I am using cachyOS with a 5070 and a 10850k

I want to live stream myself playing some games for my girlfriend and on windows I would just use vesktop and this would work on Linux but because of their lack of NVENC support it’s very choppy or if not choppy it’s very pixelated.

If you have any ideas on how I can solve my issue as this is the last thing keeping me on windows, I am not a Linux beginner but I’m not advanced either

I have an annoying problem where the vibration on my XBox One Elite controller cuts out after exactly 1 sec. Everything else I've found online issues related to bluetooth or no rumble AT ALL, which isn't the case here.

It's really obvious in Rocket League. Holding boost should have constant vibration until you either release the button or boost runs out, but for me it just stops after exactly 1sec. Jumping or landing somehow resets (even while holding boost) so it vibrates again and cuts off at exactly 1sec. There's no setting to control this in-game. Constant vibration like this isn't exactly common in games so I don't have another way to test it.

Running Bazzite, all updated. Gaming through Steam. I'm using Solaar and Piper for mouse configuration though I'm pretty sure they don't affect controllers. Tried a friend's controller of the same model and it does the same thing. Bluetooth or wired doesn't matter. I've got Windows 10 on another drive and the controller works perfectly as expected there, so it's not a hardware or firmware issue.

Anyone know what could be the issue?

I doubt it's related, but since installing Bazzite a few months back I've always had 2 brief error messages like "TOCBLOCK #### corrupted" (where #### always changes after restart), which I wasn't able to find an explanation or answer for so I ignore it.

Basically the title. It seems to happen when I'm doing something like streaming a video in a vc. Part of me wonders if it's some kind of side effect of that new thing they implemented on windows, where the app idles if youre idle for too long, since I tend to be afk when streaming videos.

If it's not that, then its likely related to using hardware acceleration. Unfortunately, not using hardware acceleration isnt really an option, since it severely degrades the quality of the aforementioned streams.

Rn I'm going to test to see if it still happens with equibop, but otherwise I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and if they've been able to address it.

Hey, does anyone here use Geforce Now and manage to send Steam Input to gfnow app? I've seen threads about adding gfnow as a non-Steam game so that you can map additional buttons on the controller and use the gyro. However, Steam input doesn't work at all for me then.
Maybe someone knows how this is solved on Steam Deck? I'm almost sure there's no problem with additional buttons.
Controller I use is flydigi vader 4 pro, Steam normally detects it as Vader 4 pro.

I’ve been slowly moving my system away from Windows and over to Linux, but one of the things that held me back was RGB control.

After going through the process myself installing linux, I decided automate the whole process into a small script that prepares a Linux system for OpenRGB .

The script checks the required kernel parameter, installs dependencies, detects hardware, enables the I²C subsystem, and fixes permissions

I wanted to make the process easier for myself in the future, but it turned into a project to assist all distros.

I used Fedora for years (12) until my last laptop broke. I switched to using Kashi just to test it. Quickly became a fan. Is there realistically anything gaming wise that is different between the two. I haven't noticed anything, Hardware compatibility frame rates everything seems to be nice. Just wanting to see what other people's thoughts on this was.

I just released my first open-source project: ds4linux

I originally started it because I couldn't get native PlayStation button prompts working in Detroit: Become Human with my DualSense. But ironically, it works for other games and not on Detroit (It needs a different implementation for Detroit which I have been unable to make a hybrid solution yet.)

I tested it on other games like Hades and The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, and it works flawlessly. It completely hides the real controller and makes the game see a virtual DualShock 4 with a spoofed MAC address.

Since this is my first community project, I'd love some feedback. If you've been struggling to get PlayStation prompts in specific games, try running this daemon before you launch Steam and let me know if it helps.

I've tried hotfix, experimental, 10-9, and GE 10-10. All give the same behavior. I click play, steam recognizes the game as being launched for a moment, then nothing happens and the play button pops up again as if the game closed. I have yet to see anyone with this issue, and even see people with my same distro (EndeavourOS) saying it works first try with no tinkering. Very unsure how to proceed.

I will not make this long-winded. I need RGB only changed on my RAM as the rest of the RGB was permanently changed through Windows but I have no idea how to either A) make the light strips teal in Linux or B) make the changes permanently through a Windows install before swapping back to Nobara.

I will not 100% guarantee success for everyone and their use case, but if this helps even one person or helps someone smarter than I figure out how to make this work for everyone easily well...

I finally figured out how to do this and figured I would share:

Prerequisites:

• A bluetooth Adapter that supports wake, I am using the TP Link UB500.
• Connect your desired controller via bluetooth or usb. For me this was a PS5 Controller via bluetooth, (DualSense) an NSO N64 Controller, (via bluetooth) and an Xbox Series S Controller. (via bluetooth) Make sure whatever devices you want to use are connected and working.
• Know what your password is for your user so you can run sudo commands. If you do not know what that is, go get some more experience/read other tutorials before attempting.

Steps:

1. Go to Desktop Mode, Open up terminal.

2. Run

   sudo ls /etc/udev/rules.d/

   and find a number that is not already in use. ( I will use 98 in my examples)

3. Run

   sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/98-wake.rules

   and paste in the following (ctr+shift+v):

   #enable wakeup for all usb bluetooth dongles ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{bDeviceClass}=="e0", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo enabled > /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/wakeup'" #enable wakeup for USB HID devices (keyboards, mice, gaming controllers) ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{bDeviceClass}=="03", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo enabled > /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/wakeup'" #enable wakeup for vendor specific devices that still present as controllers ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{bDeviceClass}=="ff", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo enabled > /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/wakeup'" #enable wakup for all usb devices presenting as composite devices ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{bDeviceClass}=="00|ef", ATTR{bInterfaceClass}=="03|e0|ff", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo enabled > /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/wakeup'" #enable wakeup for all bluetooth adapters ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="bluetooth", KERNEL=="hci[0-9]*", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo enabled > /sys/class/bluetooth/%k/device/power/wakeup'"

   then hit "ctrl+x" then "y" then "enter" to save it.

4. Run this command to reload your rules:

   udevadm control --reload

5. Run this command to have your existing devices reprocessed:

   udevadm trigger

Finally, test it by (making sure your controller is connected) putting the machine to sleep. Once it has been asleep for 15 seconds, try waking it up by powering on the controller. If your (bluetooth or usb) hardware supports it, you should be able to wake the machine via your device. This should work both on Desktop and in Gaming Mode. Sometimes it can take up to 10-15 seconds of the controller just flashing, or may require multiple button presses to keep the controller reaching out so be patient and get a feel for your setup and what you have to do.

If anyone wants to take a crack at getting the Bazzite Devs attention for me or someone to do a PR to add a ujust command I would be open to that, but as a simple first time contributor I'm nervous enough just posting this to reddit.

Hope it helps someone. Edits are for Spelling, Clarification, and Grammar.

I need good fan curves cause after switching to Linux my PC loud.

Hi! So I've tried doing some research on this topic but haven't really come across a definitive answer. I'm running cachyOS and I play a wide range of games, and wondering if it is worth swapping my GPU over to get some better performance. I'm currently rocking a 5800x3D with 32GB clocked at 3200mhz.

Thanks!

Update: Thanks everyone, I'll stick with the 4070 for now and hold off until i can get a 9070xt. I didn't know that DX12 performance was getting improvements soon on nvidia cards, mainly ha.

im planning on switching to zorin os for my studies and gaming and these are my specs:

Rtx 4050

i7-13650HX 13th gen

16gb ram ddr5

thanks in advance

So, I installed Faugus and downloaded Battle Net launcher, it worked fine and everything was smooth until I had to restart my machine.

Now I get a full white window when I open the battle net launcher. Any window that spawns from BNet is fully white.

Does anyone has a solution or faced the same issues ?

I have 2 monitors, my Primary is my right monitor and my secondary is my left monitor, Whenever i launch Team Fortress 2 it Launches in my Secondary Monitor but its stuck at an aspect ratio of 4:3, whenever i try to change it it always goes back to 4:3,Its always stuck like this aswell and i cant put it in fullscreen, Im launching the game with the Advanced Launch option set to "-windowed" because if i dont the game will completely disable my primary monitor until i restart my pc, please help

Hi guys!

i've vibe-coded a little website that helps you find the right Linux distro. Me and my friends always struggled with that so I figured why not make something for it. would love to hear what you guys think, open to any feedback!

I got some sorta of spiky ground glitch, also the game recognize only 2gb of bran (as shown in the image),
I'm using:

Bazzite

Proton GE latest (also tried experimental and proton-catchyos latest)

GPU: Intel arc b570 guardian Luna OC (10gb VRAM)

I also tried forcing 10gb in dxvk via launch options, re-created shaders, turn of force mesh and other things.

I played Else Ring, Resident Evil requiem, Sofi, Helldivers 2 perfectly without no problem

Okay guys as the title suggests i've to setup my external monitor
I'm currently running Fedora kde 42
My Laptop specs are Dell g15 rtx 3050
When i'm doing the mirroring i see lag when enlarging of apps
when i use secondary monitor setup the lags is considerably less but still there ( refresh rate 100 Hz )
but when i use x11 the lags is almost none but refresh rate at x11 is 60Hz cap

Can you provide me with tips and what I need to do to make it smoooth?
