I am tired of Windows 11 ,it has so many ads and bloatware🙄literally it consumes all my ram and power usage .. I hate the overall feel of it . I don't play games much (minecraft occasionally) ,I use it for mainly browsing, movies,music sh... I am taking computer science as my major and I have heard ,Linux is better for coding ,is it? So I have this sudden urge to switch to Linux because I just wanna try it's different flavors or what you call Distros.' I also enrolled in a Udemy linux course.....I want to really learn it... Can someone suggest me what to do?..pls Guide me (Sorry for my english)

I recently (partially) solved my issue with input latency while using my Bluetooth gamepad/controller, and since while searching for a solution I saw many threads here and other places looking for help that never ended up receiving a solution, I figured I'd share what I found here.

I'll give some basic info regarding Bluetooth protocols and why some controllers may experience higher input latency first. Feel free to skip over that and go straight to The Solution if you're not interested in the info.

Some Bluetooth gamepads have sporadic or persistently high input lag/latency that results in delayed or missed inputs. This makes the gamepad unusable over Bluetooth for games that require quick or precise input, requiring them to be connected via USB if possible.

If you've used a DS4, you may have noticed that it does not suffer from the same high latency issue. This usually comes down an important distinction:

BR/EDR vs. BLE devices

where

• BR/EDR = basic rate/enhanced data rate
  • "Classic" Bluetooth protocol meant for continuously streaming data.
• BLE = Bluetooth low energy
  • Bluetooth protocol for sporadic data transmission at shorter ranges and lower power consumption.

The DS4 controller is a BR/EDR device, whereas other Bluetooth controllers like my 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth controller is a BLE device. If you're experiencing high latency with your Bluetooth controller, most likely it is a BLE device.

When a Bluetooth device is paired, BlueZ (I'm just assuming the use of BlueZ) negotiates some connection parameters with the device. To the best of my knowledge, BlueZ defaults to lower latency parameters, but not always. Those parameters may be stored and used for subsequent connections, or they may be negotiated for every connection.

Whether BlueZ stores these parameters or not doesn't really matter to us right now, because we can define them.

The Solution

Each Bluetooth device is going to have information stored at /var/lib/<adapter>/<device MAC>/info. We're specifically interested in the [ConnectionParameters] section within the file. If there is no [ConnectionParameters] section, you can add it. BlueZ will use these values to negotiate with the device at connection.

Now, we're interested in 3 parameters:

• MinInterval/MaxInterval - the minimum and maximum amount of time between connection events/communication with the host. Higher values = more lag/latency.
  • Expressed as 1.25 millisecond units.
  • Range of 7.5ms to 4s, or 6 to 3200 units.
• Latency - the number of connection events that the device is allowed to skip before having to "wake up" and transmit it's data. Latency > 0 means that the device can essentially buffer data and wait to send it, resulting in... latency. We want this to be 0.
  • Range of 0 - 499.

So, in info, you can set something like

[ConnectionParameters] MinInterval=6 // 7.5 milliseconds MaxInterval=9 // 11.25 milliseconds, can be the same as MinInterval Latency=0 // do not skip events, transmit all data at the next interval

When the BLE device is connected, BlueZ will try to tell the device to use these parameters. Ultimately, the device can reject them and BlueZ will just have to pick from a range given by the device.

We can also set some default values for new BLE connections in the [LE] section of/ect/bluetooth/main.conf, though with some different parameter names and units.

// /ect/bluetooth/main.conf [LE] // for low energy devices MinConnectionInterval=7.5 // in milliseconds, not 1.25 ms units MaxConnectionInterval=11.25 // in milliseconds SlaveLatency=0 // same as [ConnectionParameters]

BlueZ will use these by default for new BLE device connections, but will not apply to or overwrite existing [ConnectionParameters] in already paired device's info files. You'll have to delete or manually edit parameters for existing devices.

Why is it a partial solution?

I said this partially solved my gamepad latency issue for the simple fact that there are at least a few different things/events that can cause [ConnectionParameters] to be overwritten by BlueZ, and because setting the defaults for BLE devices in main.conf applies to BLE devices globally, meaning that interval and latency may be decreased for non-gamepad devices, increasing power usage/battery drain.

A more "permanent" and targeted solution would be to use udev rules to run a script to request a connection and parameters when specific devices are added, though this is more complicated than just editing files and outside of the scope of what I wanted to offer here.

I created this script to transform any standard Linux distribution into a 'gaming distro.' It currently supports most major Arch-based distributions, Ubuntu, Zorin, Mint, Fedora, and openSUSE Tumbleweed. If you would like to take a look at it, you can visit the GitHub repository: https://github.com/softwaresocialist/TurboTux

How to try it out:

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/softwaresocialist/TurboTux.git cd TurboTux

2. Run the script

chmod +x setup.sh ./setup.sh submitted by /u/theleninlover

Hi everyone !

I run Debian 13, with proprietary Nvidia driver (from Nvidia's website, version 580.119.02). I just upgraded my gtx 1050ti to a gtx 1650. When I try to start Kindom Come Deliverance from Steam (sandboxed with Firejail), which was working fine with my 1050 ti, i get this message: "Unsupported Graphics Card detected, A GPU with support for D3D FeatureLevel 11.0 is required." and the game wont start. However, if i run the Nvidia settings app before starting Steam and launching the game, the game starts and runs fine. What could that mean ?

Things i tried:

Reinstalled Steam: didn't work

Regenerated xorg.conf: didn't work

Installed the Nvidia driver again (proprietary): didn't work

Installed the Nvidia driver again (MIT/GPL): didn't work

Purged and reinstalled Firejail: didn't work

Reinstalled the game: didn't work

I don't know where to look, i don't know if this problem is system-related, Firejail-related, steam-related or game-related.

Thanks for your help !

I know that I am not answering anything but I am questioning like the main guy of the post. Microsoft (Micro-slop) has been shoving and preparing to shove Ai into Windows 11. And I don't have my PC with me and stuff since I am out of the country. So anyways. My use is mostly playing in the summer or mostly just playing Minecraft or Roblox since I don't buy games and I don't have many games anyways on my PC so I need Linux. A light one. And because one time my little brother who shares my PC with me mandatorily, he tried once to download Zorin OS, and he actually did install it. But back at the time, I didn't want to use Linux, so I panicked a bit and tried everything to get back to Windows but I had to sacrifice everything on my hard drive so I did that, and got back to Windows and now in 2026, January 28, and of what I saw on posts and Instagram and what Microsoft is trying to do. I can't keep using Windows. So when I get back home, I will replace Windows 11 with a distro. So please suggest me something good to use as I study for high school and play at summer, and ever since what my brother did to the PC, I have been almost traumatized by terminals and stuff and I didn't enjoy them, because my experience with them was bad. So whoever will answer, please suggest something good and send a link or send a list of commands of Linux.

Hi all. I just released a demo for Monster Lily, a tactical ASCII roguelike for folks who don’t mind a bit of dark, weird humor.

It has a native Linux build, and the demo is fully playable as a standalone challenging experience, representing the first 8 floors of the game.

The 1.0 release is planned for May 2026, it’s already pretty far along.

All testing so far has been on Ubuntu/Mint flavors. I know machine setups can vary a lot, so I’m happy to answer any Linux-specific questions or feedback.

I've added Switch games to Steam via Steam ROM Manager, but I've come across a slight minor issue. When exiting a Switch game the Yuzu emulator still stays open and I have to manually close it. Is there a setting I can enable that will automatically close Yuzu when I exit the game?

Thanks!

I have a old game called Syberia which runs in 32bit architecture. It needs wine32. I have tried so many ways to install it but can't. After fixing one issue, it shows another dependency package missing. I have Ubuntu 24.04 and lutris installed. It's i3 laptop with 8 gb RAM. So, I wanted to try old windows games but I am unable to fix this wine32 installation.

I was thinking on switching my gaming laptop to Linux. Even though I won't be able to play Valorant, which I think is for the best tbh, I still think is the best decision.

But I was wondering if there was any issues I might run into since I am on laptop.

I've got an MSI Thin GF63 12VE, with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU. Distro recommendations are also appreciated.

Hey!

I installed native Steam via my package manager on Linux Mint. Though, lately something went wrong and Steam won't do certain things. Steam support couldn't help, so I decided to reinstall Steam.
But when I "deleted" Steam via my package manager, i only got rid of 2.6 megabytes! I still could use Steam and it did not help. In my home folder I found a hidden folder called ".steam". Is this, what I'm looking for? If I delete this one folder, will I successfully get rid of Steam without deleting any other crucial parts of my system?
Thanks in advance!

Since goverlay released a flatpak version i wanted to use to fully embrace my flatpak addiction. I managed to get to work in flatpak steam by giving permissions through flatseal but for the love of god flatpak heroic refuses to use anything other than default mangohud no matter what I do. I went through the app and it didn't work either.

For both: Filesystem: add xdg-config/MangoHud:ro Variable: MANGOHUD=1 Worked for steam Only uses default on Heroic
