i wanted to create shortcuts to my non-steam games on my desktop but apparently just symlinking it doesn't work. i wrote a simple script that runs the game with bottles when u click on it and that's great and all, but i can't change the icon on it. for comparison, on a normal steam game, u can just right click on the shortcut, go into properties and change the icon however u want (as u can see on the left). any way i can do that for the script as well? thanks for reading

Does anyone off hand know where to find where Dolphin saves screenshots or where to find this in the settings?
I have found it before a couple times but it's always such an adventure I forget how I ended up there.
If there is any way to change where it saves them so it is in the home/pictures directory that would be awsome as well instead of digging through the file system.

As the title suggests, I have just made the move from Windows to Linux and I've been having trouble getting Linux to use me RX 7900XTX. The only game I have got to "work" is Minecraft (at 8 FPS), and using Mission Center I can see my CPU (Ryzen 7 5800X3D) pegged at 100% across all 16 processors, and my GPU at basically 0.

I then downloaded FurMark to see if I could get the benchmark to see the GPU, in the UI under "Vulkan GPUs" I see and have selected "AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (RADV NAVI31)" which looks promising, but again when I run the test, CPU is pegged to 100%, no GPU movement at all.

So far, I have installed the latest AMD driver (Radeon Software for Linux version 25.35 for Ubuntu 24.04.4 HWE, release date 2026-1-21) and I double checked my BIOS, there is no integrated graphics for this CPU from what I can tell.

I'm confused how my CPU is being used as a GPU without integrated graphics? Or I suppose there is a possibility that my GPU is being used and that my CPU is somehow the limiting factor in Minecraft and FurMark which I highly doubt.

Specs below. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated, I'm a bit of a noob at Linux so apologies if this is a dumb question, thanks.

OS: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core Processor

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

RAM: 32 GB 3600 MHz DDR4

Sup guys, first of all my english is horrible so im sorry if any mistake has been made.

So i thinking to change to linux about a year now, my PC is kinda laggy with w11 eating 20% of my RAM (16gb in total) and i dosnt fell in controll when i try to uninstall the fuckying edge and they dont let me, so i search and found about CachyOS and has been think to change to him, but its gonna be my first time using linux, its a good choice for someone who just use the computer to play cracked and legit games? i gonna have some sort of major trouble being a newbie in linux if i use cachy?

I’ve been working on a small personal project — a simple Minecraft launcher written in Python. I originally built it for myself because I wanted something lightweight and straightforward that doesn’t require a lot of setup.

Over time it grew into a usable tool with GUI/CLI, Forge/Fabric support and the ability to install mods and shaders from Modrinth. Now I’m curious if it’s useful for anyone else and would really appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

GitHub: https://github.com/IlyaP358/saturn_launcher.git

AUR (CLI): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/saturn-launcher

AUR (GUI): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/saturn-launcher-gui

Thanks.

I've been using linux for a few years but this just stumped me. I was trying to get the gog version of bioshock classic to run on my brothers potato laptop (it doesnt have a chance running the remastered version lol). I've been using heroic launcher as its what I'm most familiar with. I have tried a few versions of proton ge, I've disabled fsync/esync, installed various winetricks components (vcrun 2005, vcrun 2008, physx, dx9, dx10). I used environment variables to try force it to use dx9. Non of it working. It loads the logos but doesn't reach the menu. Any help really appreciated.

I built a small tool called Alice's Mirror. It serves a shared, persistent terminal in the browser over HTTP/WebSocket, with a mobile-friendly UI (key bar, clipboard-aware copy/paste). I use it mostly for Gemini / AI dev workflows, and quick check-ins from a phone on my LAN.

WHY IT EXISTS

- I wanted a browser-first terminal on phone/tablet without SSH apps, keys, or extra setup.

- I often keep a single shared session open across multiple devices while an agent runs.

WHY IT'S NICER THAN TMUX + SSH (FOR THIS USE CASE)

- Zero client setup: open a URL instead of installing SSH apps / setting up keys.

- Mobile-first controls: key bar + touch-friendly interactions + clipboard-aware copy/paste.

- Shared session: multiple clients can watch or interact with the same PTY in real time.

- Discovery built-in: optional LAN discovery (--visible) to find it quickly.

- Easy remote access: works well behind a tunnel (e.g., Cloudflare Tunnel) without exposing SSH.

FEATURES

- Shared PTY over HTTP/WebSocket (multi-client)

- Shell reset (kills process tree + respawns)

- Optional LAN discovery via mDNS + UDP (--visible)

- Basic Auth when --user + --password are set

- Linux + Windows binaries (Android server build coming soon)

Repo: https://github.com/aliceTheFarmer/alices-mirror

I'd love feedback on UX, security expectations, and feature gaps.

I see a lot of people struggling with permissions when adding AppImages or non-Steam games to the Flatpak version of Steam. I've personally found Flatseal to be a lifesaver, but I'm curious—what is the most 'seamless' setup you've found for gaming on Linux in 2026? Let's share some tips for the newcomers!

The version of Steam I'm running is a Flatpak. I'm trying to add a non-Steam program, but it doesn't seem to be working. The program in question is an AppImage and its permissions have been changed to allow it to be an executable file.

However, anytime I try and run it, it fails to launch. When I hit play it flashes to the blue stop and then immediately back to the green play button.

Anyone been able to get AppImages to launch from Steam? I've tried a couple different ones and they all behave the same way.

yo,

I got tired of the tedious process of hunting down specific .manifest files and writing custom Lua scripts just to get games recognized or working with external library tools. To fix this, I mapped a database of nearly 30k games into a searchable generator.

The Vault Stats:

• 29,795 games indexed and ready.
• What it does: Enter an AppID or game name, and it instantly generates the specific .manifest file and the corresponding Lua script.
• Rules/Safety: To be 100% clear, NO copyrighted game data, executables, or cracks are hosted here. This tool only provides metadata and configuration scripts for your existing files.

Check it out: idkai.store

It’s a solo project, so if the generator misses a specific game, use the "Request Game" button and I’ll update the manifest/lua library

I recently switched to linux mint after windows got way too annoying and everything has been great up to today. I found out while talking to a friend over discord that screensharing tanks my frames and that the streamed video looks like a slideshow. I dug deeper and found out this has been an issue, but discord did something to fix it with wayland? I heard that this works for amd cards and is being worked on for nvidia cards from a video about 1 year old.

I've looked everywhere and I can't find any more information on this so I am asking:
Is there a way to make discord screensharing use hardware acceleration and work like on windows while having an nvidia GPU?
