I saw a video by Linux next the other day and he was show casing go overlay with optiscaler being introduced. I want to try it out but I'm unsure which I should use?

Should I be using the app image from the GitHub or should I be installing the flatpak or the official respository of my distro.

I'm also asking this because I've heard the flatpak of mangohud doesn't work well, I don't know if thats true or not?

This post serves as a direct complaint against current Lutris project policies and the hostile management of community contributed installer scripts.

The Disconnect from Reality

There is a profound misunderstanding at the projects core regarding digital media.

Lutris Moderators have claimed that delisted games are "no longer provided" by stores, yet:

• Ownership persists: Platforms holders provide access for delisted games indefinitely to those who own them.
• Standalone installers are rare: Suggesting that users "use original DVD/CD images" for games that never had physical releases or require digital activation is out of touch with 20 years of PC gaming history.

Hostile Moderation & Gatekeeping

A project that relies on the community should not silence it. Closing discussions and refusing to listen to users who are trying to preserve access to their legally owned libraries is a power trip that harms the Linux gaming ecosystem. By deleting these scripts, developers are actively sabotaging preservation efforts.

I am sharing this not to incite conflict, but to ask the community

Is preservation still a priority for us? If we accept the logic that delisted games should be scrubbed from Lutris, we are effectively agreeing that our digital libraries have an expiration date dictated by storefronts.

I want to hear your thoughts on how we can better safeguard these scripts, perhaps through a community run archive or a 'Legacy' status for scripts rather than simply deleting them.

Hello folks,

Does anyone know how to get the mobile client from here:

Releases · 2009scape/2009Scape-mobile

To run on a private server via my NAS.

I've created a short JSON file that links to my IP:

{ "ip": "192.168.**.***", "port": 43594, "management_port": 43595 }

However whenever I try and launch the client and game I get these errors in the logs:

I downloaded the pirated version of Dead Space 2023, but right at the beginning of the game I'm experiencing micro-stutters in movement and an absurd delay in shader compilation before the game starts.

I have a Ryzen 7 5700x and a 5060ti 16gb, 16gb of RAM and SSD, the game at the beginning with everything on high runs at 90 fps but it keeps having some serious frame rate drops.

Could it be because of DirectX 12? I had the same problem with Lords of the Fallen and went to Windows to play it without problems, but I didn't want to do that again.

I have a duel boot PC, and my Windows install has proven wildly unreliable. Not an issue, since I use Linux Mint for most things, but I've never been able to get an android emulator working on it. I've tried following several guides, and it never seems to work out.

I'm not a coder, or a programmer. I'm a user. I can follow instructions, but I don't often know when I'm doing something wrong.

Most of my gaming is either Linux-Capable, or on Android. I'd like to play my android games on the PC.

So I need a clear, step-by-step, preferably idiot proof guide to installing an android emulator on Linux Mint.

I’m new to Linux. I recently bought a GameSir T4 Nova Lite, and it worked perfectly on Windows. However, after switching to CachyOS, it didn’t work at first. I followed this guide and managed to get it working: https://github.com/demonich/Gamesir-T4-Nova-Lite-Linux-Guide The problem is that the controller vibration (rumble) doesn’t work. I’m using the controller through the USB dongle. Is there any way to fix or enable vibration on Linux?

Will 2026 truly be the real year of Linux gaming on the desktop? Perhaps! And now even GOG are hiring towards building up their Linux support for GOG Galaxy.

I ordered a new laptop, the Lenovo Legion 5 15IRX10.
Specs (if that matters): 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, RTX 5060 (so NVIDIA, which I’ve heard can be hit or miss), and an Intel Core i7-13650HX.

The laptop ships with no OS installed, because I’m considering the following setup: Linux as my main OS (gaming + daily use), and Windows as a separate OS on a spare 256 GB SSD that I’d buy as an upgrade.

I’m thinking of keeping Windows mainly (1) to make the transition easier and smoother, and (2) as a fallback for Windows-only software or games with incompatible anti-cheat.

My usage is mostly gaming (single-player AAA games, soulslikes, metroidvanias, and some occasional Minecraft).

So my questions are: for people who made the switch, how did it go? Was it a good choice in the long run?
And what distro would you recommend if my main goals are gaming and watching series/movies?

I'm a junior dev. I regularly play games. Normally I use Visual Studio on company. But since I'm trying to daily drive cachy I decided I could keep the development up with free version of intellij rider. But; I tried arch linux not long ago. And I liked it better than Cachy. Lately I don't have much time but I enjoyed more of do everything yourself logic. Makes me grasp more of my computer's concepts. I'm planning to return back to arch. What are your thoughts?
