GTA 5 Legacy on Ubuntu with 4GB vram | How well it works?
So 4GB is enough for this title and it also perform well and don't worry about the temps cause this laptop has been used for mining crypto, So basically when i bought this it started throttling and i tried every thing like repasting, changing to a new more powered cooling pad but nothing worked and yeah windows 11 does not do any thing if your laptop is thermal throttling so i switch to linux and everything started to work now i was even able to play RDR 2 and yeah it was an upgrade for me because even without throttling i wasn't able to play rdr2 on windows so Thanks Linux XD!

Gamescope affecting games' colors
Im trying to use gamescope in Another Crab's Treasure to prevent my mouse from going to my second monitor while im playing, but it seems to have shifted the color of the game. I am using the launch settings "gamescope -W 2560 -H 1600 -r 240 --force-grab-cursor --backend sdl -- %command%." The game does not start with the gamescope launch setting without --backend sdl but I think that may be what is causing the issue. It also shifts colors in other games, it is not exclusive to this game. Any alternatives I can use to prevent my mouse from leaving the screen without having to unplug my second monitor while I play, other launch settings I could use so the game starts without --backend sdl, or anything else?

I was finally chosen!
I haven't booted into Windows since I started using bazzite 2 months ago. I can't recommend it enough.

100 Men vs 1 Gorilla in MEATSHOT. Accidentally invented "Matrix of the Apes"
Hitching in Nightreign
setup:
i5-12400 ----------- Arch Linux x86_64
rx 7800xt ----------- Linux 6.15.4-arch2-1
32gb (4x 8gb) -----------KDE Plasma 6.4.1 (Wayland)
Installed on SSD ----------Bootloader= Systemd
Proton-GE
Issue:
-Game runs around 60fps but has major hitching both in solo and multiplayer runs
Solutions tried (still applied):
-https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8751#issuecomment-2945876353
variation to link:
- instead of changing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= I added intel_pstate=disable into /usr/share/systemd/bootctl/arch.conf
- added VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv gamemoderun %command% to launch options
- in console used sudo echo performance | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governorecho performance | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
Desired result:
-Making the game run at a stable fps (even if it means switching to medium settings or somehow removing fps limit) without stutters.
I'm pretty new to arch and linux in general

Lack of Game ready amd drivers for when game newly releases
So I had tried linux and was my main daily driver for 2 years untill I switched back to windows because the reason is whenever a game released on PC the drivers were available for windows the day before on release day or the day after but with linux there is no driver ready for new games that freshly releases. How do you guys workaroud that and is there a workaround or do you guys just wait?

Added a second NVMe to my Fedora KDE setup, fixed Steam/Proton issues, and cleaned up the Flatpak mess
Hey everyone, just wanted to share how I upgraded my Linux gaming setup this weekend in case it helps anyone else.
I'm running Fedora with KDE Plasma and wanted a second NVMe (4TB) to store games and videos. My old motherboard only had one M.2 slot, so I picked up a Gigabyte B550M Aorus Elite. Decent price, worked fine. Only small issue was it has just one USB header, so I had to ditch the RGB on my case fans. The fans still run, just no flashy lights. I’ll live.
Once the drive was installed, I used KDE Partition Manager to:
- Set it to GPT
- Format it with BTRFS (for snapshots and compression)
- Gave it the label "games" (which I later changed)
I mounted the drive to a folder in my home directory (something like /home/mogeo/4TB) and added an entry to /etc/fstab using the UUID. That way it mounts automatically at boot. Using UUIDs is more reliable than using device names like /dev/nvme1n1p1, which can change. I also created a Steam folder on the new drive and set the permissions so I had full access.
Then Steam threw me a curveball. I couldn’t install any Proton games. It was giving me "disk write" errors. After some digging, I realised I was still using the Flatpak version of Steam, which runs in a sandbox. By default the sandbox doesn't have access to arbitrary folders on your system, including my new drive.
Rather than messing with Flatpak overrides, I just removed the Flatpak version and installed the RPM version of Steam from the Fedora repos (finally). Problem solved. Proton games installed right away, no complaints.
I already had a bunch of games from Flatpak Steam, so I copied them manually from the Flatpak folder to the new Steam folder on my 4TB drive. After launching the RPM version of Steam and pointing it to that folder as a library, it detected the games and verified them when I went to launch them. No need to re-download.
One small thing I noticed: even though I labeled the file system as "4TB", Dolphin (KDE’s file manager) showed the drive as "Games". Turns out it displays the partition label, not the file system label. Since I plan to use the drive for more than just games, I went back into Partition Manager and changed the partition label to "Storage". Since I mounted it using UUID, that change didn't break anything.
After all that, I cleaned up the leftover Flatpak Steam data. Only copied over the games I needed, then deleted the rest. Got back around 300 GB of space. Disclaimer: Make sure you know what you're deleting 😳
Final setup:
- 4TB NVMe drive mounted with UUID
- Steam and Proton games install and run without issues
- For me. RPM Steam works better for this use case than Flatpak
- Drive renamed and multi-purpose now
- No RGB on the fans, but I can deal with it
If you've done something similar or have thoughts on better mounting practices or file system tips, feel free to drop a reply. Always keen to learn from others in the community.
Here's the video for those that prefer the dulcet tones of my voice 😜 (plus I am one away from 100 subs 🤩)

NVIDIA Confirms 580 Linux Driver Is The Last For Maxwell / Pascal / Volta
I am one of those who will "suffer" since my card is a GTX 1070 non-ti. Unfortunately then I dont find any of the current cards from AMD or Nvidia tempting. But I guess it will take a few years before 580 will get removed from Debian (current version is 535 in stable and 550 in testing )

Dead by daylight on arch
Hello everyone, I’ve had an issue lately on arch - when i run dead by daylight it loads vulkan shaders and then proceeds to show a message “failed to initialise dependencies”, even with every version of proton. Game file integrity is alright, not corrupted. Anyone knows how to debug/fix?
Edit: I use wayland hyprland - ml4w dotfiles

Kerbal Space Program thinks screen is higher res than it is
I wanted to launch KSP on Fedora Kinoite 42 for the first time, works great except when putting it in -popupwindow mode (because Borderless is not native) it thinks my screen is 2016 x 1134 (it's 1080p). So when it is set to 1080p it looks like this
If I set it to the weird res, it does work but it's blurry EDIT: It actually works like this but if anyone has any idea why it does this...
My specs : AMD Ryzen 5 5600, AMD Radeon 6600, 32GB ram

MangoHud: DIsplay GPU Name insteaf of "GPU"
Of you have more than 1 GPU inside, it would be nice to display the currently used GPU name, instead of simple "GPU" in fron of the GPU stats. How Can i do that?
This is my current setup:
hud_compact=0 horizontal_stretch=1 legacy_layout=1 hud_no_margin=0 gpu_text=GPU cpu_color=2e97cb cpu_text=CPU io_color=D8D8D8 vram_color=4FB830 ram_color=0068B5 engine_color=ff5500 gpu_color=c26693 wine_color=3A8623 frame_timing=0 frametime=0 frametime_color=4FB830 media_player_color=3A8623 background_alpha=0.3 background_color=020202 position=top-left text_color=D8D8D8 round_corners=10 toggle_hud=Shift_R+F12 toggle_logging=Shift_L+F2 upload_log=F5 output_folder=/home/bilbo/Dokumente output_file=mangohud.log pci_dev=0:01:00.0 cpu_temp gpu_temp time time_format=%R time_no_label fps=1 fps_limit=30 fps_limit_method=late font_file=/usr/share/fonts/droid/DroidSansFallback.ttf offset_y=10 offset_x=10 width=175 font_size=24 font_size_text=20 font_scale=1 table_columns=3I know, that i can "hardcode" via gpu_text=GPU, but i would like to replace this dynamically with the current used GPU.

Quest 3 on Linux
Hello, I am not sure if someone else already asked this but I want to know if there is any way to connect my quest 3 to my Bazzite OS pc. I want to play steamvr games without having to boot from my slow external hdd with windows 10 just to play some simple games...
Everytime I try to connect it says smth like "streaming from this device is not supported" and that pisses me off.
Please if you know anything about it let me know, thank you.

NVIDIA 0%
Good morning I'm running Fedora 42 with a graphics card: ~~~ :~$lspci 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA106M [GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) ~~~
I modified mangohud to: pci_dev=0000:01:00.0
When I run a program with: DRI_PRIME=pci-0000_01_00_0 mangohud [game] Mangohud displays 0% GPU and
[MANGOHUD] [error] [nvidia.cpp:35] NVIDIA module initialization failed: driver not loaded
I have the impression that my card does... Nothing....
Thank you for your help
