I have 2 ssd's, is it viable to just plop windows on the one without linux, and somewhat smoothly swap between them to play games with kernel level anticheat like BF6? And in that case how? I do not have any physical copies of my windows 10

Seems to work absolutely fine for like half of my library, but some games just seem to absolutely refuse working whatsoever since I switch to Mint Cinnamon.

Controller support is nowhere to be found, controller settings within steam absolutely refuses to work, it doesn't even let me adjust the template for the game itself, just throwing me a blank window every time.

I've tried the kbm support template, updating my system constantly, restarting, completely resetting my system from USB, but because it doesn't actually let me change any of the hotkeys (trying on both m&k and controller), again it just refuses. The default kbm template is the only way I've even got it to respond to controller input, and I can't change any inputs both in-game and within steam? I'm losing my mind a bit to be honest

The most progress I've made here is being able to use the d pad to scroll around menus.

What do?

I want to use a generic 3rd party ps3 controller but I am having troubles with using it or it being detected by steam.

Distro: Bazzite latest update

Proton Version: Hotfix

Controller: 8BitDo Pro 2 (Both Xbox Mode and Switch Mode)

Issue: The game works fine for around 5 to maybe 10 minutes, but after that time the game will just stop taking inputs from my controller. I have tried with and without Steam Input to get the same results.

Monster Hunter Wilds doesn’t have this issue, and I haven’t checked World. I can also play Tokyo Extreme Racer on the same controller without issue either. I haven’t tried using Gamescope yet, but I have a feeling that won’t help or fix the issue, I could be wrong though.

The game will take Keyboard and Mouse inputs just fine though. And I do have the Sunbreak DLC.

Any and all help is welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Whenever I try to launch Halo infinite it tells me to "sign into my Xbox live profile" but doesn't open up any window for me to enter any login credentials.

I am using the heroic game launcher for first time in a fedora 42 and wanted to play Dredge. The thing is that I started playing it on a windows machine and even tough I was able to download the save from the cloud in ~/Games/Heroic/Dredge the game does not recognise. Am I doing something wrong or is it that I can not play a save that was made in a windows machine?

i try to play with my friend (windows) and me (linux) online some old lan games (settlers 2), but we do not get it work to find us ingame.

We tried tailscale and zerotier. The only one we got work is hamachi.

Any other recommendation?

when i try to play NFS UNBOUND everything lags and moves like it's in slow motion. I launch it through steam. Any way to fix this?

Hey Linux folks,

I made a simple sumo game with terminal aesthetics.

It's so annoying and frustrating to have to force use of dGPU for every OpenGL manually. I don't understand why there's no way to just set one GPU to be used for all high demand workloads.

Vulkan at least chooses dGPU by default, but I haven't seen a convenient way to change this if I want to. Setting convoluted environmental variables to force use of a particular GPU for each game manually is not very convenient.

Hello all, I'm trying to get two joysticks to work as one controller for steam input.

The goal here although not optimal is to play Redout 2 with the flight sticks i use in elite and star citizen as i think it would be really fun.

Ive mapped my desired bindings in steam input but by the looks of it only one joystick can send inputs at a time, so the question is do i need to create a virtual controller somehow, or can i tell steam to merge them some other way?

if it helps the sticks are constellation alpha primes L+R with warbrd bases.

edit - im on arch/hyprland

I bought Dishonored while I was on Mint and shortly after that I decided to try out Arch but now Dishonored doesn’t want to open at all. It worked barely using Proton 3.16-9, but by barely it could just show the menu after loading and then it crashed.

It is a Top Tier gaming distro for Linux, I even ran it on my Harddrive without any Problems. Smooth as fuck for gaming to. Really Responsive

But its not that well Known

Can anybody help me with setting Lossless Scaling on my linux mint cinnamon? I've watch a few video and read some guide but nothing works

I've been trying to use it to play Roblox, but Sober just won't load. It boots me back to the library menu immediately. Why is this?

The game launches, but automatically quits after about 5 seconds. You can see this happening in the video I’ve attached.

I’ve tried the following Proton versions, but the issue persists:

• Proton Hotfix
• Proton 10 Beta
• Proton CachyOS

I’ve also verified the integrity of the game files.

Kindly help me figure out how to fix this issue.

Bonjour J’ai un souci avec Sober : je n’arrive plus à l’ouvrir, même après l’avoir désinstallé puis réinstallé. Le programme ne se lance tout simplement pas, et je ne comprends pas d’où vient le problème. Je suis sous Zorin OS
