So I want to play a game (for example katana zero), but the cursor keeps going to my second monitor and when I press something there it just minimizes the game (also a thing I would want to fix).
So I wanted to like know a way to lock the cursor in the current monitor so I wouldn't need to worry about this, preferably with like a keyboard shortcut.

I use arch btw.

• I have tried: gamescope --force-grab-cursor &command& (and yes I did install gamescope using yay -S gamescope)
• dualscreen-mouse-utils, it didn't even launch.

I'm in the market for a new GPU and I'm cautiously curious about the AMD RX 9070 XT.

One thing I don't read much about, is how Sunshine performs with it. On my current NVidia GPU (RTX 2070 Super) it performs and looks really well. I've always read that AMD's encoder isn't quite as good as NVEnc.

Has anyone tried this combo yet, and does it perform well? Does it impact the in-game performance much?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone!

I've switched to linux this week, currently running cachy os, arch based.

I've got a 4090rtx notebook that I use with an external monitor for work and to have some background video while gaming.

For some reason, whenever I play a game with more than 1 monitor enabled, my fps halves, if I run for example, Marvel Rivals with only one monitor, I get around 100-110fps. As soon as I run it with 2 or 3 monitors, I barely get 50.

Anyone knows what could be provoking this, or if it's a known issue with nvidia?

Thanks in advance!

I would like to know what the anti-aliasing is like in your games with Nvidia, because for me I feel that even with ATI anti-aliasing activated with fxaa, taa etc., the game has very strong anti-aliasing, what is it like for you?

Are you able to use a vm for online windows only games? I really don't want to duelboot, so if anyone has experience trying that, did it work?

It's not really brand new. It's 12 years old. It originally had Windows 8 on it. My dad got it way back in 2012 for his job at Captech. His company ended up letting him keep it and it sat in his closet for 13 years. I found it and set up the latest version of Ubuntu on it. For anyone curious its got a 128GB Sata HDD, a GT 730M with 1 GIGABYTE of VRAM, Intel Core i7-4700MQ 4 x 2.4 - 3.4 GHz and 16 gigs of DDR3. Minecraft 1.21.5 runs at a pretty stable 60fps with some dips. Using proton on steam I get around 30fps on Borderlands 2, half life 2 runs well, SPORE runs GREAT which is awesome, and enter the gungeon runs well too. I have a handful of emulators spanning from the GBA to the PS2 that all run great TOO! Ubuntu itself is also a very smooth experience on this laptop. The most exciting part of this is that I set up my own minecraft server on it, the 16 gigabytes of RAM and not terrible CPU really lends itself well to that. For anyone curious the laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad T540p.

I saw a post from a guy yesterday pretty much having a "meltdown" (metaphorically) because Halo Infinite got update and it broke the game on Linux. Whenever this happens, of course we should reach out devs to notify it and it is normal we ask here if there is a weird issue on our end or actually something broken with the game, but bear this in mind: -If a game has support, unless devs come out and say "No more support for Linux" (like Apex team and R* did), the game will eventually get online back in some hours. Already happened like 3 times with Fallguys, 1 with Gears 5 and now this time with Halo Infinite.

I read people saying MS wants to "harm" Linux and stomp it, but facts say otherwise. The same company who now wants to be everywhere, even on their "real nemesis" (PlayStation), will target Linux as a potential risk? Not only that, but pretty much every single Xbox game has online support on Linux while other third party one would expect should be interested in, does not.

Let's chill a bit. I know this shouldn't happen and we should complain to get access as soon as possible and this way companies will care more whenever they work on these updates, but it is not a drama unless we are properly disclosed by the devs.

Have fun!

I'm on the latest openSUSE Tumbleweed running rocket league through steam Proton 9.0-4 and noticing a big audio delay (about 300ms-400ms if i had to guess).

Other games work like a dream but i can't figure out why rocket league in specific has this audio delay problem.

I'm on PulseAudio PipeWire 1.4.2 audio driver.

I tried to search on google and didn't find anything on my specific situation. Everyone online recommends sticking to PulseAudio so i haven't tried switching audio drivers.

Any ideas for what i should try would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello, I am trying to run Skyrim with a Wabbajack modlist. Most of those would require a 40GB pagefile under Windows.
Will Skyrim (and other games for that matter) use my swap partition like they would a pagefile? If not, what would be the correct way to configure them so they do use the partition or at least a swapfile?

Thank you in advance.

I'm using a laptop with an i7 processor and an rtx 3060 with Unbuntu installed on it to play Red dead redemption 2 via steam proton (version 9.0-4) it works most of the time however randomly it's begun freezing at random areas, sometimes it's when the game starts some times it's in a menue, I'm not really sure, I'm new to Linux gaming and would love some feed back on this
