Any rapidfire mouse options for Linux Gaming?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 23:10

Howdy folks, so wanted to start off the new year as I mean to go on and ditch Windows and start using POP!_OS for my gaming needs. My main game of choice is FFXIV which I play on keyboard and mouse. I've encountered something I fear my muscle memory will not move on from that I'm hoping someone might have some advice (I did search but couldn't find this topic).

Two of my mouse buttons on my Logitech G903 I have set to rapidfire when they're held down. This only works when not on the onboard memory however, so not working over on my POP boot. I tried Solaar but it can't even see my Logitech mouse or keyboard. I tried Piper and Ratbag but that could similarly only change the keys but not let me use things like macros.

Do I have any other options? I would literally go so far as to change mouse brand if any other gaming mice can natively handle things on Linux.

Unreleased gear of war 3 content in gears 5

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 22:58

I would like to know how i can get this content that YouTubers Sparckl and Helios uploaded a while ago in these videos.

It shows them playing with weapons like the Boshka, ink grenades, the armored shield, the mortar, dual hammers, the Gorgon pistol, the Excavator, and the Hammer of Dawn, as well as being able to play with the Locust in Horde, such as the Mauler, the Grinder, and the Ticker.

I have the Steam version of Gears 5, but since YouTuber Sparckl deleted his story on Instagram that showed up in his instagram story to get the mod link, i don't know how to get it now.

If anyone knows how to get it, or what the mod is called, or where i could look for it or find it, whether on Discord or some specific mod site, i would really appreciate it..

Want to save. The latest open-source bleeding-edge eye-candy

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 22:37

Hey Reddit Community,

I have a bleeding-edge Linux YouTube channel i would like saved / archived. Is there anyone out there that can help with that?? Want to save the data, even outside of youtube if possible.

Im just unsure how and looking into possible solutions for it. But would like, possible input if anyone here at the community, have any ideas, as too how??

Also like to add, that its not that i dont want to take part in the community, (new account) But rather i feel a need and somewhat also a desperation to somehow (if possible, but would very much like too) save the data. First, possibly, before engaging more within the community. here on Reddit,

It may seem unimportant too those outside of that do not play games on Linux, but for me. Ive personally put in a ton of manual work and would appreciate help on the matter more than anything.

Anyway, finally here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNq7pDavJRTEjg3AOdcuMAg

Fallout 4 Modding Issues for Steam Deck

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 22:14

I'm at my wits end. I've verified the files, updated F4SE, started new MO2 instances, I even completely uninstalled and deleted everything and it just won't load MO2. Can someone help me? I just want to play Fallout 4 with mods again. It hasn't worked since the update so I gave it some time, but nothing helps.

I'm actually pretty frustrated about it because I made it a nice little horror escapism and one update later it's gone and I spent a lot of time on it. :/ Sadness surrounds me.

I got Winetricks and Proton downloaded and then downloaded MO2. The three tend to work together in instances. I also make Fallout (and Skyrim for more context, which Skyrim runs just fine) forced to run in Proton-Experimental.

is gamemode dead or even needed at this point?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 22:06

i ditched gamemode a couple of months back simply because i never noticed any improvements using it and installing it seemed more like a routine than an actual solution to something. i looked at the github repo of gamemode today and noticed that the last release was more than a year ago, so is gamemode dying? was it ever even needed?

Please upvote my plea for linux support for Rainbow Six Siege.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 21:57

Hey guys I made one of these R6fix things to attempt to beg the devs into allowing linux users to play. Don't expect it to get anything actually done but felt like trying lol.

https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/3104663180636096966

Steam seems to state that it is basically a switch you can flip.

https://r6fix.ubi.com/projects/RAINBOW6-SIEGE-LIVE/issues/LIVE-80499

If you guys have a ubisoft account and can upvote or say that you "reproduced it on your system" it would help me out greatly!

help me fix me steam gamescope session

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 21:56

hello guys

Which distro is better for HTPC and desktop use alike

I'm on cachyos at the moment and i tried gamescope session but it has an issue on 4k (Nvidia GPU might be because of that) and the gamescope session doesn't allow me to configure the resolution, so I can go down to 2k 120hz, and when I run some games it logs me out of the session.

this is the guide i followed to set it up

https://github.com/Grimish-ng/steam-gamescope-guide/blob/main/README.md

this is the picture of the weird artifact i faced
https://imgur.com/spKkkQR

so did I do something wrong while configuring it?

and after i finished conferring it i noticed 2 extra session( https://imgur.com/KpfJl3D ) i didn't create that are called 'steam big picture' and there i could configure the resolution unlike the session i created. but with the same other issues with 4k and some games logging me off.

or is the experience might be better with nobara HTPC or other distress ?

i tried nobara HTPC it has the same isuue on 4k but the games that loged me out didn't do that there

FYI

gamescope session settings:

gamescope --mangoapp -e -- steam -steamdeck -steamos3

those are my pc specs:

current OS: CachyOS x86_64

cpu: r7 5800x3d

gpu: rtx 4080

gpu driver: 590.48.01

ram: 32gb 3600hz

i tried nobara on a difrent system it specs are
cpu: i5 9600k
gpu: rtx 2060 super

gpu driver: 590.48.01

ram: 16gb

Questions for Linux on my first PC

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 21:47

Hello everybody, so I am in the process kf building my first PC, and through the time I've spent using Windows on my laptop I have come to the conclusion that I despise Microsoft.

The main reason I'm here is I'm trying to chose between a few distros for my first Linux use. I've got it down to three distros: Bazzite, Fedora, and Nobara. I'm not a complete noob to Linux as I have used my steam deck and dabbled around with some things in desktop mode but I am not a pro by any stretch of the imagination.

My main use case includes: Gaming, video editing, audio editing, and coding in C++ (and other languages).

This being my first PC build I'm afraid of borking my build before I get it's life span value out of it. What would you all recommend with all this in mind?

PC Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 9700x

GPU: RX 9070 XT

CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120

MB: Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX V2

Memory: G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36

Storage: 1 or 2TB M.2 SSD PCIe 4.0

PSU: Montech CENTURY II 1050 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Monitor: MSI MAG 275QF 27.0" 2560 x 1440 180 Hz Monitor

What does Valve plan to do with the steam frame?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 21:32

So as of right now the steam frame is an arm native stand alone headset that plans to run steam games. Valve has been giving themselves huge pats on the back for this and even gave talks about how cool their translation layer technology is, and whatever.

That's cool but...steam VR on Linux is a piece of shit. To be even more clear, steam vr itself is a not that great, but on Linux steam vr is a featureless piece of shit with horrible performance and serious stability issues. You can't open it in a lot of environments without console commands. If you do get to open it it is prone to just break and need to restart everything to recover. It doesn't even work with the latest mesa drivers.

I don't see how they are planning on releasing a major project built on a foundation that is this terrible. VR is a worse experience on Linux, but if you don't use open source stacks it's not "worse," it's basically not worth it whatsoever and dual booting is a better option. And still, as we get closer and closer to to the theoretical release window, we have...nothing on the update front. Meta, while I dislike them, have developed so much software for the quest line of products its insane. Valve has in that time essentially done nothing and on Linux less than nothing, and I don't see how this is magically going to be a good experience when the Steam Frame comes out but I hope I am proven wrong.

Steam not loading just switched to manjaro

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 20:51

Trying to get steam working but after login it just stays loading, having a hard time convincing myself Linux is a good thing, but doing absolutely anything requires research and some life energy drained from me. If only I hadn’t nuked windows. (Was previously on Pop Os)

Steam

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 20:25

I’ve played a fair few games on steam and I’ve never had any problems with them running on my PC which is on Zorin OS -

I bought a new game earlier and it won’t launch, and I don’t know what I need to do, if there is anything. For context, the game downloaded fine and all launch settings are the same as my others but when I go to play it syncs the cloud and then just flashes black, any advice on this before I contact steam to see if I can get a refund 🥲

Posting this in another subreddit too. TIA all

How to fix tiny custom in-game cursors?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 20:15

I haven't been able to find a fix for this and it is driving me nuts. Some games have custom in-game cursors that are tiny. (Possibly related to 4K resolution and/or Wayland). I did find this not-yet-released tool:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1omwce6/mykroscursor_customize_and_resize_your_ingame/

but I am wondering if there are workarounds that work today. Are there launch options add or settings I can tweak in Steam and/or Lutris? I have already tried changing the XCURSOR_SIZE launch argument. It does nothing.

MSFS24 in VR - has anyone managed to get it working?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Januar 2026 - 19:37

Question in title. I'm running most games with WinVRn just fine, but MSFS24 apparently requires SteamVR. When I lauch it I either get a black screen or a distorted 2D screen though and the switch to VR (either the button or CTRL+TAB) never works.
