Firstly I want to apologise if this is a commonly asked question and I read through the sub rules and the FAQ didn't have anything on my issue so here I am.

I recently had to switch back to Windows 11 cause I had some hardware and apps that run better on Windows (Work related stuff) but one issue I noticed I had was a noticeable frame rate drop.
I was playing Schedule 1 and I got a beefy enough Laptop to play it and it was running great on windows but switching to Linux had me below 30 frames.

Is this common or did I just cock something up I shouldn't have?

Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Hey, As the title suggests I have been trying to get microsofts spider solitaire fully functional under linux. (In my case it's fedora 42) The thing is the game under stock wine (i used the wine hq repo) works absolutely fine but it's UI elements are broken and it's header is missing required game options. https://winaero.com/download-windows-7-games-for-windows-11/ This is where i got it from if you are wondering .

Thanks in advance!

Many games only recognize Xbox or PlayStation controller inputs, making it impossible to play with generic or other brand controllers. On Windows, I used the x360ce program to emulate an Xbox controller and it solved all my problems.

On Linux, I've been using Steam and it works great after mapping all the buttons on my controller to the Steam input. But, if I don't want to depend on Steam for this, is there a program that works similar to x360ce? In old posts I saw people talking about sc-controller (but apparently it was discontinued) and antimicrox (which works well too, but it maps your joystick to keyboard inputs only).

I have tried installing decky loader, but the thing is that I think is not compatible with my distro (void linux) since it use runit and not systemd (it gives me some errors related to systemctl). is there a way to change the theme without using decky loader? I know I can change the box arts. I want to use the hero theme

Been seeing a lot of post's about Battle.net and HoYoLauncher being a pain to install. Well had claude help me make a simple binary in rust https://github.com/SulfurNitride/Simple-Launcher-Installer, which you can run it with the latest wine, as of right now I've tested this with Wine 10.7 it might work on previous version but that's all you need. It tells you how to add it to steam and has fixes for HoYoLauncher like making a simple Linux Root symlink in the C: drive. Let me know if there is any issues.

So i have a laptop with a pretty old Nvidia mx150 and i wanna dual boot Bazzite alongside my main distro for gaming as i like to be organized and i like the idea of having a different OS for gaming but in the install page my GPU isnt listed as it is an MX and the oldes GPUs listed are GTX... Can i still install Bazzite?

Whenever I try to full screen minecraft by going into the video setting and clicking full screen, it just ends up crashing. I am using an Nvidia gpu,java 21 and Arch linux and I dont have this issue with my amd system. Has anyone else had this issue?

Hello, let me run it down. Fadora keep plasma 42, all updated on latest (15/05/2025). The game opens with a error (see image). Only this game. TRIED: proton ge flatpak, experimental, hot fix, 9.0-4 and steam tinker. Also added launch commands for steamdeck and stuff and nothing works. Any ideas. Ps this is the 3rd install of the game so not a file problem. System info: ryzen 7 9800x3d, 32gb ddr5 ram, and 9070 it, m.2 storage

ran steam through terminal and this is what it presents

this is using only LD_PRELOAD=\"\"

this is with no launch options

my launch options are [WINEDLLOVVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" mangohud gamemoderun %command% -high] {WINEDLLOVVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" is for ReShade and is something i've used forever}
it does not work without these launch options; it does not run when using [LD_PRELOAD=""]
it does not run using ProtonGE 9-27 [i am using Proton 10 here which is the same i was using prior]
the game is Dead By Daylight and it has ran perfectly fine until today

other games are booting and running with no issue
