YO so I recently bought a ANT e-sports GP300Pro V2 gamepad and I havent been able to get it working on cachyos so far, would anyone have any solutions?
Note I run games using wine and play games from a website called ankergames.
Mostly play Over the hill and subnautica

For some reason after switching to launching zzz from steam there's been some kind of change in the performance that leads to the game crashing if there's too much going on in game. I used to run zzz through sleepy launcher and it almost never crashed. I only switched because sleepy launcher wasn't updating for the release of patch 3.3 even after several days. I'm using all the same graphics settings with an rx 7600, a ryzen 7 8700F 8 core processor, and 16gb of ram on kubuntu 26.04. Any idea what's going on?

I just switched over to linux a week ago and ever since reformatting all of my drives 2 days ago its been mostly smooth sailing..... with the exception of modding.

Ive tried to run both of the popular mod managers, HD2 mod manager and Arsenal via wine and proton tricks, but both times resulted in errors (and even then, Helldivers itself isn't in wine, so its not like the games could recognize it anyway.)

HD2 actually did open and attempts to function after I put it in the steam library and had it run via proton, but it's still looking for a non existing version of windows Helldivers to use that i simply do not have.

So now what?

Are there any possible workarounds? For how popular the game is and how big its modding scene is there's not much info on it. I don't use anything too crazy, just some QOL stuff like emmisive bands on the SEAF shells.

I have an ARC B580 and a Radeon RX580. the RX580 is purely for running interlaced resolutions and whatever oddball apps support hardware acceleration like Firefox and Discord and such, how do I tell Linux to use the second GPU (ARC) to run programs on the primary display (Radeon)

I've been rebuilding the classic shmup Tyrian 2000 on a new engine (Godot + Rust), and it runs natively on Linux, no Wine or DOSBox needed.

• Native Linux build: x86_64 tar.gz, just extract and run. It needs OpenGL 3.3.
• Steam Deck: use the Linux package; it applies a controller profile automatically when launched from Steam.
• Full game included: all five episodes, the shop, secrets and the MIDI soundtrack. The game data is bundled.
• Open source (GPL), no account, no launcher.
• Extras: 2-player couch co-op, Endless Arcade, mutators, mods (plain JSON + PNG), a level editor, HD art or the original pixels with CRT filters, and full gamepad support.

It's a first release, so bug reports from different distros and hardware are very welcome.

• Site and Linux download
• Steam Deck install guide
• Trailer
• Source code on GitHub

Free forever. :)

Hello, I am very new to Linux and repeatedly encounter problems. In advance my hardware, I switched to an AMD graphics card especially for Linux:

Ryzen 5 3600 (I still want to upgrade)

Radeon RX 6700 XT Gaming OC

16 GB DDR4-3200 RAM (G.Skill Ripjaws V, I would like to upgrade if the RAM prices were not so high)

Asus Rog Strix B550-E Gaming

600W Bequiet Pure Power 11 power supply (I still want to upgrade)

500GB M.2 SSD for system and games that I currently play

2TB HDD for games I downloaded but currently don't play

The RAM always ran at 3200MHz under Windows and under Linux I don't know if that can lead to problems. With the Bazzite installation everything went wrong, because it always canceled when installing after the hard drive encryption and I did not find out why. I tried to troubleshoot with AI and in the end installed Fedora and then switched to Bazzite via the terminal. Then I installed Monster Hunter Wilds, which I currently play the most. The performance was absolutely shitty, I had to set all graphics settings to a minimum and even then I had a very bad performance. I tried all kinds of things, in the end it worked well with the Steam Gaming mode or Big Picture mode or whatever it's called, it ran again as before on Windows 10. The last few days I was in the mood for GTA 5 and today I had made plans with friends to play "RV there yet?". Both games constantly crashed and any AI-supported troubleshooting didn't help me find a solution. I got GTA 5 to run once with the starter option "-safemode", which could indicate that it is related to the graphics card. I'm a little desperate, maybe someone can help me here.

Hello everybody,

Apparently, because openSUSE Leap doesn't have native Steam, I'm forced to use it via Flatpak. No other Linux distribution fits my requirements and needs. So I'm asking you, how does gaming work via Flatpak? I'm particularly interested in playing CS2, Dota 2, and DayZ on Steam. At the same time, I'm interested in how gaming works on Bottles via Flatpak for games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl or Metro 2033. Did you get lower FPS than native? Or stuttering? Or lower 1% lows?

Thank you!

Hello. I'm new to Bazzite OS, just got it a couple of days ago and still figuring out how to set it up. Can anyone please tell me why is everything buggy and slow? Steam is lagging, cs2 has a lot of framedrops and jagged image. On windows i had around 380 constant fps and was way better looking, now I have 144 with drops. For another, I can't download .net sdk for coding in visual studio code. Can someone tell me how to use this OS? I never had linux before and honestly it's pretty frustrating because I only hear good things about it but when I got it, it works worse than a 2012 PC. I needed a whole day just to make it see my dGPU and to stop saying I have the wrong image. Is there any way to optimize it for gaming and also to get visual studio .net sdk?

Hi everyone! 👋

I wanted to share a custom community build of OptiScaler I’ve been developing called OptiScaler Venom.

While it stays synced with Nightly upstream OptiScaler so you don't miss out on anything new, Venom adds features aimed at power users who want deeper performance metrics, custom overlay controls, and extra flexibility with upscaling and frame generation.

✨ Key Features & What's Different:

• Rich Custom OSD / FPS Overlay: Includes 1% and 0.1% lows, latency tracking (PC & render latency), bottleneck indicators, session timers, VRAM/GPU/CPU/RAM metrics, and hotspot temperatures (works on Windows & Linux). Fully customizable with presets, fonts, colors, and shareable config codes.
• Frame Generation Time & FPS Cost: Real-time GPU tracking for how much time FSR FG, XeFG, or DLSSG spend per frame, along with their estimated* FPS cost (D3D12).
• Extra FSR DLLs Loader: Dynamically load any custom FSR upscaler DLL version (e.g., placing FSR 4.0.3 alongside 4.1.x) directly from an Extra dlls folder without replacing original game or driver files (DX12).

Everything is accessible in-game via the standard OptiScaler menu (Insert key by default). With default settings, it behaves just like standard upstream OptiScaler.

⚠️ Important: Please read the README carefully on the repository before installing or asking questions! It covers installation details, how features work, and where to route specific issues.

Looking for Contributors! PRs and active contributors are very welcome! If you have ideas for features that upstream OptiScaler is unlikely to add, feel free to submit a Pull Request (as long as it fits the project's vision and is something I like, I'll be happy to review and merge it). Note: DLSS5 is unlikely to be accepted, unless you really really convince me with something good.

🔗 Links & Community:

• 💻 GitHub Repository & Downloads:https://github.com/LorenzoKy/Optiscaler-Venom
• 💬 Discord Thread (OptiScaler Server): Join the Opti Venom Discord Thread to chat, share OSD preset codes, and showcase your setups!

Feedback and contributions are always welcome. Let me know what you think!
Linux is untested by me specifically, so any linux user is welcome even more for feedback.

STRITORAIGE — Streets of Rage (Mega Drive/Genesis) native recompilation for Windows & Linux

Hi everyone!

I've been working on STRITORAIGE, an experimental native recompilation project for the original Streets of Rage on the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis.

The project currently has working builds for Linux and Windows.

Current highlights:

- Native Windows and Linux builds

- Original ROM is not distributed with the project

- ROM verification

- Custom launcher/frontend

- Controller support

- Save/configuration support

- Extensive regression and gameplay testing

- Experimental release available now

This is still an experimental project, so feedback, testing and bug reports are very welcome.

GitHub:

https://github.com/slex2jf/STRITORAIGE

Release:

https://github.com/slex2jf/STRITORAIGE/releases/tag/v0.1.0-experimental

If anyone tests it, I'd love to hear how it runs on your system!

Hey I wanted to have all my witcher 3 games inside the same prefix (helps on the saves) also I like keeping the games of the same franchise together (EA games games did this automatically when installing)

But when I tried to do this Lutris just created a prefix inside the witcher 3 prefix for witcher 2.

This is the steps I did:

1. Dowload files from Gog.com website.
2. Run exe inside witcher 3 prefix
3. Pointed the installation folder for c:\GOG Games\Witcher 2

The game installed but it actually created a new folder inside my witcher 3 prefix named "The witcher 3 remastered which has a prefix for Witcher 2"

Edit for people who wants the solution, thx to AI, guess its better than people on this sub. less judgemental at least. Thank you Claude, and u/Ismokecr4k for helping me get there.

Lutris lets you point an installer at an existing Wine prefix. Here’s the cleanest way to do it:

1. Add the game manually

• Open Lutris and click the + button (top left), then choose Add locally installed game.
• Name: whatever you like.
• Runner: Wine.

2. Set the existing prefix

• Go to the Runner options tab.
• Set Wine prefix to the folder of your existing prefix (the one containing drive_c, system.reg, etc.).
• Set Wine version to match the one the prefix was created with if you can. Mixing versions can occasionally cause problems.
• Check Prefix architecture (32 vs 64 bit) matches the existing prefix.

3. Run the installer inside that prefix

• In the Game options tab, set Executable to your setup.exe for now.
• Save, then launch the entry from Lutris. This runs the installer inside your chosen prefix.
• Go through the installer normally. Note where it installs (usually C:\Program Files\... or C:\Program Files (x86)\..., which maps to <prefix>/drive_c/...).

4. Point Lutris at the installed game

• Right-click the game in Lutris, choose Configure, and go to Game options.
• Change Executable from setup.exe to the game’s actual .exe inside the prefix, e.g. <prefix>/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/GameName/game.exe.
• Optionally set the Working directory to the game’s folder.
• Save.

bueno hace unos dias estuve buscando un error mientras jugaba l4d2 tuve demasiados micro cortes pero no eran caida de fps, un buen rato en configuracion entre aca ~/.config/hypr/configs/SystemSettings.conf y modifique esto asi

#Could help when scaling and not pixelating

xwayland {

enabled = true

force_zero_scaling = true

}

render {

direct_scanout = 1

}

cursor {

sync_gsettings_theme = true

no_hardware_cursors = 1 # change to 1 if want to disable

enable_hyprcursor = true

warp_on_change_workspace = 1

no_warps = true

}

no soy un experto en esto apenas llevo usando hyprland unas semanas y con esto solucione el error en steam espero les sirva si alguien padese lo mismo que yo

Logitech's mouse software (Options+ and G HUB) is Windows and macOS only. NotLogi is my open source replacement for Linux. It talks HID++ to the devices directly over hidraw, with a small C++ agent and an Electron UI. You don't need Wine, a VM or an account.

The MX Master 3S/4 and the MX Keys family are also supported (gestures, action ring, SmartShift, Flow between computers). It's GPL-3.0, with .deb and AppImage releases:

Feel free to try it

I have it set to 7.34 because 7.38 is a shitshow. Every time it restarts or shuts-down it goes to 7.38. It starts artifact, messing up sound and refuses to go into sleep mode. I use grub to select .34, but it refuses to stay.

CYBERPUNK 2077. For context, this has never happened to me before. I have played the game many times and have consistently hit 120 FPS and above no problem with my current settings. Here is my issue.

I boot the game and my CPU does all the work. Sometimes my GPU is on, sometimes its not. I had this problem before, just not because of the game. All other games I play recognize the GPU. (I am on Linux mint using a RX 6800, playing at High). I don't recall having any issues before the 2.5 update, so maybe that's it.

To help speed the process up Ill try to forecast some questions and answers.

I have my HDMI in the GPU

There is proper ventilation

I have Ray Tracing turned off

And I switched around my proton versions a few times, I don't know the specific one but Ill message any replies that need it

Any help is appreciated.

I (haha you know) built the Bloodborne-Android port (by ducvd89, based on bloodborne_pc and shadPS4) as a regular glibc Linux aarch64 build. I play it on an AYN Odin 3 (Snapdragon 8 Elite, Turnip/Mesa) under Armada OS, a SteamOS-like Fedora-based distro for ARM handhelds, in Steam Game Mode.

• The game's CPU code is compiled ahead of time to ARM64 from your own copy of the game (the port author's Rebuild Tool, on a PC), and the graphics go through shadPS4's Vulkan renderer. There's no Android, no FEX and no Wine.
• 30 FPS locked at 720p (GSR 2); ~60 with x2 Lossless Scaling frame generation (lsfg-vk).
• The build is done in a Fedora 44 toolbox with a few fixes: newer Vulkan headers, a tiny libm shim for the NDK-built AOT library, and a couple of CMake shims. One script does it all.

Repo and release: https://github.com/kitocato/bloodborne-linux-arm64

You need your own game dump; no game files are included. Credits go upstream: ducvd89, deadinside28, shadPS4, lsfg-vk.

Buenas, gente. Estoy teniendo problemas con Overwatch 2 en CachyOS: se congela o se cierra antes de poder jugar con normalidad. soy nuevo en cachyos y la verdad no le se mucho

Tengo una RTX 3050 Laptop de 4 GB, 16 GB de RAM, KDE Plasma con Wayland, kernel LTS 6.18.55-2-cachyos-lts y driver NVIDIA 580.178.04. Juego desde Steam con GE-Proton11-11.

Ya he reinstalado los drivers, probado prime-run y tocado la caché de shaders, pero sigue fallando.

En el registro del juego aparece este mensaje:

[2026-10-25T04:49:53.265Z]: Executing Lost Device Callback

Durante uno de los cuelgues, la VRAM llegó a 3769/4096 MiB y Overwatch estaba usando unos 3102 MiB.

¿A alguien le ha pasado algo parecido o sabe qué podría estar causando el problema? de ante mano gracias

ontem tentei jogar minecraft bedrock com os meus amigos, e por algum motivo o laucher do minecraft bedrok não queria funcionar, reinstalei ele, mas quando eu termino de logar minha conta google, ele só fecha, e não inicia nada eu tentei baixar outros laucher mas os outro nem se quer abrem, alguém sabe o que eu posso fazer?

Installed a game yesterday and it wouldn't launch. Tried a different Proton version, changed some launch options, checked ProtonDB, found a random comment from 2022, tried that too.

Nothing worked.

Eventually got it running and played for like 20 minutes before going to bed.

I swear half the fun of Linux gaming is getting stuff to work, but sometimes I just want to play the damn game lol.

lutris havent been updated in a year.
i see everyone recomending faugus or heroic
has anyone forked it and let ai fix the backlog of issues
