Source-Engine-1 performance issue initial fix MERGED (GitHUB). Details below.
https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/pull/5023
Long story short:I have jumped on Linux almost 2 years ago to "get used to it" and learn possible fixes to problems.
I found out, objectively, that S-E-1 uses almost twice the GPU % (use) to render the same or less frames.
This is an issue for ANYONE and EVERYONE because the GPU working double to give less is just a problem, no matter what "someone" says.
I want to give my thanks to the DXVK Devs for this first fix (I am not knowledgeable of how GitHUB works, but from the little I understood they plan to work a little more one it).
Please don't go there just to say "thank you", GitHUB is not a Social Media.

I want to invite everyone to play out some games which you enjoyed in the past and figure out if, compared to Windows' default performance, there's such a drastic loss there too, because Valve & other big shots are focusing on more modern games (for obvious reasons).It's difficult to scientifically gather data, but it must be done by someone, because if you want to be completely independent from Windows this must be done.

What are Intel Arc cards like on Linux atm?
So I recently made the jump to Linux Mint full time, and generally Im pretty impressed with the linux gaming experience these days. That being said, I think my Geforce 1660 Super is starting to show its age a bit and given my budget is a bit limited im looking at mid range options to replace it (planning on keeping my Ryzen 5 3600 for the immediate future and looking for a potentially a second hand upgrade).
Doing some research it looks like right now midrange cards are hamstrung by Nvidia and AMD limiting them to 8GB of VRAM, which a lot of people are saying isn't going to be very future proofed. Ive been interested in the Intel ARC B580 or A770 as alternative options which don't have this limitation but I've seen mixed comments about the state of their linux drivers and Vulkan performance.
Anyone on here using Intel cards on Linux able to offer their perspective?

Half life one lagging and crashing on Linux.
I have a trouble with playing Half Life 1 on my PC. A few days ago my PC just stopped running Half-Life one (Both linux runtime and Proton version). When I start the proton version of half life i get a "failed to create SDL window" error, and when I run the Linux version I can run the game but I get around 30 FPS which is unplayable. It might be some troubles with Drivers/OpenGL/Nvidia GPU but I aint sure what to do. I am kinda new to Linux so I might just mess something up. Here is some data that might help (My pc, errors and drivers):

Seeking "Plug-and-Play" Linux Gaming Mini PC Advice for TV
I want to build a super simple, "plug-and-play" Linux gaming console for my TV. My goal is maximum Proton compatibility with minimal tweaking.
Currently, my 12th-gen Intel iGPU laptop has frequent DirectX issues and unplayable games with Proton. Is this just the nature of Proton, or is my Intel iGPU part of the problem?
I tried to do some research but I could not find anything concrete on this. Most people just said most AMD gpus are good.
My main question: Does targeting specific hardware, like an AMD iGPU (similar to Steam Deck's), provide significantly better Proton compatibility and reduce those compatibility headaches?
Any specific mini PC recommendations (models, CPU/iGPU series) or OS suggestions (like Bazzite/ChimeraOS) for the smoothest experience would be awesome!
Thanks!

Is there any easy way to calibrate a joystick?
I have an old joystick that desperately needs calibration in order to work properly (at default it rests off-center and doesn't have full range of motion unless calibrated. this stick is old enough to drink, that's just how things were back then) but tools like jstest-gtk are deprecated and only calibrate the older joydev system. The stick remains uncalibrated in evdev, which is what everything I've tried to use it with reads from. Unfortunately Steam's input system wants to try to detect everything as an xbox controller which is unhelpful.
The only thing I can find after hours of searching involves using evdev-joystick to manually enter calibration values. I can't believe that linux went from having a system where there were ways to calibrate a joystick easily with a graphical interface to only one where you have to enter numbers by hand that gets reset the moment you unplug it. Surely there's a sensible way to do this.
The only previous things I can find talking about it are 6-8 years old with https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/5xics8/a_big_problem_with_joysticks_in_linux_right_now/ being the main thread that keeps coming up. The suggestions on there seem to only keep questioning why you'd want to calibrate an older joystick that doesn't output modern values or lamenting the same situation.
While the specifics don't really matter beyond that, I know I'll be asked. It's a Saitek Cyborg 3D joystick. I'm trying to use it at the same time as a VKB Gladiator NXT Evo specifically for playing Elite Dangerous. The VKB stick works fine and isn't the issue, but trying to use steam's input handling interferes with it so it has to be disabled. For both sticks, Steam keeps trying to apply gamepad settings to them which doesn't capture the axes correctly or have enough buttons for the VKB stick.

Dark Souls 3 Frame Pacing issue
After running dual boot for a few years using Windows only for gaming, decided to finally fully switch to linux. For the most part it works fine, however in Dark Souls 3 I've encountered an issue with spiking frame times at regular intervals which gets worse the more I play. Currently running the game with GE-Proton10-3 as:
DXVK_HUD=full DXVK_ASYNC=1 DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 gamemoderun mangohud %command%
Running with Proton 9.0-4, Proton Experimental didn't improve the situation. Restarting the game completely helps for a while, but then again same thing happens. From system monitor tools, it doesn't seem like either CPU or GPU come even close to their limits both in terms of frequencies and temperatures.
RTX 3080, Ryzen 7 5800X
Arch Linux (kernel 6.15.2) + KDE
On the first screenshot it shows DXVK hud shortly after restarting the game where everything is fine. The second and third screenshot show the issue. While the average FPS is still at 57-ish, the irregular frame times really make it feel stuttery, and if anyone has any ideas on how to fix it, would hugely appreciate it.

Problem with remote filesystem browsing between Bazzite (desktop) and Steam Deck
Hey all, currently I'm having an issue trying to use KDE Connect to browse my steam deck's file system (from my Bazzite Desktop PC, communicating with SteamOS Steam Deck).
The devices are obviously paired, and every other KDE connect feature works flawlessly between the two (remote input, multimedia control, share files, etc). But if I try to open Dolphin and plainly browse the Deck's filesystem from my Bazzite desktop, I get an error that says "failed to mount filesystem: device not responding".
I was having this same issue with my android phone until I enabled the "filesystem expose" option in the KDE connect settings on my phone, and then after I enabled that option on my android, it started working perfectly. So I'm assuming perhaps my steam deck needs to enable that setting as well? But I've been looking and I don't see an option to do that anywhere.
Here's something strange about it: When I go into the Plugin Settings option within KDE Connect on my Deck, the "Remote Filesystem Browser" option is present and checkmarked. However, if I go into the KDE Connect tab from the actual KDE System Settings, and look at the plugins there, the Remote Filesystem Browser plugin doesn't even show up on the Deck side. I'm assuming that has something to do with it, but I don't know what could cause it.
I've tried messing slightly messing around with some firewall settings as well, in case that might be blocking it somehow, but I don't really know what I'm doing there so I haven't really done much with that.

Discord screen share no audio
When I share my screen on Discord, people can't hear any audio from it. It used to work several months ago, back in early February, to be exact, that was the last time I really used it.
I'm using Endeavour OS with KDE Plasma 6.4 (Wayland), but I had the same issue when I was on 6.3
And here's the thing, IT SHOULD be working. Here is what the Discord relevant sources and inputs looks like under qpwgraph
So you can see Discord is making the right audio connections, yet there is no activity at all for discord_capture when I'm streaming, the activity for discord_capture stays empty, regardless of what's playing. In this case, I'm using Audacious with the Pulseaudio output as an example.
I remember when it was working, I used to have activity on that channel when I was streaming.
I'm at a complete lost. I really need this working. I also tried webcoord, my old backup, but that's broken too since electron 33.

New KDE HDR calibration
I'm a little confused on the actual function of the second screen shown in the new calibration from KDE. Im thinking two options and leaning to the second. The first is setting to monitors SDR value. Looks ok but a little dim. The second im thinking is finding the value that matches the screens brightness in SDR. My monitor is the LG 27GS96QE WOLED and peaks at 600 nits (achieves over 1000 with MLA) and SDR brightness of 276. The value i found to match SDR with second screen is about 450 just based off of my wallpaper.

(Mint 22.1 Xfce, Late 2013 Macbook Pro) Binding of isaac: repentance runs fine for 30 seconds, then freezes
I was excited to see that I could get the game to run, considering I can't even use afterbirth+ on my mac normally with MacOS, however I was quite disappointed to find that, regardless for the most part of which Proton version I'm using, it does the same thing: works fine after I start a run, then just freezes before a minute passes. Notably, no such freeze happens on the title screen. If I try to use the scout or legacy versions of proton, it simply launches afterbirth+ (which works quite fine without any freezing). Notably again, the hotfix version only freezes the game, while any others freeze the whole computer.
Is it a hardware issue? Anyone else having this issue? I don't really know enough to formulate a reason as to why a game runs buttery smooth for under a minute then decides it doesn't wanna do that anymore. Integrity of game files verified just fine. At least I can play afterbirth+, I guess.
Could be relevant: I installed steam from the web, not realizing that it's supposed to already be in the repository according to other discussion I've seen of linux gaming. I dunno if there's a notable difference between internet and repository steam.

Dark Souls 3 modding with Mod Engine 2
Hi all,
I've been trying to mod Dark Souls 3 with Mod Engine 2 on Linux. I have successfully done it on Windows, but I can't get it to work on my Steam Deck. What I have done so far is:
- Download ModEngine2 (I've tried both the proton fork and the original)
- Extract the contents into the DARK SOULS III/Game folder
- Put mods in mod/ (the same mods that are working on Windows)
- Launch modengine2_launcher.exe
I changed my launch options to echo "%command%" | sed 's/DarkSoulsIII/modengine2_launcher" | sh to launch modengine2 by default. I've done something similar on Windows but obviously the command is different. What happens is that Dark Souls 3 launches successfully but no mods are active. The issue is (almost) definitely not my config, as I've made it very simple to only have the mod folder, and I've tried a few different proton versions. Has anyone got this to work? I can't use the original ModEngine because that would require downgrading the game and I'd lose my save in which case I'd just play exclusively on Windows.
