autoscope - A script to automate gamescope resolution selection.
Hey everyone! I have had a longstanding issue with GNOME where my mouse cursor escapes from my full-screen games if I move the cursor quickly and click at the same time... In an effort to find a solution, I was suggested gamescope to solve this problem! While this worked well, I frequently swap between gaming on my laptop display (1920x1200) and my monitors (2560x1440). This of course led to me being required to constantly change the resolution of my display in my steam launch command and in my opinion was not a viable solution. As such, I created this script which detects the true resolution of your primary display and feeds it into a gamescope launch command and runs said command. This completely automates the process of fiddling with resolution values in your steam launch commands and allows you to simply run "autoscope %command%". This is my first time creating and running a github repo and project so if I made any mistakes please lmk so I can fix them over time!

Where Winds Meet Steam Overlay Issue
Does anyone know how to solve that issue? Whenever I try to buy something at the in-game shop or open the in-game browser to answer a survey, nothing happens. Sometimes, the game stops receiving keyboard input after that. I also can't access the steam overlay, which I think might be the reason these things are happening, even if I enable it...

Halo MCC conecting to transport service
I've been struggling trying to play Halo MCC online in my new instalation of arch. I can't get past this message, no matter how much time I wait.
I've tried everything i found in internet, installing firewalld, opening ports, enabling ipv6, relogging, reinstalling, deleting files in the steam folder, using different versions of proton, but nothing seems to work for me.
Curious thing is, that exactly on december 25, online worked perfectly, but just one specific time I opened the game, then later that day, same message appeared and nothing past that.
Has someone else had have this kind of problem? I'll apreciate the help very much.
If some neccesary info of my system is missing, let me know, I'm not used to post for help D:
Linux 6.18.3-arch-1
Hyprland 0.53.1 (Wayland)
Steam with GE-proton10-28

Amd BC 250 with CPU Cooler
Here is my take on the AMD BC-250, removed the stock heat sink, replaced the thermal paste, 3D printed a CPU Cooler mount, zip tied everything together and the board is running at 55-60 Degrees top in Cyberpunk 1080p High/Ultra at 58 FPS :
- Thermalright SI-100 CPU Air Cooler (Amazon)
- SKYWINDINTL Flex PC PSU 400W (AliExpress)
- CPU Fan mount (3D printed)
I’m designing a new mount for the FAN because that one press on some SMD resistor on the board, and could get some adjustments, printing now.
I’m also working on a case that put everything together with USB and power button on the front panel.

FSR Framegen missing?
A couple days ago I put together a Bazzite “steam machine” to be used as a living room console. Been having a lot of fun with it. It is a 3700x with a rx7700 16gb (non xt). Interesting GPU that’s only available as an oem I’m pretty sure, bought it from a guy that took it out of a prebuilt.
I’m having one issue. In arc raiders I have no FSR framegen option available to turn on. It’s running pretty good at a locked 4k60, but I wouldn’t mind trying to get 120 with framegen.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it my hardware? Is it a limitation with Bazzite? Is it Arc Raiders fault? I haven’t gotten to test any other games yet to see if it’s an option

RPCS3 on Ubuntu 25.10
My RPCS3 appimage is not running on Ubuntu 25.10
I have a Ryzen 5 5600 and an RX 6600.
I tried running it from the terminal but it's not giving me logs to work with.
I've already installed the two versions of libfuse2:
sudo apt install libfuse2
sudo apt install libfuse2t64
Then I tried:
sudo chmod +x rpcs3-v0.0.39-18612-9b256d71_linux64.AppImage
I also tried running it with the AppImageLauncher but it's still not running.
The snap version is outdated.
The flatpak version works. Is the flatpak version the only way? I didn't want to install another repository just for RPCS3. I'm hoping to make this AppImage version to work on my Ubuntu system.

This Time For Sure - Ron Gilbert on attempting to switch to Linux in 2026
Alienware M17 R5 Update
I just wanted to come in here and give you guys an update as everyone here are always so helpful. I tried to edit the original post to give an update, but could not figure out how to do it via mobile for some reason. Link below to original post. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/s/QR1zFvsj3F
So, I loaded Bazzite on this machine and it works great with the only tweak being to disable raid in the BIOS before install. It wouldn't see my SSD, only my secondary drive until I disabled raid.
It loaded without a hitch and I loaded RDR2 right up, made a few in game tweaks and played for about 15 minutes with no issue. I am currently downloading a bunch of stuff.
Also, I have seen others question about their LED lighting not working. Mine retained the settings apparently from Windows. I guess the lighting settings are saved to the BIOS because the LED theme is what I had before. Of course, there is no way to change it now, but I do like what I set up before, so it is good.
I wanted to thank all of you for your advice! I look forward to enjoying playing in the Linux environment and it feels like a brand new machine! Cheers and thank you all again!

As An RTX Enjoyer, I'm Gutted
I bought myself a 5080 over the holidays, & couldn't wait to use path tracing in Cyberpunk. I knew ray tracing was worse on Linux, but I didn't expect a performance delta this large. Even though I'll be using Windows 11 LTSC so I won't get all the copilot BS crammed down my throat, I'd much rather stay on EndeavourOS. The juice doesn't seem worth the squeeze, & I'm begging Nvidia to fix its driver situation, along with whatever else these distributions can do to help bridge the gap.

Can't get The Sims 4 to work on Linux (tried Steam, Lutris, Bottles)
Hey everyone, I’m having a hard time trying to install The Sims 4 on my Linux PC. I’ve already tried using Lutris and Bottles to get the EA App running, but no luck. I also tried Heroic and even Steam (Proton), but I just can't make it work. It either doesn't open or crashes. Does anyone know a way to actually make it run? I'm on Linux Mint btw

Storage Drive Partitioning for Windows and Linux
I've tried looking for an answer to this on the forums, but keep coming across people who want to dual boot from one drive or some other unrelated goal, so I'm making a new thread and hoping someone can help. I appreciate your time in advance.
In addition to a NAS I have running with multiple 28TB HDDs (mostly for archiving, full-res video edit backups, books, movies, etc.), my main computer itself is currently running 2 4TB M.2 nVME drives. I'm adding a 3rd one today, but before I begin partitioning I want to be sure I'm setting everything up right. It will be used for storing Blender docs and Steam games.
Essentially, I want to know if I'm safe to just format the whole drive as NTFS and make one massive partition, or if I should make a Windows partition with half of the available space, and a separate partition on Linux for the other half.
Basically, I just don't want to overthink something that could be simple, but also don't want to assume it's simpler than I anticipate and end up risking corruption of files. Thank you so much for your help.

Is it possible that there any correlation between the Windows-to-Linux migration and a player drop in games with Kernel-level Anti-cheat
Hi everyone,
With the upcoming EOL of Windows 10 and the privacy/bloatware concerns surrounding Windows 11, it feels like more people are seriously considering the switch to Linux.
However, we know that the biggest barrier remains Kernel-level anti-cheat (like Vanguard, EA Anti-Cheat, Ricochet, etc.) which completely blocks Linux users.
My question is: Has anyone seen data or trends suggesting that these games are actually losing a noticeable number of players because users are prioritizing their OS choice (Linux) over the game? Or is the migration still too small to make a dent in the player base of giants like LoL, Valorant, or COD?
Personally, I'm curious if developers will ever see the "Linux refusal" as a metric worth worrying about, or if they think that we are just expected to dual-boot forever.

NVIDIA to AMD GPU
I’ve been running KDE Fedora for about 2 years now, I keep it up to date and I’m on 43. I started with an Nvidia RTX 4090…it worked fine for the most part but every time I do sudo dnf update I say a pray. A couple times things went really bad and I had to reload the rpm Nvidia driver. I decided to buy an AMD 9070xt over Christmas. I cannot believe the difference, from install to my games just flat out running better/looking better. Anyone who is on the fence and loves Linux, go with AMD.

I've been trying to make the change to Nobara from Windows but I have been dragging my feet.
So I've been trying to make the change to Nobara, after using Bazzite for my TV PC (rip my rams) on my main PC and I have some things that I need cleared since the research that I've done has not really made the deciding factor for me yet. So I figured I would ask myself.
- I have an Steelseries Arctis 7+ Wireless headphone which I had to adjust the EQ from its software Steelseries GG which I found to be not working on Linux. ( I do not use chatmix ) Would it be feasible and relatively easy for me to use the EasyEffects with it or as of now does the Steelseries GG works out of the box?
- From what I gather the digitally maintained 7.1 surround system they do on Windows does not work with Linux, which I'm happy to find a work around since I found a github repo for it, but what are the main solutions, if there are any, for this problem? And would they work with my headphones?
- I hear that logitechs shitty GHUB don't work on Linux either, I hear there is some software out there that allows you to rebind your mouse as an alternative. Since I use specific mouse binds and occasionally macros how comfortable is it would be for my G502X?
- And lastly, which this is going to be a bit specific, does Seamless Coop for Elden Ring and Convergence ER work? I understand that there would be a couple hoops to jump through in order to get it to work but all the posts I find are 4 years old. Perhaps many of the issues were fixed?
I just had a couple of questions before making the commitment on my main machine since I use it not only to game and stream but also code since after the backups it would be a full wipe. Thank you in advance and since I'm a software engineer and used many other Linux distros before, please don't refrain from getting technical. I'm not bothered by rgb since openRGB exists.

How to play BloodStrike MENA on Linux?
Hey there! I want to play BloodStrike on Linux. I know that I can just download the steam version but because that I was playing BloodStrike MENA "the Middle East Version" I wanted to play with my MENA account and I couldn't on Steam version because it's global. But I figured out that I can play with it on MENA version using an exe but for MENA version. That was on Windows.

UTechSmart Venus Pro MMO Mouse config utility.
I reverse engineered the protocol used by the Windows configuration utility for this mouse, and have made decent headway into recreating something similar for Linux. I hope this is useful to someone.
UTechSmart Venus Pro Linux Config Utility
It allows the rebinding of the side buttons, the fire button, RGB configuration, DPI, USB polling rate, and has basic macro support. Configuration is written to the mouse and persists even if used on another device. Just make sure the mouse is plugged in to USB to make changes to it, it won't work wireless, though you can use wireless after changes are applied.
