I also tried using these env variables, but they don't work

Does anyone have any pointers what I should do?

I have this peculiar issue with Wuthering Waves, the game runs, but mouse UI doesn't work, if i put the game on my wacom monitor and enable touch i can interact with the menu using the touch feature and if i use my mouse and cursor and click it will interact exactly where i touched the screen last even tho the cursor is somewhere else.

Tried plugging in my Xbox controller and inputs do not work, if i press the Xbox logo i get steam overlay so the controller itself does work, on other games it has no problems.

I tried on Hyprland and KDE and the problem is the same, tried with gamescope but no luck there either, on Nobara 43.

The game runs flawlessly other than that, i can turn my camera with the mouse do attacks and such, i can use my keyboard to move without any issue, just getting into menus i can't do anything with my mouse.

How much is the linux experience going to be with amd gpu? I know i would have better HWA with all browser. witch nvidia only have with firefox based browser. I know you could pick the color bit rate with amd but not with nvidia. I know the performance loss is not the same, Amd suffers bearly 5% give or take but nvidia losses around 20% on linux, So is selling the rtx 4080 for 3000sar and buying the rx 9700xt for 2700sar worth it ? And i also wanna enjoy the console like session(steam deck gamescope session) that know works better with amd and fine with nvidia as long as i stay at 2k. And how is the hdmi 2.1 support for amd mess driver ?

One more thing i use rtx video hdr alot on windows and found an alternative on linux that works with mpv well it work with amd gpues ?

I mean sorry for the messy post my mind is in a mess and i cant make my mind

Hello!

I recently switched from windows 10 to Pop_os and everything is working smoothy but for some reason when I try to play Clair Obscure with my ps5 controller It just doesn't work, I even tried using steam input but it didn't help.
In all the other games I have tried it worked flawlessly with or without steam input.

I'm using proton 9 and and nvidia RTX3060.
What could I try to solve the problem? Thanks!

I get about 15-30 fps more using Linux. Games that i tested are not natively supported by linux. Indiana Jones and Metaphor:Refantazio as examples.

Indiana Jones on Windows without frame gen i get 40-45 fps. On linux without frame gen i get 56-70 fps.

Metaphor Refantazio on Windows 40-55 fps. On linux 70-100 fps.

I suspect such increase is due to higher CPU and RAM usage on Wndows.

My distro: CachyOS Laptop: Legion 5 Pro with RTX 3070 mobile RAM: 16 GB

Hello everyone. Another Linux gamer needs your help. I recently decided to try using steam natively as the launcher for my games, since I heard that it's pretty good now. Until then I was just launching the exe files via Faugus launcher. I installed the required Proton packages and set everything up as needed (enabling proton, choosing the version and for a good meassure even forcing proton) and tried launching my game, which I know my laptop can play, but nothing happened. It just started, displayed nothing and then shut down. I tried several different Proton versions, but nothing helped. I'll be grateful for any advice on how to resolve this. Oh and also, I'm using Fedora linux. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a UF A15 FA507NV and when I open steam (not a steam game, just steam) my laptop fans start going like crazy. I'm using Nobara OS.

I have a GTX 4080 and im looking to OC using LACT. I used afterburner extensively for years and had a good stable OC for my 4080 and want to replicate that in linux using LACT but im not sure about the P state settings and the offsets.

First question is, should i only be using P State 0?

Second question, are the offsets the same as afterburner? So, if i had a +150 core and a +750 memory in Afterburner, would i use those same offsets in the GPU P0 and VRAM P0?

Thanks for any help!

Can someone find some way to make a Steam-like game shortcut but for Game Jolt, it would be extremely convenient.

has anyone tried niri (with or without noctalia) for gaming? how terrible is it?

First time running a linux system, using the latest mint version.

RTX5060, Ryzen 5 7600

A lot of the threads about ED say it runs mostly out of the box just with downgrading proton. I tried a bunch of different valve proton versions and recommended protonGE versions. None of them fix the instant crash. The furthest I've gotten was with proton GE 8-3 which actually processed the vulkan shaders before booting the launcher and crashing like usual. made sure my nvidia drivers were up to date as well. Verified the game files just in case but all was fine there.

Total linux noob here so I'm not sure what I could be doing. I've also seen some threads mentioning something called lutrix? Haven't tried that yet.

im never going back to windows by the way.

i'm new to linux and don't know much about gaming in handheld and pc in general. context about me is i've heard & seen the games but never actually played it. my gaming experience up until now is more on mobile competitive games. i got this laptop just about prepandemic during college and rarely used it since then. was able to play gta5, forza 4 or 5, witcher 3, and overcooked 2 back when the os is win10. haven't officially tried gaming yet on linux. i came here to ask to know where i am based off of my laptop's specs and situation. i watched youtube relating to this and i've come to learn a little that there's something about nvidia to linux drivers wise. i can't really tell much other than that. also, the content that i watched has rtx something specs being used, 4060 something which i think is far superior to what my 1660ti can do. while the comparison between the mint to other gaming distros is somewhat close than being far fps wise. i still want to know from the community.

with that being said, now i wonder if distros matter to my setup. should i change or not? i dont wanna go in deep with linux mint and later regret that there's better option at my disposal.

now that i have the energy to get back to gaming again, like play older 3A's, maybe cyberpunk too, some modern ones if it can and a lot of indie games. basically wanna play it like how and what games that can be played in a handheld. will mainly play in steam too. ill stick to playing this laptop until i have the budget to get a decent/comfortable gaming experience performance/ux wise like those latest handhelds today.
