Other News about gaming on Linux
Would anyone want to create a list of device management software that works on Linux or has its replacements?
Hi I've been trying to find software for few devices and how those can be replaced run through wine etc.
I think that having a github repo with list or outright dedicated webpage which would work similar to protondb with solutions for specific software of hardware vendors/producents would be great thing.
anyone would like to colaborate on making such thing?

Headphones can't connect via Bluetooth
Hey guys,
I'm running Garuda, the Dragonized KDE-Version, since a few years now. It's been fine bar some typical problems running a Nvidia card. I've recently bought wireless Sony Headphones (WH-1000XM5) and they work fine with my phone and work laptop. Searching for it via the UI Bluetooth Widget Garuda comes with (actually dont know which it is) and via bluetoothctl can't seem to find it. Since the Garuda-install I haven't messed with audio modules yet, as everything I used worked out of the box. I'm running Pipewire. Some Online Guides and ChatGPT advised to check some outputs to see if everything is in order:
$ pactl info | grep "Server Name" Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.4.6) $ pactl list | grep bluetooth session.services = "[bluetooth.midi, api.v4l2, api.bluez, midi, policy.linking.standard, audio, policy.device.routes, api.alsa-seq, bluetooth.audio, policy.device.profile, video-capture, policy.default-nodes, policy.linking.role-based, api.alsa, api.libcamera]"Other Guides suggested to install ´pipewire-pulse wireplumber´, which I did, restarted BT via Systemctl but to no avail.
The Archwiki hasn't really been helpful yet (or I haven't recognized the useful part).
I've been using exclusively Linux for quite some years now and am a vivid fan of open source in general, but despite being a developer myself I've somehow managed to actually not know a lot to troubleshoot my own system :D Can you guys help me? Would be really nice to finally ditch my old wired Headset to free up some desk space.

Did i do something wrong or is my laptop just so slow?
I got a Laptop for work and tried running The Binding Of Isaac on it. I would say it's not a really "heavy" game, but it takes like 2:40 min to start. It seems really long to me and because i don't have knowledge about hardware i wanted to ask if i configured my system wrong or if its just so slow.
neofetch:

[7800X3D/9060XT] Random hard freezes
hi everyone,
since i got my new PC i have been experiencing random hard freezes that totally hang the system and require a button reset. if sound is playing right when the freeze happens, the last ~1 second is looped. it has happened when i was just browsing the web, watching videos or playing games. the freezing usually happens when the system has been running for a few hours but has also happened sooner than that.
i wasn't able to find a recent enough post about that resembled my issue, but i've seen something said about RAM and memory swaps. i am running DDR5 with EXPO enabled on my ASUS motherboard and ~20GB of swap memory for 32GB of RAM.
some other details that might be relevant:
- uname -a: Linux nixos 6.15.7 #1-NixOS SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jul 17 16:44:05 UTC 2025 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- Mesa version: 25.1.6
- BIOS version release date: 2025/06/18

I've just released a demo for my game that's been in the works for 4 years. Believe it or not, it was all done in Vim on Arch with a little bit of pain!
Space Dingus is a spiritual sequel to Death Road to Canada

Wow Install via Steam on Bazzite.. cannot find WoW directory
So as title of post says, I installed WoW via Steam on Bazzite. The game launches fine and works great. I just cannot for the life of me find the install directory so I can put in some addons. I left the default install path, but I can't find it. When I go to browse local files, it takes me to where Battle.Net is installed, but not where WoW is.
Anyone have any advice?

RTX HDR?
One of the main things holding me back from switching over fully is RTX HDR. I have a nice hdr monitor and really like the look of rtx hdr for non-hdr games. Is there a viable alternative or way to get it working on Linux?

To the racing/flight sim types: Any luck with one distro style over another, or does it really matter?
I'm guessing the answer to this question will be what it is for any "wat am best distro" question - that it doesn't really matter. However, with this more unusual use-case, I thought I'd ask directly to be sure, since it seems like everything else I want to do will work just fine in Linux. Racing and flight sims are the one thing holding me back.
I'm making the jump to Linux to flee the terrors of Win11 before it tries to suck me in (read: I have Win10 and I ain't goin' to 11). I've been messing around with distros for the last couple of weeks, researching what can and can't be done, etc., and I'm waffling between running Pop_OS, Fedora, and CachyOS. The only thing I really plan to do with the desktop this will be on is games, sims, and just basic user stuff, since I have a laptop that I'll use for any real computing I need to do.
Is there anything I really need to consider when picking a distro when it comes to giving hardware the best chance to work? I run full Virpil with TrackIR for flying, and Thrustmaster and Heusinkveld for racing. It sounds like things will, surprisingly, work alright with a little effort, apart from maybe the TS-PC wheel (no drivers that I've found) and TrackIR, as I'm unsure if the sensor works with OpenTrack. But I'd hate to get neck deep in Debian just to find out that Arch should have been my choice, or whatever. I work in IT during the day, so while I do know my way around (mostly-ish...), I'm not looking to tinker and maximize everything. Just looking for something that will work "well" so I can keep my hobbies at night.
Any advice?

What are the chances of Wine working generally?
Just wanted to make a quick survey. What percentage of apps/games worked with Wine?
I have used Wine as for applications only once and it wasn't pretty good. So wanted to hear from you guys. Maybe I am doing something wrong.
