Hey Guys!

I started to "publicly show" my game about a month ago and I am very happy to announce that my game Paddle Together crossed 5000 wishlists!

The demo is also out, we launched it this Friday and had very critical issues on the weekend (server was constantly crashing so we changed the whole structure) but now everything is fine and I started get positive reviews! (I still have one "lobby" bug, I've been working on it for like 3-4 hours, pretty close to solve it)

If you want to check the demo out:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3997230/Paddle_Together_Demo/

Gonna wait for your feedbacks!

Thanks,

Hi, I am a new linux user (begin with steam OS on my deck) and now I have my laptop with Rtx 3060 with bazzite. First days was fantastic but now suddendly in random times the screen begin to turn total black, the strange thing about it is that is not the screen itself, because for example if I have chrome opened, the lower bar with bazzite symbol, chrome, volume etc.. began to disappear and reappear every 2 second and then crash. Leaving me on chrome that is still functional but if I close It I have the entire screen black with only the mouse.
any tips?

I am using Debian 12 with i3wm. I installed Steam, ProtonGE, ProtonTricks, ProtonQT-Up through flatpak. And i installed the MangoHUD and Gamescope also from Flatpak but the runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.<MangoHud/gamescope>/x86_64/25.08 version. Now in steam i installed Cube Escape.Paradox to test it out and in the properties general i put the following command

env MANGOHUD_CONFIG="fsr,fps_value,gamemode" gamemoderun gamescope --mangoapp -w 640 -h 380 -W 1920 -H 1080 -F fsr -f %command%

But then the game is not openning. Even removing the part before gamemoderun still facing the same problem. What to do.

I love my Steam Deck but not crazy about Steam OS. Thinking about putting Fedora on it since that's what I use on desktop and I think it would click better with me since it's what I'm comfortable with/learning on. Has anyone had any particular issues with it? In an idea scenario I'd basically run Fedora on all of my devices, but I want to make sure everything works first. I haven't seen any reports of any issues doing it.

Currently bg3 is cheaper on gog but the new port seems worth it paying more so I could get it through steam

I have three a triple monitor setup. My center monitor is 35" 3440x1440 UWHD 100hz and my two side monitors are bog standard LG 24" 1080p 60hz.

Whenever I run any test in Phoronix Test Suite it always ends up split between my left side monitor and my center monitor. I would like it to just test on my center monitor. The one I use for gaming.

How do I make this happen? The most relevant thing I can find about it is this old thread from three years ago suggesting it's a bug in Phoronix that makes it run on the leftmost monitor. Has this bug really not been address in 3 years? Is there some way to make Phoronix Test Suite run the tests on my primary monitor?

Have you been able to get video on Linux? For some reason this card refuses to display on Linux for me. Nothing but flickering and color patches when moving the mouse. No issues on Windows. Aorus B550m Pro-P motherboard had the latest BIOS installed.

Hey Everyone, I am super new to linux and am currently trying to mod Fallout New Vegas to play for my wife. But the problem is that I cannot for the life of me to get dotnet40 or 48 to download which is required for mod organizer 2. It will NOT install through protontricks. I have already reinstalled bazzite and tried again and I cannot for the life of me get protontricks to install any dotnet components so I am resorting to WINE. I downloaded it off Bazaar but I really don't know any of the commands and I am having a really hard time finding anything remotely beginner friendly. I hope to get some help here.

Tried Bazzite, crashed and didn't recognize my GPU. Same with POP OS. But Linux Mint just worked after I installed my drivers it just worked.

I could download all the apps I needed, modded my games, and am fully setup on my desktop environment. Loving it so far and thought I'd share my experience with anyone else swapping from Windows.

Where has this been my entire life? I have been getting good output from my Radeon 6600 on Fedora 42 but then I installed Lact today. Now games that were staggering down to 35 gps are now holding steady on the high fifties/sixty gps and all I did was tell it to use the highest clock speeds. Temps and power are still in good range. Can’t recommend Lact enough!

I can provide any extra information if needed. but basically game works fine until the loading screen, I can access all settings before I start the game and get stuck here. I've also pressed cancel (to run teh wine debugger, like it says) and nothing happens. I am using proton 9.0,

Hello there! I can’t seem to make MangoHUD work with Lutris.

I have an old laptop with MX Linux where I occasionally play old games. I would like to have MangoHUD show me fps and other info, but I can’t seem to make it work. It is installed, I can configure it with Goverlay, I tick off the option to use it in Lutris but nothing, it never shows.

Anybody has any idea on what I’m missing?

so i feel like doing some (gaming) benchmarks from the point of view of system software tweaks. in this part 1 i will explore what could possibly affect the results, so i won't have to compare all combinations in part 2.

power saving vs not: power saving means the default settings in cachyos, not means that i turn off PSS in bios, which should make the cpu never clock down. though in practise some linux side commands still say that some of the cores dip below the base clock briefly. the OS power saving options generally affect similar things, bios is just simpler for me.

x11 xfce vs wayland kde: should be obvious. with xfce i have compositor disabled.

vulkan vs opengl: opengl is not too interesting on its own, but perhaps there are differences with some combinations?

system vs flatpak: it is rumored that flatpak may cause a performance hit due to its sandboxing.

an overview of the tests used: furmark 2 covers ogl vs vk and system vs flatpak scenarios. xonotic (ogl) covers system vs flatpak. rpcs3 covers a cpu heavy scenario, and the configuration used is high compatibility with some key optimizations turned off (this is a heavy but realistic use case, as the usual optimizations sometimes cause severe issues).

furmark results:

furmark PSS on, xfce, ogl, system: 487 (cursor lags) furmark PSS on, xfce, ogl, flatpak: 487 (cursor lags) furmark PSS off, xfce, ogl, system: 487 (cursor lags) furmark PSS off, xfce, ogl, flatpak: 486 (cursor lags) furmark PSS on, kde, ogl, system: 487 furmark PSS on, kde, ogl, flatpak: 487 furmark PSS off, kde, ogl, system: 486 furmark PSS off, kde, ogl, flatpak: 486 furmark PSS on, xfce, vk, system: 533 (cursor lags, severe stutter during first seconds) furmark PSS on, xfce, vk, flatpak: 533 (cursor lags, severe stutter during first seconds) furmark PSS off, xfce, vk, system: 533 (cursor lags, severe stutter during first seconds) furmark PSS off, xfce, vk, flatpak: 533 (cursor lags, severe stutter during first seconds) furmark PSS on, kde, vk, system: 533 (frametime reading stutter?) furmark PSS on, kde, vk, flatpak: 532 (frametime reading stutter?) furmark PSS off, kde, vk, system: 529 furmark PSS off, kde, vk, flatpak: 532 (frametime reading stutter?)

xonotic results:

xonotic PSS on, xfce, sdl, system: 463 xonotic PSS on, xfce, flatpak: 463 xonotic PSS on, kde, sdl, system: 463 xonotic PSS on, kde, flatpak: 462 xonotic PSS off, xfce, sdl, system: 463 xonotic PSS off, xfce, flatpak: 463 xonotic PSS off, kde, sdl, system: 463 xonotic PSS off, kde, flatpak: 462

rpcs3 results:

rpcs3 PSS on, xfce: 21,3 rpcs3 PSS on, kde: 21,3 rpcs3 PSS off, xfce: 21,2 rpcs3 PSS off, kde: 21,3

conclusions:

-x11 xfce has cursor lag in furmark while wayland kde does not

-vulkan tends to have stuttering in furmark, and it behaves differently between x11 xfce and wayland kde

-constant cpu speed removed the furmark vk stutter in wayland kde non-flatpak specifically (?), but slightly less work got done overall (retested this once with the same result)

-no real differences between system and flatpak performance

-no real differences in performance between x11 xfce and wayland kde with opengl

details:

furmark 2.9.0.0 1080p fullscreen benchmark, no osi use score from output. --- xonotic 0.8.6-2 config: unlimited fps, show fps, default settings otherwise repro: -run game (sdl variant as glx caps to 60) -shift+esc to open console -write "map boil" -do it again until you spawn in the same spawn point -press esc twice after map loaded -wait a bit and read the ingame fps counter --- rpcs3 0.0.37-18158 config: -PPU decoder interpreter (static) -SPU decoder interpreter (static) -accurate xfloat -write color buffers on -vsync on game: atelier ayesha repro: -load game -alt+enter to full screen -select new game -in the intro, the game will wait forever for dialog continue keypress, so i record with mangohud (Lshift+F2) for 30 seconds in the scene where the old guy says "Hmph", after the speech playback ends -(don't use mangohud hud or quitting will segfault) -result is 1% min from summary.csv --- system software 6.16.8-2-cachyos kernel xfce 4.20 (x11) KDE 6.4.5 (wayland) linux-firmware-amdgpu 20250917-1 mesa 25.2.3-3 (znver4) vulkan instance version 1.4.321 mangohud 0.8.1-1.1 (znver4) flatpak 1.16.1-1.1 (znver4) flatpak mesa 25.2.2 --- hardware CPU: 7800X3D (boost off, so constant ~4200 MHz max) GPU: 7800X3D igpu RAM: 2x16GB 4800 JEDEC (aka expo off) monitor: 1080p submitted by /u/Niwrats

I switched to Linux a month ago. It's going great for now, I set up VScodium, heroic games launcher and few other things. Now I wanna play bloodborne on my pc using the shadps4 emulator but I'm broke af. Is there a way I can't do it without actually buying the game?

I checked a few videos, forums, threads but everything is mixed up and clumsy af. So does anybody have a concrete method to do it?
