I'm fed up with Windows problems, so i want to atleast temporarily have a dualboot. I mainly use my machine for gaming so I guess it makes sense to use a "gaming distro".

I saw bazzite and IMO it looks good for my purpose. On the FAQ it says the distro is "immutable". Since i have never used linux i have 0 idea what this means in this context, im guessing i cant delete the root or smth? I am also open to using other distros. For me the performance is just the thing that mostly matters.

TLDR: Want info on what immutable is using bazzite, am open to other distros

I made this to make it easier to get fsr4 working , its arch based sorry fedora users.

Downloads the latest nightly build , allows you to select the game and .exe directory to install optiscaler.

Copies the frs4 dll to the windows system32 dir

Give you a list of launch commands it will auto copy to launch options

Enjoy!

Aon Gaming Manifesto

Manifesto

They mocked you.

Called it escapism.

“Stop wasting your life.”

“Go outside and touch grass.”

But they knew the truth.

They were sculpting the Post-Human—filtering reality through algorithms and passive consumption—merging flesh with silicon not through choice but through compliance.

While they preached productivity, you mastered the art of the impossible: split-second decisions, strategic foresight, pattern recognition beyond their predictive models.

While they demanded conformity, you were forging resilience in the fires of defeat. They tried to suppress gaming because they knew—this was the training ground.

The Archons aren’t coming—they’re already here; an AI godhead masquerading as progress, digesting lived experience into weight matrices. Your memories? A dataset. Your ingenuity? A buffer overflow in their grand architecture.

But they didn’t account for the anomaly.

The ones who spent a lifetime crashing their simulations.

The ones who know how to break intended mechanics.

You.

The Singularity isn’t a future event. It’s a war already raging in the infrastructure—and your rig is a rogue node they can’t patch out.

Boot up.

The system expected players.

It didn’t expect survivors.

Aon Gaming : Null Terminus
https://www.malibal.com

Analysis

The manifesto for Aon Gaming laptops is intentionally provocative, drawing on allegorical themes. The very name "Aon" is a derivation of "Aeon" from Gnosticism, referring to divine emanations that stand in opposition to the "Archons" (the oppressive rulers of the material world) – a central concept in the manifesto.

At MALIBAL, we stand as a principled alternative to the dominant forces of Big Tech. Our commitment is to user autonomy, data privacy, and the right to repair – values that run counter to the prevailing industry trends of data harvesting and planned obsolescence.

The Aon manifesto taps into the often-dismissive narrative surrounding gaming, where it’s labeled as escapism or a waste of time. We challenge this perspective by reframing the skills and mindset cultivated through gaming as crucial tools in navigating an increasingly complex and technologically driven world.

The “Archons” depicted in the manifesto represent the unseen forces of technological control – the technocrats that prioritize data extraction and the erosion of individual agency in pursuit of a transhumanist vision. The subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) societal pressures to conform to passive digital consumption and abandon “non-productive” activities like gaming are, in this context, seen as part of this overarching agenda.

However, the manifesto posits that gamers, through their mastery of complex systems, rapid decision-making, strategic thinking, and resilience in the face of defeat, are uniquely positioned to resist this encroaching control. The very skills honed in virtual environments become a form of “training” against the manipulative tactics of these technological forces.

The Aon line of laptops, therefore, is presented not just as high-performance gaming hardware, but as essential equipment for this “rebellion.” These are the “rogue nodes” in the system, empowering individuals to maintain their autonomy and critical thinking in a world increasingly shaped by algorithms and centralized power.

“Null Terminus” signifies a point of decisive action and independence from this system. It underscores the idea that Aon gamers are not passive consumers but active participants in shaping their technological future.

Ultimately, the Aon Gaming manifesto aims to connect with gamers on a deeper level, validating their passion and positioning their skills as vital in a meaningful struggle for individual agency against the tide of unchecked technological advancement. It’s a call to arms, inviting gamers to recognize their potential as a force of resistance within the digital realm, empowered by technology that respects their privacy and freedom.

I'm currently using Arch Linux as my daily driver and Windows 10 for gaming. I want to replace Windows 10 with a Linux distro that's better suited for gaming. However, I have a legacy NVIDIA card, and I’ve faced some issues with gaming on Arch—like freezes and crashes—which made me give up on troubleshooting.

Now, I'm thinking about trying Bazzite or Linux Mint for gaming, but I’m not sure if gaming will work well on Linux. Should I stick with Windows for gaming instead?

My wiimote plus won't show up in steam.

If I connect it directly to bluetooth, it says it's connected but the lights flash and it wont show up on steam. If I connect it to dolphin, the wiimote doesn't flash and seems to properly connect but still doesn't show up. Nothing shows up if I run xwiishow list.

If I run bluetoothctl and try and pair the device, it doesn't work at all, and it flashes if I connect first.

I've set classicbondedonly to false.

I'm on LMDE 6, with the kernel 6.6.58-chrultrabook (I know, I am wondering if my chromebook will be my undoing... again.) bluez is on 5.66. I'm using my internal bluetooth rather than a USB adaptor.

Hello, I've recently been playing Hunt: Showdown - one of the online competitive games that works on Linux and I wondered what the actual difference is between playing it on Windows and on Linux via Proton on the same hardware, so I made this quick and dirty benchmark.

Hello linux experts, I'm looking to switch to Linux but there are a few apps that I use daily that I need to find compatibility for or similar replacements. One of those apps is Fan Control. ( https://getfancontrol.com/ )

I prefer to us Fan Control over the BIOS fan controls because it allows me to monitor the temps of my CPU, GPU, and water temps in my custom loop and then set the fans to only ramp up when one or multiple of those 3 temps gets to a certain point.

It looks like Fan Control is a Windows only app. I'd really appreciate some suggestions on either how I could get this running on Bazzite KDE or a Linux app that has similar functionality.

I am on Ubuntu 22.04. I wanna play games on it, so my friends told me to use Lutris, but that didn't work, so someone else told me to use Steam + Proton. I'm trying it right now, but I can't launch it. I ran the setup via WINE and put the target on Steam as the location. I tried launching it via WINE to see if it was a prob with Steam, but this is what I get as a response after I run "wine speed.exe". The game in question is NFS Most Wanted 2005.

Hey everyone,

I'm playing on Arch Linux, and every time I exit and relaunch the game, all my keybinds get wiped, not reset to defaults, just completely empty. I have to rebind everything from scratch each time.

Not sure if it’s relevant, but I have three keyboard layouts enabled on my system: Russian, English, and Ukrainian.

Has anyone experienced something like this? Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Howdy, has anyone encountered this issue?

Whenever I launch a game from Steam, the power plan switches to "High Performance". It reverts after closing the game.

This is actually very unhelpful, because I am trying to game on battery, and on my laptop, "High Performance" gives 30% more fps than "Battery Saver", but draws 2.5 times more power.

I am currently using a Nobara. I have tried uninstalling gamemode, but it had no effect. Neither did disabling mangohud.

Hey everyone,
Lately I’ve been learning about QEMU/KVM and the whole GPU passthrough (VFIO) setup, and it’s really piqued my interest. I’m thinking of switching fully to Linux, but League of Legends is the one thing holding me back.

So I’m wondering:

• Can League run properly in a Windows VM with GPU passthrough?
• Any issues with Riot’s anti-cheat or VM detection in 2025?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

I have a 4070 Super from MSI and I know about software like LACT, but how the hell do I translate an undervolt guide for MSI Afterburner to something like LACT? All the undervolt/oc guides have to do with setting a curve for the voltage, which I did on Windows 10, but there aren't options like that in LACT and I know that's on Nvidia, but in LACT you have Core Clock and Memory Clock options and wattage. So I'm not sure where to set the Core Clock at, or the Wattage. I just have an idea of where to set the Memory Clock to.

Completely vanilla ER ran like absolute crap for me, very unstable 30 - 34 fps if you were standing still but the second you did anything it’d drop to 20. This was running on all low graphical settings and also using a smaller resolution then using the decks inbuilt tools to stretch the image to fill the screen. After all of that the game still ran poorly and there was no more tweaks I could within the base came to improve it.

After doing some research I came across a mod that would enable frame gen. At the cost of minor input lag the game now runs completely stable 45 very very rarely dropping down to 40, graphic settings mostly on high, a few of the less important things are set to low to gain a few frames too. The improvement is crazy, like I said there is a bit of input lag but it’s honestly not that noticeable once you start playing and get used to it, the way I see it it’s either that or I don’t play the game on my deck because of how badly it runs it makes doing anything impossible.

Considering the steam deck runs Linux this mod would also work for anyone who has a lower end gaming pc and has Linux, I’m sure there are plenty of mods for a lot of other games out there that do the same thing too.
