I’ve been working on a small post-apocalyptic RPG called Arkansas 2125

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2026 - 17:03

I’ve been working on a solo project called Arkansas 2125, a post-apocalyptic turn-based RPG inspired by classic CRPGs.

The game focuses on atmosphere, slower pacing, and tactical decision-making rather than fast action.

It’s currently in Early Access and I’m continuing to improve it step by step based on feedback.

I’m curious what people think about this kind of approach — do slower, more atmospheric RPGs still appeal today, or do most players prefer faster gameplay?

If anyone wants to check it out, it’s easy to find on Steam by searching Arkansas 2125.

I freaking LOVE distro hopping. I freaking LOVE spending 48 straight hours on my days off inside of the terminal reconfiguring everything.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2026 - 16:55

Bazzite was great, but sandboxed and locked down.

Pop-OS was GNOME but worked (uggo)

Nobaru really didn't want to fucking properly initialize my GPU, and when I tried to update it was like "lol, we working on it but here's a quick 10 commands to fix our blind spots" (didn't work)

I need help with Minecraft (SpiralLinux)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2026 - 16:34

I need help with Minecraft. I recently installed SpiralLinux on my PC, and when I launch Minecraft (version 1.16.5 Fabric with mods), the game opens, but when loading a world, it crashes and forces me to log back into my PC. It seems to be a driver issue because if I run the game with Zink (which translates the game from OpenGL to Vulkan), the game works, but at low FPS. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Recommended drivers for 5060ti?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2026 - 16:28

Hey,
I’ve recently bought rtx 5060ti.
Been a while since I followed nvidia side of Linux gaming, back then it was only proprietary drivers that worked.

Now I can see there’s proprietary drivers and nvidia-open.
Which one should I pick? If nvidia-open, then which version should it be? 570? 580? 590? 595?

I’m currently running nvidia-open-580.142, should I upgrade to 590/595?

I’m running Linux mint with kernel 6.17.0-23.
Running x11, not Wayland if that matters.

Hogwarts Legacy still using I-gpu despite choosing Dgpu ingame

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2026 - 15:54

Anyone here that experienced the same issue but solved it? Haven't found anything online about it tbh. I got the game from EG and been launching it using Heroic Launcher. My Heroic Launcher doesn't have the "Force DGPU" option or similar to that but most games I've tried were using my dgpu anyways

The games I've tried on Heroic Launcher before was Ghost of Tsushima, FF7 Remake and Rebirth and Watch_Dogs. All were using the Dgpu despite the option about forcing it literally not present. Any way to play it on Linux so I don't have to use Windows just to play a game? Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Edit:

Forgor to mention my laptop specs and OS.

Fedora 43 KDE

i5 13420H

16gb RAM

RTX 4050 6gb

Easy system wide / games input lag fix

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2026 - 15:16

If anyone is annoyed by significant input lag in the system and in games compared to Windows (in my case, CachyOS on Hyprland), try this. It took me several months to discover this. I don't notice any input latency anymore, I have VXE MAD R+ mouse with 2000hz polling rate.

This is UEFI (Gigabyte Aorus Z490I Ultra in my case). I didn't tested this on Nvidia GPU, but AMD has the same input lag without these settings changed. So you can try it on both Nvidia and AMD. Share your results in the comments and tell if it helped you pls! Picture translation:

Fast boot - Disable (just for test, I don't think it's necessary) Legacy USB support - Disable Port 60/64 Emulation - Disable XHCI Hand-off mode - Disable C-State control - Disable

(the guide isn't mine, but my friend's; he asked me to post this here)

POE2 Performance Help - Optiscaler/Lossless Scaling

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2026 - 13:44

Any tips to improving performance for POE2 on linux?

I'm certain its not a user issue, affects amd gpus more likely but not limited to and possibly related to directx12.

There is a linux port of lossless scaling (lsfg-vk) and was wondering if that would be better as a replacement or to work alongside optiscaler?

I have optiscaler installed but for poe2 it doesnt seem to offer anything meaningful for performance but I know my GPU should be performing a lot better than it does.

protondb info is poor - outdated or deprecated/obsolete env vars.

System: CachyOS niri 9800X3D CPU 9070 XT Hellhound GPU Corsair Vengeance 2x16GB RAM and is running System is fully up-to-date

I've tried different proton versions, switching between vulkan dlss and fsr etc, countless game launch options, env vars etc so really am open to all ideas

Old games render off screen

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2026 - 13:24

I've tried:

- running it full screen

- running it windowed

- enable scaling in gamescope

It's running in Wine GE 8.26 in Heroic.

The cursor is working but I can't click on anything (only highlight things then press Enter). The game on the screenshot is Dracula: The Resurrection (installed from GOG), but I've had this issue with other games too.

Hey real masterracers. If you're into idle games, me and my wife just dropped the demo for our game It's Fine.

It's a classic idle game about developing a game with your dog Joe, featuring multi prestige layers, alt endings, secrets, unique mechanics and challenges, and 0 AI used!
