Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and I have used ChatGPT for the last week trying to get this fucker of an operating system to make this controller work. It recognizes it in lsusb but nothing happends after. Joystick doesn’t work and neither does jstest or whatever it’s called. Help!

So I have recently installed a version of the Limo Mod manager from Flathub to play a modded version of Fallout New Vegas which I installed from the Epic Games via Heroic with Proton-GE. I also set up the instance complete with staging directory, command, and version (I typed epic as the version). However, when I launched it, nothing seems to happen. Is there any problem with how I handled this?

Hi all, I will try to make this concise. Is there any way with launch options to make a game open up on my primary monitor instead of the secondary one through Steam?

I have to do it this way because the in game options of this game are limited with no monitor selection option, the windowed/fullscreen/borderless fullscreen options all stay full screen, and it always opens on the wrong monitor which can only run 60Hz and is meant for web browsing.

Just tested the ultimate 3-mode on the SteamDeck which perfectly detects the controller in any of the connection modes.

However, while on Windows trigger vibration/rumble works well in racing games when using 2.4Ghz, it does not work on SteamOS 3.7 latest beta.

Seems there was a recent commit to include official driver support in kernel 6.15. Does anybody known if this will include trigger rumble support? Or is this somehow limited by Proton? The main rumble motors are working, the trigger motors are off.

I currently have a Evga GeForce rtx 3070 but feel frustrated that Nvidia doesn't have proper drivers installed on Linux and that there's weird oddities (ex. When on Steam's gaming/big picture mode, when you have the GPU accelerating to reduce menu lag, it makes the left and right sub menus glitchy). I understand that AMD users don't have these issues. At first, I thought that if I want to get an AMD, I'd have to replace my current graphics card. But I remember that I can have 2 on my motherboard.

This makes me wonder: how would it work for a computer? Can I have the AMD one handle most of the Linux OS while I use the Nvidia for other things like games? Could I use both at once for a game (perhaps they could cover each other's weaknesses. Ex. The Nvidia is better at Ray Tracing and dlss while the AMD is better at other aspects) and have the best of both worlds?

Forgive me for being a n00b. I never used 2 graphics cards at once. I'd like to be able to have an AMD to operate Linux (specifically Bazzite as it's like the Steam Deck's desktop mode) whilst still be able to use Nvidia in cast if I need it (plus, I like its flashy look with its led lights).

I've used Linux Mint for a bit over a month now and I love, I love it so much, but there's so much about the nature of Linux that started making me resent it bit by bit.

For once, Steam is glitchy for whatever reason, doesn't open from the panel bar, then you add the piss poor compatibility some "verified/platinum" games have and how many other games are borked.
Lutris never worked for me, neither did Sober(roblox). And I couldn't get a sigle "free" game to work, no matter what I tried.

Outside of gaming, having to manually update programs was a bit annoying. But the thing that is really making me switch is the lack of compatibility for much stuff I need/want.

LibreOffice/WPS fall short of MS Office
Niche programs only for Windows NEVER work on Wine
Audio glitching and crackling happens under high RAM usage
Proper battery life management
and more.

As much as I want to use Linux forever, it's just not for me

Hey there everyone, first off, thank you everyone for any and all help. I am very new to linux and this one issue is preventing me from finishing an install of a mod for a game.

I need to run a file. I double click, and the option for "run in terminal" is missing. I can only open, execute, and cancel the action.

I have already allowed the file to be executable through properties. Thank you again for any help!

I own a 7900 XT GPU, and I play at 4K on an LG UltraGear 4K OLED, which supports both 244Hz at 4K and 480Hz at 1080p. My 7900 XT handles 4K gaming reasonably well, but I wish its performance was better; many newer games struggle without using FSR or XeSS. Therefore, I am considering a new, more powerful GPU. Should I go for a 5090? I know that Nvidia drivers aren't as good on Linux, so will a 5090 perform well on Linux? I really like AMD, but now that they have exited the high-end GPU market, I don't think it's my brand anymore. Sadly, I just want a powerful GPU for 4K gaming.

The game is Monster Monster Asteroid Madness. It was uploaded on sourceforge by missingdialtone, my uncle who has since passed. It DOES have dependencies that are not listed when you cat the readmes.

Additionally, some of the dependencies seem to assume you are on a pentium processor and throw errors when you attempt to configure them.

Whether we band together or not, I'll be hamming at this all night until I can get the game compiled

Back in my Win10 days, I used Radeon RAMdisk to create a virtual drive in RAM. I mainly used it for single player games with loading screens, but it helped speed up any game. I searched Software Manager, but can't find a single app for creating RAM disks. Is it just not a thing on Linux?

I have tested gaming on three versions of Ubuntu. I'd like to daily drive the latest LTS version, but I experienced some issues with it. Here's a table showing the result of my tests:

System Wayland X11 Ubuntu 24.10/25 Works flawlessly Works flawlessly Ubuntu 24.04 Screen tearing, low frame rate Works flawlessly

Note: To test, I updated a clone of my system from 24.04 to 24.10, and the problems that I was facing in gaming under Wayland were magically gone. Some games I tested include Portal 2, Backrooms: Escape Together.

Here's the details of my system:

Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA TU106 [GeForce RTX 2060 Rev. A] vendor: Gigabyte driver: nvidia v: 570.133.07 arch: Turing pcie: speed: 2.5 GT/s lanes: 16 ports: active: none off: HDMI-A-1 empty: DP-1,DP-2,DP-3 bus-ID: 03:00.0 chip-ID: 10de:1f08 Display: wayland server: X.org v: 1.21.1.11 with: Xwayland v: 23.2.6 compositor: gnome-shell v: 46.0 driver: X: loaded: nvidia unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,nouveau,vesa gpu: nvidia,nvidia-nvswitch display-ID: 0 Monitor-1: HDMI-A-1 model: AOC D2369 res: 1920x1080 dpi: 96 diag: 584mm (23") API: EGL v: 1.5 platforms: device: 0 drv: nvidia device: 2 drv: swrast gbm: drv: nvidia surfaceless: drv: nvidia wayland: drv: swrast x11: drv: swrast inactive: device-1 API: OpenGL v: 4.6.0 compat-v: 4.5 vendor: mesa v: 24.2.8-1ubuntu1~24.04.1 glx-v: 1.4 direct-render: yes renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 19.1.1 256 bits) device-ID: ffffffff:ffffffff display-ID: :1.0 API: Vulkan v: 1.3.275 surfaces: xcb,xlib,wayland device: 0 type: discrete-gpu driver: N/A device-ID: 10de:1f08 device: 1 type: cpu driver: N/A device-ID: 10005:0000

Does anyone have any theories as to why updating the system from the latest LTS to the next rolling version magically fix the problems on Wayland, and if it would be possible to replicate this fix on the latest LTS?

One thing I don't like about Proton is I can't just launch a second instance of a game, which I used to be able to do on Windows. Mainly to build subs in Barotrauma while sailing.

Apparantly native games also have an issue with this. Some Linux native games use steam_api.so, and if you try to launch another instance of that game, it'll just tell you that the game is already running. But you can just delete the steam_api.so file and problem solved.

Peak of DRM (pls don't fix)

Can someone who plays this game tell me whats the best proton and launch options for this game? im running on 7900xtx and it seems like the game is compiling shaders live in game even after steam and in game shader compilation is done.

I am trying to run DOOM: The Dark Ages on my custom build PC on Ubuntu, but it does not work.

Specifically, the game starts on Steam, runs through all the names of the developers and their logos, and then when it gets to the 'Press [spacebar] to Start" screen, and I press space, the game does not start. It has not worked before in the past. I am using an AMD Radeon graphics card. I have tried many things already, including

-Verifing game file integrity

-Changing Proton versions

-Updating Ubuntu to 24.04

I basically have no idea about all the nitty-gritty Linux stuff (if you spit a bunch of acronyms at me i will have NO idea what you are talking about) but I am willing to try anything, short of getting a refund because I really wanna play this game it looks so fun
