While I am playing a game and have Firefox running in the background I listen to podcasts. There is an audible popping sound and need to know how to fix it. I searched online for fixes to try and solve the issue and now I am stuck.

Using Cachy OS

So, I have this old HP G7 laptop with an old from 2012 AMD APU

On windows it's dogpile slow, but at least it ran some old games even GTA SA...

Now on linux it's faster to use, even youtube is better, but any game is slow AF, even Doom 1993 runs like 7-8 fps only!!

Any help??
on radeontop, youtube uses like 20-30%
when I open Doom or other old games even some new light games like HappyHills Homicide, it is zero or close to it... not using the igpu...

Any fix for it? I know it's old, I have a good PC but this one is a backup to use...

I'm hoping this expands use of SteamOS!

Hello people. I wanted to ask you a question, what distro do you use to stream or play video games? I currently use dual boot with Pop os but when I want to record a video game the recording does not work well. I leave you a sample image. In the middle of the arrows, You see a line as if it divides the screen. It happens to me with all the games and it records whenever I want. Does the same happen to anyone?

My journey so far is brief. I'm on Linux for almost a year and just a couple of weeks ago, maybe months, I started to venture into gaming around here.

I had issues. Many issues. I thought that by installing Lutris or Steam, for example, they would install all of the dependencies needed. They don't.

For example:
I had an issue where a game would launch with a black screen. I had sound, I would interact with the menu but couldn't see anything. It turns out I needed to do (Game: Jump King)

winetricks dxvk winetricks vkd3d

I had another issue, this time with Red Dead Redemption 2 where the game wouldn't launch. It turns out I had to: (or was it cyberpunk? I don't remember. Too many struggles to remember, lol) (or the game just runs like butt cheeks. It was the case for Cyberpunk. It ran WAY better once I installed the package below)

sudo pacman -S vkd3d

And just yesterday with The Last of Us. The game would not launch. I downloaded two versions to make sure (same with Red Dead. I even downloaded a version that was supposed to be for linux and it did not work). It turns out I had to:

winetricks vcrun2022

Context given, my questions are:

• Why doesn't the dependencies needed are installed when you install Steam/Lutris, for example?
• How to troubleshoot when a game doesn't work? I know, the logs, but beyond that.
• Within the winetricks, how am I supposed to know what I need amongst those hundreds of things?

Some extra clarifications:

1. The results prior to the fixes found were true regardless of the prefix used or wine version, proton, etc. Although I mostly use wine. I just use proton when something doesn't work with wine.
2. I was able to find these fixes, often by accident. Either searching for questions on Reddit or really by accident while just browsing Reddit. Not the logs. Maybe I don't know how to read logs? I don't know.
3. I looked at proton db to see if there was instructions there. Some clue... I didn't find.

It always annoyed me, when using a Service like ShadowPC, that I couldn't alt+tab inside of the VM without tabbing around in ubuntu - or randomly getting the "This program doesn't respond"-Window, even though everything worked fine.

So I created a little tool, which works (currently only for Ubuntu and Gnome, or maybe anything and Gnome? I have only tested it on my system) called the Ubuntu Gaming Buddy:

https://github.com/MichaelPoutanen/UbuntuGamingBuddy
(There is a .AppImage there under releases)

Its basically a wrapper around a few scripts that disable some shortcuts (like alt+tab) while "gaming" mode is active and resets them to default after being done, which allows alt+tab and similar to be caught inside of the VM instead of your current OS yourself.

Warning: If you use non-default keybinds it would reset them to default after toggling gaming mode off, I will create the next version with that in mind, so it will store your keybinds and restore to exactly them.

So, why an annoying GUI? Because I haven't done anything with Avalonia in a long time and I really wanted to write a GUI application again. I also have some more ideas to add to this, but if anybody here has some ideas I'd be happy to hear them :)
(Plus you can just use the Tray icon, if you dont want to click the buttons)

To preface, I have driven Linux (specifically Bazzite) daily before, but felt the need to switch off due to a few reasons, and wanting to use the fancy vibration of my Dualsense is among them. I have seen that Proton Experimental has mostly made Haptic Feedback function identically to Windows. However, a slightly newer post talks about trying to get it working with Insomniac Spider-Man, and failing. So, to the Dualsense owners in the subreddit - how functional is Haptic Feedback actually, at this point in time?

The game just freezes and stops responding. The laptop itself keeps working just fine.
The game usually runs smoothly without even getting the machine warm.
Sometimes it even freezes on the login screen.

I'm like, a noob in this matter to fix it myself, and just googling the problem didn't help (stuff is either outdated or looked too convoluted for me to even try it).

This is the list of what I've been randomly throwing at the wall or I think might be useful to know:
* I run minimal settings, all fancy nvdia stuff and v-sync is turned off.
* Switching back and forth between DirectX 11 and 12 didn't help.
* My current GPU is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile with nvidia-driver-580-open drivers.
* I'm using Proton Hotfix.
* Switching screen resolutions and from borderless to full screen didn't help.

My neofetch:

When steam release their new console/PC, I am sure they know it will be used much more for competitive multiplayer games than the steam deck, its a kind of the Crux all consoles land on. Once they announced the steam machine, two of my mates text me who wanted to get one, they have never had a PC only ps5.

I told them to hold out as they are pretty hardcore multiplayer lads, they play the likes of fortnite, fc25, battlefield etc.

But with Steam deck these games don't hold as much value or have as big of an audience, but when you build that console like experience and release the steam machine, I think the audience starts to shift a bit.

Just wondering if anyone heard anything regarding them addressing this as I told my mates to hold off until it's addressed.

EDIT: I have no idea what I am talking about from a Tech point of view, and I love my Steam Deck and Steam OS to bits, I just noticed my friends have a lot more interest in the Steam Machine because it looks much more console like but they are hardcore in the competitive multiplayer scene. Just wondering if there will be a place for this audience in SteamOS if more and more major titles adopt the Kernel AntiCheat System.

I've wanted to try the game for a while and finally got to download it. I've watched videos and followed the guides for getting it to work, even scoured ProtonDB and reddit forums but the game won't launch at all.

With my specs: Nobara 42 OS, i5-9400, RTX3050, and 16GB Ram, I absolutely do not under any circumstances expect it to run at great performance or quality, but I expect it to at least launch.

(p.s. Yes I need to upgrade my CPU and Ram because yes the bottleneck is real and it's killing me, but I'm poor so I have to make due with what I got).

I got the game on steam and I've used all recent variations of Proton GE and tried old steamos=1 tricks but no dice. Is it still playable or are my specs really that shitty?

Hello there. I managed to buy new GPU and ditch my nvidia card, pretty much ready to switch into Linux on my gaming rig.

First major step would be choosing distro. I am not total rookie when it comes to linux. Been using debian on my personal servers forever running all kinda gameservers, LAMP and other sheningans.

Choises for my distro would be...

- Bazzite
- Arch based like EndevourOS, Garuda etc.
- Just Fedora
- Debian

Elite dangerous, Star citizen, X4 foundations, No Man's sky Satisfactory and Factorio. Those are my 99% most played games. If VR works that is a plus. ( Meta Quest 2 with link cable )
And some other Steam / Epic games that are not that relevant if they run or not.

I also use Discord alot.

My specs would be at this moment:

Amd Ryzen 5 5600x
Amd RX 7800TX 16Gb
32GB DDR4 ram
Windows 11 pro
2TB sata ssd ( Windows )
4TB sata ssd ( Storage )
2TB sata ssd for more storage
2TB nvme ssd for games
2TB nvme ssd for other games

Plan is to upgrade my CPU, mobo and ram next year with fresh set of ssd's. Just 2 x 4TB nvme's to get rig of hardware bloat.

Ultrawide 3440x1440 + 1080p gaming monitors. ( Dual monitor setup. Secondary is for discord, youtube etc I might need while sucking at some games.)
Turtle Beach Stealth 600 gen3 wireless headset.

Help me Obi-wan to choose distro, I don't want to endup distrohoping for eternitey.

ps: I prefer minimalistic desktop. Used alot of Mint Fluxbox edition when it was a thing.
pss: I dont' mind tinkering at all.
