Update on the death
Just had the weirdest sound issue on Turbo Overkill
Playing on Linux Mint, Proton Experimental, I played the game like a year ago with no issues. Now when going into Dead Plaza (5th level or so?) the LOUDEST sound just popped out of my headphones, almost ear-hurting, like someone turned up the volume to 500 %. It was a specific sound, and the other sounds in the game looked like normal volume. Changing to proton 9.0 fixed the issue, but damn, does anybody have a clue about wtf that was?

Do mechanical keyboards cause problems on linux??
I am thinking of buying a mechanical keyboard with customized lighting
and i saw that the software used to customize the keybaord is only present on windows
the software sets the lighting effects and other things i was curious if the softwares store the customization i make in the OS or do they store it in the memory of the keyboard

COD infinite warfare: Can't set up keys
Installed Call of duty Infinite Warfare via steam on arch. Game launches fine. But when i try to change my input keys, every input only gets recognized as "numlock". When i reset controlls, it shows the standard WASD-keys. Effectively i can't change the key-setup. Anyone got an idea ?

Sata vs nvme
So I will use the ssd with an external enclosure to store and play my games
I can either buy p3 plus with an enclosure or a bx500 for which I already have an enclosure
Which would be a better choice?bx500 or p3 plus

Has anyone used Port Proton?
Has anyone used Port Proton by linux-gaming? I'm a bit weary of it though it looks promising so I was curious if anyone had used it and if it was safe.

CS2 stuttering after a while in the match
CS2 starts stuttering a while after I have played for a while. It stutters so hard that I can't play anymore. I have to force quit and then start game again. This is especially annoying when I am playing competitive. I risk abandonment and temporary ban.
I am running Manjaro KDE, and always keep it up to date.
Launch options are gamemoderun %command%. I have same experience with or without gamemode and with or without -vulkan as well.
While the stuttering happens, I don't see anything obvious like high cpu usage in system monitor.
Appreciate your help

9070 causing games to not load. SOS.
So I am starting to see a flaw in buying a gpu day one, as a linux user lol. This is the third post I have made regarding issues with this card.
I made a post earlier about Marvel Rivals loading with a "Your system doesn't support DirectX 12" message, and couldn't find a solution other than just waiting.
I decided to test out some other games because I want to compare this card to my old 6600 XT. I have tried The Finals, Baldur's Gate 3, and New World. The Finals will get stuck on a loading screen before completely crashing my pc. Both Baldur's Gate 3 and New World will load a quarter of the way then freeze. I have to manually end task on both to get them to close.
A lot of the solutions that people suggested in my last post included updating Mesa, updating the kernel version, and manually downloading the amdgpu drivers. None of these solutions worked. I even clean installed a new OS with no luck.
Vulkan is working, mesa is up-to-date, kernel is up-to-date, none of the proton layers change anything, launch options do nothing. The only thing that I have not been able to try is installing the linux-firmware.git file that was recommended in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhukXbchZbw&t=154s). I have the tar.gz file on my system and I was able to extract it, but past that I haven't been able to make it far with it. I have never dealt with compiling firmware, so I have been trying to find tutorials or help online, but none of it has been helpful. If this IS what I have to do to get it working, please tell me how to do it or direct me to a source that can tell me how to do.
PC SPECS
OS: Fedora 42
Kernel: 6.14.0-0.rc3.29.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics: Wayland
Mesa: 25.0.0
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X
RAM: 32gb
GPU: XFX RX 9070

Please help: thoughts on new system
Hi,
My current gaming PC (Hades Canyon with 3060ti eGPU) with Win11 (I hate Win11 with a passion now), I pretty much only use Steam and I play Helldivers 2 most of the time (I've been using Linux for home servers for quite a while though).
I'm building a new computer and I installed NixOS 24.11 for the first time today and updated the kernel to 6.13. I haven't installed the GUI as I'm waiting for my new GPU to arrive on Monday, the system is a TRX40D8-2N2T, Threadripper 3960X, 9070 XT and LG OLED TV (I also ordered the Cable Matters 8K DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 Cable).
I don't have super high gaming expectations, I'm not competitive, I would like Helldivers 2 to work well and look great, I don't mind tinkering to get stuff to work.
So I think I want to install:
- hyprland (HDR: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/pull/8715)
- umu-launcher
- proton
- mesa 25 (I can see 25.0.1 in unstable, need to figure out how to add that)
So I would really appreciate some advice, does this setup make sense, what am I missing, anyone running something similar, got any configuration.nix examples?
Thanks!

[GUIDE] Changing the Ryujinx icon
Since people have been asking for this.
flatpak install flathub io.github.ryubing.Ryujinx mkdir -p ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps wget "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Arcitec/319050bf44fa3ba7c0e001f3b3a62eee/raw/7d89c3697962ff854a5a03c722fe3398dafce4d9/ryujinx.svg" -O ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/io.github.ryubing.Ryujinx.svg touch --no-create ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor # GNOME Only: gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t ~/.local/share/icons/hicolorThen wait, it may take a few minutes for the desktop environment to detect the change. Opening GNOME Activities Overview and searching for Ryujinx may speed up its detection of the change. Sometimes it still remains cached, but you can force a binary re-read with this:
xdg-open ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/io.github.ryubing.Ryujinx.svgHappy gaming!

Heroic 2.16 is out. Now Proton is the default, not Wine-8 anymore!
Invisible items when modding Fallout 4?
Recently finally got around to playing Fallout 4. Modding has gone surprisingly smoothly. The only issues is that some mod items are invisible, for some reason. It's only from mods that add additional folders to "Data", but some that do add folders do work.
First, I thought it had to do with case sensitivity, but no renaming I tried worked. I finally installed Mod Organizer 2 and reinstalled all mods, with the same result.
The mods I tried that don't work are Lucy's Vault-Tech Backpack, Display Marker, and Wearable Backpacks.
Repairable Sanctuary also adds folders but seems to work fine.
From what I can tell, no other users on Nexus encountered the same problem, so I suspect it's a Linux issue. Has anyone encountered this problem before?
Or, if not, would anyone be willing to try one of those mods on their Linux system to see if they encounter the same problem? The Vault-Tech Backpack would probably be the easiest. After install, it should spawn in the blue shack outside Vault 111. You could just fast-travel there and see if it spawned. I would be much obliged.

Chiaki no audio
I'm running ubuntu on a laptop with Chiaki. I've setup ps5 remote play and for the most part everything seems to connect. For some reason though I'm getting no audio. Audio output device is currently set to auto, but I've tried setting each channel manually in case auto wasn't working, but still nothing. The audio buffer size option is greyed out. Not much I have access to from what I can tell.
Audio itself outside of Chiaki works works without issue.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How configure ps5 controller to work with Chiaki in Ubuntu
So I've got a PS5 controller detected by Ubuntu via bluetooth or usb. AntiMicroX detects all the keys on the ps5 controller.
I found one article (https://gist.github.com/zerkz/6987e322882851d47b89ecd84dbc5b0f) that mentioned mapping keys to the keyboard, but it didn't seem to mention how that made the controller worked with Chiaki.
So I'm running an laptop with Ubuntu. I've installed Chiaki and setup Remote Play w/ my PS5. Next I'm trying to get my PS5 controller to work with Chiaki. From what I can see Ubuntu has picked up the controller. I'm stuck on getting Chiaki to use the controller.
Advice appreciated.
