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.

On the website it says that they have a native Linux launcher that I downloaded but it just says its an exe, how is this native??

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!

Installed Steam and when opening it gives this error

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)

Do we only need --hdr-enabled to enable HDR for gamescope in Plasma 6.2?

Title; however just asking a question: any technical reason that this would NOT be doable on Linux?

I'm on a ryzen 2700x, 1660 super, 32 GB ram playing at 1080p. Performance is astonishingly bad (20 fps with frequent frame drop) at lowest settings with full GPU and GPU mem use, frequently maxing out single CPU cores. I understand my computer to be above the minimum system requirements. Is this kind of thing typical even on windows or is something wrong with my config?

I'm using ubuntu and 6860Z processor (680m igpu). When i run valley benchmark (everything at max just to stress), my radeontop always showing clock at 60% top never 100%. I disable tlp but it still stuck around 50-60%. Any idea why?

Using mission control i can see the power usage hovering around 13-16 watt.

Heyo, fighter enthusiast here. Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with getting their Snackbox Micro working with Linux? Recently switched to Arch Linux as a daily driver, and I have a Snackbox Micro. I haven't had the chance to try it with Linux yet (and I can't for a few more days), and after looking online, I haven't really found a conclusive answer. Any help or insights are greatly appreciated! :D

Hi there,

combo question for you.. or rather just 2 questions :D

*Is there a way to close lutris games with alt+f4? Sometimes a game is unresponsive, breaks or whatnot and alt+f4 does basically nothing to the lutris games overall (even when they just work). Going alt+tab I can see the desktop for a sec but it jumps back to the game again no matter if its in borderless window or fullscreen exclusive mode so thats also not helpful.

*basically how to make resource manager (ctrl+esc) stay over the other windows? It was my second thought to use it just like task manager on windows and to kill the game this way but the manager stay under the game even if I force it to stay over other windows in plasma.. it works for everything except for the very thing I wanted to use it for lol (kill hung up lutris games).

i run opensuse tumbleweed, kde plasma wayland
