I had some troubles running games on my system. Now they can all be started, but some have a strange graphic error. It looks very similar in different games.

This is what it looks like for Call of Duty: Black Ops II and GTA V

Basically, don’t know how to explain my issue, but I am trying to play freespace 2 from GOG in lutris and it wont run, in fact the only game I got to work was FNV- all my other games just wont run, I dont even remember what I did to get FNV working, and when I say “working” the UI flashes like its trying to give me a stroke.

I dont know where to begin in asking for help, or what the real problem actually is, I just want my good old games to run, for some downtime here and there.

PS: I would never consider going back to windows, for any reason. I love the FOSS apps and the Linux open source operating systems, I use Linux Mint Debian Edition and an NVIDIA RTX 3050 (ti?) on laptop with 16 gb of ram. If you want I could check which drivers but im pretty sure they are the most recent ones.

This is something I have been desperately trying to figure out, yet I have no answer. Whenever I am on Radeon graphics, I can switch between Wayland and Xorg (on the new Plasma) with zero or marginal performance deltas. On Intel iGPU's, though, Wayland runs ever so slightly faster in the games I play. I had some hypotheses as to why this happens, but those don't seem to hold up. Triple-buffering appears to be enabled in either case, and the GPU utilization monitors don't report any background activity whilst in-game. I am using the same Xorg modesetting driver in either case (the deprecated xf86 Intel video driver runs even slower).

This would be an excuse to use Wayland in and of itself, but my favorite DE doesn't support it yet, so I'd like to get the best out of Xorg in the meantime.

As expected, the first release candidate of the forthcoming XWayland 24.1 is now available ahead of its planned stable debut in May.

This is another big feature update for XWayland to enjoy running X11/X.Org apps/games under Wayland compositors. The XWayland 24.1 release is delivering explicit sync support that's long been brewing throughout the stack and delivers the most noticeable improvements for those using the NVIDIA proprietary Linux graphics driver. Also of NVIDIA relevance in this version is removing the EGLStream back-end now that NVIDIA is finally supporting GBM.

XWayland 24.1 also delivers a number of rootful improvements including HiDPI and fractional scaling for the rootful mode, among other improvements.

Currently using Pop!_OS 22.04 and I've tried Proton 8.0-5, Proton Experimental, Proton 7.0-6 and Proton GE 9-4.

The game only works fullscreen on Proton 7, but menu navigation with keyboard goes so fast that it's unusable.

Proton 8, Experimental and GE: the game freezes a second after starting in fullscreen mode and the cursor goes out of the game in windowed mode.

Hey folks, I'm trying to get my Bluetooth Stadia controller to work with Steam. I've read some of the other Stadia posts here, but haven't found a solution. Any help appreciated.

Current issue: I have a Stadia controller that's been switched to Bluetooth. I've used it successfully on Windows for a year. I can connect the controller to Linux via Bluetooth. It shows up in my devices. But when I go to Steam settings, it shows No Controller Detected. As far as Steam is concerned, the controller doesn't exist. Any ideas how to fix?

I'm running Linux Lite Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS Kernel Linux 5.4.0-176-generic (x86-64)

My hardware is an HP Chromebox

I cant seem to make it work
