Linux Gaming

I've been rocking the original Acer X34 since 2014 and feel like upgrading again. Specifically the AW3423DWF tickles my fancy, but I'm struggling to decide whether or not it is worth it on Mint without HDR support.

I've managed to install Autumn Aurora 2.1 on my Steam copy of SoC and have it running fine. Unfortunately, with my dual monitor set up, the cursor is not grabbed by the game and minimises every time I clicked outside of the game.

I'm looking to get a gaming pc. I mainly want to use it for emulation of PS3 and Xbox 360 and lower. Would also use for modern gaming some too. I would like to load Bazzite onto it so I can be on Linux and use a steamdeck like interface.

I used to watch gaming on mint, but it seems the channel hasn't uploaded in 1 year.

I hope this is the correct community for technical issues. If not, tell me where should I go the next time.

Is Linux and WoW like oil and water?

So with newer wayland+wine/proton improving HDR support, I figured... I would actually try. And, rather than needing to debug everything all in one go, I'd rather take a few incremental steps.

Hi all, I'm going crazy trying to fix persistent stuttering in 2D browser games on my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (Ryzen 7 5800H + RTX 3060). This happens across EVERY distro I've tried (Debian 12, Fedora 42, Mint Cinnamon, EndeavourOS, Nobara, PopOS) and EVERY browser (Firefox, Brave, Chromium).

Hi, I would like to ask if you have any experience with the PS5 controller with Steam on Linux. Steam crashes (segfault) everytime I connect the PS5 to my pc regardless bluetooth or usb :/

Vanilla Raft runs fine. From steam, I set it to run with compatibility layer Proton 9.0-4.

Does anyone else see this? Every time I wake up my Deck to continue playing no gamepad input is accepted by the game only keyboard and mouse.

MangoHUD suggests my GPU is thermal throttling, however this shows at extremely low temps if not always, I haven’t noticed any issues gaming and get really decent FPS, this my GPU spec - AMD Radeon XFX RX7900 GRE GPU.

Just wondering the best method here. Searching doesn't always get me the answer for every game, and I keep having this issue where I launch a game and it will load then stop without ever displaying anything (liminal core and assetto corsa are 2 examples). Running mint, all AMD. protonge, wine tricks, all of that needed stuff is installed. I run steam from terminal to try and see if I can figure out where it's crashing, but I'm not totally sure. Is there a better error dump I can access ? I've tried multiple proton versions, do I need to launch it with all 50 versions to find a working one?

Recently I dipped my toes in sim racing and I could run dirt 2.0 and AC fairly easily with a controller. A few weeks ago I bought a G920 and so far the only game that works with it proper is Dirt 2.0. AC and rF2 are a nightmare. AC shakes the wheel or doesn’t recognize it, rF2 just keeps steering on it’s own (even when the car is stationary, with autosteer off). I also tried RSF RBR, which runs, but after the first launch it doesn’t detect the wheel anymore.

The game is The Entropy Centre. Midnight Fight Express, which I have finished right before, doesn't seem to be affected.

Please don't say Bazzite as I wasn't able to get SteamVR working on it. I'm looking for alternatives. The current plan is to try plain old Ubuntu instead.
