I recently purchased an Asus TUF A16 and I've been having some issues getting Linux to work properly. If I am unable to find a solution to this I will be forced to find another gaming laptop. I specifically got the A16 because it is all AMD and I want to actually use Wayland.

The frame.work is too expensive, Tuxedo computers are too expensive as well. What else is out there that is more likely to work for me? I want to stay at a similar performance level as the A16 (Ryzen 7 7735HS and Radeon RX 7700S)

I just bought this ASUS TUF A16 gaming laptop from Best Buy and I'm trying to install Linux on it. However, when I do use Linux, there is an issue with the built-in display. It doesn't matter what distro I'm using (live booted into Pop!_OS, Fedora, and EndeavourOS), and it doesn't matter if I'm using Wayland or Xorg, the screen is super stuttery and there is a white line on the top of the screen. If I plug in a monitor, the monitor seems to work fine, it's just the built-in display that has an issue.

This laptop has AMD dedicated graphics, I'd like to use Wayland and play Steam games. I currently have Pop!_OS installed and I'd like to keep it if possible. Thanks!

I managed to get Roblox working on Waydroid using libhoudini. To install libhoudini, follow the guide on https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid\_script.

After installing libhoudini, follow these steps:

1. Open the web browser in Waydroid.
2. Copy https://d.apkpure.com/b/APK/com.roblox.client?version=latest into the search bar at the top. Do not press the Enter key.
3. Press the blue search button on the on-screen keyboard.
4. On the prompt for "Allow Browser to access photos and media on your device," press "Allow."
5. Press the "Download" button.
6. Go to the Files application inside of Waydroid.
7. Go to the Downloads folder.
8. There should be one file in the Downloads folder. If it's still downloading, wait for the download to finish.
9. Right-click the file and click "Open with."
10. A prompt saying "For your security, your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source" will appear. Click "Settings."
11. Enable "Allow from this source."
12. Press the back button.
13. Click "Install."

If you want to use a controller, run the following code:

waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.udev true waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.uevent true

Make sure to plug in the controller after Waydroid starts. If the controller was plugged in before Waydroid starts, the controller won't be recognized and you'll need to unplug it and plug it back in.

Note: If libhoudini for some reason doesn't work, you can try installing libndk, but from my testing, only libhoudini seems to work. You can install libndk by using the Waydroid script in the first link provided.

There are so many compatible video cards and I don't know what to pick? My thing is I need it to work with Linux (Debian stable) cause that's what I will be running.

I think I want to avoid GeForce and stick with Radeon (AMD) cause it has better support in Linux?

I have an ultrawide monitor at 5120x1440 but I'd game at narrower resolution.

Any advice?

So as of yesterday i tried opening steam and it gave me a bunch of errors about flatpak not being installed so I tried fixing that. It got to the point where i got the message telling me to run "flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.Debug.default//23.08" in the terminal, which i did, and it installed successfully but when i try to open steam i get absolutely nothing not even an error message. Ive tried restarting my pc multiple times and still nothing. Im so confused im not extremely tech savvy

Only reason im using flatpak version of steam is because a similar thing happened ages ago with the normal version of steam so i switched to flatpak and it worked fine but now flatpak isnt working

(Crossposted from wine_gaming.) Hello, all. I'm having trouble running Nioh 2 on Artix Linux after a major system upgrade (i.e., motherboard, CPU, memory change; also programs moved to a new, separate drive mounted to the same directory). I managed to get it working perfectly long before the upgrade, but when time came to reinstall Wine and Lutris, things went ugly: the game wouldn't ever make it past a black screen. Here are the error logs under two variations of the settings that once worked:

Nioh 2 Wine Error w/ DXVK: https://pastebin.com/2j8mczdt
Nioh 2 Wine Error w/o DXVK: https://pastebin.com/Qa6Fr9Zj
Nioh 2 Wine Error w/o DXVK, accompanying Windows error message: https://pastebin.com/BcbUkPPv

With DXVK, the game's window doesn't even come up. Without it, it does, but it crashes before anything shows. Here is some system information:

CPU: Ryzen 9 7950X
Memory: 128 GB
OS: Artix Rolling GPU: Radeon RX 6950 XT GPU Driver: AMDGPU Mesa Version: Mesa 24.0.6-arch1.2 Display Server: Xorg DE: Xfce

If any other information is needed, please ask. Help would be much appreciated.

I just started a new game in Planet Coaster and my gpu temperature goes up to 82°C. I have everything set to lowest graphic settings. I'm a bit worried about my GPU if it always is at 82°C.

Is there something like a eco mode that I can use to reduce performance but keep the card cooler?

Also it does seem a bit strange to me that if I just start a new game, with nothing placed so far, the gpu gets that high temperatures. Is that normal?

I don't have such high temperature values in any other game I play.

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 and I use GE-Proton-7.22 to play Planet Coaster (through Steam).

Any ideas?

I recently came across a thread discussing the potential risks of running cracked games on Windows using Wine. There was a mention that using Bottles could mitigate the risk by running the program in a sandbox environment, thus preventing viruses from infecting the system. Can anyone provide a detailed explanation of how this works? Thanks

A heads up to anyone having issues with GoT.

If you have Frame Gen enabled, you will get lots of crashes, both mid game and when tabbing out or changing graphics settings.

Other than that, the game runs super nicely!

American Truck Simulator: DLC "Nebraska" released https://playingtux.com/articles/american-truck-simulator-dlc-nebraska-released?lang=en #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming

So I'm trying to mod stardew valley, however the mods never load, and I have no idea why. I perfectly followed the instructions, and it told me that booting it up as usual would launch SMAPI automatically. However, it doesn't. The only notable things I would say are off is that launching stardew valley doesn't show a terminal pop-up launching SMAPI, and that when I try to launch it, most of the time it says "Winepreloader 64 crashed" and doesn't launch. However sometimes it works. Anyone think they could help? Or if this isn't the right community, please point me to the right one. I really want to play modded-

As the title says.

Tried with various Proton versions, including GE-Proton 9.5.

Any fix for no audio in intro video on native, or long launch times with Proton?

got wine, lutris, proton experimental, all that good stuff. installed fallout 2 on steam and even the main menu is unplayable and runs in what appears to be slow motion. no idea where to even begin troubleshooting. extremely new to all of this.

on a shitty HP pavilion g6 notebook laptop with an integrated AMD graphics card. i have already tried half life 1 and it runs smooth as butter, but it had native support, no proton or lutris or wine or whatever was needed, so i'm sure the problem lies with one of those rather than the game itself.

EDIT: on linux mint cinnamon 21.3

Hello,

I'm having an issue with Lutris and configuring Gamescope.

Gamescope is installed properly, and my NVIDIA drivers are up to date.

When I run the command 'gamescope -w 1280 -h 720 -W 1920 -H 1080 --fsr vkcube', it works, which means Gamescope is configured correctly.

However, I can't activate it within Lutris, and I'm going crazy trying to understand why. Does anyone have a solution?
