I’ve been playing LoL since a long time - practically since my friends etc. started it in 2009. I was on windows back then and moved slowly and slowly to Linux via dual boot. These days I only used windows for gaming and Linux (Ubuntu) for everything else....

Anyone can help me? I wasn’t able to find any solution for this. The controller works via USB-C just fine but I only have a very short cable, I borrowed the controller from a friend to try it and don’t have the original cable but I was intending to play via Bluetooth anyways....

Like many old PC games, the game comes with an activation-code on the back of the case. The installer asks me for the 25 digit code on the case. I look, and I can see that the code definitely contains 25 digits. But than when I try to input the 25 digit code into the 5 text boxes provided (5 digits per box) only 4 digits can be...

I have the Valve Index and I’m looking to experiment with using Linux as a daily driver (again). I’ve tried the latest version of Pop!_OS since I heard people have had good experiences with that, but I get various errors when starting SteamVR (some bluetooth errors, and some others that I don’t remember the codes for) that...

I’ve just switched over from Windows to Linux for my daily driver in the last few weeks, and after the initial learning curves everything seems pretty solid. The only thing I really, really need for some games is the ability to rebind keys that the game itself doesn’t allow. Examples would be Orcs Must Die 1 (no rebinding at...

Weirdest damn thing, occasionally my network connectivity was being lost. Not the wifi signal, but just the route to the internet. I finally realized today it happens whenever I do a fresh boot (i.e. first time after system boot) of Heroic Games Launcher....

Hey all, I want to upgrade the setup that I use on my RV. I use a Raspberry Pi 3 for basically watching videos and some retro gaming. I want to be able to play more resource-intensive games, although definitely do not require anything AAA in the highest settings - I’m talking about Starcraft 2, Shieldwall, TABS, Humankind…...

Hey all, I have a RTX 3060 and a Ryzen 5600G and I'm on Ubuntu 22.04. Since Steam has shader pre-processing on Linux I thought I'd ask on a Linux gaming community about this.
