosting, but running the windows version under wine should work
To run event's for chapter 2(like the one im doing right now), you need to use neonite as the backend, so go over to https://github.com/HybridFNBR/Neonite and download it by doing git clone, cd into the folder and type "npm i", then open up app.js, search for "5595", once you do that change it to 3551, then you can launch reboot and chapter 2 events should be working!
Also I would like to mention some seasons just crash while others don't, I have no idea how to fix it, if you figure out a way please let me know!

MangoHUD overlay not appearing -- running Lego Island 2 on Lutris, Fedora 40, with Vulkan
Hi all, I've spent the last couple hours trying to limit the FPS to fix a physics-based mini-game in Lego Island 2, which I've been running through Lutris, and that finally worked. I was able to solve that by adding key, value pairs in environment variables under System Options of (MANGOHUD, 1) and (MANGOHUD_CONFIG, fps_limit=30).
However, when I try to enable some kind of fps overlay using either the FPS counter (mangohud) toggle under display, or by adding fps_only=1 to the second (key,value) pair, neither of them show anything in the game.
In Googling I've found people saying that fullscreen prevented the overlay from working with OpenGL, but not Vulkan--I tried switching to windowed mode in system options but that didn't seem to change anything, either the overlay appearing or the look of the application at all; I think maybe it opens a second window for the actual game after the first, so the windowed mode only applies to the first one. So that could be the fundamental problem, but not sure.
Has anyone else has had issues with the mangohud overlay not appearing with Vulkan (and maybe Fedora specific? I'm not too well acquainted with how to tell if a problem is likely distro-independent or not)?

Possible to stream Steam games from Linux PC to Android TV?
So I'm currently rearranging my apartment, which has two computers, one with RTX 3090 (PC #1) and the other with Arc A750 (PC #2), both running Arch Linux. Also a Sony X900F Android TV in the living room. All devices are connected with ethernet cable. I'm thinking of moving the second PC to the living room but I'm not sure, that's also where the TV is. I'll be using the second PC for emulation and light games. While using the main PC in my room for my actual gaming needs. I was wondering if it was possible to stream from PC #1 straight to my Sony TV and use a DualSense controller wirelessly in the process?
I'm guessing Remote Play on my PC and Steam Link app on the TV is all I need? Is this a good setup? Since everything is wired can I expect a good experience? Does this even work on Linux?
I block WAN access to my Sony TV and only allow LAN access on my network. Will this be a problem for Steam Link on the TV?

CS2 FPS Issue Fixed: Resizable BAR & BIOS Settings - PSA for AMD GPU Users
I recently upgraded my GPU to an RX 6900XT and was super excited to test it out in CS2, but my experience was pretty disappointing at first. Despite having a high-end card, I was only getting around 100 FPS max and averaging a terrible 40 FPS during gameplay. I spent hours troubleshooting but couldn't figure out what was wrong.
After trying pretty much everything, I accidentally discovered that Resizable BAR was not enabled, despite turning it on in my BIOS. The real issue was that I still had Legacy Support enabled in the BIOS. Turns out, it doesn't matter if you're booting your OS (in my case, Fedora 40) with UEFI—just having Legacy Boot Support enabled in the BIOS disables Resizable BAR!
Once I disabled Legacy Boot Support and ensured that Resizable BAR was properly enabled, my FPS skyrocketed to 300+ consistently in CS2. This was such a game-changer after struggling for hours.
You can check if Resizable BAR is enabled either with this command:
sudo dmesg | grep BAR
Output should be something like:
[ 4.700016] [drm] Detected VRAM RAM=16368M, BAR=16384M
If you see BAR=256M its probably not enabled.
Otherwise use a program like "LACT"
In the Software it will outright tell you if Resizable BAR is enabled.
