When I was on Gnome, and then Cosmic I used Kooha to take videos of my desktop.

On the same system (and same linux install) I'm now using SwayWM and having trouble getting Kooha working. When I go to start a recording I get the following error:

``` Failed to start recording

Caused by: 0: Failed to create session 1: Failed to call CreateSession with parameters: Variant { ptr: 0x55899eb17550, type: VariantTy { inner: "(a{sv})" }, value: "({'session_handle_token': <'kooha_0'>, 'handle_token': <'kooha_1'>},)" } 2: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast” on object at path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop ```

I'm struggling to figure out what's the best way to resolve this. Anyone have any ideas?

I just installed Mint and updated everything prior to downloading and launching some games for testing. I played Vintage Story (ran flawlessly) and then went to Overwatch 2, since it was listed as platinum on ProtonDB.

I launched it, and after letting it process the Vulkan Shaders for nearly two hours, it finally opened up.

It was a bit stuttery for a moment but then it leveled out. As soon as I clicked on a menu item (this time being the shop) the game lagged, then froze. I had to force quit it to get control of my computer back.

Anything I’m missing?

I launched the game through Steam and I’ve attached a picture of my system here

Hi, I'll keep it short.

cpu 5800x3d
gpu nvidia 3060 ti (port dp)
oled monitor 240hz

CachyOS, with only gamescope and steam installed from repo.

Game is old, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey

Launch options from Steam: gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 250 -f -- %command%

Options I have tried are:

-e, --steam
--expose-wayland
--backend wayland
--framerate-limit 250

Nothing I do on this game will limit the fps.

What is causing this? This happens with or without any environmental variables. Game and system upgraded fully. Game is fine otherwise, just this in the inventory.

Arch Linux

I'm trying to mod dragons dogma 2 and it needs this funny thing called REFramework to get 2 mods in particular(this and this), I did put them in the correct places I even tried to use Fluffly mod manager with protontricks to no avail obviously. When I launch the game RE Framework does work, but it cannot make the mods themsevs work. Gives me an error that the locations can't be read even tho it acknowledges they exist.

Can anybody help?

So what are some alternative software for Steel series sonar where I'm able to game/chat mix and EQ, Logitech for MnK and rgb, and rgb for my fans and ram sticks?

Hi, I am searching an ARGB controller that is kompatible to OpenRGB. The important thing is, that I need to connect the controller via USB on my mainboard, not 5V RGB Port.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I made a cli tool for managing proton. It detects proton/ge-proton installations and uses them to run non-steam games or other software. More details can be found on my github page. You can ask anything you want through here too!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a small indie horror project I’ve been working on that runs natively on Linux.

The Taco is a short PSX style psychological horror game inspired by PS1 era graphics. It’s a story driven, atmospheric horror experience focused on tension, sound design, and slow psychological buildup rather than constant jumpscares.

The game takes place during a late night shift at a street taco stand, where the environment slowly becomes unsettling.

The demo is around 20–30 minutes long and includes two possible endings.

(native build, no Proton required).

If anyone here plays indie or horror games on Linux, I’d really appreciate feedback — especially regarding performance or compatibility.

Playable on itch.io: https://toprak-dev.itch.io/the-taco

Launch options: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command%
compatibility: proton 7.0-6

I can play fine with the ocassional slight performance issue, but cut scenes get weird. They don't crash the game, but are unwatchable.

Oi galera, eu começei a usar Linux faz pouco tempo e estou tendo problemas com o bottles.Ele não está abrindo os arquivos .exe, nem o que você pode instalar diretamente nele. Ele reconhece o arquivo, ele fica no aplicativo, mas se vc tenta executar-los fica uns segundos tentando abrir e não acontece nada. Alguém tem alguma ideia do que pode ser? ( Obs: eu instalei o bottles em flatpak e a distro que estou usando é mint, se isso ajuda)

Hi folks, I'm planning to buy a good laptop in this republic sale.

My requirements are: 1). Game Development 2). Android App Development 3). Cyber security tools usage.

My budget is around 90K.

Can someone recommend me best laptop which I can buy in this sale?

Sometimes (let's say, once every hour), the game freezes for 5 seconds~ or so.

On my screen everything is freezed, on the death replay (assuming I die during these freezes), I can see that the game client continues sending the command that was being sent during the freeze (such as walking forward etc).

I play OW for a long time on Linux, I had never faced this. Anyone else? Any tips?

• 5090
• 9950x3d
• 64gb ram
• manjaro
• GE-Proton10-10 (I don't remember if this also happens on Proton 9/10/Experimental)

not sure if this is the best place to ask but i just switched to Linux mint and everything is going fine so far and most of my steam games play fine... but i went to play blue prince and i tried every proton compatibility layer available and no matter which i use the game will not launch. i have tried reinstalling it and verify installed files integrity but nothing has worked yet, any advice will be welcomed. it plays fine on my steamdeck so i know its not a Linux problem necessarily.

Any help appreciated! It seems that it registered the two three way switches incorrectly. One of the positions for the second is for example only possible with the correct position of the first switch?

I would like to know if i can use FSR4 on Monster Hunter Wilds for example on a older RDNA1 GPU.

Hello!

I've recently wanted to try Gnome once again because, honestly, I prefer the defaults all around but I'm having a huge blocker right now due performance regressions under Gnome.

I'll use Fallout 76 as a reference point, since its a DX11 game and it should not present the performance penalty of DX12 with Nvidia.

9800X3D

4K Display with HDR @ 120fps and VRR

RTX5800

Overall, under KDE, I report a pretty smooth experience (having disabled the vars on the game to allow me achieve unlocked framerate), and mostly, with the correct settings I have 110-120 fps locked most of the time and very stable frametimes.

Once I changed to Gnome session, under the exact same conditions, area, and settings, I have a lot more stuttering, the frames drop from 110-120 to 80-90, and I see the frametime showing a behavior most of the time, that feels like some tripple buffering or some other sort of attempting to vsync.

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1

PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1

ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1

Gnome right now has VRR, and I'm always below the max framerate of my monitor, this should not happen at all.

Has the community ever found performance differences under Gnome compared to KDE? Did I find an edge case bug somewhere?

Look at that frametime go! It should be flat like it was on KDE
