Serverless App to Transform GitHub Releases into APT and RPM Package Repos

4 Jan 2026 - 10:12pm

There are so many great Linux softwares (like the amazing Heroic Launcher!) that are distributed exclusively by putting .deb and/or .rpm files into Github Releases, which means I have to "Watch" for new releases and manually download/install. I made this for myself to make it easy to add these projects to my package manager. Thoughts and feedback welcome!

"Sober" Wrapper For Roblox Crashing [Arch]

4 Jan 2026 - 9:44pm

Sober opens fine, but whenever I join a game it freezes up and GNOME says the application is not responding and asks if I want to terminate it. How to fix?

Arc Raiders capped at 60hz on a 240hz monitor

4 Jan 2026 - 9:28pm

I'm experiencing a refresh rate issue with Arc Raiders on Linux. The game is getting 130 FPS according to MangoHUD, but it feels extremely laggy as if it's locked to 60Hz instead of utilizing my monitor's 240Hz refresh rate. The 240Hz works perfectly fine on the desktop, in browsers, and other applications.

System Information:

Kernel: 6.18.3-2-cachyos

Desktop: KDE Plasma

Laptop: Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 (2024)

14-core (6-mt/8-st) model: 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13650HX bits: 64

NVIDIA AD107M [GeForce RTX 4060 Max-Q / Mobile]

driver: nvidia v: 590.48.01 arch: Lovelace pcie: speed: 2.5 GT/s lanes: 8

ports: active: DP-3

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) Graphics (RPL-S)

Session type: wayland

Game Information:

Launch Options: prime-run game-performance mangohud %command%

Borderless Fullscreen

VSync OFF

Nvidia DLSS CNN (have tried others such as TAA though)

What I have tried:

Switched to X11 session - Game became stuck on loading screen and wouldn't launch

Verified desktop refresh rate - 240Hz works correctly outside the game

I can provide logs if needed - what's the best way to capture relevant output for this type of issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

HDR on Arch + KDE + Nvidia + LG OLED

4 Jan 2026 - 9:17pm

Hi friends, I'm having a bear of a time getting HDR working correctly on my current stack. I'm hoping somebody can help point me in the right direction.

Display: LG OLED B5 55" , 2.1 HDMI GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Drivers: nvidia-open-dkms 590.48.01-1 OS: Arch, running 6.18.3-arch1-1 DE: KDE Plasma with HDR turned on in Display Settings

So here's the issue I'm having: when I enable HDR in certain titles (Cyberpunk 2077, Armored Core 6), the colors are completely washed out. I've played with all sorts of settings on the TV/Display and I can't find any combination that actually works. This is true with both scRGB and PQ on CP77; they both look awful (though in different ways). It's not a simple calibration issue as far as I can tell.

I've scoured various forums and YouTube looking to see if anybody with a similar stack had similar issues and have came up empty handed. If there's any more information I can supply or if pictures are needed to help diagnose, please let me know and I can supply. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

(Another oddity: when I use Steam command line flag PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, my Gamepad input no longer works. Anybody else experience this?)

TLOU1 DualSense issue ($10 bounty)

4 Jan 2026 - 8:31pm

Hello,

not sure if this breaks any rules, but I'll send $10 of a crypto of your choice to whomever helps me fix this issue:

I'm using a dualsense controller to play TLOU part 1 on CachyOS (using cachyos-proton). I cannot get the vibration to work for the life of me. The adaptive triggers do work when it's plugged in (I have been trying to fix this primarily while it's plugged in, not over bluetooth)

I have tried: - disabling steam input - cachyos-proton, proton-GE, proton-tkg - setting wireplumber rule to rename it to "Wireless Controller" as some posts suggest - adding udev rules for hidraw (my understanding is that these already come configured correctly with steam, but worth a try) - going into regedit for the prefix and adding HidrawDisable=0

any help is appreciated!

No se ejecuta ningun juego desde Steam

4 Jan 2026 - 8:15pm

Quiero empezar a jugar en linux usando steam y proton pero para mi sorpresa ningun juego de windows se ejecuta. Desde steam le doy al boton de "jugar" y luego de aceptar los "terminos" sale una ventana de vulkan con una carga que al llegar al 100% desaparece y luego no pasa nada, el boton pasa de "detener" a decir "jugar" nuevamente, no sale ninguna ventana de error, tampoco se registra ningun error en los logs que he revisado.

Mi harware:

Placa: Gigabyte A620M GAMING X

Procesador: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core Processor

Sistema operativo y cliente:

- Linux Mint 22.1 (64 bits)
- Nombre de kernel: Linux
- Versión de kernel: 6.8.0-90-generic
- Editor de X Server: The X.Org Foundation
- Versión de X Server: 12101011
- Gestor X Window: Mutter (Muffin)
- Versión del runtime de Steam: steam-runtime_1.0.20251202.187498

Tarjeta gráfica:

- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
- Versión del controlador: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 580.119.02

Ram: 32Gb Corasair vengeance

Lista de juegos que he probado:

- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
- Horizon
- Sky: children of the light
- A plague tale requiem
- Outer wilds
- Tomb raider
- SIlksong

NOTA 1: Todos estos juegos estan descargados en un disco SSD que tengo aparte solo para juegos, desde steam tengo configurado el almacenamiento.

NOTA 2: El unico juego que se ejecuta correctamente es Silksong, pero creo que es porque salio nativo para linux, esto no me queda claro.

A continuacion listo todas las cosas que he probado:

- Cambiar de diferente version de drivers NVIDIA.

- Instalar ultima version de driver publicada en la web de NVIDIA manualmente.

- Cambiar de version distro, de Linux Mint 22.2 (zara) a Mint 22.1 (xia), pues vi en protondb que muchos tenian Mint Xia con la misma grafica que yo y les funcionaba todo sin problema.

- Probar otra distro completamente distinta, orientada a juegos y con otro nucleo: Bazzite.

- Probar todas las versiones oficiales de proton posibles, experimental, hotfix, versiones desde la 4 hasta la ultima estable 10.

- Probar versiones no oficiales (creo) de proton usando ProtonUp-QT.

- Colocar diferentes comandos en el configurador de lanzamiento de steam (comandos recomendados desde protondb).

- Probar lanzador de juegos diferente: Heroic Games Launcher.

Siento que estoy perdiendo mi tiempo al escribir esto, que todo es una tonteria mal configurada, o que directamente mi hardware no funciona para ejecutar juegos emulados, no soy de los que escriben en foros preguntando, al contrario soy de los que responden y ayudan.

Ahora estoy de este lado pidiendo algo de orientacion, no se que estoy haciendo mal y ya estoy desesperado y algo desepcionado de linux, pues no es la primera vez que me tengo que regresar a windows porque algo no funciona.

Switched to Pop OS. Reinstall All Steam Games?

4 Jan 2026 - 7:46pm

Hello! I just switched to Pop OS today and so far it's been great.

However I am not able to run any Steam games.

So what I did was my games are in a separate drive from the OS. Steam is in my OS NVME drive which the Steam games are on an existing directory in another drive and I had my Steam on Pop OS read that directory. It did read the game files however the games are not running.

Is it a good idea to uninstall and reinstall these games so it'll install as something readable by Linux? The games were installed via Steam on WIndows. Thank you!

Lego Star Wars on Mint and Steam

4 Jan 2026 - 7:06pm

I'm getting almost everything I want to play to work through Steam on my Mint build. Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga however doesn't seem to work. No errors and it does something when I hit play but just stops about 7 seconds after I hit the play button, I've tried most Proton versions but it just refuses to work. Any one else get this game to work in Linux?
