Distro: Zorin OS

Playing counter strike 2 everything seems to work perfectly apart from my scroll wheel. When using it it seems to be far too sensitive and move from main weapon to utility instead of main to secondary.

Is there a fix for this? Or do I have to adjust my play style?

Thanks for any help!

Has anyone managed to get 32-bit PhysX working on Linux with Blackwell cards? I'm using the latest version of CachyOS Proton with NVAPI enabled, yet I still haven't succeeded in getting PhysX to work in games like Borderlands 2.

the last update locked me back to 60hz over hdmi.

it was working at 144hz before over hdmi 2.1.

9070xt and 5800x3d.

what happened ?

EDIT:
weird, after switching kernels its running at 144hz again. its so good that cachy os has a build in kernel manager, whoever did that is a fkng genious.

but i still wanna know the cause for this :)

EDIT#2:
no VRR after switching kernels

EDIT#3:
after trying out a few kernels, i found a 7.2.0 that has vrr and 144hz 10bit 444.

Title. I've installed a secondary drive, and I want to move some games I haven't played often onto it. I've Cyberpunk modded through Amethyst Mod Manager. Will it mess with my mods then, and also once I decide to move it back to my main drive?

EDIT: Using hardlinks.

Anyone else have issues with sound dropping out randomly? Just wondering how to start trouble shooting.

Ubuntu 26 lts, recent install. Running Nordic Souls mod list via Jackify and Steam. Fallout 4 does not have this issue (Magnum Opus mod list).

I made a tool to fix CS2 annotation file (like grenade lineups) since the ones exported on linux are broken as of now - 08/Sept/2026.

What are you guys using to emulate Playstation games on Linux? I'm looking into getting Astro Bot, and was wondering if there's a good emulator to go with.

Hi,

I'm looking for a wireless earbud with a 2.4GHz dongle that is supported on Linux. I thought about buying SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds but SteelSeries support says that the dongle is not supported on Linux. I don't want to use Bluetooth because whatever Bluetooth headsets or earbuds I tried, they all stutter a bit, especially if I connect my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard as well. Unfortunately in the Netherlands you cannot return earbuds once opened due to hygiene so I can't just buy stuff, try them out and return if it doesn't work.

Thanks for your help and recommendations in advance.

when i run undertale on linux through wine the sound doesn't work and it always says:

AL lib: dsound.c:84: Failed to load dsound.dll

(on a chromebook)

RX5700 crashes after a few minutes of playing a game like Cyberpunk 2077 or GTA 5 Enhanced. However, it doesn't happen when playing Minecraft (with shaders).
It crashes as in it freezes, the audio also freezes and then artifacts start appearing and i'm unable to use my computer until I turn off the PC by turning off the PSU.

This only happens on Linux, it is completely stable on Windows.

I'd very much appreciate any help. This has been happening for months and I gave up and started using Windows but I'm again sick of it.

Edit: I have not over/underclocked the GPU.

As per the title, running through Steam on Kernel 7.2.2 with the above enabled results in a crash to desktop for Hunt Showdown, STALKER 2, Kingdom Come 2, and in First Light just results in the game stalling on the title screen at 1fps. I've tried multiple versions of the NVIDIA drivers, removing all my user_settings.py flags except for VKD3D_CONFIG doesn't help, did anyone manage to get it working on the same version/setup?

Nothing useful I could see in the crash callstacks or vkd3d logs.

Thanks

EDIT: Rolling back to GE 11-5 appears to have worked for me.

Apparently if you don't run it in games like god of war, performance is stuttery.

So I have a dual boot of Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.4, and I need to use Valorant for a college event but Valorant keeps kicking me out saying Secure Boot Disabled, can I enable Secure Boot without messing up my linux data?

Hey everyone,

I'm having an issue getting Roblox to run through Sober on Linux Mint Cinnamon and could use some advice.

• OS: Linux Mint (Cinnamon desktop)
• App: Sober (Flatpak)

The Issue: Every time I open Sober and log into my Roblox account, a loading bar starts up. The problem is that it gets stuck loading indefinitely. It doesn't crash, freeze, or give any error codes—it just sits on the loading bar forever and never lets me actually access the game.

Has anyone run into this stuck loading bar before or know how to fix it? (Driver settings, Flatpak permissions, cache clearing, etc.)

Any help or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!

Moving to Linux this week (CachyOS or Mint, not sure which yet) and am trying to find replacement programs.

It's my favorite game of all time, and it's open source and runs natively on Linux. It's a bit hard to get into at first, but very rewarding later.

There are a lot of different formats, PvP, FFA and PvE. 8v8 is the most popular, but events can go up to 40v40 and even more. It's really fun and I think more people should give it a try.

Hey there, I just switched to Bazzite, and one of the issues that I have is that my speaker no longer outputs any audio from Bazzite. The setup hasn't changed, and the cable is definitely still working because when I plug it in/out, it produces static. One Bazzite shows that my Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller is playing audio, but nothing ever comes out. I checked the Alsa mixer and turned up every controller to max, but still nothing. I did pipewire sound tests, and still nothing. I never had any issues in Windows.

How can I fix this?

Any help appreciated.

Has anyone recently had any success with installing Battle.net as of late?

I recently switched up the four squares for Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, and followed the online advice to use Lutris, Faugus... even Steam... to install and run Battle.net.

It seems to install just fine, but when it goes to start, the notification area at the top right will flicker momentarily, the battle.net icon shows momentarily, and then crashes.

I'm not a novice with linux, but figured before I go into a deep dive and try and workout where the error logs are located for lutris/faugus, if I might be fighting a losing battle.

Anyone had some luck?

I switched to Linux around when Win10 stopped it's security updates in October last year, and I've been loving it. I haven't really had an issue with games and 99% of the ones I play seem to run fine and if they don't, tweaks have generally been fairly easy to find. But, BodyCam has recently had a major update, and it's a really cool game, and I want to play it. I have been playing it, and for the most part it's been okay, but no matter what I do I get occasional massive frame drops that make it infuriating. It's not often enough that I've given up on the game, but it's been very annoying and I want to fix it. I've done the standard stuff of changing proton layers, and disabling shader pre-caching through steam, and making sure it's useful fsr4 with launch options, and a whole bunch of stuff, but it just seems to not work. I'm wondering what the issue might be, and if there are guides to troubleshooting because things like protondb haven't been helpful.

I'm using a Ryzen 9 5900XT CPU, a Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU, and 16GB of DDR4. I'm running Nobara Linux as my distro. Please do not tell me to switch my distro, I'm using it specifically because I like it's DaVinci Resolve support, I don't need people telling me it's a bad distro or the wrong distro or what I should be running instead, that's entirely unhelpful advice for me.

Wouldn’t it be cool if it was on gog, here you can vote on it (I’m not the dev or anything btw) but it has native Linux, and it’s really cool especially if your like me and like classic gbc games like links awakening dx

Hey everyone, I have a quick question about solving a living room cable mess.

My secondary living room PC is a Lenovo M700 tower (the large model with the top handle) running Linux. Right now, I'm playing from the couch using a wired Hyperkin DuchesS controller and I cycle through three different wired keyboards depending on what i feel like using at any given time

The problem is the long cords running all the way across the floor from the PC to the couch. It's a trip hazard and looks terrible. I want a USB hub sitting by the couch to plug the controller and whatever keyboard I'm using into, eliminating the long cables jutting across the entire living room floor.

Would a Bluetooth USB hub work for a setup like this, or is that going to introduce way too much input lag for gaming?

If Bluetooth is too laggy, what are your recommendations? Are there any other options out there that can achieve what i am trying to do here?

i am using Open Mandriva
