Ultrakill randomly not working
I just installed pop os on my pc today and was able to play Ultrakill right away with no issues. I then tried to play it a few hours later and it would only show a black screen with no sound or other feedback. I have tried switching between Proton 9.0-4, 10.0-4, 10.0-33, 8.0-5, 7.0-6, 6.3-8, and 5.13-6. None of them did much. 9.0, 8.0, and 7.0 actually let it run, but if it's in fullscreen and I tab out, it does the same thing and if it's in windowed, I can't look around once I'm in game. This is my first experience with linux so I don't really know any fixes and I'm just confused as to why it randomly stopped working.

Ghost Recon Wildlands co-op borked?
Hello, I have a hunch that a recent Ubisoft client update has renderes co-op unplayable on Linux machines (or at least my own). Up until a few days ago, I ran co-op pretty seamlessly with a group of friends.
A few days ago I received an update to the game, apparently most Ubisoft games received some kind of update to their launcher. Afterwards, I was unable to connect at all for co-op matches. Occasionally, I could eventually connect to their game, but would be kicked out and disconnected from their game servers. As for game specific details, I'd frequently get the NAT Status offline or strict, and any port forwarding or UPNP enabling didn't resolve the issue. What ended up fixing it was booting the game through Windows, with no problems whatsoever. Funnily I could still connect to their lootbox store LOL.
I wanted to ask if anyone else here has had the same experience. It's a bit of a long shot, considering Ubisoft's reputation these days and the fact that this game has become obscure these days, but I figured it'd be somewhat of a sanity check for anyone else who is running into problems with mulitplayer Ubisoft titles.

I need some help with mh wilds
I was playing monster hunter wilds on my arch Linux system and it was working fine but then it had an update. I thought that's not a big deal I'll just play later. I am yet to get my graphics working again I don't know what broke. It looks like steel wool. It's so coarse I think I could wash cast iron with it. I have been trying to sort it out for a bit now to no avail. My specs are both at the end of the video and I'll put them here too:
Hardware:
CPU: amd ryzen 7 7840hs Ram: 64gb Igpu: 780m graphics Dgpu: Nvidia rtx 5070 laptop version The official product is a framework laptop 16 the 7040 series.
Software:
Arch Linux with kde plasma version 6.6.2 Platform: wayland Kernel: 6.19.8-arch1-1
I know it is using the Nvidia GPU not integrated graphics currently. I do not know if it was using the Nvidia GPU when there were no issues. Any and all suggestions would be nice I'll try anything and tell you how it goes.

On a GTX 4050. Overwatch from Steam (Proton Hotfix) Keeps stuttering.
I am honestly kind of stunned. My steam deck can run it perfectly fine. I have no idea where to go from here, I just want to play Overwatch so badly. I've done everything to set up my GPU and NVIDIA finally ran it, and now I'm here. It's so laggy and I can't even make it past the loading screen.

Death Stranding 2 portable version from dodi is showing this error. I'm on fedora 43 launching this on heroic and steam.
I have been trying to play Terraria online with my friends but sometimes they can't join.
I have been getting fed up with this ever since this started 2 months ago. There's very little documentation on this issue and I want this post to hopefully be something that can help others.
I have been daily driving CachyOS for 6 months now and it has been excellent for me aside from one issue that has been plaguing me for a while. For games that have dedicated servers, I can play with friends through that just fine. But when ever I try to host an online session for Terraria, sometimes my friends can't join me through Steam or my IP address. They get stuck on a screen that says, "Found server" while it infinitely loads. And sometimes it just gives up immediately with a "Lost connection" warning.
At first I found people saying I had to open the port 7777 for them to join but that wouldn't work either. I tried using the TerrariaServer shell script and that didn't work. I also tried switching to the Windows version VIA Proton but that also didn't work. I even tried dual booting into Windows to host the server there but somehow they couldn't even join when I was on Windows. I originally opened the ports with the terminal with sudo ufw allow 7777/tcp which should have done the trick but it didn't. I also tried going into my router and opening those same ports but no dice (also running a portscan on my internet doesn't reveal those ports when the server isn't running). I did have error logging enabled but it doesn't log anything because it doesn't know when people try to join.
I gave up that day because of how stupid it was. But then 2 weeks later, I tried again with my friends and it randomly started working. I don't know how or why but it did. At first I thought the 1.4.5 update might have fixed a bug that caused that to happen. We end up having 3 or 4 more sessions after that. But as of 1 week ago, 1.4.5.6 came out and it wasn't able to host again. I ran ss -tulpn | grep 7777 and got this output:
[system@user ~]$ ss -tulpn | grep 7777
tcp LISTEN 0 4096 0.0.0.0:7777 0.0.0.0:* users:(("TerrariaServer.",pid=20055,fd=6))
To my understanding, if it says LISTEN, it should allow others to join. I just don't understand anymore why this keeps happening. I don't want to host a server wondering if it's even going to work today. If anyone here has any tricks I can try, that would be greatly appreciated.

Game help
(Tux racer roxor uptade) looking for Virus-man ICE arcade dumps
Yeah, this is part of the Tux Racer arcade investigation. Looking deep into the Emuline forum, I found that a dude called Virus-Man had a page with some ICE dumps, including Tux Racer, more specifically the 4.1 version.
I tried to contact him via Discord, but it seems he doesn’t accept DMs from strangers. Also, the guy has a group on Telegram, which I wasn’t able to join.
I tried looking in the Eggman arcade repository, but the game isn’t there. Also, the fact that ALL like, ALL the ICE ROMs got taken down for… reasons, I guess.
There was also a page on the Internet Archive that contained all ICE games, including Tux Racer, but it got taken down too.
At this point, I don’t know what to think, but I still have hope that I or someone will eventually get an ISO file of the game. Maybe I’m stupid and the game is already in the latest TeknoParrot repository from Eggman Arcade.
Still need some help with this.

Should I pick Bazzite or Nobara?
I've been using Mint for about a week and a half on my desktop and it's been going well. But I feel like I may want to swap to a different distro in about a month, so I was wondering if I should pick either Bazzite or Nobara. Both are Fedora based, but Bazzite is immutable like SteamOS. But that means I may not be able to get some things to work in Bazzite like Chocolate Doom. Nobara is not, so I can just use the terminal to install Chocolate Doom or use other things like Ffmpeg without as much trouble. The latter tool though I might get a separate laptop (I'm leaning towards Thinkpad with Fedora) for along with DaVinci Resolve. What do you all think? Should I pick Nobara or Bazzite?
