In case you haven't already heard, EA has decided to actively block Proton, Wine or SteamDeck from running their brand new shooter, as they have already done for other titles of the saga, such as BF1.

After the Windows 11 debacle and many users quitting Windows seemingly forever after being forced to buy new hardware to feed Bill Gates' already full pockets, it would be a step back for everyone in the Linux community and otherwise to simply roll over and take it up the ass when it comes to this new occurrence.

I've already heard people in other subreddits pushing users to dual-boot what is esentially spy- and ad-ware on their machines, because there will be no other way to play this game, not only because EA and DICE are incompetent enough to produce anticheat that support Proton (much like EasyAntiCheat has been able to do forever) but also because they outright don't give a fuck about us users.

I don't only refer to Linux users in the previous sentence, but to every single user of a PC anywhere in the world. What do EA care if you choose to play their brand spanking new game that costs 70 bucks on any hardware of your choosing? Why require SecureBoot to run the game? Are they that incompetent? Yes, but not only that, as I've already said! They simply don't give a fuck about consumers, and just want to make a quick buck out of you!

We must all rise to the occasion by boycotting this game to show this company that their extortion techniques will be met with nothing less than outright war.

Thank you very much for coming to my TED talk.

I'm starting on Linux

Hi all,

I've been using Linux (Manjaro) for a while for gaming and really, I'm so glad I switched from Windows.

I have a small problem though, I need my computer to be remotely controlled and I really can't find a way that works as good as Windows.

For now, I'm stuck using windows with chrome remote desktop because it works from login screen, has touch input working and it works from a web interface.

I use manjaro gnome, with Wayland. That Wayland part seems to be the problem.

NoMachine supports it, but not from login screen, so if I reboot the PC, I'm screwed. Also, touch does not work, or works very badly.

AnyDesk does not support Wayland.

Chrome Remote Desktop does not support Wayland, nor xorg because I could not make it work.

I tried to Gnome remote desktop, but it's laggy as hell and I could not make it work outside of my home network. Also does not work on the login screen.

So, what are my options? Do you guys know a good remote desktop app that works just like chrome's one, that can work from a tablet, that my PC can reboot and I don't lose access to it?

Thanks

Hello All, so I have PPSSPP and RPCS3 installed on my Linux Mint laptop. Every 2-3 days it kind of 'forgets' where everything is, like it looses access to ROMs folder (I need to point to the directory again) and then all my save data are gone, and my controller mappings reset, etc... I have the home directory encrypted if that may be the case? Do I need to install the system package (some of the emulators only have the flatpak and app image). Thanks!

Hello everyone,

this is directed more to nobara/pikaos/cachyos users who use falcond

I've made small unofficial gui in pyqt that can be used to manage profiles and track falcond itself.

Recently made the switch from arch to nix, already feels a lot more stable, but some games just run like crap. I'm pretty sure I got the drivers and everything ready to game, yet Cyberpunk runs quite poor for the hardware I have or at least that's how I feel like. I have an rx 7900xt sapphire nitro+, Ryzen 9 5950x, 32gb DDR4 4000MHZ RAM and Cyberpunk is on an older sata ssd. I have between 45 - 60 fps on ultra, but wven when I switch to the steam deck preset nothing changes and it still runs the same. Am I missing something?

Hello, I am a new player, doing Art of War challenges.

I did Early Combat, Economy and Siege, now when I try Advanced siege, I crash around 30s or so into the game.

I am on Linux openSUSE TW, Proton 9.0.4, latest everything. My PC can play this game normally (16 GB RAM/8GB VRAM, decent framerate). I don't know how to solve this - I can't find any posts on crashing.

The Drifter from Powerhoof has released, and it is something truly special for the point and click adventure genre that's one not to be missed.

I have recently installed cachy os on my asus laptop and was wondering if I am running dual channel ram as I have heard it is better for gaming.

I saw a few other posts and forums and found this command on this post which doesnt give me any out put:

sudo dmidecode -t 17 | awk 'BEGIN { FS=":"; OFS="\t" } /Size|Channel/ { line = (line ? line OFS : "") $2 } /^$/ { print line; line="RAM" }' | grep -iv 'no'

does this mean I am running single channel RAM?

Another output I got from this post is

sudo dmidecode | grep Interleaved
[sudo] password for user:
Interleaved Data Depth: 2

another commands which I tried :

sudo dmidecode | egrep -i 'locator|width'

when I was using windows 10 I checked CPUZ which showed I was running dual channel and this is the output I got from dmidecode

sudo dmidecode -t memory

Can someone please help how to Identify if we are actually running dual channel or is the ram running in single channel

hello everyone, its been a while since i last played with controller, it used to be as responsive if not more so than windows but now whenever i want to use a controller there seems to be a massive amount of delay, maybe a bit over a second.

additionally buttons seem to sometimes be "sticky" and get pressed for way longer than i held them down for. i originally noticed this in Jedi survivor but it seems to happen across games and even in very easy to run titles.

i use xpad neo on cachyOS if that helps.

any suggestions on how i could fix this?

Meu DualShock 4 não funciona no God of War 2018 (não steam). A única forma que consegui fazer ele funcionar foi usando o Steam Input, mas a Steam pesa bastante no desempenho comparado ao Lutris, o que faz falta num notebook fraco. Alguém conhece alguma solução?

Hello everyone,
has someone else experienced a problem similar to mine when launching Jedi Survivor ?
The game start from steam regularly, the EA app preparing game load pop up but then after it goes off the preparing game load screen it only remains a ea app little white rectangle on the top left. But the game doesn't show despite Steam telling me that is running.
Currently I'm launching the game without launch option and with forced proton-experimental.
My spec:
OS: Arch Linux
DE: Hyprland
GPU: Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti

Attached is the screenshot of the ea app rectangle.

Thank in advance to anyone for helping.

As title says, I've been plaiyng Return to Moria on Linux Mint for a while, no problems, took a break from it, then when I tried recently the game won't start. I'm using Heroic (game is on Epic) and wine 8-26. I've taken a Verbose Logs printout where there are some error messages, it's the first comment. I've been working on it myself, but without out much success. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated :)
