games seem to freeze after a bit of playing
I'm on Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS
graphic drivers:TU117M [GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile / Max-Q]
and Picasso/Raven 2 [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series]
I am on a laptop and battery is dead like 0% charge permanetly
hi as the title says most of my games seem to freeze. after a period of time my game freezes i can still move around and there's still noises for about 10 seconds then it's stops but visually it's frozen i seen some post with a similar issue but my whole system doesn't freeze just the game. there's not really a pattern of what causes it to freeze that i notice
hades 1 & 2 freeze after about 1 layer so about 8 minutes
warframe and sekiro freeze after a couple hours. warframe seem to freeze only when I'm doing something if i afk it seems fine for a while. it also freezes within like 5 minutes if i try to stream it using obs (same with the other games)
terraria about 20 minutes before it freezes if i update my drivers it doesn't freeze but that's probably because it uses the 2nd gpu not really and options for the other games due to it being really weak
insider trading the rougelike game freezes when i finish the tutorial. last longer if i ran via steam instead of wine only by a couple minutes
me alt tabbing out seem to hasten? the freezing happens faster if i alt tab out or just immediately freeze like terraria
and around 20+ games
games that haven't froze when i played them
idle cave miner never freezes seems completely fine even when i alt tab out of it
greyhat a digital detective adventure the games is like 15 hours i beat it in 3 sessions didn't freeze once
minecraft i used TL launcher it hasn't freeze yet
forager
there might be like 3 or 4 games that didn't freeze either i don't remember clearly because it happens so often i tune it out
I'm not super sure if it's because of my gpu being overstressed or something? but that doesn't really makes sense how hades can only run for 8 minutes but warframe and sekiro can run for hours

Forcing PS button prompts in games?
Is there a way to force a game to use PS button prompts? Arknights: Endfield has them, and uses them when a PS controller is detected, I've confirmed this by connecting my DS4 to my phone and playing there (got a usb-c to hdmi cable for it, only to find out my phone needs to explicitly support video-out over usb-c, and that it does not lmao). However, when playing on Linux (CachyOS, specifically) via DW-Proton, it uses xbox prompts. I've tried with Steam input enabled and disabled (was a long shot, steam input is basically an xinput wrapper), every combination of "Enable SDL" and "Disable hidraw" settings in the wine control panel. None of them worked, either I'd get no controller input, or controller input with xbox prompts.
Now, I've switched to using my PS2 controller (cause my PS4 needs a power button and inserting a disc just to turn it on is a pain). That I know isn't going to be detected as a PS controller, and after having played with it I've confirmed that. It had some mapping issues that I found out could be fixed by putting a custom SDL control map in the game's launch options, a control map that lists the name of the controller. Is there some way I can utilize that to force the game to use PS prompts? I don't know precisely what the controller name should be for that to work, if it even would work.
If there's no way to do this, then fine, I can put up with it, it's just a big annoyance to me. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me with this.

Arch or Debian for PC
Hello, i want to switch on Linux on my PC, and i have Steam games that i want to play sometimes (single player games). I have Intel i3 12100f and Nidia 2060 RTX. Also i have a laptop where i started using Arch, 2 monts ago, and i like it, but i wanted something more "stable" and gameing friendly for my PC. My thoughts are on Arch (where i learned basics) or Debian (where i need to start from begining).

Perfect 120 FPS on Windows & Linux
Just stumbled upon this... This is insane guys...
You just need to set your frame limiter in Mangojuice

Got bored and made a knockoff of Protontricks using Qt6 lol
https://github.com/Florararie/Protontricks-at-Home
Disclaimer, this is not 1:1. This was mainly something I made for myself. I just wanted certain parts of managing Proton games to be less annoying (like messing around in compat paths). Also I prefer having a proper Qt GUI since most of my desktop apps are Qt anyway (parity yayyy). Might work on it some more in the future, just got the itch to share.
Basically it can:
- List your installed Steam games using Proton (obviously)
- Lets you filter/sort (last played, size on disk, playtime, non-Steam shortcuts, etc other misc options)
- Lets you open/copy compatdata paths quickly as well as App ID
- Launches Winetricks in the correct prefix (not a full wrapper yet, just directs to prefix :c )
- Can launch games via Steam URI (Cuz why not?)
- Has a random game picker when you can’t decide (Also cuz why not lmfao)

All information is gotten from Steam cache / VDF & ACF files
Have affectionately named it “Protontricks at Home” because I felt like it fits lmao

How do I make a Hyprland to Gamescope session switcher bind ?
first of all is it even possible ?
To have a bind ( like super + G) which exits hyprland nicely, runs some visudo commands to boost performance and switches to gamescope session with the steam Big picture mode and when I hit return to desktop, it goes back to hyprland reverting those perfomance commands to powersave.
I wasted 4-5 hours trying to figure out, I went as far as to get all my games running on gamescope (even older ones like nfs mw 2005 and AC2 ) and implementing all of it to only break at the switching to desktop screen again & again and when I tried to get some Gemini and Chatgpt help, it went downhill and now I can't even get to open the steam session again, the tty2 just freezes at black.
what I did was :-
made a session script, modified an autologin.conf file for sddm based on the input like steam or hyprland.
in the if steam block it ran another performance script which overclocks my igpu, puts cpu into turbo mode and epp into performance, then modifies the autologin.conf to have the gamescope-session and pkills hyprland.
and then in the 'else' block, it reverted the performance script by the "off" argument, modified the autoconfig again to have hyprland and pkills gamescope and steam.
but I always got stuck on the switching to desktop screen.
going thru the logs even told me that sddm switches to hyprland but the screen remains stuck at that last gamescope frame but when I tried to correct this I just lost the plot and now I'm back to zero can't launch steam session and totally demotivated and wondering if someone has already made it or is there a good tool which already exists.

Cannot add new steam library
Hello!
I'm definitely a noob to linux and I'm struggling to figure out how to add a new steam library.
I am not using the flatpak version; it is the debian install.
For context, I switched from Windows to Linux Mint 22.1 about a month ago. I recently reformatted one of my drives from NTFS to EXT4 and I'm trying to get steam to install games to this library.
When I go to Steam Settings -> Storage the only drive showing up is the root (Local Drive (/)). If I click "Add Drive" absolutely nothing happens. No file selector, nothing. I saw something on another thread about installing xdg-desktop-portal, which I installed, but no changes.
My drive is properly mounted (as far as I'm aware). I partitioned my drive as ext4, created a folder for a mount point in /home/user, used the mount command, modified fstab to add this new drive, and added permissions. Lsblk does show that the ext4 drive I formatted is mounted.
I'm... just at a complete loss and have no idea what to do from here after hours of browsing through forums.

Tlou2 nvidia problems
What do you mean I can’t play The Last of Us Part 2 without crashes on an RTX 4070 8GB! 😭 Or without getting frame drops every 2 sec with holy stuttering
Am I the only one who has this? I can’t even play 60 fps stable! I have to keep my eye on the VRAM and GPU usage and if either hits 100% the game crashes
I'm on CachyOS with Nvidia driver 580
I tried Cachyos-Proton and GE-Proton but it's the same, I even tried limiting the VRAM to 6GB, but if I change any vram related setting, the game has a 90% chance to crash or just drop to 2 fps. 200ms latency

Could somebody help me troubleshoot a modded game of Stellaris?
I like to play Stellaris modded, and I never had any problem with it back when I used Windows. But ever since I moved to Linux I've been unable to use mods. The game never finishes loading, getting stuck at 80% loaded indefinitely. If I use Proton instead of running it natively the game just crashes after a few minutes of loading, but maybe 10% of the time it does finish loading and I can play it normally. It's roughly 120 mods, but it's nothing my computer can't handle. It's something with the system.
I have tried to troubleshoot it myself but my knowledge of troubleshooting on Linux is limited, and other players report no issues with modding. I have tried binary testing, but the biggest problem is that I can find some mods that are causing the game to not work, and I can play just find after disabling those mods, but then when I restart my PC it's a completely different set of mods causing the problems and I'm back at square 1. I don't want to spend an hour every day doing binary testing just to be able to play.
Again, the game works fine without mods. It's only with mods that it doesn't work.

Unable to login when screen is locked Plasma
Heya,
I'm having this issue on Plasma (Wayland) for some time now (not shure when it started) that is whenever the screen is locked (Win+L or due to inactivity) I can type the password but it's not logging me in, it does nothing. Only way is to switch user and log that way.
I use Nvidia GPU (if it matters), Plasma 6.6.3, any other info I can provide please ask.
