I’ve heard some people love the sunshine/moonlight experience for streaming games to the deck but I had some troubles getting this to work in a nice way - presumably because I’m running Ubuntu.

I wanted the stream to be in the deck’s resolution and so I attempted a virtual monitor (xephyr) launched by a sunshine app.

I got something working after some iterations of vibe-coding but havn’t been able to replicate my success with BG3 for example. Has anyone else had more success with this?

So I have bazzite setup, works great. Looking to setup Minecraft Bedrock for my child. This child account is family linked. I bought minecraft for android on their phone, setup to the point where we can play. I'm using the minecraft launcher on bazzite. Tried to log in with my child account, spits back "there is something wrong, restart." put in the wrong password and came back with wrong password so i know it's processing the login. Tried the manual method, copied the link (looks like trying to log in to accounts dot google dot com slash android (something like that), opened firefox, tried to log in, same error. This is where I think it's google specific..to verify, I downloaded chrome and logged into the browser as my child, no issues. used the same browser to log in with the link from the launcher, and same restart error. Is it fair to say family link has something to do with this, and if so, has anybody else ran into this issue and know how to work around it?

Hello all,

I installed a game from GoG, and ran the setup.exe with Bottles no problem, the game launched.

But now I have the game bottle set to run the installer, not the actual game. I want to change that by pointing to the right executable, but I have no idea where to find it.

I looked around and for a flatpak, which is what I have, the folder is in "~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles...." and yes, I see the game files in there. For the Windows side of things, the game is installed in Z:/Games. I can also see it in the legacy Exlorer. But on the Linux side of thing, when I search for it, I can find Z but the Z there is different than the Z I see in Explorer, and there is no "Games" folder, hidden or otherwise... so where do I find the launcher so I can launch it again in Bottles?

I recently bought minecraft (I'm late lol) and I wanna try badlion. So I installed it logged in but it gives me the No logs found, I can't make logs since I can't launch the game. What do I do:<

If Gabe Newell steps away or passes on, what is Valve’s long-term commitment to Proton and Linux gaming—will Valve themselves guarantee continued support .

According to protondb it's currently supported. I'm hesitant to drop the cash given what usually happens for online games though.

Hi everyone!

I’m using Garuda Linux Dr460nized Gaming Edition on my laptop Asus ROG Strix G15 G512LV-AL007, and overall I’m really happy: everything runs incredibly well, games are fast, temperatures stay low, and the system is very responsive.

However, I’ve run into a couple of issues I haven’t been able to fix:

1. Speakers

Nothing comes out of the laptop’s built-in speakers, even though Linux seems to detect them.

This has happened not only on Garuda, but also on other distros I tried (Bazzite and Nobara).

On Windows, the speakers work perfectly.

Headphones work fine.

1. Controller (Rog Raikiri Pro and PDP wired, haven’t tried official Xbox controller yet)

The issue occurs with both wired and Bluetooth connections.

Steam detects the controller perfectly, and Steam Input works, but when running games with Proton (I tested The Witcher 3 and Metal Gear Solid Delta), if I switch windows and then return to the game, the controller stops working in-game.

This is not a Steam or system-wide issue; the game just stops recognizing the controller after switching windows.

Has anyone experienced similar issues on Garuda or other Arch- or Fedora-based distros? Any ideas on how to get the speakers working properly and make games reconnect the controller after switching windows?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi everyone not sure how well this will show on video but I’m testing out Linux gaming as I won’t be upgrading to windows 11 after windows 10 becomes eol and everything going smoothly so far but I noticed with some games they will refuse to boot unless I change the runtime to proton. But whenever I get the game to boot it does a lot of flickering whenever I make any movements with the mouse or something comes up on screen. While it’s not a major problem it’s definitely becoming a pain. Has anyone encountered this before?

So i have a msi laptop. I want to control it's fans. I am new to this and i tried to download Mcontrol center. But i couldn't because msi-ec didn't download no matter what i tried. Then i saw LACT and tried downloading that. It did download but it's only reading my weak AMD gpu and not my actual RTX 4060 gpu. I downloaded Cuda libraries and nvidia drivers. I don't know what is the issue. Do you have any other software i can try? Or any mistake that i could have made along the way?

Hi Linux gamers !!, i presents my almost solo development game on Qt.

This is my 10 development log, and I finish integrating Qt quick physics, particle system, rigging and morphing features into open world (it is not so easy in Qt).

i will hope of you feed back)

Showing my triple setup for Linux Gaming:

1. SteamDeck with SteamOS - gaming on the go (mostly on the sofa in the living room).
2. Main PC with Fedora & W11 - main gaming done here with dual boot.
3. Lenovo Thinkpad using Fedora - software development with Node & VSCode with light gaming like Age of Empires 2.

I only recently moved my main PC over to Fedora when I got a second SSD so I could dual boot and been loving it with my 5800x3D and 9070XT. Although I'll keep my W11 for online games like when BF6 comes out, I've been loving how easy it is to play all my over games with just Steam. Although I did install ProtonGE for one or two games which use prerendered cutscenes without having to download shaders. I also get to keep SecureBoot enabled for both!

I have a problem with steam. I installed RDR2 on my laptop the other day and it worked flawlessly, but then i moved it to an external ssd, and it didnt want to launch, the filesystem on the ssd is exfat because ext4 wont be detected by steam.

Someone please help me :(

Edit: i should probably say that i got this error when running steam in the terminal: ProtonFixes[5151] WARN: [CONFIG]: Parent directory "/home/mark/.config/protonfixes" does not exist. Abort.

ProtonFixes[5151] WARN: Skipping fix execution. We are probably running an unit test.

And that im using arch linux

I recently bought a fake Switch Pro Controller from Amazon. It connects to my CachyOS system via Bluetooth (as you can see in the bluetoothctl output below, it even shows up as Pro Controller), but it isn’t recognized by Steam or Yuzu — no inputs are detected at all. Has anyone managed to get one of these knockoff controllers working on Linux?
