Hey, so earlier I was playing the PRAGMATA demo using ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 so that I could play in HDR, but it caused my mouse to no longer being captured by the game, meaning that trying to aim right would actually move my cursor to my 2nd screen (which is on the right).

This obviously makes games completely unplayable with KB+M. Surely this can't just be how it is, so I must be doing something wrong. Could somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

I should mention, I'm using EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma and an Nvidia 4070Ti Super with the latest drivers (580.105.08)

I heard Hogwarts Legacy (steam) pretty much runs perfectly on linux using proton, but what about Epic Games? The game is currently free on Epic Games, and was wondering how the preformance was before I consinder installing Heroic Launcher.

I'm on arch kde

and I have done every single thing to try getting this shit to work. But I failed and there is a lot of shit installed on my arch install that I don't know how to get rid of.

both DISABLE_LSFG=1 vkcube

and vkcube run at the same speed

Someone please help me.

The first time it started but after I did alt F4 I isnt working anymore I have an error in the logs that says error starting a shared library libxrandr so 2. What can I do? I bought the game on gog

Hi, hi! So, my PC uses Linux, and I've been interested in downloading and playing Subnautica. Knowing how Linux works though, I've realised it may be a challenge. I'm new to the whole Linux thing but I know that wine can be a little iffy sometimes. So, is there anyone who plays Subnautica on their Linux device that could lmk how they did it?

Also, I don't currently have my PC with me as I'm on holiday, so I might not be able to answer some questions. And I kinda sorta don't know much about my device as I'm new to having a PC and not running Windows, and my dad has mostly guided me through everything so far. 😅

just switched to linux (fedora) and in windows i had a profile setup on DSX with a ton of shortcuts for me to control my pc from bed. for example, i pressed select + start to change from my ps4 profile to my tv profile, the entire controller would have new mappings for me to use and i could switch back if i opened a game or something. i tried input-remapper but its rather clunky and i cant start and stop it at will with a shortcut afaik.

i know this is probably a long shot for this specific use case but i thought it’d be worth it to give it a try

So yesterday I had an issue with my 8bitdo ultimate 2 and messed with drivers to maybe fix it. For some reason it gets detected as two different controllers connected at the same time. The first issue got fixed with a kernel update but now it still shows 2 controllers. If I go to a gamepad tester and connect it, it shows 8bitdo ultimate 2 and it shows a second controller called Microsoft xbox 360 controller. I have no other controller connected to my PC. The issue only appears on xinput but dinput resets every time I shut down my PC and the controller gets disconnected.

So I boldly challenged to 30 days of linux only on our main pcs. I plan to install bazzite since it seems to be the most popular gaming focused OS right now, but I have very limited linix experience. I stopped using Ubuntu because gnome would crash constantly and it became kinda unusable and I didn't feel like fixing it. Any advice on distro choice and set up would be super helpful!

Edit for specs if its relevant for drivers at all i9 14900kf, 4080 super, 32gb RAM, 1tb will be allocated for linux for now

Going to and early next year. Wanna make sure I know what I gotta do when I do. Any chance it's as simple as making sure the latest kernel and mesa my distro can use is installed and just plopping the amd card in?

Hi! I got Hogwarts Legacy today (Heroic Games Launcher) and the game refuses to open! I get a black screen for minutes, until I get an error: "app stopped working". I've already tried the proton db recommended launch settings:

but it didn't work. Tried switching the proton version from 10.25GE to 9.0.4 and nothing changed.

My specs:

Linux Mint 22.2

Ryzen 3 3200G

GTX 1080 TI

Proton 10.25GE

Nvidia Driver 570

Hey, so I just found something, that seems kinda weird.

Im using Debian and have symlinked my /home/user/Picures to another folder for syncing purposes.

When trying to open steam flatpak i get thi error:

bwrap: Can't make symlink at /home/max/Pictures: destination exists and is not a symlink

When I delete my symlink it start to work again.

Has anyone experienced this? It feels pretty weird.

I know i should propably use the native steam version but I wanted to try the flatpak version to see how it works :)

So if noone knows how to fix this ill just install the native version.

Backstory: I've been (very) slowly going through the process of setting up Linux and solving PC problems since I had Windows 11 corrupt about 3-4wks ago. We already confirmed that the bugged security updates cause it (I'm also cursed when it comes to my own tech, but I can usually fix other people's problems). The drives are still working, I managed to solve the last of the IT issues, and, as of me writing this, everything seems to be fully functioning without issue.

My question/problem: I am still trying to sort out the best GPU settings and distro for gaming and streaming on Linux. When I'm just watching YT or browsing online or using Discord, my CPU and GPU are barely used. However, when gaming, it looks like my dedicated GPU is being used more than it was on Windows. It was before while my CPU use stays fairly low. I tried doing a simple stream in OBS while just having Wonderspace Pomodoro up on my browser and I was at 100% GPU usage, 53% rendering lag, and it looked like nothing was encoding/decoding in Mission Center. Games like Dreamlight Valley and Coral Island are (for the most part) running smoother than before but my dedicated GPU is running 20% higher.

I started off with Linux Mint start from Windows 11 after essentially having no guidance on distros. I did end up having to do a clean reinstall of Mint because some Windows residual stuff had latched into my SSD (it was the system drive on Windows). That went away after the clean install so I'm good there. But the GPU issue I couldn't get rid of and OBS shot my dedicated GPU through the roof when using a plugin that had worked seemlessly on Windows.

So, (very) late last night, I decided to swap to Bazzite. My overall CPU and GPU usage appear to be the same as on Mint (nice and low), I'm increasingly liking the look of it, and it's opening everything relatively quickly. But something now feels a little sluggish? I had other redditors recommend CatchyOS or Nobara, but I still feel lost. I'm also really tired from how long I've been working on this. Any recommendations for boosting the GPU back to what it was, and/or on Linux distros and settings, would be greatly appreciated.

CPU: Ryzen 7 5700 G

DEDICATED GPU: RX 5700 XT

INTEGRATED GPU: (currently disabled)

MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte B550-UC-AD-Y1

RAM: 48GB

When downloading games on steam, the download speed will go up to my maximum of 500 mbps (around 65 MB/s) for a brief second then immidiately drop to 0. This is weird considering that if I limit the download speed within steam to around 350 mbps the download speed will remain rock solid. I read that it could be an issue with the drive if it is getting overwhelmed but this can't be the case since I am using a samsung 980 pro ssd. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. (I spun up a windows vm and there was no issue there, its just on linux)
