I've recently been playing some ROM hacked pokemon games. To improve my experience I bought a gamepad, IINE Mini Gamepad (linked), and I cannot get it to give any input at all. I have tried connecting it in the 4 different modes that it offers. It gets recognized in all of them, but no input is detected. I have tried using online keyboard detectors, the emulator's controller setup menu, and evtest. Still nothing. Has anyone had a similar experience?

hey all so ive noticed a strange issue with gears 5 that i havent seen with any other game yet. So i go to play it and it works fine and can play as long as i want no issues. The problems come in when i go back to play again. it always opens up to the easy anticheat splash screen then just closes.

I run it through gamescope for the hdr and ive noticed 2 things: i can get it to launch again by ignoring gamescope and using just proton or i can get it to run with gamescope but i have to either reverify games files (fixes it about half the time) or use a different proton wether its cachyos or GE or proton 9.0.4, the version doesnt seem to matter to much as long as its one that i havent used yet.

Im still looking into it but have no idea where to start or anything.

PS. would also like to add that i have it on steam deck too and it always works 100% hdr and all, its still on the stock steamos

The entire program has been rewritten in rust and is even faster now TTW takes about 2 and half minutes at least for me and I tested it with begin again modlist and everything appeared to be working correctly. I tested FNV/Oblivion BSA decompressor and everything appeared to be working. With the rust release the binary is now even smaller and there is a possibility for a windows release as well. I haven't done extensive testing on the other mpi files so let me know if something isn't working or if i possibly missed something!

EDIT: TTW being Tale of Two Wastelands mod for Fallout New Vegas/3

Medal's embeds were a great way to bypass the discord file size limit, but I cannot use medal on linux. I've been using GPU Screen Recorder which is great, but I have to lower the quality and cut the clip short to post in discord. Is there some workaround?

I've used Linux a couple of times in my life. First we had an Ubuntu Desktop as our family pc for a while, back in the early 2000's. It did the job, mostly, but you couldn't do much besides the basics. Wine existed, but it was very hit or miss and as a teenager I couldn't figure it out.

Later on I installed Mint on an old notebook to have a functioning portable device, but I barely touched that thing as I already had my first gaming PC.

Now here I am, installed CachyOS on my 10 year old desktop and it runs perfectly smooth. I would like a GPU upgrade, as my GTX1060 is getting old, but I played Hogwarts Legacy on it today and it ran quite well.

To anyone who's still on the fence about switching over, do it! It's absolutely worth it!

Trying to set up a Meta Quest 2 for VR on linux via ALVR/SteamVR, but i had too many issues with ZorinOS 17.3 and ended up uninstalling it for windows 10 that freezes every 5 minutes (yippee). Unsure what would be the better distro to use over ZorinOS, or if i should try 18 before anything else?

My current specs are:

AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
RTX 4070
32gb DDR5 @ 6000mt/s
MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk

EDIT: I unfortunately dont have any information on why ZorinOS didnt work as i "rage uninstalled" it, but i recall that after trying to update Pipewire to have sound work on the VR headset, SteamVR kept reporting "Failed to connect to Window Manager", in which i made the very "smart" decision to install KDE Plasma over GNOME where i misconfigured it and messed up my entire system...

I am considering switching to linux but i have some locally saved game files (pirated games hence locally), I want to continue to use them but in what file directory are game save files stored in linux? Preferably want a game to automatically find the save file.

if distro matters for this: probably gonna use fedora/nobara

Hello I am a new user of linux opensuse tumbleweed :)

Since I started using the system, I encountered the same problem with some games (especially the resident evil series). Sometimes the game works perfectly, but other times (often) I face this issue where the game doesn't run a window with this phrase appears (D3D12CreateDeviceFailed) it asks me to restart my computer but that doesn’t solve the problem . I tried changing the Proton version several times, but nothing changed. I also tried using DirectX 11, and I updated the system, but nothing changed. These were the solutions I found on the internet while searching, but none of them worked… I really don't know because the game works sometimes and then won’t open sometimes. Please, if any of you know the solution to the problem, let me know.

I use steam to game and my gpu is ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5070 Ti if that’s helps

I’ve just installed Bazzite on a new build for a plug and play pc project. Never really used linux, except in my teenage years (ubuntu). Right now I’m only using the integrated graphics on my 7700x, but I’m thinking of getting a 9060xt soon. Newbie question: Will I have to reinstall the amd drivers? If thats so, can i just straight download drivers from AMD? Can I upgrade hardware without having to reinstall the whole OS? Thank you in advance!

I finally got on linux mint again and managed to set up 7.1 virtual surround sound via pipewire following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tymRFhUiXVQ

I did everything exactly as the video says and it does work, it's just that it stops working after a while or in a game. To be specific both back and middle speakers stop working same with bass. What I found that fixes itself is to set the audio output to what it was originally then restart my pc, switch to virtual surround sink, test and it works, but only for. im literally loosing my mind

little update: it breaks as soon as i reopen the sound settings and test audio after i switched to surround sound sink

Hello everyone! I am a linux noob, i havent daily driven a linux distro for about 15 years now and i am ready to return! i like gaming (single player 99% of the time) and i use my pc everyday for my work so i want something that is good for both. i have no problem with a little bit of tweaking but i am not looking for something that i am gonna need a whole day just to install a game on it. So after a lot of reading i am between Mint and Pop Os... as far as i understand mint is more stable than pop os but drivers are a bit outdated (i guess bad for gaming) plus i like the ui a lot vs pop os that has the latest drivers but it is not always as stable.... What do you guys think based on your experience? is there a problem if you do not always have the latest drivers? or is there a fps boost on pop os since it is gaming oriented? Is it possible to install the latest drivers on mint even if the version of the os has not been updated? as far as i understand i can install the xanmod kernel and the mesa drivers, will this be the same with pop os after that?? thanks

ps: my rig is
cpu: ryzen 5600x
gpu: amd rx9070xt (big consern for the drivers, new card and every update counts)
ram:32gb

MY SPECS:

OS: Kubuntu 24.04.3 LTS x86_64
CPU: Ryzen 5 7535HS
GPU: Radeon RX 6500M

I've noticed that heavy games/programs run like absolute shit, and checking neofetch/lspci/lshw it seems like my dedicated GPU is not detected.
I've tried searching on the internet but almost all of the solutions/problems are from NVIDIA and I haven't been able to find a way to use the dedicated GPU, wine programs, steam games or anything else, my PC doesn't seem to detect it.

Any way to fix this?? I can't disable the iGPU because HP is a little bitch and their BIOS is abysmal.

Recently bought a new PC with a 5080.

I can use Win10 till october but seeing videos about cachyos makes me want to switch.

Will the drivers and DX12 situation improve any time soon, or should i buy a 9070XT?
