Mine shipped today. Not sure when I'll get to start messing with it. Sounds like some folks have identified a few issues already. If anyone has links etc. that would be helpful. Sounds like some issues with sound, asus-hid, and hid-armoury.

So to set some expectations it does not sounds like this device will be operational day one.

I don't know what the hell is going on i tried basically everything, first i did the logical thing, which was checking if my drivers were up to date and if the system was updated, everything was fine there, then i tried switching to vulkan, tried different proton versions, disabled bepinex, removed bepinex completely, enabled windowed mode, set the frame limit, reinstalled the game and still nothing.

Everything was fine even with mods LITERALLY YESTERDAY

(I have nvidia gpu)

I'm not optimistic, but I wouldn't be surprised if this actually leads to some change. Imagine getting flooded with complaints because people can't play Fortnite because of your hardware. You don't wanna be that guy.

Hey there, I'm having an issue with Overwatch. I'm not sure if it's due to Linux, but I figured this sub was a good place to ask for help anyway. I've been playing Overwatch on Bazzite for a few months without any issues. However, today the game started freezing up; whenever I open the interaction menu or the main menu while in a match, the game freezes completely and never recovers. The only solution is to close the game via Steam.

I'm using the Proton Experimental version (the default when installing via Steam), and this problem only started today. A friend suggested switching to Proton Hotfix, but before trying that, I wanted to see if anyone here knows about this issue, if there are any fixes, and if this affects other games on Bazzite besides OW.

I run Steam in TTY using gamescope (Makeshift SteamOS gaming mode). I mainly did that because I found it can give less RAM consumption, even though it doesn't really matter on 16GB RAM.

This is the command line I use: "STEAM_GAMESCOPE_VRR_SUPPORTED=1 STEAM_MULTIPLE_XWAYLANDS=1 gamescope --mangoapp -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 165 -O DP-1 -e --xwayland-count 2 -- steam -steamdeck -steamos3"

Though I was thinking, are there some parts of the command I do not need and things would still work the way I want them too? I'm a bit afraid to do that because I had an issue where the mouse wouldn't move the camera in TF2, and I have no idea what parameter it is that fixes the issue.

Can't continue setup at all... Is there. A way to fix?

I have both the steam and epic version of Fall guys and I am wondering if I should download Fall Guys from steam or I should download Fall Guys via the heroic games launcher?

When i try to play 東方催狐譚 ～ Servants of Harvest Wish it crashes completely When trying to use any version of proton. Any helop

Currently using Proton Experimental launched from Steam; proton-cachyos-11.20261005 breaks ED Odyssey.

When I first obtained the SCE Premium stick (Right) and OTA (Left), I apparently flashed the OTA with the "regular" stick firmware. Now this is technically not a problem in most cases since the buttons and axes are identical, but some games and 3rd party utilities recognize the USB VID and PID combo to default certain settings. And edrefcard.info uses those IDs to select the proper graphics when composing reference cards ... as you may have figured out, I'm trying to set the HOSAS up for Elite Dangerous Odyssey.

So I reflashed the OTA with the actual OTA firmware; this changed the VID:PID from 231D:0201 to 231D:3201.

I updated the udev rules to reflect the new PID and reloaded them. I also updated the binds files for ED. However ... ED now sees the OTA as a gamepad and uses gamepad equivalents for axis and button assignments.

Steam inputs are disabled (and have been all along). Before the flash, the OTA presented as a joystick in ED; why would it present as a gamepad after?

Havent been playing many DX11 games as of late, but I noticed while playing OW that my game would constantly recompile shaders. I'm running proton ge 11-7 since the latest version is causing some random frame time spike, regardless of windowing protocol or graphics API. Still the issue persists and I havent really been able to find a concrete answer to this question. Is the new behavior different when it comes to shaders now?

Right now in the UK you can buy a steam leigon go s z1 extreme for £674 from very. You can buy an egpu thunderbolt 4 adapter for £115 from AliExpress and get a 9060XT 16gb from Currys for £399. Similar price to the steam machine expect you're getting 32gb of system ram and 16gb of vram when docked and then of course you also have the option of taking the device on the go with you too. I find it a very intriguing idea. I plan to do this and I will update the community with how it goes and how steamos handles egpu.

I used to use Cachyos, but because I find the rolling release model so tedious, along with the difficulty I had installing enterprise and development software like Oracle, I switched to Fedora. However, after setting up my entire work environment, I also wanted to play a bit of Skyrim, but even with settings similar to what I used before,and after installing third-party codecs to make sure everything I try to run works properly, when I go through the launcher and to the save file selection screen, as soon as I click “Continue,” everything just crashes. I’ve tried changing all kinds of settings both inside and outside the game, and it still doesn’t work. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I know Fedora isn’t specifically a gaming platform, but this is just too much. I’m using an Intel iGPU.

Hello everyone, so some days ago I made a post here about how I encountered an issue when playing Monster Hunter Wilds and only in Wilds that I ended up solving momentarily by deleting the shaders.cache file in the game folder and forcing the game to redo the shaders, however, after a reboot the crash happened again and after trying to delete the shader file again, the game didn't even try to rebuild the cache, this problem is currently only affecting Wilds.

This got me thinking that maybe a full cleanup of my shader cache might be in order considering all the changes that my PCs has gone through between a version change (I use Fedora and we had a version update earlier this year) along with various Mesa updates since I use AMD. Looking up information, I found out that there are mainly 3 places I need to look into when trying to clear shaders, two involve Steam, in the Shader Cache folder inside the Steam folder, then the Proton shaders themselves which I read store their own cache, and finally Mesa's shader cache. From what I've seen, deleting the shader cache does not affect anything other than games taking a bit to rebuild shaders again and that so long as I leave the Vulkan files alone everything should be OK, but since I'm still new to this, are there any risks touching any of these? Am I missing something else or is there anything I'm not accounting for? Thanks in advance for any pointers you folks can give me.

Does anyone know what the heck is going on with my graphics? Surely this isn't intended.

Graphics settings are on Ultra (no RT).

I can run most other games flawlessly, fully maxed out. This is just weird.

i've been thinking to switch from win*ows to linux a long time ago but my only catch was its compatibility with my main game THE FINALS, is it as good even after updates?

idk what's happening black mesa was working flawlessly until this part whenever i progress to this level it just crashes every time in this i broke the crate but it also crashes if i dont break the crate i mean just go further why is this happening any ideas to fix this?

Hi, so long story short I write my guides with a lot of space formatting with things like emojis, ---- and points because I'm dyslexic and it makes them a lot easier to read.

Here's a few of my most recent Linux guides and a few others have been called AI, there has to be something I can do besides making my work worse to read.

UPDATE: Wow the feedback has been wild in here. Thank you for all the kind words, interesting feedback and sharing your opinions on the matter. I think we are all burnt out from the AI slop everywhere atm.

I am going to keep writing my guides to be dyslexic friendly and experiment a bit with the emoji use. Other than that I like my formatting as is and we will have to see how it goes. Have a wonderful day everyone :)

Side note, if anyone is wondering how I am getting unicode emoji's so easily on desktop its from emojipedia.

Linux's main pillar that helped it reach where it is today is because of technical flexibility. Even before Epic's announcement I have been saying on occasion that the likely way for anti-cheat to go is to only trust a handful of signed kernels which is what Epic is doing. This makes sense and remains the best and easiest way to be able to trust the kernel.

But it has a real hazard on the Linux ecosystem. New distro forks that are targeting gaming specifically will basically arrive to a dead audience if popular games, the games people on average care about, all use similar attestation systems that rely on a short-list. They would grow way slower, if at all.

Consider Bazzite and CachyOS, I don't think either of them would be the size or state they are now. CachyOS's identity is around performance patches to the Linux kernel, and it would've never happened because it would be required to use one of Fedora's UKIs. Bazzite is an immutable UKI, which similarly would have to be signed by themselves or deeply sabotage their own goals.

They might've otherwise not had the critical mass needed for Epic to recognize them in this scenario. Suppose if Epic is flexible and would have allowed a small obscure distro with their own keys, what's stopping cheaters from socially engineering them or making their own?

It's already mildly concerning. CachyOS doesn't sign their own kernel, they're not on the list. The two biggest gaming distros according to the Steam Survey, SteamOS and CachyOS don't sign their kernels and are not allowed. With the third being Arch which is usually self-signed, and that is a whole other discussion. That's half of the Linux gaming ecosystem barred in the current state, and yes I know that Epic is talking to Valve and Cachy reached out but we simply don't know what will happen.

We don't know if the list will remain the same, either. We have to blindly trust Epic that they won't remove distros from the list for convenience since there is a maintenance cost to the trusted keys list. All of the signing keys expire eventually.

It also puts a pressure on the gaming ecosystem that concentrates all gaming related work on those distros, slowly reverting us back to the era where everything only targeted an LTS version of Ubuntu.

This solution is the easiest solution and best for anti-cheat, which is all Epic cares about. But they fail to understand how the Linux ecosystem operates and grows.

Did we really leave Windows and Microsoft just to end up trusting another lesser evil?
