The Issue: I'm experiencing an issue where my GPU's VRAM Clock gets stuck at the minimum frequency (0.192 GHz) when launching games. I previously added a kernel parameter to GRUB to disable a power management feature (likely related to ASPM), which helped initially. However, I noticed that if the system stays idle for a while and I then launch a game, the VRAM clock refuses to hit its maximum frequency unless I restart the session (Logout/Login). Current Setup: OS: Arch Linux Compositor: Niri (Wayland) GPU: AMD [Insert your GPU model here] Tool: Using LACT for GPU management. What I've tried: Modifying GRUB with pcie_aspm=off (or similar). Using LACT to set performance profiles, but the VRAM frequency doesn't "wake up" properly after long idle periods without a session restart. Questions: Is there a specific driver or firmware missing that handles the wake-up transition for VRAM? Is this a known issue with Niri or Wayland compositors not sending the correct activity signals to the GPU? I want to avoid keeping the VRAM at max clock constantly due to heat concerns. Is there a way to ensure it ramps up reliably when needed?

So i have seen nice sale on far cry, never played 5, so I thought I will give it a go. But then I have seen there are numerous DRM listed on Steam page. It should run on SteamDeck, it has yellow "playable" status.

But if I have to fight with some stupid drm/anticheats, I would rather play it "the good old way" without these, if you know what I mean...

Are there games that specifically need NVME drives and have performance issues on SATA SSD? I’m not talking about loading times but real in-game smoothness.

now I'm not running a monster but I got a 8700k with 16gigs of ram and an arc a750 on bazzite

I'm able to run most modern games rather well on this HTPC, how ever RE9 launches, compiles shaders and then just freezes on the next loading screen.

if anyone has any ideas let me know

I tried to install sober on my steamdeck, and after I installed sober, I was met with a message that said "gameplay unavailable and that they are working on updating it.

Fala pessoal,

Depois de apanhar algumas horas tentando fazer meu Funlab Firefly funcionar via Bluetooth no Pop!_OS 24.04, consegui resolver e estou deixando aqui o passo a passo caso ajude alguém.

🖥️ Sistema

• Pop!_OS 24.04
• Kernel: 6.18.7-76061807-generic (System76)
• Controle aparece como: Xbox Wireless Controller
• Driver usado: hid_xpadneo

❌ Problema

O controle:

• Funcionava normalmente via cabo USB
• Pareava no Bluetooth
• Mostrava Pairing successful
• Mostrava ServicesResolved: yes
• Logo depois ServicesResolved: no
• Não ficava conectado

Às vezes também aparecia:

org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationFailed 🔎 Diagnóstico

• dkms status mostrava hid-xpadneo como instalado
• Mas lsmod | grep xpad não mostrava nada
• Secure Boot estava desativado
• O Bluetooth pareava, mas o serviço HID falhava

O problema era:

✅ SOLUÇÃO 1️⃣ Carregar o xpadneo manualmente sudo modprobe hid_xpadneo

Confirmar:

lsmod | grep xpad

Deve aparecer:

hid_xpadneo 2️⃣ Desativar ERTM (PASSO MAIS IMPORTANTE)

Teste temporário:

echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/module/bluetooth/parameters/disable_ertm

Para deixar permanente:

echo "options bluetooth disable_ertm=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/bluetooth.conf

Reinicie o Bluetooth:

sudo systemctl restart bluetooth 3️⃣ Remover pareamento antigo bluetoothctl

Dentro:

remove XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX quit 4️⃣ Parear novamente pelo terminal (não pela interface gráfica) bluetoothctl

Depois:

power on agent on default-agent scan on

Coloque o controle em modo pareamento:

👉 Home + X (modo Xbox)
Se não funcionar, teste Home + Y

Quando aparecer:

scan off pair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX trust XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 🎉 Resultado

Depois disso:

• Controle conecta normalmente
• Não desconecta após ServicesResolved
• Funciona no sistema e na Steam
• Sem quedas aleatórias

Você pode confirmar com:

dmesg | tail

Deve aparecer algo como:

hid_xpadneo: Xbox Wireless Controller connected 🧠 Por que isso acontece?

O Funlab Firefly é um controle clone que:

• Se identifica como Xbox
• Usa implementação Bluetooth diferente
• Falha com ERTM ativado
• Precisa do hid_xpadneo em vez de HID genérico

No kernel 6.18 do System76, o módulo nem sempre carrega automaticamente.

Game Title: SELF MADE: Investment Life Sim

Playable Link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4366250/SELF_MADE_Investment_Life_Sim/

Description: SELF MADE: Investment Life Sim is a deep tycoon and life simulation game born from a lifelong obsession with economics and strategy gaming. After 18 years of personal investing and earning economics degrees, my twin brother and I decided to build the simulator we always wanted to play. Inspired by the depth of titles like Civilization IV and the management loops of Mad Games Tycoon 2, this game challenges players to start from nothing and build a financial empire.

As the title suggests, I am looking for a game, preferably on Steam, that is idle or idle adjacent that can be done on the desktop. This is an example of the experience I am looking for:

I am using PopOS!_OS 24.04 LTS

Does anyone know how to get the Steam Overlay working in game? I am using Flatpak Steam, and Shift+Tab does nothing. I have it enabled in the settings. Is this a limitation on Wayland?

So I have to ask if anyone else has noticed this. I play on both Windows and Linux. My main game is Rocket League. Using an xbox one controller wired. Everything works, performance is great (all AMD hardware). But for some reason the joysticks (and maybe the triggers but it's not as noticeable) just feel off on Linux. I get used to it after some time though, but I was on my Windows install today and fired up Rocket League there to play a few matches and the joysticks just felt a ton better. They felt more responsive and like 100% in a direction turns sharper on Windows than on Linux.

I also noticed when playing Rocket League on my steam deck where if I'm inputting say 3 inputs at the same time (so up and to the right while hitting my air roll button for example) one of my inputs sometimes stops registering until I let off and press it again.

I'm assuming it's down to the quality of the driver, but I can't quite put my finger on what exactly is happening. It's like the acceleration from dead center to full a direction is slower and like all the way to a direction inputs less total movement than on Windows.

Any ideas welcome, kinda just brain dumping on this one.

Easiest ways to install mods on steam games on linux?

Not looking to install a lot of mods on any game, maybe 3-5 max. What's the easiest way to do it?

I'm on fedora, btw

I use these two programs to emulate a steering wheel and pedals with KBM in Assetto Corsa. The nice thing about this Python script is that it makes the steering wheel (mouse) less sensitive in the center and more sensitive at the edges

Pretty much the title but I was wanting some feedback from the community. I use bazzite on pc in just desktop mode, no game mode, but ive noticed some stuttering every once in awhile and ive been looking at cachy and nobara.

I've heard more about cachy and it looks like it might be optimized a little better all around.

I like the atomic structure with btrfs but at the same time editing ostree for many cli packages is annoying. I also like the ujust updater and the whole cli program really. Does cachy or nobara have something similar or are they more in line with what you'd expect from linux?
