I usually play competitive games (Siege, League, Overwatch, chess, etc) or casual FPS like Battlefield on my desktop PC.

I'm struggling to find multiplayer games that are fun to play with a controller on the couch. Overwatch would be perfect but it doesn't have controller only matchmaking (Steam controller with gyro would maybe be a good try). Fortnite, BF6, CoD, GTAO, and RDO all don't work on Linux.

I've played a little FH6 but feel like the actual multiplayer isn't that fun unless you're queued with people.

I was thinking about The Finals. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Really just want something fun, casual, that has voice chat. I've read Insurgency Sandstorm is pretty good, but I think it's dying and don't really want to dive in this late.

Appreciate any recommendations!

Hello all, new Bazzite user here. This is a weird one, but in games with voice chat, people are hearing themselves being echoed through my mic.

The only problem is I don't even have a mic. Bazzite is my couch rig, there are no microphones or headphones attached. Audio is being output to a set of Edifier R1700BT speakers using Steam's Bluetooth feature.

Steam does not recognize any mic within settings.

I have the following peripherals plugged in: Logitech G502 wireless mouse, Red Dragon Crescent Pro membrane keyboard, 8Bitdo Ultimate 2 controller dock (controller itself is wireless).

I have actually reinstalled the OS and this is happening on both instances. This is also happening with two different motherboards.

Computer plugged into my TV via HDMI.

Specs are as follows: Ryzen 5 5600, 6700XT GPU, B550M-VC mobo, 8GB DDR4 2400Mhz Ram (I know I know, I have 16GB 3600Mhz ready to be installed), 1 TB HDD (I know, new SSD will be here Friday).

Games this has occured in where people have complained: Mecha Chameleon, and Sledding Game (these are the only multiplayer games I have tried).

What microphone input the games list: Pulse Audio Input.

My theory is my output audio stream is being cloned into the input Stream somehow but I'm not sure why. That's my best guess anyway.

So I got a Steam deck about a year or so ago for basically "free". I sold all my CS skins that I had been holding since high school and paid like $70 out of pocket.

Unfortunately it's just not powerful enough to game on my 4k TV. I run everything at 720p and upscale it but it's just not as powerful as I want it to be.

Obviously the screen, joysticks, buttons, etc all cost money and go into the total cost of the Deck, so I was thinking of selling it and thinking that I'd be able to use that money and maybe like $100-150 more to get something that's quite a bit more beefy. Something that can handle PS4 + Xbox One (generation wise not emulation wise) games at 60 FPS maybe?

Some games I want to play at minimum decent graphics, 1080p, 45 FPS: RDR2, Horizon 6, Elden Ring, Battlefield 6 (idk I'll probably install Linux so maybe not BF).

I also plan to use it for emulation, but probably nothing crazy. My favorite game of all time is the 1985 SMB game and I really like the original God of War trilogy.

Do you guys have any suggestions as to what I should consider?

I really just want to use it as a console.

I've used RetroPie many times over the years but I went to flash it today and saw it hasn't been updated since 2022. I'm sure it still works just fine, but before I go through the process of installing it, I wanted to see if it still worth using or if I should consider something else?

Also, I may get a mini PC game for emulation in the future. Open to suggestions if anyone has any, but for now I'll be using the Pi.

I have been having this issue for a month or two now. I am on Windows 11, it's a gaming PC. 5070 TI, 16 GB DDR4 3600Mhz, Ryzen 7 5800XT, Windows install is probably 6 months old, 2 TB Sata SSD.

When I attempt to attach a file to an email, or upload a PDF or anything like that to any website, the file explorer opens and hangs for about 30-45 seconds, before displaying the list of files.

One day it just started occurring and never went away. The rest of my PC works perfectly fine, gaming and everything is all good, but anytime I need to attach a file to something, this occurs. Trying to simply open file explorer and browse around works as expected, this occurs only when attempting to attach/upload a file, and it doesn't matter what app I'm trying to upload to.

I use this computer for work, and this costs me a lot of time and interrupts my flow state. Any advice on how to resolve the issue would be greatly appreciated.

The only trouble shooting I have attempted is using the Disk Cleanup tool.

Appreciate any troubleshooting tips or possible solutions. Thanks in advance.

Just wondering what would happen if someone decided to buy something from Best Buy and then let's say like a year later that thing stops working, so they buy the same item again, and then 2 weeks later try to return the broken item, passing it off as the new item. Then let's say the refund is denied in store and they tell you the serial numbers don't match, but it does match that person's purchase history from the item they bought one year ago so they send them on their way.

Would that interaction go on that person's record? Would the police be notified?

This is all completely hypothetical of course, purely curiosity.
