Hello, I decided to migrate from W11 to Linux (I know that EndeavourOS, aka Arch btw, is not an beginer distro, is not my first time using Linux) and I haven't had any issue game related, in fact most games that I've tried are running better on this OS, but the one issue I ran into is my controller.

I have a GameSir T4 Pro, it DOES have a mode to be detected as a Switch Pro Controller, however, I tried connect it via its dongle and using its USB cable, where it should be detected as an Xbox 360 controller, but as you can see it still says that is a Switch Pro Controller, and today, like you can see in the background it detects like it's pressing random buttons (even though I just connected the dongle and I didn't paired the controller).

Is there a way to fix this? Like, a terminal command or a software that I can use?

About a month ago I was trying to get Borderlands 4 working properly on CachyOS/KDE. Thankfully the latest nVidia drivers have fixed it. But at that time I was trying to get it working, I ended up at a point where the game would run perfectly fine, but Proton would crash on exit, triggering a popup. Here's the thread I posted back then with the error messages:

https://old.reddit.com/r/cachyos/comments/1rn4t2z/proton_crashes_on_game_exit_games_play_perfectly/

At that point I figured I would just live with the notifications. A couple weeks later, though I decided to go nuclear. I uninstalled the game. I went through and deleted anything associated with it including of course the compatdata folder and anything involved with Optiscaler which I had tried using to fix the issues with DLSS and framegen. I hoped that might fix the Proton crash issue as everything would be back to normal. But no... Proton still crashes on exit.

Since the game does run properly I've decided to give up on fixing the Proton issue. But I would love to get rid of the notifications. I've gone into the system settings, but I don't see anything to do with Proton. Searching online regarding Proton just gives me a ton of results dealing with Proton mail.

Any ideas of how to stop the Proton notifications? (Or fix the Proton crashes?)

I am struggling to set a different refresh rate than the default for my monitor, which is 165. I wanted to set, let's say, 120 Hz, but it seems like Gamescope automatically decides the higher one should be set.

Likewise, I have tried the -r flag for Gamescope with no luck; that one seems to be only for nested environments, e.g., when using it under KDE or something

Is this possible?

PS: here part of my launch script:

$(which dbus-run-session) \

$(which game-performance) \

$(which gamescope) \

-O DP-1 \

-w 3840 -h 2160 \

-W 3840 -H 2160 \

-r 120 \

--hdr-enabled \

--backend drm \

--adaptive-sync \

--xwayland-count 2 \

-e \

-f \

--rt \

--immediate-flips \

-- steam -gamepadui -steamos3 -steamdeck -library -noverifyfiles

I wanted a tablet for media consumption and game streaming. While researching I found a few Lenovo and Red Magic tablets. I was suprised to find Game Native and would be able to play indie games on the device. I did want to buy an expensive tablet just for this feature and have it taken by th OEMs through an update. Or just gave my experience degraded in the future because if an update.

So I started looking for alternatives. I found GPD Win devices. But after searching this sub and reading whole Bazzite debocle, it seems I would be stuck using Windows if I go with one of there device.

Are there any options for mini laptop or tablet laptops? Or maybe 10“ 2in1 laptops?

Thanks.

Every time I update Mesa or Proton or switch GPU drivers, I get that low-level dread that something's going to break. Not even about the new features - just the random regressions that might unfold.

Is it just me, or does everyone else hold their breath during gaming updates too? What actually broke for you recently, and was it recoverable?

For some reason, Rome II (GOG store) runs extremely choppy on my system no matter the graphic setting. I managed to get a good performance out of every prior Total War games and even from its sequels like Attila (which is notorious for being unoptimized) and Three Kingdoms. I tried looking through ProtonDB, but every config there don't work, or at least, don't have immediate results.

Fedora approved Mesa for permanent updates outside the freeze. In theory this means gaming-related fixes land faster instead of waiting for release cycles.\n\nHas anyone actually noticed a difference? Either FPS gains or games that started working after a Mesa update that came through this?

To give context, I’ve been using the Letmereshade plugin on Decky Loader, the only good CRT filter I found on there was CRT Lottes, it’s…fine but I prefer others like Royale.

Plus Letmereshade only works on Steam games, there are only 2 games on my Steam library that I want the CRT filter on.

Is there a way to get CRT filters working on Steam and Non-Steam games?

It’ll be for emulators such as DuckStation, Dolphin, PCSX2 where I want to get that OG CRT vibe.

I was trying to download the Fedora EDK and everything was normal. When it came to restarting the system, he locked the logo of my laptop with the Fedora logo and got stuck on that screen. I tried to remove any USB, turned it off and turned it on. This happened on the first attempt where I hit the power button instead of restarting and I don't know if it broke anything or if it can fix it. Please help me, I need to install Fedora.

I'm on Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS

graphic drivers:TU117M [GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile / Max-Q]

and Picasso/Raven 2 [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series]

I am on a laptop and battery is dead like 0% charge permanetly

hi as the title says most of my games seem to freeze. after a period of time my game freezes i can still move around and there's still noises for about 10 seconds then it's stops but visually it's frozen i seen some post with a similar issue but my whole system doesn't freeze just the game. there's not really a pattern of what causes it to freeze that i notice

hades 1 & 2 freeze after about 1 layer so about 8 minutes

warframe and sekiro freeze after a couple hours. warframe seem to freeze only when I'm doing something if i afk it seems fine for a while. it also freezes within like 5 minutes if i try to stream it using obs (same with the other games)

terraria about 20 minutes before it freezes if i update my drivers it doesn't freeze but that's probably because it uses the 2nd gpu not really and options for the other games due to it being really weak

insider trading the rougelike game freezes when i finish the tutorial. last longer if i ran via steam instead of wine only by a couple minutes

me alt tabbing out seem to hasten? the freezing happens faster if i alt tab out or just immediately freeze like terraria

and around 20+ games

games that haven't froze when i played them

idle cave miner never freezes seems completely fine even when i alt tab out of it

greyhat a digital detective adventure the games is like 15 hours i beat it in 3 sessions didn't freeze once

minecraft i used TL launcher it hasn't freeze yet

forager

there might be like 3 or 4 games that didn't freeze either i don't remember clearly because it happens so often i tune it out

I'm not super sure if it's because of my gpu being overstressed or something? but that doesn't really makes sense how hades can only run for 8 minutes but warframe and sekiro can run for hours

Is there a way to force a game to use PS button prompts? Arknights: Endfield has them, and uses them when a PS controller is detected, I've confirmed this by connecting my DS4 to my phone and playing there (got a usb-c to hdmi cable for it, only to find out my phone needs to explicitly support video-out over usb-c, and that it does not lmao). However, when playing on Linux (CachyOS, specifically) via DW-Proton, it uses xbox prompts. I've tried with Steam input enabled and disabled (was a long shot, steam input is basically an xinput wrapper), every combination of "Enable SDL" and "Disable hidraw" settings in the wine control panel. None of them worked, either I'd get no controller input, or controller input with xbox prompts.

Now, I've switched to using my PS2 controller (cause my PS4 needs a power button and inserting a disc just to turn it on is a pain). That I know isn't going to be detected as a PS controller, and after having played with it I've confirmed that. It had some mapping issues that I found out could be fixed by putting a custom SDL control map in the game's launch options, a control map that lists the name of the controller. Is there some way I can utilize that to force the game to use PS prompts? I don't know precisely what the controller name should be for that to work, if it even would work.

If there's no way to do this, then fine, I can put up with it, it's just a big annoyance to me. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me with this.

Hello, i want to switch on Linux on my PC, and i have Steam games that i want to play sometimes (single player games). I have Intel i3 12100f and Nidia 2060 RTX. Also i have a laptop where i started using Arch, 2 monts ago, and i like it, but i wanted something more "stable" and gameing friendly for my PC. My thoughts are on Arch (where i learned basics) or Debian (where i need to start from begining).
