NVIDIA’s prime-run was crappy so i made a drop in replacement for it

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Februar 2026 - 15:53

Hello gamers, I’ve made a simple script that aims to replace and expand on prime-run for slightly more convinient way of running games without a launcher.

Some may ask why, mostly because I was used to running games on my disk via file manager. Yes, Windows-y thing to do, but I believe I am not alone on that and this aims to be a solution for gaining best performance out of your hardware without relying on the launcher if you don’t like them.

As many people know, prime-run is strictly for offloading rendering to NVIDIA gpus on laptops with integrated and descrete gpus, true. This also supports amd dual gpus and runs gamemode, mangohud, and gamescope if they’re available on your system. Another thing I’ve added is configurarion (on top of the script) for gamescope. Without learning what each parameter does what for gamescope, i’ve made some values so you can just edit and adjust to your needs.

I’m more than happy to hear your feedback on this and how I can improve it further for people that may need this. I’ll make GitHub page more detailed as I improve on it.

All in all, happy gaming! 😁

Swapping from a Nvidia GPU to an AMD GPU

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Februar 2026 - 15:28

I'm getting an RX 9060 XT tomorrow, my current GPU is an RTX 3060 and I have the official Nvidia drivers installed I think. Do I need to uninstall my old drivers like on windows or anything else? What about my precompiled shaders from steam?

Is my game ready for the Steam Next Fest? [Demo available]

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Februar 2026 - 14:45

Hello,

We are 20 days away from the Steam Next Fest and I am in that phase where I'm looking at my Steam page and wondering if it’s actually good at all.

For those of you who like the MOBA genre, It would be great if you could give some advice or feedback about my game and my Steam page: Does it make you want to try it out?

  • The Capsule: Is the art good at all?
  • The Trailer: Is it engaging enough?
  • The Demo (Most important part), If you have the time to try (size <300mb)

Adversator on Steam:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4072270/Adversator/

I have a limited window to try to polish everything before the Fest starts.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Februar 2026 - 10:29

Hello, I have a problem with Arma Reforger Tools and Im looking for someone to give me some tips or pointers on what to try.

It mostly works, I only have a problem when I try to execute a specific function that opens up 2 popups. And then I can't click on it.

Im on EndevourOS with Hyprland, tried switching to KDE and this problem still persiststs. Also tried switching to different proton versions and it also didnt work. This software can only be obtained through Steam so I don't know what else I can try.

Can I try reporting this somewhere else?

Should I just go with stock Fedora instead of Nobara?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. Februar 2026 - 09:18

I started on Nobara (Gnome) and quickly ran into issues with my multi-monitor setup. So I switched to CachyOS and mostly I'd say it's fine but I've found a few things I actively dislike and in general it feels a little too "serious" so I want to head back to Nobara.

The thing is I'm seeing a lot of chatter on here that gaming distros are largely unnecessary.

What, if anything, do I actually need to do to get a good gaming experience with Fedora? Is it really just install Steam and off I go? I pretty much only game on Steam. Assuming that, is there anything else I'd genuinely benefit from using Nobara for?
