Dual AMD Setup: Gaming PC + Work Laptop with Steam Link streaming - Need advice!
Hey everyone! I have an interesting setup idea and would love some input from the community.
Current hardware: - Desktop: Full AMD gaming PC (planning to install Bazzite) - Laptop: Full AMD work laptop (currently running Fedora 42) - Good router with solid local network
The plan: I want to set up my gaming PC on one side of the room as a "living room console" running Bazzite, while my work desk with ultrawide monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers is on the opposite side.
Here's where it gets interesting - instead of running long cables across the room, I'm thinking of using an HDMI dummy plug on the gaming PC and streaming games to my laptop via Steam Link over the local network. This way I can game on my work setup (ultrawide + peripherals) with theoretically zero latency since it's all local, without needing the TV on or cables everywhere.
Questions: 1. Has anyone tried a similar Bazzite → Fedora Steam Link setup? Any gotchas? 2. Will the AMD-to-AMD configuration cause any issues? 3. Should I expect any problems with the HDMI dummy approach? 4. Any specific network optimizations I should consider for the best streaming experience?
The goal is to have a clean setup where I can seamlessly switch between work (laptop native) and gaming (streamed from desktop) on the same workspace.
Additional requirement: I'd also like to stream non-Steam games to my laptop in the same way - things like: - Standalone games installed via Bottles - Emulators (RetroArch, etc.) - Games from Heroic Games Launcher (Epic/GOG)
Is there a way to make these accessible through Steam Link as well, or would I need a different streaming solution for non-Steam content?
Thanks for any insights!

Devil May Cry 5 stuck at 5 FPS on launch screen – tried DX11 fix but still unplayable
Devil May Cry 5 stuck at 5 FPS on launch screen – tried DX11 fix but still unplayable (CachyOS + Proton )
Hey everyone, I’m looking for help with a frustrating issue running Devil May Cry 5 on Linux.
My System (CachyOS):
OS: CachyOS (Arch-based, with Cachy Kernel)
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500
RAM: 16 GB
Drivers: Proprietary NVIDIA (up to date)
Proton: 9.0.4 (i tried all the rest )
Steam version of the game
After downloading the game, it opens but gets stuck at the intro/loading screen at around 5 FPS. The loading is painfully slow and it never reaches the main menu. The system is more than capable of running it, but something’s clearly off.

My indie game, UNDEFEATABLE, is now in the elusive group of F2P online PVP movement shooters that support SteamOS + Linux!
When we started working on UNDEFEATABLE, linux support was always a high priority for me. I'm sure as gamers a lot of you can relate to being frustrated with needing to use windows to play your favorite shooters, so out of frustration we created our own game. I'm incredibly excited to be able to play my new favorite game without having to switch away from my comfy arch install.
If you want to support us further in our journey of making linux compatible multiplayer experiences a wishlist of the game would help a lot, additionally you can join our discord and help us playtest.

Does Linux support HDR? Or should I stay on Windows 11 for now?
I recently upgraded my desktop setup with a new OLED monitor, and the visual experience has been nothing short of stunning. The deep blacks, vibrant colors, and overall clarity make a significant difference, especially when consuming HDR content. However, since I made the switch, I’ve been wondering about how well Linux handles HDR compared to Windows 11. On Windows, HDR support seems to be more polished and integrated, particularly with newer versions of the OS and updated drivers. It’s relatively easy to enable and get running across various applications.
That said, I’ve already transitioned my laptop to Linux, and I’ve really been enjoying the experience so far. The customization options, stability, and overall control Linux offers have made it a great platform for my daily tasks. I use it for development, browsing, media consumption, and even some light gaming, and it handles all of that smoothly.
Now I’m considering doing the same with my desktop, but HDR support is a key factor for me. I’d like to know if modern Linux distributions support HDR properly, and whether certain desktop environments or drivers make a difference. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Rocket league on heroic not launching after update BC2_Update55+487806
I have been playing rocket league on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS using heroic launcher for the past couple months, it worked like a charm except for a few occasions where it struggled with slow internet, until yesterday after it auto updated, then it started consistently failing to start, showing this error
SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'p', "pps = 200 "... is not valid JSON at JSON.parse (<anonymous>) at vn (/app/bin/heroic/resources/app.asar/build/main/main.js:145:1410) at Module.Fd [as launch] (/app/bin/heroic/resources/app.asar/build/main/main.js:105:7143) at Zo (/app/bin/heroic/resources/app.asar/build/main/main.js:143:1914) at Session.<anonymous> (node:electron/js2c/browser_init:2:106823) ============= End of log =============I believe the full log file doesn't contain any other useful information but you can see it here
- Heroic version : 2.17.2
I tried google searching the issue but google keeps giving me old results for old issues, any help would be very appreciated.

Rocket league lags after 1 hour of playing but gets worse with player input.
https://reddit.com/link/1lf5sho/video/dceeooebiu7f1/player
Pretty much the title, for as long as I can remember after or around 1 hour of play the game just starts to stutter causing this to frame skip, the strange thing about it, is that it seems to be input dependent, in the video if I let go of the input the game stops stuttering, even just pressing one key stops stuttering but if I use multiple keys it gets worse, as far as I know this only happens on rocket league, I havent noticed anything similar in other games, if you need more information please ask and I will provide.
System specs:
Distro -> Manjaro
cpu -> AMD R5 1600 AF
ram -> 16gb ddr4 3000mhz
gpu -> RX 6600 - Mesa drivers (open source)
psu -> 550W
Storage -> a-lot 1tb +
