When I run my script, my pokemon game saves are copied from their default directory to a backup directory I have. ~/Documents/Pokemon/save-backup/game-name. The save file is copied to its respective folder (emerald.sav would copy as ~/Documents/Pokemon/save-backup/emerald/ddmmyyyyhhmm.sav). My save-backup is then pushed to my GitHub where I can access my saves from any device connected to the Internet. I have my script saved in .local/bin/Pokemon-Backup so it can be launched from dmenu.

Some games work fine on CachyOS/KDE Plasma/Wayland, but randomly crash on Linux Mint/Cinnamon/X11.

Does the DE or display server matter, or is it purely because CachyOS has a newer Nvidia driver?

Recently I have made a post here that I have periodic net jitter while playing online games such as DotA2 and CS2 on linux. Jitters that last 5-10 seconds, once every idk, 3-6 minutes, I didn't really time the periods, but they were pretty often so that they could impact my playing. And I solved the problem! While I found almost no information online about this solution, I figured I should make this post to document it, maybe it will help someone in the future, especially since gaming on linux is becoming more and more common.

So I exclusively use Wifi, because I only have a gaming laptop and not a PC, and I move it around the house often. I remember playing these games on Windows not too long ago and I had no problems with jitter. Same laptop, same router/ISP. I have once recently tried a wired ethernet connection at someone else's house, and the problem dissapeared, but I don't have wires inside my house and I don't intend to have them. So I figured the problem has to be from Linux.

I am currently using Arch, but I have found out that wifi drivers are kernel based, so distros don't really have much to do with it. Having a rolling release on arch means that I always pretty much have the latest drivers, so the problem has to be somewhere else.

I have found online and while using chatgpt that the drivers might force power saving. I have tried to force them not to, but that did nothing.

Claude 4.1 was just released, the latest model, and I asked it about my problem, and it actually came with the solution eventually! No other chat solved it for me.

It has to do with the suppliant. So there is this thing called a supplicant, a daemon that runs on top of the drivers that handles wifi authentication and encryption and others. By default I had wpa_supplicant running, an older supplicant, but widely used. Claude said I should try changing the supplicant to iwd, a newer and better one, developed by Intel. And after I changed it to iwd, my net jitter was eradicated!

I have asked chatgpt to explain what is a supplicant and what it does, and I will share the link to the chat with you, since chatgtp will explain what's going on way better: https://chatgpt.com/share/68ce85a8-5140-800c-9881-d76a278e5a50

Basically, as far as I understand, every once in a while this supplicant refreshes authentication keys with the router and stores them in the driver. And I think when wpa_supplicant did that, I had jitters in games, like I said, once every 3-6 minutes, jitters that lasted 5-10 seconds. Chanding to iwd, a newer and more performant supplicant, this problem is no more.

Changing the supplicant is as easy as installing iwd with your package manager, and with systemctl stopping and disableing the wpa_supplicant daemon and starting the iwd daemon. I remember that I also made a config file where I described the iwd daemon and started it to be sure it will stay like that. I'm not going to put all the instructions here, since every AI nowdays will provide you better instructions when you say that you want to change the supplicant from wpa_supplicant to iwd.

So that's it! Hope this information will help someone one day.

Im using the standard launch options to stretch 3840 x1440 to 5120 x 1440 for stretched but after 1 hour it crashes my game.

Is there a workaround or another way to add a custom resolution to the game without gamescope

I've been trying to figure out how to get a game (Aion) with Active Anticheat to work on CachyOS, tried multiple configurations, libraries, etc... And even tried to make my own private server of that game (Aion) to try to figure out what kind of files and permissions I need to make it run. And doesn't matter what I put there, the Anticheat "dump" everything. I'm certain now that those softwares are just data miners getting our informations so their devs can sells it... I've given up all games that uses any kind of Anticheat, not because I can't run it, but because it just steal our data to be sell... That is sad at certain point.

This post is just me thinking...

I've been trying to play overwatch 2 for a while now, I'm on bazzite Nvidia edition and when launching it through steam it tries processing Vulkan shaders, the only issue is that it takes hours (probably, I haven't waited for it to finish cause I have shit to do on my pc) When I skip it though, the game runs but it's REAALLY slowz I have an rtx 3050ti mobile and I'm getting sub 30 fps at all settings low and 50% render quality When playing on windows I used to get about 144 fps all the time but now when I switched it does this.

I can‘t get the Simucube Tuner to work properly. Installed it like the simucube true Drive driver with wine (they have a manual on their Website) but when I run it there is only a black window rendered. I can click in the top right to close/minimize the window. So it seems like the Software is running but the rendering is broken. I already tried to change the rendering Pipeline from D3D to OpenGL and tried a bunch of different settings through winecfg.

I can‘t go back to true drive because then I need to downgrade the simucube base firmware.

Any ideas how to fix this issue?

I need help getting the 8bitdo ultimate working on NixOS. It works on my NixOS mini PC and my Phone just fine but not on the desktop for some odd reason.

I sadly lost the USB receiver and the USB port, broke otherwise I would just use that :/

Thanks In advance!

I want to play Final Fantasy 16 but I can only launch it once, when I try to launch it a second time it just hangs. I can "fix" this by switching proton version which makes the game boot once, although I have to compile shaders every time so it is very tedious. I used "PROTON_LOGS=1" to gather some logs, and a specific log is being spammed after a bunch of other logs, I'll paste the log-spam here :

Logs right before spam:

I have tried several proton version, ranging from proton ge 9-27 to 10-14 plus proton experimental.

So Im gonna probably soon get a new gaming laptop and i want to use both linux (nobara) and windows 11. Some people have big problems with grub, that its disappeering because of windows overwriting the boot loader and then they cant boot linux and in worst scenarios even windows. Many people use 2 hard drives to aboid this problem but its not really possible or easy to do on laptop. My idea was to use a external ssd that i just plug into my laptop with usb and have windows installed on it and whenever i want to play a game that is not available on linux like cs2 faceit, fortnite, lol etc, i just plug it in and boot from the external drive. Is it possible and worth it? Also how to do it if possible?

Hi everyone,

after recent updates to my arch system it seems that my xbox controller is not working as it should with steam. i can use it in the steam ui and in big picture as well as in game but only to recall the steam overlay, i can't move anything else in game. i tried with my old controller (also an xbox controller) and it worked the same so i guess it's because of an update to either bluedevil or steam itself which i updated recently...

what i tried up to now: i tried both using the controller cabled (to exclude bluedevil) and reinstalling steam. it seems that the controller works the same even cabled so it may not be a bluetooth issue. about reinstalling steam nothing changed...

Does anyone have the same issue?

Yesterday, I installed Cinnamon Mint on my computer, but I've noticed some weird lines in the distance when I play TF2 (They are a little hard to see on the video). Could it be some rendering issue? I have a GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and I'm using the NVIDIA driver nvidia-driver-580-open version 580.65.06-0ubuntu0.24.04.4

Valve updated Proton Experimental for September 19th, adding their usual assortment of fixes for running Windows games new and old on Linux PCs and Steam Deck.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

I have a PC that used to run Debian Bookworm, I had installed ALVR on to a Quest 2 and that PC and was able to connect and use it.

The AMD RX 7900 XTX would suffer and occasional desktop hang, which was fixed in a kernel release so I pulled the kernel and mesa drivers from backports. When I upgraded to Trixie I did make sure the backport libraries were updated.

I noticed recently SteamVR and the Quest 2 Steam Application allow a connection through the Application however each time I attempt this SteamVR connects then then throws an '450 Error, you may need to upgrade your graphics card drivers'.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I need, or how to diagnose the issue. Most of my google results are windows users being told to update Nvidia drivers.

PC:

• Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 13
• KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6
• KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0
• Qt Version: 6.8.2
• Kernel Version: 6.12.43+deb13-amd64 (64-bit)
• Graphics Platform: Wayland
