Hello, I'm a new linux user and currently using Nobara. It's a great distro, but I'm kinda thinking of switching, the reason being because Nobara is using their own custom modified packages, it limits the app and package installations to use their own installer to be compatible and it made me scared to install some stuff outside them. This goes the same for support where I can only ask their community if I have some problem with the system.

I have some questions for CachyOS, is it also the same case for that distro where if you need support you can only ask Cachy community or can I also ask Arch community? Can I install app and packages without needing to worry about compatibility? Also Nobara has a driver manager app where it's really easy to install, update and change driver, is it the same with Cachy?

I made a Discord Rich Presence script for Mac/Linux that supports all steam games. It also supports modding, so, for example, with my Undertale mod I can display my location, name and LoVE in my profile. Also you can change the static game name, icon and description (which by default is a list of developers)

So I found a post in here and there's 2 big reasons and one smaller

1. Porting to consoles requires Windows, no way around it
2. Proton is fine enough
3. Windows has tools like Visual Studio which are needed

As a hobbyist who supports Linux in his games, all I can say is good luck with Linux revolution lmao

Hello everyone , i have found this workaround

step1. add an app that is already listed in the programs

step 2 : open its properties and go this ( before : image )

Step 3:: now change the target to the exe file u want to execute

step4 : also change the start In folder to the folder the exe file is in

IMPORTANT add " " at the end and beginning of the target and start in paths !

AND add go to the compatability to add the proton aswell

EVEN MORE IMPORTANT : once you do it like this u cannot add the " burner " app u used to do this .( i think deleting the game u added using the burner should add it back but i cant test it cuz i already downloaded the game and it takes 1-2hrs to download ).

Hello!

I exclusively only gaming on linux by now on a LG G2 TV (which doesnt have DisplayPort input). And i just cant decide wether to get a 5070ti or a 9070XT.

Main problem is the missing HDMI 2.1 support with the 9070XT.

The 9070XT would be generally the better choice, faster and cheaper, but even with a DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1. adapter, im going to lose VRR and 10-bit HDR.

I hope for a DP 2.1. to HDMI 2.1 adapter, but there is none yet and who knows if thats even ever change.

I already tried out the most recommended adapter from Cable Matters, but i didnt tinker with the firmware yet.

Im wondering how you would decide.

I am planning on moving to Linux next year but I need a Windows boot for multiplayer games like bf6.

Should I use 11, 10? A custom iso that is pre stripped down to remove bloat.

What do you guys use as your dual boot?

Hello, after using dual boot for a long time I finally decided to switch to Linux Mint permanently.

After installing a game I played a lot on windows, Stalcraft X, I noticed that the game only uses the integrated intel gpu and runs bad because of it, I tried to launch it using the "run with dedicated gpu" option from the applet menu but had no succes.

Does anyone know how can I make the game use the dedicated gpu?

(I have a Lenovo Legion 5 laptop with Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU, also I use the Nouveau display drivers)

Game is Resident Evil Revelations 2 (Biohazard) installed in steam in Ubuntu 24 LTS (snap, but also tried with .deb version). Game crashes at every workbench unless it's exe file is located in the c: drive. Tested & works in Windows 10.

I tried creating a symlink from the Ge-Proton location to the game files location, made no difference.

I read something about using protontricks and setting the steam compat data path or ge-proton's path equivalent. This has to be written in the steam launch so I can still save to the cloud & I am unsure what steps to do.

I have been personally using XFCE for this. But this should work on about any Xorg based DE.

Battle.net on linux is a nightmare. But that isn't the only way to play Hearthstone.

In this post, the setup will go something like this - Hearthstone inside Android inside Waydroid inside Wayland inside Weston inside Xorg.

So start off by making sure virtualization is on. You can either do it from BIOS or by running

lsmod | grep kvm

If it is enabled, you should see kvm_<your-cpu> (kvm_intel, kvm_amd, etc.)
If it is not, you can enable it from your BIOS.

- Then install the required packages from pacman

sudo pacman -S waydroid weston lxc dnsmasq

Learn more about Waydroid, Weston, LXC, DNSMasq

- Then enable the service and check status

sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable --now waydroid-container systemctl status waydroid-container

It should output Active (Running).

- Initialize Waydroid

sudo waydroid init -s GAPPS -f

- Start Wayland (do not close the terminal you started it from after starting)

weston --xwayland

Then open two different terminal and run this in order -
Terminal 1

waydroid session start

As soon as it says Android user is ready, run this in the second terminal -

waydroid show-full-ui

From there open Play Store, login, and install hearthstone like you would in a normal android.

Here's the link for the lazy or the dummy - the link

If you have any doubts - feel free to comment or DM.

I'm looking for a customizable front end. And when I say customizable, i don't mean like Pegasus FE customizable. Learning QML sounds like it would be a ton of work... I mean more like modded 3ds customizable. and preferably it should be easy to do custom organization too (also kinda like a 3ds)

Hello everyone, I'm a relatively new Linux user.

I'm thinking about playing Diablo IV on Linux, but I really dislike anti-cheat software (especially kernel-level ones like Vanguard or Ricochet). That's why I avoid games that use anti-cheat software. However, even though I've wanted to experience Diablo IV for a long time, I'm undecided about whether to buy the game because of the anti-cheat issue.

From my limited research, I understand that Diablo IV uses Blizzard's “Warden” system. What are your thoughts on this? Is it “cleaner” than others because it doesn't run at the kernel level? Does it affect system performance or privacy in a way I should be concerned about? And just as importantly, is it as “sticky” as the others? If any anti-cheat software is installed on the system, what's the best way to remove it?

I'd like to hear the community's thoughts on this. Thanks!

I'm not trying to play any heavy recent games, just classics like portal, flower. Stray, world of goo.

I don't care about getting the bestest FPS or whatever, just have some fun.

But as far as I can tell none of these games are playable at all. They have smooth perfect animations for 30s or so and then start stuttering for 10-20s then suddenly play perfectly fine for a while again.

I assume this is the problem with "shaders" but... Surely nobody is satisfied playing games like this?

This is all games I've tried and didn't seem to be affected by resolution or anything else happening on the machine. My laptop isn't a gamer machine but as I said, I don't care about getting the highest FPS or lowest ping, just being basically playable.

Installed EndeavorOS. When I first installed Discord and steam, neither worked. For steam I would get a msg along the lines of "unable to open a connection to X" and discord simply would just not open. Then I was like "maybe I should just try a DE" (was on sway). I installed plasma, went to open it from the tty, realized I didnt know the command to open it, went back to sway to search it up, thought "Lets see if the plasma installation installed something necessary for steam", successfully opened steam then discord (didnt bother going back to plasma). Now neither steam or discord can be interacted with while their on my second monitor. They work on my second monitor and I can somehow still move them onto my main monitor, but I literally cannot click a thing on them while they are on my second monitor (just in case it wasnt clear, other applications work just fine, its just discord and steam). How fix?
