Other News about gaming on Linux
Anyone old enough to remember the terrible game bloboats? Who developed that, and what ever happened to the game?
Part 2 of a previous post
So my friend made a game that is a .desktop file, but he also made a .exe version. I tried using wine to open it but it never works. Is there a step by step surefire way or set of commands you guys can copy and paste into the comments for me to use?
If it helps any, I run Linux on Chrome OS

I'm a CS Student and made a gui tray app to fix Corsair headset issues on Linux (Battery, Sidetone, Lights). Feedback welcome!
Hello everyone. I'm a computer science student, and I created this project out of necessity: I was looking for a clean way to see the status of my Corsair headset on Linux without constantly relying on the terminal.
Because of this, I thought of making something similar to the proprietary software options we have for Windows, a "widget" to be able to view the battery without relying on the CLI, making it comfortable and accessible. Take a look if you're interested; I openly welcome opinions and comments about the project.

help with steam
hello y'all, so I've installed Linux for a few days, but in all the distro I have tried (Ubuntu, mint, pop os, manjaro...) steam never worked, the only time it almost worked is with nobara, but only with one single game, and after restarting the computer it stopped working. with steam not working I mean that I can't run it, or I can but both I can't install proton (disk write error), or just can't run games, without any error, just doesn't work. the only thing that I did is changing the game directory to an external SSD, but even before I did it, it didn't work. Can someone help me?

looking for a steelseries mixer/noise cancellation alternative for linux
so i've been considering making the jump from windows to linux, already checked most of my software and games and i'd say most of the stuff i use is compatible or native, or can be used with proton or wine (based on what i've read i'm not suuuper knowledgable yet)
now here's my situation, i love the control steelseries.gg gives me in terms of the mixer functionality, routing, and noise cancellation for my mic, as well as 100% mic monitoring uptime (after so long having it to make sure i soudn good and my level is good, i just can't seem to use my mic anymore without it), all of which runs fairly well in one package without a crazy overhead or latency, and streamer mode is amazing for separating the levels that i hear vs what viewers hear when i stream,
and here's the question now that you have the info: is there a good alternative? either all in 1 for all the features listed above or a low number of programs to get all the features i want, i'm not a fan of gpu based noise cancellation (rtx voice/broadcast) as everytime i've tried something like that it's run into issues or randomly decided to use all my gpu resources weirdly.
i'm new to linux so my searching skills for something like that is not as good as finding software and alternatives for things for windows, so i figured i'd ask here
TLDR: looking for a mixer/eq/mic monitoring/noise cancellation for linux as either an all in one package or a low number of packages to get the same usefulness

FPS drop when playing any video (Nvidia GPU)
https://reddit.com/link/1ogy83z/video/194l17b69jxf1/player
You can see the fps drop and the frametime going crazy when I press the play button, I get the same result when playing the video in brave, firefox and even VLC media player (flatpak).
I thought it might be the powermizer because it was acting weird like lower clock speed and lower power consumption when the video is playing, so I ran
nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GpuPowerMizerMode=1
in the terminal hoping that would fix things, The number now look normal in powermizer the clocks and power is what they should be, but the issue is still there.
I have followed this guide to install my nvidia driver and the one i have currently is 580.95.05
Edit: I forgot to add the game is BDO and is running on lutris, I tried Proton - Exp, GE-Proton 9-4 And GE-Proton 10-20. I installed both of the GE Protons through ProtonUp-Qt, And the Experimental just came with the package.
Note: I have two GPUs one is RTX3080 which is the Main one, and Another which is the AMD Radeon R7 430 in hopes to have VFIO setup when I find the right tutorial, I haven't touched the AMD GPU from the software side, but the second monitor is connected to it.

gaming clips compilation tools
Hey,
when you record gaming sessions, for content creation, what tools do you use to cut and edit clips into one single video?

Im suddenly getting double inputs on Steam games, does anyone else have/had that problem?
As the title says, since a month ore two ago I noticed that sometimes I get random inputs (pause or home button) or random double inputs. At first I thought my controller (8bitdo ultimate 2c, 2,4ghz dongle) simply started to act up, but after trying another controller (switch pro controller with a cable) I had the exact same problem. Changing USB ports didnt help either. So clearly it seems to be an OS or Steam problem. Right now Im on Fedora 42, fully updated, no unusual configurations done at all, using RPM Steam. In Steam I disabled Steam input but tried to enable it too, but the problem persisted. Whats interesting though is the fact that I dont see double inputs on gamepad tester (a website) as well as the Steam input testing option. But there might be a chance that I simply didnt see it, so Im not too sure if this says anything. Chances are that the double inputs are so fast that it doesnt show on test software but still get registered in games.
Anyway, I would appreciate some ideas how to proceed from here. Maybe I just install Fedora 43 once its out and test the Steam Flatpak version as well.

[Benchmark} Windows vs Linux Gaming – 10 AAA Games Side-by-Side | RX 580 + Ryzen 1600 | Clean Gameplay Benchmarks
After my previous Linux-only benchmark post, I wanted to take things further - this time testing Windows 11 Pro (23H2) vs Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS across the same 10 AAA games, side-by-side.
All footage is clean gameplay only - no menus, no load screens, no inventory pauses.
Each test was filtered using a custom Python script to remove spikes and non-playable segments, giving a fair comparison between both OSes.
---
## System Specs
CPU : Ryzen 5 1600
GPU : XFX RX 580 8 GB (Mesa 25.0.7 / Adrenalin 25.8.1)
RAM : 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz (Corsair Vengeance, 2×8 Dual Channel)
SSD : Patriot P310 NVMe 512 GB (PCIe 3.0)
Linux : Distro Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
Kernel : 6.14.0-33
Wine : Wine-GE 8-26 & Wine 10.16 Staging
Windows : Windows 11 Pro 23H2
Monitoring : Tools | MangoHUD (Linux) / MSI Afterburner (Windows)
Resolution : 1920×1080

---
## Conclusions
- On average, Linux trails Windows by ~15-20%, mostly due to shader and translation overhead.
- Frame pacing is consistently smoother on Linux in lighter titles like GTA V and Uncharted 4.
- Heavy CPU-bound titles (TLOU I/II, Elden Ring) still favor Windows but remain playable.
- Given identical hardware, Ubuntu + Wine GE proves remarkably capable for AAA gaming.
Would love your feedback - especially if you’ve tested any of these titles with newer Wine/Proton GE builds or kernel patches!

Minecraft performance is worse compared to when I had windows.
I switched to Linux Fedora yesterday. Has been a great experience. I installed Minecraft expecting it to run better than windows, but instead it was actually worse. On windows i could run at 32 render distance with stable fps and no micro-stutters. On Linux at 32 render distance, anytime I move my camera I get this insane micro-stutters. It's really annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am already using performance mods like Sodium & such. I'm on Java 21.

Weird gpu performance
Anyone else experienced this weird behavior?
GPU frequency and power is low in rdr2 and then suddenly ramps up to expected performance. Performance is most often sluggish…
TUF 7900 XTX
It only happens in some games. GoW Ragnarok for example performs perfect at around 100% gpu utilization.
I have tried everything I Can Think of. Different compatability levels. Setting GPU frequency fixed at ~2500mhz for both min and Max. Both via corectrl and rocm-smi. Using gamemoderun. Made sure mesa drivers are up to date.
It works fine in windows.

Video Production question
Any chance avid media composer can run by virtue of proton or any other linux?
It is currently windows and apple only. Linux would be awesome if there was a way to make it work

DIsk write error on Steam, using Linux MInt. Can't play anything on my external hard drive.
I just switched from Windows to Linux MInt and everything is working fine, except for Steam. I tried installing a game to my external hard drive and whenever I try playing this error occurs. What can I do? I've heard the issue is not using the .deb file to download STeam but I did download the .deb file, and I don't know what's happening. Any help please? I'm very new to all of this. Thanks in advance.
The aforementioned error, I don't know what's going on.

virtual screens for sunshine
So I'm trying to create a new virtual screen in CachyOS to be able to stream through sunshine but I still don't know how to do it, I read that there is a way through the kernel or something but it doesn't work for me since I only have a Displayport video output so if I use it I won't be able to use my monitor, does anyone have an idea how to achieve this?

Hello everyone, I wanted to play with mods
I've already tried installing mods in several ways and I couldn't. On Win I just created a ~mods folder and put the files inside them, apparently this doesn't work on Linux, at least it didn't work with marvel rivals, which naturally didn't give me a headache in the past. Do you know of any easy and practical way to download mods for my games? Do you have any cool tutorials you can send me? If Linux is not yet ready for this, I would appreciate the help of anyone who stopped to read this post.
