Hey fellas, could you help me understand a bit more about HDR?...

Hello, I just installed Nobara as I thought it would be easier to play on Linux I had a bit of experience with KDE and manage to get a system running OK. Though I have now an issue with wine. When I tried to start an application (the installation is done at this point) it ask to have DirectX installed to get it running. How do I...

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.

It’s just me or RetroArch developed the best FLOSS alternative to proprietary UI? You have a nice overlay, CRT shaders, bezels, some netplay function, customizable interface. All of this completely free and super fast....

Seriously. I don’t know that it can be done on Linux. There was a user on protondb that claimed the game works “even with lots of mods” but there’s no way to message people on there and ask them how the fuck they got something to work....

I have it on steam but I realized it’s on gog. Not having to reinstall my mods ever (unless I want to) is worth buying the game again....

For years I was stuck with a setup where my main monitor was plugged into the GPU via HDMI, but my secondary monitor only had VGA, for which the card did not have a port. My motherboard does have one, though. Using that basically worked… with random issues popping up both now on Linux and way back in the dark times....

I use a cheap BT stick to connect my Dual Shock-alike to Proton-driven games via Steam....

Nvidia 555 Drivers on Bazzite (Nvidia :heart: Wayland)...

Currently, if I upgrade to 555 drivers, my second monitor will not show a display despite it being detected by Plasma and xrandr. Additionally, if I do get past the log screen on wayland, my framerate/refresh rate is abysmal but not reported by xrandr. Unplugging the second monitor fixes the issue....

Hi y’all,...

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’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...
