Hi everyone. Since this is the first Sony game with fully mandatory PSN requirements, I was wondering for anyone who has the game and a Steam Deck if you could check if it will even run on the Deck. The reason for this is because I want to know how Sony will be handling the PSN requirement for future Sony games. If it's anything like Tsushima, then it will still be playable except for the multiplayer. If it's more restrictive than that, like not even allowing the game to run without a PSN account, then it will have greater implications about how God of War Ragnarok, Until Dawn, and future Sony games will run on the Steam Deck and Linux or if they will run at all. I know it's fun to dab on Concord at the moment, but if it doesn't work on Steam Deck then future Sony games may not be allowed to run on Deck or Linux at all.

first time using a system with iGPU in a long time because apparently AMD CPUs have those now. installed Steam on a fresh Ubuntu install and the GUI wouldn't launch from the icon, but it would from the terminal. OK. I found a solution from 2 years ago where you change PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true to false in /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop. it launches now, but I noticed that every single application when right-clicked shows a "Launch using Discrete Graphics Card" option in the menu. WHY would I not want every single application to do that? is Linux going to try using my iGPU for everything? Googling shows endless results for people having to use hack-y workarounds to make games use their dGPU, sometimes with no solution. is that just the state of iGPUs on Linux currently?

Please do not install Nvidia 560 on Ubuntu 22.40

The short of it, it's that when installing the package which needs local compilation (nvidia-dkms-560), it'll try to compile local files with a flag -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero which is not supported on the default gcc/cc that comes with 22.04.

Fall back to installing nvidia-driver-555 and let's wait for Ubuntu team to fix the Makefile removing such flag (or finding an alternative).

Or is it even possible to do so? In the official GitHub repo, there are Options for NixOS, Fedora and Gentoo
But not for Debian/Ubuntu based distros.

Is it necessary to port the kernel first, or is it not possible at all? I know there are alternatives like TKG and Zen, but personally i liked Cachy the most.

Would appreciate the help

Hello,

When playing Tekken 8 on steam I haven't be able to connect to other players, as well as having some bad loading times getting into the game and switching through the menus. If launch it while offline the loading times are not there and when connected to a VPN I can connect to other players and not have those long loading times. This only happens when I am using Arch or any of its derivatives(Endeavour, Cachy, and etc). However when I use Fedora or any of its derivatives(Bazzite) it works out of the box. I really want to keep my current setup as is and not switch to Fedora and of course not play with at least 100ms when connected to a VPN.

So far I have tried to edit the /etc/hosts file as described in this github issue https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7444. I have tried all the variations of the /etc/hosts file found in the issue. I also tried to launch Tekken 8 with these launch options that I found on protondb: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 HOST_LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 %command%. I used a couple different proton versions (Proton Experimental, Proton 9.0-2, Proton Hotfix, Proton GE-9.11). As well as enabling and starting the systemd-resolved service as this comment mentions it a bit https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7444#issuecomment-2072681615. Running steam from the terminal didn't give me anything as when Tekken when was running.

I searched through everything possible I can find from reddit posts, steam community posts, and more. I am really not a networking expert so from here I am lost on what else to try out. I don't know what could be causing this as compared to Fedora. Please let me know if you have any ideas or need any more information.

Proton Log: https://pastebin.com/gKVPkvAp

System:

OS: CachyOS Linux x86_64

Hi,
Im trying to enter SHiFT codes to redeem golden keys in Borderlands 2, however the menu comes up with:
Please Wait for the connection process to complete before accessing the Gearbox Software Shift menu.
Ive attempted to symlink the ssl directories, as suggested by other posts, tried Proton version 7, and nothing seems to work.

Any advice on this would be highly appreciated.

I have a Power Color Fighter rx 7600 8gb gpu and it has a max tdp power limit of 165W with a max clock of 2250MHz and a boost clock of 2655MHz. On windows those values are recognized fine, but on linux I know it can be a tad funky. In CoreCtrl the GPU has a power limit of 130 instead of 165 and I can only raise it to 145. While the GPU clock can go all the way up to 2250MHz already (I'm fine without it) What I'm trying to do is raise the power limit above 145 or downclock it so it doesn't crash from lack of power or get too hot for the cooling fans to handle. I know messing with gpu clock and power can be risky in general so I wanna make sure I do things right.

I recently moved from Windows 10 to Linux fully expecting that Logitech GHUB wasn't in Linux and so opting for other open-source applications to control my devices. I managed to get everything set up but my suround sound for my G733 headphones, I've looked for available solutions such as importing profiles for PulseEffects but nothing really worked. Is there even any way to enable this feature?

By the end of this guide, with the press of a hotkey you will be able to recapture up to 20min of gameplay efficiently (doesn't throttle GPU performance) and you won't have to manually open a program or run a command every single time you log in. This should also work on Nvidia, AMD and Intel GPUs, although I've only tested it on my AMD RX 7800 XT.

1) Install GPU Screen Recorder: flatpak install flathub com.dec05eba.gpu_screen_recorder

2) Now it's probably a good idea to make sure replay works manually. Open GPU Screen Recorder, click "Replay->", click "Start replay", and then "Save replay". (Bear in mind, settings you change now won't have an effect on the final product) If it works fine, carry on. If not, make sure you have installed all the dependencies from the "Dependencies" section at https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/ (I had to install libva-mesa-driver to get good H264 encoding on my AMD card)

3) Create a script called start-replay.sh with the following: (you can change video_path and replay_length_s (replay length in seconds, can be any number from 5 to 1200 (20 minutes)))

.

#!/bin/sh sleep 5s pidof -q gpu-screen-recorder && exit 1 video_path="$HOME/Videos/Replays" replay_length_s=300 # replay length in seconds (300sec=5min) mkdir -p "$video_path" gpu-screen-recorder -w screen -f 60 -a "`pactl get-default-source`|`pactl get-default-sink`.monitor" -c mp4 -r $replay_length_s -o "$video_path"

4) Set the script to be executable and then add the script to your DE's autostart (on KDE it's Settings/Autostart/+Add/Add login script)

5) Create another script called save-replay.sh with the following:

#!/bin/sh -e killall -SIGUSR1 gpu-screen-recorder && sleep 0.5 && notify-send --icon=com.dec05eba.gpu_screen_recorder -u low -- "GPU Screen Recorder" "Replay saved"

6) Set the script to run with a hotkey (On KDE, Settings/Keyboard/Shortcuts/+Add New/Command or Script). I personally made it Win+F1

(you can also try just setting the command to run directly from the hotkey instead of making it run from a script file but I like to make it a file in case I switch computers or lose my KDE configuration or something)

7) Log out and back in again (or reboot)

8) Now you can press the hotkey (Win+F1, or whatever you set it to) to replay the last 300 seconds (by default) of whatever just happened and save the video to $HOME/Videos/Replays.

If you want to change the settings, you can change the variables and parameters on the start-replay.sh script and then log out or reboot again.

Feel free to leave any comments for suggestions or issues you might have.

Hi everyone.

I have a steamdeck that I absolutely love. I especially love steamos and linux, so, when I built a minipc to stay in my living room as sort of a home console, I installed bazzite. Recenlty I got a new laptop and installed Aurora on it, which is a linux distro using Universal Blue like bazzite (Fedora 40). The only computer I have that hasn't switched to linux yet is my gaming PC, the one that I use most often. Here are the specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3800

RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 2x32gb 5600mhz

MOBO: GIGABYTE B650 AERO G

I've heard some NVIDIA GPU's can be weird on certain distros so I just want to make sure that my system's performance will not dip significantly when switching to Linux

Should I switch? If so, what do you think the best distro is for me? (I use my PC for everything, web browsing, gaming, school work, work from home office work)

What are the pros and cons of these two distributions for gaming?

I have some experience with Linux (mainly with Ubuntu and its spinoffs), but I have never used an openSUSE or Fedora based distro, and I have never used a rolling or atomic distro for a significant amount of time either. I'm also new to gaming on Linux.

Running GTA Online on Linux results in FPS drops. On Windows it was stable 75 and now it drops up to 40. Changing graphics doesn't change anything, lags the same both on lowest and max settings. My GTA is from epic games and I'm running it with Heroic with Proton Experimental, also tried 9 and 8. Is there something I could do to improve the performance?
