Why does firefox not save my passwords whenever I close it?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 Jan 2025 - 8:11am

Hey, i use nobara(fedora) and whenever I close firefox it simply forgets every password, and I have to reconnect my google accounts and everything else, not sure why it does that. I think it may be linked to another issue where, whenever I log on, an application called Kde6 wants to connect to the wallet or something, needing me to use the password. Would anyone please help me?

Is marvel rivals worth getting into on linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 Jan 2025 - 6:53am

Iv'e been burned by a lot of games when it comes to anti cheat support, rainbow six seige calling us linux people cheaters, apex legends boasting that they have linux support for years only to pull the plug on it in 2024, and lastly gta v doing the exact same thing despite being an 11 yr old game. I do have a ps5 so I could just play marvel rivals there, but idk is it worth giving it a shot on pc or does anyone think they'll randomly decide to yank support in a few years?

I just wanted to share my experience over the last few weeks with Steam for Windows, Cyberpunk and Sunshine/Moonlight.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 Jan 2025 - 3:23am

I just wanted to share one of the best experiences I've had in recent times.

I've been a Debian user for about 15 years, and a Linux user for about 20 years. If I count dual boot, my first contact with Linux was with Slackware 3, so it's been a while... I'm a casual gamer, mainly of native Linux indie games and minecraft with my sun, but I've always wanted to play CyberPunk.

Last week I was given access to a Steam account that had the game, and I started playing. It's a great game, I'm really enjoying it.

Yesterday I decided to try streaming with Sunshine and play with my Gamesir controller on Android. It was incredible, I played for more than 8 hours in those 2 days, and it's almost imperceptible that it's being streamed.

I highly recommend it.

is there a way to have different version of proton to run a game that has the main .exe and the launcher?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 Jan 2025 - 2:08am

I have a game that needs to be launched from its launcher. The thing is that the launcher needs to be fired up by proton 8.0-5 but the game .exe itself needs to be on proton 5.13-6 to fix a graphical bug.

How one can make it so the launcher runs on proton 8 and the game .exe launched by the launcher runs on proton 5?

Issue in Hades using Hyprland

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 Jan 2025 - 2:08am

Video of the Issue here

As you can see, when using my native resolution (1920x1080) there is a very noticeable delay when hovering over things in the menu. This happens with menus in game too.

I have tested it out with multiple proton versions, and i am using no launch options.

GPU is a GTX 1660 Super.

I have no issues with any other games in my library.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

Severe FPS hitching with Discord & Appindicator extension

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 Jan 2025 - 2:06am

Hey, I've noticed that on some games having Discord and the appindicator extension active at the same time will make games run terrible.

On Gnome.

Just a PSA in the case that someone has bad performance on some games.

How do I zoom/scale a window through wine?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 Jan 2025 - 1:13am

I'm trying to play an old game called The Neverhood through wine. So far it runs just fine, but the game itself has no resolution controls.

If I run with default settings it runs in fullscreen but only fills the very top left.

I found if I run wine explorer /desktop=800x600, then run the game from there it runs in a window, but it's super tiny still.

If I change my display resolution to 640x480, it fills the screen but it's stretched.

The virtual desktop and DPI settings in the graphics tab in wine config don't work.

How can I get this running at a reasonable size without being stretched? I don't mind if its fullscreen or in a window.

GPU Driver Version

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Jan 2025 - 10:00pm

I have google searched and still cannot find an easy answer. How can I tell what version of the GPU driver I am using? I'm running Bazzite, and just want to see if I'm using the most current driver for my RX 6900XT.

Day of Defeat (classic) - awful performance in Windows 11 compared to Linux (EndeavourOS)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 3 Jan 2025 - 9:17pm

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to know if anyone could weigh in on that "issue"...

I recently installed Windows 11 on a fairly low-end miniPC (16GB of RAM, some integrated Ryzen "Renoir"/"Julienne" integrated CPU...) and when I launch Day of Defeat "Classic" (not the Source one), I get HORRENDOUS game issues :

  • I can't crouch and shoot at the same time or strafe and shoot, WHEREAS on any Linux distro (be it Ubuntu, Arch/EndeavourOS, Fedora...) it works flawlessly - as if Windows was ghosting every keypresses... LOL

  • I get terrible choppy frame drop on almost every sharp turn I make (even when disabling vsync in settings), WHEREAS, again, every moves is smooth and flawless on Linux...

So, what warrants such awful performance on Windows ?

Could it be that GoldSrc games are as efficiently optimised on Linux as Source ones are ?

Anyway TL;DR : Windows sucks (nothing new here...)

Edit:spelling
