Im trying to use my 8bitdo controller in steam, i have it in dinput mode and its on the latest firmware, steam detects it correctly as an 8bitdo controller and has the extra buttons, but gyro is not detected

I'm looking to replace my nvidia gpu and i see XFX has a 7900 xt and a 9070 for about the same price, which is right around the most I want to spend. I'm not worried about performance especially since I know they're very similar, so I'm wondering how they compare with drivers/stability

Hi,

can you recommend me some good popular online multiplayer games? I am into FPS genre mainly.

Besides CS2 every other game seems to require kernel anti cheat, so I feel I am out of luck.

I am running Steam OS

I tried to estimate on several machines what quality of footage I can expect from their respective hardware encoders, exposed via (FFmpeg) VAAPI, and I cannot say I'm happy with the results in H.265 and AV1.

Either in CQP or CBR with a decent bitrate, both do not look great.

For information, I tried with an Intel Alder Lake IGP, a 6600XT, and a 7900GRE.

So, for people into recording gaming sessions, what are your settings?

When I download any game on Steam on my Linux machine I feel like it does it slower than on windows. Also when I switch windows speed falls significantly (may drop from 1hr till complete to +8hrs). Is that a real problem or I'm a bit delusional?

Hey everyone! My name is DrinkingPants74, and I've been working on a game for the past while now. It's called Dungeon Dwellers and it's a 2D Open World Dungeon Crawler RPG.

I've been putting out a bunch of updates since the initial release to keep improving the game, and it's actually at a point right now that I'm really happy with. So because of that, I decided to start really promoting it. If you want to check it out, it's out on Steam and it's also on sale this weekend for 75% off ($2.49).

This game is built using the Godot Engine, and it also has NATIVE support for Linux. On top of that, there is 0 / NONE / NO telemetry data and no connections to the internet. It is 100% offline, and will never have microtransactions, or paid DLC. Every update is free once you own the game.

I hope you guys enjoy playing it as much as I've enjoyed making it.

hey! i’m new to Linux and wanted to get bedrock on it so i could play with my brother more often. i downloaded the launcher on this (https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.mrarm.mcpelauncher) link, which seems to be the gold standard, but i keep getting the drowned code and no one on discord was able to help me.

i tried it both on Nobara and Pop!_OS… it doesn’t work on any of them. i already tried changing the timezone and managing permissions through Flatpak, but nothing worked. is there any other way besides that launcher? i literally bought the game on Android just to do that 😭

Hey everyone as the title suggests I need some recommendations or any workarounds to make my laptop work (well) with Linux I installed cachyos and it boots and works but the issue persists with fan control and stuff mine is a Acer Nitro 17 AN17-42 laptop I installed acer-wmi and linuwu sense driver modules but still the support is not that good I fear that without proper fan control the device will degrade or throttle when gaming any recommendations or help is welcome P.S I have used Linux on my previous laptop which was a normal laptop and pretty old without anything fancy like fan control RGB auto profile switch and stuff this new one is working fine in windows as it is and when it comes to Linux there are some stuff that doesn't work well

After some package updates (Kernel and some pipewire stuff, all of which I have undone) no game will open up a window but is shown as running in steam.
Seems to affect both native and windows games.
There are no errors in the Steam log or journalctl...
Rebooted multipled times already.

Anyone ever heard of a problem like this?

Arch KDE Wayland, 7900 XT

Edit: Seems this is a driver issue (even though there were no updates?)
vulkaninfo throws and error message:
[1] 13518 segmentation fault (core dumped) vulkaninfo

Edit 2: It was a problem with lsfg-vk. Uninstalling it solved the problem

I've been a windows user for 15 years but wanna try linux mainly for the performance, a big community, developer team and ease of use/out of box experience would also be good, so far some good distros I've seen are fedora, zorin and Pop os, mint also seems good but I'm not a huge fan of the design

How do I make a Javascript game, basically just a web game, into a tar, Deb, or appimage file? I want it to be able run in its own window. For more information, I'm trying to do this to a game called halved on steam. I have the source code, so how do I make it into an app?

Is it possible to have wine prefix like app isolation on windows in order to avoid storage of config files etc.

Because of how resource efficient it is, some games run better on Linux than on windows even with translation layers and lack of native support.

Hardware: Steamdeck

Hi, so as many, the steam deck was their first experience with linux. I learnt quite a bit of stuff and am considering switching on pc too.

My problem here is though, i downloaded a Html visual novel kinda game, but when i open it, it doesnt show pictures (from the folder). Didnt work with firefox or chrome. I searched online and found one similar question but no answers.

Help is really appreciated!

Setup: Distro=Cachyos Proton version=10.10 App=Bottles Kernel=Latest cachyos kernel (default) GPU=GTX 1650

I'm having extreme stuttering even on low graphics at 30 fps (locked). I get better frametimes when running unlocked fps but then I face overheating and thermal throttling even on 75 degrees.

Any fixes please? I've tried protondb, switching proton versions, kernel switching, setting ryzenadj (temp limit=90 degrees and wattage=25w) and scheduler switching.
