For everyone who thought HDR on XLibre was impossible… surprise.
We officially have a working HDR demo on XLibre, running through MPV, and it’s already pushing real HDR10 output. This is the first time XLibre has ever shown true HDR through an actual pipeline instead of theory or mockups.

Demo branch is here:
https://github.com/cepelinas9000/xserver/tree/wip/x11hdr

This is huge for the XLibre project. It proves the core idea:
you don’t need a compositor‑heavy Wayland stack to get real HDR.
The kernel already exposes the right color primitives, Vulkan can carry metadata, and a display server that actually uses them can deliver the goods.

It’s early just MPV video playback for now, but it’s the first concrete step toward full HDR surfaces, game‑ready scanout, and eventually dynamic metadata (yes, including Dolby Vision discussions).

If you want to follow the development or jump into the conversation, the discussion is happening here:
https://github.com/orgs/X11Libre/discussions/251#discussioncomment-15577145

XLibre is about to make Linux HDR real. This is the spark.

I'm trying to play It Takes Two with a friend, who is in a Discord call with me. Whenever I start the Steam Remote Play Together session, it streams ALL of the audio from my PC, not just the game. This makes it so that the guest is able to hear themselves talk on discord, as well as my spotify and other unrelated applications. Remote play has worked flawlessly before on a different PC, so I'm not sure what's so special about mine.

Has anyone else had this issue? After hours of searching, I could only find one support thread mentioning the problem, with no solution.

Specs

OS: CachyOS

Kernel Version: Linux 6.18.6-2-cachyos

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

RAM: 32 GB

WM: Wayland

DE: KDE Plasma 6.5.5

I have two 2tb NVMEs in my system. I’m planning to switch to using mainly Linux, but I want to dual boot, so I can still play games that aren’t compatible. Since I’ve read Windows tends not to play well with other operating systems installed on the same drive, I’m putting it on its own, but I also feel like giving it the whole 2tb is a waste. Can I partition half of that drive for Linux storage without Windows causing any issues?

I just spent some time dealing with a problem, finally got it fixed and thought I'd share in case other people have the issue. The problem hit me playing ME:Legendary, but it appears to have been a problem with the wonderful and totally important "EADesktop" app, so the bug may impact other EA Games.

For reference: I'm on Nobara, fully patched.

What happened: I've been playing through Mass Effect again because I love it, until suddenly yesterday it just stopped working. I'd launch the game in Steam and the EAdesktop app would start to load, then crash. And I could NOT get it to work again
I did all the usual - verified game files, nuked and rebuilt the prefix, tried different Proton compatibility versions, etc. I just could not get EADesktop to work. Even when starting with a fresh prefix and therefore clean install of EADesktop.

My theory:
So the issue appears to be from a recent EADesktop update that was being a pain - even after a fresh prefix, when I went into the compatdata folder I'd see two versions of EADesktop in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts. Neither worked. So the game install files would install the first version, then it would download and apply the updated version, which then dies a horrible death (notably the EABackgroundService.exe process just keeps crashing)

What finally fixed it:
1. Backup your Saves. They're lurking in your compatdata folder (in /home/username/.local/Share/Steam/steamapps in my case) under steamapps/compatdata/1328670/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/BioWare.
The "1328670" is for Mass Effect Legendary Edition. if you're trying to fix a different EA game, you'll need to use it's prefix ID.

1. Delete the entire prefix folder - in my case, I deleted "1328670"

2. In Steam, hit "Play" to start the first-time install. When it launches the EADesktop Installer - CANCEL.

3. Stop the game in Steam. You should now have a new prefix folder created, but without EADesktop installed.

4. Download the latest EADesktop installer from their website.

5. Install this latest version cleanly inside the Prefix. In my case, I just used ProtonTricks to open Explorer.exe (after selecting the game and then the default prefix for it). Once in Explorer I browsed to the download (tucked in my Z:\home\username\Downloads folder) and ran it that way. It then did a clean and non-shit install of the new version, which launched cleanly and shows my game already installed.

6. Quit the EADesktop app. Restore your saved games back into the prefix folder.

7. Reboot on general principle, and because for me it fixed a weird video issue on first launch

8. You should now be able to once again cleanly just hit "Play" in Steam and have the game open as normal and get back to playing.

Hopefully this helps someone else who's discovered their EA game just stopped working.
I wouldn't be surprised if it fixes it in Windows as well (completely removing all EAdesktop installs, caches, files, etc and a fresh install of the latest version before trying to launch from steam)

Hello, I am a pretty big noob to linux and I am having so much trouble with literally one single program.

It is a runescape private server called RSC Evolution. On two separate computers I am working on, one with Mint, one with Manjaro, the game will install fine, run fine, and then after a random amount of time just crash.

I am unsure how to get the specific log for each app, if I am able to, in order to verify what happened.

I would really like to fix this, and play my stupid little game, if possible. Thanks.

DuckRun is a fast-paced arcade chase where classic maze action meets feathered chaos. Dodge enemies, collect power-ups, and sprint through vibrant levels as a fearless duck on the run. Simple to learn, hard to master — DuckRun brings retro vibes with a fresh, quacky twist.

Situation looks like this: whenever I try to join any server on vanilla MC it works just fine (I do have "premium" as some call it). However when I tried joining my brother's server I'm getting error message from screenshot. Server is NOT whitelisted or anything like that. I also seem to be unable to connect to official servers of the modpack (Craft to Exile 2). What could be the problem here?

P.S. No, restarting game/laptop did not work. Yes, there are other people playing on the server. Also. I'm on Linux Mint

Anyone who got either a direct file link, or a way to get the file installed. I’m new to the Linux mint experience and i cant figure out how to get it. My main goal is the lower the debounce time and DPI on my Glorious model D. Important note, the problem is to download the file. Like i cannot find a download to it.

I was using popos but the latest cosmic update broke it for me. I really like the Exodia's UI. My primary use cases are gaming and programming (usually app and website dev) plus studying. Is exodia a good option? What performance can i expect in games and will it be easy to setup for gaming?

I know on Windows it's just a monthly GPU update, and that includes the new game support. But for example, Crimson Desert gets released on March 19th. Windows would most likely get the driver for game support before the game drops or a few days after. When would the same process happen for Arch?

System: Arch Linux, GNOME 49.3 Wayland, Kernel 6.18.6
Hardware: i7-7700HQ, NVIDIA GTX 1050 Mobile (driver confirmed active)
Problem: Random freezes/stutters in Geometry Dash. FPS counter stays high but game hitches. (Proton)
Weird facts:

• With VSync on FPS counter drops visibly
• With VSync off FPS counter stable but stutters persist
• Other heavy games (KSP with mods) run perfectly

Any known GD-specific issues on NVIDIA+Wayland?

Hi I am using Linux Mint.

I recently got Fallout New Vegas on GOG and am using the heroic launcher to play it.

The problem I have is that the game launches but i am only having a video input when I am playing on windowed mode. When I enable Fullscreen (i.e dis-select window mode) the game open with a first initial screen and it minimizes permanently. I hear the Music but no video Output.

Any Solutions?

On Looking in Heroic settings I see following

Wine: GE-Proton-latest

I cant seem to change the proton to a previous version.
