Hi everyone,

I’m having a serious stability issue on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS and I’m looking for help to understand what might be causing it.

I’m experiencing complete system freezes.

The issue happens after a few hours of use, and especially when trying to play games, but it is not limited to gaming.

When the freeze occurs:

• The laptop screen turns off
• The external monitor becomes solid green
• Audio may loop
• Keyboard and mouse stop responding
• TTY cannot be accessed
• The system only recovers after a forced reboot

We already tried changing the kernel, but with newer kernels the issue becomes more frequent, not less.

I’m looking for help to understand what could be causing this and how to properly diagnose it.

Hello,

not really a gaming problem, but maybe someone can help. I use cachyos and just installed High-Tide but when I start it, it is stuck in "loading". Does someone have an idea?

Hey everyone! I'm sorry to be naive here but I want to provide the best experience I can for Linux users when our game (and demo) launches. Do these steam universal builds using the steam Linux runtime support most major distros? From what I read they are just containerized binaries for the runtime, but I'd like to make sure I hear from players what is best. Or do people prefer to rely on Proton just to avoid any runtime/distro specific issues that may be solved by Proton but unknown to the developer? On other non-steam platforms I guess I have to choose which major distros to support natively?

Thanks for any help and input! Right now our game builds/runs on Ubuntu natively without Steam... but to be honest it's the only distro that I've used personally/professionally so I'm out of the loop when it comes to supporting multiple distros.

How do I get VR working on Linux? My system is:

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600

GPU - Nvidia RTX 3060

RAM - DDR4 16 GB 3200MHz

MOTHERBOARD - Asus Tuf B550M-PLUS

OS - CachyOS (For some reason, I can't switch to Windows)

VR - Oculus Rift CV1, with two sensors and controllers

So, the problem is that no matter what I try, VR doesn't work for me - the most I've achieved is the Steam Home environment in lenses, but without tracking

I've tried all kinds of OpenHMD, Envision, Monado, and guides from other Reddits like https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/10d1m7y/i_created_a_guide_on_how_to_use_an_oculus_rift/, and asked Gemini and ChatGPT, but to no avail. If anyone has a similar system at home and uses the same VR headset, please write how you got everything working.

Как завести VR на Linux? Моя система это:

MOTHERBOARD - Asus Tuf B550M-PLUS

OS - CachyOS (По некоторым причинам я не могу на перейти на Windows)

VR - Oculus Rift CV1, с двумя сенсорами и контроллерами

Так вот, такая проблема что чем я не пользовался у меня никак не работает VR - максимум чего я добивался это окружения Steam Home в линзах, но без трекинга

Я пробовал всякие OpenHMD, Envision, Monado и гайды с других реддитов типа https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/10d1m7y/i_created_a_guide_on_how_to_use_an_oculus_rift/ и спрашивал Gemini и ChatGPT, но всё без толку. Если у кого-то стоит похожая система дома и работает такой же VR-шлем то напишите как у вас всё завелось

i wanted to create shortcuts to my non-steam games on my desktop but apparently just symlinking it doesn't work. i wrote a simple script that runs the game with bottles when u click on it and that's great and all, but i can't change the icon on it. for comparison, on a normal steam game, u can just right click on the shortcut, go into properties and change the icon however u want (as u can see on the left). any way i can do that for the script as well? thanks for reading

Does anyone off hand know where to find where Dolphin saves screenshots or where to find this in the settings?
I have found it before a couple times but it's always such an adventure I forget how I ended up there.
If there is any way to change where it saves them so it is in the home/pictures directory that would be awsome as well instead of digging through the file system.

As the title suggests, I have just made the move from Windows to Linux and I've been having trouble getting Linux to use me RX 7900XTX. The only game I have got to "work" is Minecraft (at 8 FPS), and using Mission Center I can see my CPU (Ryzen 7 5800X3D) pegged at 100% across all 16 processors, and my GPU at basically 0.

I then downloaded FurMark to see if I could get the benchmark to see the GPU, in the UI under "Vulkan GPUs" I see and have selected "AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (RADV NAVI31)" which looks promising, but again when I run the test, CPU is pegged to 100%, no GPU movement at all.

So far, I have installed the latest AMD driver (Radeon Software for Linux version 25.35 for Ubuntu 24.04.4 HWE, release date 2026-1-21) and I double checked my BIOS, there is no integrated graphics for this CPU from what I can tell.

I'm confused how my CPU is being used as a GPU without integrated graphics? Or I suppose there is a possibility that my GPU is being used and that my CPU is somehow the limiting factor in Minecraft and FurMark which I highly doubt.

Specs below. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated, I'm a bit of a noob at Linux so apologies if this is a dumb question, thanks.

OS: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core Processor

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

RAM: 32 GB 3600 MHz DDR4

Sup guys, first of all my english is horrible so im sorry if any mistake has been made.

So i thinking to change to linux about a year now, my PC is kinda laggy with w11 eating 20% of my RAM (16gb in total) and i dosnt fell in controll when i try to uninstall the fuckying edge and they dont let me, so i search and found about CachyOS and has been think to change to him, but its gonna be my first time using linux, its a good choice for someone who just use the computer to play cracked and legit games? i gonna have some sort of major trouble being a newbie in linux if i use cachy?

I’ve been working on a small personal project — a simple Minecraft launcher written in Python. I originally built it for myself because I wanted something lightweight and straightforward that doesn’t require a lot of setup.

Over time it grew into a usable tool with GUI/CLI, Forge/Fabric support and the ability to install mods and shaders from Modrinth. Now I’m curious if it’s useful for anyone else and would really appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

GitHub: https://github.com/IlyaP358/saturn_launcher.git

AUR (CLI): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/saturn-launcher

AUR (GUI): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/saturn-launcher-gui

Thanks.

I've been using linux for a few years but this just stumped me. I was trying to get the gog version of bioshock classic to run on my brothers potato laptop (it doesnt have a chance running the remastered version lol). I've been using heroic launcher as its what I'm most familiar with. I have tried a few versions of proton ge, I've disabled fsync/esync, installed various winetricks components (vcrun 2005, vcrun 2008, physx, dx9, dx10). I used environment variables to try force it to use dx9. Non of it working. It loads the logos but doesn't reach the menu. Any help really appreciated.

I built a small tool called Alice's Mirror. It serves a shared, persistent terminal in the browser over HTTP/WebSocket, with a mobile-friendly UI (key bar, clipboard-aware copy/paste). I use it mostly for Gemini / AI dev workflows, and quick check-ins from a phone on my LAN.

WHY IT EXISTS

- I wanted a browser-first terminal on phone/tablet without SSH apps, keys, or extra setup.

- I often keep a single shared session open across multiple devices while an agent runs.

WHY IT'S NICER THAN TMUX + SSH (FOR THIS USE CASE)

- Zero client setup: open a URL instead of installing SSH apps / setting up keys.

- Mobile-first controls: key bar + touch-friendly interactions + clipboard-aware copy/paste.

- Shared session: multiple clients can watch or interact with the same PTY in real time.

- Discovery built-in: optional LAN discovery (--visible) to find it quickly.

- Easy remote access: works well behind a tunnel (e.g., Cloudflare Tunnel) without exposing SSH.

FEATURES

- Shared PTY over HTTP/WebSocket (multi-client)

- Shell reset (kills process tree + respawns)

- Optional LAN discovery via mDNS + UDP (--visible)

- Basic Auth when --user + --password are set

- Linux + Windows binaries (Android server build coming soon)

Repo: https://github.com/aliceTheFarmer/alices-mirror

I'd love feedback on UX, security expectations, and feature gaps.
