What is the best alternative to Free Pie and VJoy for Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. März 2026 - 01:41

I use these two programs to emulate a steering wheel and pedals with KBM in Assetto Corsa. The nice thing about this Python script is that it makes the steering wheel (mouse) less sensitive in the center and more sensitive at the edges

So I was thinking of switching from bazzite

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. März 2026 - 01:21

Pretty much the title but I was wanting some feedback from the community. I use bazzite on pc in just desktop mode, no game mode, but ive noticed some stuttering every once in awhile and ive been looking at cachy and nobara.

I've heard more about cachy and it looks like it might be optimized a little better all around.

I like the atomic structure with btrfs but at the same time editing ostree for many cli packages is annoying. I also like the ujust updater and the whole cli program really. Does cachy or nobara have something similar or are they more in line with what you'd expect from linux?

PS5 controller rumble in Monster Hunter Wilds

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 03. März 2026 - 00:17

Hey everyone,

I’m running MH Wilds on CachyOS (KDE Plasma) using Proton Experimental. My PS5 DualSense controller works great for everything except vibration/rumble in Monster Hunter Wilds. Haptic triggers work (like the tension when zooming the map), but there’s no vibration when attacking, getting hit, etc.

What I’ve tried: - Rumble is enabled in both Steam and in-game settings - Steam Input must be enabled for the controller to work at all - hid-playstation module is running and up to date - Steam controller tester rumble works - Rumble works perfectly in other games (Elden Ring, etc.) on the same setup

It really seems to be just MH Wilds that isn’t sending vibration, though the rest of the controller features and mappings work. Has anyone else run into this, or found a workaround?

Thanks in advance

Playing Windows installed games on Linux.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. März 2026 - 22:25

So neither Gemini nor a Google search gave me an Answer I can work with so im asking you guys.

I was interested in trying out to switch to Linux (probably Pop OS), gaming is the main usecase for me and I only have limited Storage space. I was asking myself if steam on Linux can also start games which I have downloaded and installed via windows, when I eventually set up dual boot to start with.

sorry for the probably dumb question.

[Release] X3D Toggle v1.2.0 - A Linux graphical utility and automated daemon for Ryzen 7950X3D / 9950X3D thread scheduling

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. März 2026 - 22:10

Hiya everyone!

I’ve just released a major rewrite (v1.2.0) for my CPU scheduler utility, X3D Toggle based on user feedback and planned roadmap.

If you run an asymmetrical dual-CCD processor (like the 7950X3D or 9950X3D) on Linux, you probably already know that the standard amd-x3d-vcache kernel driver and CPPC hints don't always do a perfect job of routing threads. Sometimes games get stuck on the frequency cores, causing micro-stutters, or heavy encode/compute workloads end up parked on the V-Cache CCD, bottlenecking their absolute performance.

This utility brings feature parity from the physical Windows driver directly to Linux, allowing you to instantly swap your CCD priority (Rabbit/Gaming vs. Cheetah/Compute) on the fly, either manually via a GUI/CLI or through a completely automated background daemon.

What it does:
  • The Automated Daemon: Runs a hyper-lightweight systemd background loop that analyzes live workloads. It dynamically hooks into Steam execution lines and metadata classifications to route gaming threads natively to the 3D V-Cache (CCD0) exactly when they launch. When a heavy rendering/compute spike drops, it dynamically offloads those to the frequency cores (CCD1).
  • The Interface: Provides a lightweight standard kdialog UI wrapper (or explicit terminal CLI commands) so you can physically override the daemon immediately whenever you need raw frequency or pure cache caching without dropping out of your desktop environment.
  • The Backend (Major rewrite in v1.2.0): I ripped out all the old bash logic and rewrote the hardware polling completely in C. Interactions with the /sys/devices/platform/AMDI*/amd_x3d_mode kernel nodes are now natively handled by lightning-fast sysfs writes, dropping the CPU polling overhead to functionally zero. I also upgraded entirely to modern JS-based PolicyKit rules.
Packaging & Compatibility
  • Arch Distros / Garuda: Completely integrated natively out of the box via AUR protocols (makepkg -si) or the pre-compiled releases.
  • Other Distros: Completely compatible via standard make and sudo make install.

It is completely open-sourced.

You can check out the repository, documentation, and the new v1.2.0 GitHub release here:
[GitHub - Pyrotiger/x3d-toggle](vscode-file://vscode-app/opt/visual-studio-code/resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-browser/workbench/workbench.html)

Here's a hint, this v.1.2.0 build now has an easter egg, bon appetit!

CS2 Native Client Runs very poorly compared to running via proton GE.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. März 2026 - 21:47

Hello all, I'm having major issues with CS2's native linux client peformance. FPS will sometimes be normal 300+ - but most of the time will unstable between 50 to 100.

Mouse is very stuttery and feels sluggish, FPS improves when spectating but still unstable.

I've tried running the game via proton GE - latest version - and to my surprise runs as it should 300+ FPS mouse feels great etc etc. However VAC does not work in CS2 running via proton.

Anyone else have a similar experience or know of any fixes? - Tried a bunch of launch commands but nothing seems to make any difference.

Proton GE: 360FPS

Native client: 143FPS

Operating System: Fedora Linux 43

KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.1

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.23.0

Qt Version: 6.10.2

Kernel Version: 6.18.13-200.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core Processor

Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.3 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT (16GB)

Tried stable MESA drivers that ship with fedora - currently on lastest version 26.x

EDIT RUNNING THE GAME VIA PROTON 3.0 (Sniper) - works with VAC! - perf is not near what it should be but mouse stutters are gone!

Minecraft Legacy Console Edition got leaked and works really well on Linux!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. März 2026 - 21:04

not too long ago someone gave people source code for Minecraft LCE, a console port from 4J Studios. I wanted to test it out, and it runs, and works pretty good with Wine and DXVK on my NixOS
only saves, including settings is not working at this moment, but maybe it'll be fixed soon

New to PC gaming (and LINUX gaming compatibility)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. März 2026 - 20:15

I recently got my first gaming PC, and one of my first thoughts was making it also the first time to use LINUX (because I don't trust Windows and hate Microslop). But when I looked online about whether I can play all the games I am currently (or willing) playing on LINUX, I saw that many games aren't compatible (e.g. fortnite). This makes me wonder, are there any workarounds to compatibility problems with games like fortnite? And also, which versions for LINUX are best for gaming?

Just as random sidefacts that could make some answers easier, here are games I am currently playing or willing to start playing in the future:
Hearts of iron 4, Geometry dash, Fortnite, Rocket League, Minecraft, Counter-strike, and fnaf 1-7.

I will thank you guys in advance.

EDIT: I sometimes play empire earth III, but it keeps crashing sometimes, though that game isn't as important to me as the other ones.
