8bitdo won't connect with a bluetooth adapter

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. März 2026 - 16:47

So, I just bought a bluetooth adapter, a very cheap one tbf, but that worked perfectly on Windows. On Linux, this happens. It will simply start to connect and disconnect like crazy. It's the first time I'm trying bluetooth on Linux, so I don't if there are any tweaks for it to work. The system is OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and I just installed bluez, enabled bluetooth.service on systemctl and then tried connecting with blueman. What else should I be doing?

Cant Get Phasmophobia To Launch

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. März 2026 - 16:14

When I click the play button on Steam it goes from Play, to Cancel and then eventually it rolle right back to Play. Nothing pops up, nothing seems to open. The only on screen change is the button going from Play, Cancel and back to Play.

I've tried various Proton settings, hotfix, eperimental, newest stable, few different GE versions. And every time the same result.

I was on PikaOS and it was doing it on that. Switched to Garuda and it's still doing it. PikaOS is Debian based, Garuda is Arch based. Rather not switch to another OS so if anyone knows a fix I'd appreciate it.

Plutonium BO2 Multiplayer stuck on “Connecting to Online Service” (Fedora + Steam Proton)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. März 2026 - 13:49

trying to run Plutonium BO2 multiplayer on Fedora (GNOME) through Steam using Proton, but it keeps getting stuck on “Connecting to Online Service.”

It randomly works once every blood moon, but 99% of the time it just stays on that screen forever.

What I’ve tried:

Different Proton versions (including Proton GE)

Launch options:

DXVK_ASYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%

Disabling firewall completely

Reinstalling Plutonium

Reinstalling the game files

Zombies works consistently

Any help would be appreciated <3

CS2 gives black screen after setting graphics to medium

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. März 2026 - 13:32

I was playing CS2, and decided I wanted to bump my graphics up a little. The game proceeded to crash, and only plays audio on launch. I have reinstalled, removed settings data, and tried many launch options. I am on Fedora Linux 43 with a Nvidia GTX 1650, Ryzen 7 5700G, 32GB of RAM, and an 850W Corsair power supply.

Gaming in Linux mint is difficult

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. März 2026 - 13:02

I have tried. I really have. I keep my system updated. I install nothing "unofficial" I read manuals and i google when shit breaks. But holy fuck gaming on mint has been a shitfest for me. I usually play: Cities Skylines, Train simulators etc etc. And all this random crashing i have gives me gray hairs.

I can't figure it out. I will soon cave in and have a dedicated windows gaming rig instead.

Finally ditched the Discord's .deb installation in favour of the Flatpak. I am a free man.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. März 2026 - 12:45

I'm also aware of the option of editing discord/settings.json but I just can't be bothered to do that anymore.

How to partition storage drive?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. März 2026 - 12:34

I’m trying to add a new NVMe drive to use it as steam storage. I would also like to have a smal place on it for my other files.

How should I partition it and do I need to? What if I just add it to Steam and use it as library and then drop files there too?

Help me

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. März 2026 - 12:19

Hello, I'm looking for a good OS (not Windows), preferably free. I've tried Archcraft, Cachy OS, Garuda, BlendOS, NebiOS, Nobara, Windows 10/11, and Endvours. I'm looking for a distribution for 4-6 hours of revision for my STI2D (SIN option) technical baccalaureate, 10-12 hours of gaming, 6-8 hours of development (in Rust, Java, and other languages), and 4-6 hours of reading. I'd like your opinion on Garuda with apx and containers, using Arch for development. My desktop environment will be a fusion of Gnome and Celestial Shell, and in 1-2 years, I'll have my own desktop environment in Rust.

Steam download speed

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. März 2026 - 12:08

I'm using an MT7922 and my download speeds are normal with Firefox and apt etc. but with Steam I'm getting eight times slower speed than I should. steam -tcp doesn't work. I also tried with a different adapter, but the problem is with Steam. I tried the Ankara, Istanbul, and Frankfurt servers one by one. I tried all three versions: the one I downloaded from the web site, the one from Flatpak, and the one from the distros repositories; the result was the same.

How well is gaming on Linux in 2026?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. März 2026 - 11:43

Hi, I've been using W11 for a while now and I'm thinking of switching to Linux for a variety of reasons.

Problem is, I'm mostly a gamer, and I've heard not so good things about native game support on Linux, and how it's still growing but performance and compatibility are still major challenges.

My question is, would it still be worth it to switch to Linux? Or wait it out until it's a bit more polished? Or maybe settle in-between by making a list of games I'm interested in playing, and seeing if they're compatible on certain Linux versions?
