I've installed PCSX2 on my system to play some games and was quite disappointed by the fact that it runs worse than on Windows (example: speed drops from 100% to 75% all the time in Midnight Club 3). After some time of googling I've found out that the issue is Wayland support that was added not too long ago. Tested on X11 and it works flawlessly. Question is: is there some way of running PCSX2 on wayland without performance loss or I need to switch to X11 every time I want to play?

Beyond All Reason is an incredibly impressive free and open source RTS, with The Lightbringer update out now that's a huge advancement for the visuals. If you love massive battles you need to play this one.

Back in August 2024, Microsoft released an update for various versions of Windows including Windows 10 and 11 that broke dual-booting with Linux on some setups. They've now finally solved it.

Hi, has anyone tried hooking up a PC to a living room TV? Is it as seamless as using a console? I’m thinking of building a PC and installing Bazzite or SteamOS. Console game prices get expensive in the long run, and I already have a big library on Steam, Epic, and GOG — not to mention 🏴‍☠️.

Right now, I have a laptop with a 3060, but gaming at desk is not enjoyable on weekdays. Plus, the constant Windows 11 updates make me lose interest in gaming altogether. I’m okay with tweaking and modding stuff on weekends. Surprisingly not many guides on youtube about this.

I’m comfortable playing with either a keyboard and mouse or a controller from the sofa / recliner. So, is this setup feasible? Or should I just forget it and get a PS5 instead?

My 3440x1440 doesnt appear with native game (by native, i mean proton & shit obviously)

To "bypass" that issue, i run gamescope with -H/-W to force my resolution.
But I there a way to avoid gamescope for fix that kind of issue ?

Lutris, or steam. And mainly use proton-GE

I am trying to play Dark Souls III.

My OS is : Arch
My GPU is : Nvidia Geforce 920MX.

When i use wine game.exe , the game runs fine but it uses the iGPU instead of the dGPU so the performance is terrible

using prime-run wine game.exe , the game uses the dGPU but it freezes after a couple of minutes.

Is prime-run the improper way of getting wine to use the dGPU?

I cannot get it work on ArchLinux with proton-GE, proton hotfix or proton experimental and also native wine 10.06. Always crashes at this point and also seems that has no audio, but I'm not sure if has any audio until this screen. I cannot test many different versions because denuvo locks it for 24 hours(I already had one lockup), but I tested proton-GE 10.1, 9.27, 9.22, 9.16. I'm using heroic launcher, but also tried with Epic game launcher with same results. I have an Amd Rx 6600 video card. I don't get any useful info from proton log too except these errors:

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libgamemodeauto.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

but I didn't find any solution searching about them. Any ideas?

I have tried the Android version with Waydroid, but the performance is not good enough.

I have installed the Nexon Launcher via Lutris, but every time I click MapleStory Worlds, it returns to the main menu of Nexon Launcher. If I try to open it from the web, it asks me to install NGM to launch the game, but I can't find a way to run NGM on Linux, no matter Bottles or Lutris.

Is there any way to make the NGM work?

Hi guys. My input lag is usually fine with my DualSense controller. However, regularly the entire controller looks up. And it accepts no inputs, but the inputs ingame stay , so the character just for example continues running. This even stays when i disable Bluetooth and i have to restart the game.

Can anyone tell me if theres any fix for this? Im using a Bluetooth dongle by ugreen, but this problem is much worse than on windows.

After some reading on ProtonDB, I tried to install a custom proton version (GE-Proton9-25-GTA) on steam to see if that would help with the comparability. However when I launch the game it is never able to start. Not even like launches and then crashes, it will say it is launching on steam and then just never do anything.

Going into the compatibility tab in the game's properties and changing the proton version to experimental, or any other version hasn't worked.

I'm a bit confused on what to do. I can't find much of anything online about this at all, so I am unsure where to start. I could use some pointers

Distro: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS

I have tried change tabs and alt+f4 and didn't work until I force shutdown by holding the power button for a seconds. And this happened. Also tried mount with Terminal and didn't work. The HDD format is NTFS. What should I do?

I am attempting to calibrate Ch products fighterstick , CH products pro throttle, and CH products pro pedals. They are connected via USB.

The challenges - evdev-joystick doesn't allow calibration. This is a problem as I need to set a deadzone for the fighterstick, and the throttle is not reading the full Z axis, aka all back still sets it at 15%, and all the way forward about 95%. With a lot of monkeying, (command) [evdev-joystick [ --e /path/to/event/device/file --m minimum_value --M maximum_value [ --a axis_index ] ]] I can set a range for the throttle, but I'm never able to set a specific deadzone. (command) evdev-joystick [ --e /path/to/event/device/file --d deadzone_value [ --a axis_index ] ]

This is because the axis ranges from 0 - 255, with center at 128, but any attempt to set a deadzone does not accept a range and instead seems to think that my center is 0 and the deadzone should have a range from 0. Evdev shows up under "/dev/input/eventX".

That leaves me with the older system, Jscal / Jstest-gtk, which show up under "/dev/input/jsX". The devices are showing up correctly but after calibrating the devices do not save their calibration. Attempting to save the calibration with jscal -store /dev/input/jsXm returns "jscal: joystick has different number of axes (5) than specified in command line (0)".

I suspect that there is a config file somewhere where I need to change the number of axis specified, but I do not know where that file is.

I'd also like to know how to tell programs to use the jsX input instead of ev-dev's /eventX, as the joystick shows up in both places.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've been banging my head on the wall for over 20 hours to get this far.

I have installed the joystick-support package.

I used Windows since ever nur now I am building a new gaming PC base on AMD and consider to switch. The problem I hav is, I don't now which version is best for me. I heard mint is good for beginners but also heard Fedora is on of the best for gaming. Maybe I really need cloud integration from OneDrive and Google. I heard for that there are also good versions. Have you any advice which linux version I should take?

For some reason when I play Bauldurs Gate 3 or Wolfenstein New Order. I play for 5 minutes then my game crashes. Can still hear sound and the game going, computer still on but it's completely frozen. I thought it was my old gpu so I recently upgraded my gpu to an Radeon 6600 and was able to play those games perfectly good since I upgraded. Even kindom come deliverance ran pretty well. But now I'm experiencing the same problems again. The only game I can play without any issues is counter strike 2. I dont know what the issue is. I also run a ryzen 5 3600.

steam won't let me install ark I was trying to install ARK on kubuntu, and when it downloads, it shows that it weighs 0 mb and downloads immediately, then when I press “play” it says “game executable is missing”, I have 250gb of available space so I don't think it's storage, although it won't let me select which dlcs to use.

I have a specific game that I wanted to mod. Modding the game on Linux apparently requires a case-insensitive filesystem, and I was told that VFAT was a good option. Luckily I had a 512 gig drive on hand that I was not currently using, and so I formatted and then went to set Steam to recognize it as a valid installation location. However, whenever I went into the menu to inform Steam of its existence, it does not seem to want to do that. I clicked "Add Drive," and it brought up my file manager, and then I clicked select on the drive, and it just created an empty 'steamapps' folder. Attempting to select it again creates, humorously, another empty steamapps folder inside the first one. Does anyone know a good way to fix this? For reference, I am running Linux Mint 22.1 x86_64, and I've made sure in both the GUI and the Terminal that my whole system is up-to-date.

I just got a Samsung Odyssey G5 1440p monitor to replace my 1080p Acer monitor. Everytime I reboot my PC, the monitor brightness lowers to about 15%, even though I manually set it to max brightness. This does not happen with the Acer monitor. I tried different settings in the monitor options, so I'm guessing it's some sort of Linux issue. Using Arch with kde plasma 6.3.5.
