So after having several problems on Fedora, I decided to try CachyOS instead, installed the steamvr beta, and my quest 2 doesn't connect, it sees my pc running steam, but it's saying vr streaming is only supported on local networks, which, they are on the same network. My pc is connected through powerline and my quest uses wifi, but they are connected to the same router.

And on my PC's end, if I try to start steamvr manually, it tells me to plug in my headset?

Would I be better off just dual booting windows for this? I am at my wit's end

I got back into CS2 after a long time and while i enjoyed playing it, i immediately felt something is off regarding my mouse input. Something that wasn't present when i configured additional WM without any compositing and overhead - Fluxbox(X11). I'm very sensitive to any kind of input lag, likely due to the fact I played competetive shooters for 20+ years now. So I did some googling and found a great article that confirmed my suspicions and kind of validated why I do keep fluxbox + X11 for CS2 around.

I have an omen laptop and I’m trying to make it so I can gain fan control on Linux mint (running a dual boot system)

I tried running it through omen-fan-compatibility or something like that and while it passed the first compatibility check, it stopped at the EC test as Linux is reading my CPU temp as 255C and it’s unable to continue from there. I don’t want to keep using windows for gaming, but without the possibility for fan control… I just can’t use Linux for it.

Any other omen laptop people know what I could do? All windows tools I use read the cpu temp as what it actually I s, and the temp is read accurately in bios as well.

Hello!

I’ve switched the 10 year-old son of a friend to Linux (Bazzite) for his first computer. I’d say he’s globally fine with it (not enthusiastic) but he’s getting frustrated by his favorite games not running on Linux.

He likes online shooters such as Splitgate: Arena Reloaded, and is kept away from Fortnite, Call of Duty: Black Ops VI, Delta Force, and many others due to anticheats not working on Linux.

So far, he’s been enjoying Roblox shooter sub-games (using Sober) but I imagine he’ll soon want to play more realistic-looking games.

I understand that competitive online shooters are the #1 area where anticheats are used, so I don’t expect the situation to improve drastically for future games. And while I try to steer him away and into other games genres (Let’s see if he likes Dead Cells), I’d like to ask for recent(ish) online shooters that run on Linux.

Bear in mind that PEGI 16+ games are totally out of the question for the time being. PEGI 10+ games will be considered.

I’ve identified ARC Raiders so far. Anything else?

EDIT:

Others have suggested The Finals. Duly noted. :-)

Hello, I installed Niri + DankMaterialShell to give it a test, I tested Need For Speed: Underground 2 on Lutris, but while it works perfectly, it doesn't let me move my mouse beyond the left side, even with changing the display scale, so I'm looking for a solution to fix the mouse issue. Thanks.

I have always dual booted simply to play games.

I thought now I have some time I should see if Linux gaming has really improved.

I found installing steam games works pretty well.

So i thought why install some of older games.

Steam didn't work, Lutris didn't work . I could spend hours trying to get them installed and working.

The obvious conclusion though is to waste hours fiddling or just continue to dual boot.

I looked on line for guides found a few, all failed. So I wonder when will if ever we be able to install the games we bought using Linux?

If you have a guide i would be grateful for the share but given i boot into windows install and play not sure linux is worth the time and tweaking.

To be clear i could if I spend time maybe get stuff to work, i just dont see why i should waste that time.
