Is there any remote desktop for playing games on Linux? Aside from Steam.

I especially interested in: - Being able to login in SDDM remotely (I can probably stiwtch to login screen of Plasma itself if it's necessary) - Being able to use desktop as well - Wayland, if possible

If it can do that, I don't care if it's self-hosted or hard to setup.

Hey, I like linux and what they do, the thing is that my laptop have a Nvidia GPU and they dont typically run as well as AMD's for linux. I ask if there is a store online that might sell gaming laptops with very good AMD GPU's. Bounus points if they sell in South Africa where I am.

So, I have this SN30 Pro, which works great with Bluetooth, but whenever I have to charge it, the mappings are messed up.

If it's wired in XInput mode, A/B and X/Y are swapped. If wired in DInput mode, LB/LT and RB/RT are swapped... or at least I assume that's what is happening since it can only output LB/RB.

I have tried to follow this guide on hwdb files, just to get stuck like this person, thanks to the scancodes.

I think I found other possible solutions, but unfortunately they all seem to increase latency, which I would prefer to avoid.

I just installed Feral Interactive GameMode using the instructions for Ubuntu/Debian on Linux Mint 22. I used the provided terminal commands on the Github page to install the dependencies, then built and installed it as instructed.

Upon testing to see if GameMode would work with the provided command:gamemoded -t it produced this ERROR: Failed! message as attached below:

Did I do something wrong, should I uninstall and reinstall? Or is this normal and expected?

I am new to Linux, literally downloaded it yesterday. Before going on Linux, I downloaded RDR2 and mods on WIndows. Base game works like charm, but when I try to add DLL override, the games crashes.

I use 3 mod loaders, Lenny's Mod Loader, ASI Loader and Scripthook

I thought 'Some mods may cause the game to crash', and so, I put all mods away from RDR2, and tried to run each Mod Loader, but, it just crashes.

When I tried to run just dinput8, the game atleast 'started' (It was black screen for split second before it crashed)

I do not know what to do to fix this, so, if someone knows, please do share

I play my GOG games using GOG Galaxy, I installed it using the script provided in the Lutris website. I don't use the GOG launcher built in Lutris because it just does not work, no matter how many times I disconnect and try to reconnect, my games just don't appear, I don't know what is going on there.

The GOG Galaxy takes about 5 minutes to launch, and once I'm in, it scrolls up and down slowly, or has small freezes / lags.

I'm currently in Arch, but I experienced this with Manjaro, Fedora 39 and 40, and Linux Mint. (I have been trying different distros these past two years).

For those who have experienced this and made their GOG Galaxy run smoother, any advice?

The runner I am using is lutris-GE-Proton8-27-LoL-x86_64.

So I am new to ubuntu and I learned looots of things about the OS. And I decided to download Roblox studio on it. The original roblox works wholesome and amazing (from Sober). But the Studio, when I tried it with Wine, It was giving me errors when Im Logging in. Grapejuice? Well, it crashed all the time. Any suggestions about downloading roblox studio on ubuntu?

Hi all,
I'm hoping that one of you might help me out with this,

For some reason when I'm using an external monitor i get real low frames with the UFOTest, maybe this test is not the most reliable but the screen does seem to lag.

When it comes to reasons i'm betting that is related to my current drivers or lack of wayland support.(which I'm not 100% sure since I get 240fps(with the laptop screen) on the UFOTest vs the 28 with my main monitor)

Details about my system:
Distro: Fedora 41 (silverblue, Bazzite)
Graphics: 4080m 565.57.01 (I know... this probably wouldn't happen if I had an AMD)
Screen: Rox Strix xg32u
Resolution: 4k 144hz (yes lowering the resolution does seem to increase the frame rates but not by a lot, meaning it still lags.)

NOTE: Either with gnome extension or supergfxctl, I'm stuck in Hybrid mode, changes do not stick, no matter what I do.

i tried looking online, but everything is either windows or macOS. any help?

Hi, i have a few questions which may sound stupid but please help me out

Which is better ubuntu or debian and does it matter if its latest version or not (some told me debian 11 is better some says ubuntu 20,04 is better & upgrading to latest version of either of them reduces perfomance)

About kernel versions i have no idea which is the best which has the best perfomance etc.. until now i have found some xanmod.. clearlinux... linux generic these with some research have seen that are the best for gaming servers etcc

What im trying to do is host a dedicated game server and idk which do i use i keep switching kernels noticed that with xanmod the startup of the game server is slower but has a great perfomance and with linux generic is faster but seems bad perfomance...

if you dont know the difference in perfomance is there any command which i can check the differences they have so i notice which has the best perfomance?

i have this cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900KF CPU @ 3.60GHz

currently i have ubuntu 20.04 and im using linux generic 5.15 as kernel

i would really appreciate ur help...

Hi

Is anyone using game mode with either a 5700x3d CPU or 7900XT GPU and would like to share their settings? Or similar, I'm just curious what people are using especially with x3d CPUs. So far I left everything on default and didn't notice any difference while gaming tbh.

Thanks!

In the past the mods were only released for Windows, but the developer has in recent years also released widescreen fixes for emulators -- presumably cross-platform, provided that the emulator has a Linux build. From what I've played, the developer always attempts to also scale the HUD and game UI correctly.

It is worth noting that the mod pack hardly is limited to adding correct widescreen support -- the widescreen fixes may resolve compatibility issues, improve gamepad support, implement borderless fullscreen, allow customizing draw instance, among others.

I wish there's a "catch-all Wine override" which functions with most of the fixes.

TL;DR:

• Frame pacing feels shaped like a PWM, halved FPS (but still okayish)
• GPU usage drops to half of what is usually is
• Only happens when using my keyboard or mouse
• Doesn't happen when I use a controller
• Started happening recently, I know of no change to my system, HW or SW
• Doesn't present outside of Overwatch (afaik)

My specs:

• Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
• AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (12) @ 3.600GHz
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Lite Hash Rate
• RAM: 2x8GB
• 1 165hz monitor, 2 60hz ones
• Razer Basilisk V3 Pro (had some issues with dongles going bad)

What I tried:

• Not running anything else but OW
• Unplugging every USB device
• Adding __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 to the Steam launch options
• Using a different version of Proton

I don't play many if any other games than Overwatch. Recently an issue started appearing - after about 30-40 minutes of playing, I'd start to experience stutters. FPS count still shows 80 but it feels like it renders at 160fps for half a second and then doesn't render anything the other half. I later realized this only happens when I'm using my keyboard or mouse, kill-cams, standing still, POTG, all crisp. I also have a DualShock controller but when I use it, the frame rate is steady.

Some possibly related, possibly unrelated issues:

• I have a slight artifacting near the top of my monitor - horizontal lines spanning the width of the monitor of incorrect color, only presenting in fullscreen apps
• I heard clicking from within my case a couple weeks back that stopped soon after, I backed up my HDD but it could be the PSU(?)

At this point I'm leaning towards it being a hardware issue, but I'd love a second take.

sorry for no screenshot, it goes away if i switch focus

it seems like the whole frame freezes then only updates things around my cursor, this happens in any game where i am moving the camer, i have observed the same thing in storm works

GPU: GTX 960 | 565 drivers DE: hyprland

I went to play SCP:SL and it told me it was running on integrated graphics even though I have a good dedicated GPU

Arch detects it fine

The game works fine just it doesn't use the GPU how do I fix this

Apex banned because EA thinks a "small player base" is mostly cheaters (Not saying there isn't cheats on linux, there is https://youtu.be/0oGB5Q7u8J4 )
What alternatives?
I don't like overwatch that much, its to cartoony

and most new cod games are blocked due to anticheat I think. I just want to play a game with movement as smooth as apex is preferably exactly the same movement system or smth idk.

Hey guys, I don't know if this is the right sub to ask. However, I have a question. I don't currently own a ps4 or a ps5, however I was thinking about getting PS Plus in order to stream games to my pc. I am currently using Bazzite. My question is: can you set up Chiaki without owning a console for cloud gaming? Or is it not possible?

(Sorry for bad english.)
