As the title says I have been having fps issues with sons of the forest . Although when I first started playing the game it would run 80 fps or more on max settings now it runs like 40 fps on lowest settings. Idk if it's related to Linux or not and is there a fix for it ?

I am currently trying to get my PXN V900 Steering wheel to work on Kubuntu.(I just installed Kubuntu today so its the most recent version(no I am not new to Linux)).

QJoyPad and Euro Truck sim along with AntiMicroX all properly see and detect the inputs of the steering wheel, so does the basic Linux Game Controller in System settings see it, but for some reason NOTHING else will recognize it.

The game I am trying to get it to work on is Assetto Corsa (optionally content manager too), I have seen videos such as [This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_t9a4ciIqUM) which show the V900 working on AC (I assume on windows). I have tried other games such as Gravel and WRC 2, but both dont work and I haven't seen an instance of the V900 working with them.

Even If this is on windows, the PXN V900 wheel is officially supported by the mainline Linux kernel as of [Version 6.6](https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.6-PXN-V900-Support), meaning that since it works on AC on windows, and is verified on Linux, transitively it should work on AC on Linux, But it just doesn't.

If anyone has gotten this wheel to work on anything other than Euro Truck Simulator or thinks they know a fix please share.

OK, I am on manjaro and I am using discord. I have used it for a long time with no trouble. This afternoon, it was working perfectly. Tonight, I can't hear any voices, including my own. I can hear all other sound effects like joining, leaving, videos played in chat, but not voices.

All other sound on my system is fine. My microphone is fine (people in discord can hear me)

Things I have tried:

Many restarts, discord and system

Reset all discord audio settings.

Checked all linux audio settings and they look correct to me.

When I switched to Ubuntu, the problem was still there

When I switched to Windows, the problem is gone!

tldr; The headset is in working order since it works in windows. The problem exists in 2 different versions of linux (manjaro, ubuntu) but it only started today and I haven't changed any settings.

Please help, I am losing my mind trying to fix this.

UPDATE: Found this post here, apparently this is widespread

I'm having trouble deleting the files but I says I don't have permission. Is there a way to bypass this or gain access to delete it?

Update: i just had to access it through root and delete it there

It used to have a bleeding edge option under the Beta option in Steam's properties for the game, but it only has None as an option now. Any ideas?

Trying to play Blue Wish Resurrection Plus with my arcade stick. The game seems to have it's own weird controller detection, so when trying to use AntiMicroX to map my stick it's a broken mash of the remapped buttons and the original control scheme. Anyway to force the game to ONLY use the AntiMicroX input?

Hi all,

So I'm newish to Linux and I decided to start off with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Partly because I'm also trying to see if I can move my gamedev workflow from Windows to Linux and saw that 22.04 LTS was supported for things like Unreal Engine and Unity but since 22.04 is kind of old, and I also don't just want to be locked in to literally one distro option, I thought I'd start with 24.04 instead and go from there even if the distro version isn't officially supported.

Overall it's actually quite good, but when I tried playing games, the experience was really, really bad. I have an RTX 3080Ti and was using the 550 proprietary drivers, which are the ones that are tested for 24.04.

Checked out protondb and did some of the common changes with only marginal improvements to the games I was testing out on. FPS was really low and frame pacing was really choppy. I then decided to go with newer drivers and went down the line on the ones offered in the Ubuntu drivers app thing and all the untested ones had graphical issues with the main one being that the screen would black out (all except the game UI) and I'd have to wait a while to get my image back.

At this point being at a loss I figured I'd see what my luck were if I just updated to the point release instead of staying on LTS so I moved over to 24.10 and the difference was like night and day, games were running incredibly smoothly one was even running better than on Windows by a significant amount.

This kind of got me wondering what are the considerations to make when choosing a Linux distro for gaming, especially if I'm looking to game across the board and play anything from the latest games to games that are 10+ years old and possibly even some emulation. I would imagine that things like Kernel and nvidia driver version would matter, what about desktop environments?

Just to be clear, I'm NOT looking for distros built specifically for gaming (so things like Bazzite and Nobara) but rather the components of a distro that would matter most when wanting to game. As my experience stands now, at least as a beginner in the Linux world, I likely wouldn't try any other LTS distro given my experience with Ubuntu LTS

Edit: Accidentally typed RX 3080Ti instead of RTX haha

It isn't a game but I guest a lot of people here use discord so, today I enter into discord everything is okay except I can hear anything in a channel, the rest of members can hear me.
Also I can hear other sounds from discord like notifications or sound panel (preview only).

I already check if the sound settings had wrong configuration but it isn't the case

- Manjaro, kernel 5.15.179-1-MANJARO
- Discord version 0.0.90-1
