hi so i want to use parsec on linux to play minecraft java when am not home but its not showing my streaming computer

Hello! I have recently begun gaming on Nobara Linux and overall, my experience has been quite good. The biggest issue I’ve experienced so far is not being able to control my Lian Li SL V2 fan controller. The fans connected to the controller are only recognized in my BIOS once I run L-Connect 3 in windows but if my system is...

I was just wondering what would happen if I downloaded a game that was infected by a computer virus and ran it in Linux using Proton....

I have a very, very old laptop with me. I don’t know the exact specs, but it has a single core celeron processor and 4GB of RAM. It’s an old little thing, maybe 15 years old....

So for the past couple of years (… coming on a decade?) I’ve liked the 8bitdo controllers a lot. Build consistency is a bit of a shitshow but you can tell almost instantly if you have one of the bad ones (and it is usually a matter of just loosening one screw unless the PCB itself is cracked). And the Ultimate Pro Whatever...

Hi y’all,...

I’ve been gaming on Kubuntu for over 2 years now but recently have been getting interested in Garuda. I’ve booted into the live Dragonized Gaming iso and was really impressed with the out of the box gaming-centric setup....

Considering upgrading my gaming rig with the following bundle ->...

Title. Turning off the fancy effects (which can be done with Alt+Shift+F12) improves performance slightly, but having to toggle them on and off every time I start a game is… Y’know. A thing....

Dear Linux gaming community,...

Hello guys....

With the use of Heroic game launcher, I’m wondering if you all preferred to play your GOG version of games over the Steam version. I can go either way but sometimes I pause and think, having two copies of the same game, one on steam and one on GOG, which one would give me a better gaming experience. For example, I may choose...

Hey, Recently bought 2 new PS5 controllers to play on PC(BazziteOS), that’s connected to a TV. I have the controllers connected to my network card (TP-Link Archer TX50E), that supports Bluetooth 5.0. However, while the PC is only 3 meters away from the TV and the couch, the controllers keep falling out due to bad connectivity....

I was always on Linux since Varsity but two years ago when I bought a gaming Laptop, it had Windows 11 on and worked great. I thought I would give it a chance and it was great especially for gaming. Luckily a lot of the open source software I was used to were available on windows. I also liked some of the Linux tools like the...

I’m running nobara currently as my distro, but these issues persist after trying Pop!_OS and several other distros with help from forums etc. Be it pure WINE, Proton, or Lutris installs across multiple distros and drivers, the game will work perfectly for the first run. Afterwards, the game will immediately crash after...

I built a PC for the family yesterday, and I’m hoping to get away with going 100% Linux. What makes me a little nervous is that Epic Games, GOG, battle.net, EA store, etc don’t officially support Linux. If I try using Lutris, or Heroic Games Launcher, or something similar to use those platforms, is there a chance my account...

This is a recent issue, and I don’t know what has changed to cause it. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which games work and which ones don’t. My monitor’s resolution is set to 2560 x 1440 in the display settings, but some games don’t recognize it....

I’m old-naughties internet café crew from around the era of the original Counter Strike through CoD MWF3 and Battlefield 2042. I wouldn’t mind reliving the nostalgia of that era, and have more than enough machine to do it now. I have zero tolerance for micro transactions, gatekeeping, or software as a service business...

I have been using Linux to game now mostly for around 1-2 months and halo infinite runs but runs like crap compared to win 11. When I run the game on windows I get 144 fps almost constantly on Linux I get 70-80. I am new to this and not sure what to tweak or change to get it to run better if anything. I play via steam using...

As the title says, I am looking to install both the package version (on OpenSuse Tumbleweed) and Flatpak version. I’ve been running the package version for awhile and it’s been fine but I want to play with the Flatpak version to see how that compares - partially because I may eventually go for an immutable distro....

The only issues I’ve had were audio related, first the soundcard wouldn’t work and I switched to a USB mixer, but after waking the computer this morning the USB mixer won’t work and now I have to use the magically working built in sound card. What’s that about?...

Hey guys,...

I don’t know if this is desired, however I personally would appreciate compatibility reports for newly released games....

I was going to going to ask this question because Steam Flatpak was listed as last being updated May 2023, but they just updated it yesterday. That’s still about 9 month between updates....
