At the weekend Wine 10.16 was released finally answering all the questions on when NTSync will land - well it's here now.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

I have a reallllllly PC (10 years old I think), I mainly use that PC to watch videos, talk on discord and play some very old or very small (less than 10 Gigabyte) steam games. I do all my work on my University laptop and don't need the PC for any of that.

Since microsoft is ending support for windows 10 I was thinking of switch to Linux since I think there are many different verisons of it, I think? and they still get updates. But now I don't know which version I should switch to because I heard some version aren't able to operate steam games very well. So can someone tell me which version of Linux would work the best for using firefox, discord and steam?

Edit: Oh also how do I check for updates?

Edit 2: Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I will go with Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition, since it seems the most common for beginners.

I currently have an Xbox series X and a gaming PC at home that uses Opensuse tumbleweed.

I also have a mini PC at work that has Linux Mint and just has an Intel n100 CPU.

I want to remote play my Xbox from my PC at work but just learned that XBplay is now discontinued.

Is there another third party app or method that would work?

I don't have ultimate gampass so Xcloud is not an option.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have the Debian Trixie backports kernel 6.16.3 and Wine-Staging 10.16. Both claim to support NTSync, but it's not working. Could someone kindly explain what's wrong?

Here is what I'm doing:

#1 Load kernel module: sudo modprobe ntsync

#2 Check that ntsync device is created and read/write accessible to all users: sudo udevadm info --name=ntsync

P: /devices/virtual/misc/ntsync M: ntsync J: c10:261 U: misc D: c 10:261 N: ntsync L: 0 E: DEVPATH=/devices/virtual/misc/ntsync E: DEVNAME=/dev/ntsync E: DEVMODE=0666 E: MAJOR=10 E: MINOR=261 E: SUBSYSTEM=misc

#3 Start something in wine and leave it running: wine notepad

#4 Check that the ntsync device is being used: lsof /dev/ntsync

The output of lsof is empty, indicating that the ntsync device is not being used. :(

I currently have to use Windows, although still use my Steam Deck regularly, and I'm working on a custom hud for TF2, although things like checks, the close button, etc, don't seem to be working, as in they appear as letters instead of what they should. The text fonts themselves work fine, but this is still really inconvenient, as I'd like to go back to Linux full time, and I want the hud I made to function as it does on Windows on it.

Has anyone played around with setting up a multiple user environment, where one user is gaming, the other user(s) may be doing whatever e.g. web browsing?

Currently I have a PC with a Ryzen 7700 and an RX 9070 and B850M-X Wifi, running KDE Bazzite (since steam works ootb).

I know one way to do this might be to just make every user a VM. Assign the GPU to the gamer, the iGPU to the other user... a kink is that i wanted to let the other user use blender when the gamer is not gaming. I am not sure how difficult this would be to setup and have zero experience setting up a multiple VM scenario. At most I've done single VMs for cybersecurity class or a webserver but never having multiple simultaneous users where the GPU needs to be shared.

Linus Tech Tips famously did like 12 gamers on one PC so I will watch that video again, it has been a few years.

So I have a Thrustmaster T-LCM, which I have successfully connected to a game in Lutris. The game is Richard Burns Rally, and it being a Windows title, I'm running it through Wine.

Before tinkering, there was only the wheel (a Moza wheelbase) that got detected in Lutris' Wine Control Panel; but I did this to make them discoverable, and it worked: "SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE="/dev/input/by-id/usb-Leo_Bodnar_Logitech®_G27_Shifter_C44415-joystick:/dev/ input/by-id/usb-xin-mo.com_SHH_Shifter_Controller-joystick:/dev/input/sim_pedals"

I could just do "/dev/input/js0:/dev/input/js1"... and so on, but I wanted it to stay if USBs got reordered. So "/dev/input/sim_pedals" is a udev rule that makes it possible to find the pedals by name instead.

HOWEVER: There seems to be a massive deadzone or flatness in the middle of the pedal travel. Using "jstest", I can see that it goes from -32767, and then it stays for quite a bit at 0, and then all the way to 32767. If I do "evtest" on the actual event (usb-Thrustmaster_Sim_Pedals-event-if00), it goes a smooth 0 to 65535 without hanging at the middle.

From what I can gather, Lutris only ever looks for /dev/input/js* joysticks? So what could be the fix here?

Game launches, then gets to trying to log into Ubisoft services (Asks about opening Ubisoft club, this message disappears) then crashes to desktop. A window stays running with the Ubisoft Connect icon which has to be forced closed. This window is empty. I have tried reinstalling and different Proton versions.

Any ideas what I can try to fix this?

I've already installed Marvel Rivals and I've been trying to launch it but whenever I do this pops up:

"DirectX 12 is not supported on your system.

Please update your Windows 10 64-bit operating system (version 1909 or later) and upgrade your graphics card driver.

Ensure that your graphics card meets the minimum requirements (NVIDIA GTX 1060 or AMD RX 580)."

I'm on windows 11, version 25H2. I think the problem could be my graphics driver, I could be wrong though. My current graphics driver is Intel(R) UHD Graphics. I have another one: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. But this one isn't working and I don't know how to make it work.

Thank you in advance!

I am very new to sim racing, and had some trouble getting my various controllers to play nice with linux mint and steam.

I stumbled upon a possible fix.

Make sure you "disable steam input" in the properties>controller.

Your mileage may vary, but this was the thing that got one of my games working.

Good Luck.

I don't usually keep my games on a separate drive, but since I'm switching distros (I'm temporarily on OpenSUSE), I moved them to my hard drive, but now I can't load them into Steam.

Additional information:

• I'm on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
• The hard drive is ext4.
• It allows users to mount the hard drive.
• It's mounting automatically on the system.
