Upscaling games on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. April 2026 - 07:05

Is there an alternative to Lossless Scaling for Linux, specifically regarding upscaling filters (xBR, nearest neighbor, etc.)? I don't care about DLSS, FSR, etc. - just the filters.

I've tried gamescope but it's quite buggy and a major pain in the ass.

Budget Controller Recommendation for Fedora/Linux Gaming (India - Under ₹3000/35$)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. April 2026 - 06:27

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on a controller setup for my laptop. Here are my specs: Laptop: Asus TUF A15 (Ryzen 7 7435HS, RTX 3050) OS: Fedora Workstation (GNOME) Usage: Playing non-Steam games (added via Proton) on an Android TV via HDMI. I have poor eyesight, so I want to play from a distance by connecting my laptop to the TV. Since I'm on a budget (max $35 / approx. ₹3000 in India), I need something reliable that works well with Linux. I’m currently looking at the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless. Will this work flawlessly with Fedora/Steam, or is there a better option available in India, like the EvoFox Elite X2? I’d appreciate any help or alternative suggestions that fit my budget and OS. Thanks!

(Don't be racist please as I'm from India)

(I'm only a curious 16 year old)

Control Beitong KP 40 elite se detecta como control de Nintendo Switch.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. April 2026 - 06:00

Acabo de comprar el control Beitong KP 40 elite, y funciona bien, excepto que Linux Mint lo detecta como control de Switch, lo que hace que los botones estén invertidos, y no consigo cambiarlos.

Juego mayormente en Lutris juegos descargados de gog, y muy poco en steam.

¿Hay alguna forma de arreglar esto?

Linux causes my SonyTV to crash

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. April 2026 - 04:52

Hi All,

I have this odd issue where my PC tends to crash my TV's software (TV reboots). It only started happening since I switched to Linux. I have a feeling it has something to do with the HDMI signal. I purchased really high quality cables to rule cables out as an issue, but it seems to persist no matter what cable I use.

I have a Nvidia 4070S as a GPU connected to my Sony X950H tv. I have used Bazzite and currently using CachyOS as the operating systems (both the same issue). The issue also seems to persist between DE's as I used Plasma, COSMIC and currently Hyprland.

Anyone else with this issue or any suggestions how to create a more stable signal between my PC and TV?

Thanks!

Dark Souls II: SotFS + Steamtinkerlaunch + Flawless Widescreen - *this* close to working

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25. April 2026 - 03:58

Hi all, Apologies in advance for the wall of text.

I am trying to get Dark Souls II: SotFS running with Flawless Widescreen so it can run in 3440x1440. I am on CachyOS. I used ProtonPlus to install Steamtinkerlaunch, then changed the Compatibility Options on Dark Souls II in Steam to point to Steamtinkerlaunch instead of Proton. Launching Dark Souls II brings up the Steamtinkerlaunch window. I go into Game Menu, turn on Use FlawlessWidescreen, make sure my Proton version is set, then click Save and Play. So far, so good.
But what's happening is Dark Souls II is launching, then Flawless Widescreen launches about 3 seconds later. When I was using Windows, I would launch FW initially, enable the fix, then launch DS2 and it would work. While I can select and load the plugin, I can't enable the fix because it detects the game is already running. There doesn't seem to be any option to make DS2 wait for FW and not sure if that is normal behavior. I do see that I can run a custom command, I know where the FW.exe is, and there is an option to set a number of seconds after running the custom command to then run the game, but tried that and it did not work. I think due to this piece of info I found, where it states: "game architecture determination to launch the correct fws exe". Not entirely sure if that means as I only know of the one FW.exe. Double-clicking on the FW.exe bring up ProtonTricks, which when pointed to DS2, does nothing. If I right click on FW.exe, I can choose to launch it in Wine and it does launch, lets me enable the fix, but when I launch DS2 (with Compatibility now set back to Proton), it does nothing. (I know it has something to do with separate prefixes.)

So long story short, I'm this close to getting it to work and not really sure what to try next. Any ideas? And TIA!
