I'm going to try and explain my issue best I can. I can provide any extra information or logs that may help find out why I can't get HDR working.

Basically seeking help from people with a similar stack to what I have listed in the title.

I'm running cachyos and tend to install games using bottles, I am not using Steam. I have no issue running most games and I'm confident in what's required to get things running on Linux in general.

The issue is that I cannot get any games to recognise my HDR display and therefore toggle HDR on.

HDR is toggled on in gnome 48 display settings and looks great.

I have tried launching games using both gamescope and gamescope-git which I installed from the cachyos repo. I have also tried using gamescope via flatpak. I've tried bottles and heroic launcher.

HDR works fine in windows so feel like I can probably rule out my display and AVR as the problem.

I'm at the point where I'm starting to think HDR/gamescope is broken or I just need to wait a few months for gamescope/driver fixes.

Info below (sorry about the formatting)

Runner: proton 9 26 DXVK: 2.6 VKD3D: 2.14.1

Launch command:

`ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=1 gamescope -f -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 3840 -H 2160 --hdr-enabled -- flatpak run --command=bottles-cli com.usebottles.bottles run -p DaysGone -b 'ge-proton9-26'`

Some snippets below from logs that I think could be relevant. Can post full logs.

Personally, i have been running a ntfs sata ssd as my games storage for almost 3 years now, and i have never had any issue.
Steam finds the library both on windows and linux, i am able to install a game on linux, play it, then reboot into windows and play it there without reinstalling anything (even if i rarely do it).

I recently saw a thread about how you should not do this, but nobody was able to tell me why...

What am i risking?

Hello,

I recently tried to switch over to arch from windows and I would love to use my razer mouse. I own the wired version with swappable side plates. However the side buttons, in the 12 panel setup, apart from the 1 and 2 which register "back" and "forward", do not register any output at all.

I tried looking around for a solution but couldn't find any that worked.

Has anyone experienced the same? How did you solve the issue?
Thank you for your time

cpu amd ryzen 7 2700x

memory 16gb

gpu nvidia geforce gtx 980

for the past 3 years I've used this same hardware and ran: POP!_OS 22.04 with cinnamon version 5.2.7. I would always run well games that are not so light, including even Helldivers 2, probably the heaviest.

However, in the past month, while developing a fairly simple game on unity, I started to experience increasingly frequent lag spikes when using that program as well as with 3d games.

Those episodes include mouse pointer being laggy, sometimes the screen going black for 2-3 seconds, the audio (whether from the program or from a youtube video in the background) going mute also for 2-3 seconds and then coming back.

On Unity, I took some people's suggestion and tried running a profiler, which would always show the problem was of the "others" category, which doesn't really help. the standalone version of the game was also a bit laggy on linux

from time to time I would reboot on windows 10 and test things, and everything would always run fairly smoothly, including the standalone windows version of the game.

Then someone suggested me installing Mint, which I did, reinstalled the drivers and all and while the performance seem to be better, the problem still persists.

Just by browsing on steam I experience some lag on the mouse pointer. Same with Unity.

Before moving to mint, htop would show huge spikes on the CPU cores, some of them reaching 100%. I haven't tested it again since.

I tried changing the nvidia drivers. Tried 550, 535, 470, but the problem doesn't go away.

I tried updating Unity.

any insights?

Driveloop: Survivors is another attempt to blend the survivor-like bullet heaven whatchamacallit genre made popular by Vampire Survivors with vehicles. It's out now in Early Access so I took it for a spin.

How I can use NTsync in Proton?

OS: Fedora 41

DE: KDE

GPU: Nvidia 3060 Ti (Driver Ver. - 570.133)

I did not have this issue before but probably about 2-3 months ago I began to think my Dualsense controller had stick drift again. Only to realize one day when I used it wired that everything was fine.

Over bluetooth it's almost like inputs get stacked sometimes so 3 small shifts to the left turns into a big swooping turn that I can't pull out of. Hence it made me think it was stick drift.

Other times there is just a huge delay between when I press a button and it registers. Recently using a Windows system I update the controllers firmware with Sony's program. However, that did not solve the issue. Currently I just use the controller wired, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to why this may be happening.
