I Have 3 Questions

3 Nov 2025 - 1:00pm

https://preview.redd.it/yoiqvrij61zf1.png?width=868&format=png&auto=webp&s=44d54cc9a680556ec00d231c3cc62f070450d04e

Hello, my English is bad, so I am writing in my native language, Turkish. Please excuse any mistakes I make.

1-) When I press the middle mouse button in Windows, the page scrolls, but here it pastes. How can I use the middle mouse button like in Windows?

2-) How can I move the top panel to the bottom?

3-) When I enter Dying Light, it doesn't recognize the RTX 3080 graphics card. It recognizes the AMD graphics card. How can I disable the AMD and make it recognize the RTX graphics card? CS 2 recognizes the RTX graphics card.

I would be very grateful if you could help me.

Issues with ARC Raiders on Mint

3 Nov 2025 - 12:15pm

okay, so this is a bit odd and i'm not sure what i'm missing, but i'm having issues booting the game.

to give some background though, i first installed it on my Steam Deck and it started up and ran just fine, no issues at all. then i installed it on my main rig running Mint: it'll get to the EasyAntCheat loading screen, the little command window for the anti cheat will open and close, then the loading screen will freeze and close, then the game goes from "Stop" to "Play" on Steam, indicating that the program has stopped.

i thought maybe it was an issue of the game requiring secure boot to be enabled, but the Steam Deck doesn't have it enabled by default so that shouldn't be the problem. i've tried multiple Proton versions and none seem to work. i'm kinda at a loss here.

any advice would be greatly appreciated (btw, "just don't use Mint" aint what i'm looking for).

I would like to switch to PikaOS...

3 Nov 2025 - 11:05am

Hi folks, I would like to full switch to PikaOS (I like the Gnome version) from Windows 11 but I have some questions that I hope someone can answer...

1) I have a 144Hz TV with FreeSync and an AMD 6950XT GPU. Can I use FreeSync like I do now on Windows by enabling VRR in the AMD Control Panel? What's the equivalent setting on PikaOS Gnome Version?

2) In the AMD Control Panel on Windows there is a section dedicated to overclocking/undervolting...Is there something similar on Linux so I can undervolt my gpu as easily and seamlessly as on Windows?

3) I have the Vader 4 PRO controller, will the supplied wireless dongle work? I absolutely don't want to use Bluetooth because of the huge input lag...

4) I have the HyperX Cloud Alpha gaming headset with its adapter as well, same goes for the Vader 4 PRO, will they work out of the box?

5) Will I be able to play online games like Battlefield 6 without getting banned for some reason if I'm not using Windows but using Linux?

These are the 5 fundamental questions for me to know whether to make the switch or not...thanks to anyone who is able and willing to respond...

Hosting a server through something like Radmin VPN / Hamachi

3 Nov 2025 - 10:36am

I want to host a dedicated game server for my friends and myself but I am unable to open ports (dynamic IP). For this reason I want to use on my linux machine something like Radmin VPN or Hamachi (but afaik Radmin does not work for linux and Hamachi does not work for my friend).

So which free software would you recommend to create a private network for me and my friends that would work both on Linux and Windows?

What's the VSync Interval equivalent of "dxgi.syncInterval" but in Vulkan?

3 Nov 2025 - 10:02am

For DirectX games, there is a convenient option to set VBlank interval for refresh rates for consistent frame pacing:
d3d9.presentInterval for DX9
dxgi.syncInterval for DX11 or later
Not sure what works for DX10/10.1

Is there any equivalent for Vulkan API or is frame limiting the only option

Linux mint / macro

3 Nov 2025 - 9:40am

Does anyone know a macro like tiny-task that i can used? iv'e been searching for quite some time now and i cant find anything. The closest one to tiny-task that i found was atbswp but i cant really use it because of its delay or just it being slow. Iv'e also used wine to download tiny-task itself and it works just it doesn't click or type only the mouse moves. Trying to get this to work on roblox lol

(EndeavourOS) Warframe crashes on launcher

3 Nov 2025 - 9:08am

Playing on Thinkpad T14 Gen 2 running EndeavorOS with KDE Plasma, 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 (8) @ 4.80 GHz, Intel Iris Xe Graphics @ 1.35 GHz [Integrated]

Game crashes 5 seconds into the launcher, no EE.log generated so have the terminal Steam logs if it'd help: https://pastes.io/steam-startup-log-on-endeavouros-with-immediate-update-check

Tried the following: Proton Experimental/9.0-4/10.0-2/Hotfix/GE 10-25, enabling/disabling DX12 in launch settings, disabling shader pre-caching, none of them works

Performance difference between windows 11 and bazzite?

3 Nov 2025 - 8:43am

Hi! I'm really tired of windows and want to change to bazzite. I've heard so many different takes on performance. Some says it's better some it's the same and some that the games run worse. I've have a mid range pc and I only play cs2 and now I've played alot of arc raiders. I don't use this pc to anything else than gaming so I will turn this in to a pure gaming machine and I'm not very good at pcs so I'm looking to go with bazzite for that reason. Tho my pc is not the greatest I don't want to loose any fps. Especially in cs2..

Specs: ryzen 7 3700x rx 9060xt16gb 2x16g 3200mhz.

some GTA 5 Legacy mods dont work.

3 Nov 2025 - 7:21am

Im running the game on Linux, and i want to mod it, but some mods don't work.

Asis and dlls work, like dinput8, OpenIV asi and Script Hook V.

The skip intro mod works for me, except the uncap fps mod.

Mods like Visiual Paradise and Fixes & Improvements don't work, even tough i could've sworn they worked when i installed them on windows.

Also, OpenIV on proton doesn't add folders when i drop them in and created folders dont show up unless i first extract a file to somewhere, so how do i fix that too?

MelonDS is suddenly crashing anytime I try to open a ROM on it. This did not occur before.

3 Nov 2025 - 6:13am

Title says it all. It was working just fine a couple of days ago, I haven't changed any settings since first setting everything up, and now it just won't go. I would like to fix this soon, I'm very impatient and getting frustrated.

Minecraft drops FPS on fullscreen mode - Bazzite Gnome

3 Nov 2025 - 4:41am

Hey guys, I'm having this weird issue since the last gnome update, where If I play minecraft fullscreen it starts dropping frames like crazy, which makes it super stuttery.

did you have it happen to some of you as well? Any fixes I could try?

ETA: If I make any other window draw on top of minecraft while fullscreen, it doesn't drop frames either.

Just made the switch

3 Nov 2025 - 4:24am

I’ve had an Ubuntu setup as a file and Plex server on an old Mac device, but just set up a dual boot on my Windows 11 machine to dodge the AI ‘upgrade’.

Tried Kubuntu briefly, but installed Steam incorrectly so I wiped it and installed Bazzite. I can’t tell the difference between running Infection Free Zone on Windows or Bazzite.

Sweet.

[Steam Deck] Roblox sober lagging

3 Nov 2025 - 4:10am

Hey all, I recently installed sober on my steam deck lcd 512gb. Many people, including those that made the tutorials i followed seem to have no problem running any roblox game at a smooth 60fps. Yet for me, every single game i play is 60fps with frame dips - some worse than others.

I feel like something may be wrong here. There’s no way roblox of all things should be lagging on this thing right?

Can anyone relate or give some ideas to fix this?

At my wits end

3 Nov 2025 - 3:43am

Literally nothing I’ve tried or any OS I’ve tried have I been able to get to work with Vulkan/DirextX11 graphics.

I have tried Fedora, Cachy, Ubuntu, Mint, and every tutorial setup help and article I’ve found has been absolutely fucking useless.

My retired gaming laptop, Intel CoffeeLake i7 & bane of my fucking existence nVidia GP106M (GTX 1060 Mobile) has been passed down to my daughter to play Steam. Her two favorite games of course being the ones I can’t get to work worth a fuck.

Am I retarded? Incompetent? What the ever loving fuck am I doing wrong? I used Rufus to bypass Windows 11 upgrade which is what kicked this whole mess off, and the fucking morons at Microsoft bricked local users a week after I finally got this piece of shit working.

Is there anyone who knows how to make a fucking 1060 work with goddamn fucking Palworld or Harry Potter Legacies Jesus Christ this is ridiculous.
