Tried remote play from an arch host to a LMDE client. It works perfectly except that the stream freezes clientside if it is the main window. If i'm focused on another window i can see the video working and the mouse movement registering, but the moment i click on the stream window it freezes. Any idea how to fix this?

Hi all, this may be a reqlly dumb question but I need to install protonhax in order to install sime debug tools for an Elden Ring mod. Im not super tech savvy, so I need help with parsing out what exactly im doing with installing protonhax. According to the instructions I need the file along my $PATH. Im not sure what this means, do I need to put the file somewhere in my steam directory??

Github for reference: https://github.com/jcnils/protonhax

Im on linux mint.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I bought a New PC with 7900xtx gpu and 7800x3d CPU, and now I have to decide for an OS. Whats the performance difference these days between linux and windows?

Because actually Id much prefer going linux only, but Im afraid that I bought expensive Hardware for nothing, if it performs worse on linux. Is that the case? Trank you.

Hey there friends, I usually don't have any issues running games on linux but I don't push those limits usually either.

I'm recently trying getting back into WoW to check out the new content and do some PVP at least. While it plays well on my desktop (AMD 6800xt & 5800x) my laptop (Framework 16 Laptop Arch Linux KDE Wayland) is quite stuttery even on lowest settings. It gets really bad when alt-tabbing too but that recovers fairly quick. I will say the occasional thing I want to look up has me reaching for my phone instead of alt-tab though so I would like to improve it there.

I am pretty experienced in linux for server use cases but I'd say less so with desktop application performance troubleshooting.

I installed bnet through lutris, wow through bnet.

What I've done so far is:

• set the settings very low
• windows mode
• regedit for some x11 setting
• wine config force dedicated gpu
• wine config emulate a desktop
• wine config do not decorate window

The above configs seemed to make alt-tabbing a better experience. The wow process seems to eventually need a restart after just an hour or two though as it gets unplayable over time it seems.

Anyone have any ideas of what I could/should try? I wonder if I don't have the correct drivers installed or didn't select the most ideal providers for some components during arch install.

Recently, my controller has been randomly disconnecting while I'm playing games. However, that's not the main issue. When it does disconnect, it quickly reconnects, but once it comes back, it doesn't work anymore.

Note: With the Xbox controller (USB), when you hold the green button and move the analog stick, the mouse cursor moves. This functionality works when the controller reconnects, but when I try to do something in-game, nothing happens.

I have tried changing the kernel version, using the Flatpak version of Steam, and switching from Fedora to Debian, but the problem persists.

Looks like September 2024 is a pretty good month for Humble Choice, the subscription service from Humble Bundle that gives you a new set of games every month.

I'm getting huge mouse delay when playing some games (happens in Hunt: Showdown and Deadlock at the moment)
This is how it looks like, anyone getting same issue? Any known fix?

Note: English is not my first language, sorry for any mistake.

Why

The whole Windows Recall thing was the last straw for me.

Previous experience

I've used Linux a lot in the past since the Compiz days, but always dual booting Windows for games. Eventually I saw myself never really using Linux because most of my time on the PC was gaming.

Nowadays my main PC is also my work PC (I'm a freelance mobile developer, mostly focused on Flutter), so either Windows or Linux is fine. In the past I worked with Python/Django on Linux, too.

Also, I have a Steam Deck which runs Linux of course.

My experience

I decided to go with Fedora because I've always wanted to try it. I'm used to Ubuntu with XFCE but Fedora sounded nice (flatpak, rolling release? not sure about that last part). Not a fan of Gnome but not really sure if installing KDE/XFCE would break stuff.

I had an Nvidia 3080, which would've worked just fine I think. But I'm not really happy with Nvidia as a company, so I decided to sell the 3080 and use a Vega 56 I had laying around. It's a big downgrade, performance-wise. But I don't want to buy a new GPU until RDNA4. Also I don't play very demanding games. The Vega 56 works just fine at 1440p.

So, the rig is a Ryzen 5 5600, AMD Vega 56, 32 GB Ram, 1440p monitor

Steam

I started with the flatpak version but had some issues. I couldn't add another drive as a library (fixed by using flatseal and setting permissions). I also had some issues with the Steam Controller (should be fixed installing steam-devices I think, but that didn't work). So I decided to uninstall the flatpak and use the regular version instead. Seems to be working fine

Every game I've tried has worked fine (I will add a list at the end), but it's true that I've had far more crashes than I ever had on Windows. I don't think I ever had a single Steam crash on Windows, to be frank. Not really sure about this, but I think it's Waylands fault, or maybe Discord? The crash report usually shows a Discord log. I've crashes pressing the Print Screen key, and also while doing some Steam Controller configuration.

I've had many problems trying to use the Steam Controller with TitanFall 2, but I think that's EA Play overlay thing which I can't disable. Fuck EA, but damn it I love TitanFall 2.

I also use Retroarch a lot. Sometimes the playlists become unavailable for some reason. I haven't done research on why.

Games I've tried

• Divinity: Original Sin
• Factorio
• F.E.A.R.
• Horizon: Zero Dawn
• The Messenger
• Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (from the Master Collection)
• Moonlighter
• Outer Wilds
• Pepper Grinder
• Prey (2007)
• Roboquest
• Sam & Max: Save the World Remaster
• TitanFall 2
• Two Point Hospital
• Wolfenstein (2009, pirated version since it's not in Steam anymore, running through Wine and added as a non-steam game)

Other stuff

I knew that my capture card wouldn't work (Elgato 4k60 Pro, a PCI card), so I removed before starting all this. Maybe I'll get an external one, but I don't really need it.

Things I want to try

• I have a Meta Quest 3 which I really like. I have to try ALVR, but my hopes are not very high. Also going from 3080 to Vega 56 isn't probably a good thing for VR.

• Streaming to the Steam Deck. I used Sunshine on Windows so I guess I should try that.

The future

I'm going to keep using Fedora. Probably will update the GPU when RDNA4 is available

Some questions

• What is mesa? Should I use it? How can I know if that's installed or not?
• Not really sure what drivers I'm using, how can I tell?

Yes I read the documentation but I am still a noob. I have the folder installed from the repo yet I don’t know how to configure the file, I’m not expecting a full description but maybe a link to a blog going into depth or a yt video. My APU is at 95-99% use but my cpu is at around 25% so will boosting cpu performance help see higher fps and better performance overall?

Thanks

Manjaro btw

Hey! As the title says, I've been using Windows for about 12 years (which is the vast majority of my life), and I'm starting to see it deteriorate in front of me. So, I thought to ask you all:

1. What Linux distros do y'all recommend? I've heard Ubuntu is good, but I'm open to suggestions.
2. Can Linux run pretty much every game in my library, or would I have to be willing to sacrifice some games?
3. Any extensive steps to get my 3070 and i7 working?

That's about all. Thanks for reading!
