Hi! I just setup my first linux PC on cachyOS(KDE, Wayland) I downloaded Ratbag and Piper as a way to modify my mouse for different games, but it's not detecting it at all despite steelseries being listed as compatible?.

The system itself names the mouse as Steelseries so it's not treating it as an unknown mouse.

Thanks for any help.

I'm sorry if this has already been answered but how is HDR in Linux, specifically using nvidia?This is truly the only thing holding me back for now. I really enjoy HDR.

I'm not sure if the same applies to shift + 6, 7, 8, or 9, but shift + 1 and 2 don't switch to the respective hotbar slots. I have shift bound to sprinting instead of ctrl, if that's relevant. I use Linux Mint 22.2, but I've had the same issue in Mint 22.1

my r9 380 4gb is no longer supported on windows and soon windows 10 will be sent to the grave, so was thinking about switching to linux to squeeze a bit more life from my hardware which still performs excellently for the games I play at 1080p, just recently I noticed that one of my new games was saying to update the gfx driver but obviously I cant its on legacy and the game uses unreal 5 which isnt fully supported on this card, the games performance is 60fps at 1080 on high but I have graphical issues with water texture I know this is due to my card not fully supporting the full range of unreal 5 so if I upgrade to linux would the card be fully supported again allowing me to squeeze even more life from my hardware.

thanks for any help

Arr! edition, it works if on my ssd where the os is installed though. Using steam and proton experimental.

EDIT: Forgot to mention but the external hdd is formated to ext4 and i have another game installed which works, gta 4

Fedora, KDE Plasma, KWin, Wayland

I'm looking for a new monitor and understand that 144hz is the default safe refresh rate that a setup like this will use on Linux. Is there a safe and easy way to force the higher refresh rates in these setups? Or should I just save money and stick to 144hz on a new monitor and not worrying about screwing with the kernel for some extra refresh rate?

Currently building a desktop for the first time in about 20 years and suffice to say I have no idea what i'm doing. After some research I've decided on the Ryzen 7 CPU and the sapphire pulse radeon RX 9070 XT GPU.

However I'm really stuck on the motherboard. It seems like every brand has some kind of serious issues. ASRock is evidently melting people's CPU, people seem to be mad at Asus for anti-consumer policies, Gigabyte has lower reviews across the board. I've had bad experiences in the past with an MSI laptop but maybe their desktop components are better?

currently leaning towards the asus tuf gaming b650 e but again I'm pretty squarely the mayor of noobtown here

I've also heard some issues about wifi not working on linux for certain boards so I would hope to avoid that because the way my house is set up running an ethernet cable from the cable modem to where the computer will be set up is no trivial task.

So I guess my question is which is going to be the nicest with the least amount of problems?

I'll probably be running Mint or Ubuntu if it matters, and the case I'm looking at getting is this one: https://a.co/d/90WgZB3

It has so many features that I cant possibly compose them in one post, but here are few highlights: mouse controls, built-in ascii art media player, RPC server, game detection service, powerful extension API, theming, all advanced chat features and voice calls are under development.

In very excited about getting a new card, and its my first amd card ever, is there anything that i have to do.

I remember i installed the amd steam once by accident and it didnt work with my nvidia card. And i had to uninstall and reinstall.

Would it be easier just to do a fresh install after i seat the new graphics card?

Hello guys and gals,

*I'm a relatively new Linux user, currently using Mint 22.1 Cinnamon.

*I've been trying to play Red Dead Redemption via Faugus Launcher, but for some reason it keeps crashing after few seconds.

*My laptop is pretty weak but it's supposed to run this game fine.

*My specs: 8GB DDR4 - Radeon R5 M330 2GB - Inter Core i5-7200U

*I say that it's supposed to run because during those few seconds the game runs pretty well then it freezes and after some time the whole system crashes

*I used different versions of Proton and nothing worked

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm using a pirated version of the game because I can't buy stuff in my country

I downloaded Cemu from the Bazaar, but every time I try to load a game it gets stuck on the splash screen and refuses to load. Any fixes?

решил попробовать поставить геншин на linux, по гайдам все вроде делал, использую heroic launcher, файлы игры скачались нормально, но вот когда запустил, после экрана приветсвия 2 кадра и ничего не меняется, может кто то сталкивался с такой же проблемой? если да то как решили?

I have a PNG with transparency that I want to display inside the MMORPG I play, in an specific X Y position.

It doesn't need to get updated just autostart with the game.

It would be nice if there was a key to toggle it ingame too.

Thanks

Which should I chose? I want the best performance for gaming while also having good stability and being able to install apps or do settings without needing to write 1000 commands and troubleshooting like in kubuntu where obs doesn't even detect my GPU as an encoder. If there's one even better for my needs please tell me. I do editing, screen recording, gaming, coding and everyday stuff like listening to music, watching YouTube etc

I installed Zorin 18 about two weeks ago, updated system it and all is working good. Installed Steam, then DAYZ. It installed the game plus all the runtimes (1.0, 2.0, 3.0) Proton BattlEye runtime, and Proton Experimental. I exited Steam and restarted and connected to official servers, and a LAN server and it ran and played great. I didn't want to download any mods just yet so I just stayed on official servers. Connected again the next day and was able to play fine.

Didn't play for a few days and when I tried to join, everything seemed normal until after the 1:15 or 15 second countdown, then it would pause and give one of two errors:

Warning (0x00040031) You were kicked off the game Login timed out (AuthPlayerLoginState)
Warning (0x000400f0) You were kicked off the game BattlEye (Client not responding)

I then verified the files and everything reported as fine. Restarted steam and same errors, usually Login timed out but a few BattlEye errors.

Renamed the Battleye folder and re-verified, it said some files were missing and would be re-downloaded so I exited Steam, restarted and it reinstalled all of the files again.

I got the same errors so I kind of gave up then. I tried again 2 or 3 days later and was able to connect and play again. After a day or so the errors came back and won't stop now.

This is connecting to any server, low ping or even LAN. Running DAYZ on Win11 has no issues whatsoever connecting or playing on all the same servers. (LAN servers running on Win11 and another on Linux.)

Xeon with an RTX 3050, 16 Gig RAM, 500 Gig SSD.

Any thoughts as to what i should try next?

Not only is the performance awful with constant stuttering, lower fps than I should be getting (50-70 frames) ​and fps dips (as low as 9-30) (doesn't just seem to be a lack of Linux compatiblity) the grass flickers like ​friggin ​crazy, I've tried limiting the FPS and even that didn't help much, are there any launch commands or recommend proton versions that can help me out here?

​​I'm using CachyOS, I've used both bore-lto and stock​. I have also ran the gaming using Proton experimental, proton-cachyos (native) and proton-cachyos (steam-linux runtime) to run the​ game. I am running this game on a RTX 4080-S, a Ryzen 9 5900x 12-core, and 32GB of ram. I've tried this game on both Btrfs ​formatted drives and Ext4 formatted drives. I have also turned hardware anti-aliasing off and environmental qaulity to low.
