this thing either works or doesn't, sometimes i'm able to connect with no issues by simply turning on my controller, but right now i'm trying to figure out why it's not connecting and it's even persisting after reboots, i have the dongle plugged into the dock and i've tried just plugging the dongle straight into my front panel but that didn't work, reddit told me 8bitdo was amazing on linux so why is this shit happening

sup, first post wohoo. so i use cachyos in a hp victus 16 laptop with an rtx 4070-i7 14700hx-32gb ram-1tb m.2. i experienced low fps in some games compared to when i was on win11, though it was tolerable. but in deadlock specifically, its kinda bad. fps is about 120, which aint bad but its definitely not what i got on windows. and the worst part is my fps drops to 40~ about 10 minutes in any match. ive tried a lot of launch settings, in-game settings, different proton versions (including GE) though no good. do yall have any ideas to solve this? (btw i use kde plasma-wayland if that helps) appreciate it in advance.

Has anyone tried this? Let’s take for an example, RedMagic 11 Pro with 24gb of ram. Although emulators can be ran but it often isn’t ran at full power and waste ALOT of unnecessary battery significantly ruining the battery life. The phone could be flashed and have the native android system replaced with postmarketOS (requires unlocking the bootloader which VOIDS THE WARRANTY, NOT ADVISED). Using the recommended configuration (8gb VRAM and 16gb RAM) the thing can theoretically run cyberpunk on high settings at 50-60fps (Although the recommended CPU is i7-12700 it performs better than Snapdragon 8 elite 5 atleast on turbo mode.)

So, Has anybody done this? This is a steamdeck killer! And significantly outperforming other handhelds at comparable price.

Just a PSA for people who might have experienced this same issue. I play mop classic and tbc anniversary on my nvidia arch linux desktop. At some point I started getting really bad fps in mop classic. around 10fps. This was fixed by rebooting the machine. But tbc anniversary always ran with good fps.

Long story short. I eventually figured out its because the gpu mhz was somehow getting locked at 210 when I was playing mop. My start script for anniversary was using gamemoderun. My start script for mop doesn't.

I added gamemoderun to the mop start script and I get the proper 2100mhz now. So good performance for both games.

Hi guys. I recently changed my OS to archlinux and tried loading The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and had this really weird issue.

the W key does not work! Not in the gameplay and not even for scrolling through options in the main menu.

Really curious if anyone encountered this issue before cause I cannot find it anywhere

(-_-)

note:

Yes I have checked the key bindings

Yes I have tried several Proton versions with no help

Yes I have upgraded the Vulkan drivers

Tried using different proton versions, launching options nothing seems to make the game work. I keep only getting this error. Sometimes, rarely, I get this error on different lines. Can someone help out?

Wondering if anyone has any insight, it's kind of hard to google this one.

But I've noticed that when gaming, for quite a lot of games, and across different computers that I've had, the game will go from 60 fps to 5fps that kind of stutters for a few seconds, and then back to 60 fps.

It almost feels like what happens when a java based game does garbage collection, but it's obviously not that.

I've never had this on windows computers, but it's a consistent problem across multiple computers I've used for linux gaming.

I sold my RTX4070S to buy a 9070XT to enjoy a better support of linux with the AMD drivers and support the open source will of AMD.

The card is installed and works on kde. Now, how to check if this card is working well under gaming load? Like a free benchmark where i can compare my results to other (not to found who has the biggest one, just to check if I'm in the normal results).

I tried - 3DMark : 30€ - GravityMark : error at launch, web page empty - gameTechBench : everything needs to be paid, even the scoreboard, the min/max fps display etc

Thanks!

Hey guys!
Old thing I know but tierd of dual bothing and about time to distro hop from Mint.

Been playing Warframe on my Linux/Windows dual boot setup no problem for about a month. Yesterday though I've started getting so many bad crashes, especially when I'm in a multiplayer squad and sometimes when a lot of things need to load quickly (decorations in my orbiter) but that usually doesn't do it. I've played the game before solo and in multiplayer without issues, and I can still play the game solo no problem. I tried to change to an older kernel, I tried updating my drivers and I tried to verify the integrity of the game files. I have also tried to use the log tools that the Warframe launcher has, but sadly it doesn't seem to work on Linux. The most info I've been able to get is that when the game crashes the bug report tool tells me that graphics drivers are probably the issue. I play the game through Steam, with the Proton 10.0-4 compatibility layer.

Here's my system info:

Is there any non-fancy way to test how fast your computer's response time in a game is?

hi folks.

title says it all. what is the difference between those modes?
i heared that accuracy has a performance impact.
is the ,,accuracy" mode really that much better color wise?

which option should i use as a gamer and am i going to see a difference on oleds?
this setting is very confusing, what exactly does it do ?

By request of u/throwawayerectpenis I am making a report of my second week of using Linux for gaming. Honestly, I did not plan on doing this post, but oh well. I know some of you might recall the one that I made about a week ago, if not, you know how to find it.

Moving on, let me remind you that I have been using Linux, mostly Kubuntu, for work for about a decade. I worked in the website hosting industry, so naturally, I had to use Linux for a daily driver and so on and so on. Clients also mostly bought Linux based servers, so yeah, while this is my second week of using Linux for gaming, I am not a stranger to this OS.

Anyway, so far I am loving it and thinking why I did not do this sooner. I mean, boot times are better, FPS might be a bit higher, and there is a strong deficit of bloatware. Microshit can go and sodomize themselves. Now, is Linux perfect? Nope. But it's way easier to configure/adjust a few things here and there than to deal with updates that add no real value and demand and dictate how your PC should work. I paid for my PC, I get to decide how it works and with what, my choice, not some vibe-coded retards choice. This is not a rant, I am merely sharing how things are for me.

For the first week, I mostly got Steam up and running and played a few games. Nothing major, GTA IV was a bit fussy since it is an older game, but I managed to make it work. I did not, however, expect that I needed to manually connect my Spartan Gear controller through the Terminal/Konsole via Bluetooth. Maybe it is on me, but the GUI (KDE) just did not work. But that was not a deal breaker. I connected the controller with the PC once, and now each time I feel like using it, I press the startup button, and it is ready to use in less than a second. This is something that took Windows about 10 seconds, and sometimes, it forgot that the controller even existed, therefore, it had to connect to it from scratch. That aside, games bought from Steam pretty much work out of the box. Yes, sometimes some Proton dependencies need to set manually, but that must be the price of freedom.

What about games outside of Steam? Well, I got WoW up and running. Lutris handled it for me, got Battle.net running, which installed WoW itself. Note that this was not made for me, GF is a WoW fan. And from her POV, it works just like on Winshit, just the booting sequence has different pictures and shortcuts. She's also loving how the KDE GUI allows things to happen faster via custom shortcuts. All in all, no complaints so far. This, to my mind, suggests that a fully configured OS is ready for an end user, respectfully. Maybe some maintenance here and there.

Closing time, I suppose, so here are some final thoughts. Now, on Winshit, I could press Ctrl + R and see my FPS, to which I may have paid too much attention. Right now, I am not sure how to do that, and I might be happier this way. Instead of keeping an eye on the top-left corner to monitor FPS, I actually play the game, and to me, it works just fine. Yeah, I can enable the FPS counter, but right in front of my eyes, I can see a game that is running just fine. So maybe ignorance is bliss. But perhaps I should really enable it to make an actual comparison. Don't rightfully know at this point, so a few opinions would be much appreciated.

And lastly, Space Marine II was on sale, got it, installed it, and it works great for about 99% of the time. There are a few very short periods of time during which the FPS drops for a few seconds. I admit, I have not yet troubleshooted this at all, but I swear that this problem was not present on Winshit 10. As such, a few recommendations on where to look and so on would also be appreciated. After all, we are a community, are we not? I'd also be glad to answer any questions that you may have. Also, this guy might have solved it just recently, but I am yet to review this in full detail.

I've recently set up a dual boot on my Win 10 machine (i7-7700, GTX1080, 64GB RAM) with Pop OS + GNOME using X11 (I think I got that right? I was following instructions from ChatGPT that seemed right). I've installed Steam with no probs, most games install and work fine but Sea Of Thieves requires me to log into my MS Account but it presents me with this. I know it should be showing me a number and link to the authorisation page but this is all I get. The AI gave me the MS devicelogin url to enter the code in but I don't have a code.

Any ideas on how to get this to come up properly?

Edi: And I did search, some people had similar issues but I couldn't find a solution. But ProtonDB seems to indicate it should just work. I've tried Proton Hotfix, Experimental and 10.0-4, all with the same result.

I haven't touched my computer in a while due to personal issue and soon I'll be coming back to it. it's a really old PC rocking an i3 4th gen cpu, last time I used windows 10 and never really touched windows 11 but I heard it's really bad. so I was wondering should I just install Linux in my PC that's coming this week? pewds really like linux
