So obviously the game company would have to choose to use this, but why isn't there (or is there and I'm unaware) a kernel level anti cheat tech built into the kernel already that game companies could choose to use for Linux. Then not only would you not have to install something from some other random company that has full system access, but also there would be an easy option for devs to use to support Linux players. And if it was fully open source it could also be used by Windows so even with no action from the devs a proton translated game would work, or am I way off with that? Kinda like the Vulkan of anti cheat, everything supports it so everyone knows no matter what they choose to run it on, it's there!

Windows 11 is getting almost too heavy to fuss with anymore, but it's a lot of work to install a distro and a bunch of software just to find all the little ways my hardware doesn't work with drivers and games. My primary at the moment is an ASUS ProArt px13.

Is there an efficient way to test how well a distro will work with my games on my device?

When I get prompt to wait for Vulkan Shaders, no matter the game, it runs like shit. If I skip the shaders, I have stable fps, the game runs perfectly.

Helldivers 2 here for example, I have 45-20fps when I wait for the Shaders to load, but if I skip them, I get my normal 144fps.

What's the point of Vulkan Shaders if they make my games running worse?

Hi everyone. I cannot launch any RE Engine game (Resident Evil 2, Resident evil 4 Remake, Exoprimal, etc) with HDR. Yes, HDR is turned on in my monitor settings. I'm using the latest version of KDE plasma in a Wayland session. Other games I've tried with HDR (Doom Dark Ages) work without issue, and I don't even have to set flags for them. I've tried everything so far, including running the game in Gamescope (I've only ever gotten specific games to work on Gamescope). I have an Nvidia 3080ti on the latest drivers. I can provide additional hardware info if needed. I've tried with Proton Experimental, ProtonGE20-32, as well as latest version of CachyOSProton.

These are my launch options for Resident Evil 4 remake:

PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%

When I click in game to switch HDR on, the game says "make sure your monitor is HDR compatible. My monitor flashes the HDR on flag in the top right corner when I launch the game, so I know it's enabled on the monitor and the OS, something has to be going on on the translation layer with Proton? Any advice?

Hey everyone,

I was having issues with my Xbox One S controller on Linux (fresh Nobara install). The controller wasn’t working properly in Steam games, and I couldn’t get it to connect over Bluetooth. Hoping to fix this, I updated the controller’s firmware on Windows.

Now, when I connect it via USB, the controller is recognized by the OS and Steam. I can navigate the Steam interface, but it still doesn’t work in games. The input isn’t registered at all. Bluetooth also still doesn’t work: the controller doesn’t appear in the taskbar Bluetooth menu. My phone can connect without any problem, so the controller itself is fine. xpadneo is installed correctly and Nobara itself states it shouldn't be a problem on their website, so the driver shouldn’t be the issue.

It seems like the firmware update didn’t fix anything and might have complicated the situation. Has anyone else dealt with similar issues, or does anyone know a way to get an Xbox One S controller fully working in Games on Linux after attempting a firmware update?

Not sure if this is the subreddit for it b7t I'll ask anyways. 😏

I recently switched to NixOS and have been looking for a controller that would work with it (or Linux in general). I am considering these two options: 1. 8BitDo Ultimate 2 2. FlyDigi Vader 5 Pro

From what I've read online, the Ultimate 2 has decent support for Linux but I really dont like the ergonomics. The Vader 5 Pro on the other hand checks all my boxes but it seems that Linux support is very lacking.

Can anyone help me decide? Is there some other controller I should consider?

I’ve recently downloaded Linux Mint and tried playing geometry dash on it. It has a lot of problems, like the quality looking pixelated, skipping, and smearing. It doesn’t do this in my windows drive, and I can’t find any fixes. I’m new to this whole thing so help would be appreciated

So I was all great using Lutris for my windows EXEs but I recently found out some of it is vibe coded, and I don't like vibe coding! Plus, it seems like there are just better alternatives. I heard of "faugus" and "portproton". Can somebody recommend a good game launcher pretty please? Thanks in advance.

I saw someone proposing adding per-point V/F curve editing to LACT using undocumented NvAPI. The provided code mostly worked, though I had to correct some strides and offsets for the structs to get it running smoothly.

So, I coded up a more robust backend and a web GUI to do MSI Afterburner-style curve editing. Been testing the undervolting curve on my RTX 5090, and it seems to be working pretty well ( image 1)

Though, there doesn't seem to be a massive power draw difference (even though idle clock is way lower) compared to a LACT "pseudo-undervolt" using a global offset (image 3), at least for my GPU.

Code & Guide: https://github.com/ekojsalim/nvcurve

I’ve only verified this on my personal rig. It could work on other GPUs and systems, but please try this at your own risk! If you decide to test it out, please read the getting-started section in the repo for a quick way to verify things first.

hi guys i manged to run devil may cry 5 with fsr4 on the steam deck using REFramework mod and optiscaler mod then i tried something out i tweaked the config file from dx12 to dx11 and booted the game on desktop mode . optiscaler and reframwork stopped working but i noticed something shocking !

the game looked 500% better on desktop after dx11 tweak .
based on the build ingame upscalling option only no fsr no dlss the difference ia so huge it looked like a different game .

i went back to gaming mode with the same settings and it went back to waterdown version of itself with somewhat blurry textures .

what causing this phenomenon ? and how do i trick the game to render on gaming mode like it does on desktop mode ?

I'm really considering switching my laptop's operating system to Linux because it's a low-performance laptop, but I've heard that multiplayer games that use Easy Anti-Cheat don't work on Linux. Is that true? And if so, is there any way to fix it?

As the title suggests, has anyone able to use the function on a Linux Distro? for me when i click on the purchase button it loads then goes back to the BP. Im quite new to this OS. I am using Bazzite if a question pops up about it.

Using Heroic Launcher / Epic store to launch the game and play it.

to whom it may concern, as im tired of getting redirected to other subs only to get ignored and posts deleted for "ignoring guidelines", I JUST WANT HELP

I have officially defected from windows to Nobara official. The main troubles Im having are drivers for game capture and Multi RTMP by SoraYuki. Im not an expert as Im new to Linux (just spent an entire day trying to learn how to tweak games to work properly) but Im not seeing a way to get these things to work anywhere on the forums. I got the capture card because it was the only card that could capture console gameplay at 4k 60 with no issues even though I knew it wouldn't be Linux compatible. But I did originally run the card through the OBS plugin instead of the app, so Im thinking there could be a loop-hole somewhere? Multi RTMP seems simple enough as the way i saw it used on windows was less of an app and more of an actual plugin so I figure it would be easy to install... but again Im struggling to find a flatpack version because the default is a windows .exe instead of flatpack.

So I did some research on different package managers as I just recently transitioned to linux from Windows and the first thing that got my attention are package managers like APT, pacman, XBPS etc.

From what I learned, they are basically app stores that u can download your applications from. Unlike Windows and Mac where u download the applications on the website itself, you complie the packages and install them into your system.

So whats the benefit of doing this instead of just downloading the web version like Windows?

And people have also shared different opinions about different package managers, Debian APT being more stable than Arch pacman and Aur and Xpbs being super fast and lean. I am currently using cachy os and I don't really see any stability issues. Also being stable like APT means, your software wont be updated often?
