Open GL Shared Contexts not supported error in CEMU and torzu
I am experiencing the aforementioned issue when I use torzu or cemu with the latest nvidia gpu driver on arch. It doesn't happen if I roll back to the nvidia 535 driver, but I don't really wanna haveta do that.
I cant use vulkan, with torzu anyway, as apparently its a known issue that some games will crash if you do, and the game im tryna play is onna those games.
Here are my specs:
Operating System: Arch Linux 39.0
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1
Kernel Version: 6.12.6-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
Memory: 62.7 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER/PCIe/SSE2
Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Product Name: B450M DS3H
And I literally just updated my system today too.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue>
Thanks in advance! 🩷

significantly less fps on minecraft in linux compared to windows.
i have the gtx 1660 ti notebook nobara 41 gnome version. i use prismlauncher with discrete gpu. without shaders i tend to average around 500 on windows with my modpack, while i am averaging 250 more or less on linux. i play with shader packs most of the time so that's why this fps matters. if anyone has any idea as to why or how to fix this it would be very helpful. i am on the correct iso of nobara and with the correct drivers.
i've also tried pop os with the same issue

Elden Ring Photo and Ultrawide Modding
Hey so I’m new to gaming on Linux, but I am coming with quite a bit of tinking experience for gaming on the steam deck and modding through desktop mode.
I’m trying to play Elden Ring with a few mods:
Otis_Inf photo mod Increase Animation Distance Unlock FPS Skip Intro Disable Rune Loss
I might’ve missed one above, but those are the main ones. Otis mod doesn’t have official Linux support but I’ve found people have been able to get it to work.
I can get mod loader to work as well as modengine2. However, I can’t get any of the above to activate.
Main feature I’m looking for with the Otis mod (other than photo mode) is ultrawide support.
I’m also a bit shaky in my understanding of launch options in steam, but from what I can gather the order doesn’t necessarily matter excited for putting “WINEDLLOVVERRIDES” at the beginning. I’ve tried variations of the above guide with the launch options that work for steam deck (@echo start …./launchmod_eldenring.bat).
Any thoughts on how I can get this running how I want? If Otis gui can launch too that’d be perfect! But I know that may be a pipe dream.

New Map Editor!New Map Editor features include:
- draggable selections
- draggable actors

Question about a network card
I have an AM5 mobo with an external wifi antenna. I have some inconsistent connectivity, it “hiccups” probably once an hour or so. I can’t really wire in through Ethernet.
I’m wondering if the connectivity issue is due to hardware or not, would it be worth getting a dedicated wifi card?
I’m running the non-cosmic Pop!_OS. Also any recommendations on diagnostic tools for this would be greatly appreciated. I still haven’t been able to figure out if it’s a router issue or a computer issue, my other devices don’t have this problem.

Input not supported on Steam
Hi all, am having issues running bg3 on steam. Worked fine on GOG but once I bought a legit copy on steam my monitor says "input not supported." I'm running Mint, with a Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti GPU, and AOC monitor. Using xorg, and have no interest in switching distros. I've tried changing grub settings and forcing bg3 to run in my screen resolution (1920x1080) with no luck. Haven't been able to find this exact issue anywhere online. If anyone has any suggestions or can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

What is Bazzite using/doing to optimize for gaming?
I always wondered what bazzite means they adjuste CPU scheduler and optimuzed for gaming i wonder what that means? Did they just recompiled kernel with some options? Added some flags to /sys/proc? What exactly did they did to optimize it? My curiosity comes from that i have been using gentoo for years i love portage, and i recently started to use it for games and i leave the ease of use with portsge to indtall vulkan and easy driver managment, but i was curious how would bazzite offer more performance? Could i apply it to my system without reinstalling? I looked around in their wiki couldnt find much. Thank you for your answer

Error with Proton (also empty folder)
Hi there.
I'm using Bazzite and I play Steam games on a separate Btrfs partition.
I don't know why, but all of a sudden the games can't be launched anymore since I get a generic error with the compatibility tool.
I went to check the Steam folder and I see that, for unknown reasons, the Proton folder is empty. I've tried to use ProtonUp and inject ProtonGE, but works just the same.
I've tried to reinstall a game, nothing again.
I've tried to erase the Proton, compatdata and shadercache folders, but the proton folder only gets created (empty).
If I check the installed games/apps via Steam settings, I see that Proton Experimental is there, but Steam won't let me remove it (I was hoping that, after removing it, Steam would re-download everything).
I even tried with Steam flatpak and an OS reinstallation. Should I format the whole gaming partition and all the Steam folders at this point?

Liquid Gallium/Rubidium compound turns Lenovoa Thinkpad P17 gen1 into 2160p vulkan gaming computer
On Fedora 41 on Gnome in performance mode I was getting 100 degrees celcius regularly playing War Thunder on Vulkan. So this liquid metal compound has now lowered my temps down 20 degrees/avg. into manageable where I can use this i9 10885h quadro rtx 3000 laptop. I know putting a 5.3Ghz boost 8 core - 16 core with hyper threading was not an easy feat. It really needs the upgrade to be manageable on Linux. It now tops out at 94 degrees celcius and averages 90 in game and 80 in hangar. I'm getting 90fps most the time and sometimes it goes down to 60fps, but I have been using an auxiliary 1ms 144hz 2160p monitor. The 2160p screen native with laptop is faster because there is only hdmi2 output here so it costs to use auxiliary monitor, but is still usable. W/O gallium rubidium liquid metal compound it is not as usable and deff. would end up frying the chips.
But the good news is this is way better than MS. We are talking 55 fps versus 90 fps ~ 75fps. I was using vulkan on MS as well. On Linux Fedora 41 Gnome the processor just runs hotter on performance mode. So liquid metal compound is deff. necc. to make this work. You have to use Gnome. KDE Plasma won't run this fast.

(God of War Ragnarok) Unlink PSN
Hey everyone, I've been running around like a headless chicken trying to figure out how to unlink my PSN account. It got linked because I was logged into another PS game (Miles Morales). I mostly play exclusively on my Steam Deck and would really appreciate some help with this. Maybe I’m just missing something obvious, but I’d still like some guidance.
I'm asking because now I can’t open the game without an Internet connection every single time, and that Steam command doesn’t seem to work for me.

RTS with cross-platform multiplayer?
I'm looking for a good RTS to play online (or LAN, using Tailscale or something) with friends that use Windows. I don't mind if it needs Wine/Proton to run.
I was thinking old stuff like AoE, but whatever comes to mind, let me know!
Thanks in advance

Having issues getting a specialised Switch controller to work with games ran through Proton
I am having issues with using the Zuiki Mascon Switch controller with the game Train Crew, which I run through Proton. The controller is intended for use with train simulators, and sends the same data to the computer as a Switch Pro controller - details here.
The primary issue is that while the controller does not have a right stick, Proton seems to interpret this as the stick being permanently stuck to the left. There is a thread on the Steam forums that mentions this issue. However, I tried running the .reg file provided but all it did was disable the controller entirely.
Does anyone have any knowledge that could help here?

Can't get cursor to stay in the window of Arma 3
I've checked ProtonDB and this seem to be a common issue with dual monitors. I've tried the --force-grab-cursor without success. Gamescope (which I've never used before) only opens a black window about 1/3 of the screen. Of course I've also tried full-screen and windowed mode without results. Any ideas?
I'm on Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon with a NVIDIA GTX 1070 8Gb using 550.120 drivers, if that matters.
Thanks in advance!
