So probably i will buy soon a gaming laptop hp victus 15 with amd ryzen 5 or 7 and rtx 4050 and probably 1000gb. I really want to use nobara or fedora on it mainly tp play games and code. I want to use windows only for playing games i can't on linux (like cs2 faceit, valorant, lol, pubg etc.), so i will give it a little less storage. The thing im scared about the most is windows yeeting the grub loader as then i cant boot into my main os and some people say they cant even boot up windows. T will be my first time installing linux on a real machine and not a vm so i really dont wanna mess this up. If i could just disable the windows updates and freeze it and only try when a bigger feature comes, that would be great and also tell me what should i do i grub disapears and i cant load to linux or maybe even windows.

I have a 2560x1440 monitor, however some Valve games do not have my native resolution as an option (Counter Strike, Left 4 Dead). Highest available is the 2048x1152. Also suddenly there is no fullscreen option after the recent update? Setting%command% -w 2560 -h 1440 -fullscreen does nothing.

Man, I wish Valve would just enable VAC for Proton, I'm tired of all of that tinkering with their "native" titles.

I know how to play the game with playsets, all mods are installed correctly. But whenever I launch the game, it just starts regular old Ck3, EU4 etc…

Hi!

So I've been running into this weird problem lately. My teammates can't hear me in game (which is also evidenced by the little speaker icon appappearing, but not moving when I talk). However, when I go to either the steam microphone setting's test or CS2's "hear my own voice" option in the voice settings, I can hear myself perfectly fine.

I'm using a Scarlett solo v3 as an interface, which I guess might be part of the problem, but I honestly have no clue.

Few days ago I installed Pop!Os on my Laptop. Until now I like it - I still need to explore but I'm considering to install it to my gaming pc. Heard you can basically play every game except games with BattleEye/EasyAntiCheat - is it still that devs have to allow linux clients? If so is there a way to bypass that or do I have to make compromises? And how is it with CS2/ VAC in general?

thankful for any answers

Very new to Linux as I started in January, I can play pretty much any game however PoE both version will not open from being minimized. The game opens and launches but if the game is in full screen it doesn't allow me to alt tab or alt+enter and when I do it force minimizes I've tried. I'm currently running GE Proton 10.10 I've tried swapping to 10.14 as someone in the PoE community said it runs well. I've tried changing the SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS within the .profile. Not sure if that's needed but it did not fix the issue.

Needing help troubleshooting the issue I've tried as much as I can but hard to find anything on this issue. Thanks

My notebook is a Dell G1 5530 (RTX 3050), I'm using a certified 2.1 HDMI from Ugreen and my monitor is the LG Ultragear 180hz 24".

I tried Pop!_OS, Bluefin OS and Linux Mint.

Only Linux Mint handled the 180hz without zero issues, but I really want to use Pop!_OS (and try Bazzite on the future). So anyone can help me with that issue?

If you ever wanted to install Steam games on an external SSD drive, there's high chance that it stops working while Reserving Space and shows error: Disk Write Error
There's a very simple solution for it. If you encounter this problem, you are using Flatpack version, install System Package version instead and the problem is solved.

We are living in some seriously strange times. Industries are shifting, politics are unstable, and video games are getting caught in the middle of it. This isn't just about fun anymore, this is a full on battleground driven by greed, politics, and social control

Right now, everyone wants control over video games. You’ve got politicians blaming us for violence, activist groups trying to censor art, and corporations weaponizing patents to suppress competition.These groups don't agree on anything except one major piece of BS, that games don’t actually belong to you, the player. Here is a breakdown of the three major fronts trying to seize control

The corporate patent blitz, locking down basic mechanics

The big AAA studios are feeling that sweet, sweet anxiety. They are out of touch, talent starved, and bleeding customers to leaner studios. Instead of fixing their broken launches, lowering prices, or listening to players, these companies are just reaching for their greedier tools like lawsuits and patents. They are not making better games, they are building higher walls

Nintendo fires the opening shot

The most recent and honestly, most insulting, move comes from Nintendo. They are attempting to patent fundamental mechanics

• The patent BS,patent 397: This patent poses a fundamental threat to creativity and innovation across the entire industry.It covers the core mechanic of summoning a character and letting it fight another

• The details: The patent describes steps like moving a character in a virtual space, summoning a "sub character"(like a little monster), and then letting an auto battle ensue with another character

Wait, that's everything! This mechanic has been around for decades in countless RPGs like Final Fantasy, Shin Megami Tensei, and Path of Exile. While prior use should crush this in court, that’s not the point

The chilling effect (Palworld vs. Pokémon)

Nintendo never bothered with small, niche games like Temtem. But Palworld is different. That game hit 15 million sales and 25 million players in one month.That's Pokémon territory

• Suppression is the goal: Most studios won't risk burning years or millions fighting Nintendo’s legal team. They will simply avoid the mechanic entirely. This creates a "chilling effect“ across the industry, resulting in fewer creature collectors and fewer experiments in design

• The cartel: If Nintendo gets away with patenting summoning mechanics, this will become the new standard. Every AAA publisher will follow suit: Xbox patenting cover mechanics, Blizzard patenting skill trees, or Ubisoft patenting traversal mechanics

• The industry will be rigged: These patents aren't about innovation, they are about building a walled garden where giants leave themselves alone and then weaponize the law against anyone trying to climb the fence.The industry stops competing with creativity and starts competing with lawyers. This totally sucks for us

Political scapegoating and moral control

While corporations are trying to rig the business side, external forces are trying to take control of what we play

The violence myth is back from the dead

Anytime there is a national tragedy, especially involving young people, video games are the first scapegoat

• The latest BS: US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently cited video games as a possible cause for real world gun violence, grouping them with psychiatric drugs and social media

• The reality vs. The headlines: This claim has been studied, tested, and debunked for decades.A comprehensive Oxford University study found "no link whatsoever“ between violent video games and adolescent aggression

• The grift: Politicians ignore vetted research and rely on cherry-picked studies to support their narrative. They want the optics and the headlines, not the truth

Moral crusaders are pushing censorship

Activist groups, like Collective Shout, use the exact same playbook. They campaign to remove adult games from platforms like Steam because they believe they are the root of misogyny and real-world crimes

• Control for control's sake: They blame games for societal problems they don't understand, then use that outrage as justification to censor, restrict, and control what others can play

The scariest part? These people are writing the rules from a place of "total detachment“. They don't understand the culture or the communities, they just see games as an abstract threat that needs to be managed

The silver lining: Resistance and community lifelines

It feels like a lot of bad news, but there’s a silver lining. Every single time they try to crack down, all they do is drive players and developers to adapt

• Indies are saving us: Indie titles like Palworld, Helldivers 2, and Enshrouded have dominated because they offer something AAA often fails to deliver. Relief, lower prices, lower commitment, and focus

• Our communities are lifelines: The places that feel like home Guilds, Discord servers, and Reddit forums are lifelines for millions, offering connection in a world that feels increasingly isolated. When outsiders come crashing into these spaces, they don't fix problems they just make them worse

• We thrive on resistance: Creativity has always been forged in adversity. The games industry has survived moral panics, regulation scares, bankruptcies, and monopolies. We will survive this, but we have to understand what we're up against. The patent war is coming

Desperate AAA corporations are using legal lawfare to suppress competitors like Palworld and rig the market, rather than innovate. Simultaneously, politicians are reviving old, debunked claims to gain political control. They all share one goal to strip away our independence and control the medium

🖖

Hello! I am looking to create a "Switch to Console Experience" on my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed system.

I am trying to create a systemd service that listens for a specific controller combo and triggers:

1. Switching to TTY3
2. Launching Steam -gamepadui (BigPicture) with gamescope
3. Still listening for another controller combo to terimnate gamescope window and switch back to TTY2

I am able to launch it manually by switching, and I have configured the controller combos to start systemd services. The hard part is automating switching to TTY3 (chvt requires root) and launching gamemode with my user (I do not want to run gamemode and steam as root)

Has anyone tried this setup before or something similar?

There's an issue that seems to be coming from the latest systemd update that affects controllers on steam. You will get controller recognition and be able to map buttons and see inputs in settings and everywhere else, but not in-game.

The current workaround is to run sudo chmod 666 /dev/uinput but you need to re-run this after every boot.

Use at your own risk.
