I am on Ubuntu 25.04 using steam from the App store (so steam updates on a rolling cycle) and I am wondering if their is a way to add HDR to some games since GNOME 48 now has it? If not how can I put in a feature request to Canonical (they developed steam on the app store) to add it?

Or is their some other way that updates on a rolling cycle (rather than using apt)?

I am using Cachyos with Hyprland, currently i am using steam bigpicture mode and that works flawlessly however sometimes it is very laggy and I have to restart steam. Is there a simple way I can build a launcher or download one that is simple and is controller friendly?

I have the original Kerbal Space Program and DLC from their website, not through Steam. I have a fairly heavily modded install that I run on Windows, that I'm looking to move over to Linux. I've tried using the native Linux version before, but it felt like it ran fairly poorly and didn't like running with mods much at all, but I've heard that running the game through proton works pretty well.

So I have copied my install over from my Windows partition, and I've added it as a non-steam game through Steam, and I've enabled force compatibility tools usage and selected a Proton version, but when I go to start the game through Steam, nothing. Steam indicates loading for a moment, but then stops; no other windows appear, even briefly, and I see no logs getting generated in the KSP folder. I also tried this with a non-modded install, same issues.

Am I missing a step? Is there something else I need to do to get this working? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I just bought a new computer which should arrive somewhere next week. I bought two separate nvme to start dual booting windows and arch, being arch main OS.

I have experience with Linux due to work, school and generally driving wsl in my systems (both Ubuntu and Arch), but never using it as a main driver.

Is there any list of programs/ packages / scripts you recommend to set the system for gaming? Also any other resource, such videos and blogs are welcome.

I've had this same problem with Bleach Rebirth of Souls and Biohazard Resident Evil 7 too. I tried using both an Xbox Series X & PS5 Controller connected via USB and despite these controllers working with Steam Big Picture Mode and any other game I've thrown at it. The controller just isn't recognized in-game on Sonic Frontiers despite the description of the game saying my controller is supported. It's like the game itself is pretending nothing but my mouse and keyboard are connected to it.

How do I fix this?

Back on my Windows 10, I used this mod called Lightsaber Marks https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsjedisurvivor/mods/251 . As the name implies, when your blade touches something without attacking, it leaves a scorch mark for a couple of seconds. Back then, it worked fine. Recently, I moved over to Linux Bazzite and reinstalled Jedi Survivor along with a few mods in pretty much exactly as how I did it on Windows 10. For some reason, I can't get the scorch marks to work.

I first install the R457 Mod Loader https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsjedisurvivor/mods/85 and then the Outfit Manager https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsjedisurvivor/mods/110?tab=description, which comes with a Logic Mods Folder as well as a version of UE4SS. Anyway, I drop in the Lighstaber Marks files into Logic Mods as well as edit the UserEngine.ini in the Config colder to include the line +ModsToLoad="LightsaberMarks". I also tried adding the line in that ini file +SoftPaths=/Game/R457Mods/LightsaberMarks/LightsaberMarksModInfo.LightsaberMarksModInfo.

But I can't seem to get the scorch marks to appear. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Is it possible that some mods just don't work on a different OS?

Can someone who's familiar with modding this game please help?

Hi all,

I was trying to figure out how to get FSR 4 working on my Fedora installation. There are a few tutorials about, they mostly revolve around CachyOS.

I figured it out but here are a few caveats:

1. I am doing this on an RDNA 4 graphics card (an AMD 9070)
2. This will only work for games that support FSR 3.1 (and 4 obviously), otherwise you need Optiscaler and that I have not tried yet
3. This requires enabling third party repos that contain drivers that are not fully tested by Fedora and might introduce bugs
4. This also means that when you use dnf to upgrade, it will look at these third party repos and will override the mesa drivers that are official and stable on Fedora; you could opt for Fedora to just give you the stable drivers if you are happy to wait and would rather not have to deal with bugs and potential problems, eventually you will get FSR 4 even if you don't do all of this.
5. I am a Linux noob; it worked for me, it might not work for you, use at your own risk

--------------------------------------------------

What to Expect

Games that seem to support FSR 4 on Windows will show an FSR 4 option in their menu, which replaces FSR 3.1. Games that do not will just show you FSR 3.1. At least that is my experience. For the ones that don't show you anything in the menu, you might notice better image quality and less ghosting. You will also get a decrease in FPS. Please see this video for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyDHS_3jkV4&t=1s

I am also noticing that some full screen applications outside of gaming are a bit stuttery since I swapped drivers.

I don't know if it will happen to you but I would suggest considering whether potential installation problems, bugs, stuttery behaviour and decrease in FPS is worth it for what you get in visual quality.

Don't try this on immutable distros such as Bazzite.

Install Mesa-git and lib32-mesa-git drivers on your system

Just to reiterate: I am Linux noob. If you do this, you do it at your own risk and I won't be able to help you troubleshoot any problems. Make a back up of your system at the very least.

This is based on the CachyOS article. Obviously using Pacman to install mesa-git lib32-mesa-git won't work in Fedora so this is where you enable the third party repos.

You can do it in Discover, but the quickest way is doing it via terminal:

sudo dnf copr enable danayer/mesa-git
sudo dnf copr enable danayer/libdrm-git
sudo dnf copr enable danayer/Vulkan-Git

The Vulkan repo is to make sure that applications that use Vulkan don't have incompatibility with the bleeding edge mesa drivers.

Now you use dnf to update:

sudo dnf update --refresh

Reboot.

Verify you got the latest version. Here you can find the version of the current stable drivers in Fedora: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mesa

Then you can have a look at what you have installed:

glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"

If your number is higher, congratulations, you have the bleeding edge drivers. You should be done with mesa. But also expect potential bugs.

Should your Steam uninstall, it's due to dependencies, just reinstall it, you won't have to log back into Steam etc:

sudo install Steam

Installing Proton GE 10-4 for Steam

You can't install Cachy's version per the article, but you can install Proton GE 10-4. I also heard that Proton Experimental (the bleeding edge version) also works. For me it worked with Proton GE 10-4.

Install ProtonUp-QT:

sudo dnf install protonup-qt

In your applications menu, start ProtonUp-QT. In the "Install for" dropdown choose Steam. Then click on Proton GE 10-4 and press the "Add version" button.

Restart Steam if open.

Go to "Steam>Settings > Compatibility > Run other titles", pick: GE-Proton10-4, if you want all your games to run on that version of Proton, otherwise do it on a game by game basis.

dlls from the AMD Drivers

The CachyOS article provides a download script. I believe you can get those same files from your own Windows AMD drivers if you have a Windows installation. Technically, because these are files from proprietary drivers I won't give you a download link, you can have a look at the article I linked at the start. Follow the instructions in that article for where to place them.

Add the Command Line to the Launch Options in Steam

The CachyOS article also provides that, but it seems to work for me just by writing:

FSR4_UPGRADE=1 %command%

Feel free to point out why the CachyOS command is different, I am assuming it's because it uses its own Proton version. I don't really know.

----------------------------------------------------

Hopefully this is helpful, but I did want to say something I have not said anywhere else in this article yet: I am Linux noob. If you do this, you do it at your own risk and I won't be able to help you troubleshoot any problems. Make a back up of your system at the very least.

Hey everyone,
I'm on Arch Linux running a Wayland session (Gnome), with an NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti and the latest official drivers (nvidia, not nvidia-dkms).
I'm playing a game via Steam using Proton. Even when it's in fullscreen, if I move the mouse quickly or double-click near the screen edge, the cursor escapes to my second monitor. I expected the mouse to stay confined to the game window while in fullscreen.
Anyone can help me?

So long story short, I'm on bazzite(desktop, no gaming mode) and I've been using my controller for over a year now and its fine for the most part.
Now recently stellar blade came to PC and when I go to the settings it says my controller's firmware isn't up to date and some functions may not be available. Which is true since pretty much no touchpad swipe shurtcuts work and when I press it to scan the camera freaks out.
I tried installing the official playstation accessories app, I could install it with any proton or wine version with both lutris and bottles, but on lutris it just doesn't start and with bottles it closes instantly with an error message saying it encountered a "serious issue"

My googling only showed me 3 year old tutorials saying it works, showing a basic bottles install, while obviously it does not anymore.

Could you guys help me out?
