Hello, I run a laptop with Fedora 42 KDE (so wayland) with nvidia gpu. I use this laptop with m&k and an external monitor as a desktop mode. The things is, after I installed Fedora and the nvidia drivers, my external monitor wouldn't do 1080p 144Hz anymore and the fix was to move to 120Hz, not much of an issue. But from what I see, games that did not have a refresh rate settings or games that can't run via steam -windowed -noborder, would just get capped at 60Hz (I saw that by enabling vsync and getting only 60fps). What's even weirder is that if I change to 100Hz now the game stays at 100Hz when i enable vsync. How and why is this happening? Is there anything I could do? gamescope straight up crashes everytime, I reinstalled it, downgraded it, it won't run even with glxgears in terminal. I run only on my gpu, I have nvidia-drm smth set to 1 and I tried with the drivers both open and closed and that changes nothing. Also, my laptop display has no issues at all. The same setup on windows had no issues at all. Running on HDMI (sadly, but that's what the laptop has). Thanks for any help!

So I got the game on steam and downloaded the 120 gb game. But when I launched the game to play, the launcher started up and started downloading 100gb of content again. But I'm positive the game was only 120 gb when I downloaded it on windows last time a few years ago. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi. I would like to install Skyve Mod for Cities Skylines 2. And it requires dotnet 48. I've triedprotontricks -> installing additional dlls -> dotnet 48, but then I've got many errors, including:

Because when i run

protontricks -c 'wine "C:\\Skyve\\Skyve.exe"' 949230 /usr/lib/python3.13/site-

then:

And chatgpt says that it is because dotned 48 is required.

Trying to make Renodx addon for Reshade work on my gaming PC with Bazzite. Installed Reshade with addon support using reshade-steam-proton script for multiple games. Encountering weird artifacts: green, blue and red dots in some areas of the screen (not visible on screenshots, linking photo of my screen). My GPU is Radeon RX 9070 XT.

Works fine on my Steam Deck OLED and its internal display though.

Any idea how to fix this?

Helloooo! I'm going to be one of many who's gonna say that I'm trying out jumping ship from Windows to Linux. I'm not too green on Linux as I've used it for work but I've never really went using it as my gaming PC. I love what's been happening with the Steam Deck so decided to try it on my PC!

I'm running CachyOS as a distro and my hardware is a Ryzen 5800X with an RX6800. And I'm just enjoying trying to see what works and what doesn't. Noticing how frame gen is still, or it seems fresh on Linux.

Soo what I'm trying cause a friend wants me to try it is Throne and Liberty and that game has AMD frame gen. I noticed that on frame gen, cutscenes go crazy. Is this something that happens on other games, or is it just a Throne and Liberty thing? I tried different proton versions, and even tried Xwayland vs native Wayland. Would it be like even a DXVK thing?

Sorry for the questions! Just learning what makes what tick and where you would raise these issues. Cheers!

I'm running into a bit of a problem, i use CachyOS with GNOME as my DE and the no game icon problem really bothered me, so i went for a fix and got it working perfectly on my steam library, however i still needed to do the same for Heroic, with some tweaking thinga seemed work, but that's when i had another issue. See, proton tries to assign a gameID even when you're not running a Steam title and when it doesn't find one, it will assign a zero to it ( e.g. steam_app_0 ) , because of that, trying to change the icon will have an effect in every title that uses Proton ans isn't a official Steam game ( Like games from Epic Store or GOG ) , besides that they work just fine. With this out of the way i wanted to ask if someone knows how to change the appID or even how to make so that Proton doesn't try to assign it

Hey everyone!

I have recently installed kubuntu as dualboot and I've been trying to find out if I can switch over entirely. One problem that I run into is that piper or solaar can not identify my mouse. I am using a Logitech G502x wireless and a G815 wired keyboard.

temping@beastie:~$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0b05:1872 ASUSTek Computer, Inc.

Bluetooth Radio Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c33f Logitech, Inc.

USB Receiver Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub temping@beastie:~$ ratbagctl list warbling-mara: Logitech G815 RGB MECHANICAL GAMING KEYBOARD

As you can see, the keyboard gets identified very easily, but the mouse only shows up as USB Receiver. When I connect the mouse via usb everything works fine! But then what's the point of using a wireless mouse then!

I have tried piper, solaar, and logid and all of them have the same issue. Please help me with an alternative so that I can change my mouse's settings while it is also untethered

we slightly push game devs to support linux as it is already gaining popularity with the steam deck bazzite etc its the perfect time to try to get game developers to support Linux natively who is with me? #LinuxGamingCompatibility post this anywhere you can we can get more native games let's do this

i was trying to uninstall some stuff to install cyberpunk and i quickly noticed that my free space wasn't increasing and i noticed soon after that, that my "non-steam" bar in steam storage settings was going up every time i uninstalled a game.

i have windows dual booted and i know for a fact in the first place at least my non steam was the partition i made for extra windows space, and now it's doing this. i have no clue what to do outside of checking windows to see where my stuff is going.

I am running Halo Infinite using GE-Proton10-3.
Also tried Proton9-4, Hotfix, Experimental, GE-Proton9-27, GE-Proton9-4.

And these are the launch commands:

gamemoderun VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_USE_EAC_LINUX=1 %command%

Multiplayer I am getting similar performance as I expect from Windows. However campaign the game only has half the performance I expected. Places where I am supposed to get 80-90fps I am getting only 55fps.
Also tried disabling resizable-BAR no luck.

I've gone through this sub-reddit with previous posts with issues with Halo Infinite.
I am curious if any new updates or solutions are there?

Specs:
Arch Linux 6.14.10 with KDE Plasma 6.3.5
Ryzen 7 5800x
32GB DDR4-3200
RTX3060 12G
MSI B550 Motherboard
Also the Game is running on NVMe SSD

Been using Bazzite for a few days now, I'm absolutely in love with KDEconnect. It's worked so much better than Windows Phone Link, and being able to control media from my smartwatch is just the cherry on top. Now to figure out how to connect my PC to my laptop with Gsconnect...

Im having a hard time figuring out how to allocate more of my ram as vram for my igpu. My current system has: 5500U with vega igpu, 20gb ram. I was hoping to get more than the default 512mb of vram, so if anyone knows how to increase that, it would be great :)
