I built a hardware monitor widget that stays on top of Linux games — CoreX [OC]

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. März 2026 - 13:40

Hey r/linux_gaming,

Always wanted a hardware overlay for Linux that works

outside of games too — not just in Vulkan like MangoHUD.

CoreX is an always-on-top draggable widget that shows

CPU temp, GPU temp, GPU usage, RAM and network speeds

over any application including games.

Also includes a full dashboard with HWiNFO-style sensor

tree (real sensor names, not "temp1"), live charts and

Min/Max tracking per sensor.

**Tested on:**

- AMD Ryzen 5 2600 + AMD GPU (Zorin OS 18)

- Intel Core i5-8250U ThinkPad (Zorin OS 18)

**Install (Ubuntu / Zorin / Mint):**

sudo apt install lm-sensors libxcb-cursor0 python3-pip

sudo sensors-detect --auto

git clone https://github.com/Edewin/corex.git

cd corex

pip3 install PyQt6 pyqtgraph pynvml --break-system-packages

bash run.sh

**GitHub:** https://github.com/Edewin/corex

Early MVP — feedback welcome! What features would

you want to see next?

*Built with Python + PyQt6. Used AI-assisted development

(Cline + Claude Sonnet / DeepSeek via OpenRouter) to

accelerate prototyping — all architecture and product

decisions are mine. Total AI API cost: $3.*

Made a light weight terminal based GPU-Z called gpuwatch

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. März 2026 - 09:55

I built a terminal-based GPU monitoring tool for Linux, basically GPU-Z but in your terminal. It shows full hardware specs alongside live stats like utilization, temps, clocks, power draw, and VRAM usage, all updating in real time. It's OC-aware too, if your GPU is overclocked or running a custom BIOS, it shows stock specs with your actual values(and theoretical clocks) in brackets. Supports all RTX 20 through 50 series cards. Will add more support in the future.

Anime in the Terminal

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. März 2026 - 09:47

Was a big fan of ani-cli, but mpv opening on every stream when unnecessary, no English translations, and no organization or art got to me. So I borrowed some of that, made sure to scrape multiple sites with backups, and created project shizuku. If the video is not in mp4 or other terminal friendly formats, mpv opens as a backup. You can download “barrels” which are the entire season or ova collections with a single click. Anything downloaded stays in your library and won’t stream, just play from the application. Check it out at https://github.com/onyxdigitaldev/projectshizuku for screenshots and downloads.

Adding older Proton versions

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. März 2026 - 09:28

I've been wanting to start playing on Linux, and checking on proton DB the most used version of proton for games like Helldivers and Arc Raiders is Proton 10.0-3, while the latest is 10.0-4, I'm not sure if they have the same performance, but the older one seems to be more used. I've been trying to find the file for the older version to add manually but i only can find the source code, i also tried looking for it in the beta branch and from the proton installer on Nobara but nothing. Is there a way to add it or should i just play with the newer version?

OpenRazer 3.12 on Bazzite: Mouse Dock Pro (1532:00a4) showing as "Unsupported"

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. März 2026 - 09:15

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out to see if anyone else on Bazzite (Fedora Atomic) has managed to get the new Razer Mouse Dock Pro (1532:00a4) working with the recent OpenRazer 3.12 update.

My Setup: OS: Bazzite (stable) OpenRazer Version: 3.12.0-1.1 (confirmed via rpm -q openrazer-daemon) Hardware: Ryzen 5 9600X / RX 7800 XT Tools: Polychromatic / RazerGenie

The Issue: Despite having version 3.12 installed (which officially adds support for the Mouse Dock Pro), both Polychromatic and RazerGenie show the device as "Unsupported Device: 1532:00a4". Interestingly, my BlackShark V2 Pro (1532:0555) is also showing as unsupported, which suggests a broader issue with the daemon's device database or the Python library mapping on Bazzite.

What I've tried so far: Ran ujust update and ujust install-openrazer. Verified my user is in the plugdev group.

Manually loaded razeraccessory via modprobe (it loads, but doesn't seem to bind the device).

Restarted the daemon and the system multiple times. The device is visible in lsusb with the correct ID.

Is there a specific trick for Bazzite to refresh the device mapping after the 3.12 update? Or is the Python library possibly lagging behind the daemon version in the current Bazzite image?

Would love to hear if any other Mouse Dock Pro owners got it working!

Can't get Minecraft on full screen

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. März 2026 - 07:45

I would like to say I can't get games in full screen beacose that would be way less embarrassasing, but I have no idea if that issue would be with any other game. When I try to put Minecraft in full screen the entire screen goes black for about 20 seconds than it is normal for like 2 seconds than it turns black for 20s again and that happened until I restart the PC (closing Minecraft or putting it out of full screen doesn't work)

Carpenter's Toxic Commando performance degradation

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 16. März 2026 - 07:04

r9 7950x3d
5080 16gb
32gb ram
cachyOS, latest kernel with 590 nvidia drivers, latest 595 makes the game crash after a loading screen.

Everything runs smooth except after an hour or a few matches I have to restart the game, performance degradation is evident, from 150 to 30 fps with severe lag.
It's an unreal 5 game, did you manage to run this game decently? how? Thank you.
