I want to get back into sim racing and I'm looking for a new wheel. I used to do a lot of simracing on Windows with my old G27, but the FFB motors on that are busted and I decided to just get a new wheel. I can get a decent deal on G29 Driving Force (here). Does anyone have experience with this wheel on Linux? Does it work well? Would I need to do any tinkering to get it working? I'd like to use the shifter too, but it's not a must if it's problematic.

I used to play a lot of Assetto Corsa (which I see on ProtonDB that should work well) + I'd like to use it for Euro/American truck too (which I already play with a controller, so I know that there's no problem there). I'd also like to try AC Competizione, that one wasn't out in my simracing days yet.

I'm using Manjaro with kernel 6.17.8, in case it's important.

Any info or experience is appreciated, thanks.

Hello everyone! My project is a local server-based anti-cheat system for Linux. It's completely free software. If you want it for Windows, you can convert it to an .exe yourself with Pyinstaller. I didn't do this because Pyinstaller doesn't produce Windows .exes in the Linux environment. That's why it's only available for Linux. Here's my project's GitHub page:Hello everyone!

What would you recommend for gaming on Linux? I'm currently experiencing some issues with this. Firstly, my Steam client loads, but does not open at all if I launch it through a shortcut; it only launches normally through the console. Secondly, every time the system starts, Steam "forgets the disks" on which the games were installed, and I have to select them again. Thirdly, I am very concerned about the pre-caching of shaders, it takes a long time and loads my processor to critical temperatures. I use Proton Experimental for four and I am running into some issues: A couple of times when launching games I got a crash that forced me to reboot the system, and also during some games the load distribution is very strange - the video card is always loaded to the limit, and I need to somehow learn to limit it, but when I made the frame rate limitation through the launch parameters with the command DXVK_FRAME_RATE=75 %command% This limited my frame rate, but did not reduce the load on the PC, and after a couple of days this launch option stopped working altogether. I currently have Ubuntu and I'm planning to switch to Arch. Please help

Hello,

When I open steam, the window to load the user data pops up, disappears, and then the main Steam page never pops up. When viewing my applications (windows key), I see it pop up briefly as an invisible window, close, and open again, repeating the process forever.

When I run it from the terminal, it opens, but games won't launch. Everytime I click play, it starts launching, and then stops and the play button appears again.

It seems my issue is identical to https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/1577jej/steam_games_refusing_to_launch/, however, there is not a solution on there for me that has worked.

I'm not entirely sure what I've tried at this point, I've done so many things that my brain's getting foggy. I installed my GPU drivers when I installed Ubuntu (from AMD's website), I'm not sure if they're working or not, but I can't find a clear answer on how to see if those are causing my issues.

I've also been having consistent issues with installing dependencies, for example when trying sudo apt install steam it would tell me that I had missing dependencies, so I installed them, yet it claimed that they're still missing. I had to go and download the deb file for one of them to get it to work. I can't find a clear reason why this is happening either.

Dear all

Apologies if this is not the correct place for this question.

I have Linux/Windows dual boot on my laptop, and I am considering to try Linux on my Windows desktop as well because I am frequently unhappy with Windows. I'd like to try and dual boot on this system as well, temporarily, and perhaps move to Linux permanently if everything works as I want.

My PC has a small windows SSD, a storage SSD and a HDD all used by Windows now. I was thinking it'd be easiest to use the many deals now to buy an M.2 SSD since my motherboard Gigabyte B550M DS3H has two unused slots now and install a Linux distribution on that.

I am a beginner in Linux and I'd like advice on three matters.

1) I checked the Gigabyte manual and found WD Black SN770 a good compatible M.2 SSD. I had thought of going for a 1GB or 2GB drive, for the whole Linux system as it were, but I have read that people recommend installing the Linux distro on a different drive from the storage drive. This would complicate matters for me as 1) I'd like to keep the other Windows drives as is for now and 2) I don't understand if my CPU 5600X has enough PCI lanes to support two M.2 drives, the GPU etc. Is it really necessary to separate the Linux OS installation from the storage?

2) My plan would be to install the M.2 drive in the motherboard, check if it is recognized by the BIOS and then install a Linux distro through USB on that new drive. Is that the correct procedure to achieve dual boot? I have read people recommend to 'disconnect' other drives and the like during the installation of a new OS, because of OS 'partitions' and the like. What are good practices for installing Linux in a dual boot setting when Windows already occupies other drives?

3) A small thing. For the BF6 beta I went through the procedure of enabling 'secure' boot. The beta didn't convince me and I have no intention of playing that game. I suppose I should disable this again before I start this procedure?

Thank you very much for your advice.

I am VERY new to linux (I installed linux on a small ssd because I was curious, big fan of the OS already) and I was wondering if it would be wise to partition my main ssd so it’s half and half with windows and linux. I mainly use my pc for gaming, so I don’t know if it would be worth the trouble or not. Not only that, but if it would be wise, I don’t know how to do it. Can anyone help me out here?

so piper exists as a way for people to rebind things with their mouse on linux

issue: piper has a limited support list https://github.com/libratbag/libratbag/tree/master/data/devices

Black friday is coming up. I was wondering if anyone had any linux mice suggestions for under 40 bucks?

(I considered looking at things like Ali Express for things like Logitech G102/G304Bluetooth. Issue is when I looked at the reviews. "Fake g304 obviously, cannot create custom dpi settings. Which is perfect, this is what i wanted, thank you so much! I love this fake mouse! I will cherish it!". So I am not sure that will work with Piper XD)

any suggestions?

I tried to use input remapper.. I am just as dumb as a bag of rocks thats why I am looking for a mouse that can be supported by piper so I can rebound my keys properly for ondemand multi clicks and rebinds

Since installing the latest update, Steam fails to launch. I'm using CachyOS. Steam seems to hang while trying to launch and eventually shows the crash recovery window.

If I check stop I can see that steam has initiated two localedef processes that are each consuming 100% of a CPU core. These can only be killed after killing all other steam processes.

I can't really find much information about localedef, other than it is used to set charset encoding. My system locale is set to en-GB.

Hi guys.
I'm on Arch with Hyprland and RTX 4070Ti.

Gonna finally switch to OLED screen soon. It's gonna be ASUS XG27UCDMG, which is a 27 inch 4K QD-OLED, and has HDMI 2.1, Display Port 1.4, and runs at 240 Hz. Obviously it uses DSC at 240 Hz, but it can also work without DSC at 120 Hz. I'm gonna use it with DSC at 240 Hz on my Arch with Hyprland.

I know that some Windows users say that generally everything is cool with such monitors, but there's a caveat with the screen turning black when, for example, you're alt-tabbing from a full-screen game to desktop. There are a few other minor things, but I don't care about them.

So I thought it'd be better to ask here about QD-OLED screens and Linux.
Do they work well together on Arch with Hyprland? Does QD-OLED's triangular pixel shape cause any trouble? Any scaling issues?
And what about Hyprland specifically? It has workspaces, and you can switch between them quickly. Will the screen go black for a few seconds when you move focus from a workspace with a full-screen game on it to another workspace?
Any other known issues?

Would appreciate everyone's feedback 👍
