So I have an issue that's been bothering me quite a bit, where when I play certain games, after like 30 - 40 minutes or so, there will be a random input "breakage" where some of my inputs will get stuck.

It only happens while playing specific games (all of them so far have been 3D), and the game that this has been happening to me most on lately is Warframe.

It happens with no obvious trigger. I could just be playing, and suddenly the "a" key just locks down and I continue moving to the left forever. If I alt-tab out and then back in, and press "a", I stop moving left, however the "a" key becomes non-functional; if I try to press "a" again, simply nothing happens, I just can't use the "a" key anymore. If I click a text box or something that can accept input, it will start spamming "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" forever until I actually physically press the "a" key, at which point it stops. If I click off the text box and click back into it again, it will once again start spamming "aaaaa".

It's important to note that this persists permanently, even after closing the application, and never goes away until a full reboot is performed. Another weird thing is that once it happens once, it doesn't happen again until after a reboot. It also only seems to happen to certain keys, most notably "caps lock", "a", and "e". Caps lock seems to be the most common, and just hard locks everything into caps (lowercase can only be typed when shift is held). It's rare for it to affect anything else, although I've seen it happen to the volume keys and some of the number keys too on occasions.

I'm kind of losing my mind trying to troubleshoot this, I don't really know where to start and Google isn't really helping me at all. Out of desperation I have tried completely wiping my install and reinstalled everything from scratch (running Arch Linux), but the issue persists.

Any ideas on what could be the issue???

I remember an article from months ago about Playtron and it said it was using a open source big picture like UI that can run in GameScope and it wasn't something they made it was something open source does anybody remember what that is called?

Hello all, I would like to play GS simulator game on Linux but I have problem with resolution or scaling. When I open the game, the resolution is really strange as if the image had been stretched a thousand kilometers horizontally. Only way I can play the game normally is to adjust the screen resolution to 1920x1080, then the game agrees to open correctly. I can't even set the resolution to 3440x1440 in the game settings. I have tested all proton versions no change. Is there something wrong with my Linux setup or the game? I have up to date EndeavourOS and 1080Ti GPU.

This may need to be in linux4noobs. I'm pretty fresh still, so my ability to troubleshoot doesn't go much past chatgpt.

Was running Manjaro, snowrunner was running well through steam/proton. Then it started hard crashing the system. Eventually the instability happened so often it was unplayable.

Figuring I was responsible somehow and curious about another distro, I loaded up cachyos. I'm getting the same crashes, but at least now it's only crashing out of steam.

This is all I can really tell you unfortunately, so I'm more curious if anyone has run into the same.

I haven't tried changing the proton version in the settings. Is this worthwhile?

Appreciate any help. I'd also would like to understand why. I need to learn the os, so I'm not living here and chatgpt just copying code. I'm about 3 months in from win11.

So I haven't used Linux as my main OS in ages, I use it for my laptop a lot though. Last time I used it I remember Nvidia drivers and stuff like that being really annoying to use and setup has that changed? I've been wanting to switch back now that Windows 10 is in its latter stages of life.

I'm planning on moving to linux, and I'm a little bit worried about how elden ring is going to run.

I have a nvidia gpu, rtx 3050 to be specific, and I've heard that nvidia gpus tend to lose a bit of perfomance on linux.

I've also heard that games usually run better on linux due to it being more efficient with its resources compared to windows that probably has a shit ton of things running in the background without your knowledge.

So, if anyone has experienced both, please let me know how the perfomance is (especially if you have a nvidia card)
Thank you!

I've been using Linux Mint (xfce) on a laptop for about a year and haven't had any problems playing games on Steam with USB controllers.

A couple of days ago I booted up a game I've played hundreds of times before and it started lagging. I put an FPS counter up and noticed it drops from 60 FPS to the 50s every time I press a button on a controller. It happens in ALL my Steam games, both Proton and native.

I thought it might be the controller itself so I tried various types (I have a bunch). Same thing happened with all of them. Playstation, Xbox, generic... I also tried different ports and both USB-A and USB-C. No difference.

It doesn't happen if I play with keyboard. I even tried a USB keyboard and that worked perfectly as well.

I've also messed with Steam options, even though nothing changed from when everything was working. I've tried disabling and enabling Steam Input. Doesn't change the problem. Only thing notable is that if I have the controller disabled but still plugged in, pressing the buttons wont change the FPS.

Looking for any help figuring this out.

The only thing out of the ordinary I can think of is that my internet had a stutter while my OS was updating.

I play fighting games, so I'm kinda desperate.

I have a separate ssd that i install all my games on. Would these windows installations still work with proton if i where to swap to linux or would i have to reinstall everything?

I’m on windows because of college and stuff, and I bought dead space (2023) when it was on sale. I was having an issue with the traversal stuttering, and I found out it was because of DX12. Now up to that point I saw a couple videos of people running it on Linux using Vulkan with barelyany issues. But no matter what I tried I couldn’t seem to get it up and running. So I thought WSL might be a good idea. I know nothing about Linux, but I heard about WSL a while back and I thought this might be a good idea. I want to know how I can set it up (the game) and whether if it’s a good idea or not.

So, my GPU is not supported by Open RGB (Aorus RX 5700 XT 8GB rev 1.0) and i was wondering if there is a way to control it's RGB lighting without dual boot/passthrough on VM?

I've been pleasantly surprised on how well poe2 runs on Arch.

On Windows I was getting constant freezes where my whole PC required an hard reboot but I've been having no issue on Arch.

Performance loss wasn't even that noticable, probably a couple of frames per seconds and should be noted that I'm using VKD3D since native Vulkan renderer does not work ATM but, when it's going to get patched, I expect even more performances.

Props to everyone who contributed to this effort!

Hey all, I'm trying to play a vulkan game on linux(Quake II RTX, runs perfect on windows, same system). and yes I know my titan xp doesn't support hardware ray tracing, software ray tracing works perfectly fine. another vulkan game that doesn't work is doom 2016(so i use open GL).

I'd also like to say that vulkan games work on my laptop (also mint, 22) which has an i7-10750H, and RTX 3060m. my nvidia driver on both systems is 550. I'm really hoping someone can shed some light on this discrepancy, and point towards a potential solution.

Last night, I noticed my steam was missing. It wasn't on my task bar and it's not in my menu along with any games I had installed through steam. I tried opening it from my files directly and it didn't work. I tried opening it through the terminal and it said install the package. I installed it again and I tried it again and it said the same thing. I tried through the software manager and I said it's installed. I tried removing it but it gave me an error message I'm on Linux mint and I don't think I caused this through anything. It just disappeared into thin air

I currently have Linux Mint installed on my Acer Swift laptop (Ryzen 5 7640u/Radeon 760m/16GB ram) however it feels slow and is outdated with packages. Would Cachy improve performance/battery life? Because it drains fast when playing games on Mint.
