Why does Wayland stutter so much compared to X11
Hello,
I read a few times that Wayland is apparently better for newer NVIDA GPUs (RTX30/40/50 Series), however I noticed that Wayland gives me a lot of stuttering after some time using a web browser. That's at least when I notice it the most. I have a 240hz monitor and on X11 there is literally no such issue, it feels way smoother.
I have got an NVIDIA RTX 3060 running on CachyOS.
Does anyone else have the same issue or am I the only one?

Void Cargo: demo is out now, first-person cargo hauling on a hostile moon
If you haven't seen it before, Void Cargo is a physics-based cargo hauling game where you fly a first-person lander between remote bases on a hostile moon. You take delivery jobs, load cargo, and try to get it across mountains, fog, wind and hazard zones without smashing the ship into the terrain on approach.
Demo on Steam:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4319290/Void_Cargo_Equilibrium/
If you want a quick look first:
- 5 minutes of uncut, commented footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr8DGx9uUe4
- Teaser trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qzYDVJQMXc
The flight model is on the accessible side, but it still has weight to it. The lander stays upright, so you're managing main thrust, lateral movement and yaw rather than full 6DOF controls. What really matters is mass. Cargo and fuel change how the ship handles, heavy loads make takeoff and landing noticeably rougher, and bad approaches can turn into a scramble to keep the hull intact and the landing under control.
One thing I spent a lot of time on was making flights feel calm right up until they aren't. You can be lining up a normal delivery, then a system fails, the wind starts pushing harder than expected, or a rough shortcut through a hazard zone stops looking clever very quickly. That balance between routine hauling and mild panic is probably the part I like most.
The demo supports Windows, Linux, and Steam Deck. Steam Deck has been my main test device from the start. It plays best with a gamepad, but keyboard and mouse work too.
I also put together a fairly extensive Steam guide that covers a lot of the game, including a few things that go beyond what's in the demo.
If you try it, I'd genuinely like to hear what feels good, what feels confusing, and what gets frustrating for the wrong reasons.
Cheers!

Does anyone remembers this?
I used to play this game a lot. One of the best quality games for linux at the time, before we could start to play on steam with proton.

Spent too long debugging a Steam Deck Lutris issue before realizing the log was already pointing at the problem
I was chasing a Steam Deck / Lutris launch problem and kept looking in the wrong place.
The useful clue was not a random crash line, but this in the Lutris log:
bash Invalid override value compiler,fps

Fedora Gamesir cyclone 2 pro - USB dongle issues
Hi,
I'm having issues with the Gamesir's cyclone 2 pro USB dongle, it gets detected as a new USB device every few hours, the gamepad is actually turned off it's just the USB dongle that is plugged into my PC.
I'm not sure if this is on a exact interval but couple times a day at most.
Getting the USB plugged in sound and popup in KDE kind of annoys me, nothing major but if you have some kind of fix I would highly appreciate it.
--- EDIT:
Taking it out of the USB port is not really a viable solution for me, it's plugged in the back and that would be too much of a hustle.

What gaming laptop would you buy in 2026?
So, I finally want to buy a gaming laptop for my wife and myself and I only want it to have Linux installed, so basically everything needs to be supported.
Is there a gaming laptop with high performance and a great display and also has hardware that supports Linux?

Issues with dual GPU laptop running House Flipper
I have a gaming laptop with 2 GPUs: NVIDIA RTX 3050 and Intel Iris Xe Graphics. I use NVIDIA on-demand Optimus profile. No matter what I do, House Flipper won't start with dedicated NVIDIA GPU, and when I launch it with "prime-run" the game crashes instantly. Any ideas what's wrong?

Heroic launcher to add ability to download proton-cachyos from UI
Is there any mainstream Android tablet (Lenovo, Xiaomi, Samsung etc.) that can run Linux?
I guess that gonna mean being able to unlock the boot loader among other prerequisites.
I need it more for office work than for gaming, but i assume there are probably knowledgeable people here that will know if that is possible.
Thank you in advance

Lag on right Joy-Con in Eden emulator
I didn't notice it while playing Mario Galaxy, but in Zelda Skyward Sword HD the right Joy-Con starts to slow down every so often.
I read that an app called Betterjoy fixes the problem, although it does cause a bit of input lag (It doesn't bother me as long as I fix the other problem), but it doesn't have a Linux version.
I am using Bazzite.

Issue with Outlast Trials and DarkTide
Hello, I am using Arch Linux and have been for awhile. I have tons of games working but I am having issues getting Outlast Trials and Warhammer Dark Tide working. Both of these games are running into a similar issue where I am unable to connect to the game server. Both games have similar logs where they are timing out when trying to reach the game server.
I am dual booting and they work on Windows. The games also work on the Steam Deck on the same network. I can get the games to work if I use my hotspot. I do have Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime installed and I have tried many different version of Proton and GE-Proton.
I am lost and just don't know where to go from here so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Accidentally installed flatpack and DNF steam
Hey, Switched over to linux on home computer in October and then bought a new computer in February.
It appears I somehow have both Flatpack and DNF linux going. I think most of my game are able to be seen and launching steam GUI on the desktop as the flatpack version.
I tried launching steam DNF version in the Menu and I can't see my games (Probably just need to change some settings to see them).
I want to uninstall one of them but when I checked `~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/userdata/` vs `~/.local/share/Steam` they both had recent file updates. Is it possibly using data from both? Should I uninstall DNF as it seems the less used or is there a good reason to fiddle with its configs to see games and then uninstall the other one?
I mainly noticed this after trying to join a steam game of helldivers after using `steam steam://joinlobby....\` that worked on the previous computer.

Forza 5 stuttering, sub-60FPS with 5600X, 9070XT, 32GB RAM, Fedora 43
Hi folks,
Just wanted to get some opinions on this. I've been on a couple of different distros since I got my 9070 XT, but I've settled on Fedora 43 and enjoying it so far. I'm not necessarily blaming Fedora or anything, but I've been sort of disappointed with gaming performance so far. Not sure if I'm expecting too much, and I know I could be CPU bottlenecking. But I'd like to think I could hit a consistent 60 FPS on a game from 2021 with my specs. The result is the same whether I disable RT or not as well.
Let me know any thoughts or tweaks I could make - thanks!
