Autoclicker on Bazzite
Can someone help me make, or maybe already has one, an autoclicker. I'm using Bazzite, KDE, I use an autoclicker for most of the games I play, poe for example. I switched to Linux like 2 days ago, before on Windows I could just use Steelseries gg and make a little macro so that when I hold down a side mouse button it would left click rapidly until I let go.
I tried using ChatGPT to write me something usable, but nothing it spits out works. POE launch is on friday and I cannot imagine playing without it. Thanks in advance

I need help understanding why some Windows native games take a long time to launch on my desktop PC
Hi, as the title says, some Windows native games take a long time to launch on my desktop PC, some of them even 2-3 minutes.
As a reference I've taken my Rog Ally with Steams OS installed, where every game starts within a reasonable amount of time, and Helldivers 2 which is the worst offender.
Here you can see how long it takes to launch on the Rog https://send.vis.ee/download/2344c7d5eff83f1a/#fD50-SrUOy-ifO44sNHtbg
And here how loooong it takes on the desktop (I'm a dumbass and forgot to press "Record", this is why the timer starts at 1:46 minutes) https://send.vis.ee/download/3216b72296a416e2/#i61LZs775rPR6hqm4uF23g
This is my configuration:
- Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI
- CPU: Ryzen 5800X
- RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200MHz
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT
- OS: Fedora Linux 42
- Kernel: 6.17.4-200.fc42.x86_64
- Mesa 25.1.9
Edit: I forgot to mention that the NVME which is installed on my desktop is in good shape

Problems with games in RPGMaker
I've been playing around with an old computer running Linux so I can transfer my main PC to the system (I use Zorin, if that matters). So far, I haven't had any major problems, but I haven't been able to get RPGMaker games that aren't on Steam or Itch to work.
I downloaded Ib to try Lutris. I used the option to install a local game, and the RPGMaker file had no problems, but the game wouldn't open. So I replaced the executable file with the game file, and... it just exploded. I got a message saying “implementation error,” and 215 windows opened with the problem.
What can I do?

Linux for an artist?
I am posting here in the linux gaming, because it seems a bit less intimidating than the regular linux forum.
I am a fairly competent computer user, I have been using Windows and MacOS for 20 years. Now my fairly decent workstation will not upgrade to windows 11, I don't want to switch out the motherboard and I don't love windows (I don't hate it either) so I want to try to install Linux on that computer.
I do some gaming on it, mainly with my Steam library, but -more importantly- I need to be able to keep working on my computer. I am an artist and I mainly work with Blender, Davinci Resolve, Reaper and Brave Browser or Firefox for anything online.
I am fairly competent, I know my way around windows and MacOS and sometimes help other people figure out problems with their computers...HOWEVER... My very limited experience with Linux has been a painful one. I installed it on my mom's old computer many years ago and while I realize that there is a learning curve to everything...Having to troubleshoot every aspect of the computer, wifi, sound, etc. tried my patience.
SO I HUMBLY ASK THIS COMMUNITY.
Where should I begin as a person that just wants to work on their computer, update their programs occasionally, update their graphics driver, work with midi devices etc. I am a person that has no interest in tinkering with the OS.
What will be the least painful experience for me?
Is there a distro or project that will not make me flip the table and buy a new windows computer?
Perhaps important info:
- I have an nvidia graphics card
- I usually use an external sound card (Audient or Zoom usually),
- I need to be able to import/export a variety of video codecs
IS THERE HOPE FOR A NOOB?

Wine/Proton games running slowly in background.
I play games that have "farming" where I don't need to interact with the game for a period of time. If I switch away, the games seems to slow down considerably. Sounds play at normal speed but are spaced farther out and switching back to the game shows that it has been running much more slowly than it does when focused.
I thought this might be an issue of the process getting re-niced when in the background but top shows NI 0. This behavior did not occur on Windows last time I booted that. Some of the games are on their own Linux launchers, others are in steam but all seem affected.
I have Wayland/KDE and I'm starting to think it might be something Wayland does. Does anyone else know about this issue and what can be done to correct it. Googling isn't turning up anything relevant.

Is dual-booting with an external drive a good idea?
Hi. I've moved to Linux Mint for half a year now and so far I've had a great experience. However, there are some games I miss that can't be played on Linux because of anti-cheat.
I was planning to do dual-booting with a new drive, but since I'm on a laptop (please don't bully me) I can't add any new internal drives. So I wanted to ask, is using a external drive would be a good idea? Could it be insecure or have bad performance?

How to connect Switch 2 (Pro) controllers with Linux (Fedora 43)?
No matter what I do, the controller doesnt show up in the bluetooth menu or in Bluetoothctl. When I connect the pro controller with USB-C, steam recognizes the controller but inputs dont work.

Rx580 linux kernel incompatibility
Hello guys, i´ve been trying to get my settup going on Linux Mint and Linux Fedora, but i always get stuck in the same spot, blackscreen or the OS doesnt load (crashes and needs to be reebooted from the case), tried using amdgpu.dc 0 and nomodeset to check on the possible causes, and came to the next conclusion,
(loading the gpu kernel seems to crash the system the amdgpu.dc in specific)
not loading the graphical drivers lets the pc run.
Other users reported similar problems with this GPU reporting the amdgpu version or the linux kernel version may be having conflicts. (i´ve already tried backrolling to linux kernel 6.8.x and 6.7.x and 6.6.x , no results)
As no other options on forums helped to fix the problem i decided to switch back to w10 in the mean time.
And to top it off, it seems like it seems that i need to upgrade my whole system just to use linux (thing that i thought was not a need when using any linux distro, but the forums keep telling me it might be some kind of kernel problem with older gpus like mine)
This is the info of my system if you´d like to check on that.
Mobo TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING
Mobo ver. Rev X.0x
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
GPU Radeon RX580 2048SP
Secure boot and the other options in my mobo are ticked off, and just now used revision tool to debloat w10 in case some weird thing in windows was messing with the linux partition, i have not tried installing linux again after using the revision tool.
