I am (was) a proud owner of the Elgato Wave 3 microphone. They stated that the microphone doesnt need at all the software to manage different channels (available on Windows) and it is also Plug&Play.

Unfortunately I found out that both PulseAudio and PipeWire, even detecting the microphone and his channel, do not capture any sound at all. The connected headphones to the same mic get the output of the pc (I can hear discord, games and even youtube videos) but I am unable to speak to someone both in game or in discord.

It is unclear but sometimes plugging, unplugging, changing device and reverting to the microphone seems fix it, but it is not a reliable method since it works once every 100+ times (higher chances using Cinnamon instead of Gnome or KDE).

Anyone had the same issue and has a way (besides buying another mic) to fix this?

Has anyone had any luck controlling their AMD CPU Fan control? I been trying to tweak my temps while gaming,...but I dont see any fan controls for Ryzen 7 5800X

But shows here you have that functionality:

Nightdive Studios have announced their System Shock remake is set for a huge update arriving on April 11th, that will make it a whole lot better for everyone, especially Steam Deck players.

Well, this isn't something you read every day, a platform actually taking steps to be sustainable and not chase constant growth backed by investors.

So i have RDR2 on my Epic Games, i tried to install it via Heroic, it gave me error 134, then i tried to fix it with heatherfix.bat, did not work. Fix i found on this subreddit is 1 year old and bit of lengthy procezs, since we've come a long way in Linux Gaming, is there a better fix now or we have to follow same 2 years old method? Its my first time asking here. Welp! and Yeah Cyberpunk had no problem running through heroic.

Hello Everyone I am currently attempting to get my epic games copy of red dead redemption 2 copy running under Linux. I am using heroic games launcher and have tried proton 8.0 and GE-PROTON9-2. I can get through the initial rockstar installer setup and login but when I launch the game after that it throws an error saying "The Rockstar game services are unavailable and offline play could not be verified (code 134) please check connection and try again later." This is not true because the servers are infact up and running. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Given that the chance of getting malware through pirated games on Linux is rare (due to the rarity of malware on Linux), is it better?

I'd really like to start daily driving linux, but there's one thing really holding me back. Namely, the keybindings are miserable compared to MacOS. In Macbooks, you can consistently use the cmd key for things like copy/paste across platforms, and down to the minor things like switching tabs quickly in apps, etc. It's consistent and easy. Linux on the other hands falls apart here due to its fractured nature. Is there a way to get a closer setup using linux? Typically I've used DEs like Gnome.

A little RPG Maker fairytale game I'm making for Mystery Game Jam that will also be available on Linux of course. It's being made in Nobara.

The Shadow of Shadows

You are Lilith, a young shadow that wants to become a light. You decide to go to the Sun Palace to ask the Sun Queen how light is made.

As you enter the Palace you find some little creatures named Photons, they are really playful and like to fly around as fast as they can. You play witt them a little before proceeding to the Throne Room. There, the Sun Queen tells you that light uses Protons as carriers but their final fate is either to be killed by some object they hit or be consumed by the Iris King. Lilith cannot believe such a cruel fate awaits these happy creatures. Will you help her find a solution?

DISCLAIMER: The game is still under heavy development so pretty limited and buggy, but any kind of feedback is more than welcome! :)

I've recently bought a new monitor that is 1440p and gotten a used 6900xt to pair, I've noticed in some games that such The Finals the fan on the GPU get really loud (Junction temps are at around 110c which I heard is fine), it starts to sound like a jet engine, I'm hoping there is any easy fix to this.

Would undervolting my 6900 XT help? If so what is best way to do this so it's a set and forget? I tried to lowering my power limit to the lowest on LACT but that didn't make a difference.
The exact model of the card is a Sapphire Nitro+ Special Edition RX 6900 XT, my case is a Phanteks P400A and I'm using Fedora 39 KDE spin.

Hi all. I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction with this because I'm at my wit's end regarding how to handle this.

When I launch Trackmania 2020 via Steam, it launches the cancer that is Ubisoft Connect and runs it in the background. But that's a rant for another time.
However, when I cleanly exit the game, the Ubisoft Connect process continues running. Not only do I not want Ubisoft spyware running on my system unless I have to, but it keeps the game in the Running state in Steam, which inflates the playtime stats incorrectly. It is absolutely infuriating.

Is there some script or some other solution that can trigger a process kill for Ubisoft Connect when the Trackmania process exits?

I'm a Linux newbie, so I'm just learning stuff but I really want to get into Linux. I use Nobara 39 for NVIDIA cards. I can't get to 60 fps in Elden Ring in 1440p, no matter the details level. I've done those things:

1. I installed Autocomposer kwinscript

2. I switched to X11 from Wayland, Wayland was too buggy for me and I've read you get less performance on NVIDIA GPUs

3. Installed Feral Gamemode but it doesn't seem to work, MangoHUD says that the gamemode is off and there's no improvement in performance. I use launch option "gamemoderun %command%"

4. I installed XanMod using this guide. Idk if it worked, neofetch says my kernel is 6.7.6-201.fsync.fc39.x86_64

I did all that and there's absolutely no change in performance, still between 45-55 fps

I am trying to get one of the original Sims to work on Linux and keep running into issues.

The target systems run Debian 12 and have a Radeon HD 4870 and a RX 580 graphics card and I have been using the latest Crossover Linux.

When trying to install the Sims the installer seems to freeze.

While The Sims 2 will install (if I mount the various installer disks as ISO's), different Wine Configurations lead to different failures.

Windows 98/Me/2000 Provide a 'Missing ACPI Layer error' Windows XP clearly starts and then crashes with the following error: INVALID DIRECT3D_CALL Vista gives a message of 'Failed to enumerate any Directx 9 Compatible graphics adapters in this system'. The installer for Sims3 tries to install Steam into a Windows 7 Bottle which fails because I am trying to install from a DVD.

I have seen a message from someone this year claiming to get it working on Lutris this year but they didn't give any details on their configuration.

I did install Lutris as a flatpack and the Sims 2 did install but when asked to start Lutris goes 'starting' and then the game ends.
