When I'm trying to play SF6 on Steamdeck performance is good, but input lag is kinda terrible - both on built-in pad, and different leverless controllers. On my PC with Manjaro everything works flawless, even better than on Windows.

I've been playing cs for a while now (about 3 years, yes I know, sanity going to 0 gradually), and was sick of performance on Losedows: Micro-stutters especially, and generally low fps. But I'm also a huge Linux fan ever since I got my first rasp pi some years ago.

Card 4060 ti / CPU Ryzen 5 5600X (Mid range build)

In a game like CS every ms counts, in the top right you can see average fps but most importantly, max draw time. Which if I understand correctly, you want to be bellow 10ms if using a display 120Hz +. The lower the better.

What is good about it tho is that it's native so benchmarks don't rely on proton version or wine, lutris. Also using the same in game settings.

Again only steps I did for setup on Arch after 'archinstall' :

Disable compositor in KDE settings, select x11 in sddm, and launched the Nvidia settings app once (set to performance) + downloaded recommended libs. Also 'prime-run' in launch options of said games.

Made sure to have amd-ucode, and cpupower profile to perf.

I see daily posts on many communities but I'm unsure that these steps have been followed each time. (I just saw that all the instructions on archwiki are about x11 for Nvidia, so seemed logical).

For me it's basically simple to double performance and CPU/GPU usage is lower in mission-center than on windows counterpart.

12 ms / 200 fps average on Windows.

5 ms / 400 fps on Arch.

I know these aren't truly benchmarks or in depth analysis but it does go to show how much setting up the right way is important for hardware and how the OS actually can be optimized quite extensively. It also reflects personal experience with trying a lot of different stuff to get to this end-result.

I also did the basic windows optimizations, but with little results to show for.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that if Valve have taken the Arch road for SteamOS, you can too on your own hardware and get incredibly cool results even with the devil green marketing team (Nvidia), and that it's actually not that complicated as people make it out to be <3 Peace

On my desktop computer I have to plug in a USB adapter (TP-Link Archer T3U) for wifi since my motherboard doesn't support it and there is no way I can physical link my computer to Ethernet either directly to the router or through a wall plug. For TP-Link products it used to be even worse, for a while the Linux kernel didn't support it, and you had to download a third party driver via the AUR.

I was able to avoid this issue for a long stretch of time by being able to use ethernet, but I am now living in a building that won't let me use this option, so I'm stuck to going back to the old way. The internet connection however, works fine, except for using Steam. I can watch movies or youtube, do college assignments, torrent, check my bank account, etc, for hours on end without any issues, but as soon as I start Steam it's basically up in the air if its gonna kill my connection or not. Typically it only goes out during an active download but can sometimes die if Steam is merely idle.

I don't why Steam is being singled out here. Like I said before everything else that requires an internet connection works, and I've used SSH and torrenting to download files that are equal in size to Steam games, so I doubt the router is being overwhelmed since it can clearly handle it when Steam is inactive. I found a post on the Arch Forums that recommended setting the BSSID to 5ghz only for my connection, but this only worked short term. Anyone had this issue before or know how to fix it?

Hi all!

Like the title states. My GF would typically play a steam game on my PC in the morning when I went off to work, however my new job is basically Remote which means I am always on the PC. Is there a way where I can set a game on a different monitor and still have the controller focused on that game window while I am working on the other monitor? I've tried obvious steps messing with steams input settings, but cannot get it to stay focused. I know its possible for some things as when on a Dolphin emulator and unfocused the controller fully works on the game when I am doing something else.

I have 4x of the newer gen xbox wireless controllers. At the time I purchased them, I was on windows and was riddled with dropouts for them. The windows Xbox accessories app wouldn't connect to them half the time, and I had so many issues updating the firmware. Even after updating the firmware and purchasing the xbox dongle, they still had frequent dropouts on windows. Got very frustrating for Elden ring boss fights (killed one of my closest Malenia attempts).

I'm now on linux and the controllers continue to have dropouts. Do people have a more reliable experience with the 8BitDo controllers, or have recommendations for any other high quality, reliable controllers? My top priority is consistent wireless connection. On bazzite btw.

Now for some context; I have two Nvidia gpus. A 3060 and a 3090. I mostly use the 3090 for compute, but sometimes I just want to play some games on it. Issue is, I think EAC games (Elden Ring Nightreign for example) won't load properly and close immediately.

Weirdly enough; this is even the case when I don't use another gpu, but leave my 3090 in the non-primary pci slot. (I use an X570 Taichi pci8x8).

Moving the cards around isn't exactly an option either since the 3060 is smaller and blocks less airflow compared to the 3090.

I've tried using DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090" %command%, but that just gives a blackscreen (nvidia-smi does show it being used tho)

Also changing my x11 config to render on the 3090 while passing display onto the 3060 does work; but again I think it gets blocked by EAC (?).

It does work fine in games that don't use EAC like Baldurs Gate 3.

I was hoping anyone here has some more experience on this subject; although it might be very niche.

I hate having to dual boot windows in order to play PUBG,honestly its the only game I can still play with my friends now that Im growing older,and its bugging me so much having to dual boot in order to play it. Is valve ever going to make the change and have it mandatory linux+windows on their games,or we are never getting it for linux. Also is there any way to bypass anticheat and play the game? Honestly Im desperate,any solution is good enough for me,I just want to completely wipe windows at this point.

I have an OLD Win10 laptop. Approx 10yrs. It works well enough for all my requirements. I will be upgrading in Q2 2026. Till then I want to continue to browse web, watch movies, write some code and play DotA2 on it. It barely manages to keep 60fps. I want to switch to linux before Win10 end of support, as it does have important documents (imp to me, anyways) and I don't think adding an antivirus would be good for my old friend. So I want to switch to linux now.

Concern is that I want to continue playing DotA2 and as my dear old pc is more a sailboat than a rocketship, I would not like to loose fps. It might also be good for me as I wish to learn about OS concepts and Linux System programming.

I have little experience having used ubuntu for less than a year and sometimes troubleshooting my gf's linux mint laptop.

One now on my radar is Dragon Lands, a sweet looking mixture of an incremental game about creature collection, farming, crafting and automation.

Hey so I've been looking into the Nvidia driver situation and how NVK is the new open source driver that's being developed and it'll be a significant improvement over the older noveau. My question is how will things such as DLSS and other proprietary things be able to run? Is there some kind of plan or strategy to deal with that? Or is it the ball is in Nvidias court with regards to that stuff?

I'm struggling with setting up a headless gaming server for remote streaming and wondering if anyone has cracked this nut.

The goal: Stream games from a dedicated PC in my basement to various devices (laptop, different monitors, etc.) at different resolutions. Think GeForce Now but self-hosted.

The problem: Sunshine + Wayland is a nightmare. Pipewire window capture isn't supported, and the KMS capture method is getting deprecated. Even when I hack KMS into kind of working, I run into logind/seat management issues where the session can't access DRM devices properly.

What I've tried: - Using EDID emulators + xrandr to fake displays - works but super janky - Gamescope for isolated sessions - seat permission hell - Various systemd/udev workarounds - temporary fixes at best

The core issue is that I need to capture a window at arbitrary sizes - sometimes 2560x1664 for my laptop, sometimes 3440x1440 for an ultrawide, sometimes 1920x1080, etc. The client resolution should drive the stream resolution dynamically. Changing the actual display resolution isn't viable because: 1) I'd need to pre-program every possible resolution into the EDID emulator, 2) switching resolutions mid-stream breaks everything, and 3) it's just not how modern streaming should work.

The ideal solution would be capturing a virtual gamescope window at whatever resolution the client requests, but that seems impossible on current Wayland. Steam's own streaming uses pipewire for this, but Sunshine doesn't support it yet. Disappointingly, this is trivial on Windows.

Before I give up and fall back to Debian on X11, has anyone solved remote game streaming on Wayland? X11 would work but it's a pretty terrible workaround since it doesn't support HDR and who knows how much longer distros will even ship it. Are there alternatives to Sunshine that handle this better?

Currently running Bazzite (a Fedora-based distro), AMD GPU, willing to try other distros if needed.
