I have an AM5 mobo with an external wifi antenna. I have some inconsistent connectivity, it “hiccups” probably once an hour or so. I can’t really wire in through Ethernet.

I’m wondering if the connectivity issue is due to hardware or not, would it be worth getting a dedicated wifi card?

I’m running the non-cosmic Pop!_OS. Also any recommendations on diagnostic tools for this would be greatly appreciated. I still haven’t been able to figure out if it’s a router issue or a computer issue, my other devices don’t have this problem.

Hi all, am having issues running bg3 on steam. Worked fine on GOG but once I bought a legit copy on steam my monitor says "input not supported." I'm running Mint, with a Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti GPU, and AOC monitor. Using xorg, and have no interest in switching distros. I've tried changing grub settings and forcing bg3 to run in my screen resolution (1920x1080) with no luck. Haven't been able to find this exact issue anywhere online. If anyone has any suggestions or can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

update: after a litle bit of investigation i discovered what is happening and damm it is kinda weird, also i fixed the issue, i would delete the post but i will let it here in case someone goes tru what ive gone, the solution is in the comments!

i tried EVERYTHING every java version possivle, different launchers, but it simply doesnt run, it says something is wrong with xrandr but the output looks fine to me, and other versions of minecraft run just fine

im running on mint 22, i installed it today so it is a clean install, and it is werid because last time i used mint earlier this year it worked fine, i changed to debian and didnt work anymore so i tought it was something related to the distro, but now im back to mint and i cant run it too

I always wondered what bazzite means they adjuste CPU scheduler and optimuzed for gaming i wonder what that means? Did they just recompiled kernel with some options? Added some flags to /sys/proc? What exactly did they did to optimize it? My curiosity comes from that i have been using gentoo for years i love portage, and i recently started to use it for games and i leave the ease of use with portsge to indtall vulkan and easy driver managment, but i was curious how would bazzite offer more performance? Could i apply it to my system without reinstalling? I looked around in their wiki couldnt find much. Thank you for your answer

Hi there.

I'm using Bazzite and I play Steam games on a separate Btrfs partition.

I don't know why, but all of a sudden the games can't be launched anymore since I get a generic error with the compatibility tool.

I went to check the Steam folder and I see that, for unknown reasons, the Proton folder is empty. I've tried to use ProtonUp and inject ProtonGE, but works just the same.

I've tried to reinstall a game, nothing again.

I've tried to erase the Proton, compatdata and shadercache folders, but the proton folder only gets created (empty).

If I check the installed games/apps via Steam settings, I see that Proton Experimental is there, but Steam won't let me remove it (I was hoping that, after removing it, Steam would re-download everything).

I even tried with Steam flatpak and an OS reinstallation. Should I format the whole gaming partition and all the Steam folders at this point?

On Fedora 41 on Gnome in performance mode I was getting 100 degrees celcius regularly playing War Thunder on Vulkan. So this liquid metal compound has now lowered my temps down 20 degrees/avg. into manageable where I can use this i9 10885h quadro rtx 3000 laptop. I know putting a 5.3Ghz boost 8 core - 16 core with hyper threading was not an easy feat. It really needs the upgrade to be manageable on Linux. It now tops out at 94 degrees celcius and averages 90 in game and 80 in hangar. I'm getting 90fps most the time and sometimes it goes down to 60fps, but I have been using an auxiliary 1ms 144hz 2160p monitor. The 2160p screen native with laptop is faster because there is only hdmi2 output here so it costs to use auxiliary monitor, but is still usable. W/O gallium rubidium liquid metal compound it is not as usable and deff. would end up frying the chips.

But the good news is this is way better than MS. We are talking 55 fps versus 90 fps ~ 75fps. I was using vulkan on MS as well. On Linux Fedora 41 Gnome the processor just runs hotter on performance mode. So liquid metal compound is deff. necc. to make this work. You have to use Gnome. KDE Plasma won't run this fast.

Hey everyone, I've been running around like a headless chicken trying to figure out how to unlink my PSN account. It got linked because I was logged into another PS game (Miles Morales). I mostly play exclusively on my Steam Deck and would really appreciate some help with this. Maybe I’m just missing something obvious, but I’d still like some guidance.

I'm asking because now I can’t open the game without an Internet connection every single time, and that Steam command doesn’t seem to work for me.

I'm looking for a good RTS to play online (or LAN, using Tailscale or something) with friends that use Windows. I don't mind if it needs Wine/Proton to run.

I was thinking old stuff like AoE, but whatever comes to mind, let me know!

Thanks in advance

I am having issues with using the Zuiki Mascon Switch controller with the game Train Crew, which I run through Proton. The controller is intended for use with train simulators, and sends the same data to the computer as a Switch Pro controller - details here.

The primary issue is that while the controller does not have a right stick, Proton seems to interpret this as the stick being permanently stuck to the left. There is a thread on the Steam forums that mentions this issue. However, I tried running the .reg file provided but all it did was disable the controller entirely.

Does anyone have any knowledge that could help here?

I've checked ProtonDB and this seem to be a common issue with dual monitors. I've tried the --force-grab-cursor without success. Gamescope (which I've never used before) only opens a black window about 1/3 of the screen. Of course I've also tried full-screen and windowed mode without results. Any ideas?

I'm on Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon with a NVIDIA GTX 1070 8Gb using 550.120 drivers, if that matters.

Thanks in advance!

Just want to check what the best way is to play cyberpunk is it is apparently Linux compatible, however when I tried installing on lutris it doesn't seem to work properly.

Firstly, I am completely new to linux, so take that into account in your replies

I am currently running win 10 on an 500 gb ssd. However, I just got a new 1Tb ssd. I am planning to install linux Mint on that.

I don't know if I'll be able to fully switch to linux yet, so I would be using both operating systems regularly.

What should I do with storing my games? Should I make a shared partitiom on my new ssd, that both OS can access. If so what filesystem to use? Or rather just split my games between win and linux, and have a different partition for both? Is it possible to have Steam on Linux access the same knstallations of my games as Steam on Windows?

Feel free to give any other tips too regarding getting into linux gaming or dualbooting.

Hmmm... Yesterday, thanks to Lutris, I easily installed WOW Classic on my Debian laptop. Works just as well as under Windows.

Hi!

I've been on Linux since months now and wanted to try VR on it (I was dual booting Windows 11), would you guys recommend me ALVR or WiVRn as of right now?

I chase high frames but also clear visuals and no stutters/lag.

Thanks!

This mostly happens with Monster Hunter World, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero and Tekken 8. The latter two aren't as bad as I can usually get over an hour without crashing, but Monster Hunter World crashes without fail about 5-15 minutes into playing. Has anyone experienced this? Any help would be appreciated. Happy to provide logs and any other information if needed.

Nix config (if it helps): https://github.com/rossedwards64/dotfiles
Specs:

OS - NixOS 24.11

Proton version - Experimental

CPU - Ryzen 5 5600X

GPU - RX 7800XT
