I'm thinking of picking up a used PS5 for exclusives that are not available on Steam and for the occasional multiplayer titles that require anticheat. Are there any preferred capture cards that work OOTB with OBS on Linux? Are any of you bros doing it?

I've beem playing mgs V from Steam on mint for a while now. Then I got a mechanical keyboard with a volume knob from Keychron. Only this game reads the volumeknovb as a mouse pointer and a joystick and make the camera look at the zenith and the "front buttom to be constantly pressed". This resultskon all menus being constantly scrolled up and snake runningaround while looking up. Being a Linux noob I used chattgpt to guide me. Deactivated the knob completely by making the pc not see the joystick/mouse devices of the keyboard. Didn't work. Added a script on mgsv through steam to make it read only specific devices, didn't work. Added a script on linux todeactivate these devices on MGSV start up. Didn't work. At the end Chat told me that on Linux games running on the FOX engine read all devices natively and I can do nothing but getting another keyboads. Doea anyone have an idea for a fix?

Edit: I've heard of wine but I'm not sure what it is and I haven't installed/used it so far as the proton layer has been doing and excellent job with any other game.

This might be a silly question, but everyone that posts screenshot of their fastfetch has and amd cpu. At first I thought it was because of compatibility issues, just like nvidia drivers, but after using my Intel pc with an 11th Gen i9 I have not noticed a single compatibility issue or any other kind of instability. Not only, I've even tried linux on a 4th Gen i7, a 3rd Gen i3 and going all the way down to a 1st get i7 and i5. 0 issues, 0 instability, just pure enjoying. the real deal has always been nvidia, and this is why I switched to a Radeon gpu a couple weeks ago. Again, sorry if it's a silly question but I never understood what's better with amd or if this is just a user choice.

Hello, I using Fedora 43 Workstation, and playing games using Big Picture mode in Steam.

When the game is open, the Steam overlay doesn't open, or rather, it opens but not over the game. Only disabling "GPU web page rendering" helps. The strangest thing is that this problem doesn't exist on KDE. How can I get it to work on Gnome with acceleration enabled?

Apologies if this isn't the right sub to ask on, but as the heading states, I'm having issues with the side buttons on my Razer Naga.

I've found an unresolved post on a github page with someone else having the same issues about six months ago and have tried executing a command from the post to put the device in "driver mode" which is:

echo -n -e "\x03\x00" > /sys/bus/hid/drivers/razermouse/0003:1532:00B4.0001/device_mode

This in fact got it to work, and I'm able to use the side buttons. However, when my mouse is turned off or goes to sleep, I'm faced with the same issue as it seems to reset itself.

The command is a band-aid fix and I'd rather not execute it repetitively, so I was wondering if there was a way to make it persistent? Appreciate the help in advance!

Hi, I'm a newbie!

A couple of days ago I installed Arch Linux. Previously in Windows 11 I used to play Minecraft using the “bypass” method (English is not my first language, i'm not really sure how to call it...): you run the demo version of the game, view the command line with Process Explorer, copy it, and then create your own .bat file by removing “DEMO” and the necessary key instances.

I was wondering if there is a way to do the same thing in Linux. Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but I'm not sure how or where else to do so-

I can relive my childhood :))))

I am planning to purchase Jedi Fallen Order. I was thinking of avoiding any DRM conflicts if I purchase through the EA app. But what about Linux compatability, will Steam be better? Thanks for reading.

Hey all, recently downloaded Bazzite (KDE) is there anyway to boost the saturation/vibrance like through adrenaline on windows? (AMD GPU)

So this is an odd question, but I have a 9060 XT. I used to have a 3060, had it for 5 months to be exact and DLSS 4, not 3, 4, just doesn't look as good as FSR4 does, and FSR4 AA looks sharper. FSR4 Ultra Performance for example just looks significantly more like "yeah, that can look like 1080p to the untrained eye", on par if not better than DLSS L.

And I know many people will say that it is on par with DLSS 4 and that of course it'll look better in certain scenarios, or how it upscales may just be more pleasing to my eyes.

I can't go back and test DLSS as I'm in the process of selling my 3060. I already thought DLSS 4.5 looked pretty good too, so I'm not saying DLSS looks bad. But I'm just curious given how many reviewers and individuals say FSR4 is on par with 4 and a bit worse than 4.5.

The only reason I've had to keep Windows 11 has been gaming, but I just can't anymore. I'm switching to Linux gaming within the month, likely within the next two weeks. I have an NVIDIA GPU, so I am thinking either Bazzite or CachyOS.

There's only two minor issues. One, I have never gotten WINE to work every time I tried it (I've used Ubuntu for years). And two, the games I want to be able to play have proprietary launchers. I play WoW and Warframe with my son, and Cyberpunk 2077 on my own. Everything else I want Steam is more than adequate for. So WINE and Proton seem inevitable in my future.

I'm no noob to Linux, but I feel like one to Linux gaming. So I ask for help/advice. Which OS is better for performance (especially with NVIDIA), WINE setup, and any launchers that have been written for Linux for the three mentioned games.

I know I am leaning on the community, and that I will have to learn. I just... I can't with Windows any longer. Help?

So I found out the other day that I could have 1 massive game folder that goes across all of my drives using mergerfs.

I have games on my nvme ssd, a raid 0 array, and an external ssd usb drive. Managing three different library locations in Lutris/Steam is a headache, and moving games between drives usually means updating paths and breaking shortcuts.

Using mergerfs I set up a "Union Mount" that takes all three locations and merges them into a single folder in my home directory "/home/Games". To the OS and my launchers, it looks like one giant drive.

It was simple as hell to set up just install mergerfs, and then update the fstab file.

Hey so i have been havinga problem recently with trying to play some games from steam like 7days because i keep getting a disk write error in my temp folder them. Im pretty sure this is from me dual booting the system at some point with windows and now i cant start some of them at all. I sthere any way i can actually fix this or do i just have to reinstall just to play some of my games

HDR visualisation in Ori and the Will of the Wisps

This is the HDR visualization setting in SteamOS that can be enabled in the developer settings. Very useful for setting HDR in games as not all games give a nit value on their brightness sliders.

I use reshade and these effects to get the same overlay on w*ndows 11 for the same use.

Is there a tool that i am able to use to get this working on my own linux install?
