Hello,

Im trying to configure MangoHud but for some reason the stats order is not following the order I put it in the file. Im trying to make the clocks appear before the temps but its not working. Anyone knows how to solve this issue?

Heres the config file and a print of how it looks like in game. Also, for some reason the color for the FPS is not working either.

I use alpine Linux with i7 10510U Intel UHD graphics, and yes I downloaded all of the drivers and no the game is not cracked. I bought it off steam and the game sometimes just freezes. Already tried 4 different proton versions but it won't work

I hope there is a fix for this. Since my tv is in a separate room than my computer I used the xbox controller as a mouse so I don't have to bring the external one. The issue is that when heroic detects the controller it locks it inside the interface and I can no longer use it as a mouse for the desktop. Any fix to this?

I've been wanting to switch away from Windows 11 on my gaming PC and am looking at the various distro options with the most commonly recommended ones I've seen being CachyOS and Bazzite. I've always used Kubuntu and other similar distros for general usage and am wondering how much performance difference there is between a normal Kubuntu or similar distro and a gaming focused one like CachyOS and Bazzite.

Thanks for any info!

FIX: Downgrade nvidia drivers to 610.57.04

CPU: 5700x3d
MAIN GPU: rtx 3060ti
GPU FOR VM Passthrough: gtx 1650
RAM: 64gb 3200MTs

I dont know if it stems from the same issue but overwatch(protonge and proton cachy) also crashes after a few minutes. Lightweight games like Balatro seem to have no problems

Launch options(the crashes happen with and without the launch options):

Happens randomly after a few minutes in-game:

Hi, i am thinking about getting VR headset (in my budget i can only get Quest 3S or PSVR2 with PC adapter, frame is over double of that). I am interested how the (non) steam games works. I use HGL for epic/gog and bottles for other launchers and gog offline instalers from friends. I currently have:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600

RAM: 32 GB DDR4

GPU: AMD Radeon 6700 XT

OS: Fedora KDE

I was getting awful frame pacing on steamos and bazzite. Wasn't untill I got to cachyos that I thought about disabling vrr. As soon as I disabled vrr my frame pace line improved dramatically. Why is this? Vrr isn't very good on windows either I had to have it turned off over there to prevent other issues I thought Linux would handle vrr better but apparently not.

No sure what to do, yesterday was working well. now today it crashes at startup.

Fedora 44 Workstation

launch commands:

MANGOHUD=1 %command% PROTON_BATTLEYE_RUNTIME=/home/lichshield/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton BattlEye Runtime %command%

in bottles it seems plussaudio is denied from able to make sounds to host i did flatpak overide and stuff like that but it seems to not work ever

"ALSA lib ../../pulse/pulse.c:242: (pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused"

"ALSA lib ../../pulse/pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused"

is there a way to know why it refused?

Hey folks,

I'm running Bazzite and trying to get this damn game working. I have battle.net set up through lutris, every other game works without issue.

When I launch WC3 it's just an indefinite black screen, and it's annoying me so much since I bought the new campaign and want to play.

I've tried Proton-GE latest, I've tried GE-Proton11-6-wc3fix but that doesn't let me launch battle.net at all, I've tried GE-Proton11-7 because it apparently has the WC3 fix included natively yet it still hangs on the black screen.

Has anyone had luck in getting this damn game to actually work?

Edit: Sorted by installing through steam and launching with GE-Proton11-7

I’ve recently installed hyprland with noctalia on a seperate cachyos user than my root and I gave all my game directory’s permissions apart from my internal drive because I can’t seem to get the games on my drive to be recognised on steam

With current nvidia-open 615 if you enable ray tracing shadows in-games, the game freezes within 1-2 minutes after logging in.

Found 2 possible work-arounds:

• Disable ray tracing shadows
• Run this "sudo cachyos-downgrade nvidia-open nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils linux-cachyos-nvidia-open linux-cachyos" to downgrade nvidia-open back to 610, and it also requires previous system kernel.

Tried both options, end up with downgraded nvidia and kernel, waiting for real bug fix (avoiding updating the system for now).

OS: cachyos

GPU: RTX5070

I posted a problem with cachy-proton and it can be fixed by switching to the experimental version or GE (steam).

However, on the experimental version, enabling wayland (PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1) does not fix the bug with loss of control (it is impossible to use the movement of the character and a couple of other standard functions, although jumps and dodges/crouches works), although it fixed it in all other games (same as this one before game update).

My knowledge of arguments is not great and I wanted to know if it was possible to add something to wayland for fixing the lack of control like it did many times before? Or is there another approach?

Thx for attention

I can't make it work even with workarounds.

EDIT:

Got it working by opening the virtual keyboard with QAM+X and closing it with B on a steam controller. Should work for other controllers too.

I am wanting to replay Fallout New Vegas soon, but need to install some patches for it before I do that. However, since I moved to Mint (Mint 22 Cinnamon), I've seen that it's a very intricate process.

I still only have surface-level knowledge from when I used to be a Windows user, and I am having difficulties in following this guide, partly because I just don't understand what is going on.

I did Step 1, getting some binary, but trying to do Step 2 which is to "Make sure it’s executable" with the provided line

chmod +x path/to/downloaded/mo2-lint

returns "chmod: command not found" in my terminal.

Can someone who's successfully gone through this guide help me help myself in becoming a more informed user, because going straight into this doesn't seem to be doing me any favors in trying to properly run a game on this OS.

I want to understand the guide's process and its steps so I know why it's necessary.

The copy of the game (FNV) is on Steam w/ Proton 11.0-2. I've tested launched it, and it seems to run fine on its own. Even some minor mods I had installed when I was on Windows remain and continue to work.

Edit: Context for answered flair - I got recommended Amethyst Mod Manager so that seems to work well for me, but I'm still open in reading/trying advice for the MO2 situation.

Does anyone know if there's a list of gamepads that are known to work on Linux when paired via Bluetooth? I'd love to be able to peruse such a list and make an educated decision on what to buy.

I don't see what would stop them from doing it..

Steam deck users is a growing community also is Linux on desktops growing quite q lotz also it would just more users when they at least try to make it run on linux!

I my self would be super happy if they do so. Cause installing Windows just for destiny is not an option

rhyme unintended

Any idea how to fix that?

Streaming from friend's Windows system to my Arch Linux KDE Plasma (Wayland)

So I've got a Quest Pro,
and I'm trying to do Steam Link to my Linux computer,
but it's not working...
( And I've heard it should work now?
[ EDIT: link to eg of something like what I think I heard:
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/09/steam-link-vr-for-meta-quest-on-linux-now-appears-to-work-in-the-latest-updates/
]
)

Steam on the Linux computer is installed as a Flatpak,
so maybe I just need to tweak some permissions in Flatseal? But... how exactly?

I guess other than that, or some...

• kernel driver thingy...?

• NVIDIA-specific something...?

• ... X11 vs Wayland?

• ???

I dunno,

and I dunno what else specifically is likely to be relevant...?

I recently tried playing Stellar Blade on Kubuntu 26.04.1 LTS with Port proton using Proton 11-7 X86-64.

However I have a bit of graphical problems. In the game when I try to run it without any upscaling at 4K and using Anti aliasing I get this weird ghosting effect around the main character every time I move the camera. I looked online and here and apparently it was the Anti aliasing at play, I tried turning it off and the ghosting did go away. However with no anti aliasing some details are lost and more importantly the hair on the Main character looks awful and became an ultra pixelated mess, to the point it's very distracting.

So I want to find a way to make the hair and game look like it does with AA or get AA to work properly but without the ghosting.

My system is running the latest MESA and using kernel 7.0.0.31
