So I use Prism launcher from flathub for all my Minecraft needs. But I thought about trying labymod and saw I could use it on prism without installing a whole new client. Shown Here It installed a Jar file, and to use it I needed to select MultiMMC in the installer and select the executable. But I can't find the flatpack executable. I've searched every flatpack directory I could think of in the Local and var folders. I can only find data folders. Any ideas? I use fedora 42 KDE if that helps.

So I now have switched both my laptops to Arch/wayland. Question before I do the desktop I currently install /boot. /root with home on a second drive. Both nvme on the laptops, I have 4 drives 2,nvme,2sdd in my desktop can I just leave 2 of them alone as storage drives. I will convert them to ext4 after I get all my music,pics, and docs off. they arr formatted ntsf. If that makes sense. Steam is a game changer for linux convinced me to pull windows off everything even if the initial set-up can be a pia

I'm trying to play Silent Hill 4 using the Heroic Games Launcher. But it just never starts. I switched from some older "Wine GE" in the wine manager tab, to the latest "GE Proton". No effect.

I have fixed a similar problem before by using the "beta" version of proton, but I can't remember if that was in Steam or maybe Lutris. But there's no option to do that here.

So I was hoping someone knew how to produce a log that shows why the game failed to launch. You press the play button, it tries for a minute and fails. Then you can press the play button again.

Anyone else have these kinds of problems with the Heroic Games Launcher?

As you can see on the video - here is for example Cyberpunk 2077 running on my ASUS G14 laptop with GTX 1650 Ti and Bazzite installed. I have notice the same behaviour in other games too: Elden Ring, Metro Exodus. They all are running quite well (Elden ~45fps, Cyberpunk ~35 fps, Metro Exodus ~60fps) but have this huge stutter that always last the same amount of time and repeat every few minutes. The only exception from games I have tested is Sekiro. There wasn't any noticeable stutter.

However the biggest mistery to me is something different. When I was playing on Windows Cyberpunk 2077 didn't have that problem. Then after switch to Bazzite stutters begins. BUT after running Cyberpunk again from Windows, stutters were also noticeable there!

Did I damage my laptop or something? Please Help! What am I missing here?

Does setting the display refresh rate in linux to 240Hz make any difference if my fps is only 60 or lower in games on my laptop?

El juego se ejecuta bien pero la pantalla permanece en negro y se escuchan las cinematicas, si minimizo la app se ve la pantalla en la miniatura de plasma...pero cuando regreso a la app todo sigue en negro y los menus funcionan lageados. estoy usando debian stable y los drivers de nvidia

English version

The game runs fine, but the screen remains black and cinematics are audible. If I minimize the app, the screen appears in the plasma thumbnail... but when I return to the app, everything remains black and the menus are laggy. I'm using Debian Stable and the Nvidia drivers.

Hello there. I have been using ubuntu for some time now, but i recently did a fresh install on 25.04. I have tried getting hl2 to work, and everything works fine, until i try to start a game. This error is when i tried to play The lost xoas, but i get a simmilar error when i try to play the actual game. I haven't tried any of the episodes, but i suppose the outcome is similar. This is not a new error, i had this error on 24.04.

First of all, here is my system info:

Distro: Fedora 42

DE: Gnome 48

Kernel: 6.14.3-300.fc42

Controller settings: Config "PlayStation Controller Support" > "Enabled" (from default "Enabled in games w/o support")

Hi, recently I made a controller config for Skyrim where I mapped the touchpad on my DS4 controller to quick save and quick load (by pressing F5 and F9). But the game doesn't seem to detect inputs from the touchpad, while I can still quick save normally by pressing F5 on keyboard.

At first I thought it was Steam that didn't detect the inputs, but going to Settings > Controller > Test Device Inputs, I saw that the touchpad input was being detected as intended. I then tried to disable "Desktop Layout" and "Guide Button Chord Layout", and tested again in-game, but still had no luck with that.

Thinking this was a problem with Skyrim specifically, I also tested with other games, in this case Half-Life and Persona 4 Golden, both which also remap the touchpad as another button (for Half-Life the default config is to separate touchpad as a Quick Save and Use Button, for Persona, simply remapping as Select / Start buttons), but still the touchpad wasn't detected inside those games.

Searching for similar problems, I found some users that had the problem of the touchpad from the controller being detected as a mouse, but that doesn't seem to be my case, since the touchpad from my controller ALSO doesn't work as a mouse (tried swiping and clicking when in Desktop, all other buttons work as a mouse since I also tested with "Desktop Layout" from controller config on Steam turned on, also when pressing PS button + touchpad on desktop, which is mapped to left mouse button, according to the "Guide Button Chord Layout", the command work as intended).

Still, I tried those fixes, first by going to ArchWiki and trying this fix, and also searched on this sub and found this post (even though it's for DualSense, but it's similar enough in my view to at least try it), but none of these solutions worked for me.

So... any help on getting the touchpad working in-game? Especially with custom configs from Steam Input.

I have been a huge fan of the Wargame series for years and years. Recently, I built myself a new desktop and finally put Linux on my gaming machine. So far so great, I have managed to get almost everything I want to work. But not Wargame.

They dropped native Linux support years ago: https://steamcommunity.com/app/251060/discussions/0/2282708683274794469/%EF%BB%BF

Which would be fine, but even with compatibility layers, I have not managed to get it working. I can boot into the menu, but if I try to start a game it crashes!

Has anyone found a configuration that works?

My system is:

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.14.4-arch1-1
Resolution: 3440x1440
DE: Plasma 6.3.4
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080
Memory: 61858MiB

I bought the Gamesir Cyclone 2, everything fine, it is definitely an incredible controller. However, when I tried to use motion control in Linux, in none of the 3 modes it is functional, neither in xbox mode, nor ps4 and as a switch controller, any idea what can be done?

Welcome to the newbie advice thread!

If you’ve read the FAQ and still have questions like “Should I switch to Linux?”, “Which distro should I install?”, or “Which desktop environment is best for gaming?” — this is where to ask them.

Please sort by “new” so new questions can get a chance to be seen.

Hello, because i want to run some *unofficial* games, and i want to be as safe as possible doing so, i'm trying to install lutris in a podman container.

My host machine runs Nobara 41 and the GPU is an nvidia rtx 2080. I have installed nvidia container toolkit and i tested it and works fine.

This is my first attempt with containers, so sorry if something may be stupid lol.

Anyway, i get the container to run, i'm able to install lutris and open in it. But anytime i try to open or install a game i get exit error 256. Only cyberpunk i managed to not get this error but gives this one out instead: DxvkInstance: Required instance extensions not supported

Also, there are some "strange" things. Altough nvidia-smi works fine inside the container, by doing vulkaninfo my gpu doesn't show up, instead i only see an llvmpipe card. In lutris settings the gpu shows up as "unable to obtain glxinfo" and in the logs there is this error: ['glxinfo', '-B'] command failed: Command '['glxinfo', '-B']' returned non-zero exit status 255.

[ERROR:2025-04-27 14:58:12,044:glxinfo]: No available glxinfo output.

Testing wayland with imv-wayland i get this error and a black image: libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen

libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen

How can i fix this? This is my podrun run command:

podman run -it \

--name lutris-container-tot \

--userns=keep-id \

--group-add keep-groups \

--device nvidia.com/gpu=all \

--device /dev/dri:/dev/dri:rw \

-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw \

-v /dev/shm:/dev/shm:rw \

-v /run/user/1000/pipewire:/tmp/pipewire:rw \

-v /run/user/1000/bus:/tmp/bus:rw \

-v /home/azazel/SSD/GiochiP/Cracks:/home/azazel:rw,Z \

-e HOME=/home/azazel \

-v $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY:/tmp/wayland-0:rw \

-e WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 \

-e XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp \

-e DISPLAY= \

--security-opt apparmor=unconfined \

fedora:42 \
