Also this is Through lutris by the way. I'm running Linux Mint I have no more space on my laptop anymore and I have all the set up files and stuff on an SD card from my old windows set up but is there anyway instead of putting the game on my system hard drive on to an SD card like installing them on to that or is that not possible? Like through wine and lutris

I have been trying to connect my nintentdo joycon controllers to my system but it has not been working. They will temporarily pair with my machine but disconnect after about a minute. Even during that time they produce no inputs nor are they detected by evtest. I have installed: joycond, dkms-hid-nintendo, and cemuhook. This has been an issue across multiple usb bluetooth adapters. I am running Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) x86_64. And i have updated my joycond rules. I have looked through many forums and have nothing that helps. Anything that would finally make these damned things work would be extremely appreciated.

Edit: Wired controllers work with no issues

Back in windows 10 I used a tool called Borderless Gaming which (iI think) moves the window so it kinda looks like a borderless one but I think it is only made for windows and I don't think running it with wine would work well. Is there anything similar to this on Linux? Or perhaps any of you people know how to do it more easily? Mainly looking to do this for Payday The Heist which only has fullscreen which dissapears when I switch to another window on my second monitor and windowed which is abyssmal. Thanks for the help.

What is the most reliable wy to launch minecraft with linux? Which is the best (most stable) launcher? Where are the cross plattform limits?

I'm having trouble getting games working on my current setup. My main Windows laptop is out of commission for a bit, so I'm borrowing an older one. The hard drive is failing in that and my internet connection isn't going to stand up to downloading a full Windows install image, so I grabbed Pop!_OS and installed it on my external SSD. But now the two games I've tried to run on this setup have issues with freezing after a few minutes of play. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it.

System Information
CPU: Core i7-7700HQ
RAM: 16GB LPDDR4 @ 2400 MHz
GPU: GTX 1050 4GB (driver version 560.35.03)
SSD: Samsung PSSD T7 (serial # S6XANS0WA16477X)
OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS

Games Tried
Batman: Arkham City (issues may have been fixed by going to Windowed Mode, more testing needed)
Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon(freezes immediately if I try to put it in Windowed Mode)

Proton Versions Tried
8.0-5
9.0-3
Experimental
GE-Proton 9-20

Additional Steps Tried
As mentioned above I've tried running in windowed mode. Might've worked for Arkham City, but it makes Armored Core freeze immediately rather than in a few minutes. I also tried disabling Easy Anti-Cheat on Armored Core, to 0 effect. I've looked into disabling ForceFullCompositionPipeline in my driver settings, but I don't have it in the GUI version of NVIDIA settings and can't seem to get the command right trying to do it through a terminal.

Please bear in mind that I am nowhere near an experienced Linux user, I've only messed with it twice before and both of those were on a desktop machine which behaved more as expected out-of-box, so detailed instructions on any advice offered or further information requested is deeply appreciated.

I tried using terminal to install is with “Sudo and apt” commands but it always says an error so is there any other way to install it? I also have steam and I have gta 5 bought but it won’t install to

I want to play a particularly small windows game, named elona. Its about 200 mb and i would wish to be able to play it whitout running steam at all, i understand that i can run it through wine but proton is the way to go if i dont want any clueless crash or crap like that.

Does freesync work on nvidia gpus on linux? I read that this works on windows as long as i use a displayport cable, does this also apply to linux? Does it work out of the box or do i have to do some tinkering?

I currently have a gsync monitor but i want an upgrade and the one im looking at only has freesync, i have an RTX 3090, use hyprland and sometime qtile on X11

I made an NVidia GPU overclocking tool with a decent GUI that works on Wayland and supports profiles and fan curves.

here's the github link if you wanna check it out

Hi guys - hope things are well. Thank you all for help with my last post. I rewired my case and reinstalled the fans properly to ensure smoother airflow (turns out one of the fans was backwards and the wiring was a mess lol). The first image attached is my PC running cyberpunk 2077, the 2nd image is my PC downloading some files (close to idle).

Currently I'm not too concerned abt the GPU and CPU temps because I have moved all my fans to the front so I have no exhaust fans. But I am picking up 2 exhaust fans today so I imagine I will get better cooling results later tonight. What is more concerning now is my RAM. Under load it appears to be getting to above 55+ degrees and my computer starts screeching like a fighter jet. The RAM module is: Kingston KVR48U40BS6-8 DDR5 ram 2x8GB, 4800 MHz, CL-40.

should I invest in heatsinks for the RAM? Should I be concerned abt he RAM temps, should I just buy newer, better RAM? What kind of RAM should I get? Any advice is appreciated.

Ps. Sorry for the camera shots, still have not fully set up all my hotkeys, etc. On my new distro

Since EA has banned Apex Legends on Linux im was wondering if this definitely includes VMs aswell. I have a VM with GPU-passthrough etc. but i don't know if this is enough. Are there any workaround out there is dualbootign literally the only option now?

Hey guys, everything okay? I'm a new Linux user, I use the Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS distro. The only thing that bothers me is downloading mods for the Reisident Evil games. The game in question is R3 Remake. The FluffyModManager software has an .exe file to run it, but Linux does not open this file. Can you help this poor beginner Linux user?

Hoping someone can give me a definitive answer here.... is it possible to boot a debian host using an amd iGPU, and pass through an AMD GPU to a kvm guest?

I'm in the market to upgrade my gaming rig, but I have certain requirements. I'd like the host system to be based off of the new 9800X3D chip, and use the iGPU for all things linuxy. Windows will run as a KVM guest, and have an AMD GPU passed through to it. Critically, both systems must output displays at the same time.

I'm assuming this is easily done, but I've never dealt with an iGPU like this before, so I'd like to ensure it's doable before I spend the money on the hardware. My doubts come from the fact that my current 1600x-based system MUST have a gfx card in the first slot (the only x16 slot), but then that slot CANNOT be used as gpu passthrough because then there's no display for the host system. I'm hoping that an iGPU solves this problem.

Thanks for the feedback!

This error pops up whenever I try to run some games with Proton, typically AAA games.

I'm betting that valve and arch dev will release a true Linux Gaming desktop distro. To help centralize Linux Gaming. Which is clearly needed. Since every new users are always confused about what distro to chose for gaming.

But when it comes to game store we all know to chose steam first 🤭.

A centralize Linux Gaming distro makes absolute sense. And valve is the company that can do it to perfection.
