maccel - Raw Accel on Linux
I haven’t seen many solid breakdowns of this tool or the quirks involved in configuring it in a way that actually makes sense. This video clears things up and gives a straight comparison to Raw Accel on Windows for anyone moving to Linux and looking to replicate the same feel with maccel.

Can .iso file be mounted so WINE sees it as a disc in the/a CD-ROM drive? or is this the wrong question entirely?
I don't understand why this isn't a bigger question. It has been asked before by others, but was not really answered.
I have an old game on CD that works in Mint/Winetricks, in the physical CD-ROM drive. In Winetricks I just use "open Explorer" then use the autorun on the cd, and it installed perfectly, and plays, too.
But I can't figure out how to use the same winetricks to install a game that has no physical disc, I just have the .iso file. I don't want to burn a .iso file to a physical disc.
How can I make winetricks handle a .iso file with the same ease and finesse it demonstrates with a physical CD-ROM disc?
If this is the wrong question entirely -- I am guilty of that plenty -- how would you go from a .iso file you got from myrient to the game being installed and you are now playing in in Linux Mint using Winetricks?

What are the best practices playing Full HD using a 4K 120hz VRR TV and AMD PC?
I bought a LG 4k Oled B5 TV that has freesync support, VRR 120hz, but no display port.
My bazzite PC is a Ryzen 7600 with a RX7600 OC, so it can't play 4k.
I never had a 4k tv before. Should I just configure Bazzite/Steam to use 1080p and freesync and that's it? I hear about upscale, about no VRR on Linux using HDMI, but i'm a little lost.

I think I finally figured out the combination of launch options that will allow Gamescope to work with games that have EAC splash windows in wlroots (Sway/Labwc/etc)
So this is a really annoying (and frankly somewhat niche) bug I've been poking at for a while. Basically with games that display a splash window -- often but not exclusively games that run EAC, such as The Finals, ARC Raiders, or Helldivers 2 -- that initial splash screen will be contained within the Gamescope window, but it would then disappear and while the game process will continue running in the background, that specific window will never become visible, almost like gamescope 'loses' the game window after the splash screen disappears. i've not used gamescope on my desktop because of this, which sucks cuz gamescope does some handy things.
This seems to be an issue especially on wlroots-based compositors such as Sway or Labwc, which is what I use.
There's an issue in the gamescope github tracking this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/1673
After not worrying about it for a long while, I decided to try to make it work, mostly to address an issue of my mouse escaping occasionally from ARC Raiders in full screen (even with 'capture mouse in full screen' enabled in winecfg)
I was able to get it to work with the following combination:
GAMESCOPE_WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -f --force-grab-cursor --backend sdl -- %command%Note: I also have "PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1" set as a global env.
I suspect it might be that GAMESCOPE_WAYLAND_DISPLAY option that did it, I didn't have that set and I'd never come across it before. I still need to test more games, but it seems like this has done well for ARC Raiders and The Finals at least.

Switching from Nvidia to AMD for Linux
I'm currently on Windows with an RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB and R7 5700X3D, playing in 1440p and the experience is great. I use optimized settings for my games (generally the best settings we can find from benchmarkers), DLSS is better than native, and this card has a lot of features like the RTX Super Resolution for watching low res videos. The 8GB VRAM works, sometimes I have to lower the textures to medium but it's not a problem, and I never had to use DLSS Balanced yet (Mostly DLSS Quality) with my optimized settings.
But when I see where Windows is going ; Copilot / AI, Recall, Argentic, Cloud, Bloatwares, Telemetry, Ads, Integration of bing in Windows Search, Updates that restore the bloatwares, hidden checkboxes automatically selected after a Windows update to upload users’ private files to OneDrive, GamePass etc, I just want to get an AMD GPU and switch on Linux.
I already used Linux Mint in the past with my old RX 5600 XT (but for "fun") ; it was a great experience, the graphics drivers were kernel integrated, so I just had to do system updates and it was very fast compared to Windows where I have to update de system, the apps, the chipset and the drivers, reboot for each update, etc.
Actually I'm just thinking about to go back on AMD but I don't know which GPU to choose. I could get an RX 7800 XT which would be 100% enough because I mostly play with optimized graphics settings (even if I have the power) and I'm not an elitist, but the RX 9070 would be a better choice because of FSR 4 and because it will surely get the 3 next FSR release which could make this GPU works and years and years with it's 16 GB.
Also I don't have problem with games. Even if I am on Windows, I am boycotting games that want to take the control of my PC like Battlefield 6 and Valorant, I also boycott Call OF Duty as this licence is destroying gaming. The Finals and CS2 are playable, ARC Raiders is too, and 90% of solo games too, so thanks I'm good.
What I would like some help with would be the choice of the GPU (max 600€), an alternative to RTX Super Resolution and some tips to customize Linux Mint and make it more modern and beautiful than Windows 11 / as good as Mac OS but without copying it. I also would like to know if my DAC (TRN Black Pearl) would work on Linux.
Thanks,

Convince me Linux is better than Windows 11 for gaming
Hi y'all, so for context I'm going to be rebuilding my PC this weekend/in the near future, and have been pretty interested in making the switch to Linux.
Current PC Setup: AMD Ryzen 5800x3d NVIDIA 4090 32GB DDR4 RAM Played on 1440p Monitor Running Windows 10
Setup after upgrades AMD Ryzen 9800x3d NVIDIA 4090 64GB DDR5 RAM Played on 4k Monitor
Anyways, after a few youtube videos, I've become really interested in the prospect of making the switch to Linux, since I'll have to do a fresh OS install when I swap out my mobo and cpu. The things that really interest me is the lack of bloatware that comes with windows (hence why i've been hesitant to switch to 11) and the added privacy by not having lots of hidden tracking shit in your OS that all these big companies are using now.
My PC is primarily for gaming on Steam, using discord, web browsing etc. But mainly gaming. Maybe the odd video editing on DaVinci Resolve once in a blue moon.
After some more research, it seems that Linux doesn't perform as well with gaming than I'd hoped. I've seen some people on forums say it's not a huge performance loss. The performance comparisons I've seen tell a different story. Most of the people I've watched have taken Distros like Bazzite, CachyOS, and maybe one or two others, and compared them to performance on Windows 11. In most games, Linux OS systems are running like 15-20% worse than Windows 11. That's not a minor performance loss. At least that's the case with NVIDIA GPUS. AMD GPUS seem to be almost on par with Windows 11, and in some cases running better than Windows.
The only thing odd about these performance comparisons I've seen is that a lot of these YouTubers are running Windows 11 and Linux on the same machine, on the same harddrive, with different partitions. IDK , that seems kinda sketch to me, but what do I know. I've also seen people in the comments say the reviewer may have not been using the right Steam "Proton" version (I'm still trying to figure out exactly what this is or does, but I understand it helps games run smoother on Linux).
I'd like to hear more your experiences with gaming on Linux and how performance has or hasn't impacted you. Or if these reviewers aren't doing fair comparison between OS's.
Sorry for the long post, I really like the idea of running Linux, but I have a beefy PC I want to get the most performance out of it, and that's what's holding me back right now from making the jump.

why would installing kde fix a gaming issue?
i'm on i3 but was having two issues with two diffirent games, installing kde stopped both issues. why would this be the case? i got the idea from here saying it was the most stable gaming experience, guess they were right ha.

All the games I play run better on Linux!
I normally already used Linux, but I’ve been on Windows for the last 5–6 months because of a few games that require anti-cheat. After realizing I haven’t been playing many online games lately, I decided to switch back to Linux, and my quality of life went up by at least 10x. I’m playing Watch Dogs these days. On Windows I used to get 70–75 FPS in Watch Dogs, and with Lossless Scaling I turned on 2x Frame Generation and played at around 140 FPS, but since my monitor is 180 Hz, I couldn’t get the smoothness I wanted. Today I decided to try Watch Dogs on Linux and noticed I was getting 90–100 FPS, which is almost +20 FPS compared to Windows. So I capped the FPS at 90 and turned on 2x Frame Generation with lsfg-vk, right now I’m getting a stable 180 FPS and it feels super smooth. Also, in my experience, Lossless Scaling causes less input lag on Linux, since my base FPS is already high, I don’t feel any input lag at all. I also get 10 more FPS in Dying Light The Beast and Palworld, and even in games where my FPS is the same as on Windows, the smoothness feels better, I have no idea why. Every time I switch to Linux, I understand better how bad Windows actually is. Games coded for Windows running better on Linux is hilarious.
Btw, my specs:
- GPU: RX 6600 XT
- CPU: R5 3600
- Distro: CachyOS

A Guide to Easy Mouse Profiles - Input Remapper!
Do you have a gaming mouse and would like custom profiles? Multiple profiles? Automatically switch profiles? Well then you've come to the right place!
We will start with this amazing software - Input Remapper (I am not affiliated with this kick ass program, I just really, really like it). Input Remapper will require sudo privileges, and must be running in the background to switch profiles. Input Remapper usage commands can be found here.
Once you have Input Remapper running, click on your mouse (or peripheral) to get started.
Here is where we find our profiles. Click the New button and you will see a new profile named new preset pop up. Click on the new preset to head to the recording session.
Once you are in the recording session you will see 2 columns; the one on the left is our Mouse inputs and the right is what we want the mouse to output to our desktop.
This is a good time to name your profile - add it in the Rename box and hit the Disk/Save button on the right.
Now the fun can begin!
Hit the Add button to start adding your first mouse button. Once added you can edit the name of your mouse button (reload, crouch, back).
Now hit the Record button and click the mouse button you want to edit.
Now you may notice that any key on the keyboard shows up on the right hand column:
This will help us in our next step: setting up the output we want the mouse button to generate. Lets say I want a quick macro - CTRL + V we would simply click on the right column and press the buttons to get the output. Either remember or right it down because we need to add it to the Output box "Enter your output here"
Boom! Our first mouse macro is a success! Now we simply need to repeat the same process for our other buttons.
Now lets learn how to change our profiles on the fly!
Whip open your favorite text editor - I use Kate - and lets make a quick shell script:
#!/usr/bin/sudo bash
input-remapper-control --command start --device "Logitech G604 " --preset "newpreset"
Save your new script and make sure you add the ".sh" to the end of the name so that we can run it as a script. Once saved, double check by right clicking, Properties, going to Permissions, and ticking the Execute box.
Now we can save or symlink the shell script on our desktop (or wherever) and change our profiles by simply double clicking the .sh file.
BONUS - How to automatically change profiles per game.
I use Steam launch options to switch up my profiles per game. Once you have your shell scripts all sorted, give them simple names with no spaces, this makes for easier launch options without the extra /'s.
Your Steam launch options will be something like:
/home/Location-of-Mouse-Profile/MouseProfile.sh
Now if you want to have a profile launch before a game, and then revert back to a different macro, it would look something like:
/home/Location-of-Mouse-Profiles/MouseProfile.sh ; %command% ; /home/Location-of-Mouse-Profiles/Default.sh
Here is an example:
/home/rook/MEGAsync/Input\ Remapper\ Configs/DoomEternal.sh ; %command% ; /home/rook/MEGAsync/Input\ Remapper\ Configs/Default.sh
I hope you enjoyed this guide and long live Input Remapper!
