As the question says, I'm new to Linux (ubuntu), used windows for most of my life got tired with Microsoft turning everything to crap and switched to Linux. Mostly satisfied with everything other than gaming. I saw a few posts saying how heroic or lutris are the best launchers to play windows games on linux but I can't figure out how to make them work no matter what I do. Can somebody help me fix this up?

Looking to make the switch to Linux pretty soon and leaning heavily towards CachyOS. Have decent-ish knowledge of Linux via running my NAS and a little Optiplex server for years. System is a 9800X3D with a 9070XT.

Specific Questions: * I have a HDR OLED Ultrawide. I know that HDR is still pretty hit or miss on Linux, but looks like some flavours of Proton can now get it working via env variables. Are there any other gotchas I should know about? How is the SDR -> HDR mapping in Linux for desktop? I know it's bad in Windows and recommended to leave it off until playing a HDR game. * How's FSR4/RDNA4 support on Linux now? I know it was experimental for quite a while. And by extension - how's Optiscaler with Linux? I know they include some .sh files now to make installation easier. * I use Firefly Luciferin to capture my screen. Anything I should know there (especially regarding HDR)? * How's VR on Linux these days? I understand ALVR allows wireless streaming. I don't play VR games that frequently, and can keep a Windows install if that's gonna be the best answer (at least until Deckard/Valve revitalizes Linux VR). * My other main hobbies/daily uses are: 3D printing/modelling/CAD, FPV drones, video editing. Anything that I should be aware of there which might be an issue? Seems like most of the apps I use are on Flathub/have native Linux support. * Was hoping to use Gnome as something different to the usual Windows UX, but understand it's lagging a bit in Wayland/HDR support. Am I better off just sticking with KDE rather than trying to go with Gnome?

Anyone know if you can change a wine folders' default settings?

I'm referring to wine runner folders that Steam and Lutris picks up from ~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d?

Ideally I'd like to have each of my runners to share default settings when it comes to Wine Config.

It annoys me that runners from Glorious-GE have the Desktop Integration/Folders section set up so that symlinks get created in my home directory.

I'm referring to the Folders section here:

I'd love to unset that globally so I don't have to configure this for every "game" that uses a wine runner in lutris.

Thank you!

I'm so confused. This laptop ran games fine. I can play minecraft with shaders. But now I can't play Dead by Daylight or Deep Rock Galactic for the 2 fps after the intro screens.

Lenovo Ideapad 5 2-in-1 16" with Integrated AMD Radeon 780M graphics, and OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I have plenty of storage space and RAM. I completely reinstalled steam and proton, tried different proton versions, rebooted, updated my system...help

I recently acquired a Thrustmaster T16000-M to use with Star Citizen. I run SC on Linux Mint using the LUG helper script, and Star Citizen does not recognize the joystick in-game. Below are the details. I hope someone can help me troubleshoot this.

• The joystick works in evtest.
• It works in Steam games like War Thunder.
• If I load up wine control by itself, the joystick is detected under dinput, but not xinput.
• I'm using the latest LUG helper script, and if I load up the wine control settings through the LUG helper script (4.4), the joystick does not show up at all.
• I've tried plugging the joystick into its own USB port, as well as into a USB 3.0 hub.
• I've tried moving the joystick around and pushing buttons while SC loads up.

Thanks in advance.

Hey folks,

I’m hitting a weird bug with GNOME + the Dash to Panel extension. Whenever I quit a game that was running inside a Gamescope session, the panel completely disappears. Sometimes the last game frame even stays frozen on the screen.

The panel only comes back if I “poke” the desktop — for example, opening the left-side Steam menu makes it reappear.

I checked my GNOME logs and didn’t see anything obvious related to Dash to Panel crashing. This only happens after exiting Gamescope sessions, never during normal desktop use. From what I’ve read, it might be related to Gamescope’s virtual connector changes.

Has anyone else seen this, and do you know a fix or workaround (other than restarting GNOME Shell or toggling the extension manually)?

System:

• GNOME Shell 48.4
• Dash to Panel extension
• Gamescope (gamescope-session)
• Nobara 6.16.8-200.nobara.fc42.x86_64

Thanks!

I need help with a problem I'm having when using Proton on Steam to play CSGO2. The thing is, I can access the game just fine, but when I try to join any online match, this message pops up and won't let me in.

I also have a problem before entering the game, which is that every time the Vulkan shaders load, it gets to 50% and then takes about 20 minutes to load the other half.

Has anyone else had the same problem? Thank you.

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with some games but not all with scrolling counting as multiple scrolls. I have had this happen in CS2 and Black Ops 3, but no other games so far. The issue is when I scroll in CS2, it will scroll multiple times on one scroll up/down instead of just once. It happens with my Logitech G604, but I have tried my old Razer Naga Hex v1 and the issue is there as well.

Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS x86_64

Kernel 6.14.0-29-generic

Wayland

Logitech G604/Razer Naga Hex v1

In evtest one scroll will show multiple REL_WHEEL_HI_RES value -15 and occasionally a REL_WHEEL value -1.

I tried turning off High Res scrolling via /etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks:

[Logitech G604] MatchName=*Logitech G604* AttrEventCode=-REL_WHEEL_HI_RES;-REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES;

This did disable High Res Scrolling, but did not fix the issue in CS2.

I also tried setting the scrolling to 1 in imwheel, which worked in xev, but also did not work in game.

For CS2 specifically, I changed from native to Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper) which was recommended from ProtonDB for some graphic issues I was having, but the scrolling issue was there too. Not that I thought it would work, but I tried using vulkan instead of DirectX as well. I switched from Wayland to xorg and the issue is there too.

This is very confusing for me and I can't figure out what is going on so anything helps!

Any glaring issues I should be aware of? recommendations? notes?

Also, I'm planning on using ubuntu, so if any of y'alls have any comments I'd be glad to hear. I'm not opposed to downloading bazzite and dual booting between when I have uni related work and when I want to game.

Thanks in advance!

I'm using Pop!_OS and trying to connect my Switch 2 Joycons to Steam to use as a controller. I haven't done this before. I got joycond installed, and I have hid-nintendo by default, but I've run into an error before that point- they're not showing up for Bluetooth.

The Switch itself is turned off right now, so they're not connected to that. I've tried turning Bluetooth off and back on again. It's picking up signals even from my neighbors, so I don't think it's a range issue, but I tried holding the Joycons closer just in case. I've tried holding the button down for various lengths of time, and following one suggestion, I tried renaming my computer to "Nintendo." They're still not showing up for me to pair with.

Anyone care to share their 5600x benchmark scores using Passmark Performance Test? For some reason, on recent installs, even with a fresh bootable iso of EndeavorOS, my benchmark is hovering around 1800 after many tests. It's about 2300 on Windows now and used to be around that on EndeavorOS last year. Something changed and not sure what.

Since Apex Legends pulled the plug on Linux last year. We have nothing pretty much for this game mode type. It really sucks as this is legit my favorite game mode and after 3 months of being on Linux only. I am starting to get the urge to jump back onto Windows 11 just for Apex/Fortnite. I wish Embark Studios would make a BR mode in The Finals or something, since they are so adamant on supporting Linux. I don't see that happening though, because when you ask on their discord they go insane and say the world doesn't need another BR game, even though Linux literally doesn't have any BR games from what i can see lmao. I know about Arc Raiders and even though Extraction shooters are close to BR, it just doesn't have the same vibes. I do plan on trying it out though on the next open play test to see if it is at least something that could hold my attention, because The Finals is just not it for me. I was bored after playing it for a day. Do we think Linux will ever have a proper BR game or is Linux just doomed to be single player games only pretty much and PVE type of games?

Hey folks,

I noticed that Debian 13 (Trixie) stable doesn’t ship gamescope anymore, not even in contrib/non-free. Meanwhile, Sid (unstable) and Forky (testing) still have it.

Has anyone here managed to get gamescope working on Trixie without pulling in unstable repos? Is it better to backport from Sid, or just build straight from Valve’s GitHub source?

I’d like a safe approach that won’t mess with my stable system. Any advice from people who’ve done this would help a lot.

Thanks.

I'm running gadget through wine and I just can't seem to get it to pair with the game at all. Moving the gadget files to the games folder or the common folder or the dark souls remastered folder didn't work. This is supposed to be as simple as open gadget, open dark souls, load character, gadget pairs automatically. But this isn't working. What am I doing wrong?
