I have google searched and still cannot find an easy answer. How can I tell what version of the GPU driver I am using? I'm running Bazzite, and just want to see if I'm using the most current driver for my RX 6900XT.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to know if anyone could weigh in on that "issue"...

I recently installed Windows 11 on a fairly low-end miniPC (16GB of RAM, some integrated Ryzen "Renoir"/"Julienne" integrated CPU...) and when I launch Day of Defeat "Classic" (not the Source one), I get HORRENDOUS game issues :

• I can't crouch and shoot at the same time or strafe and shoot, WHEREAS on any Linux distro (be it Ubuntu, Arch/EndeavourOS, Fedora...) it works flawlessly - as if Windows was ghosting every keypresses... LOL

• I get terrible choppy frame drop on almost every sharp turn I make (even when disabling vsync in settings), WHEREAS, again, every moves is smooth and flawless on Linux...

So, what warrants such awful performance on Windows ?

Could it be that GoldSrc games are as efficiently optimised on Linux as Source ones are ?

Anyway TL;DR : Windows sucks (nothing new here...)

Edit:spelling

im on 5600gt now without dgpu and im wondering is there something should i do before and after adding 6600? im using cachyos hyprland. i just got a budget and i want to play some pretty demanding games like the finals. i enjoy it even in 720p low hahaha so blurry like painting. im using 1080p 100hz monitor btw. if someone using 6600 and playing the finals, let me know what is the performance youre getting. thanks

the current game I'm playing is Hearthstone which runs great via Lutris, but I miss my deck tracker. Is it possible to get those working? I used to use Overwolf but any tracker would do.

Similar for Path of Exile, i'm not playing right now but there was millions of third party apps requried to play.

Does anyone have any experience to share in this department? I'm fairly new to Linux running Fedora 41 with a 4070ti super

Hi, I've been playing on linux for a few years now, on Nobara. I recently transitioned to Arch. Using a i7 13700kf + 2080 Ti + 64GB RAM

I noticed on two specific games, and in specific situations, that I get VERY poor performance (20ish fps): the reason is that the CPU usage gets at almost 100% (every performance core/thread is at ~95% usage), so the GPU has no time to calculate the frames. In these situations, GPU usage drops from full 100% to nearly ~25%

The specific situations are:
- On Satisfactory, when loading an end-game map, all the factory updates takes forever (if I disable power in my factory, I get 120 fps back)

- In Void Crew, in combat situation, when looking at a lot of enemies (when the enemies disappear, the fps are back)

I think that the issues are related, since the symptom is the same, and I get very similar sound stutter too when the performance drops.

I checked both cases on windows, everything runs smoothly (GPU at 100% usage). Performance mode is on, I run the games with gamemode, I tested serveral versions of Proton and ProtonGE. Am I missing some configuration or something ?

"This game requires manual configuration of graphics settings to perform well on Steam Deck."

This should be done for almost 50% of the incompatible games

It's been a strange few days for Palworld on Steam Deck. Originally it was rated Steam Deck Playable, then after the major Feybreak update Valve set it as Steam Deck Unsupported and now it's back to Steam Deck Playable again.

I just released a little BASH script that handles the conversion of Clips made with Steam Recording to mp4 files for you. It's completely opensource and you can download it from GitHub right now!

ReadMe from Github:

SteamClip - Steam Recording to MP4 Converter

SteamClip is a simple BASH script that allows you to convert Steam game recordings into .mp4 files.

WHY

Steam uses m4s file format for video and audio that then are layered in a single video output.

Exporting to mp4 from Steam itself is possible, but that leads to heavy visual artifacts in my testing.

Those artifacts are not present when using ffmpeg to convert m4s files to mp4 (or other formats)

I made this script just to be able to save non glitchy .mp4 clips and share them to my phone via Kde connect, especially clips longer than 1 minute

FEATURES

• Converts Steam recordings to MP4 format.
• Easy to use, with a simple user interface.
• Works by selecting the clip via an interactive prompt.
• Saves the final converted file to the Desktop.

INSTALLATION

• Download or clone the repository.
• Place the SteamClip.sh file in any directory.
• Grant execution permissions:

chmod +x SteamClip.sh

USAGE

• Run the script by double clicking it If you have multiple Steam profiles, the script will ask you to select the correct SteamID.
• After selecting the SteamID, an available list of clips will be shown.
• Select a clip and an interactive preview will be displayed.
• Confirm and the script will convert the clip to an MP4 file. The converted file will be saved to your Desktop.

REQUIREMENTS

• Linux (Tested on SteamOS and Bazzite).
• ffmpeg (Make sure it is installed):
• sudo apt install ffmpeg # On Ubuntu/Debian
• sudo dnf install ffmpeg # On Fedora
• sudo pacman -S ffmpeg # On Arch
• kdialog for dialog boxes (usually pre-installed on KDE environments, but can be installed if necessary):
• sudo apt install kdialog # On Ubuntu/Debian
• sudo dnf install kdialog # On Fedora
• sudo pacman -S kdialog #On Arch
• Steam installed with recordings in the default folder ~/.local/share/Steam/userdata//gamerecordings/clips.

Before anyone says "Just use r/linux4noobs; I already tried that, lazy moderators just keep letting the bot delete my posts with no explanation so this is my next step please help!"

I just made the jump to linux mint and I need some bugs in the system worked out and I'm not sure what to do:

1. Bluetooth devices do not auto connect even though they are on and paired, its a little annoying to have to do that manually everytime
2. Keyboard not connected on startup. For some reason the system doesnt recognize I have any keyboard plugged in and it has no power going to it until i unplug it and plug it back in.
3. Can access external hard drive: I began restoring my game backups now today I cant even use my external hard drive and I keep getting the error: "Failed to mount drive. Error mounting /dev/sda2/media/null-user/ Drive: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock, on /dev/sda2, missing codepage or helper program or other error"
4. Inconsistent shortkey functionality: for some reason I can only do things like copy-paste through the hot key commands instead of mouse like 50% of the time

I’m currently planning on setting up a mini PC with Bazzite as an HTPC, mostly for cloud gaming via Moonlight.

My original goal was 4K120 with HDR, VRR, and if possible HDMI CEC, which is 100% attainable over HDMI 2.1. Problem is, it’s not supported in AMD drivers and I really don’t want to spend double the money just to get an intel mini PC with Iris XE.

I found a mini PC that supports USB4 for 8k video, and there appears to be HDMI 2.1 to USB4 cables out there in the wild, I’m wanting to know if this is a viable option, or if there’s any other solutions I should seek.

The mini PC also does have an HDMI 2.1 port if there is some weird way to get it functional on Linux

Hi everyone, I'm trying to keep me update with the latest softwares for linux gaming. Last time I had to use gamescope for HDR, mangohud to set an fps limit to my games (essential for a fluid VRR experience) and gamemode for cpu priority/power management.

The resulting launch options for my average steam game are:

gamemoderun mangohud gamescope -f --hdr-enabled %command%

(this sucks btw)

Anything else I should add or remove that is highly recommended or essential? I'm playing on Arch

I sadly can't get my Xbox Controller dongle adapter to work, tried with both xone (with its 6.12 fix branches too) and xpadneo, the light on the adapter never turns on, I can use my controller via bluetooth just fine though.

I recently switched from win11 to Ubuntu but most of my games are on Xbox gamepass or epic games... While I can play a good portion of my games on steam I still need a solution for those windows only games, so should I just install windows on a vm or should I use an app like bottles?

Hello, I have been solely on Linux for about a year now. I tried gaming on Linux about a decade ago and it was pretty rough. I was impressed by how easy and user friendly it had become when I came back. I am using Ubuntu with Steam for all of my games and it has been mostly seamless.

While modding games with the Steam Workshop has been OK, I really want to mod Fallout New Vegas, but all of the guides I see to get it working on Linux seem extremely complicated. Back on Windows, I used Vortex and it was a few simple clicks. What is the most straightforward way to mod Fallout New Vegas on Linux?

I tried watching Michael Horn's tutorial but it was above my head. I had never even heard of bottles or Flatpak before this video.

Hey guys, I'm a noob who uses Arch Linux as a daily driver.
I wanted to know how to make WItcher 1 steam work, it's installed but it doesn't launch on any proton version. There are so many posts on the topic that I got lost, so if any kind soul who deliver a solution that works immediately, I'd gladly cast the benediction of the forefathers and mother creatrix on them. Thank you

Help! I've been trying to fix this issue for what it feels like years now, and there's still no solid solution that I found.

Neofetch/Specs

This is what it echoes when I enter neofetch.

What happens

When I click the play button on heroic, in a few moments the launcher pops up. (Not EAC)

After that, a dark screen pops up and just disappears.

Tried solutions

Tried Proton-GE versions:

• 7-20
• 7-37
• 5.6-GE-2
• 6.5-GE-2
• 8-25

None worked.

Using different wine versions produced similar results but still doesn't work.

• wine-9.0
• GE-8-26

I didn't try more wine versions because proton-GE worked better for most people.

Tried Environment Variables:

• WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR = 1
• hidewineexports = enable
• vblank_mode = 0

Still, nothing worked.

I messed around with the wine and other settings for the game, still doesn't work.

Current settings:

wine settings (i also used winecfg)

Other settings

I downloaded dependancies, via winetricks and protontricks, still didn't work. I also downloaded them manually by running the EXE/MSI file

Nothing seemed to be working. Here are the logs with the current settings:
