i recently moved from windows 11 to pop os, and the first thing that i noticed, is when i oppened pro soccer online, my mouse had a limit to go, like, a maximum rotation, srry if i cant explain that well, im brazilian and sometimes its hard for me to explain correctly, but in general, is there somehow i can change the graphics card that i want when i play? like in windows you have the nvidia properties, but i cant find a way to do this on linux, i have a 3050, can someone help me?

OBS: i use a acer nitro v15-51, srry for not putting that as an information

update_1: i think that the switching graphics isnt the issue, because i saw that my pc is using the nvidia gc, but the issue is that, idk why, but my game doesnt let me use my mouse completely, and it stutters badly.

Hello everyone,

I am using flatpak Steam on Debian 12. Games start and even work, but the screen stays black or transparent. I can even do actions in game, based on the sounds. But no image. This can only be fixed by using the PROTON_USE_WINE3D command, which works for now. However, I would like to solve this problem entirely, because other apps, like An Anime Game launcher don't have this option.

I already did some troubleshooting with ChatGPT, but to no avail.

Here is some more info I found out during that:

Nvidia Driver is up to date. Flatpak applications are also up to date. Session type is x11. Graphics card is Nvidia RTX 4070. Games run normally when installed in flatpak Lutris.

Does anyone have the same problem? If so, did you manage to solve it?

With the new performance update out, I'm pretty glad they're making progress. However, it's not perfect and I'm looking for some input. I'm not entirely sure why, but after some extended play, the games framerate will start struggling to go above 20 (prefer if I could keep in game settings the same). I added ReFramework which hasn't improved anything. Adding the launch option for it also makes it run worse.

I run on Bazzite 43 - Nvidia-open Nvidia driver version is 590.48.01 GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (12GB) Intel Core i7-12700KF 64GB of Ram Monitor is 3440x1440

Writing this up while attempting a fresh reinstall and waiting 24 hours (the Denuvo banned me because god forbid I try to make a game run at peak performance)

I have an Hp Omen 16 laptop with Ryzen 7 7840hs and RTX 4060, I'm using Arch Linux and I have tried everything but my laptop seems very restricted and won't let anything change it's fan speed, on windows the fan speed was easily adjustable using Hp Omen Gaming Hub.

I have tried:

• NBFC
• Omenix
• Native Linux Fancontrol (lm_sensors)
• HP-WMI Manual Override
• Omen-Fan-Control

I am considering:

• Sucking it up and going back to windows 11 even though I HATE windows

Hi,

I'm having an issue where NVIDIA GameWorks effects (especially Interactive Smoke in the Batmobile) are enabled in the settings, but they do not work in-game.

All GameWorks options appear and are set to ON, PhysX is enabled, but there is absolutely no dynamic smoke — not even light effects.

My system specs:

GPU: NVIDIA Quadro P5000 (16GB VRAM, Pascal architecture – similar to GTX 1080)

Driver Version: 582.16

OS: Windows 11 (latest updates)

DirectX: Forcing -dx11 launch option

PhysX Processor: Set manually to Quadro P5000 (not Auto)

NVIDIA PhysX System Software installed (Legacy version also tested)

VideoMemorySizeMb set to 8192 in config file

Shader cache cleared

The GameWorks options show up correctly in the graphics menu, but the effects are not rendered at all.

This setup worked about a year ago on the same GPU.

Is this a driver-level restriction with Quadro cards, or is there a known compatibility issue with Windows 11 and newer drivers?

Any help would be appreciated.

I’m looking for a guide I know exists because I used it about a year ago but I can’t find it anymore. It was a guide on how to fix the sound - MIDI fix using fluid synth and Qtractor. When I fixed the sound on my old pc I know I also watched a YouTube video that gave me a .sf2 file. I went to my watch history and that video isn’t up anymore but I still have the .sf2 file.

On my pc I got the sound fixed with the .sf2 file but it’s a very old and slow pc (Dell optiplex 3010), and I changed my set up so now it’s hooked up to my tv and I use my pc mainly for watching tv. I want to play TES Arena on my laptop (hp Elitebook 745 G4) that’s running Pop os 24.04. I‘ve installed it through steam.

I wish I could remember or saved the guide or wrote down what I did exactly… Can anyone help?

I've been trying to figure out why I get only 20fps on a modlist made for steamdeck which my computer should perform better than (framework 13 7840U). Turns out it maxes out at like 4 to 5 gb of VRAM and has 99% GPU usage according to MangoHUD. Used Zram to increase the max swap ram available so that "a priori" it would have access to more ram but its not working... I can play Ghost of Tsushima just fine, elden ring just fine, and can even run cyberpunk but a 2011 game with potato pc setting textures and graphics? nope.

anyways problem seems to be that the dynamic allocation of ram doesnt really get "triggered" properly by skyrim? if I run skyrim on its own from steam its fine, but I have to run mod organizer 2 first through steam proton, then press play from there and start the game. so maybe its allocating vram in accordance to MO2 and not skyrim?

Not sure what to do at this point other than just play vanilla skyrim but any suggestions about how I may fix this issue are super super welcome!!

thank you for your attention in this matter

Hey everyone I have been trying to get into Linux, I predominantly tried Mint and haven’t really branched out.

Used Linux on/off for 2 years but in month blocks where I get a little frustrated but genuinely want to move full time.

I am back on Windows 11 currently as my keyboard started acting weird while gaming. I mainly play World of Tanks and it was basically driving the tank itself 🙈🙈

I really want to stick on Linux but would love some advice on what to use other than mint. I have listed my system below

CPU: AMD 5600X

GPU: AMD 6700 XT

RAM: 32GB DDR4

Looking forward to hearing your guidance 😊

• 1:1 Manual Physics: No "E" key to fix. No canned animations. If a human can do it, the player must do it. This applies to Manual Soldering, Delidding, and Bolting.

• No Data Dissipation: Every metal shaving from the CNC, every leaked drop of coolant, and every fried Apple M-Series chip stays in the persistent 16GB RAM world until physically decontaminated.

• The "Linus" Failure Logic: Live-swapping RAM or pulling a GPU while the system is powered on results in a Kernel Panic or a physical Short-Circuit arc rendered in 12GB VRAM Photorealism.

• Hardware Parity: Using Unity DOTS/Burst, physics are deterministic across Linux (Vulkan) and M-Series iPad/Mac (Metal). No "mobile trimming" for A-series chips.

1. MODES & INFRASTRUCTURE

• Job Sim Mode: Professional certification-based engineering. High-stakes contracts for NASA, Scan 3XS, and Apple.

• Sandbox Mode: Total freedom. All tech (Dyson Swarm, Nuclear Reactors, RTX Pro GPUs) is unlocked from Day 1, but you must still manually build every component from the silicon up.

• The Scan Warehouse: A 1:1 photorealistic recreation of the Bolton 3XS HQ. Physical picking and scanning of parts with real weight physics.

1. THE COLLAB & POLICY DIRECTIVES

• Official Partnerships: iFixit, LTT, Scan Computers, NASA, Apple, Intel, and Samsung. All official tech is added via Free Technical Updates (No DLC).

• The "Anti-Miku" Environmental Setting:

o Logic: A toggleable "Serious" Lab Directive in the settings.

o Enforcement: When ON, Ciel (the AI) and the Robotic Assemblers identify "Collab/Anime" hardware as prohibited contraband.

o Action: Prohibited items are flagged for Decontamination. You must manually strip the "Teal" shrouds and grind the prohibited aesthetics in the CNC for recycling into "Serious" NASA/Scan components.

1. THE 4-YEAR "SOVEREIGN" ROADMAP

• 2026: Launch Science Simulator: Phase Alpha. Initial focus on Metallurgy (Forging), Chemistry (Stoichiometry), and M-Series Microsurgery.

• 2027: The 3XS Warehouse & PC Building update. Introduction of iFixit Business Toolkits and Bambu Lab/Elegoo 3D printer lineages.

• 2028: The Server & Silicon update. High-end EPYC/Xeon server racks and custom Apple/ASUS modular motherboards.

• 2029: The Type II Expansion. NASA-licensed Dyson Swarm construction and Sub-Light interstellar travel (Relativistic Physics).

1. PRICING & LOGISTICS

• Base Game: £60 (Full Access, DRM-Free).

• Collector’s Edition: £120 (Includes Bambu Lab P1S 1:1 tool STLs and physical lab artifacts).

• The Binding Vow: Zero DLC. Zero Microtransactions. Total Transparency.

This is a idea I have that is very achievable I just need a team of free devs to help me

Hi,

I use Sunshine and Moonlight with my bazzite system. My rig has two screens attached. So when I connect to it via Moonlight I sometimes get the center screen (that is what I want), or I get the side screen (which I do not want). So I took a look into sunshine troubleshooting and the system log there shows the info from the picture. Sometimes Monitor 0 is DP-1 and sometimes Monitor 0 is DP-2 (changes randomly after booting). I can force Sunshine to use Monitor 0 or 1 for casting (Display ID under Video configuration). But those are not always the same Monitors. When I use the DP-1 part (which seems to be static) sunshine generates errors that it could not find the appropriate display. So what can I do to make sure sunshine always casts from the right monitor?

I have a VERY specific problem and I do not even know if the places I’m posting this is really the places to inquire but considering this is one of the largest base of Linux users I can find I figured it’d at least be worth asking

I want to preface this conversation by saying I’m on steam deck using proton qt and protontricks to fiddle around so advice using these tools is best suited for helping me but I am open to any advice using anything from anyone on any Linux distro :)

Some of you maybe familiar with enb and if you’re familiar with it and on Linux you are probably aware of the Linuxversion=true setting

My issue with it is it disables several features of enb to make it out of the box Linux compatible, I want to get the full “windows version” of it running with all the features

I’ve tried a few things like this proxy set up

https://vulgamer.com/how-to-get-enboost-enbseries-working-on-steam-deck/

I’ve also tried the tricks listed in this guide

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/91500

Anyone gotten a set up without using the Linux version? Any help is appreciated!

I just bought a Mobapad Huben 2 for switch and PC play. The controller works under Windows perfectly, but has multiple issues with Linux.

The controller works fine in 2.4/wired mode, but I cannot get rumble to work. I've tried udev rules, xpadneo, as well as something like https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1pja6f0/fix_cosmic_byte_blitz_controller_on_linux_no/ . Nothing seems to get it to work besides bluetooth mode. The problem is buttons are completely messed up with bluetooth. X is left bumber, the start/select and stick buttons dont work at all, triggers are L3 or R3 and the respective trigger button. I can't remap because the start/select/r3/l3 buttons don't work.

Does anyone has any sugestions for this.

Distro: EndeavourOS 6.18.9

Controller dongle id: 2345:e02e

Controller wired usb id: 2345:e065
