Hello everyone!

So I've been struggling with getting Palworld to launch on my dedicated Nvidia RTX 3060 but seems to not see it no matter what commands I give it.

All drivers and updates are current, tried downgrading drivers still nothing, im in performance mode and all other games see and use Dedicated.

World of Warcraft crash in raids

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. März 2026 - 20:00

I don't have any logs because after the raid I put ltsc on my PC but it's bugging me as to why it's happening.

it never happens in keys, only raids. it has a similar feeling to the video driver locking up in windows. yesterday it froze during a boss and after about 5 seconds audio came back but no video. when it happened last night I had old school RuneScape running on another monitor and discord.

running kde, it's happened on both vanilla arch and last night I tried it on cachy. 7900xt. 13600kf. running through faugus with latest proton GE.

For a bit now steam has been acting weirdly for me (Stutters and flickering in the UI) im on wayland and don't plan to switch unless nessecery since for some reason many things don't work for me or work very poorly on x11. Has anyone had the same problem and if so is there a solution?

Best bluetooth controller

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. März 2026 - 19:01

Hi there,

do you guys have some recommendations for a solid bluetooth controller that works out of the box on linux?

I just wanna use them for some casual gaming - nothing special is needed.

Thanks!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. März 2026 - 18:54

My distro is 24.04, the microphone is built into the laptop, my microphone picks up every sound and makes me too loud, I tried reducing the amplifier, but nothing helped, still a piercing sound

I've been having this obnoxious issue with xfinity router and maybe someone can explain it to me like I'm 5 please.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. März 2026 - 18:32

I've had issues with finding other computers through specific apps or programs like minecraft or through different containers on docker. Right now I'm trying to set up a steam link between my pi4 and my main computer. Both on linux. I cant seem to ever find a straight anwser but whenever i find my ip addresses for ssh or anything its always 10.0.0.xxx but i know thats obviously not my actual ip. But idk is it a CGNAT or just something im not understanding and why is it my computer (wired into my router) and my pi (on 5g) cant find eachother but when i use a code to connect them i get a warning of slow connection as if its connecting outside my network and back in? Please help me

Skallierungs Problem bei WoW auf Fedora

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. März 2026 - 18:29

Servus liebe Gemeinde,

Ich hab ein Problem und zwar spielt meine Skalierung von World of Warcraft mal wieder verrückt. In WoW selber ist dadurch auf meiner Auflösung alles ziemlich groß, klar könnte ich die Skalierung auch selber einstellen aber ich will das es so funktioniert.

Benutzen tue ich den Faugus Launcher mit dem ich eigentlich ganz zufrieden bin.

Das Problem besteht mit jeder Proton Version: GE Proton sowie Proton EM, selbst mit UMU Proton.

Meine Linux Distro ist Fedora.

Kann mir jemand bezüglich meines Problems einen Tipp geben was ich dagegen tun kann?

Stray suddenly needs D3D11 compatible gpu even though it's present?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. März 2026 - 17:57

My work and travel laptop, a Getac V110 runs the latest Fedora distro, and I always liked to play Stray on it. Today I reinstalled the game because I'll soon have an 8hr flight. Now the game tells me I need a D3D11 compatible GPU. the laptop has an i5-4300U with HD Graphics 4400 which is listed as being compatible with DirectX 11. What gives? I tried a bunch of Proton versions but none seem to work. Other games start fine.

PSA: infinity macro pedals work with input-remapper

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. März 2026 - 16:54

I didn't know exactly where to post this, but I wanted to share it somewhere so people searching can find it. If you're looking for a way to get an "Infinity IN-USB-2 USB Digital Foot Control Pedal" working on Linux, you can use https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper (it's in the Fedora repos).

I saw bunch of posts in other places about people jumping through all kinds of hoops to get them working, so I just decided to see if it'd show up in Input Remapper. And it does!

I personally use it for WoW, but you could use it for whatever you want. You can map controller/keyboard/mouse inputs to it. I think some speedrunners use them for their timers, or video editors use them for stuff too. These pedals are all over the place, used cheap as dirt, and made pretty well. I got mine for $5 USD on eBay lol.

Swapping ssds?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. März 2026 - 16:38

I have tried dual booting on the same ssd between windows and various linux distros. However some problems with gaming has always popped up in weird ways. So as my gaming laptop has one m.2 drive; I have a secondary form a defunct previous laptop that I am thinking of swapping out and using instead. I worry about the connectors so I am asking the hive mind is this an ok idea?

Need some help getting my pc up and running (Bazzite)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. März 2026 - 16:28

Hey all! I recently bought my first gaming pc second hand, and have naturally encountered some problems.

The most concerning one is that my pc will randomly crash (Screen shuts off and fans go full blast until I turn the system off). What do i have to check for here?

Second of wifi is terribly slow. Was told that I needed to update the drivers, but cant seem to find a good tutorial for linux on YouTube... Bazzite seemingly downloaded some, but its slow as can possibly be. The adapter is an asus PCE-AC56

This is what im working with:

https://preview.redd.it/u6afy10sv7qg1.png?width=626&format=png&auto=webp&s=3e31d77fe3331153c23439557b2a919ce4022372

The system came without memory, and since im on a budget this comes from an ssd that i ripped out of my hp probook laptop, think its a 256GB (WDC PC SN520 SDAPNUW-256G-1006)

Im new to both the platform and the os, and find it frustratingly difficult to find info online these days, so any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Installed Steam as flatpack - where do I find "files saved to desktop"?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20. März 2026 - 16:22

Hey everyone,

I am fairly new to using linux for gaming (and as a desktop OS). I recently started playing a game that has nice animated GIFs of your own solutions (Opus Magnum), though those are "saved to my desktop". There are no files on my desktop, and I have no idea where I can find them. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
