Can't use shift commands and caps lock on nested gamescope sessions.

5 Dec 2025 - 12:48pm

Hi. I'm looking to play CS2 on gamescope at openSUSE tumbleweed (KDE wayland), however I have this issue where I cannot input any shift + commands as well as turning on/off caps lock.

The issue seems to be with gamescope because if I run any software nested under gamescope I cannot use shift commands / caps lock. Running CS2 without gamescope lets me input shift + commands / caps lock as normal.

Running Steam Native + Latest Gamescope from SUSE repo

Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Which AMD GPU (used) to replace a Nvidia GTX 1070?

5 Dec 2025 - 12:13pm

I initially planned to build a new PC (parts are now around 8 years old) but to be honest I'm not really unhappy with it. I barely play games anyway. Then the current RAM and SSD price explosion happened which makes me even more unsure if it is the right time to build a new PC.

Currently I have a Nvidia GTX 1070 GPU. It always worked "OK" but with minor driver issues every now and then. Now as Gnome dropped X11 support, I was forced to switch to Wayland with this GPU and I'm not perfectly happy with the experience. Now, as Nvidia announced to stop supporting my GPU in future driver updates, I also don't think outstanding Wayland bugs will be fixed anymore.

I definitively will not put a new GPU in this system. Probably it won't even work as it is not possible to use "Resizable Bar" on my system. So what I'm looking for is a GPU which is similar in age compared to my GTX 1070 but does not enforce or significantly gain performance from Resizable Bar.

I would be OK with roughly the same performance. If it does not get significantly more expensive, then a minor improvement would also be OK.

Ditched Unity for Godot 4.5, and I'm developing entirely on Linux. Here is the result after 5 months.

My game blends Roguelike Deckbuilding with Hex-Grid City Building. Think Dorfromantik but with the synergy-hunting addiction of Balatro.

Linux (Bazzite), secure boot and NTFS

5 Dec 2025 - 11:57am

Hello!

For the past 30 or so years I've been diddling a little with linux every now and then. Read books, tried distros, pulled my hair out, went back to windows.

It's been 5-6 years since I last gave it an honest try, and these days you read so much about linux being on par or better than windows when it comes to performance. I don't care so much about what OS I use, but I hate leaving untapped performance on the sidelines, so I've decided to give it another honest try.

Read around, did some research and decided to try Bazzite because it's supposed to support nvidia in a good way with secure boot enabled.

However, reading through the Bazzite documentation, and watching their dual boot video, it seems to me that one still needs to disable secure boot?

And even if I do overcome that issue, it's the whole thing with NTFS. The last time I tried Linux, I could use my NTFS drives, but since gaming was so abysmal I never actually tried to play any of my steam games.

Reading through a lot of forum posts, it seems that the proton layer uses symlinks that can make the disk unreadable in windows, and sometimes not even fixable with disk repair tools. I cannot find a way to have a true dual boot system.

So my questions are these: How will secure boot work with Bazzite? Is it possible to have a true dual boot system where both OS can access the same files without breaking something for the other?

I have a spare 18TB drive, so I could technically mirror all my games, but that would be a slow HDD, and then there's the issue of save games..

Switching from Nvidia to AMD GPU results in lower performance

5 Dec 2025 - 11:43am

Hello, recently I've switched my good old GTX 1080 to an RX 7800 XT. I've expected some FPS boost in titles like CS2, but I'm getting worse performance. I've removed everything related to Nvidia and all tweaks. Tried a newer kernel, messed with settings, profiles, etc.

What can cause the issue?

Adding more ssd's

5 Dec 2025 - 9:37am

Hello there.

I managed to scrape some parts and built another gaming rig for fun. ( and maybe so friends can enjoy and experience the joy of Linux gaming while hanging out at my place )

I got some spare ssd's and I was planning to put as much as follows

1TB nvme for root, boot and swap.

2TB nvme for /home

then i got 3 x 2TB sata ssd's and I want to put them into use too.

So what would be good practice to utilize them?

Mount to /home/user/{folder name of my choosing like steam, epic etc}
or mount them at /mnt/{folder name of my choosing}

I got games at steam, epic and gog and some standalone stuff.

Upgrading ram in AMD BC-250

5 Dec 2025 - 7:55am

I just got a Bc-250 on EBay, from my preliminary research, it seems the system would be bottlenecked from the shared 16gb of DDR6 memory. Would it be possible to add standard DDR4 memory for just the CPU, or upgrade this eventually, and would it improve anything/is it actually bottlenecked by the 16gb

The cursor of my mouse jumps from the primary monitor to the secondary one while I’m playing

5 Dec 2025 - 6:57am

I’m having a somewhat strange issue. While playing Halo MCC and Helldivers 2 (this hasn’t happened to me in other games, although I haven’t tested that many), the mouse cursor moves to the second monitor even though the games are in full screen.

What I’ve noticed is that if I’m only moving the camera, the cursor stays confined to the primary monitor, but when I click several times in a row while turning the camera to the left (I assume the same would happen if my secondary monitor were on the right and I turned to the right), that’s when the cursor jumps to the other monitor, as shown in the video.

I’ve tried running the game in full screen, borderless window, and windowed mode, but it still happens, at least in those two games. My primary monitor is 1440p@165Hz and the secondary one is 1080p@75Hz. I’m on Ubuntu 25.10, although it also happened on 25.04. If you need more details, I’ll gladly share them. Any suggestions are welcome.

As an early thank-you, here’s my Ultra Hyper Masculine Whitegirls Playlist for Rankets: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2ZOn1R9rnyACtiac8RDEqW?si=8b04abf57638473a

Valve & HDMI 2.1

Interested to see what Valve does. Even hoping they release their own DP-HDMI adapter to help support full parity of 2.1 would be great.
