[Tool][Open Source][SteamDeck] NoSteam2Steam — Auto-Detect and Manage Non-Steam Games in Steam with Automatic Save Backup/Restore
Hello everyone,
I wanted to share a tool I’ve been working on for several months called NoSteam2Steam. I created it because I couldn’t find any existing solution that met some specific needs I had for managing non-Steam games on the Steam Deck.
While I really liked how Heroic Games Launcher adds games to Steam, I didn’t like that it didn’t run them with the system’s native compatibility tools — among other things, it took noticeably longer to launch and I suspected it could have worse overall performance (even if it wasn’t always obvious). Also, save files for non-Steam games were easily lost, making it hard to continue PC saves.
NoSteam2Steam automatically detects all games in a designated folder without any user input, adding them to Steam complete with configuration, images, and icons ready to go. It also syncs and automatically backs up save files, with an option to restore lost saves.
One useful feature is that it can recover lost saves when a game has been added to Steam multiple times, which can sometimes cause previous save backups to be lost.
Right now it’s focused and tested on the Steam Deck, but with small adjustments it could potentially work on other Linux distributions in the future.
I’m sharing this here so others with similar needs can try it out and provide feedback.
I’m happy to answer questions, hear suggestions, or collaborate with anyone interested in improving it.
Here’s the repo:

Thanks for reading, and I hope you find it useful!

Adaptive Sync with NVIDIA and Wayland
Hi folks,
my research is a little bit confusing, so I’m asking you 😅 I’m trying to run an RTX 4090 with CachyOS on a Samsung Frame, which has Gaming Mode and Adaptive Sync / 120 Hz via HDMI. Is this a combination that is supposed to work? Or is there some kind of tweaking that I missed?
Every time I switch to 120 Hz, I get artifacts and eventually a black screen. I can only run the following modes: - 60 Hz with Adaptive Sync at 4K - 120 Hz with Adaptive Sync at 1080p
I tried both Gnome and KDE.
Both are kind of not the point why I’m having this hardware.
The same setup works on Windows, so it’s not a cable issue. DisplayPort adapter didn’t work, either.

Linux Mint 22.1 - X11 gaming performance better than Wayland?
So I had some trouble running multiple monitors with different Hz and read online that this issue doesn't exist in Wayland, which seems to be true.
For some reason I cannot even run more than 165Hz on X11 without it feeling extremely choppy (more like 30Hz), while even 200Hz feels buttersmooth on Wayland.
Anyway, then I did some benchmarking.
I benchmarked CS2 and Dota 2.
Counter Strike 2 (numbers are average FPS):
DisplayServer SMAAx4 CMAA2 No AA Wayland 367 419 422 X11 378 432 438Dota 2 (benchmarked via timedemo, so FPS are lower than usual):
DisplayServer Avg. FPS frametime_P5 frametime_P50 frametime_P95 Wayland 90.1 9.1 10.9 13.8 X11 92 8.9 10.7 13.4Now, I didn't yet benchmark other games that are more GPU heavy, but looking at this, I am not sure if I even should.
Seems like X11 just performs better?
Is this generally something that is known?
Is this just because the Wayland support for Linux Mint is still experimental?
I am on Linux Mint 22.1
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5800X
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT
using latest MESA driver as far as I know

Steam: Millennium + Steam Tinker Launch?
The title says it pretty much all. I'm wondering if the two are compatible with each other and if anyone is doing something like that? I'd like to be able to get the themes and plugins from Millennium but also stuff like mangohud, vortex, reshade and so on with Steam tinker launch. I haven't tried it yet as I'm worried there might be some incompatibility that would brick the client. Help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Gaming chair or office chair? Looking for advice
Hey everyone,
I'm planning to buy a new chair because my current one isn't comfortable and it's starting to hurt my back. I've been looking around and I'm not sure whether to go for a gaming chair or a good office chair.
If you've tried both, what would you recommend? Comfort and back support are really important for me. Appreciate any opinions or suggestions

cs2 stretched screen doesnt grab mouse
hey, so i have a fairly very specific problem. so my friend decided to switch from windows to fedora on KDE yesterday and he would like to play cs2, but not just play, he wants to play 4:3 on a native 16:9 screen. he has an nvidia gpu and we couldnt figure out for anyone's seek on how to do it. he has to be in windowed borderless not fullscreen since the game would only let him play at 75hz if he is on fullscreen but the main problem seems to be that when he changes the games resolution to 4:3, the game doesnt grab his mouse AT ALL so he cant control it after

Genuine question, which distro do you use for gaming?
So I'm a bit confuse on to which distro to choose, I'm currently in bazzite but considering to switch on kubuntu because of the LTS, since I will start working on cruise ships, and the internet connection is not really stable, so I might not be able to update packages, I will mostly play single player games so I will just play games casually, can you guys recommend a distro that will fit the situation that I have said?
For reference the games that I'm playing are: . Horizon zero dawn . assassin's creed origins . Disgeapc . Dave the diver . Shadow of Mordor . Watchdogs . The Witcher 1-3 . Bioshock 1-2 . Bioshock infinite . Cuphead . Dmc 1-3 . Bayonetta . Borderlands . Fallout 4
Thanks

Evil West issues w/ Linux
Hi I am new to linux and I am having some issues trying to properly run evil west. So I started Evil West today on my laptop and for some reason it has these weird red lines all over the character in the pause screen and then when I got to the chapter 2 the floor was just green. Which is weird because it works just fine on my steam deck and legion Go. I'm going to assume it's an Nvidia issue, however I still do wanna play the game on linux since I use my windows partition mostly for working on stuff. I tried to force the game to run with Vulkan however it just didnt launch and gave me an error. I don't really know what else to do so I would appreciate some help please :)
I am using Bazzite 42 on a 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12500H w/ NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 laptop.
