Battlefield 4 - I am being bullied by the EA app
Hello. Am on archlinux, KDE with wayland, using `linux` kernel, Ryzen 5 3600X with a 5700XT GPU.
I own Battlefield 4 on Steam and tried running it with proton 9, experimental, hotfix and the 10.1 beta (experimental was the one I used when the game was working before).
I used to be able to run the game just fine, say for the EA app seldom complaining about its internet connection, though that never stopped me from actually playing the game. However, I recently reinstalled and then was away from the rig for a week or two and now I get the 'Servers took too long to do their server things, check your internet connection' (ew, who wrote this) error message from the EA app upon trying to launch the game.
Through wireshark, I found out that it is trying to resolve `confluence.ea.com`, which does not appear to exist anymore. I also tried just blackholing that address to localhost but predictably that did not fix the issue. I also tried reinstalling the game, removing the steam prefix (that made the game not launch at all I believe) and fresh installling the game to an entirely different drive just to avoid any older files causing issues.
Could somebody help me troubleshoot this please? Thanks in advance

Is lossless scaling working good on Linux?
Is it worth 7 dollars? I wonder if it works as great on Linux as on Windows and what kind of features are unavailable on Linux.

Ubuntu kernel with OSS and ntsync
Default Ubuntu kernel does not include OSS emulation (Open Sound System), you can read about it more on https://onthim.blogspot.com/2015/02/get-open-sound-system-oss-applications.html
I have compiled Ubuntu kernel with OSS support enabled in the kernel, you can download and install the packages on Ubuntu 24.04 from https://onthim.blogspot.com/p/onthim-downloads.html Linux kernel for Ubuntu 24.04 (64 Bit) one.
After installing the packages make sure to use sudo apt-mark hold on the installed packages like shown below for Ubuntu not automatically upgrading to the repository ones:
sudo apt-mark hold linux-modules-extra-6.14.0-27-generic
sudo apt-mark hold linux-modules-6.14.0-27-generic
sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-unsigned-6.14.0-27-generic
sudo apt-mark hold linux-headers-6.14.0-27-generic
sudo apt-mark hold linux-buildinfo-6.14.0-27-generic
sudo apt-mark hold linux-hwe-6.14-headers-6.14.0-27
sudo apt-mark hold linux-hwe-6.14-tools-6.14.0-27
sudo apt-mark hold linux-tools-6.14.0-27-generic

How can I make Linux Gaming more popular or improve it on my scale?
Everything is in the title. I would like to make Linux gaming better, or make it more popular but I don't know how to code and I don't have social medias (Youtube, Tiktok ...) accounts.

Best os for my setup
Im looking into Linux as a life long Windows user and not a ton of software knowledge. Mainly for gaming and basic web surfing, I have a 4060ti with a ryzen 5 5600x. Also have a laptop with a 1660ti and Intel 7 11th gen with a boat load of ram. Any suggestions on what os will run some newer and slightly niche games like kf3 and 7 days to die and be pretty simple to use right out of the box? Thanks yall

[Question] Any way to increase the power cap limit of Radeon RX 9070 on Linux? (CachyOS)
Hey everyone,
Is there any way to increase the power cap limit of the Radeon RX 9070 under Linux?
On Windows, the Adrenalin driver allows up to +10% power limit, which the card handles just fine — it brings performance quite close to an RX 9070 XT. But on Linux, I'm stuck.
Using CachyOS, and tools like lact only allow undervolting, memory tuning, and basic frequency adjustments — but there's no way to raise the power limit, only lower it.
Has anyone figured out a workaround?
Thanks in advance for any tips!

Is lowering the GPU Power Limit through LACT safe?
I wanted to lower my RX 9070 XT's Power Limit to get better efficiency, at the same time I set up an Undervolt offset that seems to be stable at least in the games I've tested.
My model's default TDP is 340W and I lowered it all the way down to 265W (-22%) and the Undervolt is set to -90mV. With this settings I'm getting almost the same performance, maybe losing 1-3 fps out of 95fps total, the GPU clock under full stress gets up to 3150MHz and normally averages 3000-3060MHz I'd say.
The thing is, I wanted to know if not manually limiting the GPU Clock at the same time could lead to problems, I assumed it gets balanced automatically with the Power Limit and Undervolt changes, because I haven't got troubles in any games until now but the "Power Throttling" signals in LACT's Historical Data and MangoHUD are making me anxious (although in some situations, using stock settings I could get Power Throttling warnings the same way).
Anyway, someone could tell me if this could be a problem? Much appreciated.

Now would be a good idea to backup the latest Duckstation AppImage, flatpak, etc, as the developer is dropping Linux support
The developer of Duckstation announced he is dropping linux support.
https://old.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/1mcsww7/duckstation_dev_announced_end_of_linux_support/
So now would be a good idea to backup the latest AppImage, flatpak, and source code just in case.
Commands:
mkdir ~/duckstation-backup cd ~/duckstation-backup #!/bin/sh wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/duckstation-x86_64.flatpak' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/DuckStation-x64.AppImage' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/DuckStation-x64-SSE2.AppImage' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/DuckStation-Mini-armhf.AppImage' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/DuckStation-Mini-arm64.AppImage' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/DuckStation-armhf.AppImage' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/DuckStation-arm64.AppImage' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/duckstation-aarch64.flatpak' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/archive/refs/tags/latest.tar.gz' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/duckstation-windows-x64-release.zip' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/duckstation-windows-x64-sse2-release.zip' wget 'https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/releases/download/latest/duckstation-windows-arm64-release.zip' flatpak build-bundle /var/lib/flatpak/repo org.duckstation.DuckStation.LATEST_STABLE.flatpak org.duckstation.DuckStation stable Flatpak manifest: wget 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stenzek/duckstation/355c17bde96c79ede9c2c61ec25b34626591e14f/scripts/packaging/flatpak/org.duckstation.DuckStation.yaml'(backing up windows versions also just in case the linux version stops working at some point, unlikely anytime soon)

Steam Issues
Hoping someone can help me out with this. I recently swapped over from Mint to Lubuntu because of Lubuntu's minimal install option. When I am coming off a brand new install I do three things: swap the driver to the latest NVIDIA version, download Steam's .deb file from the official Steam site, and try to play a game. Every time I open my game, I have no audio. I remember this happened with Mint, but I remember doing so much stuff in the terminal it could have been anything that solved it.
Does anyone know exactly why the Steam audio is an issue? I would like to see why so I can fix it myself, without having to go online and pester everybody. Also, it would be nice to see what exactly I can do to see it not working so I can diagnose it myself if possible in the future. I will occasionally see people say check PulseAudio's volume control panel. but obviously it would register as working b/c it works for all non-steam things and because the system would be doing everything correctly. I assume its the pulseaudio vs. pipewire thing or I am just missing a steam plugin or something, but I have been using time shift and putting in a bunch of sudo commands to fix this and it isn't working.
Thanks guys.
(Found this meme online and I know some of you guys get where I am coming from.)

[re-game] screencast a game from a server to a client pc (steamlink alternative)
hello there i grow tired of looking for alternatives of streaming the way steamlink works but for linux and without steam, so i create this piece of code in order to archive that, it grabs the screen from the server with very low ms, and send it to the client at 60fps, also grab the default sink from pulseaudio and send it, the client show the video frames, play the sound, and grab 3 kind of events and send it to the server; keyboard, mouse and gamepad, for the mouse and gamepad, creates a virtual device on server. there are still some bugs, but right now the stream is completely functional and could be used without issue.
PD: video is recorded at 24fps, so fluidity is not seen.
