Hi everyone,

I recently switched from Windows to Fedora and I’m setting up my games through Lutris. My PlayStation-style controller works fine over Bluetooth (it’s detected and inputs register), but I’m struggling with remapping buttons the way I used to in DS4Windows.

What I want to do

Swap triggers and bumpers:

L2 → L1 and L1 → L2

R2 → R1 and R1 → R2

Start/Options issue: the Options/Start button doesn’t work properly for me, so I’d like to map Start/Options to the PS button.

Profiles / per-controller behavior: I want something that supports profiles (per game or per controller), so that if a friend connects their controller, it stays default (similar to how DS4Windows can manage profiles per device/user).

What I tried

Steam Input: didn’t work well for my case because I’m launching games via Lutris, and dont open

Input remapping tools: I tried one (input reader/remapper) but I couldn’t get the mapping to work the way I need (especially for triggers / swapping L1-L2 and R1-R2).

Question

What are the best options on Fedora/Linux for:

Remapping a controller at the system level (or per game),

Handling triggers/bumpers cleanly,

And keeping separate profiles per controller so guest controllers remain default?

Any recommendations Thanks!

So WoW runs like a dream on Bazzite + Faugus + GE-Proton…

…but Battle.net’s login window acts like a confused indie app: flickering, hanging, sometimes taking minutes just to let me log in.

Tried prefixes i found on the internet, turning off hardware accel, some env var magic. Only thing that fixes login is WINED3D, but then my GPU goes on vacation in-game. :/

Anyone figured out how to tame this login monster on Proton/Wayland?

I’m running Debian Unstable (sid) with an RTX 4070 Super and I’m trying to use DLSS Frame Generation on Linux via Steam Proton.

No matter what game I try, the DLSS Frame Generation option is always greyed out. I’ve tested several Proton versions including GE-Proton, but nothing changes.

My NVIDIA drivers are fully up to date, and I’m using X11

I’ve also heard from multiple places that you might need to do something with Lutris to make DLSS Frame Generation work on Linux, but I honestly don’t know what exactly that means. I’m still pretty new to Linux gaming, so I’m not sure if that’s about launch options, libraries, or a completely different setup.

So my main question is simply:
Is DLSS Frame Generation actually usable on Linux right now, or is it still basically unsupported / broken even on RTX 40-series GPUs?

REMOTE CONTROL has you send human proxies to explore a derelict spaceship, as you type out your commands and explore it all gets a bit weird and spooky.

So I need to replace my motherboard on my gaming rig and I went with the Asus TUF Gaming X870-Plus - but now that I'm looking around I can see some notes here and there about issues in Linux particularly around the WiFi card. In February 2026 is there anything outstanding that folks know about?

I am completely new to Linux and would like to use lossless scaling on star citizen. How the fuck do I activate this? I installed the Linux version, opened the gui, selected the right dll and starcitizen.exe and nothing happens.

Hi, I’m trying to figure out a camera smoothness issue in Minecraft Java Edition.

The game runs at a stable 60 FPS most of the time, but the camera movement feels slightly “stepped” or subtly granular. It’s not a major stutter or FPS drop — it just doesn’t feel fully fluid.

The camera feels like it “moves” instead of “glides”. When I make very small mouse movements, I can clearly notice that the rotation updates in tiny increments or steps. It almost feels like it slightly “teleports” to the side in small sections rather than smoothly sliding.

This causes a mild visual discomfort and feels strange to the eyes, even though performance appears stable.

This happens:

• In vanilla (no mods)
• With mods (Fabric + optimization mods)
• On both the dedicated GPU (NVIDIA MX350) and the integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe)
• At stable 60 FPS
• With VSync on and off
• With FPS limited and unlimited
• With different sensitivity settings

System details:

• OS: Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon (X11 session)
• Laptop: Acer Aspire 5 (N20C4)
• CPU: i5-1135G7
• GPU (dGPU): NVIDIA MX350
• GPU (iGPU): Intel Iris Xe
• Internal 60Hz display

It does not appear to be related to FPS drops. The FPS counter usually stays at 60, but the camera still feels slightly quantized at all times.

This is not a major stutter or lag spike — just a persistent micro “stepping” sensation in camera rotation.

Things already tested:

• Clean vanilla profile
• Switching between dedicated GPU and integrated GPU
• Different FPS caps
• VSync on/off
• No background applications running

Is this normal behavior for Minecraft Java on Linux / 60Hz / X11, or is there something specific I should investigate (raw input handling, mouse polling rate, compositor settings, frame pacing tools, etc.)?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I know there is the simagic-ff gitrepo which seems to be upstreamed to recent kernel versions, but this seems to only work with the older Alpha wheelbases, not with the Alpha Evos.

Has anyone here got those to work? I just bought them to replace an old T300RS and love them so far. They work, but without FFB, a direct drive wheel is kinda pointless.

I'd hate to have to switch to windows just so I can keep racing :'(

I have tried installing simagic-ff and I am running Fedora 43 with Kernel 6.18.6-200 at this moment.

After I switched to Linux, my Thrustmaster T300 wheel and TLCM pedals keep having occasional issues. It seems that Bazzite is the most stable distro with my setup.

The wheel is old anyway, so I thought of getting an upgrade, a DD wheel. Between Moza and PXN, which has the best compatibility with linux?

I'm split between the two because:

-PXN has USB-C connectors, which are more resilient and it's easy to find replacement cables

-Moza has the "trucking" and load cell brake upgrade, but those RJ11 connectors look flimsy and I don't know if they can be fixed with a new connector and a crimping tool

1. I have save files that are stored in the appdata folder in Windows, so I'll obviously back those up, but can Linux/Steam/Proton or whichever handles this bit, still read save files from games that were not originally made in Linux?

2. For the files I didn't back up, will Steam on Linux still grab my save files from the Steam Cloud (as they are enabled) and function still, or is it going to look for a different extension or a location that's not native to windows, etc.
