As its description, gamescope is a nested compositor under wayland to “catch” the window in XWayland and port them to Wayland. However, running gamescope on my ub22.04(gnome43.9) still got blurry with the apps under fractional scaling. Seems gamescope is still running under XWayland instead of native wayland.

However, neither gamescope and the app in it appears in xlsclients. This could indicate that it’s running under Wayland natively. But the app still seemed blurry.

Is there a solution for this, thanks a lot. I really confused by the fraction scaling under Wayland in GNOME.

Backstory:
I have a laptop that I use for my day to day usage.

However on my gaming desktop I've been running VFIO to always have Linux running in the background to not have a very powerful computer just go to waste by being turned off most of the time. The main game I'm playing however is PUBG and this has just not been playing nice with any of the settings I've found and about a year or more ago I think they more strictly started detecting VMs.

Then I started dual booting again and now I've just let it be windows only as it's too much of a hassle rebooting and not having Linux and certain services available while gaming.

So if it weren't for PUBG I would be running Linux 24/7 on my gaming rig.

Because of that I'm wondering if there are more people in my situation.
So: Do you keep a windows partition on your gaming computer because of anticheat?

Hey guys, I m trying to install open-source native Linux game. It has a bash script for installation. But I won't be glad if it breaks my system. I'm new in bash scripting, so I want to know:

1) What happens.

2) How to uninstall the app.

Here is the script:

#!/bin/sh IFS_BACK=$IFS IFS=' ' appname=`basename $0 | sed s,\.sh$,,` dirname=`dirname $0` tmp="${dirname#?}" if [ "${dirname%$tmp}" != "/" ]; then dirname="$PWD/$dirname" fi LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$dirname export LD_LIBRARY_PATH $dirname/$appname "$@" IFS=$IFS_BACK submitted by /u/Ok_Lengthiness_6591

Hello everyone,

So the log: https://pastebin.com/BqhsiJsK

I am on Debian 12. Drive has plenty of space. 64gb of Ram. Nvidia Card from hell, with their drivers installed. AMD 3600X processor. The log from this is using Proton Experimental.

Oh and more importantly this is from steam, loading as a steam game.

I do find this error interesting. 97178.286:0134:0138:err:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo couldn't initialize OpenGL, expect problems

But I am new to all this. I have attempted to use different versions of proton and they crap out as well.

Valve's work with Proton to run Windows games on Linux / Steam Deck is amazing, but they do require you have newer GPUs so some have been a bit left behind. Proton-Sarek aims to fix that.

Whenever I try to play gmod on arch the game would be running fine and then all of a sudden freeze. I tried using the x86-64 bit version with the GModCEFCodecFix and the game ran perfectly fine in singleplayer with no issues at all but when I tried to join my friend's game the game would just instantly close when I was about to load in. The steam overlay also doesn't work when using the 64bit version even though I have it enabled. I've tried switching between proton versions and such and nothing really seems to work. Im not sure what causes this and my laptop which runs linux mint runs the native version of gmod with no issues at all.

Could anybody with a vive-like headset be so kind and confirm for me that if you save a chaperone profile in Windows, you can switch to Linux and open the same profile there? ... And it is all turned the right way inside the headset then?

This is the final thing that locks me to windows and I don't want to shuffle my whole file system again, only to try this specific thing and it doesn't work in the end. Reason being, for me and my Vive pro, the sound wasn't working properly (but there seem to be fixes for that) and the room setup craps out because of the compositor. But using OVR adv would be like a 2 click solution...

Hi, everyone. So I followed the instructions in this topic to make my 8BitDo Controller recognized as an Xbox controller by my Linux Mint PC to use with emulators: https://gist.github.com/ammuench/0dcf14faf4e3b000020992612a2711e2

This had been working perfectly. Dolphin, mGBA and Rosalie's Mupen Gui had used my 8BitDo Controller just fine weeks ago. Now today, none of these emulators will even recognize the controller when it is bluetooth-connected to the PC. I cannot even map its buttons. According to the emulators, there is no controller.

Would someone please help me to reverse the changes that the Github page created in my system? I think I should work from scratch and reverse the changes to then try to get my controller working. T

And if you can provide any guidance on getting my 8BitDo Controller working again, I would be extremely appreciative. Weirdly enough, my Xbox Controller does not work with the emulators either. They refuse to recognize it to map buttons as well. Thank you in advance.

So I updated Linux Mint to 22, booted up Dishonored and started getting this weird behavior that it's like my right stick is being pulled up time to time. I thought it might be the touchpad, I turned it off, the problem persisted, so I launched the second game, same story. I connected the gamepad to playstation, it's working fine, so clearly it's not the stick drift

Steam downloads updates in the range of 1.2 to 1.8 GB for Satisfactory, Deadlock, and FFXIV every time I start my machine. I'm guessing this is some kind of shader thing, but I'm not sure. They aren't required updates, as I'm able to pause or cancel them and still play each of those games.

I'm running EndeavourOS. I'm hoping this is a known issue with a straightforward fix, but if not I'm happy to provide detailed system info.

As the title states...
I have a 7900XTX running on Bazzite.
I have absolutely zero issues with it, but I'm wondering if there is a way to see the GPU core temp.

I'm already using CoolerControl, and I have LACT. Everything is working, but there is only Edge, Junction, & Memory temps, unlike say HWInfo or Adrenalin which shows all of that plus core temp. Sensor-Detect doesn't show anything extra.

I don't exactly need it, but I'd like access to all my metrics if possible.
Is this just something missing from the driver?

So I recently learned about Heroic Launcher on this very sub and when I tried it on an old test rig made of 2017 era hardware, it worked great. However, on my actual gaming rig, I seem to be having a strange problem.

My operating system (Mint 21.3) is on a separate drive from my games. The game drive is about half of a 4TB NVMe drive that is shared with Windows. I have it mounted on boot to ~/Games. It works fine in Steam. I added it as a Library and set it to default and games install there under the path ~/Games.

Not so Heroic Launcher. When I try to set the default install location and browse to ~/Games and select it, the path that actually appears is /run/user/1000/doc/ce1b91e7/Games and when I attempt to install a game to this location, it says the drive may not be writable.

Manually typing /home/<user>/Games/Heroic into the settings results in the game going....nowhere? And being unplayable and uninstallable. I had to uninstall Heroic and manually delete the ~/.var/ files associated to make the game finally appear not installed.

The games drive in my older test rig is a 2TB HDD dedicated entirely to the Linux install for games. It is not shared as the test rig is not dual booted as my main rig is and is also configured similarly to that in my main rig to mount on boot to ~/Games. I had considered the issue might have something to do with Heroic being a flatpak, but that's not the problem because flatpak is the only option available to install without downloading a .deb and it's a flatpak on the test rig as well and it works fine.

Does anyone know why I might be having a problem setting this drive as an install location in Heroic Launcher?

EDIT: So I have another, smaller SSD that I also have a few games on. It is also dedicated to the Linux install for games but it is only a 250GB SATA SSD, also mounted on boot to ~/GamesToo. This also works perfectly in Heroic Launcher, though I must add that browsing to it in the settings yields a similar path to the larger drive, so I guess that's not an issue. It is weird though that it defaults to the normal path ~/GamesToo and not the /run/user... path. Is the problem somehow that the drive is partitioned? That would be a strange problem indeed, as it has no adverse effect on anything else in the system. Does Heroic Launcher need to be given permission somehow to write to this NVMe drive?

EDIT #2: Lutris does not seem to have this problem with this drive. It seems to be specific to Heroic Launcher. I don't understand why this is happening and honestly, Heroic Launcher is easier to use and would rather be using that for my GoG games. Does anyone have any ideas?
