I'm sorry if my post is messy

I'm tired of Corsair, the software i use to control it is unstable, does not always work or prohibits my computer in shutting down.

My current mouse is the Corsair dark core pro.
I figured i'd go G502X Plus for the mouse, as it works well on linux from what i hear (please correct me if i'm wrong here)

My current keyboard is the Corsair K70, while i like the keyboard, i loathe the software again, its the same software my mouse uses.

People suggested the Wooting Two HE, which fits me perfectly, except there is no volume dial or multimedia buttons.
Which i really use, why ? becuase it's easier and faster to just dial a knob or press mute even if i am in a fullscreen application.

While the Wooting Two HE is perfect as a keyboard, i need a volume dial with at least a mute button, i would'nt mind, stop play, previous and next on it, but it's not exactly a requirement.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a volume dial with at least a mute button that looks decent ? (prefered black as it fits my astetics)

Im just a regular minecraft player pvper so i need a distro work fine with java and ryzen 5 500g and gtx1660ti and best network management and safety (secure system)

Tired of intrusive kernel-level anti-cheat software and the endless "arms race" with cheaters? I have a concept for a new anti-cheat system that focuses on player reputation rather than technical detection. The goal is to make cheating so costly and inconvenient that cheaters are isolated from the main player base.

The idea is a "Trust Score" system tied to a game and its platform (e.g., Steam). Here's how it would work:

• Your Trust Score starts low on a new account.
• You gain trust points by linking and verifying your digital footprint.
• Essential: A simple "yes/no" verification from a platform like Steam that an active, non-fraudulent payment method (like a credit card or PayPal) is linked to the account. This doesn't share any financial data, just confirms legitimacy.
• Bonus Points: Earn additional points by linking other long-standing online accounts like your Gmail, Twitch, YouTube, or Uplay. The more accounts you link, and the more games you own, the higher your score.

• Cheating would be the only action that negatively impacts your score.
• When a player reports you, the anti-cheat system weighs the report based on the reporter's own Trust Score. Reports from a high-trust player carry more weight.
• If you're caught cheating, your score plummets. You can submit evidence to dispute the flag, similar to a fine dispute.
• As a player, you would be able to see your own trust score, offering transparency and a sense of progress.

• New players and cheaters using "burner" accounts would have a low trust score. They would be matched with each other, creating a segregated environment for unsavory behavior.
• Legitimate players who invest time and money into their profile will have a high score, protecting them from cheaters.
• This system creates a significant hurdle for cheaters, as they would have to invest considerable time and potentially money to build a new high-trust account after each ban.

This approach bypasses the need for invasive kernel-level software, reduces false reports, and fundamentally changes the incentive structure of online cheating. What do you think? Would you be willing to link your accounts to protect the integrity of a game?

Hey guys, I've been trying to run Assassin Creed Oydssey for a while but I am not succesful Mirage runs prefectly on Heroic Launcher but not this, I tried to install Ubisoft Connect but it won't run... any ideas? anyone running it successfully?

I have a problem with the controller in the LINUX VERSION of the game ( CarX Street )

With steam input DISABLE the game detect the controller, the problem is that the steering joystick is too much sensible and is not really playable because any little movement do a huge turn with the car.

For fix that i ACTIVATE steam input and then... the game doesn't detect the controller anymore

Steam detect the controller perfectly, but the game doesn't.

Summary, in the LINUX VERSION of the game, steam input doesn't work

and that make the game unplayable for me.

steam input enable

steam input binded

also binded in the game ( automatically )

the PS4 controller through steam input look like \"Steam virtual Gamepad \"

The title says it, games on linux just run a lot worse than on windows despite evidence online saying it should be the other way round. Games are under utilizing the gpu and fps is very inconsistent.

I've tried two distros so far, Bazzite and CatchyOS.

Bazzite was absolutely dog shit. It ran rdr2 absolutely horribly no matter what proton version or command I typed into the terminal that people from the discord server were telling me to do which eventually led to them saying it was usererror so i just had enough and removed bazzite from my pc.

CatchyOS on the other hand actually ran quite a bit better but still was no where near as good as windows. It was inconsistent and the gpu wasn't being fully utilized.

I eventually just came back to windows but I really want to find an os that runs games well or at least as good as windows.

My pc specs are a 5 5600 and a rx 7700 xt with 32 gb ram.

Any suggestions?

recently fragpunk has been fixed on linux i moved back to windows since game wasnt working i seen today on protondb game works i went did test using mint which i know has outdated drivers and what not tested fragpunk without proton see if it ture it works without but some reason with my rx 6700xt and ryzen 5 5500gt the bulid in benchmark all settings set to medium expect i said textures to high i got only 490 compared to 523 windows 10 ltsc got then. i tried game the fps was same i got like 30 or 40 less i was getting near 300 ish like 280 but mint was only doing 250 maybe bit higher.

cachyos got in benchmark with same settings wasnt using proton again keep it same also used same DE mint uses even tho cachyos one looks different i got only 460 tried again with proton cachyos got 471 didnt even bother to do real match left it at warm up round before match why is cachyos getting less fps then mint

I understand that any distro can do gaming and be stable. But is Gentoo’s stable branch without using ~amd64 or manual unmasking viable for new games on modern hardware? Can I use Steam + Discord + Google Chrome + KDE with new drivers on stable branch?

I would like to have access to new drivers and apps but without fixing gradually rising dependency errors during updates when using testing branch. I can fix most of such errors but I don’t want them. Is it possible?

Hi,

I'm trying to get my VKB joysticks to run in E:D under Linux. I have deactivated "SDL" and "Map Controllers" in the registry, deleted the xinput and changed the individual devices to winehid and WINEBUS\WINE_COMP_HID.

as described at
https://www.reddit.com/user/xatrekak/comments/12hnz0d/fixing_vkb_and_virpil_hotas_running_on_linux/.

The individual joysticks are displayed under Steam, but E:D does not recognize a single one, not even an Xbox controller.

I use a fresh nobara installation, Steam and proton-GE (latest)

The joysticks work and I also had it running on a previous installation. What have I overlooked?

I'm having trouble setting WINEDLLOVERRIDE using lutris. I'm not sure if I have a misunderstanding of what lutris has the ability to set or if I'm just changing things in the wrong place.

To enable mods for one of my games, I'm told to set the following steam launch option: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw=n,b" %command% This works great if I just launch the game from steam. I can see the mod menu just fine.

In lutris, I would like to use the steam runner but nothing I'm trying is working. I've tried placing it under Game Options -> Arguments as "WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw=n,b" (and I've also tried including the %command% part to no avail). I've also tried the corresponding Launcher Options -> Arguments. Lastly I've tried to set it with System Options -> Environment Variables. Setting WINEDLLOVERRIDE as the key and ddraw=n,b as the value.

I've seen that using wine as the runner, I can configure the dll override directly. However, getting wine setup is giving me more issues and things launch nicely through steam with proton, so I would prefer not to switch runners. I can also set the option directly in steam and still launch the game from lutris with the command line option enabled.

Is there a correct way for me to set this launch option using the steam runner? Or, if that is that outside the scope of lutris, should I just be setting the launch option in steam directly?

I have a gaming laptop that is designed for Windows 11. • On Windows 11, I can’t run cracked games (even after disabling/removing Defender). • If I switch to Windows 10, performance and stability aren’t great since the hardware is optimized for 11.

Would switching to Arch Linux make sense for running games more freely? I know Linux gaming relies on Proton, Lutris, etc., but I’m not sure about performance and compatibility compared to Windows 11.

Any advice or real experience would help.

Hey everyone, I don't know if I should post this here or on the steamdeck subredit but, anyway, I’ve been struggling with my Steam Deck for a few days and could use some help.

I installed lsfg-vk through Decky and it works fantastic with my Steam games. The problem is that I also have some games from Epic Store/GOG that I’d love to play with lsfg-vk, but I can’t get it to work.

Here’s an example that’s giving me trouble: I’m playing Death Stranding (Epic version) installed via Heroic Launcher.

Heroic itself was installed from Discover (so I assume it’s the Flatpak).

I used Heroic’s option to add a shortcut for Death Stranding to Steam.

In Steam, I tried adding ~/lsfg-vk %command% in the launch options, but that didn’t work.

I found another tutorial that suggested adding environment variables directly in Heroic and giving the Flatpak permission to read my home folder. I tried that, but now in Desktop Mode the game launches in a window and the controller acts like a keyboard, and lsfg-vk still doesn't work.

I also tried a wrapper script through Heroic’s launch options, but no luck either.

So my question is: what’s the easiest way to make this work?

Should I install Heroic as an AppImage instead of Flatpak?

Should I just install the Epic Store directly through Steam instead?

Or is there a simpler method I’m missing?

I just want my Epic/GOG games to have the same smooth framerate boost with lsfg-vk that my Steam library already has.

Thanks in advance!

As topic says, is there any way to remove this blue title bar on top of the window?

Hi there! Recently, I started using Arch Linux, and I've installed Steam from pacman. I installed People Playground (using Proton Experimental), but the game won't start. On Steam, I press play, wait for the game to start, and then after 5 seconds with no window or error code at all, the game closes. I have tried in the past GE-Proton 9-27, and that didn't work either. Does anyone know how to solve this? I've tried both game version 1.27.5 (latest public release build) and 1.28 alpha 2 and neither work. If anybody wants any specs of my computer, here they are:

Computer: HP Pavillion p6-2310

CPU: AMD A4-3420

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6410D

RAM: (even though it's not really relevant) 8 GB DDR3

Recently decided to try out Strive, and generally the experience is good, except I've had 3 freezes happen now, and they've all been while looking in the command menu for various characters. If I had to guess, I would think it's related to the videos that play showcasing the various moves.

This is on:

Fedora KDE 42
4070 Super (575.64.05 driver version)
9800x3D
GE-Proton10-10 (Also tried Proton Hotfix)
