Hey all. As context, I've recently started studying cloud computing/virtualization and eventually Linux came up. I was told to use Ubuntu on a VM just to get a handle of the basics and stuff, but honestly, I really want to actually switch to Linux itself. Being an avid gamer since childhood, I've been on the edge for the longest time if I do switch to Linux (regardless of which distro I choose) or not. Now, I know that the gaming scene on Linux has become much better as of the past couple of years but still, these are just a couple of questions I have, how to go about my transition if I do choose it and the state of multiplayer games.

I read the FAQ and while it assured that any distro listed there would be fine, I'm still at a bit of a dead end. I still have an year in my CS course left and would like to use most of the stuff that should probably come up, but also still have functionality with games (this probably sounds really stupid to ask). I'm willing to learn Linux if it means I can game in peace, but even so, I will be unable to dedicate as much time as perhaps most of you have for the more complication versions. Also the recent 32-bit proposal from Fedora (although to be clear I do not have much information on it).

The other question: What is the state of multiplayer games? Personally, this is just some expert advice in a way. I did my research and usually only similar answers came up. Even checked ProtonDB and Are We Anti-Cheat Yet, but still what better research than to ask the people themselves? That's the point of this question.

TL;DR On a dead-end about which distro would suit my current needs while also having gaming functionality without injecting itself too much into my schedule to learn and tweak it AND the state of multiplayer games.

I know it sounds like I'm asking to be spoon-fed/assured about my choices, but that's not my intention, although I wouldn't fault you for thinking that way. It's only that I'm just a Linux noob and unsure of how to go about my choices. Willing to get hands dirty, just don't know where. Any and all help is appreciated.

Hi, how to play Minecraft in Linux with wayland and nvidia GPU ??

I tried to launch it using TLauncher (yea, I don't have license) and it work but not good.

For example "All Of Fabric" modpack don't launch (it's crushing). Forge Modpacks work but when I include Emebeddium it's not work. Also when I turn on shaders it's also crashing after few seconds.

And sorry if my English very bad:)

Hey all I'm not 100% sure where to put this so please remove it if not up to par. I got the PS5 controller about 6 months ago. The controller just suddenly stopped holding a charge. No matter how long or what I do it will not charge. The cables are quality, I've tried multiple USB devices, portable battery banks, 2 different PCs. It just dies about 15 seconds after unplugging.

Most of my use case is a BT controller for steam link on my Apple TV but sometimes I use it wired to my PC. I obviously can't do the former with no battery.

I went with the PS controller since they work on Linux with Sony providing driver support in the kernel. The DS4 worked great but battery life is subpar for when I'm couch gaming.

Anyway I'm trying to "reset" the controller and it won't work. The pinhole in the back did nothing. Every other guide I see relates to owning a PS5 which I don't have. I was wondering if anyone is aware of any tools or aomething I can use to maybe reset the controller and see if it'll start holding a charge. Given the hid sony drivers I'm sure there's some terminal command I can use to find some helpful information to see if maybe this is a hardware issue but I don't know where to start.

If anyone has any info they can help with I would appreciate it. Thank you

Resolvendo Problemas com a Epic Games Store no Linux com Placa de Vídeo Dedicada

Recentemente, enfrentei um problema ao tentar abrir a Epic Games Store no meu laptop com Linux, especificamente na distribuição Bazzite com GNOME. O aplicativo não estava abrindo corretamente; ele apenas carregava e fechava sem aviso. Inicialmente, eu havia direcionado a Epic Games Store para abrir com a placa de vídeo dedicada (NVIDIA RTX 3050), mas isso não funcionou. Após várias tentativas de solução, incluindo a instalação e desinstalação do aplicativo várias vezes, descobri que mudar para a placa de vídeo integrada (Intel UHD Graphics) resolveu o problema.

Aqui estão os passos que segui para solucionar a situação:

1. Configurações do NVIDIA Control Panel:
   • Acesse o NVIDIA Control Panel e verifique as configurações. Inicialmente, eu havia configurado para usar a GPU dedicada, mas isso estava causando o problema.
2. Mudança para a Placa de Vídeo Integrada:
   • Após perceber que a GPU dedicada não estava funcionando corretamente com a Epic Games Store, mudei para a placa de vídeo integrada, o que resolveu o problema de carregamento e fechamento do aplicativo.
3. Drivers Atualizados:
   • Certifique-se de que os drivers da NVIDIA estão atualizados, embora isso não tenha sido o foco da solução neste caso.
4. Verificação de Configurações do Lutris:
   • No Lutris, verifiquei as configurações do jogo para garantir que ele estava configurado corretamente.

Após seguir esses passos e mudar para a placa de vídeo integrada, consegui fazer a Epic Games Store funcionar corretamente, melhorando a experiência de uso.

Se você está enfrentando um problema semelhante, recomendo tentar mudar para a placa de vídeo integrada. Espero que isso ajude outros usuários a resolverem suas dificuldades com a Epic Games Store no Linux

I'm switching from Windows to Linux, but when going through videos and tutorials, I noticed that I had to wipe my PC completely. I want to keep all of my data and simply transfer it to the new OS without wiping anything except all traces of Windows. How can I go about doing that if I can at all?

Hi everyone. Today i tried to play on cs 1.6 gaming server by meat74[.]com (this she can be fishing!!!) project and i can say:

Admins don't understand what does it mean "linux". They banned me without reason (of course by reason, but this reason sounds like: " bro, you don't use core.dll, is that because you are f$#king cheater, isn't it? You shouldn't laughing with us. We are really serious project!"

Cs 1.6 officially playable on linux (i can play on servers with vac). This guys think that "if we have our own shit-anticheating-system, nobody can play with chests" but they don't understand that this anti cheat parody bans legitimate gamers...

They think: we are always right, you can always be found fault with

I keep getting this message: "could not find all required packages: [names of all of the packages]". I'm new to arch so I don't know exactly what might have happened to the package (I see they didn't get updated in a long time) or if I'm doing something wrong. Is there anyway to bypass this problem, or is it there any alternatives for this?
I'm using arch with cachyos-repos and kernel (cachyos-v3/linux-cachyos 6.15.3-3 stable) for gaming optimization right now, and I know there's the cachyos-gaming-meta package but this just sends me to dependencies hell ("The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies: cachyos-gaming-meta").

Does anyone knows what to do?

What is a good atomic/immutable distro geared towards gaming, that is NOT Fedora based like Nobara and Bazzite?

I've been using popos for years and haven't had issues, but due to the incessant push for Bazzite here, I'm tempted to try it. But due to the 32 bit fedora news I won't touch fedora distros on my gaming PC.

I'm running dolphin on kubuntu 24.04 through lutris. Trying to get sengoku basara 3 to run but the game gets to the save file loading screen and reports 'an application error has occured'. I havent done anything to dolphin other than install it through lustris. According to the dolphin wiki the game has no issues and ive been emulating it on windows for years with no issues.

I can't find anything about this issue online, any suggested ideas?
