Radmin compatible VPN apps

12 Jul 2025 - 7:41pm

My friends are using Radmin VPN for their Minecraft server.

Then, I just have a piece of Raspberry Pi 5. I want to transfer the main server from my pc to the Pi. So that the server can have more online time to play.

But we are using Radmin, I don't want to change a VPN app for convenience.

As I know, there is no Linux version of Radmin.

Is there any vpn is compatible with Radmin? Or do I need to change a vpn?

Can someone help me understand why my graphic card works worse after I've come out of suspend?

12 Jul 2025 - 7:07pm

I'm using Arch Linux and sway wm. I have an AMD GPU and CPU.

I've noticed recently that when I come out of suspend and boot up my game (Cyberpunk 2077), the game is laggy.

Downgrading the video settings helps, but the way I've found to resolve the issue is the following: switch to a workspace with Firefox, on the same monitor, then switch back to the game. Then the game runs smoothly again. This works consistently for me.

Knowing that the issue is fixed by having the monitor display another app, what could be happening here? How could I make sure it doesn't happen anymore?

I know that suspend is buggy, so I might simply stop using it, but I'd still like to see if there's any ideas.

Any tips for CS2 stretched ?

12 Jul 2025 - 6:54pm

I’m on cachyos and I’m trying to play CS2 in 4:3 stretched just like I do in Windows.

If I launch the game without gamescope in the launch options, it’s loading to the side of my monitor with double black bars on the right. If I launch it with gamescope my mouse is inverted both vertically and horizontally and locked into a small box.

What would be the best place to start troubleshooting ?

I Created a Wiki-Style Resource for GPU-Passthrough

12 Jul 2025 - 6:29pm

Hello everyone! I wanted to share something I created

a website designed in a wiki style to help people troubleshoot and resolve GPU passthrough issues. I hope it can be useful for those facing challenges with their passthrough setup.

It's been a while since I worked on this, and I'm excited to share it with you! I used Docusaurus to create it.

Website: https://gpu.passthru.info

Thanks!

Does anybody have an current up-to-date custom-proton-dualsense verison?

12 Jul 2025 - 6:09pm

Hi guys,
Recently, I started playing The Last of Us Part 1. Apart from an outdated driver warning everything worked. But while configuring the settings, I noticed that vibrations are turned off because the DualSense sound system is deactivated. So I looked around and found this archived GitHub repository, which provided a custom Proton version with some patches applied.
I downloaded it and I have to say, the vibrations are AMAZING. From the voice to the adaptive triggers, it feels like the controller was made for this game.
Anyway, I've played around 2 hours, and I've noticed some strange texture issues. They just don't get loaded in for a very long time. I looked around some more, and apparently, there's a setting to fix that. But my setting is greyed out.
I researched again and found out, like the warning said, my driver was/were too old because of the old proton version and because of that, these settings couldn't be applied.
I returned to the repository to follow the instructions on how to build it myself for a newer Proton version.
I started the make install but got greeted by an error 2 from line 1231 in makefile.in and line 133 in makefile. I've now tried over the last few hours to fix that. With reinstalling Docker, using Podman, fixing a vkd3d issue. But to no avail. Maybe that's because I'm (using Arch, btw.) without systemd, so kind off purposely handicapping yourself ;)
Now I know this is a relatively niche issue, but maybe someone who is A) probably more competent and patient than me in compiling the Proton version and/or B) doesn't have a fucked-up system :) has a newer version (not the 8.4 version on the repository) of said patches.

Annoying issue on helldivers 2

12 Jul 2025 - 6:09pm

Hello all, I've recently switched to linux. I have a small problem where I can't switch to my support weapon. I have run at hold and for some reason shift + 3 doesnt register 3 as in game but 1 and 2 works. How can I solve this besides using a different key than 3 for support weapons? I couldn't find any shortcuts that use shift + 3 either. I'm on kde plasma and using cachyos if it matters

Discord PiP in a fullscreen game or fullscreen window

12 Jul 2025 - 5:37pm

First of all, sorry for my poor English. Let me explain my problem better: I often play the same game with a friend and I put his Discord stream on top of the game. On Windows I could easily pin the Discord window on screen, but on Bazzite/Linux KDE I don't know how to do it...Maybe the solution is very simple, but I'm a noob on Linux so I don't know how to do it. I've searched online and even asked on chatgbt, but I don't quite understand the steps. I tried to set it to "always on top", but as soon as I go to fullscreen or maximum window, it loses "priority" and goes to the bottom. I got tired of playing in the window 😔 If you have a tutorial, I'd be happy. Thanks in advance for your patience.

State of Ray Tracing in Linux?

12 Jul 2025 - 5:30pm

I know someone asked this about a month ago, but any drivers or tweaks that have come out to have ray tracing work better without losing so much performance compared to Windows? I use an RX 7900 XT with the RADV driver.

Limbo will be delisted from GOG on 17th Jul 2025, Steam release is likely to follow suit

12 Jul 2025 - 5:01pm

Limbo is a great noir puzzle platformer. It has a decent but hidden native Linux version on Steam. Legal dispute between the founders of the studio seems to be causing delisting of Limbo and Inside.

Streaming with External Capture Cards on Linux?

12 Jul 2025 - 4:48pm

I'm getting fed up with Windows, and I'm ready to take the plunge into Linux. I'm looking into Bazzite. Most of the software development work I do is in Notepad++, so I don't see productivity being an issue for me. Everything else I do is through browser tools or have floss alternatives.

I stream console gaming using OBS, and a Blackmagic Internal Capture card. But I'm about to replace it with a Mackie Mainstream, since it handles mixing. video capture and HDMI audio extraction all in one. It's an external unit through, instead of a discreet internal capture card.

I know OBS works in Linux. But what about capture cards? Does anyone have experience with the Mackie Mainstream?

New NVMe, should I try something besides Nobara

12 Jul 2025 - 4:16pm

Posting in this sub due to the fact that my prebuilt has an Nvidia GPU, so looking at distros that include the drivers as part of the install.

I’ve been using Fedora and Nobara for a few years now, and have one or the other on all my personal computers. Just picked up a new 2tb during prime days, and wanting to maybe try something new. I’m not much of a pc gamer, although there are a handful I’ll play on occasion, and they all work on Linux (thank you GE!). I’m aware of Bazzite being a fork of Fedora Atomic/silverblue, but haven’t dipped my toes in immutable OS’s yet. I’ve dabbled with Arch and Cachy a bit, and have gone through the Debian days with Mint and Pop!. Is there maybe one I should try/consider?

Besides the few games I do play, work with CAD software and light coding, so fairly basic PC usage, and more partial to GNOME, although DE makes little difference at all.

12 Jul 2025 - 4:02pm

discord quality extremely lowm with wayland, any fixes?

12 Jul 2025 - 4:00pm

Hey so i have a 55 inch tv for my bedroom which i among others also use as a discord monitor.

however when used for discord on fedora kde (with wayland) it runs at half the total resolution leading to it looking like shit. Thats due to the display having a 200% scaling, which is necessary for other applications.

CS2 fps drops on fedora 42 KDE

12 Jul 2025 - 3:10pm

Hello, I have my fps capped at 200fps, my computer caps it out without issues for the most parts but sometimes it drops to 90 fps, and it's that 90 fps that feels more like 20 fps (maybe because of screen tearing), and then it comes back to 200fps, it's not a question of team fights or explosions happening, it just drops for no reason. does this happen to anyone else.
