Where do you use sunshine?

12 Sep 2025 - 9:04am

Hi, Sunshine really does not work with CachyOS + Cosmic (clearly my fault, I'm using alpha software, not here to ask for help), or at least I couldn't make it work.

I'm looking for the right combination of distro + DE to run it.

If you use it, could you please share in a comment your setup?

Thank you very much.

PS: My pc:

  • CPU: 13400F
  • GPU: RX 9060 XT
  • RAM: 32GB DDR4
  • Monitor 1: 144Hz freesync
  • Monitor 2: 60Hz

Why does my controller not find my PC automatically?

12 Sep 2025 - 7:04am

I use an 8bitdo ultimate bluetooth controller, and when i turn it on, it searches for the last used device (my laotop) but doesnt find it and is unable to be paired unless i press the little button to pair, then press connect in my bluetooth settings every time. Is there a reason why this is the case, while my bluetooth headphones are able to connect to my computer whenever they are turned on?

I am using Endeavor os if that makes a difference

How do you guys organize your games? Looking for advice on my current method

12 Sep 2025 - 6:41am

Hi. After switching to Linux I got into the habit of storing and organizing a proper game library, buying more stuff on GOG (rather than Steam) and always trying to keep ALMOST "ready to play" for whenever I need them.

Right now here's my system:

For steam games, they are located on the SteamLibrary folder, as it seems to be impossible to change that. Not much to do here besides some simple notes:

1- Whenever the game features mods and I need to run a specific launch parameter, I attach a .txt file to the game folder with clear instructions for future me.

2- I also always install nocd fixes for games that require third party launchers (aka Ubisoft).

Now, for Lutris games (whatever game not on steam, even emulators)... here comes the fun part.

First, I make the game work through lutris. This might require more or less steps depending on the game. Sometimes we need specific DLL overrides, other times we need to install a ton of programs with wineprefix (looking at you No One Lives Forever) and ocasionally, we don't have much to do. Here are some notes:

1- I always set the wineprefix folder of the specific to the root game folder. (E.G: for "Mirror's Edge" my wineprefix folder is on Mirror's Edge/wineprefix. This way, I can reutilize this existing folder on another PC
(hopefully).

2-Same as steam, whenever a game needs special attention, I create a .txt file with clear instructions for future me on its install folder.

Some might suggest me retroarch, but the problem is I already think its sort of a hassle having to manage 2 entirely different gaming libraries (steam and lutris), that's why I always add emulator games through Lutris itself.

Still, I am aware this needs LOTS of improvements, and that's why I'm here. What are your thoughts? What am I missing and how would you improve this system?

Do games running on proton look significantly worst?

12 Sep 2025 - 6:41am

Just got Arch up and running using GNOME/Wayland. I have a GTX 3070 and I went with nvidia-open drivers as suggested by the arch wiki. I'm generally thoroughly enjoying the desktop experience and it's not my first time using linux. What I did notice while playing night reign is the graphics look noticeably worst while playing via proton. Is this just how it is? Are there any tips to get some of that fidelity back?
