MediaTek wifi drivers are holding back Linux on the Ally and other laptops
Recently I decided to switch back to Windows on my ROG Ally. My main reason wasn't over wifi issues, but at home the Ally struggled to get good internet speeds on Wifi and it frequently dropped connection. After I switched back to Windows the Wifi problems went away. I switched back to Windows on the Ally because I'm starting to use it docked more, and on game mode multitasking didn't work super well. I tried to use Spotify and Borderlands 2, but every time I switched between the 2 on a 4k display with game at 1080p, the game would look all pixelated and have big black bars until I reset the resolution in game (not sure if its a borderlands or Game Scope specific issue). I also miss having Dolby Atmos, on my Windows laptop with my gaming headset (Corsair HS80) music sounded better because it had Dolby Atmos.
I think that MediaTek wifi drivers are holding back Linux on any laptop or device with MediaTek wifi. On most laptops you can swap them out with a better wifi chip, but sadly on gaming handhelds you stuck with what you have.

Silent Hill F running pretty well on Linux
Hey good day everyone, just got gifted a copy of SHF for my birthday and so far it has been working great! So I wanted to share the experience.
I have a 9800X3D CPU w/ a 9070XT, running on CachyOS KDE (Proton CachyOS) and the game boot up for my with absolute no config required.
Performance is pretty good I think, I used the optimized settings from Digital Foundry video, at 4K w/ FSR Quality and most of the time it runs around 100+FPS, the most I've seen it drop is to low 80s on some forest areas, like the literal first area of the game.
I added FSR4 w/ Optiscaler, and a quick warning, install optiscaler w/ d3d12.dll, not sure if maybe this is a know issue w/ UE5 games or something, but using the default dxgi option was crashing the game.
And from what I seen on other videos like Daniel's Owen and Steam Deck HQ it seems to scale well on other hardware.

Steam unable to sync cloud saves for specific games on desktop
i switched my desktop to linux at the beginning of summer this year and after finally thinking i got all my issues with drive mounting figure out, it turns out that was never the case. right now it appears to be specific for three main titles: sifu, elden ring, and rivals of aether. the issue is that the cloud saves for these games will not sync no matter what i do. they will very quickly go from 0-100% when i try to retry a sync, but they will never actually sync without erroring out. it also doesnt help that steam isnt giving me any specific error codes or messages, meaning this is pretty much the extent of my knowledge. i initially assumed it was because most of my drives are still NTFS drives mounted with the guide valve had on github, but that doesnt really explain things either since most games still work perfectly fine. any ideas what could be happening?
for a little context, im on the latest manjaro linux.

Games not launching (Fedora 42 KDE)
I have been trying to launch and play the elder scrolls oblivion (2009) GOTY and it keeps failing to launch. I tried multiple proton versions (9.0-4, hotfix, experimental, GE-proton10-17) and keep getting the same results.
I am seeing the same issue with Half Life 2 (proton version), and Steins;Gate. Pretty much all of my other games work fine. I ran steam through the terminal and got this when I tried to launch oblivion, similar results for the other games
fsync: up and running.

Any help would be appreciated

How do you do it?
I really love Linux (especially Hyprland) but I just can't get it to game. I thought maybe it was a hyprland issue so I tried Pop instead since it could still tile when I want but should offer the more stable Gnome for full screen gaming.
No go. There's always an issue. Vulkan always wanting to pre-bake or whatever and taking an hour, bad performance including stuttering and crashes, obscure bugs that take hours to days to fix just so I can use a particular piece of software.
I've never been able to get gaming working on Linux, but I've seen so many posts of people showing off good benchmarks of gaming on Linux. What gives? What's the secret sauce?

Coding help
So I am on steam deck but it’s Linux so I’m hoping someone can break it down for me, I’m trying to decrypt Pokémon roms, I’ve downloaded cia Unix for decryption but I don’t know how to execute commands, just placing my rom in the folder and starting both dltools( or dhtools I forget lol) and cia Unix and clicking on the icons doesn’t do anything. I know I can just get a flash drive from my windows pc to my steam deck but I figure the deck runs on Linux so I may as well learn how to do it all on just that device.

CS2 periodic crashing after "Show Off" update
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/4193
Ever since the Show Off update that added a new skin collection and the ability to look at others' loadouts in specator mode, multiple users have reported crashing, including myself. My game seems to only crash during someone or myself shooting a gun. Are there any native Linux players that have not experienced crashes to desktop? Do fixes for the Linux client come out promptly?

POP! Os: I have hid-fanatec-ffb installed and had it working before, but now I have no force feedback. How do I fix it? I honestly forgot how i did it before
Sorry about the audio and phone recording. Im not in the mood to record a video, log into reddit, post on my PC when its already on my phone, call me lazy but its quicker this way

I can't select a file from an extra disk with Proton
I want to select a game that is on my second disk, but Proton 9 and others don't recognize that there is anything stored, it appears as "z". I approved putting it in "start in" but no file is found. I'm using translator, in my language it seems there are no related videos. I'm going to highlight I am in a program (external to Steam) opened with Proton 9 in Steam, I have an extra disk that I store games on, when I open the program it asks me to select a file, but Proton does not recognize that there is something there, but it does recognize that there is a disk. (Let me know if I shouldn't write this in this community)

[Genshin Impact] - losing hope
Recently decided to try Linux on a personal computer (had previous experience). Installed Arch Linux, got most of the games working (CS2, War Thunder, Gothic 1,2 and 3, Terraria etc.) but Genshin does not want to collaborate with me. I'm battling for 4th day now, using everything I can (previous posts, GPT, popular fixes) but nothing works for me. Literally everything is up to date as shown in the screenshots.
I think I tried everything:
- Lutris:
- running HoYo launcher with runners: wine-ge-8-26-x86_64, GE-Proton latest/9-27/10-16, UMU-Proton 9.0-4e, Proton 10
- running Genshin.exe with runners: wine-ge-8-26-x86_64, GE-Proton latest/9-27/10-16, UMU-Proton 9.0-4e, Proton 10
- Steam:
- running HoYo launcher with runners: GE-Proton 10-16, UMU-Proton 9.0-4e, Proton 10, Proton 9.0.4/8.0.5/Experimental
- running Genshin.exe with runners: GE-Proton 10-16, UMU-Proton 9.0-4e, Proton 10, Proton 9.0.4/8.0.5/Experimental
- Wine directly
- running HoYo launcher
- running Genshin.exe
- Bottles
- running HoYo Launcher or Genshin.exe with soda or ge-proton
So far nothing worked. The most I could get was by running HoYo Launcher with Lutris using UMU-Proton and I think GE-Proton 9-27 and offline launch, works for about 2 minutes then I get "Server connection lost" and have to relogin just to get another "Server connection lost". Other combinations result either in:
- HoYo Launcher not opening (or black screen)
- HoYo Launcher not starting Genshin up (or just a flash - quickly opening and closing)
- Genshin loading up into login screen, then getting constant "Check network connection" errors
I'm still kinda new into Linux so I might have messed something up, but other games work fine and it seems I'm not the only one to have those problems.

Mouse config software that supports Glorious mice?
I tried Piper/libratbag but it doesn't support the mouse I use (Glorious model I 2), it shows an undetected screen when I launch it.
The onboard profile on my Model I 2 hasn't worked for me, or maybe it doesn't have onboard profiles, not sure.
I already tried a Sway, and Input Remapper, neither do what I actually want, that being binding scroll up/down to a button and remapping more than 2 side buttons.
Ive also tried running Glorious core through wine, but that just left Core broken and non-functional.
Are there alternative mice software that allow the actuation of debounce and liftoff? Ideally with button remapping.

My match-3 shoot 'em up launches today! Linux supported at launch!
Non Steam linux gaming??
I'll go back to linux (when I stop using Windows without dualbooting)... Anyway what I want to know is it really that simple to use non steam games if exe files? Can I play my non steam games that I've added using steams "add non steam games" function or will there be errors somewhere from the games files? Ik there's proton and everything but it's due to wanting to use steam link to play on the TV too far from my pc which is why I'm asking, and I didn't know of steam link until recently but am loving it on windows (11.exe stopped working.stuffed) [Just curious and maybe for the other curious folk that may not know]

8 BitDo Ultimate Software 2
So 8BitDo Ultimate 2 controller has native linux support if you connect it through bluetooth. The dongle however has much better latency than bluetooth, with an 1000 hz polling rate and about 1ms latency. Both work fine on my Endeavour OS install, but of course I want all the features of the controller with the lowest latency. Usually bluetooth is fine, but I was curious if there was anyway to use the Ultimate 2 software even though in the past the Ultimate software didn't work.
Well I don't know what changed, but when I clicked the software with my default system wine install...it worked perfectly. I was able to reconfigure the controller, save the profile, and use it just like on Windows. Others might want to test to see if it works for them too, but it looks now you can use the xinput mode for "speed" and still get to customize the controller, and the bluetooth for gyro (because the controller only supports gyro in bluetooth mode regardless of OS) Really awesome, makes it viable for fighting games but also still generally useful for anything
