Discord Patch Notes: May 4, 2026

Linux specific patch notes

  • Are you a Linux user? If so, are you sick of that lovely modal we made to tell you that there’s an update you need to go manually install? IF SO, boy do I have good news for you. We’ve ported our Rust-based updater to Linux, allowing Linux to update itself just like on Windows. Additionally, we now support .rpm and .pkg.tar.zst package formats for installation.
  • Fixed a bug on Desktop where the window control buttons in the title bar had extra padding on the right on Linux. Our second monthly Linux fix; good job team.

Single GPU pass through on KVM not working on Cachy-OS but was working on EndeavourOS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2026 - 09:24

May not belong to this sub but I didn't get much help on the VFIO sub so I'm posting it here. I was successful in setting up single GPU pass through on EndeavourOS. I am using a GTX 1650 Super with Nvidia 595.58.03 drivers.

I have switched to CachyOS recently and I cannot get it working here. I am using the same setup and scripts as before but it doesn't work here. Whenever I try to boot, my GPU detaches from the host but does not bind with the VM and hence I get a black screen. I couldn't figure out a lot from the logs as they were quite similar from the ones I had on Endeavour OS.

My setup: Libvirt + KVM, windows 10 ISO and this script.

Is it something to do with the Cachy-OS kernel? It had worked flawlessly on Endeavour OS.

I am building a native Linux mod manager for Steam games (early alpha) — LSMM

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2026 - 09:17

Hi everyone,

Frustrated with running MO2/Vortex through Wine, I am building a native Python/GTK4 mod manager for Steam games on Linux.

It currently supports:

- Bethesda games (Starfield, Skyrim SE, Fallout 4) via Proton/SFSE

- BepInEx games (Planet Crafter, Craftopia)

- Stardew Valley (with SMAPI auto-install), RimWorld, 7 Days to Die

- NXM link import + Nexus Mods update checks

- Drag & drop load order, mod profiles, clean uninstall tracking

Still early alpha. Rough edges exist.

GitHub: https://github.com/pyromeister/Linux-Steam-ModManager

I added a wiki and if there is any requests you can add them, i am trying to build the systen in the final state even with steam deck support (so i can play modded games there too 😄).

I am open for any Feedback and/or contributions, especially if you want a new game added!

Thank you

What did you stop doing to make Linux gaming boring in the good way?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2026 - 09:07

For me it was chasing every tweak and turning the machine into a hobby project.

Fewer extra layers, snapshots before bigger changes, and waiting a bit on major updates has been way calmer than trying every shiny fix.

Genuinely curious what habit you dropped that made your setup more stable.

Arch or Bazzite for my usage

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2026 - 06:12

Currently I am trying to decide on whether I want to use Arch or Bazzite for my current PC setup.

I have a Nvida 5060 8gb gpu with 16gb of ram and a intel i5-14400F
Performace isn't really a big deal to me, but from what I've heard; Nvidia is horrible with supplying GPU drivers for linux, and I really want a SteamOS like desktop environment (I know It's KDE-Plasma) and I have installed arch before for a school laptop.

I've also seen that Bazzite is very intuitive with installing drivers for everything, but I don't know if I can install everything arch can on bazzite, because on my steam deck that I used for a while, I couldn't install everything that arch could through the command line. I still to this day do not know why, but I got around it with some help but it still sometimes won't work.

I also am unsure if I even should switch from windows to linux because these are the games I would have a bit of trouble running:
- Rust (I can only the dead linux servers)

- VRChat (Mixxed results on my steam deck)

- Beat saber (I own it through the meta store so I have it on stand alone and pc and I can't install the meta link software on my steam deck)

Everything else I play I've played on my steam deck and I know would run just fine, but it's just that windows eats 8gb of ram and I have lots of ram issues when playing on my system.
Please help!!

Why can Bottles/Lutris upscale low resolution games to fit the desktop just fine but Wine itself cannot?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. Mai 2026 - 04:55

I know Bottles and Lutris are a lot easier and far more hassle free to setup, but I'm also trying to get Wine to upscale older games to to the monitor like Bottles/Lutris seems to be able to do flawlessly.

I'm using a wayland session, under an X11 session Wine upscales games to fit the monitor pretty perfect, but under Wayland they end up as a tiny window in the top left corner of the screen.

I've tried enabling the Wine Wayland driver, but this just makes it into a bigger window that fills only half of the screen.

Games using DXVK upscale pretty perfectly too, but there are many games that are too old to use Directx 8/9/10/11, so they cannot be upscaled.

Virtual Desktop does not work, this just makes it into a tiny window that I can drag around which is better but it's not the fullscreen I am after.

So what the heck does Bottles/Lutris do that enables them to go fullscreen on any desktop and how can I make this work in stock Wine?

Bottles/Lutris are not using Gamescope as I don't have that installed, so how are they doing it? I've also confirmed that Bottles/Lutris are using X11/Xwayland, which stock Wine also uses, so they are not using the Wayland driver.

I'd really love to know what trick they are using so I can replicate this in stock Wine and get proper fullscreen support from it.
