Is there a way to disable controller touchpads using a GUI? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

Which desktop environment are you using? If it's gnome I think you can just go into mouse settings and disable the controller. That won't disable it entirely though, just it acting as a mouse. Kde has something similar

Game on Steam started giving D3D11 compatibility error when using Proton Experimental in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

I think experimental just rebased onto wine 10 so there may have been some regressions. Could also be completely unrelated, lot of moving parts.

Linus Torvalds admits 'pure incompetence' for missing the new Linux 6.14 kernel deadline but all is forgiven as the update is great news for non-Windows gaming in c/linux@programming.dev

That's compared to default wine which doesn't have f-sync. Compared to proton there probably won't be much of a difference.

Also running into some power issues. Getting really weird behavior where it will run at full force for a bit then drop down to ~60fps, but at really regular intervals. (nixos, 6.14 rc6 cachyos, mesa-git, linux-firmware 20250311)

Some kind of throttling oscillation maybe? Saw this in Cyberpunk, MH Wilds, AC EVO, so mostly intensive games. (Was seeing something similar on windows with MH so idk.) Minecraft with shaders didn't have this behavior.

Dunno. Seems like the kind of thing that will get sorted out eventually.

Edit: this turned out to be thermal throttling from how my PC was set up.
