Why not create native client/store compatible with Steam Deck, Always thought they hate with valve cut (30/25/20%)?

hey i have a 920 and g502 xplus how do i control it on linux g hub dosent work with wine

I'm guessing it's possible but what I wanted to know would this proved the same/similar type of security that comes with virtual machines. If my laptop that I use everyday, streams into my personal pc I only use for gaming on windows.

So i recently bought a Xbox x controller and have been trying to connect it to my PC running Debian 12 under KDE plasma. I have tried everything that i could find online but nothing seems to work.

I tried to pair it via Bluetooth by powering the controller on and the holding down the sync button. The light on my controller blinks fast also it shows up on my Blue-man but after trying to connect to it nothing happens. I have tried connecting it with a type c cable which works. I also have a 8BitDo controller which works with Bluetooth no issues. I tried reinstalling the Bluetooth drivers, then tried installing xpadneo as well as xpad but nothing works.

For my Bluetooth device i am using a TP-link UB500.

This is the log from my - systemctl status bluetooth

I am fair bit new to this community so if you need any other info i will try to update my post as soon as possible.

Hello, Everyone!

I have seen in a couple of places that the Valve Index is compatible with linux and even some videos testing a couple of games (the most recent one being probably 2 years old)...

However, I've seen a lot of threads and comments saying that VR in linux is generally buggy and unstable, I would like to see someone (if possible) sharing their full experience with an Index Valve using linux... Is it buggy only with SteamVR or is it buggy in general?

I have a HP Reverb G2 and use it with my windows partition in my dual booted system (Mint being my main partition for everything else), but that's the problem, I literally only have windows for VR because every other thing I've tried has ended up working in Mint (either old or new).

I was thinking of ditching windows forever and selling my HP Reverb because that's the thing, I literally only have windows for the VR and I really don't like the idea that much, so, I was wondering, is it worth it to buy an Index and play all my VR games there? Is it worth the investment so I would have a semi-stable performance? (I have a Gigabyte RX 5700 GPU and a Ryzen 9 3900x CPU, and 32GB of Ram).

I don't have a lot of games on VR and I play like every 2 weeks or so but I would like to see most of these games working without the game randomly crashing at the very least: Fallout 4, Skyrim, No man's sky, All In One Sports, Borderlands 2, Hellblade, Synth Riders, Rez Infinite, Half Life: Alyx...

Please, let me know.... Thanks!

I've installed wine on Ubuntu 22.04, then installed halo Custom Edition the old fashioned way and I got a segmentation fault at launch. It was running fine on Ubuntu 18.04, but I had to update cause reasons.. Does anyone know what could I do?

If you have to ask if a distribution can be trusted - it cannot be trusted. Simple as that. There has been a recent influx of these posts, and it is difficult to impossible to tell if they are malicious in nature. I'm sure vets will overlook / downvote these threads (I know I do) but the reality is that there are many easily manipulated users on here that will somehow walk into distributions like Nobara or Garuda expecting the level of stability and support Windows provides, and getting turned off by Linux as a whole.

This is almost reminiscent of a decade ago when there were a lot of "kids" picking up Kali and trying to use it as a daily driver without having any understanding of what Kali actually is. I am only creating this thread because such trends have had long term negative impacts on the community as a whole.

If you have no idea what you are doing there are lots of very good resources out there to learn Linux but picking up a "gamer distro" is not the option. My suggestion? Try a beginner friendly distribution like Mint, to get used to Linux as a whole. I only suggest Mint here because in my experience it seems to be the most inoffensive but fully featured distribution out there.

Long story short... I dual boot Windows and Mint but I've started to get curious what actually happens with my GPU drivers (rtx 3080) - as I'm using one driver version on Windows, and another on Mint. This is gonna sound stupid, but couldn't that brick the GPU or cause issues with it because now there are 2 different drivers on the same GPU? Like, someone explain to me how that actually works.

Is there any chance to make it work outside the steam ver? Since the files are basically the same, but I just can't seem to make it work properly, when I open the game it just shows a black window, I tried via lutris/bottles with the same results on both.

PD: Do not tell me “just use the steam” pls is not the point of the post. 😭

sudo systemctl reboot --firmware-setup

YOU'RE WELCOME.

I just had to help family from across the country get into their BIOS to turn on virtualisation for legit reasons... couldn't get in without this. Worked instantly on their, and even my own computer.

But what really blows me away is how low-key this knowledge is.

I started using it today, and it's probably the easiest distro to use for gaming.

I just recently installed Undertale, and it hurts to use the arrow keys. I would love to switch to WASD keybinds.

Dice Mayhem is a roguelike dice battler where you need to use strategy, risk and luck to defeat bosses and enemies to gain to the next level

what level will you get to before dying?

if you want to play the game here is the link it's 100% free and playable on the linux

Judging from the discord server, your best bet is to patch the game on a Windows PC / VM, pass the patched files to your Linux pc and launch the game with the side 7 launcher.

Problem is, no one has gotten the side 7 launcher working with Proton yet, at least on the server. Did anyone here got it running?
