Anyone else having this type of issue? I just upgraded from 25.04 to 25.10, and now almost all games that run via Steam/Proton, AND running on Wine without Steam, do not register mouse clicks.

I've been looking for a new headset for gaming which support wireless surround sound (idc abt the 7.1 bs) i am currently rocking the corsair hs70 which worked great but its starting to break and I want a new one in the midrange price.

Hi all,

I have installed Heroic v2.18.1 via Flatpak. I have also installed Gamescope 23.08 with flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.gamescope and selecting 23.08. Am running Fedora 42.

When I attempt to go to settings for my game (Battle.net in Heroic, for Diablo IV) the Gamescope tab just says "We could not find a compatible version of Gamescope. Install Gamescope's flatkpack package with runtime and restart Heroic." despite having already done that.

I've attempted to uninstall and reinstall Gamescope which affects no change.

Tried googling for this but everything just says to install 23.08 for Gamescope version 2.18 so I'm not getting anywhere in my search. thanks for any help!

Valve released the latest stable update for Steam across Desktop, Steam Deck / SteamOS and we have all the changes here for you to see.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

Was looking at LMDE as an option since I have no interest in an Ubuntu based ditro or using snap, but that got me thinking, "Why not just use straight Debian?" Is Debian that much more difficult or tedious to set up for daily use/ gaming? Though it's not a huge factor, I'm not a huge fan of the look of a cinnamon DE, and actually think I like xfce more.

I'd appreciate anyone's input who has experience with the two and their differences/ benefits/ downsides. I'd be coming from Windows 10 LTSC, and my main priorities are stability and ease of use with minimal bloat.

Edit: I understand some tweaking will likely be needed for better gaming performance and am unafraid of that prospect.

So basicly I want to play with keyboard and mouse that supports only controller. Is there way to do this?

Valve have done this pretty quietly, but they're discontinuing the last Steam Deck LCD model now with just the Steam Deck OLED remaining.

So I've installed the EGS Launcher from Bottles, then I installed both GTA V Enhanced and the R* Launcher. After a bit of troubleshooting I finally managed to run the game, but 10 seconds into it, the game enters an infinite waiting screen: "Verifying game ownership is taking longer than usual".

My Bottles configuration is the following:

Runner: sys-wine-10.0
DXVK: dxvk-2.7.1
VKD3D: vkd3d-proton-3.0

Windows version: Win10

Environment Variables (Im not sure if they are correct)
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
__VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only

Any feedback or attempt to help will be much appreciated. Thanks

Hello,

I noticed down-votes of questions like "Which Distro is Best", and the community complaining about newbie questions.

As a result, introductory gaming guides were recommended like Kwindu. The problem is: - For a long comprehensive guide, a beginner may find it difficult to read, where she'd get lost among concepts like Proton, Wine, Lutris, ..etc. - For a short step-by-step tutorial, a beginner may fail to workaround a trivial problem like blacklisting Nouveau's drivers.

Many of those who come from Windows may not even know how to execute a command on terminal to log basic system info.

I am happy to see many people switching to Linux, and I want them to learn without an entry-barrier to understand a long guide.

That motivated me to create a new kind of knowledge-base, where power users could contribute to a dynamic knowledge-base, which answers a user's question only by citing self-contained knowledge pieces, called "Snippet".

I created a new gaming guide Here.

• Snippet Compatible Games cites Kernel Anti-chaet so that more details could be explored on-demand of the reader, maintaining an easy-to-follow tutorial.
• Snippet Asking a Good Question cites Troubleshoot Nvidia Drivers which solves a huge bulk of questions asked.
• A question could be asked here whereby a snippet like Troubleshoot Nvidia Drivers could be cited in the question thread, instead of re-writing an answer every time.
• If a user asked about a GTX card compatibility, we could add a snippet, then link snippet Compatible GPU to it. So, the gaming guide could be dynamically updated and expanded, driven by users questions.

I received feedback that contributing to Arch Wiki or tldr should be given a priority. If the community found "Snippet" concept useful, I'd be happy to develop it, so that wiki projects like tldr are integrated into it. If some snippet received high citations, then this could signal a contribution to Arch Wiki or tldr, a win-win for everyone!.

All feedbacks are welcomed.

Hey guys! How are you doing? I use Kubuntu on Asus Zenbook 14 UX433FN and it's good. But I wonder if there is another distro that is good for gaming. I heard about Pop!_OS and I liked it. Asus Zenbook 14 UX433FN has Intel Core I7-8565U and Nvidia GeForce MX150. So is Pop!_OS good choice for my laptop? I don't any Arch-based distros like bazzite or CachyOS and I don't want Nobara as it doesn't support my GPU.

Sup guys I am switching to linux (have tried mint and Nobara earlier) and now I am wondering whats your experience with nvidia drivers on different distros?

I am switching to AMD in the future but I dont have the money for it at the moment and I cant wait to get off of windows permanently!

Im not a performance maxer in any capacity I am just looking for things to work smoothly!

If there any distros you feel are better with nvidia than the ones I mentiond please share and thank you in advance!

Hello,

I've had my Steam Deck for a month and I'm having a problem when playing Borderlands GOTY Enhanced Edition on it.

Generally, the game runs smoothly and well. However, as soon as I make contact with enemies and they approach me, my camera starts moving uncontrollably. Also, sometimes shots are fired even though I'm not pressing any buttons.

I was briefly worried that this might be a hardware problem.

I tested the joysticks and there's no drift.

This problem doesn't occur in other games, such as The Division 2.

Are there any others experiencing this issue?

Any solutions?

Thank you.

To preface, ANV is the vulkan driver for Intel GPU. I understand that mesa devs is probably working on a different issues already (there are 100+ MR tagged with ANV). However, 2 of my Intel ANV driver bug reports have been ignored so far. This was not the case for my previous bug reports of R600 and gallium nine. Previously, my bug report at least get a respond that they read the issue ticket, even when they are not resolved (definitely never for all my gallium nine issue). Here are my 2 bug reports: - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/14502 - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/14429

Is there any issue with any of these report I make? I know I didn't include apitrace for Atelier Yumia demo. However, apitrace does not support DX 12 game. The demo is also free. I also made a report at DXVK/VKD3D repo respectively and it seems they conclude this is either a driver issue or a game issue.
