Speed Dreams or TORCS
I recently looked into open source car race games and found the two above. I installed Speed Dreams, but it is quite difficult, especially playing with kids. Which one is better / which one has the option to reduce realistic simulation in favor for easier game play? (yes, we have tux cart)

AMDGPU crash - reset failure
Hello everyone,
I am gaming for sometime on Linux now but I have an issue I cannot resolve. When playing on GPU intensive games on Linux (Fedora 41 silverlbue) I have a crash that stops my session.
It seems like a known issue but I don't have any patch, here are the associated logs :

do you use gamescope in all your games? and why or why not
in the past I used gamescope in all my games, but since last year I stopped using it because I got some performance problems and incompatibility with mangohud, but I still use it in older games like visual novels to upscale the image.

Tried linux to get an old Xbox dance mat working. need some help.
I have an old original xbox Intec dance mat I would like to use for ITG/Stepmania. I bought an Xbox to USB adapter cable but Windows 11 won't recognize it so I made a USB and booted into "try linux" mode to test if I could get it working on ubuntu. I haven't used linux in a while (~10 years) and was never really confident in the terminal beyond just copying and pasting commands, but I tried to install xpad and jstest-gtk to test it and it didn't work. it also wouldn't recognize my standard Series X controller which makes me think I installed the driver incorrectly (although the series X controller at least shows up in lsusb, which the dance mat does not). I also tried to install xboxdrv but I don't think I did that right either. I have genuinely no idea what I'm doing and would appreciate any guidance on how to at least get the drivers set up correctly

KDE Plasma HDR - SDR brightness changes HDR brightness
Usually this means HDR isn't enabled. But everything is installed correctly and it does this on gamescope and mpv player.
It's so disappointing because it feels like this one little step is all that needs to be fixed for HDR to be fully functioning on linux!

Just a question
Hey everyone, I'm a new Linux user (been really using it for 2-3 days, distro hopped a few times before settling in on one, which is now "Garuda Linux KDE Dragonized") and I wanted to say that my experience is quite good, honestly. But, I have something to ask. First, some context. I game a lot, and some games I tested don't run on Linux, they just refuse to open using Steam's proton and I don't know why. Looking a bit more, I saw that maybe the reason this happens is because the hard-drives I use for gaming are NTFS instead of ext4 (I come from windows 11). I just wanted to know if this is really the reason for it and, if so, how to format my drives into ext4. Sorry if something here doesn't make sense, I'm still practicing my English and this is my first time ever interacting with reddit. Thanks, nonetheless, and goodbye for now

Gnome 48 vs Plasma 6
Since GNOME 48's release, with its HDR support, has gaming on GNOME become as good as on KDE?

XBox styled gamepad button PlayStation glyphs
Hi. I bought the Gamesir Super Nova Gamepad which has an XBox Style button layout (A is south, B is east, ...). I bring it in "PC mode" and connect it via Bluetooth to my Laptop. In this mode it emulates a Dual Shock 4 Controller, hence why Steam (on Fedora Linux) recognizes it as a PlayStation Controller (X is south, circle is east, ...).
So the Steam UI and some games l liuse these PlayStation glyphs. Long story short: how to only have XBox glyphs (ABXY) every where?
But the functionality of the controller is perfect, it's only the presentation layer I am annoyed with.
Any hints?
Thx

CPU or GPU upgrade
So I have a 5600x and a 6700 XT and I play at 1080p and 1440p depending on the game. I have noticed with some of the newest games that I am have fps drops and lows where the game feels like a picture book or laggy. It's mainly in open world games or story mode games like God of War. My games are on a sata 2tb SSD so I think it should be good. I have been tempted to upgrade to ddr5 and debating on Intel or AMD. AMD has better performance but Intel looks like better 1% lows. My question is do you think that my CPU or GPU might be causing the low dips in frames. Both are giving me great performance but the lows are very noticeable and I wonder which I should upgrade first. I do distro hop still and I use cachyos.

A Doctor from Australia made a Puzzle Bobble cannon contraption and controller that works in real life. I delivered a Custom Build of my game to make it work!
Anyone else not able to get external controller working in game on Bleach Rebirth of Souls Steam?
I'm using Debian Linux with an Xbox Series X controller connected through USB that normally works with every Steam game I've thrown at it, but for some reason Bleach Rebirth of Souls just won't recognize my controller in game and it just defaults to mouse & keyboard controls instead. Anyone else have this issue???

Can Steam pre caching shaders cause this problem?
Yesterday, I installed and played halflife rtx. Suprisingly everything went well no artifacts ok performance. Even recorded few clips to flex on my friends via OBS.
But today without changing anything on drivers etc. Only worked on few VMs through virtmanager. I click play and there is weird artifacts that were mot there yesterday. Only thing changed was the installed new shaders.
Using Nixos 570 drivers with 4060.

LTS vs regular ubuntu support for newer AMD card in next few months?
Update: thank you for responses! I'll try more cutting edge version until drivers come to LTS one, and this will be good way to trial linux on my new PC as well.
Been on Kubuntu on my older PC for few weeks and *loving* it. I don't miss being asked about copilot, forcing MS account sign up, etc. I'm on LTS version because it feels more stable than normal (tried both).
I'm getting new PC, which has new AMD Radeon RX 9070. Does LTS kernel gets updated with drivers for these as well in next few months, or only normal ubuntu version?
Note that I did research on manually installing drivers, open source versions, etc, and that's fine - my question is specifically on Ubuntu support for newer hardware in LTS vs normal.
I tried googling this but i'm getting older ubuntu versions, and mostly about nvidia issues (which sounds good as i'm switching to Radeon!)
This is closest i found to an answer: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1255956/do-i-need-to-manually-install-amd-gpu-driver-updates-on-ubuntu-20-04 but it doesn't tell about normal vs LTS.
