Hey all, I'm trying to get back into Linux gaming again, and I recently installed CachyOS KDE Plasma with the gaming-meta and gaming-applications post install via their wiki. I was hoping it would make things a bit smoother, and while that remains to be seen, I'm having a really hard time getting my DualSense controller to work as a controller when trying to run a game through Wayland.

I have the controller connected via USB-C cable, and it functions as essentially a laptop Trackpad. I've played around with turning the steam controller stuff off, as well as the launch option PROTON_NO_STEAMINPUT=1 and PROTON_PREFER_SDL=1, but to no avail. The game I'm mostly referring to in this example (Elden Ring Nightreign) should be natively compatible with the DualSense, but I can't get it to work.

Is there something I'm missing to get the controller working as well, a controller? Thank you for any help.

Well, there it is. It's now official after earlier reports that EA (Electronic Arts) is being sold off to an investor consortium.

I know people found a lot of issues previously on the alphas. So how is game compatibility now?

What should I do? My game CS2 is pixelated and the FPS is very low.

I don't know what to do, I've tried everything.

This is what the game looks like, I have it in pixels with low fps, my settings are low

Im kinda breaking my head. im using Ubuntu 24.04(XORG) and steam with the debian packagemanager to avoid sandboxing headaches. but i cant get the Sound to work on VR games. with qpwgraph, i can get it routed for some games but its horrible quality. the selected output doesnt matter, as in aux speakers or bluetooth headphones dont change it. normal desktop sounds. like videos or flatscreen games can be played on the vr. just all games managed thru steam vr dont get sound or if manually rerouted with horrible analog noise

does anyone have an idea how to get the sound to connect correctly?

So im currently using cachyOS, but this has happened to me using mint also. I start the game and everything runs normal until the audio from the game stops working. The only thing that seems to work its to restart the game.

Hello community

I want to build my gaming PC with Linux, but I would appreciate it if you could share the hardware you currently have and what has worked for you, so I can get a guide on what I should buy.

One thing I'm clear about is that the motherboard and processor must be AMD, for compatibility with Linux.

I'd also like, if possible, if the motherboard has a Thunderbolt C port, but if the recommended one doesn't, there's no problem. It also wants to have built-in Wi-Fi, although I know there can be issues with that, so if it doesn't, there's no problem.

Just so you know, my budget is $800, but any amount beyond that is welcome.

I'd really appreciate any information you could share.

Anyone else noticing a pretty big difference in the performance vs running Windows? I only ask because the videos I've seen, admittedly a little old, show performance to be pretty much equal on the platforms.

Running a 13600k, 32GB RAM, and 9070XT with all the settings maxed out and when running around the Shooting Range I'm noticing:

• Around 80FPS on CachyOS with Mesa 25.3 and PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 FSR4_WATERMARK=1 game-performance %command launch options
• Around 110FPS on Windows 11 with latest drivers.

Tried different versions of Proton and disabling FSR4 but looks to have little effect.
