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 :/

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 :

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

Revhead: Update 52 "Performance and stability" released https://playingtux.com/articles/revhead-update-52-performance-and-stability-released?lang=en #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming

People on the Helldivers subreddit are saying the game is pretty much unplayable right now but that hasn't been my experience at all. This game has been rock solid for me on my Arch system over 40ish hours in the last couple weeks. No crashes, no freezing, very occasional audio issues with explosions but that's the only problem I ever have. I have a 6800xt and consistently get higher fps than my friend with a 4080 ti on Windows. I'm very curious if I'm just lucky or if the game is actually a significantly better experience on Linux.

I had previously only installed Arch on a VM and for that effect I had used archinstall - I learned archinstall is kind of crap on real hardware.

Downloaded my ISO, tried Ventoy, Ventoy booted, Arch would not boot from Ventoy - ok, no problem, I have a hundred flash drives, let's Rufus this onto one of those. Turns out Arch is reaaaaaaally specific with how you configure it's boot drive, I've never had to think twice about this step, should have been the simplest one. Wouldn't even boot. I had to change the partition scheme on the drive, and do something else, can't quite remember anymore, but I refer you to a mix of the Arch Linux install guide and chatgpt (a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do after an hour of wondering if I was too dumb for Arch - I may be). Anyways, got it to boot into the arch installer. I found this guide on YouTube - https://youtu.be/xTqOKMJdP5c?si=Sq9GoOBksD7L5V_K . It's very good, the guy explains things perfectly, unfortunately, as you will read later on, the first part of this guide didn't work for me. So, I went about trying to use archinstall. First try, archinstall doesn't launch, comes up with different errors, like a bad USB port, serial bus failure, I tried to find solutions but I didn't really see anyone with this problem. So I had to rack my brain trying to find a solution, I reran and instead of just looking through all of the errors - the function that errored out was not playing nice with my Nobara btrfs partition. Maybe I am smart enough for Arch! I nuked the partition, I wanted to wipe Nobara out anyways, just assumed Arch could work like any other installer and clear the drive before installing the new partition table. And so, after about 3 and a half hours, there it was, the wonderful, the beautiful Arch install screen. I followed my guide, and some notes I had from my VM install, I was flying through, even selection the additional packages was a flash even though I went to all corners of the alphabet. Finally it was the moment of truth, I clicked install, and the text was buzzing through the screen - my mind wandered through the possibilities of gnome customisation, through the perilous journey of installing Nvidia drivers, through the entry into the temple of Proton GE, in my mind I was Linux Indiana Jones - and then it errors out. But my dreams hadn't faded yet, Grub had installed! So I boot into Arch Linux! And it does not boot, the Grub install was corrupted. It was ok, I though maybe I had overwhelmed my own hubris in choosing btrfs again, ext4 was more my speed, and again... A corrupted boot install. My Indi fedora and whip were disappearing from my grip, but I was not yet ready to give up. On to the CLI, if archinstall won't do it's job then I will do it myself! I fly through partitioning the very thing I was most scared of fucking up, I set up my EFI to 512 mb, should be fine it's only arch! He said in his naivity, the rest goes to the filesystem - I had forgotten my swap partition, damn my eagerness, but I figured why not just create a swap file later. So I proceed, I install the base packages and the Linux kernel, I set up fstab... I chroot into the mount. I could feel it now, I could hear myself type my password into the sddm login manager screen on my cherry red switches, I install grub, gnome, gnome tweaks, sddm, I enable NetworkManager, I enable sddm - but both fail. I go into my grub install - and it works, I go into the tty, from there I manage to enable sddm. After half an hour of trying to figure out why I wasn't connected to the internet (I forgot I failed to enable NetworkManager) I was installing the catchy kernel - but my boot was out of space... NO! How?! 512 mb has never been too little for me! My dreams were shattered I was tired after several hours, but I could not fail. I splashed cold water on my face and went back to the live iso. Again I wipe the drives, set my mirrors and get into the partironing, the mounting, I install every package in a single mutiline command. And I fail to enable sddm again, but this time, this time I remembered something I had not done, I didn't enable multilib, so I do, and I update pacman, and I try again - and it works. Turns out you need to enable multilib to enable network manager and sddm.

And so here we were, armed with a far larger (I went a bit overboard I go like 2 GiB of EFI it was silly, oh well, sue me). I blaze through my installation, I get the catchy repo, the chaotic aur repo, I set my mirrors, I install the kernel and install my Nvidia drivers. I reboot, I am now on the catchy kernel. I install steam - I did it through flatpaks, maybe it was a mistake but in truth I manage to play jump space on launch, so so far so good. I game, I install more games, I try those, Helldivers, Rematch, I try everything, and it works. It works! I am gaming on arch, I did it, granted with the help of multiple guides and chatgpt, but I had head scratching moments, and I still did it!

It was 1 am by this point and I decided to go ahead and call it a night. Later I will customize Gnome, get a keyboard launcher, not sure if I will try Albert or Ulauncher, get a drop-down terminal, get my windows fonts, get docker installed so I can set up my dev environment. Set up GE and Proton Plus, maybe I will do Lutris and Heroic even though it is increasingly rare that I go outside of Steam and I despise Epic.

So, this was my Linux journey, a couple of my problems and fixes. It was genuinely hard, and tbh it took more than one day, but still. I don't know if I will ever distrohop again both because I am loving arch and because of how much work this was.

Hi yall. I'm running minecraft through prism launcher on my steam deck in desktop mode, and I've noticed some weird lag spikes only while discord is running. These spikes happen only in minecraft wether im in the menu, single player or multiplayer, and wether I'm in vc or not. I've tried disabling all mods and mod loader, disabling all resource packs, as well as changing some discord settings like hardware acceleration to no avail. Also these lag spikes happen (I think) exactly every one second for one frame, if this helps. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
