HDR on titles with a launcher on Proton

21. April 2025 - 02:24

How do I run HDR on titles that, from steam, launch a separate launcher/updater, then, from there, launch the game? Like an MMO, specifically Warframe.

I tried using gamescope --force-grab-cursor -f -w 2560 -h 1080 -r 75 --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output --xwayland-count 2 -- env STEAM_MULTIPLE_XWAYLANDS=1 DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command% , all 3 topmost versions of Proton (exp, 9.0-4, hotfix), different commands (I don't remember all of them), and nothing so far worked.

I'm using a relatively fresh install of Bazzite, still figuring out how to translate the workflow I had on Windows on my 2nd day of daily driving a Linux, so I'm mostly a noob, still, so I might be missing something obvious.

If it helps, I'm running Warframe in borderless fullscreen on an ultrawide display that I know has HDR support because I used HDR on Warframe on Windows. I can provide logs if anyone teaches me how to do so, I'm mostly running blindly into things until I learn.

Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 Battery Drain While Plugged and Low Powered GPU

21. April 2025 - 02:15

Hi, I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 14APH8 with RTX3050 and Ryzen 7 7840HS. I got this laptop 6 months ago it worked fine until now. The first issue I noticed was the low powered GPU while gaming. I have nvidia-powerd turned on but while gaming the nvidia GPU is stuck between 30-40 watts although the power limit is set to 58 watts(which is the expected TDP with dynamic boost). The 2nd problem I noticed is battery draining while even plugged. To further investigate the issue I turned off tlp and auto-cpufreq and unplugged the power brick and the power draw was 80 watts. My 140W power brick was not able to provide enough power to stop the drain and use the GPU at full power. While reading some similar issues on internet I saw somebody to mention airplane mode. Then I remembered that airplanes have 75~ watts power limits on their outlets.

I use:

-Arch Linux

-Linux-Zen 6.14.2

-Nvidia-open-dkms 570.133.07

-Proton Experimental, GE-Proton 9.27

-TLP default configuration with disabling the CPU options

-Auto-cpufreq with following options:

[charger] governor = performance turbo = auto platform_profile = performance [battery] governor = schedutil energy_performance_preference = power platform_profile = low-power

Here is the nvtop and btop while gaming:

Did anyone here had this issue before or does anyone knows how to fix this? I am downloading Nobara while writing this post and will create a seperate partition to see if that will solve the problem.

Ps5 controller support in steam

21. April 2025 - 02:08

Here's where I'm at.

A while ago, like maybe within the last year, I couldn't get my ps5 controller to work in Steam with pretty much anything.

I searched and searched and eventually found a solution that not only worked, but also felt ridiculously simple how easy it was.

But I can't remember what it was.

I have 2 pc's now-one where steam works with the ps5 controller and one which doesn't.

Despite mirroring the settings in steam between the two as perfectly as I can think to do, nothing is getting the ps5 controller to work on the second machine.

The one that isn't working senses the controller and everything looks like it should work, but once a game is opened it ceases functionality.

What can I do to try and narrow down what the answer was, short of someone here just knowing it?

Any help is appreciated.

Linux Help

21. April 2025 - 01:27

Hello, I'm building a gaming PC, and I'm thinking about using a Linux system (specifically Zorin OS). I like playing games (from story mode to emulators and online games). I also do video and image editing, and I'm thinking about learning programming in the future, but it's just to see if I'll really like this programming thing. What do you think?

Minecraft running at quadruple resolution -> low fps

21. April 2025 - 01:04

Since i switched to fedora (prev. Zorin Os), and played minecraft i realized my game was rendered at 4 times the resolution ( 1440p screen, ingame res 2880p).

That issue happens no matter the window size nor if in fullscreen or not.

I tried multiple launchers (prism, mojang), the issue persisted.

When changing my monitor res from 1440p to 1080p, same thing occurred -> render in 4k... Also when opening it on my second screen the ossue occurred

Using fedora 41, wayland, gnome, nvidia gpu & pop-shell for window tiling (suspected it of beeing the cause, but also when tiling is disabled, the issue occurs)

Thx in advance for advice! Tell me if u need any more specifications!

Wallpaper Engine support or alternative?

21. April 2025 - 00:58

If there is one, what is the best way to use Wallpaper Engine on Linux? Is it possible without their support? If not, is there any other program that can use and browse Steam Workshop's wallpapers like it?

Linux gaming feels like Poland in 1799.

21. April 2025 - 00:50

All I see is Proton, Wine, DXVK. It's like Linux gaming doesn't exist anymore.

"hdr is working" is not

21. April 2025 - 00:14

i was happy to hear the news " HDR IS A THING NOW ON LINUX!!" I wasted my time reinstalling Linux by erasing Windows, thinking I'd get rid of Windows forever, and it doesn't work. They say it works, but it doesn't work with all conditions: AMD, KDE, the latest updates with Opensuse, but I got scammed.

Even when I turn on the KDE interface, it starts without a taskbar, the display management doesn't know which display is the primary, and HDR/SDR brightness aren't two separate settings. If that's all there is to it, I enable the settings in about:config for Firefox, I quit Firefox, I restart it, and HDR simply doesn't work. Linux really isn't ready for the general public.

i don't even want to bother to waste my internet connection for hdr gaming, i know it won't work as always when you want to do anything with that OS.

Newbie on Arch wants to play WoW

20. April 2025 - 23:30

Hey guys, new to linux and to this community I've had a ton of fun installing and discovering Linux but have run to some problems with WoW so I come to you guys in the hope that you guys might be able to help.

So I installed Battle.net through lutris and then installed WoW and while it launches and I'm able to kind of play, the game after an undertermined ammount of time freezes, sometimes it takes a while sometimes its almost as soon I as login into a character...

I've tried different runners and runner options, different drivers, different in-game settings from the settings that the developers in the tooltip say might cause problems with certain OS/GPU combinations to changing from DX11 to DX12 etc.

The problem persists so maybe somoene here who has similar hardware has gone through this problem or maybe has similar hardware and never went through this problem but has a solution for me.

Here's my Hardware:

Laptop Gigabyte 16" AORUS 16X ASG-53PT
Intel® Core™ i7 14650HX 16-Core
16GB (2x8GB) DDR5-5600 MHz
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GDDR6
SSD 1TB NVMe PCIe Gen4
Screen : 16", 16:10, WQXGA (2560x1600) ( I do usually have a second monitor connected)

Kernel Version:6.14.2-arch1-1 (64-bit)
KDE Plasma Version : 6.3.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0
QT Version : 6.9.0
Graphics Platform : X11

If there's any other info that might be useful to help troubleshoot this, I'll give!
Thanks in advance.

Looking for a distro

20. April 2025 - 22:40

Hey guys, I have an arcade PC with quite old hardware at this point, it's got an i7 6700k and a gtx 970.

I use it mainly for emulation, mainly switch, and some lighter Steam gaming, old Mortal Kombats, some Hades, Vampire Survivors and such.

I'd like to be able to install Emudeck on it and use ES-DE as emulation frontend while keeping Steam for the PC games. Also I have 8 controllers in this build, I don't know if that's an issue for Linux but it certainly is for Windows, I have to set them up pretty much every time I start an emulator.

Windows 10 has started nagging about the upgrade but my hw isn't eligible for W11 so I figured I could take the plunge into Linux gaming.

What distro would you recommend? I was kindof decided on bazzite but the download doesn't let me pick my gpu (16xx and newer for Nvidia).

Running a standalone application through proton seems to have better performance than wine even though my GPU is being used in both cases?

20. April 2025 - 21:37

Basically I'm running a standalone application through proton and wine and getting different experiences. When run through proton the application is smooth, whereas when run through wine the application stutters and lags with my fans ramping up due to the increased CPU usage - as if my GPU is not being used properly.

I've used winetricks to install dxvk and vkd3d, and when run through wine the logs appear to imply that the GPU is being used. What does proton do differently that could be the cause of this? I'm using wine 10.5:

warn: Skipping CPU adapter: llvmpipe (LLVM 19.1.7, 256 bits)

info: D3D9: VK_FORMAT_D24_UNORM_S8_UINT -> VK_FORMAT_D32_SFLOAT_S8_UINT

info: AMD Radeon Graphics (RADV GFX1201):

Any solution for shadow artefacting in the last of us Part 2?

20. April 2025 - 21:22

On Nvidia, all NPCs have pixelated / blurry shadows. This only goes away when you turn off ambient shadows, but it makes the game look worse.

Seems to be a pretty common issue on protondb https://www.protondb.com/app/2531310

Here's what it looks like
