Dual Sense Controller with Linux PC - controller not holding a charge
Hey all I'm not 100% sure where to put this so please remove it if not up to par. I got the PS5 controller about 6 months ago. The controller just suddenly stopped holding a charge. No matter how long or what I do it will not charge. The cables are quality, I've tried multiple USB devices, portable battery banks, 2 different PCs. It just dies about 15 seconds after unplugging.
Most of my use case is a BT controller for steam link on my Apple TV but sometimes I use it wired to my PC. I obviously can't do the former with no battery.
I went with the PS controller since they work on Linux with Sony providing driver support in the kernel. The DS4 worked great but battery life is subpar for when I'm couch gaming.
Anyway I'm trying to "reset" the controller and it won't work. The pinhole in the back did nothing. Every other guide I see relates to owning a PS5 which I don't have. I was wondering if anyone is aware of any tools or aomething I can use to maybe reset the controller and see if it'll start holding a charge. Given the hid sony drivers I'm sure there's some terminal command I can use to find some helpful information to see if maybe this is a hardware issue but I don't know where to start.
If anyone has any info they can help with I would appreciate it. Thank you

Resolvendo Problemas com a Epic Games Store no Linux com Placa de Vídeo Dedicada
Resolvendo Problemas com a Epic Games Store no Linux com Placa de Vídeo Dedicada
Recentemente, enfrentei um problema ao tentar abrir a Epic Games Store no meu laptop com Linux, especificamente na distribuição Bazzite com GNOME. O aplicativo não estava abrindo corretamente; ele apenas carregava e fechava sem aviso. Inicialmente, eu havia direcionado a Epic Games Store para abrir com a placa de vídeo dedicada (NVIDIA RTX 3050), mas isso não funcionou. Após várias tentativas de solução, incluindo a instalação e desinstalação do aplicativo várias vezes, descobri que mudar para a placa de vídeo integrada (Intel UHD Graphics) resolveu o problema.
Aqui estão os passos que segui para solucionar a situação:
- Configurações do NVIDIA Control Panel:
- Acesse o NVIDIA Control Panel e verifique as configurações. Inicialmente, eu havia configurado para usar a GPU dedicada, mas isso estava causando o problema.
- Mudança para a Placa de Vídeo Integrada:
- Após perceber que a GPU dedicada não estava funcionando corretamente com a Epic Games Store, mudei para a placa de vídeo integrada, o que resolveu o problema de carregamento e fechamento do aplicativo.
- Drivers Atualizados:
- Certifique-se de que os drivers da NVIDIA estão atualizados, embora isso não tenha sido o foco da solução neste caso.
- Verificação de Configurações do Lutris:
- No Lutris, verifiquei as configurações do jogo para garantir que ele estava configurado corretamente.
Após seguir esses passos e mudar para a placa de vídeo integrada, consegui fazer a Epic Games Store funcionar corretamente, melhorando a experiência de uso.
Se você está enfrentando um problema semelhante, recomendo tentar mudar para a placa de vídeo integrada. Espero que isso ajude outros usuários a resolverem suas dificuldades com a Epic Games Store no Linux

Switching from Windows to Linux Mint
I'm switching from Windows to Linux, but when going through videos and tutorials, I noticed that I had to wipe my PC completely. I want to keep all of my data and simply transfer it to the new OS without wiping anything except all traces of Windows. How can I go about doing that if I can at all?

Review meat74[.]com (not ad) project. Cs servers
Hi everyone. Today i tried to play on cs 1.6 gaming server by meat74[.]com (this she can be fishing!!!) project and i can say:
Admins don't understand what does it mean "linux". They banned me without reason (of course by reason, but this reason sounds like: " bro, you don't use core.dll, is that because you are f$#king cheater, isn't it? You shouldn't laughing with us. We are really serious project!"
Cs 1.6 officially playable on linux (i can play on servers with vac). This guys think that "if we have our own shit-anticheating-system, nobody can play with chests" but they don't understand that this anti cheat parody bans legitimate gamers...
They think: we are always right, you can always be found fault with

Can't install arch-gaming-meta package from the AUR
I keep getting this message: "could not find all required packages: [names of all of the packages]". I'm new to arch so I don't know exactly what might have happened to the package (I see they didn't get updated in a long time) or if I'm doing something wrong. Is there anyway to bypass this problem, or is it there any alternatives for this?
I'm using arch with cachyos-repos and kernel (cachyos-v3/linux-cachyos 6.15.3-3 stable) for gaming optimization right now, and I know there's the cachyos-gaming-meta package but this just sends me to dependencies hell ("The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies: cachyos-gaming-meta").
Does anyone knows what to do?

Alternative to Bazzite due to 32 bit debacle
What is a good atomic/immutable distro geared towards gaming, that is NOT Fedora based like Nobara and Bazzite?
I've been using popos for years and haven't had issues, but due to the incessant push for Bazzite here, I'm tempted to try it. But due to the 32 bit fedora news I won't touch fedora distros on my gaming PC.

My 12 year old son just switched to Linux
So just today my son came to me asking about getting him Minecraft working. Turns out, yet again, some data corruption and maybe some random viruses on his PC. So I said we needed to wipe it again. We seem to have issues that need a reinstall of windows maybe every 6 months or so, some are his doing and some aren't. I made a comment off the cuff how I should force him to install Arch and then he can figure out how to be his own tech support, real quick.
To my utter astonishment, he said he would try it out if it weren't so hard. Well, me being me, I started a rundown of why I use Arch and how it was my first ever desktop distro and how it for Ed me to either learn how things work or have a broken system. He mentioned how he likes how my computer looks but wouldn't want to be forced into the terminal for just basic updates. I hit back with he could go with Kubuntu or Fedora KDE, they use the same DE I use and that it's the DE that makes the look and feel and not as much the distro.
Before I knew it, we were sitting side by side deciding on a distro that uses KDE for him. Since Kubuntu is still on Plasma 5 I said Fedora may be a good choice, or then even bazzite because it's like having a steam deck on his desk. Well, sure as my name isn't Princess Butt Stallion he picked Bazzite and I let him guide himself through the whole install process.
Two hours later he had not just an installed system but also had all the software he would normally use, 99% of it at least, and was on a discord call to his friends playing games and seemed genuinely excited.
He told me that it was actually fun installing something new and figuring out how it all worked. This is why I Love Linux so much. So yeah, my boy has Bazzite installed on his PC now and I'm just smiling to myself at the idea. Wasn't very long ago he was making fun of me for having to "make hacker code just to use your computer" so this makes me chuckle on the inside.
So yeah, as long as you can play games and use a web browser, you don't need much else.
I just figured I would share. It's not strictly gaming related but it was gaming that made this 12 year old boy finally decide enough is enough and that he had it with Windows. Bazzite was what threw me for a loop but I let him make that decision himself and since gaming was his primary concern, it seemed like that was a good place to start to him.
So yeah, fun times! 👍

New to Linux gaming — looking for suggestions!
Hey folks, been on Linux for 3+ years (Arch btw). Honestly never considered gaming on Linux until about a week ago. Tried some ASCII games like ninvaders, snake and pacman4console but got bored quick.
Any good games you’d recommend to try on my machine? Native, open-source, weird indie stuff, anything that runs clean.

Gigabyte G6 KF Laptop: Persistent Boot Issues with Arch Linux – Seeking Advice
Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a Gigabyte G6 KF laptop (originally with Windows) and installed Arch Linux. The installation went smoothly, but I’m facing recurring boot issues:
First boot after install worked fine. I was able to log in and use the system.
Subsequent boots often get stuck. The system reaches the graphical target (SDDM), but then hangs indefinitely.
System logs show:
ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [_SB.PC00.MHBRI, AE_NOT_FOUND (and similar)
INFO: task (udev-worker): ... blocked for more than 122 seconds (and up to 368 seconds)
Tainted: P DE 6.12.34-1-lts #1
Integrity: Problem loading X.509 certificate -22
SMART disk check passes. No hardware errors detected.
I’ve tried:
Updating system and drivers
Different kernel versions (mainline and LTS)
Checking graphics drivers (NVIDIA)
Checking SDDM and Xorg logs
The system sometimes boots, but often hangs at the graphical interface or during early boot. The issue seems to be related to blocked tasks and ACPI errors, but I’m not sure how to resolve it.
Question: Has anyone else experienced similar issues with Gigabyte laptops and Arch Linux? Are there known workarounds for these ACPI/blocked task errors? Should I try a different distro, or is there a way to make Arch work reliably on this hardware?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Let me know if you want to add more details or logs!
