This is a cool project from an online friend of mine which i think could be useful. https://github.com/andrew-ld/lutris-gamepad-ui In the future it will also include a weston-based compositor similiar to gamescope in order to have the fullscreen launcher and all games tightly itegrated.

Someone have some insight on how the heck i can run Mass effect LE, without EA piece of shit launcher? the game run only a first time, u play, everything fine, when i close the game, thats all, i have to reinstall the game to play again, i read other posts saying i need to get Origin app but is not available anymore, someone knows something?

I want to get a capture card for my PC running Fedora 42 (Ryzen 5 5600X, 6700 XT). I think the two better options for me are:

• Avmatrix VC12-4K, which is an internal PCIe capture card, and it seems to have both official (although sketchy) and unofficial linux support. It supports 4K60 for capture and I think 4K60 for passthrough
• Elgato 4K X. An external USB-C capture card, that supports UVC so I guess it should work fine on Linux. This one does 4K144 capture and passthrough

What I like about the Avmatrix is 1) is internal, and 2) official Linux support. The Elgato one seems to be better overall on specs, but I'm afraid the 10 Gbps connection won't work correctly (I've read some comments about being locked at 5 Gbps on Linux)

Anyway, thoughts?

Linux support was just added.

ZukuRace is a mix or arcade-futuristic-looking game and realistic physics sim.

The game is in Early Access, and I’m open to hearing your suggestions for improvements (write in Discord).

I had the same issue on windows for a while, where it would disable the physical outputs and my AMD drivers would time out whenever I used labPBR textures. Now on Linux, it seems the same thing is happening. Same GPU, same symptoms, just with arch linux, mesa, and labwc.

It's a Sapphire RX 7600 if anyone's wondering. I bought a RX 9060 from them recently though (not in yet however) but I feel like I'm not the only one who's had this...

Hi dear community, can someone please help me run Waveshare Pcmonitor on Linux (Arch) to manage my usb Waveshare 2.8inch display.

Waveshare usb display rely on PcMonitor software and a codec pack called K-Lite Codec Pack Decoder. This is the link for the software tools https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/2.1inch-USB-Monitor .

The software works perfectly in Windows11 but I transitioned to Linux (Arch) and I really wish to find a resolution to make it work on my Linux system.

Im new to linux, but I tried to run it through Lutris, I created prefix folder, and I managed to instal the K-Lite Codec Pack into the prefix folder through Lutris. But no matter what, it never launches PcMonitor. Already using Arch almost 3 months and I cant find a resolution on this.

So as a fairly new Linux user, but long time user of mods, I've been struggling with this for a few weeks. I've found modding options on Linux to either be too complicated, unstable, or doing things old school. Today, I've been able to solve this problem and would like to make this guide to help people! Both to support the modding community, and to also get new Linux users more excited to game on Linux by helping them do things that they're used to doing on Windows.

I've tried getting Vortex to load through Steam, but no dice. Ive tried attaching Vortex through Steam Tinker Launcher and had no luck. I've read through posts from everywhere, and tried many things but always was met with failure for one reason or another. Limo is an option I briefly explored, but I got frustrated with it pretty quickly (because I'm a dummy). And the current development progress of the NexusMods Linux app, while exciting, is not a great solution yet. For me personally, Vortex was a breath of fresh air after MO2 and quickly became my personal go-to option for modding.

My current distro of choice is CachyOS but the steps should be similar across them all (except Steam Deck I think). This is not an advanced guide, and there may be a better way of doing things, but I'll figure that out the more I use Linux. In the meantime, any suggestions are appreciate in the comments.

1. Install Heroic Games Launcher (I'll refer to as HGL) for your distro
2. Download a Vortex Mod Manager .exe either from the Git Repo or from Nexus Mods
3. Download .NET Desktop Runtime 6.0.36 .exe from here
4. In HGL > Library > Add Game
5. Give the name of Vortex Mod Manager (or anything you want)
6. At the bottom, click on RUN INSTALLER FIRST then run the Vortex .exe installer we downloaded earlier (I left everything default during installation)
7. Then click on RUN INSTALLER FIRST again and this time select the .Net Desktop Runtime installer we also downloaded and install it as well.
8. Once that is done, we are going to click on Select Executable and navigate to where Vortex.exe was installed (For me this was: /home/{YOUR USERNAME}/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Vortex Mod Manager/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/Black Tree Gaming Ltd/Vortex/) and select the Vortex.exe. If you cant find it, just run a search for Vortex.exe
9. NOTE: You can select a different Wine Prefix if you want and know what you're doing
10. Hit Finish and you're done! Start Vortex and sign into Nexus and do any other configurations you want!

Now that that's done, here's my very roundabout method (and I'm sure someone people will call it dumb) on getting your game to work with Vortex.

1. Add your game to HGL
2. Click down on Show Wine settings button
3. Change WinePrefix path to point to where the prefix is for Vortex. For me this was /home/{YOUR USERNAME}/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Vortex Mod Manager/
4. Start Vortex
5. Manage your game through Vortex (you'll need to browse to where the game is installed)
6. Enjoy!

A final note for the new Linux users: stick with Linux. It can be frustrating sometimes when coming from Windows and needing to relearn how to do things, and there are a lot of people who will just say "RTFM!!!11!1" and tell you to kick rocks, but it gave me back my fire for tech (even though my day job is tech related). It's a breath of fresh air in the world with dumbed down OSes, bloatware, spyware, and AI junk.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater just dropped, and I was curious whether the Steam Deck could handle it.

I ran a raw day-one test on Proton Experimental (no mods, no tweaks), with just the frame counter on.

I tried 4 different profiles, from battery saver to what I think is the real sweet spot.

All in all usable!

Im running steam with proton 9.0, I tried diffrent newer and older versions but it gave a simmilar result. I tried launch options PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1, PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1, -window-mode exclusive. My native screen resolution is 1366x768 and yes I updated my system and my geforce 920m drivers are up to date. I got it to work on "Nvidia on demand" mode but it ran horribly and as soon as I switched to performance mode it gave me this error. The only thing that changed when I was tinkering with it is the resolution mentioned in the error. I even tried to change my display to the resolutions it was trying and failing to switch to but that also failed.

I have recently just installed delta forces, not to play but to get the discord quest done on my linux machine, but there was a problem, it would keep logging me out if I just ran delta forces and like a few other apps like dead cells and went back to delta forces, it would just log me out and when I come back I would get like graphical issues like these:

https://imgur.com/a/motHvT8

https://imgur.com/a/Kr2cU7C

Full sudo dmesg log

And on each time I did this it would get worse and worse, I already did the discord quest so I have just uninstalled it, but the graphical glitches remain and the app even crashes after the glitches, so if you guys know why this happens and also a fix for it, I would appreciate it if you would help me out.

And also the issue where gnome just logs me out sometimes when I'm running a few apps or just randomly while playing a game.

Hello guys,

I have a 2021 Asus G15 GA503. Rtx3070, R9 5900HS, 16GB ram

I heard that the usb c ports are directly wired to the dGPU. So I ordered a usb-c to displayport cable to get some more frames.

What I recently noticed is that performance is way worse. Running the finals on my laptop monitor gets me ~80fps whilst running on my external monitor ~55-60fps. Even running through hdmi was better.

Which is super weird since running the monitor directly off the dGPU is supposed to give you a performance boost.

I tested this in real time by just moving the game window between the monitors. As soon as the game is displayed on the external monitor the FPS tank.

Has anyone else noticed or solved this?

Running CachyOS KDE.

I switched to Linux (Fedora 42) a few weeks ago and I love it so far, it just feels nicer to use compared to Windows. I'm pretty new to using Linux for gaming, I've only used it on laptops for simple tasks and work. However, one of the games I play the most (Overwatch 2) has been having issues where the whole desktop crashes and I have to log back in and reopen everything. I haven't done much extensive testing with other games, but RDR2 seems to run fine. It's been a huge problem since it'll happen in the middle of competitive matches, by the time I rejoin the match some of my other teammates have left and I end up losing or worse, get a suspension for abandoning the match.

I've been thinking maybe my GPU is dying or something, but I really hope that's not the case because I barely got it at the end of last year. What I'm worried about is that maybe it is and if it does crash outside of games, I just haven't experienced it yet.

This morning I tried adjusting my fan curves in the BIOS in case if the GPU is overheating (was running in quiet mode), disabling CSM and enabling 4G Decoding + ReBAR after I forgot to; but I haven't been able to test it yet. I've also read that Overwatch has issues with Proton, apparently ProtonGE works better but I haven't installed it yet.

If I play Genshin on Linux, will my account get banned?
I am fed up with Windows updates — the latest one degrades SSD/HDD performance, and the previous version makes my CPU run 10°C hotter 😭😭

Here's my computer's specs running bazzite atm:

Operating System: Bazzite 42

KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0

Qt Version: 6.9.1

Kernel Version: 6.15.9-106.bazzite.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor

Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.0 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT

Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.

Product Name: MS-7D75

System Version: 1.0

But I kinda just prefer Linux Mint's look and feel of everything when I gave that one a try on an old minicomputer I still have lying around. KDE Plasma doesn't feel quite as polished. And I know bazzite also has a GNOME version, but when I tried out a GNOME version of a different distro a year or two ago, I wasn't really vibing with the customization options.

But then again, I do make use of VRR on bazzite, and from my knowledge, Linux Mint doesn't have that out of the box yet.

I got a wheel (that I might return because of a problem with some buttons and change for a Logitech G29) and it works just as well on linux and windows, or almost, the only difference yet is that specifically forza horizon 5 works with the wheel, even the gearbox does, but not the force feedback, and I have been searching online but I cannot find people talking much about it, only some people saying they got it working so it seems it should work. Did anybody got it it working, and how?

I am on Nobara with hyprland (but I also have KDE installed in case hyprland is a problem, somehow) and the wheel is the Mars Gaming MWH-RSX, and I have used both proton experimental and proton GE 10-13

I'm running hollow knight through Steam on Ubuntu but when launching the game I get "There should be 'HK_Data' folder next to the executable".

Looking at the files there is, HK.exe and HK_Data.

For some reason it isn't detecting the folder. Any idea why?

So I just found out Xbox Remote Play works straight from the browser now and wow… this feels like such a quality of life upgrade. No app, no setup just open a tab and boom, I’m playing my Xbox remotely.

Tried a couple of games and the experience is surprisingly smooth, almost the same as using the app.

Anyone else been using it? Curious how it’s running for you guys.

So my pc ran mhw relatively fine. I caught up to the endgame so I left it and now that ive come back to it I can see that it no longer launches. Ive tried the .dll replacements and the various versions of proton from 10 - 8 and the bleeding edge and GE 9.7, but the game just wont launch. I tried a fresh reinstall too. Looking at proton db It seems like im doing something wrong just not sure what.

I'm pretty new to linux and I'm not the best with terminals and code either. So please explain whatever advice/comments you have like u would to someone who doesnt know much pls. Thanks in advance!

Before I begin, I apologize for any spelling mistakes, as I am a French Canadian.

Hi i need help bc, I just deleted Windows 11 from my gaming PC because I'm really interested in gaming on Linux.

And I'm getting bugs without having installed Nvidia thing, and since then Steam games have been working great except for Sober, which keeps crashing. I've searched everywhere, etc., but nothing works. I even tried the command: flatpak update, and it just displays: Nothing to do.

And here are the screenshots.

Error i got

The command

Please note that I know there are specialized Linux distributions for gaming, such as Bazzite OS, but I prefer to stick with Linux Mint for now.

and note that even before I installed the Nvidia thing, Sober was working but it was lagging a lot.
