Issues with Steam Input with ps4 controller
Hello everyone I’ve recently dual-booted mint 22 and everything is working great minus a couple of things
I’ve gotten the steam input working on the settings side (the rumble and buttons show that they are being detected and react when I press them) however whenever I try to play Sekiro with steam input enabled it doesn’t work at all. At first the A button worked and the looking around worked but nothing else did. I fiddled with my settings and now nothing works
I’ve researched and have seen sc-controller and tried to use it but I believe since I’m running mint 22 with the updated kernel it isn’t needed
Another thing is when I try to configure the controller settings for the game itself, it just shows a blank screen. However if I disconnect the controller the display works and says that steam input isn’t enabled but I’ve enabled it in the game properties
I’m kinda at a loss of what to do in order to fix it as a lot of the stuff I’ve seen online seems to be outdated
I’ve tried different proton versions but nothing worked
Another issue I’ve been having is that steam on the first start up the web helper thing ALWAYS crashes first try but if I just pick the option to restart steam it’ll run with no issues. Might be unrelated to my current issue but I thought that maybe this could be part of it
Oh and I installed steam using the deb file. Not the flatpak
I hope that I’ve provided enough info for someone to help as this is driving me a little crazy lol

Elitedesk g2 capabilities
Found a killer deal on an elitedesk g2 mini pc
i7 6th gen 6700t 16gb ram 512 SSD Intel HD graphics 530
I have no idea about Linux or emulators or pcs or anything but I want to learn, this will be my entrance into hardware/software mod and teaching myself to code
What's the best way to config this to emulate up to ps1 and N64 games?
Where do people find the games?
How would this do with Kodi?
Also, what do I do about virus and malware protection?

ARM is hyped but it's not a good choice for PC gaming
Why? Because ARM has several big limitations compared to x86. UEFI is not a mandatory standard on ARM processors and there are mostly no ACPI either, with each vendor doing its own thing leading to vendor locking. You normally won't be able to install another OS on an ARM computer because drivers etc. are different. You guys want to see ARM gaming computers but it is not what we should be going for. Let it be for what it's good at: power efficient laptops for those who simply need basic browsing, word processing etc. For the rest and power users, we should never move to ARM.

(TLDR in 1st PG) Nvidia drivers installed, but shows "off" in nvidia-smi using prime-run for Minecraft
TLDR: my Arch install w/KDE and Nvidia drivers feels like its running on bare metal. Nvidia card always showing as OFF, despite "running" MultiMC, X11, and Wayland with prime-run. Only MMC is using prime-run.
I've installed my drivers via pacman, verified with Nvidia-smi, and set MultiMC wrapper command to prime-run. I'm not at my PC now, but at the top of nvidia-smi, it shows my Nvidia GPU as off, and x11/Wayland at the bottom process list.
Minecraft gets constant stutters with low RD and perf mods, same performance with/without the latter.
My computer is an Acer nitro 5 1650ti with Intel core i5 10300h.
I've heard of RTFM, but dude I must not be reading hard enough, any assistance I would be very grateful for. The pros just said RTFM, but that's made me go only in circles. Im exhausted.
Am I forgetting something? Something that will turn the GPU on? I'll be back shortly.

Launch Unreal Gold natively with oldunreal patch?
I installed Unreal Gold and the patch 227j from oldunreal.com with wine. During the installation of the patch i had an option to install files that enable unreal to run natively on Linux without needing WINE, which I did. But how do I actually launch the game now? This is my unreal directory. What file / command do I need to run to play the game?

Is Arch Linux better than Ubuntu (in gaming) ?
I'm currently running on Arch, but like 90% game just don't playable (only with playing problems, not FPS one: games aren't starting, in phasmophobia if you start a contract all your screen will be just white, in Psychonauts 2 video memory error, etc. and it's all using proton7/proton8/proton9/proton-ge7/wine-ge), I'm like confusing about this all and think, maybe I will try to run Ubuntu steam and Ubuntu versions of all layers (via Bedrock Linux) or I will try to install Ubuntu-based (Like KUbuntu).
Any guide doesn't work for me: reinstalling OS (I tried like two times from one ISO, and it didn't work), updating OS, installing different WM (I'm currently running Hyprland, tried KDE Plasma and XFCE, not working), installing different compatibility layer, compiling wine/proton from GitHub (tried wine, wine-ge, proton and proton-ge), using launchers (tried to use Heroic, official Steam and Lutris).
And from this all, question: Is Arch Linux better than Ubuntu (in gaming) ? Or, maybe, there is a nice distro for both programming and gaming ? Maybe, just do dual boot Arch for programming and Windows 10 for gaming ?

Man, I love Linux Gaming, especially when Steam keeps downloading shaders or whatever EVERY SINGLE DAY, EVERY SINGLE TIME I OPEN THE CLIENT, for games like TF2 and CS2
I fricking love it. And I bet it's totally necessary and warranted.

Huniepop on steam
Does anyone have luck with running this game on Steam? Distro is Linux Mint v 22 Wilma and I use proton experimental. Any suggestions? When I launch the game, it’s just a black screen for a couple minutes then crashes. No sound

i am very new to linux, noticed that games trough proton (tried proton ge as well), run at a very low cpu clock speed.
i5 6600 is my cpu, i tried applications such as blender, and blender does use a high cpu clock speed (3.6ghz+), but games like borderlands 3 with proton, uses max 2.7ghz constant, on all cores. i am using linux mint cinnamon as my os. nvidia controls have perfomance mode on also.

Launched Steam page for open-dialog mystery game - is it clear what the game loop is?
Finally got around to putting up a steam page for my first game, "Mens Rea"! Game was developed on linux, runs smoothly on 2070s and newer - happy to discuss any of the implementation details and the linux side of development/deployment :)
(Among a lot of other things haha) I'm wondering: the game loop is a little.. different.. is it clear from the page what it actually is?
The core loop involves open dialog (type free-form, as opposed to clicking dialog options), and somewhat free-form responses from NPCs) to solve conversational puzzles where you navigate through the stages of a conversation. Mostly, this involves navigating which topics to push on (inferred from conversational context clues, information you've gained from other NPCs, clues you've gathered from investigating the environment, etc). Or an NPC might want to be flattered, want to test your knowledge of a particular topic, etc.
The ancillary game elements are less relevant (eavesdropping on conversations, gathering clues, finding particular NPCs, challenging NPCs to bets/games...). Does this come through properly in the limited description? I tried to balance avoiding verbosity with capturing all the important stuff.
It's a hobby game I've made by myself, and the niche ("murder mystery detective") isn't too big, so I I'm not expecting it'll attract much, I just want to make sure it's clear to anyone who is interested how the weird mechanics work :)

cannot use compatibility tools with steam games
So this is a weird issue that has come up randomly but out of no where when I try to launch a any compatibility tool for a steam game whether it be proton or any other game I get this error (keep in mind previous games I had installed works just fine, also when changing versions of proton on games I have previously installed I begin getting the error so I know its 100% proton or any compatibility tools fault)
I have seen other people have this problem as well but their fixes if they were even able to fix it did not work for me, I have tried nearly everything and it does not seem that even moving to a different install folder does the trick. Does anyone have any ideas (im using linux mint 22, if you need any additional system information let me know)
