Center click
Hello! I've been loving my experience with the system, I use dual boot and I only use windows if I absolutely have to. Everything is great but the only problem I'm having is center click. I don't like the dragging and I specially DONT' like the paste. Suposedly on quick settings the center click paste is disabled but it still keeps happening. Is there any way to make it work like it would on windows? No pasting nor dragging?

my cs2 x11 - wayland dilemma
i use cachyos on kde plasma on my i5 12th gen + rtx 4060 laptop
my situation is as follows: i prefer to play cs2 with a 4:3 stretched aspect ratio and that just doesn't work well with x11, i managed to get it to work with gamescope, putting my launch settings as;
gamescope --expose-wayland -W 1440 -H 1080 -f -S stretch -r 144 -- %command%
but then my cursor would get stuck in an invisible box which meant i couldnt aim, and i managed to fix that with
gamescope --expose-wayland -W 1440 -H 1080 -f -S stretch -r 144 --force-grab-cursor -- %command%
at this point 4:3 stretched works just fine and steam overlay works but the performance is noticeably choppier than wayland. and wayland perfectly does the 4:3 stretch without me tinkering with anything, the performance is great, but breaks steam overlay, which i really need. so i guess my options are a) stick with wayland, enjoy the great performance but don't use steam overlay, or b) bite the bullet, get used to the poor performance with x11 but have access to a working steam overlay !
i'm new to linux and loving most parts and hating some parts but this was an annoyance to me that i couldnt manage to fix... i mainly want steam overlay for its game recording feature because i want a shadowplay-like tool where i can save clips of my gameplay which i love doing, and screenshots, which i can use obs for, but its a bit of a hassle. i would love being able to use the features steam already comes with...
i hope soon steam overlay works with wayland / vulkan, or whatever's wrong and prevents us from getting the best of both worlds

Full steam crash when loading into Arc Raiders matches
Happens on Proton GE, doesnt matter if i use gamescope or not.
I'd say it happens only about 5% of the time, but thats just enough to annoy the hell out of me.
When it happens, it always happens like this- my game freezes on the loading screen, and then the game + steam crashes entirely.
Anybody else experiencing this?

Can't play installed steam games on Kubuntu 22.04?
I'm new to linux and linux gaming. I used the steaminstaller via Kubuntu's app store, and installed a few older games (Age of Empires II 2023 and Thief Gold).
They downloaded fine, and when I try running Thief, it gets to the main menu in a smaller window, and the mouse pointer will only travel halfway down the menu as if there's an invisible border. Clicking new game caused it to shut down.
I tried loading AoE II, and it made it to the startup menu. I selected play game, and it shut down immediately.
Both of these games worked fine when I had windows 10 installed and I have an older Nvidia 470 that I installed a driver for, so it should work. Any ideas for diagnosing the issue?
Both games rank as "gold" on protondb.com

Do we think Forza Horizon 6 will work with proton?
Horizon 5 apparently does work with proton but Forza Motorsport (the latest release) doesn’t unfortunately. However Motorsport was developed by a different company.
Was wondering what the community thinks

Steam won't start without Vulkan... but my system doesn't support Vulkan
Hi I have a ThinkPad X201 Tablet and before any of you jump at me saying this thing is ancient - yeah but a bunch of my steam library still runs without issue. Except there is an issue now - steam does not want to launch on Void Linux without Vulkan drivers.
If I start it it says:
CVulkanTopology: failed create vulkan instance: -9
Failed to query vulkan gpu topology
Exit code: -2
And the rest of the errors are all relating to Vulkan as well. The issue is I don't have vulkan and I don't want vulkan because opengl performs better on my machine but still refuses to launch at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!

Multiple ArcSystem Works Fighting games not launching on EndeavorOS
I'm using EndeavorOS and I'm trying to play multiple arcsystem fighting games, this includes:
- Blazblue centralfiction
- Undernight inbirth [clr]
- Undernight inbirth 2
When I click the play button on steam, it says "launching" then "stop" then goes back to the green play button with no window opening or no error showing.
These games all start with pre-rendered intros, so I think that might be part of the issue?
I tried proton experiments, hotfix, and ge, as well as multiple different versions.
my graphics card is nvidia rtx 3060
logs from running it: https://pastebin.com/XWTxRs0q
also tried adding the launch commands:

How good DDR4 laptop HP Victus 15 with RTX 3050 for 3d Softwares and DaVinci Resolve?
GameGuard Error code: 50424 popping up when trying to play Helldivers 2
When I press play on Steam it opens up the GameGuard launcher window like usual but proceeds to open this instead of the game.
This started happening after The Redacted Regiment -update and I haven't had any problems before it.
I've tried different proton versions (10,0-4, Hotfix, Experimental) and updating the software and drivers without any difference. It also can't be any interfering program because I've tried it with only Steam open.
Specs:
OS: Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon
CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2689 (don't judge me I got this from my dad)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080
I'm also playing Helldivers with the prod_slim -demo-version. Again with no problems before the update.

Help me find a video where a (Valve?) Engineer was talking about making Windows game running on Linux (Proton?) without require porting.
I know I'm casting a wide net here because I don't remember a lot of details of that vid I watched briefly a few months ago. The vid itself is probably way older.
I'm pretty sure it was an Engineer from Valve talking about how they're developing for Linux (Proton?) to become such a way that the OS will "translate" native Windows game/software to make it run on Linux without taxing the system performance-wise.
I don't remember much beside that but just wondering if anyone have any clue what I'm talking about and/or could link me that vid again.

Void Cargo - physics-based cargo lander, developed on Linux
I've been working on Void Cargo for a while now and figured it's time to share it here. The game is developed entirely on Linux and I do most of my testing on Steam Deck, so native support isn't an afterthought.
The Steam page for Void Cargo is already live :)
The pitch: you fly a lander across alien moons, taking contracts to haul cargo between extraction sites, refineries, and production facilities. Physics-based flight, but on the accessible end.
What does matter: mass. A full cargo hold makes you sluggish. Burning fuel makes you lighter. Efficiency drops at high altitude and high lateral velocity, which pushes you to fly low and stay engaged with the terrain. Wind is always nudging you off course.
The environments are the other half of it. Toxic oceans, mountain ranges, fog, lightning rifts, meteor storm you can fly through if you're feeling brave (or impatient). Different regions have different feels.
Happy to answer questions if anyone's curious.

Easily update to the latest DLSS for your game
I am recently new to linux gaming, and because a lot of people use different distros that do the commands differently, it was not straight forward to me to understand how to update to the latest DLSS preset when you just have a standard set up: Eg Mint + Steam + Proton (not GE).
In case you have you come across the same question that took me some time to research, this is the way:
Open launch options for the game in Steam:
Use DXVK_NVAPI_SET_NGX_DEBUG_OPTIONS=DLSSIndicator=1024,DLSSGIndicator=2 %command% to verify which preset you are in (launch game to see)
Then, set the below on launch options to update to the latest preset.
PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER=1 DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_SETTINGS=NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE=on,NGX_DLSS_RR_OVERRIDE=on,NGX_DLSS_FG_OVERRIDE=on,NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=render_preset_latest,NGX_DLSS_RR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=render_preset_latest %command%
After that, you should see you are running the latest version. Then you can remove the overlay by the following command:
DXVK_NVAPI_SET_NGX_DEBUG_OPTIONS=DLSSIndicator=0,DLSSGIndicator=0
Following this the overlay will be gone and you are done. You can also go ahead and remove this last command from the launch options.
Further info https://github.com/jp7677/dxvk-nvapi/wiki/Passing-driver-settings
I do not think there are downsides to doing this on each game that supports DLSS, but perhaps someone can build if that's the case.
I did this recently on Uncharted Legacy of Thieves that runs on DLSS 2 natively, and the update to Preset K was abismal in the reduction of artifacts and visual quality, quite impressive.
