Does drive encryption affect performance in any way?

Hello, I am currently in the install process of Arch Linux and I was wondering if encrypting the drive would affect performance in any way, whether in games or in some sort of intensive task.

issue with Garuda Gamer program

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 9 Nov 2024 - 1:41am

Howdy

This is my first fore into non debian linux distros (steam deck doesn't count lol). I setup Garuda linux as the base of a game/file/media server. I was trying to use their gamer app, I'm mostly using this for steam and 2-3 emulators i can't run on my deck. I only wanted a few games under "games' like 0AD, Saurbraten, etc. so I only checked those. I went ahead with the install and now for some reason there's a bunch of those games in the games portion of my start menu. So I went back, unchecked them, okay. says it's going to remove them. great. still there. am I missing something?

Need help with a Logitech G923 Steering Wheel Issue.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 8 Nov 2024 - 7:54pm

Long story short, I have bought a Logi G923 xbox/pc version wheel, it works out of box on Ubuntu 24 when the modeswitch command is used, all the games I have tried have worked so far apart from one which is doing my head in. It's Farming Simulator 22. Does anyone else use the same wheel on the game with success, or are you having issues with the steering axis mapping. I map it to turn right and it works, when mapped to turn left the game sends the wheels full lock to the right at the slightest left turn of the wheel. Any help is appreciated with this.
