Selaco is easily one of the most promising retro-infused shooters around, and it's going to get a lot better with the Chapter 2 update.

It’s wild why when I try to connect my headphones with mic ends up as the headphone mic input can’t be used at all. After further research I found it’s a Linux issue and you need to use a wired TRRS headset combo etc for this. Am I missing something or is there any way to connect by headphones with mic to my steamdeck. It works effortlessly in windows :/

Forgot to mention via Bluetooth. Wired works I think ( personally haven’t tested )

Long story short, I've been switching between linux and windows all my life, but last 2-3 years were on full windows. Whenever I switched back to windows was because of gaming. Idk why I didn't know this earlier, but as late as 6 month ago I discovered the Steam Deck and Proton (I am always really behind on news). Bought a Deck, saw that Proton is a game changer, than switched on Linux on my laptop.

I chose CachyOS, wanted to try arch for the first time, and CachyOS for reasons you guys already know seemed perfect. But I installed GNOME.

Oh boy.. So i have a 14inch laptop with 2560×1600 resolution. The fonts and icons and everything were really tiny. I needed to upscale to 150%. But immediatly I saw that in games I could only go up to 1700xsomething resolution. Found out that the way GNOME upscales tricks games into thinking my native resolution is lower.

Found out about gamescope, an interesting tool that creates virtual display environments. But I just couldn't make it work. Idk specifically what the problem was, something about Vulkan and NVIDIA.

I stood 6 months like this because I wasn't doing any serious gaming, but as of late, I am. I chose to switch to KDE. Did a fresh install of CachyOS with KDE.

Immediatly when upsclaed I noticed that my screen was much sharper. It's like GNOME's upscaling is just what the games do when lowering the resolution, meaning that everything becomes mushy and unclear because of the lower resolution, while KDE upscaling it's like it mantaines the native resolution and upscales only UI elemenets. Idk technically how these two DE handle scaling, and I don't care, but I know KDE does it much, much better.

And in games? Native resolution. Heck, games even run smoother. I played Dota2 on GNOME at 1700x something resolution and got some stutters every 10 seconds. In KDE no stutters at 2k resolution. I found similar little things also in other games. Same OS, same driviers, just the DE changed.

And KDE is just smoother in general. So, even though I love GNOME, KDE is overall a way better choice for me, especially if I do at least moderate gaming.

Game breaking bug, rendering use of the map impossible

The map screen looks like this on linux native. on top of that the game runs a bit laggy/stuttery without steam linux runtime 1.0 scout. keep in mind the linux port a year ago was considered never going to happen but was released with this latest build.
Occurs in windowed mode, full screen, borderless window.

Works fine in proton however (windows version)

Is anyone else having this issue? I want to see if it's just Nvidia vs AMD or maybe Cachy (arch) vs Debian, or something like that.

Edit: adding -force-vulkan fixed it, and the micro-stuttering. so likely openGL is broken for this game (found unity player in game directory.) or an openGL texture issue.

here are my specs.
OS: CachyOS x86_64
Host: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI
Kernel: 6.16.0-7-cachyos
Uptime: 1 hour, 15 mins
Packages: 1725 (pacman)
Shell: bash 5.3.3
Resolution: 1920x1080, 1920x1080
DE: Plasma 6.4.4 (Wayland)
WM: kwin_wayland_wr
Terminal: konsole
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X (24) @ 5.737GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB

I've switched from Windows 11 to Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon back in July and I loved it, though after sometime I've also realized that some things on Mint isn't as easy as doing it on another Distro, things like turning on VRR/Freesync/etc, enabling gamescope for games, running games that has been "borrowed", and better support for overall things. I was thinking of switching to Bazzite or CachyOS. I've heard good things from both, but which one do you all suggest for me to switch to? And If you can tell me as well, what're the steps to ensure that I switch distros with no problems or erasure of my data/games on my disks? I'm also not an expert in troubleshooting linux via terminal, best I could do is probably install flatpaks, some sudo commands, view system info, and other novice/simple commands, it would help me if the Distro doesn't need much terminal tweaking for troubleshooting, updates, and etc.

Alright tech gaming wizards. We need to find a community answer that I randomly found in a Youtube video comment section that if true. I just want everybody else who has a search emgine can find the answer here in this reddit post.

So, randomly found a comment in a video saying the Sapphire GPro X060 8gb Mining GPU works in Linux for gaming.

I personally know that the Tesla M40 12gb worked in gaming for me back then in Linux Mint with my i5-8400 as the iGPU.

And I know recently the kernel and mesa drivers were updated to let the AsRock BC 250 mining boards(which are repurposed PS5 APU chips with 2 of the 8 cores disabled) become awesome Mini PCs for cheap.

However, I was wondering if we could investigate if the latest kernel or Mesa drivers happen to include the Sapphire GPro X060 Mining GPUs. Cause they are AMD RX 6600 8gb cards turned into mining GPUs. I am just curious is all cause I think this would be another amazing thing in Linux if it is possible.

Sadly, for the life of me, I cannot find this comment. It was in a YouTube video. I was think I was watching ETA Prime or some tech youtube video. Low and behold. There was a comment that stated "X060 Mining GPU" "Working in Bazzite" "No messing around needed". I know it did not go exactly like this. I immediately replied to the comment asking "How? Could you please share this info? This is amazing. Please let me know." And know thanks to the ways of YouTube and probably my tired butt at 3am in the morning getting off my night shift. I can NOT refind this dang comment.

But, I just need to know. Like...how? If possible, awesome! Let us get this information out and let everyone else know. Cause it's great information to know.

If anybody has any insight on this, please let me and everyone else know in this post. Thank you.

my sober crash when I open it

ALLY X / Proton Experimental / Mix of low and medium settings in game

In insurgency sandstorm,

When I join Anything be it the training range or a crowded server... the same exact result is always yielded.

I'm telling you, it's The Same Exact series of events everytime.

I join, say the training range. My fps 10 or 15 seconds in is at 90 or 100. Immediately after those seconds, the fps absolutely tanks to 15 or 20 fps.

After a solid 1 minute or so, it goes back up to 90.

I've complete ruled out:

Changing protons. -tried a whole lot of versions and the issue presists.

Assume its shaders building. -ive entered the training range like 20 times at this point. Same thing everytime.

...

No one says anything about this online.

Someone have a solve ?

Looking for ideas and whatnot.

thinking of getting this one. I want a wireless mouse for how I tend to position it next to my keyboard and around stuff. wires just get in the way and kink up.

my old logitech feels like it's on it's last legs. it's starting to repeatedly disconnect from it's dongle regardless of the distance or it's sensor is malfunctioning.

I currently run an Ally X with bazzite, however, I'm back in school and need to be able to do my classwork more easily than lugging my game, dock, keyboard and mouse around when I visit my sister and mom, which I do at least twice a month for whole weekends. I'm looking into laptops, but obviously I'm sticking with Bazzite over windows (though I'm not counting out another distro, I'm just only familiar with bazzite as a relatively new linux user) and need one that will run linux well.

This laptop would need to handle gaming and photography editing. I mostly play rpgs like Monster Hunter Wilds, FFXIV, and I recently got into Warframe. I play lighter weight games as well, but those are my heavy hitters. If the laptop can run those games at least as well as the Ally X, then I'll be happy. I don't really care if it has a separate gpu or has integrated graphics, since the ally x also has an igpu. Budget is around $1500
