Hi! I recently moved to linux mint and I am fairly new into linux gaming. I play cs2 and it runs pretty well, but i used to play 4:3 stretched, and now when i put it my mouse just stop workin in cs2, it works out of cs2 but within the game i cannot click anything, have anyone experienced this before?

Maybe a dumb question, the biggest reason I can't fully move is i do enjoy VR and sim racing, both of which I've seen have limited linux support still, and though I enjoy figuring things out and fixing stuff, I don't want to always be tinkering instead of just racing/gaming.

Would it be possible or safe to keep gaming on win 10 until it's totally not supported, but not using it for any shopping etc where sensitive info is being transferred ?

I did just order a 2 tb drive to put linux mint on, to give gaming on linux another try. I haven't had a linux install for a few years now and kind of miss it. But i do wonder if I'll need to reinstall all my games again or can just access them off the existing hard drives (I know, NTFS formatted wont be optimum for linux).

If I'm in the wrong spot to ask, please inform.

Getting 30-40 fps on a modern system. It's using ~30% of all CPUs but little to no GPU (although nvtop says it is using vram). It feels like it must be doing software rendering or something.. Tried both linux native and proton versions. Does anyone here have any idea how to make it perform better?

Edit: It just started working fine on the linux version.

I'm trying to stream games over the internet for me and a friend.

Connecting with my Android phone via my local network works fine.

Trying to add a computer manually with an IP address does not.

I went to https://www.showmyip.com/ to get my IP address and entered that, it didn't work. I tried adding the port in the Sunshine web UI after the IP address, that didn't work.

I've read this could be a firewall issue. I disabled ufw and connecting still does not work.

I tried enabling UPnP in the Sunshine web UI, and that didn't solve the problem.

What's the recommended way to connect to a PC manually? They're not very clear about what information is needed, even specifying that we need to include a port would help.
