Sensor Panel Software for LCD display inside PC

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Dec 2025 - 3:16pm

Hello, Im new to the Linux ecosystem and am in the process of learning Fedora/Nobara. I swapped from Windows and used Aida64 for a sensor panel to monitor my temps, utilization, etc. and enjoyed that data being displayed with cool designs.

Are there any programs that I can use on Linux that would allow me to read that data and display it on a usb LCD?

Microsoft "your device will open a security window" infinite load when launching Sea of Thieves

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Dec 2025 - 3:10pm

New to linux gaming, running Arch. I tried booting sea of thieves from steam but when logging in, after entering my email address, it loads infinitely on this window:

Online, all the info I could find was "last update broke it but it was resolved on the last proton patch". Not really helpful.

How does this work? Can I even play the game? Thanks!

My SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 are reconnecting every 20 seconds on Ubuntu

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Dec 2025 - 2:26pm

Hi. In February I bought SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5. I mostly used Windows at the time, Linux was my secondary OS. A few months I switched to Linux and I have been having one major issue with these headphones. After some time of use, they start to disconnect and reconnect every 20 seconds. I think it is because USB controller switches dongle HD-Audio to hid-generic. I am adding my journalctl -kf logs here: https://pastebin.com/8Dz1TDUa

Does anyone know how to fix this? It is really annoying to hear crackling audio every 20 seconds.

Proton versions for Fallout New Vegas

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Dec 2025 - 2:06pm

I've been wanting to get back into Fallout New Vegas but no proton versions newer than Proton 4.11-13 seem to work. They all open the launcher but it will crash and close instantly.

Im running on a fresh install of the game using Arch linux.

Linux alternative for Virtual Desktop? (VR)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Dec 2025 - 1:35pm

Hello

I have a Pico 4 I used back when I was using windows. I used Virtual Desktop for streaming from the PC to the headset. Is there an alternative for doing the same thing on Linux? I'm running Arch with Hyprland.

How is screen sharing on discord?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Dec 2025 - 1:12pm

I have tried Linux multiple times and had to switch back to windows after some time. I am feeling optimistic about giving it a new try, now that i don't need my pc for school or work anymore. All my games should be supported so there is only one thing im unsure of, and that is screen sharing on discord. Last time i tried it had no audio, no GPU encoding and didn't work on Wayland. I understand it so audio and Wayland support should be fixed, but im unsure if that is actually the case. I have a nvidia card and im planing on going for bazzite.

Digimon story time stranger first launch and it's giving me this.

My brother had no issues when he played the game so I have no idea why I'm getting this issue when we have the same setup exept for his graphics card being later than mine.

Test version, Zordeer Snap.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Dec 2025 - 11:12am

Yo! I'm trying to make a Snap version of Zordeer, which is a launcher for games that run via Wine/Proton.

Currently, in the Snap version, I managed to run games using UMU-launcher, so it's being used by default.

But I still don't know how to make MangoHUD work.

At the moment I haven't been able to release it on Snapcraft due to the steam-support plugin, so this version is only available on Github:

https://github.com/Kyuyrii/Zordeer/releases/download/1.4/Zordeer-1.4-Snap.tar.gz

TF2 launch issues on Linux Mint Cinnamon

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Dec 2025 - 10:38am

When I launch Team Fortress 2 for the first time after I start my computer the game freezes while loading for about 2 or 3 minutes before the game closes on it's own. Alt + F4 does not work, neither does Alt + Tab. If I try to launch the game again it opens just fine without any issues.

Bloodborne shadps4, bad Linux performance.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Dec 2025 - 10:35am

Has anyone and dealt with and solved bad Linux performance for Bloodborne in shadps4? I have a 5900x and 9070 xt and am getting 40 fps with drops to 20 an lower. On windows I'm getting around 120 on average with the frame rate unlocked and blank set to 180. Neither my CPU or GPU has high usage and changing schedulers doesn't do anything to help. The performance goes up if I switch from the latest pre release to 0.9.0, but that's about it. Any ideas?

Steam desktop input interferes even if disabled for Heroic game shortcuts

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Dec 2025 - 10:13am

I have a lot of GoG games in Heroic, but I'm trying to organize my games neatly in my Steam library. Problem is Steam doesn't seem to be able to reliably disable Steam Input when requested for these game shortcuts. I get conflicting inputs in many games due to keyboard/mouse inputs being registered at the same time as the game's native controller support - unplayable.

Overriding on a per-game basis doesn't work, disabling Desktop Configuration in Launcher doesn't help, and neither does disabling the Steam overlay or trying different proton/wine binaries. Seems like I have to either manually disable steam input globally every time (making my couch controller setup much less comfy) or exit steam entirely (murdering any attempts at library unification) to play. Neither of which are ideal.

Is this just a me problem or is this a known issue with Heroic via Steam? Does anyone have a proper workaround? How can I force Steam Input to disable as expected when Heroic games are launched?

But i have a 4060 in my system, and i read and also experienced in some way that bazzite doesnt run well on a nvidia card in gaming mode.

should i wait till i have enough money to buy a 9060xt 16gb or can i install bazzite right out of the box

rtx 4060

64GB ram (star citizens fault)

2 ssds one for boot and one for gaming

thanks in advanced
