Another company decided to put malware in users operating systems/.

Daily when I launch CS2 it has to Process Vulkan Shaders and this takes up to 30+ minutes each time What the heck is going on with this system? I have Nvidia 2080ti on Arch Linux KDE Wayland

Hi

In my search on why my HDR picture quality is all washed out, I was made aware that I needed mesa version 25.1

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1mn942x/anybody_using_hdr_on_fedora_kde_wayland_protonge/

And to be more specific 25.1 needed to be updated inside the steam flatpak somehow

As my system Is updated to the newest version possible I cannot do anything more than sit and wait for the Mesa version inside Steam Flatpak to get updated to 25.1

-------------------------------

I have done a command in the terminal

and I got this

flatpak list | grep Mesa
Mesa org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default 25.0.7 23.08 system
Mesa (Extra) org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default 25.0.7 23.08-extra system
Mesa org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default 25.1.3 24.08 system
Mesa (Extra) org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default 25.1.3 24.08extra system
Mesa org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.default 25.1.3 24.08 system
Mesa (Extra) org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.default 25.1.3 24.08extra system

-------------------------------

Non the wiser I guess that the top one 25.0.7 is the one used inside Steam flatpak

can anybody tell me how often Steam Flatpak is updated to the newest version ?

and also if it is the 25.0.7 is the Mesa version inside Steam flatpak ?

thanks

hardware is as follows

5600x3d
6700 xt

Dual monitors. main is 3440x1440 at 240hz and the second is 4k at 60hz

I am running kubuntu (i disabled snaps). I got the flatpack version of steam.

What happens is when my steam friends join games it will show up on my second monitor in the bottom right hand corner. I am totally at a loss on what is causing this because i went though the options and everything seems alright and my monitor settings i am sure are right.

Any idea what might cause this?

I've tried uninstalling it and installing it again but that didn't work. I also tried repairing it but this didn't work. If someone can help me please reply. Newest Version of sober and all I did was flatpak update and the usual prompt

Guys I have a problem with some icons of mine (mainly games) that does not have the right resolution or it is even missing, so I have been searching around this problem and its a issue with more than 10 years on steam. Is there a way to automatically download the icon for steam games? SGDBoop does not work for app menu (GNOME) icons, only work for steam in-app icons.

I don't know what happened, i tried to remove it and install it again, still occured the issue.

I'm running debian sid and purchased a wired usb game controller for gaming.

The controller configures fine when plugged in and works using lutris flatpak without issue.

When not in use, it constantly disconnects and reconnects:

I'm pretty sure this is an idle timeout issue as I can stop this behavior by running the System Settings joystick control or 'cat /dev/input/event11 > /dev/null'.

Any help appreciated as I prefer to leave this plugged in.

Picked up Backpack Hero on Steam last week with plans to play or on my ROG Ally X running Bazzite. When I went to copy a backed up save l, I saw that the Windows version had been Installed. I've tried everything to make Steam download the Linux version but am having no luck. Is there a way to force Steam to download the Linux version of a game?

I have switched to Linux (Mint) for all of my home computers aside from my main gaming PC. I like Mint just fine and can do everything I need to do at home on it so far.

I have two questions:

1. Will a live image give me a good idea of Linux performance for games? I want to test things out with a USB before making the plunge.

2. Is there a certain distro, DE, etc. that is going to give me a better/worse experience targeting games at 1080p/60? Any reason not to use Mint or to use a certain flavor? I have an AMD 5600X and 6600XT if it matters.

All games are stored on disks separate from my Windows boot drive right now. Most were GOG or in standalone installers. I would plan to mostly run these through Steam/Proton.

Hi, guys! I'm new to gaming on Linux and I had some issues. I used the heroic game launcher, and while the game launches alright and everything, there's a bug where I can't change the resolution of my game. Im trying to do so to get more frames and also because my computer for some reason allows me to select a higher resolution than my monitor (1440p) which is where the game resolution locks itself to (4k), hence my need to lower it.

My doom eternal doesn't let me press buttons
