Controller works for some games and not others
I'm genuinely flabbergasted right now. Ive been on Linux mint for a while now and for some reason my Xbox controller won't work on some steam games. My controller is detected in steam. It will say "your Xbox controller is supported/ partially supported" I will click settings and see options to tweak my controller however 3 games are the exception as of right now. The Kingdom hearts games, and spiderman miles morales. I will click that view options button and the box stays empty. Attached are 2 of the games that aren't working and 1 game that works. Any advice to fix please!

Just my initial impressions after moving my 'ROG Ally Z1 Extreme' across to SteamOS!
Featuring 'Fantasy VII Rebirth' because its a hot mess on any platform outside of PS5 usually 👍🏻
Just my initial impressions (as a Steam Deck user of nearly 4 years) of the SteamOS and gaming experience on the Ally Z1E after a few days of use.
Very impressed overall so far I have to say! The VRR implementation is just amazing 🙏🏻

Steam games not launching from secondary NVME
I have steam installed on my main drive. But I have my games installed on a secondary NVME. I'm not sure what I did exactly but after attempting to use the pikdun vortex manager and failing, games that are on that secondary drive don't launch. I ran Steam from the terminal and will paste the output below. I can launch them by doing either of two things 1) Move the game to the primary drive or 2) change the default proton layer from Proton Experimental to something else. I've been using the default Proton Experiemental that came with my installation. But for troubleshooting I usec cachyos_proton. I'm not against doing one or the other if absolutely necessary. But I'm hard-pressed to believe I should have to do that in this situation. I'm using cachyos. From CachyOS Hello I learned you can reinstall all packages. So I decided eff it and did that but it didn't resolve the issue. I also saw that I could just reinstall Steam. So I did that and what appeared to be a few tangentially related packages. I ran steam from the terminal and pasted below what happens when trying to launch RE9. Cyberpunk 2077 does something similar. I also tried verifying game integrity as well as uninstalling and reinstalling some games. I also downloaded the RE2R Demo since that hasn't been on my computer yet and the same thing happens as the previous games. Any advice is appreciated.

Upgrade from 2060 Super - RX 5700 XT or RX 6600?
I recently switched to linux and want to switch to team red as well. Currently I have an R5 5500 and an RTX 2060 Super. My 2 AMD GPU options are either the 5700XT or the NON-XT 6600. So, which one should I get? Currently I'm thinking I should get a 5700XT. Any help is appreciated.

Mouse not disappearing correctly
Specifically for Minecraft, was about to go through another 2 week phase but I have a very frustrating bug where the mouse won't disappear when closing menus.
Fedora 43, GNOME 49, Wayland
I originally tried to launch from Modrinth, and after this issue popped up I searched for an answer and found 3 solutions:
- Turn off raw input
- Check a box to use my system's installation of GLFW (had to switch to Prism to enable this)
- Use something called "gamescope" with some cursor flag in the wrapper command
None of these worked, and I couldn't figure out how to get it to even launch with gamescope.
Although I can get the mouse to disappear by alt+tabbing or moving my mouse off the screen before closing a menu, this is such a pain to do since menus are opened constantly.
Any help is appreciate.

Heroic Game launcher not launching any games from Epic or GOG
Have Linux Mint and installed Heroic from the Software center. I have the latest version.
Tried 3 different games;
Two Point Hospital
Yooka Laylee
Bioshock 2
None of them work. They all launch and then immediately close.
Tried disabling Umu, using Proton GE-Latest, tried changing prefix name to _bak, tried setting up alternative .exe path, tried adding and launching through Steam.
Nothing works.
Is there any game that is known to just work right out the gate that I can try if I have it?

Is this performance normal with this specs? (Elden Ring)
I've had this computer for months now and other games have run well, some better than others but generally fine. It was with Elden Ring that I started wondering if something was misconfigured on my laptop, if it wasn't good enough for ER or who knows what. These are my laptop's specs (I'm on Fedora KDE Wayland to X11, in case that's relevant,).
AMD Ryzen™ 7 7735HS Processor (8/16 cores, 3.20GHz up to 4.75GHz, 16MB Cache)
16GB DDR5 RAM (1x16GB) 1 Free Slot
1TB PCIe NVMe SSD Storage
15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz SlimBezel Display (1920 x 1080)
NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4050 6GB GDDR6 Graphics
At most the frame rate reaches around 50 fps, but rarely reaches 60, and it doesn't last long.
Feel free to ask any other questions; I'm quite new to Linux and don't know much so be nice to me pls : )

Vesktop has stopped function properly - screenshare, plugins, etc
Yesterday, all worked fine. I was screensharing with friends, I was using plugins as normal.
Today, all of that does not work.
The primary errors I see are that plugins do not exist on vesktop, and that screenshare allows me to pick my video source, and then does nothing. Usually it then asks to pick an audio source.
I'm using a KDE environment on PikaOS, and I'm very, very new to linux as a whole. I don't understand what broke, because I didn't do anything to it to make it stop functioning.
Not sure if this is the right subreddit but I saw a similar post from a year back so I figure this is where I'd do it, since this is gaming-adjacent for me for stuff like archipelago randomisers, where we like screensharing to each other.

Software for Chinese mice for example Zaopin z2
I'm looking for a way to configure and see battery indicator on Linux for Zaopin z2 and potentially other chinese mice. I have used web driver but I would love to see my battery indicator in taskbar.
Any help or pointing towards the right GitHub repositories would be appreciated.

Finally figured out head tracking in MSFS 2024
Note that I have not calibrated it yet, which explains any weird jumps and weird movements in the video.
I'm not about to write a wall of text, so long story short, I'm using my Galaxy Fold 7 as the head tracker with DroidCam and Opentrack on my desktop which is running Fedora. I finally managed to get it to work without crashing every 15 seconds after a bit of trial and error. If you have any questions, then feel free to fire them at me.

LACT v0.9.0 is out - now offering (unofficial) undervolting support for Nvidia!
Release: https://github.com/ilya-zlobintsev/LACT/releases
Changes (among other stuff):
UI Update
Nvidia Voltage-Frequency Curve Editor
Nvidia target temperature setting
AMD Hardware blocks information reporting (#942)
Better Flatpak service reliability (#902 and a few others)
I just read the announcement and haven't tried the new features yet. As always, I'm amazed what the author(s) have pulled off though. The previously impossible undervolting for Nvidia being an impressive feature in itself.
Since this concerns running your hardware out of spec, be aware that instability and/or damage are possible! Use it at your own risk.
Feel free to report back how it works out for you. :-)

How exactly do I launch another EXE while the game is running with Proton-GE?
I cannot launch another EXE (trainer, save game editor, mod manager, etc.) while the game is running with Proton-GE. Only one EXE can be launched at a time within the same prefix. This is a problem for both Lutris and Heroic. The "Run EXE in prefix" just does not work. This does not happen with vanilla Proton. AFAIK, this is `umu-launcher` problem(?)
I remembered I used to work around that using `protontricks` but I cannot remember how, or find the instruction again. Please help.
Thank you.

Fedora 43 KDE: Retro Fighters Hunter Controller doesn't work properly
Just installed Fedora 43 KDE. Currently trying to see what I can run on Linux, but I'm having some issues:
PCSX2 - Controllers works properly but right analog right doesn't work and doesn't get recognized by mapping
Dolphin - doesn't recognize the right analog stick at all
Retroarch (installed by Flatpak via official website or through terminal using "sudo dnf install retroarch") - Does not recognize controllers regardless of Driver settings.
I have a DualSense controller that works perfectly fine (so far) without any issues. I would prefer to use my Hunter Controller but until this gets fixed I can only use my DualSense on here. It's also worth noting that unlike DualSense, I believe the Hunter Controller is NOT Bluetooth 🥀 I think it uses 2.4GHz. The controller also works perfectly fine on Windows 11.

Lunar Client on CashyOS (Arch)
When I tried to launch the game in Lunar Client (1.8.9) it crashed with the error code "null".
Fix:
I had to download the Vanilla Launcher, i used this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cGrVOhrexw
Even there it crashed with the Error Code 255 so I found some guy (TileEntity) who said that I needed to install lxrandr
sudo apt update sudo pacman -S lxrandr
Launch game and pray
This worked for me but I have honestly no idea what I have done exactly or what those commands even mean. Maybe you don`t even need step 1, idk

Do I REALLY need to format my external drive to ext4 to run Windows games with Wine/Proton saved on it?
If so, can I partition half my external drive as exFAT and half as ext4? I really do need it to work as a storage device that I can use with other operating systems (mostly photos, videos, documents, etc). My games, I just need to run on my (hopefully soon) Linux machine.
Thanks!
