So on Windows i use Amd drenaline to record gameplay and it works well for that.

What is an easy alternative for capturing gameplay on linux (Im on bazzite)

People do not seem to get that the NTFS file system is closed source and the ntfs linux driver is reverse engineered.

You want to mount it for a moment and copy some files? fine

But dont use it to hold your games or for prolonged file usage it WILL lead to file corruption at some point.

Also lastly and most importantly you are wasting the limited time of people that want to help you resolve your problems for free because they will try to provide tech support to for an hour only to find out you are not following the most basic rule.

Please don't use NTFS drives under linux.

So I see a lot of discussions how great it is on a steam deck and how a SteamDeck can replace your desktop computer in certain situations, but how good is SteamOS on a regular machine using the desktop mode (not the Steam Big Picture Mode)? Im really curious about this and hope this great community can help me to understand it even more beyond the videos I already saw.

I use my computer (Ryzen 7 5800X3D, AMD 6900XT) only for gaming, mainly on Steam, BattleNet (for WoW), sometimes GoG for older games, Discord as a communication tool and Firefox for browsing. Thats it. No office, no editing, no capturing, just single- and multiplayer gaming. I also know how to use the command line and have some expierence with computers, so I'm not going in as a total noob (but still a noob though) :)

A couple of questions would be:

• How easy do I update my graphic drivers and is there a view where I can review the current drivers, see new ones... etc? Right now I'm using Adrenaline for that.
• How do I add and install on different drives. Currently my Setup has four drives (one smaller one for the OS, one fast NVME for current games, and two smaller SSD's from my old pc for other games that I also use)
• and do I need to erase those drives with the installed games, or can I just add them somehow after I installed and let Steam decide what ito do with the games (there are only Steam games installed and Battlenet with WoW)

Really hope this does not breake any rules. I did a fair share of research and already tried Mint and Bazzite, but was not fully satisfied with the expierence, so I thought I'm asking about SteamOS before I try this also again.

Thanks in advance!

Go to Steam > Settings > Interface and Disable "Enable GPU accelerated".

Last time i checked sober was close source. I dont know if i can trust it with my account and trust weather its malware or not

Hello, I’ve just installed CachyOS on my Rog Ally Z1e and couldn’t be more pleased. It runs nice, games are working better, sleep/wake is amazing, but one thing bothers me a little bit. I’m not able to control my fans and they are spinning quite often. It’s not a big deal but on windows Armory Crate was able to apply custom curves. I’ve tried CoolerControl which looks great but it does not show any channel under Controls. Os there any way to do it on the CachyOS?

When running via proton, it shows the EA badge. Then like a minute later (which is too long it only takes 2 seconds in Windows), the actual FIFA 15 opens. It gets past the loading animation into the language select. There, the flag waves a few times and it freezes. Pressing the input to select the language before it freezes does nothing. I tried Proton 7, 8, 9, 10 and Experimental and I tried GE-Proton too. I also tried installing Media Foundation via protontricks. FIFA 16, though, runs perfectly fine. I'm on a Steam Deck OLED and everything is fully updated. Any help?

Hi,

need community help. I succesfully added to Steam and running Need for Speed Underground 2, Carbon, Underground, Most Wanted Vanilla edition, but i have problems with Need for Speed HD edition. These works with Proton Experimental.

It works on Windows, it works on Android over Gamehub or Winlator, but it not starting on Steam.

Tried different Proton versions, tried couple launch options:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8,d3dx9_26,d3dx9_43=n,b" %command%

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%

But it works with Proton 7.0.6 but withour launch option, and offcourse no mods then launching.

Can someone help what i`m missing?

Hey folks. I like to play games at 90fps. But I am facing some problems.

I have an RTX 5080, running CachyOS. Screen is a 4K display set at 165hz refresh rate

Here's what happens:

• In Desktop, if I cap the fps to 90fps in Goverlay, the game stutters and has massive frame time jumps.
• In Desktop, if I cap the fps to 120fps in Goverlay, the game is buttery smooth
• If I launch Gamescope (SteamOS UI), and cap the game to 90fps using the QAM, it's buttery smooth.

I have tried the gamescope r-90 launch option but it produces the same stuttery result.

I am perplexed why this happens. It works fine in Windows.

Any idea how I can do this?

I just started the game (installed via heroic with DW proton) and the performance is very poor. I get around 15FPS on all low and very low settings, which doesn't feel nice to play at all.

The hardware: i7 6th gen, 32GB DDR4 2133.

(maybe I should figure out wether I'm using iGPU or dGPU)

I know that the hardware is about 10 years old by now, but if the game is playable on mobile, why not on older/weaker hardware?

Recently I installed the game Heartopia through Steam on Linux Mint, but during cutscenes there’s a visual bug that looks like TV static. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Using PPSSPP and ZeroTier, I can't play Monster Hunter Portable 3rd Edition with my friends. I'm on Arch Linux using the native version of the emulator, and they're on Windows. We configured the IP address and everything else required, but when I enter in a lobby, nobody shows up, and I don't show up for them either, even though their messages appear in the emulator's chat.
