Invasive nature aside, doesn't this destroy the argument that community servers of old were as effective a way to combat cheaters? Are the hosts of these servers stupid or lazy, or does it objectively help them more effectively stop cheaters?

Hello,

I'm planning to repurpose my relatively old gaming PC (i7-6700 & GTX1070) into a server running HA, Frigate, ARRs, etc. I'm considering keeping the GPU for Frigate for faster inference times and was wondering whether I could still game on the machine from time-to-time. Nothing fancy - most probably games that are available on Steam and not too demanding (e.g. AoE2:DE, WoT).

The server this is supposed to be replacing is running on vanilla Debian and the services are set up with Docker. I'm open to other distros/solutions, if they offer a superior outcome, but the current plan is to shift everything over, as is.

The question is - can I run Steam games without "polluting" the host OS and without massive performance hits? Dual booting is obviously out of the question. The machine will continue to sit on/around my desk and will have a screen available at all times.

I have an old gaming pc, nothing cutting edge, but decent enough to play most games. It had linux mint installed on it. I haven't used it in about 5 years, because my apartment was pretty small, and honestly it was a bit of a hassle to use it, so I ended up using my laptop more often instead.

Now, I moved into a bigger place, and I am setting it back up. It needs a format because of a Lil data rot, and I figured its the perfect opportunity to try some new distros and fiddle around with remote desktop solutions.

I basically want it to park off in my office most of the time, and I want to use the laptop to remote into it to game on the tv in a different room once in a while.

I've read up on sunshine/moonlight, but i was curious if anyone else has more experience doing something similar and wouldn't mind sharing some information

Bonjour à tous,

J'essaie de changer la langue de Stellaris dans Lutris (je n'ai pas installé le lanceur Paradx).

Je sais qu'il faut appliquer le paramètre « l_french » au lancement (sous Windows, il suffit de l'ajouter aux propriétés du raccourci), mais je ne trouve pas comment faire la même chose dans Lutris.

Je pointe vers stellaris.exe, mais comment ajouter mon paramètre ? (J'ai essayé « l_french » et « -l_french » dans les arguments, mais ça ne fonctionne pas, le jeu reste en anglais).

j'ai beau avoir cherché longtemps... rien

Quelqu'un pourrait-il m'aider ?

https://blazingrex.itch.io/syncanchor I've been using this app call Sync Anchor for a while now and i think its the best file transfer app i've used on linux at least compared to what i've used. Apparently it transfers files faster than sending the file to a server and is good for professionals since it uses P2P.

Is there any other alternatives i can use because this one is only for linux and can't send from linux to windows?

I was using shimboot to download Linux on my Chromebook and steam got stuck on extracting package the error in the terminal is installing break pad appid/verison1.0 not worded that exact way but should give enough information

Hi everyone! I'd like to play a game. Arknights: Enfield, on my PC with Arch Linux (KDE Plasma on Wayland) But the game won't launch. As far as I understand, there's a problem with the anti-cheat which is why the game won't launch. I've tried launching it through Steam, Port Proton and Heroic the game launched only once through Heroic But after trying the second time, the game doesn't launch. So, I found out that the game works fine after dwproton however, downloading from the site or through wget They either give an error or the estimated time is a month. I'm from Russia, but even a VPN doesn't help. Are there any mirrors dwproton or a way to launch games without it

is there any way to run minecraft burdock on linux (Arch) for free without any license?

Title but whats the best way to play ubisoft connect games? Im trying to play avatar rn and perfotmance is abysmal, which option would be the best to launch and play these games?

Whenever I try to launch it it it logs me out of linux and in general could be fixable with a reboot. but it keep happening and sometimes even when i reboot linux it still has the same issue.(sorry for the video recording coming from my phone couldnt get it to work from the laprop)

This issue also started appearing after i tried to use gamescope for wayland. Curentlly restored everything to how it was before trying to configure anything.

I cannot figure out what the hell is going on but it's maddening enough to keep me on Windows for now.

Periodically, the display will stutter. All graphical output freezes up for a fraction of a second. This will happen doing normal desktop things (no gaming) where the most noticeable symptom will be the cursor taking a sec to do anything and then jumping to where it ought to be.

Feels like a bunch of frames are getting just dropped completely.

Probably this has a lot to do with my specific setup because nobody else seems to complain about this. I've read a lot variously about multiple refresh rates and especially variable refresh rates being problematic but it all looks like old information.

I have two monitors, one 4k@60Hz and one 1440p@144Hz (GSync on this one). There's a third TV plugged in but off in settings, 4K@60Hz.

If I turn everything off except the 4k I still see the stutter.

Finally:

RTX3060, Fedora, GNOME on Wayland (I have tried KDE same problem), Nvidia 580.x "open" (which is what Fedora installs from nonfree without any further interference), ... (did I miss something important?)

Can _anyone_ see something I'm missing here?

Title is pretty self-explanatory, how do I run it on Linux? (im using nobara and I do not have any bit of previous linux experience)

This is my first time trying linux and Ive tried gameconqueror and pince as alternatives to cheat engine but those do not have the functionality im looking for (like running cheat tables, etc). I also tried installing cheat engine and running it through wine but it cannot find games that are currently running, searching on google didnt really give me a clear answer unfortunately and the "answers" I found were, to be honest, too complicated for me at this stage.

If anyone knows how to run it, please explain to me like Im 10 years old (like I said, I have 0 linux experience). Thanks in advance

Okay, so I have been working trying to figure out why Halo Infinite has been crashing for the last month but finally found the reason, I think.

Distro: Fedora 43 KDE

Hardware: AMD 7800x3d, AMD 7800xt, 64GB RAM

The error wasalwayring gfx_0.0.0 followed with ring gfx_gfx.0.0.0 reset failure. I looked into it and it was likely a mesa or kernel issue. I rolled back Mesa. Same issue. The kernel? Still crashing. Other Proton versions? No. What about Gnome instead of KDE? Maybe, just maybe. No. Bazzite? I heard they do some custom things with the kernel for gaming. Same thing. CachyOS? Same thing. Ubuntu 25.10? 25.04? Debian? All crashing with the same error.

Now, before all of this, i tried take my settings down. I was at 720p, 60hz, no hdr, no vrr, 8 bit color with limited RGB range. In game, i set it graphics quality to low. It didnt help.

I was going crazy. Surely it has to be something. I play more demanding games than this for hours and hours wirhout an issue. I checked everything. Then....Async Compute.....checked? Mmmm. Uncheck.

It has been runnning now for 6 hours and no crash at all. Awesome. But here's my question. Why? Anything i can do to fix it? My FPS is at about 50% of what it was. 1080p on low is barely hitting 140fps. Before, it was locked at 240.

Hello, I am quite new to linux, and i really don't want to return to windows My problem here is that in games i have freezes that is stopping completely until i alt-tab.
Those freeze happens randomly, i do not see any specific error in my logs ( perhaps i am not looking properly )
Here is my configuration :
OS : endeavour OS
Desktop : gnome ( xwayland )
Graphic card : nvidia RTX 5080
I have an RTX 5080 card and i am using open nvidia dkms driver.
My driver version is 590.48.01, maybe i need to downgrade my driver but this seems weird. Do you guys know what could be my problem here ?
Thanks a lot

Yo! I launched Zordeer on the Snap Store, but currently the Snap version doesn't support creating a Zordeer category in the app menu, nor using the UMU launcher. But I'm already working on fixing that.

To connect the necessary plugs for most things to work, use this command:

sudo snap connect zordeer:joystick && sudo snap connect zordeer:mount-observe && sudo snap connect zordeer:removable-media && sudo snap connect zordeer:udisks2
