So i am stoned at the moment, so i may be misreading this. In a video about getting trolled into getting a LG Wing (LMG Clips video) he mentioned that with the Google Pixel and Chrome books are getting traction (and are getting good and are decent spec laptops) google is quietly building an eco system like Apple has. Then there is Steam is loudly going great work with the Steamdeck and Proton being awesome. The year of the linux desktop just might be the Chrome Book.

I know this has been asked before, but I'm not sure I'm looking at the right spot on ProtonDb to find the tweaks, because I don't see any instructions on which tweaks are needed for any of the games, and when I just use proton with steam, the game doesn't even start, it takes an eternity caching vulkan shaders and then...nothing.

Soda 9.0

After setting the appropriate key into the register, I wanted to force native wayland by adding DISPLAY into Compatibility/Environment variables. This seems to be taken into account but launching fails and then I get:

warn: wayland.c:1597: no server-side cursors available, falling back to client-side cursors warn: wayland.c:1608: text input interface not implemented by compositor; IME will be disabled

Has anyone managed to run the wayland driver within bottles?

I made a UI to make it easier to combine application and input audio streams on Linux, which can be used to share application audio through your mic as Discord for Linux doesn't support sharing audio when sharing screens or applications.

I was looking into what games are on Windows and realized that they all take up a ridiculous amount of storage. For example, Fortnite takes about 100GB to install. I then remembered I have a Linux home server, and an interesting idea came to me. Can I install my games on my server and then launch them from there onto my Windows machine? I know of people launching games from an external SSD, but does this work with protocols such as ssh, sftp, etc. on a Linux Ubuntu Server? I am new to all of this, so any input would be appreciated.

So, I added multiple keyboard layout in the mint settings and can change between them without any error. But, when playing games changing the keyboard layout don't work for them, they keep getting input as if you layout was still the default one. I saw the solution for this was changing the layout using the terminal and the setxkbmap command. Doing this changes my layout correctly but makes the layout applet on my panel disappear and changing layout using shortcuts doesn't work anymore. Why does this happen ? Doesn't mint settings do the same as the command ? How can I make so Steam games detect my layout properly without having to use commands every time and break the mint layout settings ?

If you have monitor connected through DVI-D it's better to not upgrade to 565.57.01, because this interface does not work with this driver.

Basically the title. Would love to receive some suggestions on on-screen keyboards for KDE that work when standalone keyboard is plugged in. I use my PC both as a gaming device and a TV of some sort, so having the possibility to access both without plugging-unplugging my keyboard would be fantastic.

The closest that almost worked for me, was xvkbd, but it couldn't be minimized at will hindered its potential, and i decided that it would be alot more efficient, if i ask the Reddit.

Thank you in advance!

I didn't really see any videos on that topic on the internet and the one I saw was 10 years ago.

Saw this come up in memories, written a year before the SteamOS announcement! Hardly a big prophecy (And my timing was off) but still neat to see!

I'm using Manjaro with i3, installed Discord and everything is working correctly however the voice activation only works if the window is active. For example if I open Chrome and click in it then voice activation won't activate, if I focus Discord again it works.

Is there a fix for it?

Hello!

This has probably been asked several times already, but I thought id ask anyways.

I’m planning on fully moving from Windows to Linux, but I’m a heavy gamer. I’m testing on a laptop and I’ve managed to make most of my Steam games work on Linux with Wine (I run Linux Mint, if anyone is curious).

I haven’t tried yet to do anything with Origin, but all I’ve seen is about a platform called Lutris. As I said, I haven’t tested it yet.

What worries me is: I play Sims 2 pirated because I lost my opportunity to get the Deluxe edition for free when they removed the game from the shop.

Could I keep playing Sims 2 on Linux? How could I set up everything to keep playing games in Origin? (I’m willing to change distro if there’s a better option)
