Holy crap this finally fixed the HDR on my LG27GS95QE. For the longest time i was fighting dim picture or peaks not reaching high enough. Colors ending up weird sometimes. Digging and digging i find an article on KDE's tonemapper not agreeing with Windows applications like games. On W11, all of the HDR data is given through the source. KDE will tone map over this and not be accurate. I set a global environment variable to turn off the tonemapper and let my LG WOLED handle it and have default values in KDE's calibration. Just popping into you tube to watch an HDR video is SO much better. I'm actually getting an impact from the contrast and peaks. There before but weak and not nearly as impactful. IDK why KDE chooses to do this and it may be reliant on the panel and how it tone mapps. This panel, the LG 27GS95QE handles HDR tone mapping internally, aiming for a 4000-nit tone curve by default, but it does not support HGiG (HDR Gaming Interest Group) or source-based tone mapping. I think KDE's mapping was holding back my MLA lenses or something in its curve. Its like i got a new monitor again.

I originally made this for Steam Deck, but the bug and the fix also applies to desktop Linux as well (if you're using Steam), so I figured I post it here:

If you ever wondered why Steam release of Psychonauts 1 (Windows version) running on Steam Deck never displayed Xbox button prompts (despite having official Xbox gamepad support), and kept losing control bindings whenever you re-launch the game, this fix is for you:

https://github.com/jdaniellee/psycho_fix

README also explains what was happening in the game that messed up Xbox inputs, in case you're curious. The fix was only tested with English version and I have no idea if it works on other regional versions. Anyways enjoy!

These are my specs. If for whatever reason the image doesn't load, my specs are:

MSI PRO-B550M-VC-WIFI (Motherboard)

AMD Ryzen 5 5500 (CPU)

Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB (GPU)

SK Hynix 16 (2 x 8 GB; RAM)

Linux will be installed on a Samsung 980 PRO NVMe SSD (1 TB) and for emulation & multimedia they will all be on a backup drive that can be accessed by both Windows and Linux.

I have Windows 11 on my SATA SSD but I'm going to install Linux on my NVMe SSD (I want Linux to be my main OS; Windows for anything Linux can't do) but I'm not actually sure where to start or what distro to choose. I was considering Arch but I'm a beginner, not that I think I won't have any trouble with it but from what I understand it's completely up to you to maintain it, and I don't think I'm up for the task. Mint was another one but folks said it's not really up to date compared to like Ubuntu. Fedora's cool, dunno anything about it though.

As far as games go I don't really think I've played anything past 7th gen with a few exceptions. A good chunk of my games will be played via emulation with most being capped at 6th gen (PS2, GC/Wii, Dreamcast and older). This is my first rig that can support PS3/360 emulation, so I plan to do that as well but idk how often I'd go at it. Of course there are some PC ports such as SM64, SMB Remastered, Sonic 1-3 PC ports, SRB2, etc that I'd like to play, but other than maybe Sparking Zero/GTA V I don't believe these games have anticheat.

Also, whichever distro I choose, what do you recommend I install right away in the terminal (or online) for a better user-friendly experience?

Hi all,

I’m trying to force DLSS 4.5 to use Preset M instead of Preset E in Silent Hill 2 remake running on bazzite.

GPU is an RTX 5080 and I’m using Proton with NVAPI enabled. I’m also running Gamescope with HDR enabled.

My current launch options look like this:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER=1 PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_DLSS_INDICATOR=1 gamescope -f --hdr-enabled -W 3840 -H 2160 -- %command% -dx12

I’ve also tried OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=13

The issue is that DLSS always reports Preset E in-game, never Preset M. The override doesn’t seem to apply at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

My CPU is an Ryzen 7 8700G under 30% use and my GPU is an Radeon RX 7600 under 50% use, I got these temps playing subnautica below zero and cyberpunk.

Thanks!

When Covid hit I got into destiny 2 on PC. After 3,000 hours I moved onto 1,800 hours of Helldivers 2 and about 900 of Darktide. Helldivers pushed me to Linux since it runs way better on Linux. I don't play destiny anymore and I can't on Linux (so dumb).

I'm growing a bit tired of Helldivers and darktide and am looking for another multiplayer game that I can play ideally on Linux.

I don't like pvp extraction shooters or anything anime for games (of course I watched dbz though don't worry).

I liked Abyssus but the population is so small I can rarely find teammates.

I've tried to play single player games but I swear they have this empty lonely feeling to them. I did love Alan Wake 3 and am trying to push through the Crysis series, avatar, and I'll do death stranding maybe next.

Any multiplayer games you'd recommend? I have top en hardware so running it on Linux from a performance perspective is not a problem.

Hi r/linux_gaming,

Data post. I run DeckAlly, a handheld gaming database that cross-references Steam Deck Verified status with ProtonDB ratings and live deal prices. Useful for Linux/Deck users who care about compatibility confidence before buying.

Tonight's filter: Verified or Playable status + ProtonDB Platinum or Gold + active price ≤ $20 + discount ≥ 70%.

All Verified, Proton Platinum:

Game Price Off ProtonDB HLTB inbento $0.69 86% Platinum 3.2h Assemble with Care $0.79 90% Platinum ~2h Swordship $0.79 96% Platinum session Wall World $1.04 85% Platinum 11.8h Slaycation Paradise $1.09 93% Platinum 5.9h Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts $2.35 92% Platinum — Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition $2.99 90% Platinum 25.4h Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective $8.24 73% Platinum 12.1h Resident Evil 2 $8.39 79% Platinum 8.8h

Verified, Proton Gold:

Game Price Off ProtonDB HLTB Human Fall Flat $1.85 91% Gold 6.3h Devil May Cry 5 $6.29 79% Gold 11.2h

The Platinum list is particularly useful for Linux-native distro users (not just Deck) — Platinum means hundreds of community reports with consistent "works perfectly out of the box" verdicts.

Is anyone else experiencing random crashes in Hunt: Showdown recently? This wasn’t happening before. I’m not sure if it started after a recent update or something else, but now the game just crashes at random times, even in the lobby. What’s even worse is that the reconnect feature in the game is broken

While playing a few games freeze my PC entirely Sometimes it happens at a certain point (For example City skylines every time I try to make a new town it freezes) and sometimes completely randomly. They're not instantly freezing but gradually first the whole PC drops to 10 fps after a few seconds to 1 fps until I have to reset the computer Manually. For now the games that froze my pc include:
Minecraft
Everwind
City skylines
I have 16Gb of ram and an RX6600

How can I solve this issue I've been using linux since like 2 weeks so I don't have to knowledge to verify the problem myself.

I've been streaming this game for the last two weeks and it's been a blast. Worked fine under CachyOS, even better under Pika but that's likely since I know Debian based distros more. Great game by Breakfall Studios. Deliver pizza in a mech while laughing at parody characters and a zany storyline.

Since using Reshade for basic tweaks on colors is genuinely too annoying (at least for me, plus, backing up every game config is a bit a pain in the ass), I made this vulkan layer for color grading (brightness, shadows, hue, rgb, saturation, vibrance, contrast, gamma, etc.) that has real-time reloading, so you don't need to restart the game, and well its super lightweight.

But since well, Vulkan is Vulkan, i'd really appreciate if someone could test it on their end and leave a feedback :p

To me it seem risky and the game work fine without it. Game is battlefront 2 (2018)

While I know partitioning is a very personal affair, I would like to ask for ideas on the partitioning scheme of my 1 TiB Gen 4 NVMe SSD.

My current rig is

- MSI B550-A Pro

- 32 GiB DDR4 at 3200MHz

- 5700X3D

- Radeon RX 6700XT

- Gen 4 NVMe 1TiB

My starting idea is to use Logical Volume Management (LVM), where I would to try a few different base OSs.

In my current install of CachyOS, I was lazy and formatted the NVMe to use the same partition. I don't like that.

Furthermore, I would like to have the ability to try different OSs and have my user in each of them to share the same /home/${user} mount. And have a dedicated swap partition.

I would like also to have a dedicated device mounted as /home/${user}/games where I can put my SteamLibrary. I could get another NVMe for my motherboard, but it only has one Gen 4 NVMe bay and getting a 1 or 2 TiB Gen 3 NVMe does not seem like the best approach to me because I am setting up a NAS in my network where I want to use to store the documents on my /home/${user} over at a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet connection.

What would you suggest in this scenario?
