Hello, i use ds4 for CEMU and motions control works (after some udev rules) but vibration never works! any help?

I recently came across some news about AMD rolling out performance improvements for Ryzen CPUs in the stable version of Windows 11, particularly focusing on branch prediction enhancements. According to the article, these updates seem to boost CPU performance quite significantly on Windows.

This got me wondering—are these branch prediction improvements also applicable to Linux? If so, how are they implemented or handled in the Linux kernel? Are there any specific updates or patches that have been released or are in the works for Linux users to benefit from these enhancements?

I would appreciate any insights or information on whether Linux users can expect to see similar performance gains and how the Linux kernel manages these kinds of CPU optimizations.

Thanks!

I want to play some NFS UNBOUND, but every time i click on play. The game seems to start. But then it crashes.

I changed from EA App back to Origins. But still the same error. Any advice?

When on windows I really love to use Elgato's wave XLR, it's software + elgato support is great for changing audio on the fly. Is there anything simalar to it on linux?

Being able to specifically adjust Game audio, Chat audio and Browser(for video) audio is something I always feel like I'm missing out on when using linux.

even if a solution required setting up keybinds to use with a 3rd party steamdeck software instead of nice "sliders" like in the official steam deck plugin I'd be more than happy.

anyone know of an easy to setup software that fits this bill?

Saw a video of a risc-5 128 core cpu setup for half the price of a decked out Mac Studio with higher ram and storage than a Mac Studio and the guy had a hard time getting apps to work as well as they do on macOS. The video is like a year old by now I think and it got me wondering if it’s even viable right now

Hello everyone, I just had a very stressful few hours troubleshooting why TF2 is crashing on launch with EndeavourOS. I just wanted to share that the AUR package of NoMachine will break TF2 from launching. Here is the ERROR before the crash:

ERROR: ld.so: object '/run/host/usr/NX/lib/libnxegl.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored.

Once you uninstall NoMachine (and that is a process) https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NoMachine#Graphical_issues_(especially_with_Wayland)_after_uninstalling_NoMachine_after_uninstalling_NoMachine) TF2 will launch again.

Follow the commands from the comment on the AUR from user "fex0r" https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nomachine

Goodbye NoMachine thanks for all the stress... I hope this helps someone out there.

Hi there, I'm currently experiencing a lot of underperfoming issues while playing Elden Ring v1.12.0.

To start, here are my specs and system information:

Ryzen 5 2600 - 16GiB RAM - RTX 3070Ti 555.58.02

I'm using NVIDIA propietary drivers. The version is 555.58.02, installed with Pop Os NVIDIA LTS iso.

I've tried running the game from Heroic Launcher using both Wine (Wine-GE-8-26) and Proton (Proton-GE-9-11). I've also tried running with X11 and Wayland.

The game stutters a lot and I get barely 40fps under 1080p and High settings, which is, at least, strange compared to when I used to play in Windows where I could play at 1440p (DSR) on High settings and get 60fps stable or 1080p native with Ultra settings.

When using Mangohud, both CPU and GPU usage don't get over 50%, and using nvtop, GPU VRAM is not over 60% usage. Also, both CPU and GPU temps are normal, not getting over 60°.

I'd like to give you more information about performance for other demanding game but this is the only one I happen to have right now.

Could this be due to a limitation of Proton or Wine over hardware usage? Should I add any flag or configuration to Heroic? Is this a Distro Problem?

What more information could I log or get to check what the problem could be?

So i have been playing Mechabellum, and it should not be a very demanding game, but i have been getting abysmal performance. FPS drops to <10. I am on Fedora KDE with RPM steam and tried multiple Proton versions.

Is anyone here playing it, and have you experienced any issues? Any ideas how to fix it?

hey, is there an alternative to steam gaming mode, a desktop environment that can be used with the controller and which can offer an overlay?

I want to know how to update the sober (roblox) apk

Me trying to add my mounted drive to Steam

I been trying to add, my already mounted on the media folder, Hard Drive to steam so i can free up some space in my sdd but im falling miserably and i cant figure out the reason for that. Any advice is welcome and appreciated.

Hello, I recently pre-ordered Age of Mythology Retold, but I'm unable to play it. Every time I open the game, a message pops up saying:

'Unknown GPU Vendor The game is attempting to launch on an unknown GPU vendor, this game has not been tested on this GPU and may not be playable

VendorID: 0
DeviceID: 0'

If I proceed anyway, it opens to a black screen and simply freezes my computer, forcing me to shut it down. I've tried all the 'Protons' available on Steam, but nothing changes. Is there any way to fix this?
