Should I go back to Arch for gaming? I used Arch with i3wm on my old laptop for about a year and a half. But recently, I built a PC and have been using Windows 11 for gaming. It’s not a very powerful setup just an AMD APU without a dedicated GPU. I've been playing Valorant The Finals and FC26 but honestly, I'm done with Windows 11. Still, I want to keep gaming. Doesn't have to be arch btw

I tried using it for my game controller, and I didn't like it so I uninstalled it. Uninstalling it, specifically using apt purge, for some reason did not purge its related virtual gamepad/input device(s). Its messing with me trying to use my controller elsewhere because my computer thinks I'm using 2 controllers at once. How can I delete, remove, or permanently disable this input device?

I tried following some instructions I found online that suggested I create the following file:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-disable-gamepad.conf

and then add the following templated information to it:

Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Virtual Gamepad" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event#" Option "SendCoreEvents" "false" EndSection

while replacing "event#" with the specific event number of the virtual device. I found those event numbers by using "libinput list-devices" where it exactly specifies which device name corresponds to which event number. It then said to restart Xorg or my PC without specifying a command to do so. I looked up a command that was supposed to do it, but it just made the screen go black and never come back(after minutes). I used the power button to shutdown my pc, and rebooted. I was greeted with tty1, not my usual login, and it didn't let me switch to tty7(where my display usually is located). I had to use timeshift to roll back my pc a few hours. And now I'm here.

Evidently somewhere in this chain of events, I screwed something up, or the instructions were not detailed enough. In any case, I am still left with my problem, and my fear of screwing something up again if I were to try something similar.

I am running Linux Mint 21.3, should that be relevant.

I'm having trouble launching the game in Linux Mint (fresh install - I am new to Linux, coming from Windows). It ran fine on Windows 10, but when I launch the game in Linux (and I've tried several of the Proton options Steam provides), Steam says it launching, and then after a few seconds, it tells me it is running, and after 5-10 seconds, it stops. I never actually see the executable, nor the crash report window. I am running obse with a few mods, but it does not launch, whether I am using the obse executable or the native one.

Edit: I also verified the integrity of the game files and even uninstalled and reinstalled the game.

For gaming?

I am wondering if anything comes close to it if it is, or perhaps surpasses it

I am on CachyOS currently, but my OS broke after update today. I love the speed of the OS, but it broke through basic update

Not sure if it is a regular situation, but I am not very happy with this, forcing me t reinstall

When using the PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 command, does it automatically use the latest Fsr4 model?

I have 2 t1t6000m flight sticks. Jstest and KDE's built in controller tester can see the and they work as they should. But when it comes to playing steam games, none of them even detect them and I don't see them in controllers. Any idea on where to start? The arch discussion page had nothing on this that I could see

I'm about to switch from Windows, but I'm not sure if WoWUp works or not. I'm using the CurseForge beta, if that matters. The website only shows a Windows logo, but I've seen a couple people say it's Linux compatible. Does anyone here know? Thank you.

My main gaming distro is Pop OS Cosmic Beta.

Currently I have StarCraft II setup via Battle.net added to Steam as a non-game. Using Proton 10.0 compatibility layer to get Battle.net to work and then just installed the game like that

Does anyone have a different method or a recent guide you would recommend? Not sure what would work on Linux

My current situation:

Installed lutris and its dependencies (the default stuff pacman installs) and wine.

lutris mesa-utils fluidsynth gamemode gvfs lib32-gamemode python-protobuf vulkan-icd-loader vulkan-tools wine winetricks

The other game related things (I think):

nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils nvidia-settings libva-nvidia-driver linu-firmaware-nvidia vulkan-tools vulkan-icd-loader

Lutris configuration:

https://preview.redd.it/dmoobjrxasvf1.png?width=1686&format=png&auto=webp&s=c90719173107cf12b541276b21d6f60a0ae3f03d

With this setup I can play a few games. So far among the ones I tested:

Really good:

• Dead Cells
• Easy Delivery Co
• Project Zomboid
• Undertale

Bad performance/unplayable, but at least it launches:

• Subnautica
• Kovaaks
• Cyberpupnk 2077
• Minecraft via PollyMC

Doesn't open/open but doesn't work:

• Red Dead Redemption 2 - It launches. I can see with ps that It is open in the background and the lutris logs say it's open put I don't see any sign of a window or sound.
• Jump King - The game launcher beautifully. But with nothing but sound. I can hear the game, interact with the menu. I can hear it. But see nothing. Only a black full screen window.

In order to find the Jump King issue I figured I might have missed a package. I couldn't find much, so according to Chatgpt, I need lib32-vulkan-icd-loader this ties back to the lutris config screenshot I annexed above.
We see that there's something missing, right? If I install lib32-vulkan-icd-loader, the two error messages there disappear. Unfortunately that doesn't mean they started to work.

As soon as I install that package, I can no longer launch any of the games I previously stated I was able to. Instead I get the following messages:

https://preview.redd.it/sfg9ziskdsvf1.png?width=1413&format=png&auto=webp&s=513b109874eee1d4cfa6543f72fb9929351e8a78

In order for the games to launch again I have to untoggle those two options.

So I figured: I must have missed something again. Fuck GPT.

After going back to a previous backup I though of installing Steam. My guess was that Steam would install all of the gaming dependencies I need. So I did.
sudo pacman -S steam
1) lib32-nvidia-utils

But to my surprise Steam also installs the lib32-vulkan-icd-loader so I went full cycle.

What am I missing? How can I solve this?

Hey guys. I recently switched to LinuxMint cinnamon, and have been enjoying the experience so far. Only problem is my performance on games, specifically CS2. For reference, I am running on a gaming laptop which has:

-16GB RAM - 500GB SSD - Nvidia RTX 3060 - Core i5

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!

ZORIN OS

Hello everyone, how are you? I'm trying to migrate to Linux, but after trying several times to dual boot and several errors occurring, I gave up doing it this way.

Well, the only thing that stops me from switching completely to Linux is the issue of playing with my friends, we play League of Legends and Rainbow Six, two games that you can't use on Linux due to anti-cheats. Would it be viable to use a Windows virtual machine within Linux to run these games whenever I want? I believe my PC would handle it just fine.

I’m planning on using Linux to replace windows 11 and want to have a steam-deck style experience, but SteamOS doesn’t work on my 9070XT/9800X3D and I’d prefer to avoid “niche” distros that might fall apart for some reason or another (Nobara only being made by one guy, Bazzite mainly just being a small team and immutable) and use an upstream distro, Fedora or Ubuntu, probably.
