The Fedora Linux 44 Release is Here!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. April 2026 - 18:53

NTSYNC is now enabled automatically on installation of WINE or Steam.

Nvidia 595 drivers are now available, easily installed by pressing the button to enable third party repositories and downloading them in Discover or GNOME Software. No command line necessary!

This will be the foundation for future releases of Bazzite and Nobara.

tty or sdl?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. April 2026 - 18:47

Hi everyone! What is the difference between gaming in a DRM TTY (standalone) versus using Hyprland with SDL? When using Gamescope in a TTY, it feels incredibly fast, but in Hyprland with SDL, it feels much smoother. Why is that?

Problems launching games

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. April 2026 - 18:41

Hello everyone. When I try to launch games on Steam, they just instantly close. I've been looking online and haven't found a fix yet, so thought I'd ask here. Here's a video that shows what happens. I'm a newbie on Linux, so excuse my tech illiteracy. Many thanks in advance! :)

WTF is going with Nvidia drivers on Linux Mint / Ubuntu ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. April 2026 - 18:22

Hello,

I just installed the latest NVIDIA driver updates, which apparently just became available for Linux Mint (Ubuntu 24.04), Out of curiosity, I checked Steam to see if this had caused any issues, and obviously, since I’m posting this, it has—because now Steam launches with llvmpipe and no longer uses my graphics card. I found the cause: the “libnvidia-gl-595:i386” dependency is missing and isn’t present in the repositories... Is this normal? I’m thinking of reverting to older driver versions for now, but I don’t remember having this problem when I upgraded from 580 to 590...

What do you think Valve's waiting to reveal the price of the Steam Machine?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. April 2026 - 18:05

At first I thought that they didn't reveal the price because of the RAM and hardware crisis, this caused delays, they didn't know the release date and they wanted to reveal the release date and price at the same time. But the fact that they already took so long to reveal a price, it will already affect the release of the Steam Machine, no matter the price of the Steam Machine people will complain due to the time they took announcing a price, so, what does Valve is waiting to reveal a price?

Mass Effect Legendary Edition - Only sound no game

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. April 2026 - 17:05

So, I've brought the Steam version of Mass Effect Legendary Edition. It works just fine, I don't have any problems with the EA APP, to the point where I need to choose which game I want to play.

It doesn't matter which game I choose, it begins to lunch but then vanishes. Now, the strange part is that I still can hear the menu music from the different games. Steam also tells me it is still running, and I can still hear the menu music from it, but I can't find it.

I use Pop_OS Cosmic.

Any alternatives to the Soundpad?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. April 2026 - 16:50

I recently switched to Linux (cachyos), and I wanted to know if there's anything equivalent to SoundPad.

I tried Soundux but didn't like it much; it crashes quite frequently, and last night it made my Discord sound stop working. I even had to ask Claude Code to fix it for me.

Will the new Steam Controller work on linux as a generic gamepad outside steam?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. April 2026 - 16:33

I play games on many launchers, not just steam. I wanted to know if the new steam controller will have gamepad support outside steam? I don't mind if it doesn't have gyro and the extra features outside steam, just that it works as a generic gamepad.

Reviews from GamersNexus and Skillup indicate it doesn't work as a generic gamepad on windows, but I thought that linux had a kernel module or sdl or something to get it to work?

I haven't seen any videos on linux support of the new steam controller, which i think is ironic

How do I get xbox one controller to work wirelessly?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 28. April 2026 - 15:19
user@pc:~$ lsusb | grep Microsoft Bus 003 Device 005: ID 045e:02fe Microsoft Corp. Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows

How do I get this controller to work wirelessly on Fedora 43 KDE Plasma? It works when connected via USB-C cable, but not with the Microsoft dongle.

I tried installing this and I think it was successful:

user@pc:/lib/firmware$ ls -l | grep xone -rw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 70008 Mar 10 2017 xone_dongle_02e6.bin -rw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 73520 May 30 2017 xone_dongle_02f9.bin -rw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 70620 Jul 14 2017 xone_dongle_02fe.bin -rw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 74708 Aug 1 2016 xone_dongle_091e.bin

but even after reboot when I go to Settings > Game Controllers, I don't see my xbox controller in there. I read somewhere that you need to update its firmware to the latest version from Windows so I did that but it didn't help.
