Posting here because I'm on Linux (Kubuntu 24.10). I have both Joycon pairs connected via bluetooth, and Steam recognizes both of them, but only as separate controllers. There is an option under Controller settings in Steam to combine joycon pair, but ticking this option does not appear to have any effect, even after restarting Steam. My Steam client is up to date (version 1757650573). What is the correct way to combine the Joycon pair? Am I doing something wrong? I can't seem to find anyone else online who's had this problem, either. In all the online guides and videos I've seen, checking the box for Combine Joycons seems to just work instantly.

I've noticed german amazon now has these cable matters which were referenced here quite a few times.

How reliable is the VRR experience? I don't have 4k120hz tv but have freesync TV which I would love to use for those occasions where games drop to 55fps and so on.

Distro of choice is Bazziteos which I think should work out of the box

I love gaming on Linux but one thing destroys my gaming experience. I need to bind spacebar=shoot; caps lock=ads (mb2) and its great when games have option to change bindings to my liking but its not always the case and even today when Linux made so much progress i cant seem to find simple utility that would let me to change keyboard n mouse bindings on wayland! Maybe someone who is better and smarter with Linux, could help me out? I am using Pika os hyprland (debian syd).

I’m running Arch Linux on an RTX 4070 with the latest NVIDIA drivers (580.82.09) and Vulkan installed. I’m trying to play World War Z: Aftermath via Heroic Games Launcher using Epic Games version, but I’m stuck at the warning/loading screen.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• Verified Vulkan works (vulkaninfo shows NVIDIA driver properly)
• Installed Proton-GE
• Tried -dx11 launch flag
• Ensured NVIDIA drivers and 32-bit Vulkan libs are installed

Despite all this, the game is still stuck on the warning screen. Logs don’t show any obvious errors — just the game hanging.

I tried it with Garuda last year, but that didnt work out properly, but now that FSR4 is possible on my 79XTX , i put more effort into it, and CachyOs is just awesome! Most of the Stuff works kinda outtada box, but still u gotta have some knowledge Bout computing! Since two days i was trying to figure out Ubisoft on Linux thru Lutris, yesterday DIDIT! 😁 I think Linux is just awesome, even when yesterday did a win11 update and it spoiled my Boot Partition, Cachyos was still therr! Luckily I had my Workstation for making Boot usb. But for my gaming System, I am considering to use mostly LinuxI its just wonderful! .... Hm... My type writing Has gotten much better! So thats about my State ATM! 😉

I was having issues with my run button in hollow knight silksong. For some reason it turns the sprint button to a toggle (a busted one at that...). Found a post and turns out steam decks are also having the same issue (i'm using arch and an 8bitdo). The fix for me was to install protonGE (using version 10) and swap compatibility in steam. Regular proton is missing a codec for the cutscenes so they won't play.

Hey all, I've noticed an issue that's been happening with my rig for a while. My 6750XT is seemingly never at full utilisation, and is usually sitting around %75-%85 or lower, even when struggling to hit 60fps. Most recently this has been happening with Borderlands 4 (horribly optimised, I know) where I'm struggling to get 60 fps on absolute lowest graphics without framegen, when identical rigs are getting much higher.

I'm getting my GPU info from Mangohud and LACT which are both telling me the same thing. The GPU is not getting too hot (sitting at around 70 degrees or less), and not using it's full power draw (often using only 120W out of the max 230W). The CPU is a 5600x which does not appear to be bottlenecking, as no threads are getting above %80.

I've noticed other issues in games such as Vermintide 2, which Mangohud claims is running at 100+ FPS but the game feels like it's running at 30-40 while my GPU is not being fully utilised. This makes me think it could be some DE/compositor issue?

I've tried:

• Changing performance profiles (both in LACT, and KDE power settings)
• Ensuring monitor display is set to 144hz
• Ensuring mesa drivers are updated
• Overclocking GPU in LACT

Would greatly appreciate if someone could shed any light on this. I'm about to pull the trigger on getting a 9060xt in the hopes that I'd see a decent performance increase.

Specs:

OS: Fedora 42 (KDE Plasma spin)
Kernel: 6.16.7-200
GPU: Radeon 6750XT
CPU: AMD 5600X
Display: 3 displays, main display is 1440p Ultrawide 144hz

I'm using Pop! OS kernel version 6.16.3-76061603-generic.
Upon launching AOE2, the initial prelaunch logo graphic shows up, but it just hangs there, eventually freezing steam and the rest of my running apps.
I have tried:
checking integrity
reinstalling
updating to latest kernel version
using several different version of proton
ensuring I have the latest drivers.

it worked as of three days ago. Current launch options:
SKIPINTRO (did nothing)

I'm really stumped! Any ideas?

Im just wondering where i can get a good deal on a 2nd hand laptop online in the usa? by budget is under 300 dollars if possible. I also need a laptop suggestion sense im really bad at figuring out what i want or what to look for and what to stay away from?

I need something with a gpu, i dont care how old, but its got to run some modern linux distro of sorts and be used for everyday tasks. Right now i have a older thinkpad but it has no gpu only intel intergraded graphics so as you can guess i need something better.

Im not sure if this belongs here or if there's a better place to post at?

Contexto: me he descargado Linux mint versión 22.2 por lo q Windows 10 va a dejar el soporte, hice todo el procesos sobre instalar lutris, vulkan, entre otros. Y el problema son esas texturas negras parpadeante en los coches y la bicicleta como pueden ver la ultima imagen

El problema es, q me he instalado Linux mint versión 22.2 por el problema de q Windows 10 dejara el soporte, y me he instalado lutris para ejecutar GTA SA obviamente me lo he descargado en media fire, he intentado varias formas cómo instalar el vulkan, skygfx, silent patch, entre otras y todavía el problema persiste, ves ahí el color negro, son lo párpadeos al igual q la bici parpadea el color negro de la ultima foto, eso puede deberse a un problema de textura, el Windows 10 nunca me dió esos problemas, ya q ha instalar mi linux mint es la primera vez q la uso.

cuando lo descargue por mediafire y ejecute en lutris (es una app q parecía como steam) al principio luego se pone como la rpimera foto antes de meterle cuál quier vainas como fast limit, skygfx y silent patch. y cuando descarge y le metí dos vainas de fast limit y silent patch pa q vaya normal y todavía seguía así y por último descargue skygfx es una vaina q tiene archivo de filtro osea una edición play2, xbox y Mobile. Agarre el de play2 y se puso el como la ultima imagen q publique y me agarró normal sin nada de rayitos q salía eso de la nada (aunque a veces sale esos rayisto de la nada un poco cuando sale a hacer destrucciónes) y ahora lo último es los problemas de textura esas parpadeante de color negro, después de ese problema, me agarro un pensamiento q como se veía dentro de bar de la bebidas, adivina.....salias esos rayos de la nada jajaj no puede ser🥲

otra duda para los q se pregunta, tengo una lapto de lenovo thinkpad q nacio de 2014 (nose q generacion es) un intel inside core i7 vPro y 8gb de ram, saludos desde venezuela.

Hello, haven't been on steam for a week, does scale text/icons no longer work because of the new Ui scale option on steam settings? because I had the scale text/icons enabled on interface, but that no longer works even If disable and enable it.

I have a Linux desktop with Heroic launcher, but with a very limited connection at home.

I have a Windows laptop, and here's my idea:

1. Take laptop to a place with a good connection
2. Install a Windows game via GOG on the laptop
3. Copy the game to Linux when I get home
4. Use Heroic to import it and launch it

Or does Heroic do some critical magic during the install process to make running it possible?

I want to somehow get some heavy Windows games (50+ GB) onto my main gaming box using the tools I have...and I wonder if this would work, or if r/linux_gaming community has any ideas.

Thank you in advance

Im relatively new to Linux. My partner wanted me to switch over from Windows, so I did some months ago.

I've been playing heavy modded fallout 4 and everything has been fine, except for a few days ago.

Im using steam tinker launch on Pop! OS, and when launching fo4 you have several options; "steam tinker launch", "don't ask me again" "exit".

Clicking "don't ask me again" closes out the pop-up windows to get into steam tinker launch and then from there it won't open again. I accidentally clicked that a few days back and found a guide on how to fix it (it was simple as deleting a config file and letting it re-generate next time you open the game). However, now that I can play the game again there's absolutely no sound and tbh i have no idea how to fix it.

I've tried; Launching with different options Validating files Making sure sound was on for my headset/system

Nothing seems to work. Hopefully someone here has had a similar issue and managed to fix it?

(Fwiw I've also tried installing mod organizer 2 and launching through steam. That works but I still get the no sound issue)
