HDR looks overdone in Labwc but fine in KDE

11 Dec 2025 - 5:34pm

I have 2 monitors and hat support HDR, one of them AdobeRGB capable. And when I was testing touch input with KDE i had HDR turned on, but once I swapped back to Labwc, my bing wallpaper looked washed out on the lights from some buildings.

I haven't tested if HDR works on Labwc proper but I have noticed that when swapping desktops in testing.

Battle Net won't install on Lutris or Steam

11 Dec 2025 - 5:17pm

Hello,

I have spent a few hours over the last few days trying everything I can find to get battle net to work on Lutris. I'm trying to play HOTS if that matters.

I have tried every version of Proton and Wine, I've used steam to try and install it as well as Lutris, no matter what I do the install gets stuck at 45% and then eventually fails and stops responding. The error that gets put into the log files is :
Failed to read db info from 'C:/ProgramData/Battle.net/Agent/product.db'

I'm pretty new to gaming on linux but would love some help from anyone who can get it to work? any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Ubuntu Studio for gaming

11 Dec 2025 - 4:28pm

Hi! Is Ubuntu Studio a good choice if I want to game on Linux? Are there any limitations compared to regular Ubuntu that I should be aware of?

Linux gaming noob here. I have used regular Ubuntu for more than 5 years, some time ago I switched to Ubuntu Studio. Now I want to try gaming on Linux.

My games are on Steam, GOG and Epic. So far I used Windows for gaming (dual boot system).

I read that Ubuntu is fine for gaming, but I haven't found any info about Ubuntu Studio. If Ubuntu Studio has any limitations for gaming I'd rather know about it beforehand than start messing around with it and mess something up. Yes, it's happened to me in the past and yes, I had to reinstall the system because of it :)

Low latency Kernel used by Ubuntu Studio is better/worse for gaming? Or it does not matter?

Chess-tui: Play lichess from your terminal

11 Dec 2025 - 3:42pm

Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Thomas, a Rust developer, and I’ve been working on a project I’m really excited to share: a new version of chess-tui, a terminal-based chess client written in Rust that lets you play real chess games against Lichess opponents right from your terminal.

Would love to have your feedbacks on that project !

Help with Rockstar HELL launcher

11 Dec 2025 - 2:15pm

I am trying to play red dead online on my linux mint cinnamon 22.1

And after fucking with rockstar launcher for so long I can finally use the goddamn launcher

One problem is that it refuses to find me my games

My steam games are on other drive and for some reason rockstar checks only one drive

I'm going crazy I am completely out of ideas what to do

When I click play on steam it looks like it will run but then it just stops

Launcher is saying "buy now" and when I search for games it says there are none

Very disappointed

11 Dec 2025 - 1:31pm

Was my original post deleted by the administrators? Wow, very supportive community. You know what? I've changed my mind; my game will never support Linux. You can delete this post too!

I can't run The House of The Dead 1 with wine

11 Dec 2025 - 12:59pm

winecfg

execution 1

after clicking 'ok'

these are images of trying to run The House of The Dead 1 (maybe 32bit or 16 bit idk) with wine.

folders :

|--- folder 1 [contains iso] to mount
|
|--- folder 2 [contains thotd exe] to execute that searched for the mounted cd-rom

in windows i do it the same way. for linux : wine i used winecfg to add the mounted iso as D drive. but as you can see the error msg in the images and i shared the whole output in text below.

i use hyprland(obviously wayland) on NixOS.

and i downloaded :

wineWowPackages . waylandFull

wineWowPackages . stagingFull

```
