When I add `gamemoderun %command%` to a game's launch options in Steam, the game launches, the performance enhancements kick in, but my joystick becomes completely unresponsive once the game window is active. It's as if the input is being ignored or hijacked.

What i tried:

• GameMode Config: I've checked my gamemode.ini file (~/.config/gamemode.ini). It only contains standard CPU/IOPrio settings. There are no options related to hardware input or USB management.
• Without GameMode: If I launch the exact same game without `gamemoderun %command%` in the launch options, the joystick works perfectly fine.

I do a lot of modding and this would come in extremely handy.

I am very used to Unix/GNU env, been using it for work since 2012, from Ubuntu to OpenSUSE, trying Fedora and Manjaro as well. But my last experience with gaming on linux was early 2010, using Wine and POL.

Here is my specs :

• Ryzen 9950X3D
• 64GB DDR5 6000MT (4*16)
• ASRock X870E Nova Wifi
• Nvidia RTX5090 FE
• SN770 2TB
• SN850X 4TB

Should I go the usual route of installing Ubuntu/Mint and start from there, or should I go with a gaming oriented distro (Pop_OS, Bazzite, Cachy) ?

Hello guys. Another fed up user of Windows here that is on the verge of switching to Linux. But I was never on Linux so I have 4-5 questions.

My PC has the following specs

Ryzen 7 5700X3D Rx 9070 XT Nitro+ Nvme 1TB for the OSanf apps NVME 2TB for games 20TB Hdd for backups, movies via plex etc 64GB DDR4 3600

After watching like a billion YouTube videos, I am between Bazzite and Zorin OS. I don't play online games with the exception of World of Warcraft. I play mostly on Steam (like 90% of my games are there) but I do have many games on battle.net, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar Launcher, GoG that I don't wanna lose. So my questions are

1. Is my hardware OK? Will I have any compatibility problems? Are there drivers and will the OS use their full power?

2. I know steam is, but are the other launchers available? I saw a few videos about faungus launcher, lutris etc but most videos were about OK it is running. But does the launcher and games run well? Will I have probl3ms in wow, cyberpunk and assassins creed to mention few from multiple launchers?

3. What about apps? I don't use Microsoft or Adobe apps but I am a heavily Google User. Will I have access to Chrome and Google drive (the rest I use on browser)?

Yes, I know you probably answered these questions a trillion times and I am sorry about asking them again. Thank you in advance for any answers

Hey everyone! Windows user looking to switch over to linux, but confused about all the distros and. My situations is:
- CS student, who is gonna go into DevOps(a lot of bash scripting and I really wanna get comfortable working with linux)
- Plays games like cs2 and dota2(90% of what i play) and some small co-op/multiplayer games or AAA titles like God of War
- Running my pc on AMD gpu and cpu.

What distro should I use? Should i go with the more classic ones like mint or ubuntu? I've also heard about arch a lot(but don't really know anything about it) and bazzite because i looked up about gaming on linux.

I'm open to any suggestions. I'm planning to keep one of my ssds for windows, so i can play some of the AAA titles or run windows specific programs for my hobbies. As long as I can play cs2 and dota2 without a performance hit or minimal on linux, i'm okay with it. I've been planning on learning to get comfortable working with linux for a while now, and i'm getting fed up with microsoft and windows, so i think this is the right time to switch over. Thanks for the advice!

gamescope is a great compositor for gaming developed by Valve. I’ve had issues running gamescope on top of Hyprland, so I had the idea to run gamescope on another TTY to play my favorite games.

I’m still unsure if there is much performance benefit over just running the game in Hyprland. It probably depends on the hardware from PC to PC. Either way, this little program I wrote lets you choose which monitor you want to game on, what odd resolution you want to use (I like 4:3 stretched in some games), and what refresh rate you want to target.

I always found it a bit annoying to run gamescope by itself, so the goal here was to make that as painless as possible: no desktop environment, no window manager, no extra compositor. Just gamescope, Steam, and the game.

Might change the name.. lol.. my wife just told me it looks like I'm trying to say "smutty".. going to keep it for now but maybe a name change should be done... I'd like to keep the command the same as the name though so any suggestions would be great.

Does anyone else have GPU spikes when gaming on Wayland?

I installed Mafia: Definitive Edition on Pop!_OS a while ago and nearly finished the game with no issues—everything ran great. Then I decided to try Hyprland. I installed it, had some fun, and later reinstalled Mafia DE. That’s when the problems started.

My GPU began whining nonstop and was pulling around 80–85W while only showing 30–40% usage. I tried limiting the FPS, but it didn’t help. For some reason, on Pop!_OS it worked perfectly out of the box, but on Hyprland and EndeavourOS (Plasma/Wayland), it doesn’t. I can't play with such nois

What is the major difference for me to feel those changes?

I’m running the game through Heroic Games Launcher. My setup: RTX 4060 Ryzen 5 7600 32GB RAM 1TB Kingston NVMe SSD

So I am curious what settings should I use on heroic launcher to get the maximum performance I could. I use EndeavourOS, gnome, wayland.
Should I use ntsync and how do I enable it? Will I need to disable fsync and esync in heroic settings?
Do I need to enable vsync or is it better to just cap my fps at 140? Should I cap fps with in-game settings or in heroic launcher? (I cap fps to lessen the noise from my laptop)
Which proton should I use? Proton-GE/Proton-cachyos or maybe something else?

Thanks for any help.

I'm broke so my computer is a 2013 imac however it uses a 755m GeForce gpu is that good enough? It ran decent on a lightweight version of windows 10 (enterprise ltsc) will it run better or the same on cachyos or is it too old for the distro

Hey, everybody! I'm a senior in high school about to buy a new (for me) laptop and I plan on installing Linux once I buy it. I also have no previous experience with Linux. I've been wanting to get out of Windows for a while. The laptop I'm buying is an HP ZBook 15 G6 with a Quadro RTX 3000 GPU and an i7 CPU. I was just wondering what the best version of Linux is to run both games (such as Final Fantasy 15) and any applications that I might need for college.

I use Linux and had this having, I used to fix it by exit Steam and then re open it and my wishlist will look normal, yet this time it will stay like this what ever I did.

I was curious, aside from anti-cheat, what things that are currently a PITA for you to deal with if or when you have developed for Linux. Is it easier than Windows? Or does Wayland or other Linux related things make you want to have your legs ran over by a train?

Hello all, I recently did the switch from Windows to Linux (Cachyos and KDE) and there's one problem I've spent the last week trying to fix that I can't find any solution.

Is there any way to keep battle.net open and have my pc go inactive/sleep?

Currently i use Heroic Launcher for battle.net. I tried Lutris and it has the same problem. I have bottles installed, but i would prefer to not use it.

I know I could just close battle.net after I launch a game so my pc would go to sleep/inactive once I'm done gaming, but it gets annoying when I play Diablo II I have to change server for trading.

The big problem other than the fact that it keeps my PC active, is that I don't receive push notification from discord.

systemd-inhibit doesn't show battle.net in the list, so it seems that it keeps my pc awake in the same way moving my mouse or using my keyboard would?

The author is no longer maintaining it and I'd very much like to find a replacement so I can manually manage my fan curves.

Thank you!
