ProtonGE FSR (WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1) doesn't work
I tried to use Gamescope, but discovered that it doesn't work with Steam Flatpak, so I decided to give ProtonGE FSR a shot.
I set Monster Hunter: World to 1477x831 by editing the configuration file, and used WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 mangohud %command% as a launch parameter, but FSR didn't seem to work, because the game looked like a blurry mess. I tried borderless window and fullscreen, it didn't make any difference.
I installed GE-Proton9-11 using ProtonUp-Qt.
Am I missing something?

How to increase double click distance in Linux?
Hello fellow Linux gamers. This is my first post in this subreddit, sorry if i step on anybody's toes.
I'm having the weirdest game breaking issue, and cannot find ANY information online about it:
I play Guild Wars 2 on Linux, and it runs even better than on Windows, except that half my double-clicks dont register. GW2 has crazy inventory management requiring double clicking on items to consume/open them, so working double clicks are quite important.
From my testing and research, it seems to be caused by double click DISTANCE and not delay. If I hold my mouse very steady, double clicks work normally. But we gamers use very sensitive lightweight mice, and high resolution displays, so keeping the pointer perfectly still is impossible, especially in the heat of action. This results in linux rejecting double clicks - regardless of how fast it was - simply because the pointer moved by a millimeter.
The only thing I can find online is a post on SuperUser from 6 years ago asking about this, without any reply.
Since I know you will be asking, this issue happens on both Opensuse TW and Kubuntu, using two different mice, different ports.... i even tried on two different computers and have the same problem. I dont have that issue on Windows.
Is any of you experiencing this? have you found a solution? KDE doesnt have any GUI setting to change this, but maybe you know of a config file where I can change the double click distance?

Why Does This Keep Happening (Black Mesa)?
I keep getting this error message while trying to call in an artillery strike in "Surface Tension". I think it has something to do with physics, as it happens whenever something is broken (e.g. health crate). I'm on Kubuntu, by the way.

How much faster is Cachy OS than arch with zen kernel for raw gaming performance?
If it is at all, I have never really used many derivatives to operating systems other than endeavor and PopOS I just usually use Stock fedora or arch.

Arch Linux (Zen)
Xfwm4 (X11)
32gb DDR4 2333 MH (I think also xmp is disabled)

Steam games that come with their own launcher?
I have pretty much all my games on Steam, but some of them (looking at you Ubisoft, EA and Blizzard) come with their own launchers. Do they work as usual?
I haven't switched to Linux yet, so I can't try it out myself, but I would like to know how it works before I pull the trigger.

how good are AMD cards compared Nvidia on Linux
hey, i'm new to the whole Linux scene and was a wondering if AMD cards are really that good on Linux compared to Nvidia?
i am planning to switch to AMD in the next couple of years even if i kept using Windows, and lately after i played around on linux i thought i might fully switch to Linux if/when i go team Red.
i know it has something to do with Nvidia proprietary drivers and them being not interested in supporting Linux, but as i understand not all of AMD features are open as well so i don't get this at all.

Helldivers 2 Black Screen on Linux with AMD GPU
Hi there,
I have stumbled upon this issue and would like to ask if someone knows a different fix or has encountered similar issues.
When starting Helldivers for the first time, I've setup the game to my liking in windowed mode and I have the option for two different AMD GPU's despite only having one:
AFAIK, radv is the vulcan driver and the other one is the default driver, so being able to select it is fine by me. However: When setting this to radv, the game will only launch into a blackscreen. The common fixes for this like verifying game files, restarting the game + pc did not fix anything, only deleting the user-config fixed this or going into the config-file and changing `adapter_index` to 0, which sets this back to the first one.
Has anyone else experienced this? Are my drivers maybe misconfigured?

Is it possible to launch a windows executable using steam in the CLI?
Having Proton being integrated in steam is amazing! so much so that when I download a .exe from itch.io or something, I just add it as a steam game and it works very well.
But is there a better way of launching non-steam windows games using the same Proton that steam uses? in the terminal ideally.
Thank you in advance!

MangoHud Install/Config for Steam and Bottles on Ubuntu based systems
Configuring MangoHud has given me quite a lot of headache.
I had trouble finding the proper config file's location for the proper app.
Most posts said just to install goverlay for simplicity, but installing that on Ubuntu based systems was a lot harder than just doing it manually. Mostly because I am a newbie Linux user and I got lost in this guide for the required package https://github.com/davidbannon/libqt6pas
So I thought I post this to help others.
Installing MangoHud:
If you are a Mint user like myself, both flatpak and system package can cause a headache, mostly because configuring the flatpak, I still am not sure how to do, and the system package is so old that it doesn't support basic configs like horizontal.
So I'd recomment just downloading the latest to your home folder from
https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud/releases
Exctract it,
cd $HOME/MangoHud/
./mangohud-setup.sh install
This way your config will be located here(you will need to create it):
$HOME/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf
Here's a nice simple one I use:
background_alpha=0
font_size=18
alpha=1
horizontal
hud_compact
gpu_stats=1
gpu_temp=1
fps=1
cpu_stats=1
cpu_temp=1
frame_timing=0
ram
vram
Now, you just add 'mangohud' without the quotation marks in Steam to the Launch options.
But Bottles will not use this one, and It will ask you to install the flatpak MangoHud and it will tell you which version:
flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLazer.MangoHud//23.08
And this one will not use the same config file, the proper location for this config is lacated here:
$HOME/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf
You can run this to copy the Steam one over:
cp $HOME/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf $HOME/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf
Now you just need to toggle the 'Monitor Performance' on

God, Isn't it awesome that we now live in a world where most brand new games run on Linux at launch day?
I remember when I first started trying to game on Linux. Ubuntu 14. We only had wine as an option. You'd need to install steam in wine, and then hope that it was stable enough to install and run your games. You could play World of Warcraft pretty consistently, and maybe a few smaller games, but not much else without a LOT of tinkering. You'd be lucky if your wireless card was working consistently, let alone any games.
Fast forward a couple of years ago. 2020. Proton and DXVK are out, but it tends to lag behind new releases. Cyberpunk 2077 had significant problems at launch -- especially if you were on NVIDIA cards -- and took weeks to sort out. Ray Tracing and DLSS were basically out of the question, and your experience was pretty questionable unless you were on AMD. Your monitors were fixed to the lowest refresh rate among them because of limitations in X11.
Today, August 20th 2024, every single brand new game that has released this year has worked for me on launch day with zero issues. It didnt matter if it was on Epic, Steam, GoG, etc. Everything just WORKED. We have the Heroic Launcher, Lutris has gotten really good, basically every steam game just works out of the box with the exception of a few games with anticheat and developers with anticompetitive policies that refuse to enable anti-cheat proton support. We have a variety of branched versions of proton with specific fixes and enhancements for various games. We have a new display server protocol that is (quite recently) stable on all major GPU manufacturers. Black Myth Wukong launched today, and it's already gold on protondb. Even games that Steam doesn't supposedly support directly are getting patches to proton to ensure the experience is seamless.
And in the future, support is looking even better! HDR support has come to wayland -- if only experimentally -- and while it's not very good, it will get better once they have greater support for color profiles...And not only that, Linux ARM gaming support is starting to take off and get better (though my experience in that regard is limited).
Linux still has a lot of limitations for business users as far as available software goes, but when it comes to gaming, we have an experience that is basically on-par with Windows and universally better than Mac.
Man is it a good time to try Linux.
