I've recently been watching this video guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9C5G5GKd5Y, which massively helps me with the git hub download of the Mod Organizer 2 for Skyrim https://github.com/Furglitch/modorganizer2-linux-installer?tab=readme-ov-file (I know there's an upcoming Nexus Mod Manager, but I prefer to use MO2). As I'm going through the installation, some of the prompts had be wonder which exact options should I choose.

Yes, I want to use the Skyrim Script Extender. When I did it on Windows, I downloaded it from another site. Does this option automatically install that? Are there better ways to get SKSE64 on MO2?

Plugin Half 1 (which ones should I choose? I hope to get LOOT installed for Load order help)

Plugin Half 2 (which ones should I choose? I hope to get LOOT installed for Load order help)

Should I click \"yes\"?

I'm sorry to bother you guys. But I really could use some advice, especially as someone still learning the ropes of Linux. I'd be grateful :)

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using Nobara for a while and really enjoying it, but I just saw the PSA that NVIDIA is dropping support for the 10-series and older (Maxwell architecture) with the upcoming 590 drivers. Since Nobara has confirmed they won't be supporting legacy driver branches, my GTX 970 is effectively on unsupported.
I’m a student on a very tight budget, so upgrading my GPU isn't an option right now. I need to keep this 970 running as long as possible.

Which distro would you recommend that makes it easy to pin/stay on the NVIDIA 570/550 legacy drivers while still being good for gaming?

Ok i tested many versions of linux and they worked great to install with no problems but nobara is the only version that i installed and after install doesnt show the linux in grub menu (appears only my windows 11).

I tried catchy os, pop os,linux mint,fedora, ubuntu and so on and this is the only version that i have problems:(

Any ideas?

The open-source voxel game creation platform Luanti (formerly Minetest) version 5.15 was recently released with an assortment of upgrades.

I’ve been reflecting on the handheld experience and realized that boot times feel much more critical on devices like my ROG Ally than on my desktop. While I love Bazzite, that 30-40 second wait creates a bit of "mental friction" compared to the near-instant wake of a Switch or Vita, often making me hesitate to turn it on for a quick session. I’m curious if this is an inherent trade-off of using a full PC OS on a handheld, or if there’s a way to bridge that gap to make the experience feel more like a dedicated console and less like a booting computer.

Specifically on my ROG Ally, the startup feels considerably slower than what I see on other devices, and I’d love to know if there are any safe tweaks to optimize this. Are there specific BIOS settings, GRUB timeouts, or background services I should look into to shave off some time? I’m approaching this with total respect for the devs and the platform, I’m just trying to minimize the friction for casual gaming. Should I be looking into specific optimizations, or is the consensus simply to rely on Suspend instead of full shutdowns?

Hello i have been looking around some posts asking an alternative to the software Medal. Which allow you to save a replay of your games.

I am using linux for about 2 years now and I have switched to gpu recording for the replay part.

Although the auto upload part is missing when I want to share the replay to my mates on discord for instance.

Because with medal you can ask to upload the replay on their server and it generate a link. Even more you can have a discord bot that post the video to associated discord server's channel. Before uploading the software was also providing a basic video editor to make incrustation of meme or music etc...

It is that upload part that I feel missing. So ok I could make a script to upload the replay to YouTube afterward. But I don't want to go to deep into youtube API, or maybe I'll search another platform to upload to if no alternative is found, like Dailymotion.

AAAAAHHHHHHHH I feel like I have scoured every online resource I can find and still no luck. I have asked several strangers for help and they all eventually give up.

My problems essentially boil down to the following: When I run games, my cursor escapes any time I move my mouse towards my second monitor (ie left, in a dual-monitor setup), or aforementioned games simply refuse to launch.

I am trying to play primarily Valve's Deadlock and Embark's Arc Raiders. Arc Raiders has no problem launching, but it seems to flip between either allowing my cursor to escape OR not allowing me to interact with menus.

Deadlock simply allows my cursor to escape, but here's where gamescope comes into play; I set my launch options to: "gamescope -W 2160 -H 1440 -r 179.877 -f --force-grab-cursor --backend wayland %command%", which should fix things, but then the game refuses to launch until I allow it to let go of my cursor.

I have tried so many different configurations of those launch options (various different backends, forcing fullscreen and then not doing so, including the resolution and refresh rate parameters and then not doing so). Nothing works.

I am on a completely fresh install of Cachy OS, with Niri and Noctalia, and the most frustrating part is that I was running this exact config with no issues until I bricked my last install through sheer incompetence.

I'm close to just disabling my second monitor whenever I play games, but that is so far from ideal and would be likely just as frustrating for me, despite the fact that these games might finally work.

I am relatively new to Linux, though definitely not a complete beginner, and any help that could be offered would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the wall of text, I'm kinda hoping for a miracle.

PS: so far I have only been using gamescope with Deadlock, so it's possible that it could fix my issues with Arc raiders, but I highly doubt it with just how convoluted this whole process has been, and how uncooperative my system has been. (basically I've done more tinkering with/care a little bit more about Deadlock)
