So whenever I tab out of warframe and tab back in the game just doesn't take any input from my keyboard. Everything else works fine but I can't move n stuff. I did see people had the same issue on a post 2 years ago and was wondering if anyone had a fix.

stuff I use

OS: EndeavourOS with wayland

CPU: ryzen 5 5600

GPU: amd rx 5700

Keyboard: E-Yooso Z-88

Originally I was about to install Debian (I will put together the PC and install an OS on it this very day), it's nice and stable "ol' reliable", people recommended the stable version of it, supports my network card, but last minute I got a recommendation to use Bazzite or Nobara, and I got a bit uncertain.

Based on quick internet searches, both originate from Fedora. Nobara is a separate, standalone, non-immutable distro, which if I understand correctly is developed and maintained by a single person, so I believe maybe the other options might be more suitable for me because support is important to me. Bazzite is an image file that runs on the universal blue atomic Fedora desktop (?). Honestly, I don't know what that means. The only thing I've gathered is that it's immutable, and thus more resilient to changes, making it more reliable and secure. I'm not sure what the consequences of using a read-only image file as an OS might be, but the reliability sounds appealing. I don't think I will need to edit the essence of the distro/OS (or whatever it is), so I believe being immutable would be fine. In the worst-case scenario, if I have to occasionally change something fundamental, I can just save my stuff to a temporary external storage and reinstall the whole PC, I'm fine with that. Also I’ve heard that Bazzite is suitable for Steam Decks. I’m not sure if it’s intended for handhelds directly, or if it’s primarily a desktop thing that just happens to run well on handhelds too.

I will use the PC primarily for gaming, mainly on Steam and programs I got from sailing the high seas. As far as I know for Steam both distros are good, but I'm unsure about the latter thing. I don't have this type of experience on linux (and I'm thinking about the possibility of dual booting because of this). I don't know how linux handles programs with unconventional methods, I don't know if even there is a difference between the two distro in this regard. Here I have to rely on you all.

About something else, I plan to make home videogame servers for me and my friends, such as Minecraft and Don't Starve Together. If Bazzite is inadequate for this, I will choose Debian over it. (Also people recommended me that I could/should run the servers containerized. I read a vague comment on the internet that containers are a good/common things on Bazzite. I don't know what is a container exactly or how should I utilise it, but it seems to be an option which flattens the ground between Bazzite and Debian.) Maybe, one more aspect could be the potential power saving optimizations and automation (gameserver automatically starting upon computer start and similar), but I'm not 100% sure if I'm enough advanced for these things.

As a ps question, I don't know if there are things which Bazzite can do while Debian can't do, and vice versa. If there are things which are exclusive to one system or the other, I believe those are the most important things to me. For example, it's not bothersome to me to download programs and drivers after install, so having things preinstalled isn't such a big advantage in my eyes.

My hardware, if it matters: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600x GPU: NVidia GTX 1050 Ti Motherboard: MSI B650 Tomahawk Wifi Network card: RZ616 SSD: Corsair MP600 Pro XT 2 TB RAM: Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 48 GB 7600 MT/s (I won't overclock it to that much, but I'm not sure how can/should I minmax the optimal settings either. I will figure out something I hope)

Thank you for the help! :)

Hello, I am trying to run witcher 3 with fedora 40, but this is what steam returns:

https://preview.redd.it/zkf8kg0fm36d1.png?width=445&format=png&auto=webp&s=384e4475d031c148ccd7b3ed34c7ccf198b371fa

Any of you have already seeing this? Any advice? I already re-downloaded the game twice

System info:

• OS: Fedora 40 regularly updated. X.org with NVIDIA drivers

• Steam installed via dnf

I switched to Mint Cinnamon yesterday and downloaded CS (havent launched it yet) and when i went into display settings and I tried to switch to 1280x960 (4:3) I saw it only had 60Hz as an option , i thought this was a 4:3 issue so I tried other 16:9/16:10 resolutions and its all the same, locked to 60hz on everything except 1080p. Ive never had this problem in the past 5 years ive used windows on this PC. Is there any fix? ; To add, Im using a GTX 1660 with recommended nvidia drivers installed and my monitor is 23” 1920x1080 144Hz

I've been trying to launch the game, but I have this issue where I launch the game, then I get a quick unity crash window, and then it closes. I have some specifications to help narrow down this issue.

What I've tried:

• following this guide to help answer my question
• launching other unity games (Btd6 & Ultrakill work normally)
• using different proton versions (9, experimental, hotfix)
• uninstalling & reinstalling the game with verifying the integrity of files
• disabling/enabling Downpour DLC

My Specs:

• EndeavourOS as the Distro
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
• 4x Intel Core i5-3570k CPU @ 3.40GHZ

Every time i try to open with protonge the game execute and quit without open. I tried all the versions of protonge and normally i just use the native proton versions of steam and experimental to work.

I am using the steam version of Cyberpunk 2077 and want to use the cross save feature to transfer my save from my ps5 to my pc. To my knowledge, the redlauncher does not work in proton (unless it does in certain circumstances, which please let me know if there is) so I launch with --launcher-skip which prevents me from logging into my cdpr account for cross saves and I can play the game just fine. Running without skipping the launcher does not let me log in, hanging on the login screen. Is there any way I can get my save from my ps5 to my pc, with or without redlauncher?

If it's relevant, system information is Distro: arch linux Proton-GE 9-7 Nvidia 550 drivers

I know its a goofy distro, but I was curious if anyone has actually tried to game on it. And if so, what the experience was like

I'm looking for some low specs management games. Example: mindustry, theotown, openTTD. It would be great if I can find those games on steam or flatpak.

Curious if anyone knows what the current state of controllers is in the Linux world? It's something I don't know a hell of a lot about despite having used Linux for 20+ years. I know that the PS5 one has drivers-baked-in but then again lots of stuff is baked into the kernel - not all of it great or good. I'm looking to play FF14 so I'm obviously more interested in what works in that particular game but I won't refuse any general info about compatibility either.

ive seen a lot of post on reddit but all from a couple years ago and none with a solution for the issue.

is there a way to send a rumble command directly to the controller to see if its a steam versus linux issue?

i have a 8BitDo Pro 2, GuliKit KingKong 2 Pro Controller, xbox control doesnt even register via bluetooth

they all work perfect but are missing rumble... its not a deal breaker for linux but its like such a small annoance that im not getting feedback when playing helldrivers 2 and i cant tell im being chased by a charger and how close it is without looking behind me...,

Is there any way i can launch games that are on my windows drive from linux?

Hi guys, i've a PC with 2 SSD. The first one splitted with w11 and Ubuntu, the second one as drive for games from steam, Epic, GOG, etc. If i download a game from steam with windows in the second SSD, can i use it even with the steam in Ubuntu or i have to download it a second time? I mean, the file of the games still the same, but maybe the steam configuration in Windows and Ubuntu Is different.

The installation iso is 8gb. That's a lot for me, becuase my internet is limited, expensive and slow(360kb/s). I'm asking how big are updates, because I want to try this distro because the good opinion it receives because its gaming spices and immutability.

Hello everyone, so I use a Archer T4U Plus (rtl8812au). I have been trying to play Survivalist: The Invisble Strain with my dad. I can play other games but this one just won't load up properly and the one time I was able to load into his game I continuously got out of sync errors (it uses peer to peer) So I know it's a wifi driver issue. I'm curious for anybody who uses this same type of wifi stick (that uses the same chip) what driver you use for gaming. As I do have an issue or 2 with some other games when I try to play (Namely Company of Heroes 2) When I used to use windows, the driver was just fine, without any out of sync issues. However, When I decided to change to Linux, games that used to work perfect on the online (they were are rated between gold and platinum on ProtonDB btw) would start to have issues. Before you ask on the Company of Heroes 2 part. Yes, I did add the multiplayer patch.

This is what loads when I try to join the game.

These are the specifications of the computer.

Edit: ProtonDB gives the game a Platinum rating.

Edit 2: added more context

Does anyone have any idea why steam is doing this?

It's actually starting to drive me up the wall because they also steal focus from whatever I'm doing.

Wherefore art though Wayland support, Gabe?

Especially frustrating is that there's a 12 year old open issue on steam's github asking valve to just use the OS's native notification system.
