bwrap: setting up uid map: Permission denied
Hello everyone,
I just started using Lutris to play GTA SA on Ubuntu. At first, I was able to play the game using the default Wine version wine-ge-8-26-x86_64. The graphics were a bit blurry, but it was still playable. Later, I saw some recommendations suggesting to use GE Proton, so I did some research and installed Protonup-Qt, GE Proton10.10, and the UMU launcher. However, after installing all of that, I encountered an error. It even affected the default Wine version, showing the same message log: pressure-vessel-wrap[4067]: E: Child process exited with code 1: bwrap: setting up uid map: Permission denied
From what I’ve found, it seems to be related to AppArmor. I’ve tried everything I could, but the problem still persists. Does anyone know how to fix this error? If someone can help me with a fix, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

I'm genuinely tired of lutris.
Lutris used to be so great... Especially with recent steam deck developments, it used to run so well. But as of right now it's chawkful of non-descriptive small error codes that the forums, reddit and even the lutris forum itself cannot resolve. I use cracked games sometimes, I'll admit to it as at the end of the day i live in a 3rd world country, but come on man. I can't even sit down and play no more... Someone should explain to me how a game i played for DAYS would suddenly give out error codes like 13568 and 256 and the worst offender 0 where everything was FINE but it doesn't frickin work for no apparent reason! I don't know anymore man, i might try heroic next and if no dice i might give up on the whole thing. I'm on arch hyprland with a full AMD build in case you're wondering. What saddens me the most is that when it was working it was WAY BETTER than on windows even had less weird graphical artifacting to some even being non-existent in some games. So yeah I'm just rambling at this point as i already tried forcing vcrun in the wineprefix including in multiple proton and native wine and winetricks versions. Oh well...

Help, I can't figure out how to run games with Vulkan instead of OpenGL
I have tried vanilla steam, proton-ge with lutris as well as wine, wine-tkg, proton-sarek and sarek dxvk. Nothing I do runs the game with Vulkan, any ideas please, I want to switch to Linux but I can't figure out gaming.

Wrong inputs with Dualsense Bluetooth
I am on Arch (cachyOS) KDE using the steam arch package and I am having this weird issue where I connect my dualsense with BT but, steam has it mapped completely wrong across games and big picture mode. Even when I try to manually configure the buttons it won’t detect the touchpad or the mic button and even holding down right trigger moves the right stick in the gui. When I plug my controller in with usb though everything works as normal. I have tried using the flatpak version of steam, tried with my built in Bluetooth from mobo and then tp-link usb adapter with no luck. Other games outside of steam work fine. This one is a real head scratcher EDIT: Tried on windows as well and it was completely fine

Halo MCC won’t launch
Whenever I press the play button nothing happens. I’ve verified, deleted compatdata, uninstalled it, changed proton versions, tried GE yet nothing happens.

vkPost - a vkBasalt fork
I have discovered this repository a few months ago. I've searched in the sub but nobody seems to have found yet. I don't even know if it's safe. It has its own PKGBUILDS inside and does not exist on AUR. Wanted to share here:
https://github.com/KowabungaOfficial/vkPost
It seems like it's not a direct fork from vkBasalt's original repo. Needs to be reviewed I guess.

Change window theme under wine
Hi I'm fairly new to using Linux on my main PC.
I'm now experimenting with different things to make my windows app/games work.
I'm using Faugus & Lutris for now.
One thing I would really like to change is that old Windows style that applies to the apps when I launch them. I tried to apply different msstyles to my wine cfg but they never seem to apply to the applications...
I'd love to use my main gnome theme if that's possible but anything that would make this less uglier would be good aswell.
Thanks in advance!

Bluetooth Xbox controller issue
Hello! I know this question has been asked before, but I've been through countless other posts and the solutions that work for those people aren't working for me. I'm trying to connect my bluetooth Xbox controller, and I can actually connect with no issue, but when I launch a game and start playing it, it will randomly disconnect and reconnect after a few seconds. It seems like this happens after the controller is idle for a minute or two, but I've also had it happen during consistent use. The controller itself has fresh batteries and shouldn't have any connectivity issues because this doesn't happen on Windows. Here are my specs:
OS: Endeavour (had same problem on Mint and Bazzite)
Controller: X|S Series
Bluetooth adapter: Initially TP-link BT 5.3, then tried Kinivo BTD530 because it supposedly has better Linux support. Identical issue.
I am using xpadneo, and I've already booted into Windows to update the controller's firmware. I've also tried disabling usb idle timeout, specifically targeting the dongle. No luck. I'm seriously stumped. I really want to fix it because I want Linux to be my daily driver for everything, especially gaming. Any help is highly appreciated!

PSA for fellow 9060 xt strugglers
I had been having issues with my graphics card after following some instructions to manually upgrade the kernel to version 6.14, and had downloaded the AMD drivers from their website. Later learned I shouldnt have done either. Uninstalled the kernel and went back to 6.8, then used Linux mint's update manager to upgrade. Still had problems. For some reason, after running sudo amdgpu-install --uninstall and rebooting, everything worked perfectly. Now it lists the driver version as kernel instead of amdgpu. Not sure what any of this means, I'm a total noob, but figured I should post what worked for me. Symptoms: laggy cursor and desktop and GPU utilization and clock speed extremely low

Setup a vm to play a couple of windows store games
Hello, i have a i51300h, gtx 1650 and 16 gb ram laptop and used bazzite for a couple of weeks and loved it but i own some games on the windows store (palworld, fallout 76, fo4,) and moved back to windows to play it, today i learned about gpu passthrough and wonder if it can work on my setup before reinstall bazzite again or not, o know is an old laptop but those games works great.
So, worth to try or my system too weak to do it?.
thanks.

Battlefield 2042
I know this game hasn’t been working for a while on Linux. But I guess they just added a secure boot option and I was curious if anyone has tried playing it to see if it’s playable at all.
