Any alternatives to OpenRGB or a way to make it detect my RAM sticks in Linux/Nobara? - Trident Z NEO on an X570 Aorus Elite MB
I will not make this long-winded. I need RGB only changed on my RAM as the rest of the RGB was permanently changed through Windows but I have no idea how to either A) make the light strips teal in Linux or B) make the changes permanently through a Windows install before swapping back to Nobara.

Wake Bazzite OS from Sleep with a Bluetooth Controller (and other USB devices you would want)
I will not 100% guarantee success for everyone and their use case, but if this helps even one person or helps someone smarter than I figure out how to make this work for everyone easily well...
I finally figured out how to do this and figured I would share:
Prerequisites:
- A bluetooth Adapter that supports wake, I am using the TP Link UB500.
- Connect your desired controller via bluetooth or usb. For me this was a PS5 Controller via bluetooth, (DualSense) an NSO N64 Controller, (via bluetooth) and an Xbox Series S Controller. (via bluetooth) Make sure whatever devices you want to use are connected and working.
- Know what your password is for your user so you can run sudo commands. If you do not know what that is, go get some more experience/read other tutorials before attempting.
Steps:
- Go to Desktop Mode, Open up terminal.
Run
sudo ls /etc/udev/rules.d/and find a number that is not already in use. ( I will use 98 in my examples)
Run
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/98-wake.rulesand paste in the following (ctr+shift+v):
#enable wakeup for all usb bluetooth dongles ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{bDeviceClass}=="e0", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo enabled > /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/wakeup'" #enable wakeup for USB HID devices (keyboards, mice, gaming controllers) ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{bDeviceClass}=="03", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo enabled > /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/wakeup'" #enable wakeup for vendor specific devices that still present as controllers ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{bDeviceClass}=="ff", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo enabled > /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/wakeup'" #enable wakup for all usb devices presenting as composite devices ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{bDeviceClass}=="00|ef", ATTR{bInterfaceClass}=="03|e0|ff", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo enabled > /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/wakeup'" #enable wakeup for all bluetooth adapters ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="bluetooth", KERNEL=="hci[0-9]*", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo enabled > /sys/class/bluetooth/%k/device/power/wakeup'"then hit "ctrl+x" then "y" then "enter" to save it.
Run this command to reload your rules:
udevadm control --reloadRun this command to have your existing devices reprocessed:
udevadm trigger
Finally, test it by (making sure your controller is connected) putting the machine to sleep. Once it has been asleep for 15 seconds, try waking it up by powering on the controller. If your (bluetooth or usb) hardware supports it, you should be able to wake the machine via your device. This should work both on Desktop and in Gaming Mode. Sometimes it can take up to 10-15 seconds of the controller just flashing, or may require multiple button presses to keep the controller reaching out so be patient and get a feel for your setup and what you have to do.
If anyone wants to take a crack at getting the Bazzite Devs attention for me or someone to do a PR to add a ujust command I would be open to that, but as a simple first time contributor I'm nervous enough just posting this to reddit.
Hope it helps someone. Edits are for Spelling, Clarification, and Grammar.

Is it worth swapping my RTX 4070 over to an AMD gpu (specifically a 7800xt or something similar?)
Hi! So I've tried doing some research on this topic but haven't really come across a definitive answer. I'm running cachyOS and I play a wide range of games, and wondering if it is worth swapping my GPU over to get some better performance. I'm currently rocking a 5800x3D with 32GB clocked at 3200mhz.
Thanks!
Update: Thanks everyone, I'll stick with the 4070 for now and hold off until i can get a 9070xt. I didn't know that DX12 performance was getting improvements soon on nvidia cards, mainly ha.

Faugus Launcher broke Battle Net after restart
So, I installed Faugus and downloaded Battle Net launcher, it worked fine and everything was smooth until I had to restart my machine.
Now I get a full white window when I open the battle net launcher. Any window that spawns from BNet is fully white.
Does anyone has a solution or faced the same issues ?

Dragon's dogma 2 glitch
I got some sorta of spiky ground glitch, also the game recognize only 2gb of bran (as shown in the image),
I'm using:
Bazzite
Proton GE latest (also tried experimental and proton-catchyos latest)
GPU: Intel arc b570 guardian Luna OC (10gb VRAM)
I also tried forcing 10gb in dxvk via launch options, re-created shaders, turn of force mesh and other things.
I played Else Ring, Resident Evil requiem, Sofi, Helldivers 2 perfectly without no problem

What are you all playing lately? Here's my current lineup
Been on Linux for a while now and figured I'd share what's been eating my time and see what everyone else is running.
My most played by a mile is Predecessor (3,100+ hours), it's a MOBA that runs great on Linux. Right behind it is PlanetSide 2 (~1,400 hours), which still holds up. Beyond those two I keep coming back to Borderlands 2, Elden Ring, Gunfire Reborn, and Don't Starve. The Souls games in general have been a big part of my library too, Dark Souls I through III.
Currently have No Rest for the Wicked and Witchfire on the wishlist in early access, keeping an eye on both.
Curious what everyone else is running on Linux right now. Any hidden gems that work well on Proton or native? What's getting your hours?

I recently switched to Linux and my fans are freaking out
I have an Acer laptop, and I recently switched to Linux, about a week or so ago. I noticed weird noises coming from my laptop, and all of them pointed to the fans being weirded out. How can I fix this and/or what's causing this?

Please help: blacklist file not working anymore on Bazzite
I created a blacklist file in /etc/udev/rules.d to stop hid_nintendo from loading. This used to work but stopped working. Did something change recently that requires a different solution?
More generally, what is the best way to blacklist a kernel module in Bazzite?
I tried posting this question on the Bazzite sub but it was removed by reddit filters.

Steam compatibility options just disappear?
I'm trying to play slay the spire 2, but every time i turn my computer off Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 just disappears from the list of options I can use, which is weird because its the only one that has actually allowed me to play the game. Does anyone know about this and how I could potentially get it back? (fedora)

Vesktop and alt apps of Discord
Im sure we all know and most of us use "Vesktop" (Vencord), but with the looming IPO of Discord, I am not so sure about continuing to use it. I am old enough to remember what happened when Spotify IPOd, all the custom apks such as "spotify dogfood" versions got nuked in the span of a month or so. I am worried as Discord is my main app to chat to my friends, even IRL ones. So the question is, do you guys still use Vesktop, do you plan on continuing to use it if Discord IPOs?

Steam (Flatpak) Menu Repair: A script to repair and automate Flatpak game shortcuts
I just switched over to openSUSE Tumbleweed from Windows and didn't love that none of my Steam (Flatpak) games were appearing in my KDE Plasma start menu, so I put together this little script that fixes that.
The script syncs your Steam games into the start menu, finds the correct high-res icons for them, and adds the script itself to your menu so you can run it easily whenever you add or remove a game.
I hope it helps someone!
How to Install1. Download the Script: Click here to get the script from GitHub Gist.
2. Save Location: Save the file in your Downloads folder as exactly:
Steam (Flatpak) Menu Repair.sh
3. Run the Command: Open your terminal (Konsole) and paste the following:
cd ~/Downloads && chmod +x "Steam (Flatpak) Menu Repair.sh" && ./"Steam (Flatpak) Menu Repair.sh" submitted by /u/spacemanSparrow[link] [comments]
My friend's experience using Bazzite for roughly 3 months
Hello fellow Tux enjoyers!
Hope you are all doing well! Here I am to tell you yet another experience with Linux and Linux gamint but not mine, this one is actually the experience of my non-tech friend using Linux (specifically, Bazzite)
For starters, he only got to use Linux for 3 or 4 months because his PC (alienware) had a faulty SSD and it was stopping him from booting.
He had a 1TB HDD and Windows 11 + HDD = pure disaster and torture then he decided to try Linux to see if he could at least play and stream a bit until he solved his storage issues.
For starters, it was pretty darn easy for him to install Bazzite, even with Bazzite terrible installer (we have to admit it guys, is almost as bad as Windows's installer)
He has an Nvidia GPU and he was gaming faster than on Windows, record time even.
And thats with the handicap of having a HDD.
He was also streaming pretty quickly but here's where issues began.
For starters, game capture needed that additional command on Steam, while it wasn't rocker science it was really inconvenient and unintuitive specially for a non tech person who just wants things to work.
Next and his really only other issue was/is mod managers/mods in general, he tried installing mods for Resident Evil 4 and Elden Ring
He got it working by pure brute force but it really wasn't easy and he had to take different shortcuts and follow tutorials to accomplish mods.
He went back to Windows 11 last week because of this, he liked Linux and gives it a 7/10 but those things like mod managers not being available on Linux or being extremely hard to set up.
Other than that. Smooth sailing, he didn't had difficulties navigating Linux or using it in general or using Discord, we streamed together multiple times using Bazzite with friends using Windows.
Pretty darn good!
Fingies crossed

What is the issue?
I build a friend a pc with many second hand parts.
It has a: a10 6700, 1060 6vram, one single ddr3 8gb ram with Asus M11BB motherboard.
The hard drive is from 2013.
Bro just wants to play tf2 and cloverbit and other basic stuff like discord.
But when I start tf2 it loads in but is not loading into a game and is just freezing and then freezing the pc.
Idk what the direct issue is.. is it the hard drive or the ram ect?
