PSA: If you miss DSR/VSR from windows, but find the supersampling in gamescope lacking
try injecting a gaussian blur shader using vkbasalt or reshade into the game you're running through gamescope. I have been experimenting with this and i have been getting excellent results. This gets that nice similar soft super-sampled look that you can get with VSR and DSR

Mangohud on Hytale
Title kinda explains mostly everything, I've tried using Flatlseal to add environment variables to the hytale launcher and that didn't do anything. I also made sure I had the mangohud flatpack extension and it still doesn't show up at all in hytale. any suggestions?

MCPE launcher issues
Hi I'm trying to setup a PC for my wife and I'm using bazzite as the distro
My issue is that when I log into Google using the MCPE launcher flatpak, after I put in my password there is a popup that says "sorry something went wrong please try again" and a button that says "restart". On top of this I tried to manually put in the oauth_token and user_id but couldnt find any in the cookies for the Google login site it wants me to use. And when I log into that site it also has the same sorry message.
Any info on this at all would be greatly appreciated

Crusader Kings 3 crashes after launch
I recently got a new computer and it's Linux (Debian 13, Gnome Desktop), and it's much more powerful than the toaster I've been using for years. So I decided to install one of my favorite games, Crusader Kings 3, to play asap.
Now, when I click play on steam, it opens the game launcher fine. Then, once I click play, the game launches, loads for about 10 seconds, and then closes. No crash report as far as I can see. I tried doing it with no mods and no DLCs, but to no avail. I've tried changing the launch options to Vulkan, dx11 and dx12, nothing. Tried using a forced compatibility tool, and nothing. I checked the files and it is not an .exe file, which might've caused the problem, it's the Linux native version. The steam version I use is also downloaded directly from the steam website. What can I do to fix this? Note that, from my testing, this is the only game in which this happens.
Thanks in advance.

Is Nobara HTPC ISO worth it or just stick with the KDE ISO?
Hey guys! How are you doing?
I'm using Nobara 43 KDE on my Asus ZenBook 14 UX433FN and gaming on it plugged in and it's awesome. The best distro I tried for gaming. Wonderful. And I said I'll stick with Nobara 43. But I saw the HTPC where I'll get a Steam-Deck Console-like experience. But I was thinking... Is it gonna be stable with me like the KDE version or just stick with KDE? Asus ZenBook 14 UX433FN comes with Intel Graphics UHD 620 and Nvidia GeForce MX150 as a dedicated GPU. And Steam Big Picture Mode works fine without any stutter. But will it stutter on Nobara HTPC ISO?
What do you think?

Switching to Bazzite
Arc Raiders Periodic Crashing
Arc Raiders works well out of the box, but will crash periodically. Usually after about 30-40 minutes.
I don't have any additional launch arguments (I tried a few but the issue never changed), I've tried a few versions of Proton, GE-Proton, etc, but all have similar behavior.
I've also enabled the accessibility option about keeping the game in the foreground when matches are found.
The crash has lead to an Embark Studios diag dump collector twice. Most other times, the app just stops responding and I have to force kill it through Steam.
- Gentoo
- Nvidia 4080 with latest driver
- Steam from steam-overlay (Haven't tried Steam flatpak yet)
Any one have any suggestions?

Thinking of switching from Windows
I’m kinda fed up with windows right now, I have a CS degree so I know that Linux exists but never really used it. Looking for advice on a switch or if I should just stick it out. I have not looked into it too much on what software will work so sorry if this is a stupid post.
My concerns:
I want to be able to play my games, I don’t really play competitive games anymore so I think I’m okay there will need to check my steam, but if anyone has anything to note here would appreciate it before I start this process
I do video editing/recording, what software do people recommend?
I do code on my computer, mostly python, but also other languages, will this still work, what IDE?
I do 3d stuff so fusion 360 mostly right now but just getting into blender
I want this process to be easy I do enough tinkering and debugging things in my job, I know Linux may require a bit more but I really would like something that is easy to set up and does not regularly require me to debug

No sound on some older games and one new one
Right, I've got the following games that no longer have any sound. They did a while back, but I've done a lot of updates since then and have probably lost a library. Running CachyOS:
- C&C generals
- Supreme commander
- Total Annihilation
- One new game - Carbon demo (beta)
All of these used to have sound, but now I'm essentially playing on mute.
I've tried setting environmental variables for:
- SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudio
- SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pipewire
- SDL_AUDIODRIVER=jack
To no avail.
I've checked that I have pipewire-alsa, lib32-libpulse, lib32-pipewire and lib32-alsa-plugins and they are all present. Not really sure where I'm going wrong.
Has anyone else had this issue and if so, have you solved it?

GE-Proton not working
Hi! I'm new to Linux, downloaded it somewhere last week!
I've been playing games via Steam, and most games have been running fine with just the normal Proton from steam! But when one of my games had some slight graphical errors, and I went to check protonDB, which said that I had to use a version of GE-Proton to fix it. But when I go to try it, it doesn't run my games anymore? Only the Steam proton versions let my games launch. This is quite annoying cus I can't play some of my games now. Any advice on how to fix this?
