Howdy, I was thinking about twitching Tekken 8 on Steamdeck to get the best possible input lag with stable 60 fps. I'm talking about proton stuff, and heavy unreal engine modifications. Anyone got this game working flawless on the system? (Ofc I know that game can looks like poop, but input lag and being stable are the most important parts for me).

I bought a Redragon keyboard and a Kysona mouse. I saw that both have Windows applications, I tried running them via Wine but they didn't work.

If I create a VM with Windows 10 and install both programs, will it work and will the VM recognize the peripherals?

Intel arc Meteor lake integrated gpu (Msi claw ultra 5) CachyOS handheld edition (exactly same results on bazzite) low settings 720p xess performance.

I know this gpu doesn’t run well on linux, but I wonder if there’s any fix considering its running at very low clock speeds. It’s running around 1300 mhz on windows with the same settings.

Changing tdp setting and clock speeds in steam have zero effect. Can’t get handheld daemon to work on cachy, but it was set to full tdp on bazzite with the same problem.

Is there any way to check what tdp I’m actually running? Or any way to set a fixed clock speed on my gpu?

Doom 2016 seem to run a bit better with like 50-60 fps high settings 1080p openGL.

Question everyone, I just picked up the 8bitdo ultimate 2 (purple) and connected it to my bazzite steam machine. It's works right out the box no issue buuuut there is something that is driving me nuts. I am playing ghost of tsushima and some button prompts are wrong. Fast travel/standoff, the on screen prompt tells me to press X but I actually have to press Y (which corresponds to triangle and which is the correct button). R2 for picking up items shows up as a question mark and so does the menu button for privacy settings. Now I know the question mark means there is no mapped button, but in the R2 instance, when I press R2 it actually works. The fast travel thing is also not a remap settings since in combat, the X button actually works as intended.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

TL;DR: I'm running Linux Mint 22.2 (Noble base). The pro tool refused to work. I temporarily edited /etc/os-release to mimic Ubuntu 24.04, enabled esm-apps, and then immediately reverted the file back to Linux Mint defaults. I successfully pulled 25 security patches (ffmpeg, imagemagick, etc.) from the ESM repo. apt seems happy, but is this a bad idea?

Is this "spoof and revert" method safe for my system long-term, or am I setting myself up for dependency hell later?

Detailed Steps of What I Did:

1. The Problem: I tried to run sudo pro enable esm-apps, but it failed because it detected "Linux Mint 22.2 (Zara)" which isn't supported.
2. The "Hack": I backed up my release file and then modified /etc/os-release using sed to look exactly like Ubuntu 24.04 LTS:
   • Changed ID=linuxmint to ID=ubuntu
   • Changed VERSION_ID="22.2" to VERSION_ID="24.04"
   • Changed VERSION_CODENAME=zara to VERSION_CODENAME=noble
3. The Activation: With the OS spoofed, I ran sudo pro enable esm-apps. It worked instantly and generated the APT sources/keys.
4. The Revert: Immediately after enabling it, I restored the original /etc/os-release backup. My system reports as Linux Mint 22.2 again.
5. The Result:
   • I ran sudo apt update and verified it's hitting https://esm.ubuntu.com/apps/ubuntu noble.
   • I ran sudo apt upgrade and it installed ~25 security patches.
   • ffmpeg -version now shows 6.1.1-3ubuntu5+esm6.
   • Mint Update Manager seems fine since I reverted the OS ID.

Has anyone else run this "Hybrid" setup (Mint OS + Ubuntu Pro Tokens) long-term? Does apt ever get confused between the Mint repos and the ESM repos since I'm technically no longer spoofing the OS ID?

I swear to god Linux is really bad when it comes to laptops. Anything I set up either my laptop is overheating and I get stutters, if I disable turbo boost on my cpu, the performance is bad. How do you use Linux on your gaming laptops. I plan to have a dual boot system, because I need Windows for a few things.

Just moved over to Linux Mint Cinnamon, been really good so far but mount and blade just refuses to boot. I tried via lutris AND Proton-GE. It starts up, then immediately offers a pop-up that the program has stopped responding. No idea what to do, i just want to get my band of roving horse archers :(

P.S. If you find Windows runs to be much smoother than Linux - it's not true. Rivatuner (statistics server) on Windows by default smooths out frametime/fps values, and some users didn't disable it, or didn't know about it (including me at the start of this project).

Has anyone tested whether they have gotten banned since the latest Proton patch? Was thinking of getting it

(My computer is a 2013 imac, GT 755m, 32gb)

Im pretty new to linux I have tried mint and cachyos before and they were nice I haven't tried fedora however.

in a operating system I mainly consider, Speed/preformance like overall and in gaming, Ease of installation, good for development, not needing to always tinker everything just to get it working, and a gui/automated option for most things

I can't open Far Cry 4 or Fallout 4. I'm using the latest version of Proton; it won't open or do anything. I'm using the Linux Mint distribution with a GT 1030 graphics card and a 4th generation i5 processor.

Hi there, and merry Christmas to you all!

Straight to the point: my brother gave me a Meta Quest 3S for Christmas this year (it’s really cool, by the way — I’ve already been having a lot of fun with it), and I’ve been thinking about developing something for it.

I’m not very familiar with XR these days, but it seems like a growing market, and I’m honestly REALLY impressed with the technology. That said, I’m not entirely sure what the right setup on Linux looks like. There’s a lot of scattered information out there, and it feels like mostly noise.

What I’d like to achieve is something like this:

• A “productivity mode”, where I can set up virtual monitors in AR/VR and do my normal coding work directly in them.
• A “game / XR mode”, where I can run an XR app and test it on the headset.

Ideally, I’d like to switch between these two modes without constantly taking the headset on and off, and without having to rebuild and sideload an APK every single time I want to test something (I’d be using Unity, by the way).

I know a workflow like this is possible on Windows using Oculus Link + Virtual Desktop, but I’ve been a Linux user for years now, and I really don’t want to move to Windows. I’m very comfortable with my current setup and workflow.

For context, I’m currently running Arch Linux + DWM, no compositor and no full desktop environment. I also know next to nothing about SteamVR, Monado, OpenXR, or the whole XR stack on Linux, so any guidance there would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, and happy holidays!

I cant load up my sims ,

Linux Mint 22.2

AMD Ryzen 9 5900x / Radeon RX 9060 XT

Mesa 25.0.7-0ubuntu0.24.04.2

Tried adding the following to /etc/environment but cinnamon either crashes or boots to a blackscreen

LIBGL_KOPPER_DRI2=1
MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink

Been using this card for a bit under a month since switching from an rtx 3060, had no issues until just a few days ago when I'd start to get amdgpu driver failures playing modded Minecraft, requiring a hard reset to fix, and other previously playable games are crashing within minutes. Been running in circles trying to find bandaid fixes but I haven't been able to make anything work yet.

I am getting the amdgpu: Ring gfx_0.0.0 reset failure error in journalctl when Minecraft locks the system up, no other games are as catastrophic at least, but as of now I'm quite certain my issues lie with OpenGL not playing nice.

OS: Fedora 43 workstation (Wayland Gnome)

Device: Honor Magicbook 16 Pro 2024 (Intel Ultra5 + Nvidia 4060 laptop)

I tried both proprietary and open nvidia driver, all working but not so well and perform simmilarly. Under throughput_performance in tuned, the games start fine, and I can see nvidia GPU power draw went to 60W in nvidia settings, and GPU utilisation is about 97%, but after few minutes just sitting in the game menu, CPU utilisation went up from 20% to 60% (around 650% for the game threads, all cores have simmilar utilisation rate), and my whole system is lagging, meanwhile GPU utilisation went down to 40%. iGPU utilisation didn't change much and remained very low during the whole process.

I can't figure out why this happens, is it thermal throttling? GPU never got up to 60C. Why would CPU utilisation go up for no apparent reason?

Games I tried to run are "RV there yet" and "Schedule 1", which I believe is not very demanding. "POOLS" also got very significant stuttering and was unplayable.

There are a few occasions when I changed bunch of game settings like resolution and window type, the FPS became normal again and I played for 30 minute until restart without any problems, but unfortunately restarting the game would result in earlier problems.

What's funny though is that "Red Dead Redemption 2" actually runs with higher stable fps.

I'm suspecting if somehow Proton or other translation layers involved caused CPU utilisation to go up the the point where the CPU is bottlenecking the system, or there might a manufacturer setting for performance that I cannot tweak in Linux?

I have reinstalled windows 11 and am planning to dual boot mint, any suggestion would be appreciated!

Hello everyone, I've got some updates to hopefully make the setup and process of actually using NaK a bit more user friendly. But first I have a few things to say! I'm going to be cutting back on the development for NaK to only make some minor changes if needed, like wrapping SLR around deps installs. But the main reason I'm cutting back on development is because I'm going to start actually learning rust and would like to make this a little less gen'd by AI! I hope the position NaK is currently at is a good stop gap for me to learn Rust. I hope you guys understand 😃

Changes:

Revamped the main menu, to explain a bit more on the whole flow for setting up Vortex or MO2. Also revamped the installation completed screen, to show the location of the prefix, launch files. How to add it to steam, and what file to use to actually open MO2.

Added DXVK_CONFIG="dxvk.enableGraphicsPipelineLibrary = False" as a export for amd users, as some modlist for bethesda games give this error if this isn't added:

Added DOTNET_ROOT="" to the launch file as anyone who uses Vortex or Synthesis and develops stuff with dotnet will get an error because wine tries to use the native linux build of dotnet.

Fix game registry should now apply automatically for upon launch (Only for MO2 Portable instances!)

SLR has been added but it currently doesn't do much other than you can add it and enable it for the instances.

WineDPI has been added as an option at the very end for you to configure and scale the window size. Not sure if it does anything if you enable wayland drive for proton.

Dotnet48 and Dotnet481 will now be installed correctly and now will no longer freeze mo2 when right clicking or double clicking mods. It will now also be installed on any proton thats 10+ or should be installed I hope.

Added an auto updater into NaK so if I release an update you should get a popup letting you know I release one.

Moving NaK from the settings now moves it and doesn't leave a symlink behind, in my testing I believe I caught all the issues with this migration. But it stores configs in the .config folder.

And then the final thing is I wish you guys a merry christmas ❤️
