Discover Overlay, an open source Discord Overlay for Linux has a new release available with v0.7.3 adding in some useful new features.

Hey guys. I just wanted to tell you that my small indie game is now available on Linux. Building it from Game Maker was quite a challenge, especially since I lack a strong technical background. After struggling with wsl without much success, a friend stepped in and helped me build it using a vps.

It has been tested on Ubuntu 22.04 and now available on Steam: Another Bar Game.

Previously, I released my debut game Dude, Where Is My Beer? which is also available on Linux. It's a point-and-click adventure game created with Visionaire Studio , which had a super easy Linux export possibilities :)

I came across advice on increasing vm.max_map_count for "better gaming".

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/04/arch-linux-changes-vmmax-map-count-to-match-fedora-ubuntu-for-better-gaming/

Can anyone else suggest interesting options?

You may have seen news recently about explicit sync for Wayland, but you might not know why it's actually important for the future of Linux on Wayland.

More work is ongoing for the upcoming KDE Plasma 6.1 release, and there's some fun stuff being added like the ability to sync your keyboard RGB lighting up to your Plasma accent colouring.

Hi! I'm wondering if it's possible to use the Intel iGPU in my CPU (i5-13500) to render the KDE desktop but use the dGPU for games (like in Windows, you can switch the GPU per app in settings)

On my dGPU (RTX 3070) everything is very buggy on desktop (both GNOME and KDE, X11 and Wayland) that's why I wanted to see if it's possible. Btw I am using the Nvidia proprietary driver, not noveau (which was even worse).

I am using Fedora 39 KDE.

Want a really simple but useful launcher to run GZDoom games? If you find other launchers not to your liking, or too complicated, maybe CleanDoom will be what you need.

Windowkill is a fantastic twin-stick shooter, where the game window is constantly shrinking on you and enemies spawn across multiple windows. It's truly clever and now it has full customization available via the newly introduced modding support.

I’ve spent ages stuffing around with it. Verifying files, many different proton versions, everything. Still no luck, it won’t launch.

The closest I got was using ancient 4.11 proton.

I think I’m getting application configuration errors for proton?

Running Ubuntu 20.04

I’m starting to think I might have to try windows 7

The Orange Pi NEO is an exciting looking gaming device, following in the footsteps of the Steam Deck being powered by Linux. Recently the price was revealed, and the Manjaro Linux head Philip Müller did a talk on it.

Nice to see more Linux distributions make changes to ensure the gaming experience is good. Arch Linux is now following Fedora and Ubuntu on upping the vm.max_map_count value.

After the most recent main release of the Heroic Games Launcher, there was an issue people found where games using Proton on Linux / Steam Deck wouldn't run. This latest hotfix should solve it.

Greetings!

I want to run Doom Eternal with Ray Tracing but the option on the settings menu is disabled for some reason.

​

My system:

Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH6

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600H

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile (4 GB)

Memory: 16GB

​

I'm running on Kubuntu 23.10. Is there something that I need to do in the nvidia driver settings so that I can play DE with RTX? Any help would be highly appreciated :D

So Im wondering how people that have world of Warcraft and for instance heroes of the storm have it setup?

I installed heroes of the storm, which installed bnet then I had to install through bnet.

I then installed wow through lutris which installed a separate bnet , then installed wow after.

Couple questions; 1. Why TF are these all separated, I know I can just install bnet app in lutris then do it through there but wanted to make sure I got any lutris optimization that we're game specific if any 2. I see I can enable Gamescope through config for each item, but for these it's launching bnet not the game, and really I only want to launch WOW or hots with Gamescope, not bnet launcher
