So I am on ubuntu 24.04.03 and I currently have some issues with error 1202. I want to change distro to either Nobara42 or Bazzite. I tend to go with Nobara but I want to check how the gaming is on Wayland only. Mostly Anno1800 and Cyberpunk. I've heard that fullscreen is not working well.

Also if you have other exp for another distro feel free to leave it here. I am open to have a stable distro for gaming.

Does anyone know of any bluetooth controllers that uses AA batteries? I hate controllers with non-removable, non-standard batteries.

Distro: Fedora 43 (Workstation)

Sooo I've been wanting to tryout the new OpiScaler menu on Goverlay 1.6 but it says I'm missing a "p7zip" dependency, however since I'm running the appimage version I'm unsure how to fix it.

Also I know that there's an RPM version but it hasn't been updated in like months so OptiScaler ain't available on it.

I need help with my Nacon GC100 controller. Until yesterday everything was working perfectly, but today the button mapping suddenly changed - for example, Y button now acts as A, and other buttons are similarly remapped.

The wrong mapping appears both in Steam and Heroic Launcher. I've already tried restarting my PC but it didn't change anything.

Does anyone know what could have happened? More importantly, how can I fix this?

I am on linux Mint 22.2

Hey everyone,

I’ve been getting more into Linux gaming lately and I’d love some recommendations for good YouTube channels focused on it.

I’m especially interested in channels that cover things like:

• Gaming on Linux in general
• Proton / Steam Deck / Wine
• Performance tweaks and optimizations
• How to fix common issues with games on Linux
• Tutorials for setting up launchers/tools (Lutris, Heroic, etc.)
• Benchmarks and comparisons between Linux and Windows for games

What are your favorite creators for learning more about Linux gaming and keeping up with tips, tricks, and news?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Where to start? Was thinking Bazzite or Steamos but not sure and don't know enough to make an informed decision. This is a spare machine as I have a nice high end desktop but not willing to take the plunge on it yet.

Have a large steam library and various other pc storefront libraries that I would like to be able to use as well but not mandatory.

Direction needed, please assist! Thanks!

I’m caught in two minds, build a rig or wait for the steam machine release. I’m wanting a gaming rig for the living room, 65” 4k tv, atmos surround system.

Me and my partner both pc game, our pcs are in the same room. But more often than not we want to lounge on the sofa and game. Originally I thought about hdmi connectivity to my pc to the tv. But then she wouldn’t be able to play it if I’m playing it upstairs, or vice versa. So a dedicated machine makes sense. We both have large steam libraries.

And so the steam machine really does fit my use case. It’s claiming it’ll play 60fps 4k on most games which is sufficient, but I am skeptical it will achieve this. But tbf most games we play aren’t AAA anyway.

What would you do? I suppose it’s hard to say without the price tag and release date. Presumably building would be more expensive, but likely better performance.

Whenever I try to listen to my songs on Independence FM, after a few seconds it skips to a new song. How do I fix this? Installing older versions of GE-Proton either doesnt fix it at all or breaks independence fm directly

Where Winds Meet is a new free to play game on Steam that's doing some big numbers right now, and thankfully it seems to work great on Linux with Proton.
