I am a WarThunder player, and sometimes while I'm climbing to altitude, I alt tab to watch a YouTube video, and whenever I move the cursor, it acts like I'm still in the game, which caused me to crash a couple times and i was wondering if theres anyway to do it?

As the title says, I'm trying to open team fortress 2 but when I do, it just tries to run but shuts off both of my monitors and disables one of them before closing (I think). I just installed linux mint TODAY so I just do not know what I am doing. Please help.

Edit: solved thank you guys

Hello guys, I'm a total beginner when it comes to gaming on Linux. Even referring to me as a noob could be seen as an insult to noobs, so I really need your assistance to help me through the process of installing the best Linux for gaming, what apps to use, and how to operate them.

My specifications are:

Ryzen 3600

Rx 5700xt Sapphire Pulse (I'm having some driver issues at the moment; it tends to crash occasionally)

3200 8*2 GB RAM 144Hz 1080p monitor

Also, what is even weirder is I though I could use the camera focus hotkey (CTRL + F) and remap it to the q key or something, but whenever I remap any key it always sets it to "numlock". When that is set to the camera focus key, whenever I hit any unit control group once, the camera jumps to it. It's really strange and I don't get it.

I am currently running battle.net and by extension starcraft 2 using steam and I tried a bunch of different proton versions, even proton 10-3 using proton GE. I am using steam because the battle.net installer would always fail using lutris.

Oh and I am using a normal keyboard with Englugh (US) layout.

Any ideas of what's going on?

edit: touble tap, not double tab.

edit: also, touble tapping other keys, like f10 for the menu, opens and closes it just fine. So the game seems to be registering the fast key strokes no problem.

Edit: the problem does not happen on Windows 11 (I dual boot Ubuntu and windows)

I will be building a new gaming PC soon and I will install Linux instead of Windows. I have settled on 2 options which are zorin and cachy. I chose zorin because of it's simplicity and very close look to windows, but my friend uses cachy and he says it's literally one of the best if not the best in gaming distros. So, my question is there really a big preformance difference in games between zorin and cachy because if not, like if the difference is just maybe 2 fps or something I will just use zorin but if the difference is worth it I will use cachy.

Also, what is the best distro (not only cachy and zorin) in office work because I also want a distro on my college laptop 😁

So i built a PC into an xbox case on a budget and can't choose a distro. My setup is asrock deskmini a300 with ryzen2400g, ir has nvme ssd, 2 HDDs (one usb 2.0 one usb3.0). Using m2 wifi-> pcie riser i have connected GTX1660 Super. Power supply is xbox360PSU for the GPU and original deskmIni a300 for mobo. GPU PSU is started by CPU fan coolers voltage using optocoupler. Wifi is TPlink usb, Bluetooth is tp-link usb. I will want to run ps2 emulation+ steam games. i use dualsense/xone/switch pro controllers and i want them on bluetooth. I am also running a projector and a CRT from GTX1660s HDMI port (one at a time) so u wana be able to switch resolutuons and refresh rates. I tried bazzite before i had the Nvidia installed and had whitescreen issues. Did not try any distros after finishing the build, but all seems to work OK on windows 11 (Atlas playbook). I have issue on windows where my bluetooth gamepads keep bugging out and seem laggy (i suspect its software issues, i had some shitty chinese adapter before i bought a tplink, the chinese one probably left some sus drivers in the system). Anyways i see bazzite warns on nvidia support. I wish to use my build as a entertainment room game console, so preferably no mouse required. I would also like to run VNC+tailscale so its easy to navigate to youtube videos and so on by using my phone on the couch. Having syncthing on the packages would be great too, its alot better than sshfs for me.

My options seem like: nobara chimera bazzite batocera (probably not, i want steam to be of highest priority)

Here lies a question, which distro will provide best compat with my hardware. As for launching steam automatically and so on- i can figure that out, i used to work with linux alot and used to run a debian based distro for embedded Jetson device, so i know how to modify the system to some extent. I would just prefer to do least ammount of fiddling with drivers as that might take AGES :)) also i refuse to use gnome, if distro doesnt support any other DE its no-go.

System in question is in the pics, hope someone has a good suggestion :)

are there any alternatives to noisetorch (since it's basically abandonware) or easyeffects ( i had some issues with it)?

Hi all, just wondering which OS is better for emulation gaming, Bazzite or Batocera, and why?

I cant find a direct comparison of the two.

Thanks! =)

How do I format a drive to play steam games on this os I’m noticing it’s all a bit different in each os and this one I’m most definitely lost

ran into this issue a few times now (title screen for V rising, cutscenes in persona 5 strikers, in UI move example videos in stranger of paradise) and im curious both if there is a solution, and if there is a one stop fix for all games together

Hi All, I'm looking for some pointers on how to solve a vexxing controller mapping issue in elite dangerous.
OS is a clean install of latest bazzite-nvidia, launching epicgames version of elite dangerous in wine-ge latest.

My dualshock3 is connected via USB cable. It maps just fine in linux, all buttons+axis test as correct.
In elite dangerous, start button is weirdly mapped to spacebar.
Right d-pad works in menus, but when I try to map it to game controls, the "press a button for this input" submenu just closes when I press d-pad right, implying there's some other keycode being sent along with the right-dpad input, maybe "esc", hence the window closing.
All other inputs and axis work perfectly.

I've also tried an ipega bluetooth gamepad, which again mapped fine in linux, but in elite the left analogue stick was mapped to volume up+down, at which point I gave up on that controller altogether.

I've googled this problem A LOT, really a lot.
I've tried older versions of wine, setting mappings as an environment variable, and deleting sections of registry that relate to dinput, all with no change, good or bad.

Hello I have installed Overwatch 2 on an external drive, and I get a disk write error when trying to launch the game.

I tried going to the steamapps folder and give read/write permissions through the properties but it didn't work.

Do you know how to solve it?

Hey all! I've recently been having some issues playing Hero's of the Storm (my true main game :0) and I've come to a dead end in my attempts to fix it. I'm fairly new to linux, so I'll do my best to supply the info I know, and will be happy to dig for more info if people request/tell me how haha.

The short version is that I've been able to play HotS just find ever since installing Linux over a year ago, simply by running Battle.net though Proton on steam. But recently (last month or two?) battle.net itself has been funky, and HotS as well. I found a few threads related to WoW (also through battle.net) but unfortunately nothing from those threads has helped me as of yet.

There are 2 major issues I'm facing now, which I show in the attached video.

First, you can see that my mouse is only read in the game if the game window itself is on the Left half of my monitor. So if the game is entirely on the left half, mouse works find. Game in the middle, only the left half of the game window is clickable, and game on the right, nothing is clickable. It seems to basically draw a line down the center of my monitor, and wont allow the mouse past that (In the game specifically, I can move to the desktop or other programs and everything works just fine.)

The second issue is that when I attempt to full screen it (windowed FS or not) I get a flickering, where it seems like the window is constantly re-sizing/changing resolution, like 10 times a second. Entering windowed full screen used to be how I played, and it always got me around the mouse issue.

I've reinstalled the game, tried a bunch of different versions of Proton, a few launch parameters in bnet suggested by other posts (which seems to do nothing, but prob a HotS issue, since the other post was for wow), I've tried using Xorg instead of Wayland.

As far as I know my drivers and everything are up to date (I use an AMD, so drivers are updated with OS)

I'm running:

• KDE Plasma: 6.3.4
• KDE Frameworks: 6.13.0
• Qt: 6.8.3
• Kernal: 6.11.0-25-generic (64-bit)
• Graphics Platform: Wayland

If anyone has ideas or can help it would be oh so very much appreciated. HotS is like, my ONLY non negotiable game, and I'd really rather not break my year+ streak of not booting into my emergency windows drive haha

Thank you gamers!

Hi, I wanted to play some Rayman Origins with my sister when my laptop suddenly decided to stop recognising USB controllers of various models/brands (Xbox 360, Xbox One S and BigBen/Nacon PS4 controller). They used to work perfectly through Steam Input, now Steam won't detect them.

I tried running lsusb in the terminal, and they do show up as connected, info and all, but it seems Linux Mint refuses to recognise them.

I did update a few things through the built-in GUI updater today, but didn't pay much attention as to what was being updated as I didn't expect it to break anything. And I have no previous system points prior to that.

Help me? Please know I'm bad with Linux stuff so walk me through every necessary step.

(the top is lutris and bottom is heroic, both installed the gog version of Fallout 1) How do I add custom entries to these menus? I want to be able to add custom shortcuts for game specific mod managers and other such shortcuts, but I don't want to add them as entirely new games.

They seem to be added by default when I install these games normally, but I don't see an option to add custom editions to these menus.

For extra context, Playnite on windows calls these "actions" that you can configure in its menu.

I am running Nobara and have both lutris and heroic installed using the default repository. They are not flatpaks.

Please let me know if y'all need any extra info.

Thank you.

Been trying to use gamescope because of I can’t figure out any other way to get stretching to work universally I have a 3440x1440 monitor and trying to run certain games in 1920x1080 stretched (no black borders) fullscreen (not borderless) but doing this with gamescope is messed up because when I close the game no matter what game scope just hangs and it uses up like 15% of my ram and makes it impossible to restart cs without killing it manually if there’s anyway to fix gamescope or better yet another way to achieve my goals please let me know.

I have a hp server with the most hodgepodge setup. I found a gtx 1050 that I plugged and played as my main display output running ubuntu. Whenever I run CS I cannot get more than 5 fps which means I'm doing something horribly wrong. running a xeon e5-3630 x 12 cores, 32 gb ddr3 ram, and the aforementioned gtx 1050. Ubuntu 23.10.

Heyo people of Reddit. I am making this post, because I want to share with you some of the options for linux game streaming (local network), and ask of you to help me consider which option to pick. I have an AMD GPU

• steam remote play
  • This one is the simplest to set up, but
  • I have had issues with latency, video quality and straight-up crashes, making it unusable in most cases
• sunshine + moonlight
  • Out of the headless* options, this one seems the most mature and feature-full
  • Impressive featureset (headless*, hardware support, hdr, full desktop streaming, low-latency)
  • Setup is relatively simple
  • uses Nvidia's GameStream protocol
• games-on-whales (wolf) + moonlight
  • "new kid on the block"
  • Also has some cool features (low-latency, actually headless, hardware support, virtual gamepads, gyro support, multi-user)
  • uses GStreamer for video streams

What are your experiences with these local network game streaming options? Does Steam remote play just work for you guys? Opinions on headless game streaming? Which one is the most promising?

Somewhat unrelated note: if I go for one of the headless options, I might build it out into a beefier home server, with services like immich, which is a great use of idle gpu time.

*EDIT: Only headless if you run a headless display server/compositor. There are some options that can be run headless: sway, wayfire and gamescope are some.
