Hi all,

Has anyone tried the current legion 5 ultra 7 w/ RTX 5060 for linux and gaming? I was wondering what kind of results you all had, how the battery life was for general use and how it worked for gaming? I know it’s newer so not sure how support is including if the dGPU can be put to sleep when doing general tasks for better battery life.

Hello, I'm looking for some help here.

I've got 8bitdo ultimate 2c wireless controller (one that can work with Bluetooth, wired and 2.4 dongle)

And I'm trying to set it up with USB dongle with dinput mode (to be able to use r4/l4 buttons in bazzite and steamos)

At first, i updated the firmware for controller and dongle using windows app,

Then i connected it to my bazzite box, and discovered it's in xinput mode and i can't map extra buttons freely.

I read a bit and found out that for those to work, i need dinput mode, so i checked every redsith thread, manual and manufacturer faq to read how to switch to dinput.

Using home + b was mentioned multiple times but it did not work for me, no matter if I pressed it with controller turned on, off, hold for 8 sec etc.

Its always ended up as xinput controller.

Then i checked with Bluetooth and i noticed that its working as dinput out of the box with r4/l4 registered and mappable.

Then i went back to 2.4, made more tests etc. Only to discover, that dongle firmware has issue and i had to revert it to V1.0 for switching to work.

At this moment, i can freely switch to xinput or dinput using home + x/b until controller powers off, and then again home + x/b until controller powers on - nice.

But 2.4 dinput is different than Bluetooth dinput.

Bluetooth have option to fully map extra buttons (just like on steam deck or with dualsense touchpad) but for 2.4 it is not possible to map those per game BUT they are working - when i choose to setup controller i need to map each button, and when i, for example choose to map l4 to "select" i can now use it as select (physical select button isn't doing anything now)

But I don't want to use them like that, i want to be able to use them as separate button and be able to attach macro or different keys to it, just like on steamdeck or other controllers of those type.

What can I do to make it work?

I read that its due to r4/l4 being mapped with "square" button, but i can't do anything to "reset" it using method described online (like "hold l4 and press square" i tried it and it doesn't produce any output.)

What else can I do to make it work?

Steam (both on bazzite and steamos) displays this pad as generic dinput controller and when choosing layout calls it "-".

Is it the experience I'm going to get? Or maybe there is something not documented that I'm missing here.

I've tried most things and I don't know what to do. I've tried launching through Steam, installing ds4drv (the controller works just fine with it), using the SteamVirtualGamepadInfo environment variable; I just can't get it to work with Heroic. I'm new to linux so maybe I'm just dumb.

Distro is Linux Mint (inside Flatpak) Version 22.3 Zena
Heroic: 2.18.1 "Waterfall Beard" Jorul / Legendary: 0.20.37 Exit 17 (Heroic) / Gogdl: 1.1.2 / Comet: comet 0.2.0 / Nile: 1.1.2 Will A. Zeppeli

I'm using a Turkish keyboard layout. In Street Fighter 5, when I press the “ı” key, the game doesn't recognize it and reacts as if I hadn't pressed anything. Why is it doing this? I never had this problem on Windows.

I found this one, and I've been loving the idea of changing from emudeck after reading more on retrodeck. This was a fun read, and interesting to see what went into it because its a full rewrite.

Does anyone here use retrodeck? Can you share if you enjoy it?

and i have 2 versions of steam somehow, idk what to do please send help.

When i install games that run native in linux they get uninstalled the next day when i boot up the pc, and i have to reinstallthem again ¿Anyone has a solution for this problem?

gaming on linux I think really is overhyped it’s very buggy every game has its own unique bug running under proton.

Hey!

First time here and maybe there were some similar posts for that I’m sorry.

Would like to ask someone who had experienced transition from windows to linux for gaming (I guess using proton/wine), was that something being frustrating for you or everything you play is running fine/better. (Yes I understand that kernel anti-cheat games will not run)

Thinking about deleting windows in favor of linux because gaming is the only thing that holds me in right now and I hate this

Hello! I wanted to know something that I can't find much of an answer to.

Basically the title, how is gaming on linux with an rx 570? I have this graphics card accompanied by a Ryzen 5 1600af and about 16gb of ram, I would like to know how the performance is in games with this graphics card before choosing which distro to use (I had Bazzite, CachyOs and PIkaOS in mind)

I ask this here because I couldn't find benchmarks on linux with the rx 570 on youtube (Thank you in advance-)

So I play Stellaris with my friends over the network. I'm the only Linux user.

The problem is, when we have our games load, my game takes 3-4 times longer than everybody else. During the game, especially when things get busy toward end game, the game loses sync regularly.

I've gone through the usual troubleshooting - ensuring clean networking (no dropped packets or other problems), plenty of space on my filesystems, nothing is hogging the CPU.

Anybody else have problems running the native Stellaris binaries with Windows peers?

Filesystem is ext4 on an NVMe SSD.

Hi everyone! I just switched to Bazzite on Linux. I'm trying to set up my BG3MM and I've run into an issue with installing, and a lot of the guides I find are a bit tricky to understand.

Can someone possibly help me with setting up BG3MM on Linux? It opens just fine and everything, but the SE isn't staying installed and my mod load order won't stay either. The game seems to launch just fine and mods are installing just fine, but without my load order staying, I can't get into a game. Any help is appreciated!! Thank you

Estou tentando jogar pela Epic Games através do Heroic com GE-Proton 10.28. Já reinstalei o jogo, apaguei os arquivos e tentei a recuperação mas nada do que eu fiz resolveu isto.
