Issue with mouse wheel scrolling input on nobara
When using my Corsair M65 mouse on proton i get erratic scrolling where in menus it struggles to scroll down and springs up again and in games like MGSV the scroll input doesn't work at all unless i scroll out and then in really fast and it works for about 0.2% of a scroll. I'm on KDE Plasma Wayland nobara. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

Help, im new to Linux
I am trying to download emudeck on here and I did so successfully and then I did something and I Uninstalled emudeck to start fresh and now this. It wont download at all. I need help. Please how do I fix this? This is the latest version of bazzite on a Xbox ally x. And im not sure what else to say, I used these command prompts to uninstall emudeck.
rm -rf ~/Emulation rm -rf ~/emudeck rm -rf ~/.config/EmuDeck rm -rf ~/.local/share/EmuDeck rm -rf ~/.steam/steam/userdata/*/config/shortcuts.vdf
And then I used this to comfirm its gone. ls ~ | grep -i emu
This all coming from a chatgpt command prompts to try to solve this and it didnt work. I feel like this is simple but I don't know anything about Linux or commands to do this without some guidance.

Why is that Left 4 Dead 1 runs faster on Linux than on Windows
Basically, when I switched from Windows 11 to Linux Mint, I reinstalled Steam and the games there. And when I run Left 4 Dead 1 for the first time, I was shocked on how smoothly it runs, compared to Windows 11 Left 4 Dead 1 runs slow. I watched tutorials at YT on how to run Left 4 Dead 1 on Windows 11, and all of them don’t work. So I wonder, why is that the case?

Switching to Linux.
Hello I’m a Windows user dealing with repeated system issues, and I’m considering switching to Linux mainly for gaming. I’m trying to understand how well my existing Steam library would run on Linux, and whether Diablo 4 is fully supported. My goal isn’t to ask for general recommendations, but to find out which Linux setups handle gaming stability and compatibility best for this particular use case

How to install a .exe on rpm steam
Im trying to install a .exe onto a game i have on steam but when using bottles i can't access my steam games. Sense i have the RPMfusion steam installed. Is there a way for me to install a .exe patch onto my steam game without needing to reinstall the more buggy wine version of steam. I do have my games on a seperate drive than my boot drive. I flatpak steam didint work in using that other drive and RPMfuison does so I will really rather keep the ram version on sense it's working fine. And not have to deal with the wine version of steam.

Skyrim no longer playing
basics..
System:

CPU:
Info: 6-core model: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 bits
Graphics:
NVIDIA GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti]
Memory

Steam, installed from flatpack
Skyrim, Modded was running with minimal issues. decided I wanted to make some changes, new mods. Removed all the old ones. and removed all the old saves.
Now it will start, then crash out to the desktop again. I have changed the compatibility to several different protons, I have removed the compatdata files and restarted the game. I have gone as far as uninstalling and reinstalling Skyrim. Mods no mods. I have changed the settings to windowed or full screen. I have tired changing the graphical settings up and down the settings.
I tried changing the launch settings (Yes Chat gpt helped me go over the error log)
I have disabled the steam overlay, changed the lauch settings to PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% -nolauncher, and %command% -nolauncher, and even STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/72850 %command%, and in pure despration I even tried SkyrimSE.exe,
This is driving me nuts, It ran mostly ok. a few glitches in the background sure, but it was playable. But now. I get the launcher, then bethesdias name and the games start screen, and then it crashes out..
I have no idea what Im doing wrong here..
Please help...
I have no idea why this is not running.

GemRB 0.9.5 released — Baldur's Gate 2 Enhanced Edition completable for the first time!
There is a caveat though: that game is still marked as experimental due to so many differences compared to the originals.

Tried installing Mass Effect Legendary Edition
Tried proton (hotfix, experimental, GE, DW) and can't get passed this screen. I'm using Nobara Linux, with an AMD GPU + CPU, it works for other games including CyberPunk, GTAV, 40kGladius, etc.

FIFA 14 Curious bug
Hi everyone,
I just installed FIFA 14 on my framework laptop, did so through Lutris and my EA account.
All is good except when I'm in a game, every player at some point falls from injury (something torn, can't say it in English).
I found some yt videos of people having the same problem, but it seemed it was an issue on pirated copies... Mine is through a legit game, so I don't know what to do.
If someone has an idea, I'd gladly take it.
Thank you,
Cheers.

Need help with MangoHud and Mod Organizer 2.
So I cant figure out how to get MangoHud to run with Mod Organizer 2. I tried putting the mangohud %command% into the launch options of the game ( in my case Starfield ) but that doesnt work and if I ask google it tells me that that is all I need to do to get it working.
I also tried putting in in the launch options of the MO 2 Shortcut in Steam but that also didnt work.
Is there something I am missing or is MangoHud not compatible with Mod Organizer 2?

Linux curse????
I have tried multiple linux distros (Pop_Os, Bazzite, Mint) and find myself unable to play games adequately on my laptop (if at all). I have used Steam compatability force options trued recommendations from Protondb but with the exception of a select few games they wont run or in some cased start. My problems seemed to be about dual booting from a shared SSD so i used a saved ssd from a previous laptop and wiped it to be solely for the Linux distros chosen. And is thr only one in my laptop as i hade a single m.2 nvme slot. Most of my games are say ps4 era and older (divine divinity for example) so its not like im running an newer incompatible game (in theory) on my laptop (MSI GF63 thin 11uc). Now while I'm not a programmer or big OS user but it seems weird that I've had so much gaming issues. If anyone has any ideas on how to correct this I'd greatly appreciate it.

I need help with the Cyberpunk on Linux.
Hey guys, I recently switched to Linux (Ubuntu) and downloaded Dota 2, which I had no problems with, just like Terraria. But yesterday I bought Cyberpunk and ran into a problem: my computer just freezes at some point and doesn't respond at all. The only thing that helps is a hard restart. I've already tried everything I know: I lowered the graphics to minimum, used FSR and Proton,I updated the drivers, I also set the limit to 45 fps, but even then the game would freeze at some point, and I had to turn on the power to bring the computer back to life. Could you help me? I'd be very grateful. My computer: AMD RX 6650XT Ryzen 5 3600 Asus TUF B450M Pro Gamin G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 (2×8GB) 16GB 3200mHz WD 500GB SSD
