So with the upcoming Steam Frame release, I'm thinking about the possibilities. Steam Frame will have a full desktop environment, like the Steam Deck. Any guesses on how hard or easy it might be to throw dolphin on it, and use the controllers as emulated Wii Controllers?

Does anyone know how to run the elden ring enemy and item randomizer mod on Linux? I've been searching for guides but struggling to find any that where useful or up to date. Have seen people mention they have made it work though.

I'm fairly new to Linux (I'm on Bazzite) so not sure how and where to even start attempting to figure it out myself.

So i run most if not all of my GOG and Itch Games via Lutris which i am quite happy with :D
But sadly i just get the "Stock" Executeable Icon instead of the Games Icon :(
Also yes due to the my Icon Theme Set it does look different but eitherway is that not the Correct Icon for the Game :(
Is there a better Way than downloading and changing the Icon for each Game manually? :(

As noted in the title, I am trying to figure out the safest way to update the firmware on my recently purchased Keychron K1 QMK V6 keyboard. I was finally able to get the web based Keychron Launcher app to talk to my KB after using chmod to give the correct HIDRAW device read-write access but it looks like the new firmware needs another utility to be installed and only the Windoze directions are provided.

From my own online research it looks like there is a terminal-based method but it wasn't really explained. I am not super concerned about updating the firmware since the preloaded version works well enough for my needs but I am still wondering if anyone knew of a tutorial on how to do this without bricking my shiny new keyboard.

I am using Fedora 43 Workstation if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance for any tips or advice!

This update, among other things, adds support for VK_EXT_descriptor_heap, which should bring significant performance boost to Nvidia cards, once it's properly implemented.

One big issue with Linux / SteamOS gaming is a lack of anti-cheat support, and it seems Electronic Arts (EA) have future plans for supporting the platform.

Currently, EA's own Javelin Anticheat does not support Linux platforms at all. As a result games like Battlefield, EA SPORTS FC and various others simply don't work. That may change in future though, especially with the rise of SteamOS / Steam Deck and the future Steam Machine.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a cheap, old laptop to put Linux on and mess around with. I mainly want to see if I can find replacement software for some of the stuff I do on my Windows desktop, but maybe also some light gaming with Steam and Heroic launcher. I'd like to get some opinions on what brands/models I should be looking for on Craiglist/Ebay/etc.? Thanks!

I have a problem when installing games from other places than steam. First time I had it was when I wanted to play diablo 4 through the battlenet launcher (I do not own it on steam) so I installed battlenet through steam and then launched the launcher. Installed, played the game, no problem but the next time I booted the battlenet launcher Diablo 4 was gone. I did try it again and reinstalled and for some reason it just worked forever (untill I uninstalled it myself).

Now... I have another game with it's own launcher that installs the game and keeps it updated and this happends over and over again. Since the downloading takes a lot of time I can't even launch the game as it disconnects me. Every time I download the 54GB of data it just deletes it after I quit the launcher. I have tried Heroic, Steam and Lutris. Same thing every time. How can I tell linux to fuck off and let my game files be?

I am running Bazzite if that matters and I always install on my home directory.

Every night, I put my computer to sleep. But should I be shutting it down every now and then? For example, maybe once a week or once a month?

Just curious to see this question answered from a Linux gamers' perspective.

The 2 CPUs that stand out the most are the AMD Custom APU 0405/0932, these are used by the Steam deck and show how much these are used for gaming on Linux.

It's also interesting to see people are still playing with Intel Core Duo's but also the large prevalence of AMD Ryzen series processors.

Mysterious components from realms beyond have appeared on the RetroDECK Blog.

Only a week after the previous 0.5.20 release, Lutris, a free and open-source gaming platform for Linux, has released version 0.5.21. One of the most notable additions is support for Valve’s Sniper runtime, allowing runners to execute inside the Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 container.

Lutris 0.5.21 also expands emulator support with new runners for ShadPS4 and Xenia. In addition, the Dolphin emulator runner now uses an AppImage build, resolving previous dependency issues with libavformat and simplifying deployment across distributions.

Hey guys!

For years now, I'm thinking about buying a VR-Headset for gaming. Since I entirely switched my devices to Linux (Debian), I have to consider, if that's even an acceptable experience so far.

My questions:

• Is VR in an acceptable state for Linux?
• Which VR-Headset could give the best experience so far?
• Are we already at the point, where VR-Headset-companies deliver decent Linux software? Maybe open-source?

Please update me! I've been living under a rock for too long.

I hate when you spend weeks getting games to work and then an update happens and everything is now broken. My copies of Simcity REFUSE to launch in any way and now i can't reinstall them either. All my other games i had to change the runner and redirect the .exe on each game. I may just install 0.5.19 and see if i can get them to start working again.

Apparently plenty of people had their game libraries ruined by this update as well and i lost all my hours of Simcity, so that sucks. Anyone else having issues with the update version of lutris?

I am kind of new to Linux. I started with nobara and got comfortable with the overall feel of Linux. Then a few weeks ago I switched over to cashyos, to try something new.

But what I wonder all the time: How often should I update my system? With Windows there were some updates happening in the background about every week and it was not necessary nor possible to manage them in detail.

But now on Linux I get update notification sometimes twice a day. I am also aware, that cashyos is doing roling updates. As I understand it, this means they are pushing them without much delay for testing. Is this a reason to wait a little before applying new updates so bugs can be fixed? But when I wait, arent there always new updates coming in? Also those Bugfixes would also be updates that I would then delay.

How are you handling it? And how are your experiences?

I made the mistake of believing some dumb guide online that recommended the Razer BlackShark v2 Pro for Linux. Literally the volume control is broken out of the box lol.

I just want a wireless headset. For listening to audio. And a mic. Don't care for fancy features. Apparently too much to ask for a linux user.

What are y'all using and how is it working for you?
