What makes a gaming distro a gaming distro?

29 Mar 2025 - 10:51pm

Let me explain. I've heard that Nobara, Endevaur, and Garuda are gaming distros. What do they do differently?

I've been using Arch for a couple of years and haven't had any issues with any games, old or new (I have had to make a few tweaks with Wine and Protontricks, but nothing too complicated). I have an RTX 3050 that hasn't given me any driver issues or anything.

My question is, What do these gaming distros do that I could replicate on Arch that would improve my gaming experience?

Thanks for the comments.

Fallout 4 Glitches

29 Mar 2025 - 9:37pm

I run Linux mint and use a wired Xbox controller when playing Fallout 4. I also use proto proton. For last few days anytime I leave my spawn in point from my last save it freaks out. I used my phone to take a pic. The picture plus flashing and flickering.

My game Snakeloop, a minimalist puzzle game inspired by Snake where you have to eat your own tail, released on Steam with Linux & Steam Deck support.

29 Mar 2025 - 9:09pm

Hey, I just released my minimalist puzzle game Snakeloop and it has native Linux support and is also compatible with Steam Deck (although it hasn't been marked Verified yet by Steam, it was fully tested on my side).

The game is a puzzle game with a simple concept, it's Snake but your goal is to form a loop by eating your own tail. It features 90 levels with a good variety of mechanics & twists as well as modding support for player-made levels.

If that's your kind of game, then you can check out Snakeloop on Steam

Building a **controller friendly** HTPC for media and parsec game streaming - what distro?

29 Mar 2025 - 8:59pm

I have recently retired my trusty old i5-3570 machine from NAS duty and had an idea to convert it into a multifunction media machine for my living room. The system has 16gb of ram and only the integrated gpu, it is quite dated but I will only be streaming games to it, not running them directly on this machine. Ideally I would like it to be a game streamer via parsec and movie/music streamer through plex. I want it too be as controller friendly as possible. I have considered SteamOS but not sure how usable it is in its current state. What other options do I have? Like the post title states I want to put emphasis on console-like experience and ease of use with an xbox one controller.

Rockerbacons MO2 for non-Bethesda games?

29 Mar 2025 - 8:04pm

I want to use Rockerbacons MO2 for Stalker Anomaly but it seems to be very tailored to Bethesda games only.

Will it work for non-Bethesda games too?

How to I give Prism Launcher (flatpak) access to VLC?

29 Mar 2025 - 7:36pm

I have a mod that requires VLC to work (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/watermedia) but since Prism Launcher is a flatpak it doesn't have access to VLC. How do I give it access with Flatseal?

nVibrant - Digital Vibrance for nvidia under Wayland

29 Mar 2025 - 7:31pm

Wanted to give a shoutout to a guy who kicked off an awesome project two weeks ago to enable digital vibrance in Wayland for nvidia gpus, it is working seamlessly in my laptop. I've set it to a value of 256,and works as expected just like on windows! It's fantastic to see such a straightforward yet effective enhancement for Wayland users. Huge props to the developer for this amazing contribution!

Steam games overheating to 212F on Dell XPS 5520

29 Mar 2025 - 7:21pm

I'd like to really get to the bottom of Steam games locking up or nearly locking up on my Dell XPS.

My favorite games are the Loathing games and those have no problem. Every single other game I've tried, including ones I wouldn't think would be that taxing, starts to lock up as the temp goes over 210 F.

The machine has one of those hybrid Intel / Nvidia things (yes I know, didn't want Nvidia).

I run Arch Linux with Sway. Twice I've attempted to make sure it was even using the Nvidia and twice I messed up, had to arch-chroot to get the machine bootable again.

Note that nvidia-settings at least in my setup doesn't seem to provide anything at all useful.

I think i am lost

29 Mar 2025 - 6:39pm

As the title implies, I think I am a bit lost, but I am currently in the information-gathering phase of my PC build. I am looking at pairing a 9800X3D with either a 9070 XT or 7900XTX. My problem is that I don't know which motherboard I should pair it with, and I'm also unsure about which AIO cooler to get. My current setup has an NZXT X73, which doesn't support Linux at all when it comes to curve adjustments and fan speed. I have to boot into Windows just to adjust anything, which is inconvenient. So, my two main concerns now are:

  1. Choosing a motherboard (brand-wise and model-wise).

Now it's between the asrock phantom x870 riptide and asus strix b650e-e

  1. Finding an AIO cooler that works properly with Linux.

What package do I need for xbox controllers to work on arch?

29 Mar 2025 - 6:08pm

Hi, I have 2 different controllers, a Nova Lite Wireless controller (via 2.4ghz and xbox mode) and a Xbox 360 wired controllers. Both of them work perfectly on my fedora machine but not on my arch machine. I have tried everything on Arch wiki.
