Colors Flash/Change Tints RANDOMLY no matter the distro, I am primarily a TV Gamer and I just can't switch to Linux because of this, I don't have these issues at all on Windows, I want to switch to Linux but I absolutely can't when I get these random flickers of color changing in my face, it's so distracting.

It happens on Desktop, Games, Literally EVERYTHING, and for some God Awful reason, when I boot my PC into Linux or anything with Linux Installed on it, my BIOS/post screen is all GREEN, I've swapped HDMI cables so many times and nothing fixes it.

I am using a RX 9070 XT, so I'm not sure if it has something to do with that HDMI 2.1 issue?

Hi, I hope I'm in the right place.

I have an old but very well-preserved wireless Xbox 360 controller with the original dongle. The gamepad still works perfectly, at least under Windows. Unfortunately, I noticed that under Linux, the directions on the D-pad are wrong, i.e., up and left and down and right are swapped.

Is there a way to fix the problem at its root, or is it just time for a new controller? It seems a shame to throw it away.

Hey there Linux experts,

I'm debating switching to linux (e.g. Bazzite) on my main PC, but I'm having worries about the performance of my GPU, since I've read a lot about performance drops when switching.

How bad is it really? It it a general problem I would also encounter with my older hardware or is it more limited to newer, more performant stuff?

My unprofessional guess would be that the performance gained by getting rid of all of the bloatware etc. would offset the few percent the driver translation causes but idk. if thats how it works

Hey there, So I recently acquired a Dell Alienware 16 Aurora AC16250, with an RTX 5050 8gb GPU, Intel Core 7 and 16 gb ram. Is Linux compatibility with Alienware good?

So I've started using arch linux for a while, and I've noticed that steam simply refused to function whenever I've got my VPN turned on (using opensourceVPN with the network manager and proton VPN servers). I've tried to understand the fundamental issue, and it seems that steam is unable to connect to the internet with the VPN on, likely that it is either unable to send or receive packages using my IP. I've asked a person I know and was advised to make a network manager layer below the one used by the VPN, so that applications can steam can see my IP address and theoritically work unrestricted.

Did anyone encounter such an issue? Does anyone know how to perform such a thing, or whether it actually treats the core issue? Thanks for any help.

So I have a fairly chunky PC with the latest Mint installed(I5-2600k, 32gbDDR4, 4060ti) and I can run pretty much whatever I want just fine, helldivers, baldurs gate, MHWilds (mostly)

Whenever steam starts downloading something... the entire system slows down. Significantly. While downloading BG3 for instance, onto a drive that isn't where the OS is, running a game like Tiny Rouges(also on a different drive from the other two) is suddenly too much and stutters between 2 and 7fps.

Every time I try and look this up, I can only find people complaining about Mint slowing down Steam, not the other way around. Any hints/ Threads or clues I should follow? I'm still fairly new so I haven't tinkered much with anything and I'm worried that grabbing the .deb of steam was wrong somehow?

Sup guys I'm "new" to Linux, I'm using Manjaro, I know how to use Linux on the basics. But I need some advices for the gaming side. I play a lot of games, most of them are from steam and I think a lot of them will work thanks to proton. The game that I want to play is zenless zone zero, but I don't know how to install it, and I use XXMI for the skin mods, will it work?

I'm trying it out right now, and so far i'm quite liking it. I like how you can add an app menu shortcut to games. It's different from Heroic and Lutris though. It might replace Lutris for me maybe.

1. I don't see a way to install GOG games beyond just downloading the .exe from GOG, installing it using wine, then adding the executable to Faugus. Is there a better way?

2. Epic games seem to run all in the "Epic games launcher" prefix? The 1 game i tried installing from epic runs perfectly fine, but i have to open epic games and run the game. Is there a way to add the games from epic to be run directly from Faugus automatically? Or does it not work like that?

I've struggled with mint namely bluetooth didn't work for 8BitDo Pro 2 Bluetooth Gamepad and also cinannimon. Also screen tearing was issue hard to overcome. My gaming laptop is loq 15 with rtx 4050.

When it opens another (headless) window, its usable for like 5 secounds but after that whole game freezes and it crashes. The game im using is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and the secound window opens when you click the pop up button on thing like the efb. Please someone help me fix it.
