I tried to install heroic games launcher from the AUR, but when i tried to start it up, it segfaults just after start up.

evfwd is a new tool for forwarding evdev input events from one Linux host to another, typically through an ssh connection.

The reason I am posting this here is that my initial motivation for creating the tool was gaming related: I wanted to be able to use my laptop's keyboard and gamepad on my Steam Deck.

The tool works by serializing /dev/input/... events on one hosts and then injecting them via /dev/uinput on another. You have to arrange the pipe between the two ends, typically using ssh:

evfwd /dev/input/somedevice | ssh somehost evfwd -s See the readme for more details.

I've been having a couple of troubles playing Diablo IV, though they seem to be a lot worse with the new expansion. After a while of playing for a while, the game seems to leak VRAM and makes my desktop pretty unstable. Alt+tabbing occasionally breaks the game, the image freezes but I still hear the noises of the menus opening and such. If I don't alt-tab the game doesn't break.

I have found this reddit thread about setting a dxvk file to limit the amount of VRAM available to Diablo. I set up the max VRAM to 8gib but mangohud still reports 10gb being used. I tried setting the DXVK_CONFIG_FILE flag but that also doesn't seem to work. Mangohud report 10gb VRAM very fast. DXVK file contents:

dxgi.maxDeviceMemory=8192 dxgi.maxSharedMemory=8192

Decreasing the graphic settings just slows down the problem, it doesn't prevent it.

Launch options: DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/gamedrive/dxvk.conf mangohud %command%

Does anyone know how to set a custom mouse acceleration curve on Sway? man sway-input does mention mouse acceleration but unfortunately it's one of those "you won't learn anything new unless you already knew it before" type of manpage.

I also found this project https://github.com/N-R-K/leetmouse which I will probably use in the end but I would also like to hear if anyone of you has any experience with custom acceleration profile, in case there is a better way or whatever.

Edit: I will use leetmouse (different branch tho), because libinput's acceleration is not very good for gaming (see comments for sources)

Hi so i have been thinking to my self which type of distros gives fps boost is it gonna be gaming or the lightweight low resource usage I cannot find anything its just all revive your old pc and its seperate Pc specs: mid-high end anything that is classified as "gaming"

for example garauda/ cachy(ik this isnt a gaming distro but alr) vs smth like antix or mxlinux

thanks for any answers,

Sister Reddit post

Preamble

About a month ago, Sony decided to forgo their still-functional Firmware Updater Tool (you get a "can't connect to the server" message and it doesn't let you download the firmware) and replace it with the PlayStation Accessories app.

This new app does not run on wine at all from what I can see, so I decided to try and get the previous tool (I'll call it FWUpdater) working again.

PlayStation Accessories, on launch, connects to playstation's server (https://fwupdater.dl.playstation.net/fwupdater/info.json) and checks if it's version is up-to-date, then checks if there is a new firmware for the controllers. As it seems, FWUpdater uses the same URL to check its version as well. As these are completely different programs, and the server reports the latest version for PlayStation Accessories only, FWUpdater gets confused and just displays "can't connect to the server" (correct me if I'm wrong).

After some experimentation, I figured out I could just spoof the version reported from the server (with mitmproxy) and get FWUpdater to fetch the necessary firmware.

Prerequisites (Ensure everything is up-to-date)

• Python
• Wine
• Browser
• Terminal-feet

Process

Step 1: mitmproxy

a. Install mitmproxy from your package manager (or grab the latest binaries from mitmproxy.org and open a terminal in the mitmproxy folder.)

b. Run mitmweb, this should launch a web UI in your browser:

!

c. Select File in the upper left corner and then Install certificates. This will open up another page:

!

d. Setup your browser (in the browser setting) to connect to mitmproxy:

!

e. Reload the previous page and you should see the certificates for various platforms:

!

f. Download the Linux certificate and install them to your system trust store, following the instructions on the above page for your specific distro (for Arch Linux, you move the certificate into /etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors/).

g. Revert the proxy settings in your browser.

Step 2: FWUpdater

a. Download the FWUpdater and extract it.

b. Create a new empty file, paste this in and save it as a python script (.py).

from mitmproxy import ctx from mitmproxy import http import json

def response(flow: http.HTTPFlow) -> None: if flow.request.pretty_url.endswith("/fwupdater/info.json"): data = json.loads(flow.response.get_text()) data["ApplicationLatestVersion"] = "1.5.0.2" flow.response.text = json.dumps(data)

b. Start mitmproxy in a terminal with the script:

mitmproxy -s "path/to/the/above/script.py"

c. Start FWUpdater with the following command:

HTTP_PROXY="http://localhost:8080/" wine "path/to/FWUpdater.exe"

d. Profit.

Troubleshooting

1. "FWUpdater doesn't detect controller"

a. Run wine control joy.cpl, change any one of these settings (unchecking "Disable hidraw" should fix it in most cases), and run FWUpdater again:

!

Hope this helps (And I hope I didn't miss anything lmao)

For context:

I've been using Linux since 2000. Started with Mandrake Linux (Helios?), then I moved to Ubuntu in 2004 and alternated between Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu MATE for a time until I settled with Kubuntu for the last few years.

Ubuntu has been rock solid for me for the past 20 years and I'm used to the APT package management and Ubuntu/Debian environment overall with all the various services and configs, setups and release cycles, etc. The stability allows me to enjoy my spare time playing games and doing other important tasks instead of troubleshooting my system and figuring out how to make something work. Ubuntu has been awesome in that regard.

I've also been dual-booting this whole time with Windows. Gaming on Linux simply wasn't up to snuff up until very recently with Steam working on Wine and Proton for the Steam Deck and Bottles, which makes running Windows games on Linux almost comparable to Windows.

Windows 10 was a great OS, except for a few flaws and privacy issues with the introduction of mandatory Microsoft accounts and One Drive integration. But you could work around those things. It was supposed to be the last Windows we would have to install with perpetual rolling releases, but apparently they changed their minds about that. Windows 11 was released and reading about it gives me nightmares. Using it for work also has been an incredibly buggy and frustrating experience. The invasion of privacy, data collection, screen monitoring and AI integration plus the additional advertisement are all reasons for which I will never install this OS on my personal computer. And some of these features have started to leak into Windows 10.

So I've made up my mind. I'm wiping Windows from my PC and will be running Linux only. I believe it's become good enough to use as a daily driver for a home gaming desktop and for productivity. But... Which distribution should I choose?

The dilemma:

There's been a whole slew of new Linux distributions that have come out lately. Some have been early in the Linux gaming aspect such as POP! OS. Others have tried to become a solid replacement for the default immutable Steam OS such as Bazzite. And there are now some pretty awesome sounding gaming-focused distros such as Nobara. And that's on top of the various existing Ubuntu flavors, Fedora's spins, OpenSuse and the many Arch variants that almost seem to pop up monthly.

I've been shopping around for a distribution to become my daily driver from now until who knows when. I'm expecting to stick to that distro as long as possible. Here's some of the things that I am looking for:

• Not immutable : I find this to be adapted for devices like tablets, IoT devices and handhelds instead of an actual PC. I'll need to be able to change my system configs as I please and an Immutable distro seems like a pain in the butt to deal with that.
• Rock solid : This is the most important aspect and is why a lot of the Arch or other bleeding edge distros won't do. (With some exceptions)
• Hardware support : The second most important aspect. I think that's pretty much covered by most popular distros, but some have better support than others. Especially for ease of getting the right drivers. (Especially for NVidia GPUs, or gaming controllers and devices.)
• Performance : Most popular distros offer ok performance, but some have been enhanced to provide improved performance according to the hardware. This is a very big nice to have, especially for gaming.
• Desktop choice : I'm really not a big fan of Gnome 3. It seems nobody really is. Many Gnome based distros come with quality of life extensions out of the box to fix that. Not a big fan of GTK apps' UI ergonomics either. That's why I prefer KDE over Gnome or Cinnamon. Budgie seems like a great alternative as well. Also having a PowerToys-style FancyZones tiling system is a big big plus (KDE has that OOTB)
• Applications : The thing I love about Ubuntu is the amount of available applications in their repos. I'm hoping to have the same availability in my next distribution.
• Online community/support : Having a great online support community is very important. The more users, the larger the knowledge base and the easier you can find answers to questions to troubleshoot problems.
• Online services integration : Optional but a very nice to have would be to have integration with Google apps like GMail, Calendar, Keep and Google Drive to name a few.
• Customization : As funny as this sounds, I want to use the desktop in its most vanilla form as possible with as few customisations as possible. Over time I found that having extra customisations like extensions, applets, etc tends to break things because of lack of support over time. It's also more difficult to troubleshoot when very few people are using them.

The distributions that ended up meeting my requirements are the following in order of preferences :

• Kubuntu : So far its been working great for gaming but I think there could be some performance improvements. It's my first choice because I'm just so comfortable with it already. Zero effort, but with some compromises in performance.
• Nobara with KDE Plasma : This looks solid and ticks all the requirements. I think there's some amount of learning to do for using YUM/RPM packages and to understand some of the customisations, but I think this effort will be minimal. I am concerned about long term support however since this is a fairly new distro supported by individuals.
• Ubuntu Budgie : I really like this DE, very simple but elegant. But, like Kubuntu, I don't know how it's going to fare performance wise. And I don't know what kind of tools there are to configure gaming controllers, etc.
• Ubuntu (I'm willing to deal with Gnome 3 for simplicity's sake)
• Fedora KDE Plasma spin : Everybody is raving about Fedora so maybe I'll give it a shot as an Ubuntu replacement.
• Manjaro Endeavour OS with KDE desktop :Possibly the only Arch distro I'm willing to install because they focus on stability, however learning about the packaging system and configs/environment feels like a drag. But with the great community and documentation I'm willing to make an effort for this one.

What are your thoughts on this? What are your recommendations based on my requirements?

EDIT:

Thank you very much for everyone's input. I've spent a good part of the day installing distros in a VM to check out some of your suggestions and reading more about my choices.

I can't believe I am saying this, but I am reevaluating my choice of using Kubuntu. After some reading I have found out that Ubuntu and it's flavors will not be supporting flatpaks starting in 23.04. And there are several known problems with snap, such as serious performance issues. A task that would take 1-5s as a regular .deb installed app, would take up to 10 times that time to complete. Canonical is also working to modify apt to use snaps instead of installed .deb packages. They are aggressively pushing snaps to a point where they'll want to replace the majority of the software with snaps eventually.

Yeah there's security features built-in and all, which flatpaks don't necessarily have. And the security is tighter around Canonical's snap repos compared to flathub for example. But I don't know if I'm ready to move to that new way of doing things. And Canonical is going against what the community wants.

I don't know. I think I'm more confused now that I was when I started...

> There's a lot of blog posts and news articles being written right now centred around Microsoft's plans for updates to Windows 11, and potential kernel changes, with some thinking this means big things for Linux gaming.

quite relevant to yesterday's discussion.

After listening to this comment in my earlier post, I finally installed Linux in my new machine. I have almost set up everything for my use case save for support for playing Minecraft.

While many Linux switchers are keen to having maximum support and optimization for games, I don't look forward to the same. I plan to having Minecraft as my one and only game in this machine and want to have as minimal dependencies set up for playing it as possible.

I intend to use the fabric version of MC with mod support on my machine with Iris Xe GPU. I am also comfortable with using a different launcher aside from the default one if it is safe and better to do so.

Could someone give me guidance on how I go around installing Minecraft according to my needs?

I mean games you played / you are going to play.

My list looks like this for example:

• Summer: DAVE THE DIVER
• Autumn: Against the Storm
• Winter: Frostpunk 2
• Spring: Terra Nil

What are yours?

Solution

This is a bug in KDE Plasma [1.1][2]. It appears that it might be fixed in KDE Plasma v6.2 [1.2][3].

Original Post

I have noticed this behavior with Element and Signal while playing Deadlock. The game will have a pretty severe stutter, ie the frame-rate will substantially dip, for half a second or so at the exact moment that a message is received. It seems to happen with every message. Do note that these are only messages that would result in a system notification. All other messages that are silent, ie they have no pop-up notification, do not result in any stutter.

• OS: Arch Linux, Kernel: v6.6.49-1-lts
• DE: KDE Plasma v6.1.4
• WM: Wayland
• CPU: Intel Core i5-4690k
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600

Updates

• I have tried disabling this setting in Deadlock: !
• I have tried windowed-borderless
• I have noticed that the moment that the stutter occurs, my CPU spikes maybe 20% and my GPU drops to 0%.

I'm trying to play dark souls 2 with the graphics overhaul mod in hdr. I'm passing 1440p to gamescope with the -W, -H, -w, -h options and limiting framerate to 60 with -r and -o.

The game just refuses to display at anything other than 720p. I can change the in-game resolution setting to 1440p but the resolution just doesn't change. I tried setting a lower resolution (480p iirc) as well, but it still looked the same. Also tried enabling fullscreen but that setting doesn't save nor does it do anything.

I'm inferring that it's 720p because the in-game cursor moves half the distance of the actual cursor with gamescope set to 1440p, but they're in sync if I set it to 720p. To the eye it just looks blurry. The mod menu opens at the size it opens without gamescope but is also similarly blurred. Couldn't interact with it to confirm the resolution due to the aforementioned mouse issue

Outside of gamescope fullscreen works fine and the resolution setting works too iirc (but they reset after reopening the game). Kde plasma. Tried disabling secondary screen, setting scaling to 100 and limiting desktop fps to 60, didn't help

Could this be some kind of steam deck detection? Any ideas?

Gaming On Linux has a write-up too.

I spent 3 days trying to get FOLON to work following both the official website guide and every post I could find on the internet, and I finally said fuck it and played around with it myself and figured out how to get it running.

I'm posting here in case anyone else has had the same problems I did and don't have a solution. The first half is pretty much identical to their instructions

This does not use the FOLON Downgrader, Because I dont like the idea of signing into my steam account through someone elses program.

Also don't be in a steam beta. Use release steam

• Run steam in console mode as per instructions here. On Linux just close steam and run "steam -console" in terminal
• Download all the depot packs like they instruct.
• Create a folder elsewhere and go to where the files downloaded and empty each folder into the created folder so you have a full build of the last version of Fallout 4 (Do not alter this directory further, unless you want to have to go through all that pita downloading again, so only copy files from here, do not move them from here)
• Go find appmanifest_377160.acf in /steam/steamapps and make it read only
• Go to your /steam/steamapps/common/Fallout4 folder and delete everything it, and copy the Fallout 4 you just downloaded into the folder.
• Launch fallout once, i dont know how far you have to go, i typically go to character creation, to make sure the game creates all the necessary files
• Go to GOG and download the Fallout London files. should be 10 files, one being an .exe and the rest being bin files
• This is where we diverge. Run protontricks, If you don't have it installed, then read install instructions here and select Fallout 4
• Ignore any missing file arch 65 errors, keep clicking okay until the "What do you want to do" window pops up
• Click install application, Ok
• In this next window, click cancel
• In this window, select Run an Arbitrary Executable (.exe/.msi/.msu) and click okay.
• In the file explorer that pops up, navigate to your FOLON installer (at the time of this posts edit it is setup_fallout_london_2.31_revision2_(64bit)_(75054) setup_fallout_london_v1.01_iv2.31r3_(64bit)_(75422).exe) and run it
• Select your desktop as the destination (Don't select your Fallout 4 folder, It'll just install FOLON into a Fallen London subfolder)
• one the install is done and over, select every file in that folder and copy (don't move, copy, You want to save this folder as well in case something screws up so you don't have to through the install steps again) the Data and src folders (this is just f4se source code folder, but it'd go in /Fallout if you installed f4se manually anyway) and all loose files beneath it to your fallout 4 folder, and tell your file manager to merge folders and overwrite files.
• Move the files in _Appdata to ~Steam/steamapps/compatdata/377160/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Fallout4/, overwriting what is there
• Move/Fallout4/ files in _Config to ~/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/377160/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games, overwriting whats there.

You should be able to launch Fallout 4 now, and have it load directly into Fallout london, and thanks to making appmanifest read only, steam will never update the game and bork your mod.

Now there are still lots of bugs in FOLON, like the train crash outside the starter area, which most people fix by installing the Buffout mod, but thats beyond the scope of this post

If any of you out there had woes getting FOLON to work like I did I really hope this helps

Edit- About 30 minutes ago, as of this edit, a patch was released to address many problems with FOLON. None of the techniques I've listed here for installing the main mod works with the patch. I am continuing to experiment and if I can figure it out I will edit this post again or make a replied post.

Edit 2-

Okay, I could not find a way to get the patcher to work to patch the game

But the base install files are also updated to the same version as the patch, so just redownload the executable and the bin files from gog and follow the steps in the original guide

Title. Game otherwise works great. Windows-using friends say it works for them. Networking is also normal on computer.

I initially thought it could be anticheat related so I disabled mangohud and made sure Easy AntiCheat was launching etc.

But no cigar, the game loads and errors out like in the pic. :

!

It seems to do so immediately, too, like it's not even trying to connect?

Tried it on my Deck too, same error.

Do not have a Windows PC to try it on, but it's really confusing me, because it ran perfectly until today. :P

After 3 years in the making I'm excited to announce the launch of Games on Whales, an innovative open-source project that revolutionizes virtual desktops and gaming. Our mission is to enable multiple users to stream different content from a single machine, with full HW acceleration and low latency.

With Games on Whales, you can:

• Multi-user: Share a single remote host hardware with friends or colleagues, each streaming their own content (gaming, productivity, or anything else!)
• Headless: Create virtual desktops on demand, with automatic resolution and FPS matching, without the need for a monitor or dummy plug
• Advanced Input Support: Enjoy seamless control with mouse, keyboard, and joypads, including Gyro and Acceleration support (a first in Linux!)
• Low latency: Uses the Moonlight protocol to stream content to a wide variety of supported clients.
• Linux and Docker First: Our curated Docker images include popular applications like Steam, Firefox, Lutris, Retroarch, and more!
• Fully Open Source: MIT licensed, and we welcome contributions from the community.

Interested in how this works under the hood? You can read more about it in our developer guide or deep dive into the code.

D3D8 support

D8VK is now part of DXVK, and implements D3D8 largely on top of the existing D3D9 implementation. Please refer to pull request #3411 for further details.

Native WSI changes

dxvk-native now supports multiple window system backends that the application can choose between at runtime. Refer to the corresponding pull request #3738 for details. In addition, proper ABI versioning has been added for native libraries.

Non-native refresh rate emulation

In environments where the display mode cannot be changed (e.g. Proton), it is possible that DXVK reports a different refresh rate to the game than what the display is currently running at. This is problematic for games that require to be run at 60 FPS but do not limit their frame rate when using a 60 Hz display mode.

To work around this, the frame rate limiter will now be engaged automatically if a game runs in full-screen mode with vertical synchronization enabled, and if the detected frame rate over a short period of time is higher than the refresh rate of the selected display mode. This also applies to D3D12 when using vkd3d-proton as of commit 80f6c46 or later.

In case a game runs at a lower rate than expected and does not provide an in-game option to change refresh rate, this behaviour can be disabled by setting d3d9.maxFrameRate = -1 (or the corresponding dxgi option for D3D10+ games). Setting DXVK_FRAME_RATE also overrides this behaviour as usual.

Bug fixes and Improvements

• Fixed various issues with D3D9 fixed-function texture coordinate processing (PR #4015, PR #4026).
• Fixed pipeline layout compatibility issues when using graphics pipeline libraries, which would cause crashes or rendering issues on AMD's official drivers with pipeline libraries enabled.
• If supported, VK_NV_descriptor_pool_overallocation will now be used to potentially save small quantities of descriptor memory.
• Improved descriptor pool management in general to save memory in case a game renders without ever presenting to the screen.
• Improved video processor blit functionality (PR #3970 PR #3984)
• Improved compatibility to third-party mods hooking various DXGI entry points (PR #3966, #3968).
• Battlefield 2, 2142: Work around hang on alt+tab (PR #4109).
• Dead Space 2: Work around issues caused by the game's Vsync implementation (PR #4071).
• Dragonshard: Work around performance issues (PR #4079).
• Fallout 4: Work around an issue with the game locking itself to 45 FPS on Steam Deck OLED.
• Fallout New Vegas: Fix rendering issues when using certain mods (PR #4079).
• Ghostbusters Remastered: Work around flickering character faces (#4045, PR #4046).
• Gothic 3: Fix shadow rendering issues caused by incorrectly reported format support (#3980, PR #3991).
• Guild Wars 2: Work around a flickering issue (PR #3992).
• Prototype: Work around broken shadow rendering if the game detects an AMD or Intel GPU (#4008, PR #4011).
• Star Citizen: Work around an issue with the game's UMD version check (PR #3985).
• The Sims 2: Work around low CPU-bound performance in some situations.
• Tomb Raider Legend: Work around flickering character issues (PR #4105).
• Red Faction Guerrila Remastered: Work around sky box rendering issues (#3696, PR #3972).
• Rise of Nations: Work around crash on alt+tab (PR #4117).

• WRC 4: Enable 60 FPS limit to work around audio issues (PR #4099).

As reported by GamingOnLinux, the folks behind the modern Myst-like Quern have a native Linux demo out on Steam for an exploration-heavy first-person adventure game called Dimhaven Enigmas.

There’s a Kickstarter with tons of additional information.

In an age of native Linux support getting dropped or passed over I hope it goes well for them.

And if you’re into that sort of thing, Quern is currently 80% off. (Though it’s also 80% off if you’re not into that sort of thing)

It's in early stages, and only supports Stardew Valley right now. There's a Trello board for their roadmap with broad outlines.

I don't play Stardew or else I would participate myself. Hope this is of interest to some of y'all!
