Fallout 4 Proton Intermittent Screen Tearing Ubuntu 24.04 NVidia 3080
All, I've tried every possible solution offered by protondb.com and am still having intermittent screen tearing 3/4th up the top of screen. I am running Ubuntu 24.04 on AMD system using an NVidia 3080 graphics card. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, tried setting "Force Full Composition Pipeline" in advanced NVidia X Server settings, which made things much worse.

Everytime I try opening Roblox studio, it freezes on this.
I tried:
- Restarting my computer
- Reinstalling Roblox studio
- Reinstalling Vinegar
- Switching to X11
- Updating flatpak
- Clearing downloads
I don't really know what to do. It kinda just randomly stopped working...

MelonDS: no sound issue
I had been playing Pokemon Black for over eighteen hours just fine and then a couple days ago an update had the sound stop working.
I've been trying to get the sound working again and no luck.
EndeavorOS.
- It's not the rom because no sound on any roms work.
- I made sure I didn't accidentally mute it in my system's audio settings and in the emulator settings
- Running the game from the terminal doesn't give me information about sound, and said sound is working fine.
- Enabling/disabling JIT compiler had no effect
- I have looked on the internet and found nothing about this
- turning on audio sync just freezes the emulator
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could Running Steam via PopOS Flatpak be Why My Controllers Have Issues Via SteamLink?
I have a Xbox controller which works great with my PopOs via bluetooth when I am playing on my local PC. Games fully compatible with the Xbox controller detect it and work fine.
But when I connect my controller to my SonyTV and connect to my PopOs via SteamLink, nothing I can do to make it detect it as Xbox controller - even with the same game that detected it and worked perfectly locally.
So: I used Flatseal on my PopOs to make sure the Steam-Flatpak had access to my PC's bluetooth... but perhaps when connecting via SteamLink since I am connecting to the Steam-flatpak its creating problems?
Would removing the Steam Flatpak from my PopOs and then reinstalling as a standard DEB possibly resolve the issue?

Really poor performance on battery (20 fps) (it used to not be the case)
Pixel Gun 3D used to give me at least 70 fps constant in one of its maps when playing on battery, but now it runs at 20 fps when there's too much action, with spikes up to 85 when there are not too many efects on screen. The newly ported lsfg-vk doesn't help me that much as it just turns the laggy game into a muddy mess. Even being plugged to the wall doesn't make it above 130 fps (my screen is 165 Hz).
In all the three cases the dGPU usage is 100%. The only thing I remember doing was disabling the GSP firmware as it caused the NVIDIA GPU to completely disappear from the system.
CPU: Ryzen 9 6900HX
iGPU: Radeon 680m
dGPU: RTX 3050
RAM: 16 GB 4x4 at 6400 MT/s

What about Lossless Scaling?(start problem)
A few day ago using lossles scaling became avaible on linux. Thanks this guy for it: https://github.com/PancakeTAS/lsfg-vk .
But I have a trouble. I can't even start Lossless Scaling app though steam, it loading like 20 seconds, and then crashes.
I tried different versions of proton(experimental, GE, hotfix, 7.0), but nothing works.
I use arch linux hyprland.
I tried to run it without starting steam lossless scaling, here is the log:

Whenever I launch a steam game my CPU usage jumps to 100% what can i do to fix this?
Pretty much what it says in the Title, I've got proton turned on for my steam games and the only issue I've ran into has been that they run terribly, less than 1 FPS in the worst cases. I thought at first this was because I was using a bad proton version for the game, what I've since realized is that the actual problem is probably the CPU usage.
I'm new to linux, in all honesty I installed the OS on an impulse thinking I could figure it all out later, but this is stumping me pretty bad. I'm using Linux Mint and Nvidia graphics drivers all installed. Any and all help appreciated.

Fedora WS vs. Bazzite
What am I doing wrong?
The first benchmark is on fedora 42 (gnome) and the second is bazzite (kde) with fresh updates. I copied over the settings of both the game and the launcher. I ran 3 tests in a row on both distros and posted the best. I use proton 10-8, but bazzite is 15% behind.
There must be something obvious that im missing.

Fcitx5 causes long-presses to not work in video games.
This was the OG issue, and this post is after I figured out that the culprit is fcitx5
The issue of course disappears when I close fcitx5, but I'm a native Bengali and I want fcitx5 to be running in the background at all times when I need to quickly switch to Bangla typing.

Any way to fix Left 4 Dead 2's insane crashes when any audio mod is installed?
Running CachyOS on kernel 6.15.5 with a Ryzen 7 2700x and an RX 590 but I don't think hardware or kernel version is the problem here. I have also tried both Steam (Native) and Steam which are installed through the CachyOS gaming meta package but NOT flatpak Steam because getting it to read games off my secondary drive is a bitch.
Model replacement mods seem to be fine and I have read that custom campaigns seem to be okay too- *unless* they replace audio.
I'm wondering if there's any way to fix this(research did not help), as running the game through Proton is not really an option for a few reasons.

How to add Steam games to Heroic Games on Linux
Note: They'll still run through steam, but they will appear in your Heroic library and launch steam and the game from there.
====================== 1. Find the game ID Automatic (Easy)- Get protontricks using your package manager or flatpak
- Use the command line or GUI as the github says. ```bash # Find your game's App ID by searching for it protontricks -s <GAME NAME>
protontricks -l ``` - Copy the game ID and save it somewhere.
Manual (Why?)If it's a Steam Game This can be done through game properties. - Right click the game. - Click on 'properties'. - Click on 'Updates' if present. - Copy the game ID and save it somewhere.
If it's a Non-Steam Game This can be done through file manager. - Go to /home/<Your User>/.steam/steam/steamapps bash cd /home/<Your User>/.steam/steam/steamapps - Grep the appmanifest files for the name of the game. bash grep "<Your game>" *.acf - Game ID is saved after the _ of the appmanifest till the .acf extension. - Copy the game ID and save it somewhere.
2. Make a script that runs it through ID- Run this line while replacing Game-ID and Game-Name. bash echo "xdg-open steam://rungameid/<Game-ID>" > Game-Name.sh; chmod +x Game-Name.sh
- Press Add game
- Choose Linux as target platform
- Add your script as the executable
- Customize as you like and press Finish # ======================
Now games should run from heroic and launch steam. Do note that configuration of the game will be done from steam such as choosing compatibility layer. The purpose of this is to have the library in one place, configuring it however will be from the respective launcher.
This is a thing I do because I love how the Heroic Games Launcher works and looks, and I put most of my library there so it's only steam games that I want to add. You can automate this process with scripts all you like, this is just to help the unfamiliar get ideas as I myself would've loved to see something like this somewhere.
If there is a cleaner way to add steam games to heroic, please let me know. Till then, this is how I do it.

Sober keeps crashing in the middle of a game
I'm on Debian 14 (unstable/sid) with i3wm, and I was trying to use Sober. It worked well for like 20-30 minutes, then the game froze and the whole app closed. I checked btop, it wasn't running in the background or anything, as if it got kill -9'd. Has anyone else faced this problem? I have an intel evo i7 processor with intel iris xe graphics on my laptop.

Has anyone been able to get the 8bitdo Pro 2 to work in Direct Input mode? I'm trying to setup the backpaddles and gyro. Fedora 42, Steam beta
Well, title basically. I know that Steam has had some updates lately that added support for this controller specifically, and it works fine on Windows 11.
On Fedora I can see the correct glyphs for the Pro 2, but doesn´t seems to take any input.
Using Xinput works perfectly, but I loose the ability to config the backpaddles and gyro.
Any ideas?
