Fan-made Unreal remake Unreal Redux shows off a fancy new trailer
Introducing KRetro: a Libretro game emulator from KDE! (Alpha Release)
Anyone knows how to fix stutterings caused by cpu usage spikes in Spider-Man 2?
I have a Ryzen 5600g, 16gigs of memory, gen 3 nvme SSD, rx6600. Normally the game uses 60% ish cpu when level of details set to very high and 30-40% when set to medium.
Is there a way to get rid of stutters? The game is so unoptimized. GoWR ran so smoothly.

I've created an armoury create alternative
Hey guys,
After spending a year of my scarce free time on this project, I’ve decided to share it.
It’s an alternative to Armoury Crate, but for Linux (tested on Bazzite and CachyOS).
This application relies on asusctl and other tools and libraries to provide:
- Performance profile control
- Fan curve control
- CPU/IO schedulers
- Support for renicing processes
- Steam integration if you have Decky installed
- Battery charge threshold adjustment
- RGB lighting and AuraSync for Asus devices (I’ve modified the experimental version of OpenRGB to only support ASUS devices, but I plan to add general device support in the future)
Here’s the link in case anyone wants to try it out and share some feedback:

Thanks a lot for your time!

Red Dead Redemption 2 Epic Games version with Heroic Launcher on integrated graphics intel iris xe - core i5-1235U - 8GB
Hello everyone, I was trying to run RDR 2 on my laptop running Fedora with the Gnome Shell the way you can read from the title.
Essentially I've fixed some stuff with the following game arguments and environment variables:
arguments: -vulkan -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -cpuLoadRebalancing -sgadriver=Vulkan
variables...
USE_FAKE_EPIC_EXE = true
MANGOHUD = 1
MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE = iris
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME = mesa
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE = 0
VK_ICD_FILENAMES = /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json
WINEDLLOVERRIDES = vulkan-1,dinput8=n,b
After all of this I am now able to smoothly run the game in the main menu and settings, removing the frustrating 2D software rendering in that section.
But now, after the loading screen (story mode and online mode, that's the same behavior) the game slowly decrease the GPU usage until it reaches 0%, freezing this way the game and making it unplayable.
I have already tested the game using windows, and it works great, but I just don't want to make a dual boot system for playing it, as I'm sure it can run good here to.
The game also reports fake memory usage in the graphics settings, as reported in picture, and that's the reason why I can't edit graphics settings in game, but I need to edit the system.xml file in the pfx.
I have already tried almost every proton-ge, wine-ge version, now I'm currently using Wine-GE-latest.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Why does the game go in software rendering?
Why does it report a fake memory usage?
Is the fake memory usage the main cause of the problem?
One last thing: the game crashes if I try to go in fullscreen mode, it does not matter how: -fullscreen, game settings, everything makes it crash and no more starting.
fake vram usage up here, I have no idea what are that "other apps" consuming 5gb, really no idea.

Battlefield 6
Genuinely curious. With Battlefield 6 launching this week and potentially representing DICE’s “return to form” with the franchise, how are Linux gamers dealing with this?
I repurposed some old parts for use specifically with a second PC to run Windows on, and I am basically treating that PC like a console. I contemplated buying a console, but this approach was similar in terms of overall cost.
Have others settled on other solutions?

Any Rust players out there? Join in anti-offline Rust server that is Linux-friendly (play.protobit.space)
Rust has EAC anti-cheat enabled and its explicitly set to not work on Linux via wine/proton. As a result, server admins can disable EAC protection server-side, so Linux players can join. Note that it's not "cheaters paradise", as other separate anti-cheat methods are implemented.
So I invite you all (both Linux and Windows players) to play on a server that allows raiding, but has anti-offline mod/plugin installed: Protobit
What surprised me is that they have super active admins who promptly and professionally respond to players. Their website is pretty basic, but they have a Discord server (https://discord.gg/CktVj4Ax) as well. Server also has some quality of life mods that doesn't change core Rust gameplay, but greatly enhances the experience.
You can search for Protobit in modded servers list (enable "Show empty servers" filter), or you can also join directly via F1: connect play.protobit.space
While other popular Linux server implements no-raid policy, I don't think this is how Rust is intended to be played. This server is trying to fix it by allowing online raiding, while still keeping it chill by having anti-offline raid protection, so you can sleep without 24/7 monitoring your base.
Currently, there are not a lot of players playing in protobit server, but it's always more fun when there are more players?
And most importantly - both Linux and Windows players are welcome! :)
P.S. I am not an admin of this server, just know those guys who administrate it and so far I am very satisfied with the quality of the server.

OS switch fixed gpu coil whine ?
I´m new to daily driving Linux and noticed something interesting. My rx 6900xt used to have pretty noticeable coil whine ever since i got it. Under Windows 10 it was some what annoying when browsing the web, but not to distracting during gaming.
However since i switched to Brazzite as my daily driver I haven´t noticed any coil whine. So I´m curios could this be driver related or dose anyone another explanation?

Linux Laptop, Lutris, and Problems with Fallout 4
Hello,
I've been trying to get Fallout 4 to work on my laptop through Lutris. Every time I try to run it, I get a black rectangle that appears for a second and it terminates.
This only happens when I try to use the discrete graphics card (GTX 1050M).
I've been trying to use different types of wine versions(wine, proton, system) and disabling features like AMD Super Resolution and Feral GameMode.
Let me know if you any tips.
Specs:
Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)
GETAC S410G2
Intel Core i7-8650U
UHD Graphics 620, NV137

PC can't upgraded to windows 11, so I am thinking of switching to Linux
I have a reallllllly PC (10 years old I think), I mainly use that PC to watch videos, talk on discord and play some very old or very small (less than 10 Gigabyte) steam games. I do all my work on my University laptop and don't need the PC for any of that.
Since microsoft is ending support for windows 10 I was thinking of switch to Linux since I think there are many different verisons of it, I think? and they still get updates. But now I don't know which version I should switch to because I heard some version aren't able to operate steam games very well. So can someone tell me which version of Linux would work the best for using firefox, discord and steam?
Edit: Oh also how do I check for updates?
Edit 2: Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I will go with Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition, since it seems the most common for beginners.

XFX RX 6650 XT overheating on Linux – hits 80°C within seconds even with undervolt 😩
Is there a way to remote play my Xbox?
I currently have an Xbox series X and a gaming PC at home that uses Opensuse tumbleweed.
I also have a mini PC at work that has Linux Mint and just has an Intel n100 CPU.
I want to remote play my Xbox from my PC at work but just learned that XBplay is now discontinued.
Is there another third party app or method that would work?
I don't have ultimate gampass so Xcloud is not an option.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Help Please -- NTSync Not Working with Debian 6.16.3 Kernel and Wine 10.16
I have the Debian Trixie backports kernel 6.16.3 and Wine-Staging 10.16. Both claim to support NTSync, but it's not working. Could someone kindly explain what's wrong?
Here is what I'm doing:
#1 Load kernel module: sudo modprobe ntsync
#2 Check that ntsync device is created and read/write accessible to all users: sudo udevadm info --name=ntsync
P: /devices/virtual/misc/ntsync M: ntsync J: c10:261 U: misc D: c 10:261 N: ntsync L: 0 E: DEVPATH=/devices/virtual/misc/ntsync E: DEVNAME=/dev/ntsync E: DEVMODE=0666 E: MAJOR=10 E: MINOR=261 E: SUBSYSTEM=misc#3 Start something in wine and leave it running: wine notepad
#4 Check that the ntsync device is being used: lsof /dev/ntsync
The output of lsof is empty, indicating that the ntsync device is not being used. :(

Icon/Font issues with Team Fortress 2 on Linux with Custom Hud
I currently have to use Windows, although still use my Steam Deck regularly, and I'm working on a custom hud for TF2, although things like checks, the close button, etc, don't seem to be working, as in they appear as letters instead of what they should. The text fonts themselves work fine, but this is still really inconvenient, as I'd like to go back to Linux full time, and I want the hud I made to function as it does on Windows on it.

Multiuser setup (simultaneous users at the same time)
Has anyone played around with setting up a multiple user environment, where one user is gaming, the other user(s) may be doing whatever e.g. web browsing?
Currently I have a PC with a Ryzen 7700 and an RX 9070 and B850M-X Wifi, running KDE Bazzite (since steam works ootb).
I know one way to do this might be to just make every user a VM. Assign the GPU to the gamer, the iGPU to the other user... a kink is that i wanted to let the other user use blender when the gamer is not gaming. I am not sure how difficult this would be to setup and have zero experience setting up a multiple VM scenario. At most I've done single VMs for cybersecurity class or a webserver but never having multiple simultaneous users where the GPU needs to be shared.
Linus Tech Tips famously did like 12 gamers on one PC so I will watch that video again, it has been a few years.
