Hello I have recently built my first computer

And I am getting issues with the WiFi

I have a gigabyte z790 aorus pro x wifi 7 as motherboard, with a Intel® Wi-Fi 7 BE200 as integrated WiFi

And I have a issue with the WiFi: sometimes it randomly disconnects

How I can fix it? Does intel offer a Linux driver for this WiFi chip?

The only logs that I get at boot are

iwfi invalid buffer destination

Hello everyone, I recently switched from linux mint to opensuse tumbleweed and I get an error in the game Last Epoch LE-52 Cannot connect to login server. I didn't have such a problem on Linux Mint. I think it has something to do with the opensuse Tumbleweed firewall, how do I disable it?

There seem to be several options here. Why is SuperTux not a native game on Mint?

You can read the 104 report below with the link but the main thing is:

" The global Linux Operating System market size was valued at USD 5200.0 million in 2021 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 19.04% during the forecast period, reaching USD 14800.0 million by 2027 "

Do you think given the fact linux has hit 4% 2024 recently. Linux will hit 19% by 2027?

I'm running OpenSUSE Aeon here.

I play some really old Windows games like Close Combat on Lutris that don't support HiDPI natively. Changing 'Enable DPI scaling' on Lutris dosen't help. On Windows, there is an option 'Overriding DPI scaling behaviour' that can fix this. Is there any Linux equivalent that can override HiDPI settings for old Windows games that don't support HiDPI?

I did some performance testing and discovered that some games ran slower than what they used to. After investigating this, I could conclude that this is a result of running Mesa versions past 23.1.9. A lot happened between that and the next release, so it's difficult to pinpoint exactly where in the code the culprit is.

Is there anything that can help me in this endeavor? E.g. a way to compare compiled shaders from one version to another.

I'm using an RDNA2 iGPU, for what it's worth.

So, as someone who wants to have some interest in developing for Linux (but probably never will 🤷‍♂️), I’ve been thinking on the solutions that I could have to distribute a game executable in a way that even the stupidest Linux user would be able to run without a problem. I have a few ideas that I thought about:

1. The best solution I can imagine would be have an executable with all non-system dependencies (aka anything that’s not Xlib, Vulkan, others) statically linked, and, that can be moved anywhere and executed (just like .app folders on macOS). That would probably mean all the game assets would have to be linked in the code, possibly creating a big .o with the archive that would be referenced by the executable. But that means the entire thing would be loaded in memory at startup, no? Or is there a way to “lazy-load” an executable?
2. I heard a lot of AppImages, snap, flatpak. They solve the same problem, I’ve used AppImages before but I had trouble finding how to create a ready AppImage for distribution (that’s no excuse, I know, but it seems an AppImage requires creating a partition?? Like a .dmg/.iso?). Don’t know about the other methods, but they seem to have uses for distribution systems.
3. Or simply an “executable”/“resource” separation, just like I saw Tibia doing before. Basically the exe and the resource files are separate. I remember having to deal with the problem to find where the exe is to locate the resource files which, surprisingly, was less trivial than I thought it would be.

For the dependencies, I can either dynamically link everything and assume the user knows how to keep their system well maintained and upgraded, statically link everything I can (which could also help LTO if I compile everything myself), or manually load the libraries using dl and then telling the user how to install them if they’re not found (way more work).

What do you think of those solutions/ideas? I’m not as versed to the (modern) Linux ecosystem as I probably should be, but those solutions look interesting.

I've been using Linux for the past 8 months now, and I have a record of switching to / using virtual machines with Linux for even longer than that (since 2020). I used and still use Windows for a lot of things, mostly work related things though (VMs that manage AD or some other specific software for work).

When I first switched, I would load Windows to play some games, not because they didn't run on Linux but because I had them already installed on the Windows drive. Eventually, I moved over those games.
Then I eventually only loaded Windows to play one or two games because they didn't run on Linux. Eventually they started working with Proton or I quit caring about them (those games in particular).

Recently, some developers and game publishers have made decisions that have made playing their games on Linux impossible or completely not worth it.

​

I an usually very open about the fact that I still use Windows, and will load Windows up to play games when they don't run on Linux but this time, I'm not doing it. In this very specific case, I'd rather not play the game at all even if I did use Windows primarily still because I find it gross that they are blatantly making games incompatible. I hope others will do something similar in protest; not feed into these developers' and game publishers' wishes and load the games up on Windows.

Hi, im currently trying to get gw2 with blish-hud working on the steam-deck, i got it working in desktop mode but wanted to make the process of starting the game easier, now im using the nested desktop and run gw2 with heroic to have the instance with blish-hud seperate from the default. The game is starting and everything works but now i have one problem left:

The mouse is "locked" within the game-window-borders, so when i reach the border of the window with the mouse i cant turn the camera anymore. I have to deactivate the ingame action-cam mode and move the cursor to the other side, then activate the action-cam to turn further.

Is there any way i could prevent this "mouse-locking"? It works well in the "normal" desktop mode. I Basically want to force the mouse in the center of the screen (which usually happens when you activate action-cam mode ingame, wich works in gaming-mode and in the normal desktop-mode with blish-hud, but NOT with nested-desktop-mode and the heroic instance.

I have an Nvidia 1650ti which I have set up to work with shaders in Nvidia X Server settings by configuring it using the instructions found here: https://askubuntu.com/a/1177418/1773220. However, this only works with my vanilla(ish) instance in prism launcher and none of the others, even though the process name (java) is the same. How can I fix this?

It seems like 80% of posts on this sub are either tech-support related or some dev advertising their new game and asking for beta-testers.

From the sidebar: "/r/linux_gaming is not (primarily) a tech-support forum. Please check the FAQ first and keep distro/desktop/should-I-switch questions to the pinned “weekly distro/desktop thread”. Tech-support requests should include relevant details like logs, terminal output, system information." Most of the posts don't do this.

It gets exhausting to see post after post on my front page asking for help with basic stuff that could be Googled, I'm here for news related to Linux gaming, not to be a day care for noobs.

It would be nice if the mods could post regular weekly distro/desktop threads as well, no one wants to post their question in a month old pinned thread that no one is going to check.

ok so I have a very straightforward question, imagine you make a change to your logitech config using the options+ on windows. and then you boot linux and use your logitech device on this OS. are the changes you made still persistent on linux too? or do they only work on windows?

Every tutorial seems to use OpenIV but I keep reading that it doesn’t work on Linux. I really want to install the ECTO-1 vehicle mod

I'm currently looking at gaming handhelds (Steam Deck, RIG Ally, and also the as yet unreleased Orange Pi Neo).

I'd love to get one and run Linux rather than Windows, but the issue I'm having is that I'm not a fan of Steam - my library is increasingly on GOG and I don't want the subpar experience of having a storefront I largely dislike as the main gaming interface. I know I can quite easily play my GOG and other games using Heroic or Bottles either way, but it feels untidy.

From what I can see Bazzite also uses Steam for its main gaming interface unfortunately, and I haven't found a lot of other options.

Can anyone recommend a distro for gaming which is nicely usable with controller only, but doesn't prioritise Steam? Ideally I'd like to be able to skip installing it altogether.

My top games are these: Rocket league - Epic games (I don't have it io steam) Apex legends - Steam Dakar desert rally - Epic games Minecraft - Mojang mc launcher. Some other steam games that I play from time to time.

Is there a way for me to play all/most of these games good, if I transition to Linux Ubuntu or other distro?
