I would like to have this game working on Bazzite!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Januar 2026 - 21:04

I am a Linux and Bazzite newbie, I am enjoying the experience so far.

Rapala Pro Fishing from 2004 is a 32-bit PC game which I enjoyed playing very much in the past. I still have the original CD-Rom which still works. I installed it on Lutris and Heroic, but the game won't start. I am double booting Bazzite and Windows 11, but I would like to get rid of Windows 11 for good. Any tips on how to get it running would be cool. Cheers!

Are these artifacts a sign of my GPU dying?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Januar 2026 - 20:50

Whenever I see posts asking for tips regarding these kind of artifacts, it almost always seems to indicate that your GPU is dying, so it's my turn to ask this exact same question!

This has started happening recently, maybe within a month and I've seen this maybe 3-4 times, some of the times they appear when coming back from suspend/sleep and once they just appeared when watching a video or something.

I don't have any other "issues". When it comes to gaming, temps are fine (from 70-80c while gaming) and updating the drivers that got just released didn't resolve this issue either.

I have an Gainward RTX 3060 Ghost.

Does installing HoyoPlay on Lutris get you Banned?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Januar 2026 - 20:31

I'm just curious because while Gacha games aren't my main focus in gaming, they're fun in their own way. And I'm asking especially for Honkai Impact 3rd cause I heard it was Stingy on Linux

What's a Linux Mint-compatible capture card with 4K60 passthrough and allows 1440p60 recording?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Januar 2026 - 19:37

I'm on Windows 11, but I'll be switching to Linux Mint soon. Currently, I'm using an Elgato 4K S to record my PS5 gameplay (I won't be streaming), but I don't know if it'll continue to work the way it does now after I switch. I'd be glad to get your recommendations.

Im new to linux gaming and need recommendation on a new card

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Januar 2026 - 19:20

I have a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER right now but want to upgrade and have found a Nvidia Quadro RTX 5000 at half price - is this a good idea?

If not, can I get recommendations on a powerful card?

Im running Kubuntu atm but am flexible and can change OS if its required or better for gaming, as all my work related stuff is done in the browser any way

Distribution for new user

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Januar 2026 - 19:13

Hi, which distribution would you recommend for a beginner Linux user so that I can play games without hassle, but also practice using Linux. For example, I came across Bazzite — is that a good option?

Helldivers 2: Squad invited not working

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Januar 2026 - 19:04

I decided to test Linux gaming and installed Steam on NixoOS. After setting `kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=1` the GameGuard worked fine and Helldivers started OK. But squad invited don’t work to either direction. The invites go through Steam both ways, but the ”establishing link” always timeouts. The computer has dualboot and Helldivers works without any issues on Win 11/Steam. Any ideas what could be wrong.

Also, the HDR option is not becoming available in HD2 even KDE/Plasma 6 has HDR on and the monitor is in HDR state. But that’s a smaller issue.

Pirated games: should I play them through Steam or Lutris?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Januar 2026 - 19:00

Hello guys. I hope talking about piracy isn't a problem here.

I was wondering if there are advantages or disadvantages of adding "3rd party" games to Steam or Lutris.

Currently, i just use Steam, and add the games externally, and everything works fine. So i wonder why would i use Lutris? Are there any advantages of adding the games to Lutris, rather than Steam?

Audio Advice Needed

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Januar 2026 - 18:44

Ive dipped my toes into Pop!_OS recently and was impressed how out-of-the-box its was and impressed how quick I was up gaming but have been struggling with my audio interface. I have a Steinberg H224 which is USB class compliant.

The only issue im running across is input. I can hear just fine and can switch between monitors and headphones but no mic input or channel works, checked through discord and test clips with audacity to confirm its something software side.

Any advice would be great as this is the only hangup I have to dump Windows for good.

Screen is dimming and stuttering in all games now

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Januar 2026 - 18:33

All my games using Lossless Scaling are now flickering every three seconds and stuttering. When I clear the Proton files, the game runs normally without any issues, but the moment I launch the game a second time, the stuttering returns. What in the world is happening?Its like my screen is dimming up and down everytime this happens.

Linux distro for gaming and AI programming

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Januar 2026 - 18:32

I have a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RX9070xt. I play videogames and program AI related apps. I'm looking for the best destro that can do both. I've heard fidora fits best but it looks outdated to me (UI wize). I really like the concept of Garuda and it looks great but since it's arch I don't want to waste 5 hours every time I want to add a package.

Contemplating Moving to Linux over Windows

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Januar 2026 - 18:19

As the title says, I'm contemplating moving to linux over windows. I've been a windows user for years, but lately, their OS has felt more and more like a heaping pile of dogshit, the constant updates nobody asked for, the AI they added (tried rolling back the update, but it won't let me, need to be an admin...I am the admin dumbass!) among other things. My biggest question, before I make the journey to these lands unknown though is, what games will I be able to play and what games won't I be able to play. I've heard from a few sources that most games can play on linux, with only a small majority that can't, so thought I'd ask here since I always get good info on reddit. The games I play mostly are survival games like once human, dune awakening, world of warcraft and diablo. If it can run those games then awesome. Other than that, what other perks if any are there to switching to Linux? Please let me know. And thanks for anyone that takes the time to answer and give input.

RX 9070 XT driver crashes while playing Minecraft - any ideas why?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. Januar 2026 - 16:17

Hi! For 2 days now I have a problem with my pc. While playing Minecraft 1.21.11 and using Photon shaders (neoforge, sodium and iris mods), my game (and os) frezees, after around 30 mins. I can still hear audio, however I cannot do anything else. After around 10s my pc unfreezes and minecraft crashes. If anyone have any idea why that happens, please help, thanks. Can it be caused by Photon shaders? I've used other ones (like Complementary Shaders) before and never had these issue.

PC:
- Ryzen 5700x
- Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 XT
- 16 gb 3200 MHz ram
- 750W Asus Rog psu
- OS PikaOS 4 x86_64
- Kernel: 6.18.2-pikaos
- amdgpu 23.0.0-1
