I'm using the Flatpak build of Vesktop, and only recently did videos and camera's stop displaying properly. I'm not sure whether it came from a Vencord update, or a Vesktop update, but I mainly want to know if anyone else has ran into this problem

Hi!

So I'm having an issue with my Steam Deck, which I use as my daily driver computer (so this is a big issue). I think a setting may have been messed up in the settings somewhere, but any time I plug in my external monitor in desktop mode the screen is just stark white. I think the resolution may be off in the settings or something as the issue started when I tried to launch Portal in desktop mode.

The problem is that in desktop mode I have my steam deck screen disabled in the KDE settings, so I can't troubleshoot this while my monitor is plugged in, nor can I access the saved monitor settings when my monitor is unplugged (it only lets me change settings for my steam deck). Is there a way to edit/reset my steam deck dual monitor settings while it is not plugged in to the monitor? If I could re-enable my Steam Deck monitor I can probably troubleshoot it from here.

FWIW, the monitor works perfectly in Gaming Mode, so I know it's not the deck, dock, cable, or monitor. It only goes stark white in Desktop Mode.

Thanks a bunch!

Hello, I'm having problems getting a wireless Xbox one controller to connect to my laptop running mint. I already tried installing ubuntu-xboxdrv and jstest-gtk and qjoypad

Jstest shows the controller as Xbox 360 wireless receiver, but it won't detect the input It shows 4 of those devices from js0 to js3.

the controller vibrates when connected via USB, but the Xbox light won't turn on.

It connects via Bluetooth, but neither jstest nor qjoypad detect the movements

I have another computer running mint too. The controller works just fine via USB, but I don't remember if I installed any of the above on it.

Any game that runs in exclusive fullscreen causes my right monitor to be disabled and also often crashing the game in the process. I've tried 3 different distros (Fedora, EndevourOS, and now Linux Mint) and they all exhibit this behavior.

I've tried using both the 535 and 545 drivers, and turning on Force Full Composition Pipeline in my NVIDIA settings.

I'm running an NVIDIA RTX 2060 12GB model from MSI and a i7 10700. Left monitor is a LG 24GN50W 1080p 144hz, and right is HP X27q 1440p 165hz

I bought a 5700 and unsurprisingly got the problem everyone has with it on 144hz monitors with the VRAM clock being maxed out leading to an awful idle power draw (almost 50W) and extra heat. On Windows it's usually fixed with CRU, but is there any way to fix it on Linux?

I wiped my pc this week to reinstall Arch. Steam and all my games are working fine no issues in that regard, only the in-game fps counter from Steam doesn't seem to work. The Steam overlay itself works just fine so I have no idea what the issue is.

Anybody else have this issue?

I'm quite new, obviously, I want to know if there is something where the moment I tab out of a game, it becomes unfocused, and the fps drops to like 10-20, similar to Background Application Max Frame Rate in nvidia

I'm using Bottles to play games in Linux. I enabled the Monitor Performance toggle in Bottles settings after installing MangoHud using the command flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud//23.08

By default it is only showing CPU usage, GPU usage, fps and frametimes. I looked up how to configure it on google and everything pints out to some file in /usr/share/doc/mangohud/MangoHud.conf but I dont have any mangohud folder inside /usr/share/doc.

So how do I configure it to show CPU and GPU temperatures and also VRAM usage?

The only thing thats changed about my system is booting from an HDD instead of an SSD SATA drive,

I just launched a game from EpicGames launcher using Lutris and im getting MUCH worse performance even at lower settings. Is there any imporvements I could make for optimization or perhaps im doing something wrong?

For the record, Ive installed nothing else but Lutris so if Im supposed to have some program that is typically common sense, assume I didnt install it because I know basically nothing about linux, Earlier I noticed that One game didnt even use My GPU and was instead running off my CPUs graphics, But Installing Nvidias drivers fixed that

How can I play valorant on linux and bypass it's anticheat and tpm2.0 requirements

foi gaming? which you guys choose? the performance are better than windows 11 for amd notebook in your opinion?

I recently installed my debian system on my laptop, and when I did some gaming on it, I found that there's no DLSS available. I googled a little bit and watched some Youtube videos and I think I find out the solution.

The main reason for no DLSS available is that the nvidia-driver (i.e. the package name) that was packaged by the Debian team seems to be problematic. And not only it got some problems, but it's also really, really old. The latest production version of nvidia driver is 550.78, and the one in official debian repo is 535.161.*. There's another driver in that official nvidia CUDA repo, which is 550.54.15 but this one is not recommended since it's for those computing tasks, like ML. The most frustrated thing is, both 550.54.15 and 535.161.* are problematic for using the DLSS in games.

So I choose to reinstall the system again and this time I go straightly with the .run file from the Nvidia Website. In most cases, this method is NOT RECOMMENDED. But for those who want DLSS when playing their games, this is the ONLY WAY TO GO.

The steps to get the .run file installed correctly is fairly simple for me personally and I want to share the experience with you:

Step 1: Install the necessary dependencies.
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y; # this is to get a whole update for your system to get the latest avaible packages and then upgrade your system.

sudo apt install linux-headers-amd64 cmake pkg-config pkg-config:i386 libglvnd-dev libglvnd-dev:i386 libc6 libc6:i386 # Install the depencies, including both the 32-bit and 64-bit libraries.

Step 2: Download the latest driver from the official Nvidia Unix Driver Website:

Unix Driver Archive, get the latest one.

Step 3: Go to your the folders where you download the driver and then open your terminal and then type these two command:

chmod +x ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-VERSION.run # Make this .run file executable

sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-VERSION.run

Step 4: Go through the installation steps and make sure you read everything carefully. In most cases, you only need to press the "Continue" and then let the driver install wizard cook.

Step5: After the driver says something like "Nvidia Driver (Version Number Here) is installed correctly", you can just reboot your system and boom ! there you have it. The driver now is installed correctly. You can use nvidia-smi to see if it's work or not.

Thanks for taking time to read such long post, I appreciate your patience and if you have some questions I will do my best to answer them. Have a good day guys.

What is the best linux Distro for gaming games Like COD Forza horizon 5 etc

Hey, so... as the title suggests, its my first time using Linux, since the w11 upcoming updates are starting to scare me, I decided id give linux a shot. I tried to install Pop OS as my first choice but without success, so I decided I - as a newbie - will be sticking with the most popular ones for now. So, is there really a difference in Mint or Ubuntu for gaming performance or driver compatibilty? My laptop has an Ryzen 5 PRO 25000, 8 gigs of ram and integrated vegas gpu, I use it more to play indie titles or older games, but still do enjoy a smooth experience.

Any advice?

i'm new user on linux and my distro at the moment is arch (BTW) ar first i used hyprland as my DE i love it because it was insane and Beautiful but it was awful to use as daily DE and i switch to KDE and i love it.
do U have the same experience or not? what do U think?

hi i was using vesktop for a long time but i dont wanna use it anymore because its too buggy does anyone know an alternative for audio screen sharing. it would be nice if it hast gentoo support
