AMD gpu tweaking?
Hello people, i’m not really sure how to ask this cause i honestly don’t really understand the science behind it, but.. i read in multiple reddit posts that gamers tweak their gpu settings im wondering if it’s something you can do when you use linux as main OS and also my other question is, what’s the best settings for the 9070xt?

What is the easiest way to run non steam game launchers without llutris?
The title says it all, for some reason lutris makes my shutdown and reboot times take a lot longer than normal and it just feels cleaner without it.

New Steam Games Playable on the Steam Deck, with Tower Wizard - 2025-06-22 Edition
Has anyone gotten nvidia's smooth motion to work?
"NVPRESENT_ENABLE_SMOOTH_MOTION=1 %command%" doesn't work for me in a single game. I'm using fedora 42 with the latest nvidia test driver (575.64).
I noticed that steam's built-in fps counter shows double the frames. However, mangohud does not. Also, in-game benchmarks reflect mangohud's numbers.
For anyone who has gotten this working, can you confirm the increase is reflected by a benchmark? Also, what distro, desktop-env and driver are you using?

Emulating a controller with keyboard and mouse
I used to have a controller but now I don't have one. I need something to emulate it. I have 2 sets of peripherals so my secondary mouse and keyboard can become a controller.
I've found https://github.com/niehoff90/ControllerEmulator which is a 3 year old single C source file program which doesn't even have a configuration. I've managed to modify it to suit my needs but there are still problems like mouse drifting away when emulating joystick movement.
Is there anything mature and up to date for this purpose preferably with a config so I can make keymap profiles per game?

Controller not working anymore after Logitech mouse enters sleep mode
So this problem has been bugging me for over a year now and it's making me lose my mind now because I have tried for months to fix it with the help of chatGPT (which has been otherwise an incredible tool for very easy and understandable troubleshooting on Linux).
I am on the latest release of Linux Mint Cinammon version (other distros are out of question) and all my programs are up to date, as well as the FW of all my peripherals.
I use a GuliKit KK Max 3. My other peripheral that causes me quite a bit of trouble is the Logitech G305. The issue is very simple: When I am playing a videogame through Steam, and the mouse enters standby mode (after roughly 10 to 15 minutes), controller input stops working. Mouse and keyboard work as soon as I try, but controller still remains undetected by the game. Steam itself still recognizes the controller no problem, as I can navigate big picture mode even when the game isn't aware of controller input. The problem persists in no matter what input method from the GuliKit controller (S-, D-, X-Input in both BT and through Dongle). The issue doesn't occur to games outside of Steam (for example through Heroic and Emulation).
My current workaround is to turn the mouse off, then the issue doesn't occur. But obviously this completely kills usability of my pc when I am doing other stuff on second monitor while gaming. I hate this workaround, and it actually makes some games unplayable (Dark Souls 3, example given, where I need other stuff on second monitor like wikis and yt videos and keyboard navigation is much slower).
Following suggestions from GPT didn't work:
-Creating a udev rule (this doesn't seem to work, as auto-suspend still shows up as "auto" when I search for the device in the terminal)
-Turning auto-suspend off globally through GRUB (no success)
Interestingly, the issue doesn't occur in some games, like ER Nightreign, however does occur in DS1, 2, 3 and ER, all MonHun games I own on steam and many many others.
Any help I would highly appreciate, because I am genuinely kinda desperate on this one and I would really like to be able to play souls games normally again without having to worry about an issue like this.

Which distro to use for gaming?
Hey guys, I used Pop_OS a long time ago, I’m not tech guy but I’m a little bit tired of constant bloating of disk C on my windows.
So I started looking again into Linux, and I’m wondering if Pop_OS is good enough for gaming or that would be a big miss for me as it’s not designed for that?

Can I Play Better Games With My Low-End Laptop?
I have a pretty low-end laptop with these specs:
- CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(R) N5095 (4 cores) @ 2.90 GHz
- GPU: Integrated Intel UHD Graphics @ 0.75 GHz
- RAM: 12 GB
I mostly play simple offline games with bots that I download from myplaycity.com. I’m not expecting miracles, but I’m wondering if I can run slightly better games than what I’m playing now? I’m not looking for AAA titles or anything fancy, just something a bit more engaging.
Any suggestions for lightweight games that would actually run decently on this setup? Offline or online, I’m open to anything fun and playable.

For anyone having issues using a Dualshock 3 controller wirelessly
For me, the controller would work wired no problem but would not connect via bluetooth. What fixed it was going into etc/bluetooth/input.conf and changing "ClassicBondedOnly=true" to false. That, and uncommenting that section (removing the # sign before Classic).

Help needed - Ubisoft Connect - can you force on EAC in the background?
Hello,
some of you may have seen my post about one Ubisoft game - For Honor - even tho it is not officially supported the game used to run flawlessly.
The thing is now, after some recent patch the game after turning on, says that the EAC is not on, check the settings.
The way my game is installed is following - I installed Ubisoft Connect.exe (Uplay) through Steam, then I am opening UbiConnect through Steam and from there I am launching the game, so Steam is not launching the game on its own, but only the launcher, everything suprisingly worked. Used newest GE-Proton and command for SteamDeck.
I heard of the command:
PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME="/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime/" %command% uplay://launch.569/0 PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME="/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime/" %command% uplay://launch.569/0However even after modifying it to suit my path to EAC Runtime it didnt help.
Is there a way to "force open" EAC runtime on the background and then turn on the launcher and game? Or somehow modify files in UbiConnect folder to turn it before the .exe?
Thank you for help

Switched from Nvidia to AMD, now Proton doesn't work.
OS: Arch Linux
Kernel: 6.15
WM: Sway 1.11
CPU: 7800x3d
GPU: 9070XT
Memory: 32gb 6000MHz CL30
Launching games with PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 works just fine, but with Xwayland i get this error:
vulkan: No DRI3 support detected - required for presentation Note: you can probably enable DRI3 in your Xorg config XIO: fatal IO error 2 (No such file or directory) on X server ":0" after 334 requests (316 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
I've tried enabling DRI3 in /etc/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf but nothing has changed.
vulkaninfo | grep GPU shows both my iGPU and dGPU, the dGPU has the identifier "0", it also spams a lot of "No DRI3 support detected - required for presentation
Note: you can probably enable DRI3 in your Xorg config"
i tried uninstalling everything nvidia-related (nvidia-open-dkms already uninstalled) but i get hit with dependency warnings. These ones really scare me so i thought i'd rather wait: :: lib32-sdl3 optionally requires lib32-vulkan-driver: vulkan renderer
:: lib32-vulkan-icd-loader optionally requires lib32-vulkan-driver: packaged vulkan driver
:: sdl3 optionally requires vulkan-driver: vulkan renderer
:: vulkan-icd-loader optionally requires vulkan-driver: packaged vulkan driver
Anyone more experienced with amd able to help me out here?

The Finals on Void Linux, sometimes launching, sometimes - no
Very strange behavior. Sometimes it's working, sometimes not. GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 6650 XT.
Compatibility - Proton 9.0.4 (also try 10.0-1).
Some logs from terminal...
sh: 1: xdg-user-dir: not found

I see out of memory in logs, but this it's not true. 16 gb of ram not enough for launching the Finals?
But another days, I've got error like this.
Any ideas?
