Linux noob and CachyOS. RTX 4080 and LG 5K2K. Trying to get my Dualsense and HDR work together in Elden Ring and MGS Delta is making me go mad.
For Elden Ring to get HDR I have to add
"PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%"
But when you do this, I lose Dualsense even though I get HDR.
In MGS Delta, when I add
"PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%"
and turn on HDR, games goes to full screen as full screen is needed for HDR. But in fullscreen max resolution is 1024x768. I only get the native 5K2K reso in borderless window but it doesn't have HDR.
Dualsense works in MGS Delta since the game supports it native.
Are there any solutions for it? I was told Linux was ready for gaming.

Fullscreen games automatically minimize when tabbing back into them
Any time i try to use fullscreen mode on a game, i cant tab back into it. Borderless and windowed mode doesnt do this, and i cant find anybody having the same problem online. I use linux mint and steam with no forced compatibility tools

Need help downloading prism launcher on HP Chromebook x360
I want to download prism launcher for minecraft mods, but this is my first time doing anything even coding-adjacent. I'm doing everything on Linux and was able to get gear lever working, and an app that says prism launcher downloaded.
I get to this page and click launch, and then sign into my microsoft account. Then it just brings me back to this page.
I've been trying to fix it for hours, and I think the problem is every time I try to type flatpak run org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher into the Linux penguin terminal it responds error: app/org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher/x86_64/master not installed.
I honestly have no clue what I'm doing and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Long Time Linux User, First Time Linux Gamer Looking for Advice
TL;DR for the long post: Long time Linux user for productivity, looking to switch primary gaming PC to Linux with new build. Wants advice, tips and tricks.
Hey all! As stated in the TL;DR, I’m very familiar with Linux for productivity and development. My current workstation is Arch+Hyprland and I run several Debian servers for homeland purposes, in addition to my job being primarily Linux system development. However, I have no experience with using Linux for gaming.
My primary gaming setup is a Windows 11 build with a Ryzen 3700X and 3080 TI connected to a 65” LG CX OLED in my living room. It autologins and boots directly into Steam Big Picture Mode, and all of my gaming is with a Xbox Elite Controller. I have a small wireless keyboard I use for desktop interaction (primarily for settings or Game Pass/Epic Games/Ubisoft store). Later this year I plan on doing a new build to replace it, and due to my last year of having a Steam Deck, want to go with a Linux experience. I really like a console-like experience for my gaming PC, for convenience and ease of use. Tinkering is reserved for my workstation and server; when I’m gaming, I’d like the most seamless experience possible.
Below are some additional notes and thoughts, but I’m primarily looking for any advice/tips/tricks to achieve this. Thanks in advance!
Target resolution is 4k@120hz with HDR. I don’t plan on swapping my GPU anytime soon, but will eventually down the line.
I have experience with Heroic for Epic Games on the Steam Deck.
I’ve been doing research on OSs and currently plan to use CachyOS. I like Arch already.
I’m worried about controller compatibility, but am interested in swapping my main controller to the new Steam Controller 2, whenever that releases.
I understand PC Game Pass doesn’t really exist over on Linux, I’m not interested in cloud streaming. I most likely with have a dual boot setup, so I can boot into Windows whenever I want to do Game Pass, at least until the enshittification there finally hits an unbearable point for me and I cancel it.
Most likely will be running KDE but open to suggestions for other DEs if there’s reason to.
Would like to know options that exist for GPU, CPU, and fan management for Linux (e.g., Ryzen Master for CPUs, etc).

Bad Vulkan perfomance on Polaris AMD Gpu
Is anyone experiencing bad vulkan perfomance on Polaris Gpu (for example RX 570, RX 470 etc.) or older Nvidia GPUs. I have significantly worse perfomance in Vulkan games compared to Windows. Native Vulkan Games or VK3D (DX12 -> Vulkan) are getting 30-60% worse FPS than on Windows. I use RADV with aco on my RX 570 and perfomance in Counter Strike 2 is very bad.
Specs: Ryzen 5 5600X, RX 570 8GB, 32GB ram 3600MT/S MBU - Msi B450 Gaming Plus Max Linux Distro: Fedora 43 Workstation (I tried KDE Plasma and it had the same issue, using X11 on Xfce had the same problem)

Dualsense (aka PS5) controller support on Linux
I have a quick question here, as a newbie when it comes to gaming on Linux:
How good is the support for the Dual Sense controller on Arch Linux? I plan to use it on Steam and would like to know if Bluetooth connection works fine. I'm on kernel 6.12.68-1-MANJARO. Thanks in advance!

Does Steam download each game entirely in each user session?
It tells me it does, but it sounds extremely inefficient. Maybe there's no way to share files between users, I'm not sure how Linux manages users sessions and how closed and segregated they are. (I'm on Bazzite)

PCs Are Not Suitable for Competitive Gaming
This is something I've thought about for decades now, but it's only getting more pertinent. Particularly because now Linux runs almost all Windows games very well, except for those with kernel level rootkits for anti-cheat.
Now first, I only game on PC, and Linux specifically. I don't own any consoles and haven't since I was a kid. But the issue we are running into now, is that a personal computer, is meant to be a general purpose computer. It is meant to belong to the user and be able to do any tasks the user wants, within its hardware capability.
Linux is still operating in this manner. Your computer is yours to use, however you want. Windows however has shifted away from that and is trying to shift more. "Your" computer is meant to just be a portal to subscription services and online accounts. Rootkits can be installed, because it isn't really your computer, it's just a tool you use to permit your access to things other people own.
And yet, I can't deny, that when it comes to competitive gaming, there is actually sense to this method. I don't play competitive games with anti-cheat. But I did when I was younger, and I know how much cheating sucks. So it makes sense to have entirely locked down systems like consoles, to make it difficult for cheaters to ruin the game for everyone.
The problem, is this idea of locking down devices, extending to general purpose computers. The concepts are entirely incompatible. The Microsoft solution, is to take away your freedoms and make the general purpose computer, less general purpose, less under your control. But that is entirely in conflict with everything Linux is about. Yet game companies genuinely do need that level of control, otherwise no one will play their games, as they will be filled with cheaters.
So, personally, I see the future of competitive games, being locked down devices only. Personal Computers, if we are still able to buy them at all in a few years, will have to use Linux, because Windows will only get worse, and single player games will be fine, but online multiplayer will be blocked entirely. And it will just be accepted that if you really want to play against other people, you need to buy a specifically locked down, separate device to do so.

uninstalled the lutris version and installed it through steam using proton experimental. again no voice or soundeffects, but music. tried latest proton GE same problem.
i did scan and repair in battle.net app.
i tested both ways on headphones and speaker
i hope someone know that problem or has any idea how to solve it. i am searching the whole day to fix it an could not find anything yet.

Ubisoft Connect working trough Heroic Games Launcher
Went out of my way to test it out after some time and was pleasantly surprised to see that For Honor works trough ubisoft connect trough HGL.
Steps to recreate:
1. Install the ubisoft connect installer from their website
2. Open it trough HGL and get trough the installer, exit after it launches ubiconnect.
3. Add a new game and set the executable to the ubisoftconnect.exe in your prefix folder.
4. I run it with Proton GE 10-29.
Everything should work as normal from now on, log in, install your games and have fun...

NVIDIA’s prime-run was crappy so i made a drop in replacement for it
Hello gamers, I’ve made a simple script that aims to replace and expand on prime-run for slightly more convinient way of running games without a launcher.
Some may ask why, mostly because I was used to running games on my disk via file manager. Yes, Windows-y thing to do, but I believe I am not alone on that and this aims to be a solution for gaining best performance out of your hardware without relying on the launcher if you don’t like them.
As many people know, prime-run is strictly for offloading rendering to NVIDIA gpus on laptops with integrated and descrete gpus, true. This also supports amd dual gpus and runs gamemode, mangohud, and gamescope if they’re available on your system. Another thing I’ve added is configurarion (on top of the script) for gamescope. Without learning what each parameter does what for gamescope, i’ve made some values so you can just edit and adjust to your needs.
I’m more than happy to hear your feedback on this and how I can improve it further for people that may need this. I’ll make GitHub page more detailed as I improve on it.
All in all, happy gaming! 😁
