Operating System: Ubuntu 23.10 Mantic Minotaur (x86-64)

So I'm trying to hook one of my RetroFighters controllers (Specifically, the BattlerGC Wireless Gamepad) up to my laptop with Linux on it. Whenever I go and plug the USB dongle in, the LED from both the dongle and controller light up as if it's already connected, yet Linux doesn't register it. When I go into the Bluetooth devices and search for it, nothing comes up.

I tried opening up QJoyPad to see if I could set the controller up through there, but it doesn't even recognize that there's anything connected.

I even tried following the manual by pressing the back pairing button when the dongle is in, as well as plugging the controller in through an USB-C cable but still nothing.

And for the life of me, I can't manage to find even a single answer when I search up this issue. Is there something I'm missing? Is the BattlerGC just not compatible with Linux? I've been having issues with connecting bluetooth devices on Ubuntu for a while now (Specifically, my Switch Pro controller being able to connect to the computer first time but never being able to again afterwards), so that may be one of the causes of the issue. So if there's anyone who can help me out, I'd appreciate it.

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience but I have tried everything I know (which is actually quite little) I have been trying to run apex legends on my laptop on which I use a distribution based on arch (Endeavour OS), but when I try to run the game from steam it tells me that it is launching, that the game is running and automatically that it is not, the game does not launch directly, nor appears on screen or anything, I saw a couple of tutorials but of little help, I have tried to run it with different versions of proton (from experimental to 7 for things I could read in some forums), with or without custom launch options but have not given results.

Does anyone know what could be happening? the game worked correctly when using windows (with low graphics but it worked stable).

Thank you very much, I'm new to linux and there are many things that I still can't control.

Pd: My computer specs are :

CPU: Intel i5-10300H (8) @ 4.500GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 3 GB Max-Q

RAM: 8Gb

The system is completely updated, it runs from a 120Gb ssd and the game from an external HDD (the same way I did in windows with the difference that in windows I used it with ntfs partitions and in linux I use it with exfat).

In the .log file of the last time I tried to run the game I got the following:

I'm trying to play SC2 through Lutris, and I've tried multiple different "runners" like Wine GE and multiple different versions of Proton but as soon as I change my camera hotkeys from the default CTRL+F5 to CTRL+F1 for example, it straight up doesn't work. If I reset to default, then I can use CTRL+F5 to set my first camera hotkey but if I change it CTRL+F1 then the game refuses to recognize it and I can't use my camera hotkeys at all.

This is really pissing me off, it's much more annoying to stretch my fingers to CTRL+F5 as opposed to CTRL+F1 to set my camera hotkey. Even setting the custom hotkeys in the settings barely works, I basically have to spam click and press the two keys together many times until it finally picks up on what I'm trying to do and lets me set my custom hotkeys.

I'm running the latest version of Bazzite OS and everything is updated. I have an AMD RX 6700XT. If more information is required, please let me know, I just want to be able to play Starcraft 2 with my custom hotkey setup without having to boot back into Windows.

Thanks!

So I have a laptop with these specs, I'm trying to game off of it with the latest version of Ubuntu, and latest graphics driver for the GPU. It's an NVIDIA GTX 2060 inside of an MSI GF65 Thin gaming laptop, it does have that internal CPU as well of course (which I sometimes worry it's trying to use for games), I will often try to hook this laptop up to my TV via the HDMI, but I don't think this should have THAT much of an impact because I'm only outputting at 1080 or 1444p max.

The games I am currently trying to run shouldn't be THAT graphic intensive, I have a steam deck as well and they are playable on that (granted with lower settings) but even on low settings on this laptop, lower than even the deck, I'm getting all kinds of issues with performance largely around frame rate. The two recent examples are: Trails through Daybreak, runs great until about 10 minutes of gameplay where the game will freeze for a second after an attack or a dodge roll. Or the Metaphor Refantasmo demo where you can tell it's just stuttering as you run. Neither of these games should be giving this machine issues and Daybreak worked well when I was on windows.

Obviously I've switched to Linux to avoid all the garbage you get with Microsoft so I'd love to stay gaming on this thing but I just don't know where to start on figuring out why this is an issue. It's not the fans, I have gotten a program going that lets me control them. I'm using Proton, I have the latest driver for the GPU, any idea would be great and I can provide any other info you might need. Thank you in advance!

I been using my steam deck docked as a console for a few months and have loved it. Only downside is my TV is 4k. I just built a mini ITX PC with a 6800XT and tossed Bazzite on there and wow... This is a game changer for me. I will never buy another console after this.

I'm trying to play from Steam, I've used several versions of Proton and Wine and I get the same error, even from Heroic Game Launcher in Epic, any advice, something to check? I can't find anything on Google to help me.
