Noticed for Certain Game Communities There Is a Huge Lack of Modding Guides and Videos for Linux
For example does anyone know how to mod StarCraft II? (I have Battle.net installed via Steam and using Proton 10.0 Compatibility layer for Pop!_OS Gaming Laptop), & other RTS Games: LOTR Games, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, Star Wars Empire At War
Can see plenty of guides and videos for Open World RPG's, and a few for FPS. But not much for RTS, other Strategy type game genres, Racing, and Horror to name a few
Project Idea: Maybe someone can make a website and list some of the best tutorials for Linux Gaming and Linux Game Modding as they come out? With people able to search a game on the site for guides/videos and where it differs per distro if at all

how to fix Project 64 with wine/proton
I think I've discovered how to get the N64 emulator Project 64 working great with Proton. Posting here because I haven't seen anyone else share this solution...
The main issue was that it simply showed a black screen when trying to launch roms. There is a workaround to minimize the game and refocus, but this was still unstable and unreliable for long sessions. It turns out if you enable the settings "Pause emulation when window is not active" and "Disable screensaver when running a ROM" Project 64 works as usual! Hopefully this helps someone out there, I always wished I could use Project 64 on linux and now I can. The reason I wanted P64 so much is because it supports some cheats and rom patches that Mupen/RMG does not (for example Banjo Kazooie 60fps, Mario 64 no music patch, etc.)
PS If you get "failed to load video device" when trying to go full screen, make sure your resolution and refresh rate in the video settings match exactly what is on your desktop.

Hybrid Graphics ASUS TUF A15
I recently got an ASUS TUF A15 (FA507NV) as my new daily drive laptop. Since I mostly use linux I've put it on there as the main operating system, everything works well except for the battery life.
From what I've gathered it's in performance mode where the dedicated gpu is receiving power at all times. So I tried setting it to Hybrid via supergfxctl, yet the dedicated card is still active. The integrated gpu serms to not be exposed to the system as a valid display adapter.
Apparently, Armoury Crate offers a setting to switch it to Hybrid and allow me access to the iGPU, but dual booting Windows and checking that gave no results either. Either the interface changed a lot and it's under a different name there or I'm looking in the wrong place.
As of right now I'm stuck on what to do to get it set up properly, any help is greatly appreciated.

My Batman Arkham City GOTY (Steam) is Crashing
Hi everyone, I've been trying to get Batman: Arkham City to run on my computer for four days, but it just won't start. It just stays in the initialization section and then goes back to the start button. I've used many Protons, including Proton GE, and I don't know what to do. I'm using the latest version of Pop OS.
The ProtonDB website lists several Proton versions I've tried, but the game hasn't started even once.

Weird graphical glitch/bug in StarCraft 2 DirectStrike
Hey Linux gamers and hello for SC2 DS lovers!
A week or two ago I encountered this graphical glitch in StarCraft2 DirectStrike that makes the game unplayable. Certain elements of the game appear covered by a large red square and also the cannon and the base shoots small red rectangles. The cannon or the base falling also makes the game crash when the camera is focused on it. I could reproduce it in Lutris and Steam and on Ubuntu 25.04 and 25.10. I assume it has to do something with the shaders. Did any of you encounter this lately? Have you found a solution for it?
Short system details:
- Ubuntu 25.10
- NVIDIA GA106M [GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q] Driver Version: 580.95.05
- Proton 10.0-2 (beta) - same results with other Proton versions.
- Vulkan v: 1.4.321

That's all folks. Project "Linux gaming pc" failed, sad but true.
For almost a year, I played exclusively on Linux. I tried gaming on Arch, Debian, and Fedora - always as a DIY-netinstall to avoid the distros' bloatware (I am into Linux since 1996, I am old). Okay, all the games in my Steam collection worked on Linux with Proton, but I kept encountering problems. The games simply didn't perform well with my NVidia card: micro-stuttering and lower FPS than on Windows (tried NV550, 575 and 580). I also found it annoying to have to go through the hassle when using Secure Boot. Now I've returned to Windows 11 as a pure gaming platform; everything runs so much better, faster and smoother. Yeah, this is sad but true: Linux is still not that advanced, at least with a NVidia graphics card. So I will use W11 for gaming again and for everything else, I use macOS, btw.

GPU passthrough
GPU passthrough
I have a rtx3080;in my windows 11 PC. Is there a way I can use that GPU to render games on another computer with fedora 42 on the same network. I don't want to use moonlight/sunshine. I want the games to be stored locally on the fedora computer but rendered on the 3080 on the windows computer.

Having trouble playing ARK Survival Evolved
Recently I've tried to download and install ASE through steam, but have had some issues. The linuxnative version of the game does work, but the playability and graphics leave a lot to be desired. I previously played around 200 hours before I swapped to linux around June or July, but after swapping and trying to get back into the game, even just downloading the original windows version to run through Proton has proven difficult.
Just trying to download the windows version through steam itself is, as far as I've attempted, impossible. Downloading a version of the game other than the linuxnative version presents a 0B download size, and this is confirmed when I click download and it finishes immediately, with the game's directory left entirely empty. I did try just clicking play regardless, but it spat an error about the missing game executable. I've tried resetting the download cache, restarting my PC multiple times, repairing the folder through steam, verifying the game files integrity, and even changing the download server location. None of it has worked.
I have briefly looked into using Steam Depot Downloader GUI to possibly download the executable directly, but have had trouble getting it to work as I'm still new to linux and can't get the dependencies working.
If anyone could help me out here, then I'd greatly appreciate it.

Controllers on CachyOS
I have an 8bitdo Ultimate 2.4 Ghz controller I've been trying to use on CachyOS, and I'm not able to get it working. It connects to the dongle, but it remains totally unresponsive. Has anyone else had the same problem with this controller?
Is there a recommended controller to use for Linux in general? I've been eyeing the Flydigi Vader Pro 5 when it comes out, and I still have some xbox controllers, but those are all developing joystick drift so I want to veer away from those permanently in the future.
