Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. August 2025 - 17:13

does anyone have a decent way to use this in Linux? I'm raiding ultimates and kind of need Alisaile's mom IYKWIM. But having to use Windows is killing my soul (literally I think)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. August 2025 - 17:04

Been using Boosteroid for a while for the price, but want to change a bit. I don't wanna pay 20€ for GeForce Now, but around 10 is fine. Any recommendations?

How to get pre-installed abandonware games running with Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. August 2025 - 16:06

I've tried to get DiRT 2 working on my Linux Mint machine, but the only sources I could find for it were pre-installed, not installers, and trying to get them working with Lutris and PlayOnLinux haven't been working. I also could not find a tutorial for getting games working when they are pre-installed.

To use the same startup options as Steam, it is better to put them in the arguments or in the environment variables?

While researching, I saw that some places show to put it in variables and others to put it in arguments, I ended up getting a bit confused.

Good controllers with linux support

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. August 2025 - 15:28

My current controller is dying (xbox one pc controller). And I'm looking for its new replacement. I'm looking for a controller that works on linux, but so far I've read contradictory information for various controllers about linux compatibility.

What I'm looking for:

  • xinput type controller.
  • Works without steaminput.
  • Not too small. My hands are not enormous, but a bit large. I've read that the new xbox controllers are smaller than they used to be. Same goes for the 8bitdo (ultimate type) controllers, they seem to be on the smaller side, which I fear might be uncomfortable. The xbox one controller size and shape is great.
  • Wireless is not a necessity. I'm not against it, but it's not the most important factor.
  • I'm on Fedora (in case that matters)
  • Plug and play would be better, but not necessary.
  • Importantly, it needs to work without having to update firmware or using software via Windows. I don't have a Windows machine nor partition, and I don't want to use a VM just for that (and would rather avoid having to use Wine just for that).
  • Hall effect / TMR would be nice.

From what I've gathered: 8bitdo ultimate might be too small. New xbox controller seems a bit too small, no hall effect, and sometimes requires updates via windows, so this is not good. Not sure about the Gamesir g7 controllers: some people seem to have issues on linux and some people mention needing to use windows software, they do seem nice otherwise.

Usage: steam games, some games outside of steam, and some amateur gamedev with Godot.

Any ideas, recommendations, feedbacks?

Nvidia drivers not seeming to work for catchy os

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. August 2025 - 14:32

I recenty decided to give catchy os a try as a distro and did all of the work installing everything but i found that my nvidia driers dont seem to be working properly. It says they are installed but when i connect my diplays to my gpu instead of the motheboard i cant separate them and cant go above 60hz on them. Tried reinstalling the drivers but not working either. Wondering if there is something i could do to fix this or maybe try to reinstall the entire os?

FSR4.0.2 seems to have performance similar to 4.0.0 and significantly better than 4.0.1 on RDNA3

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. August 2025 - 14:23

I'm getting ~2.7-2.8 upscaling latency at quality level (66.7% resolution) FSR4.0.2 upscaling at 1440p with Optiscaler in No Rest for the Wicked and Expedition 33 on my 7900xt. I don't remember exactly what I got before, but based on another user's comment 960p -> 1440p on 4.0.0 used to take over 3ms, even as much as 3.5. I'm running a mesa development build (25.3) and maybe that is partly responsible for this improvement, but I think it's safe to say that we're no longer in the territory of "you have to use an older fsr4 version or risk a significant performance hit"

Gears reloaded working out the gate.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. August 2025 - 14:05

And my 3+ year saga of blindly buying games I want and then just working on Linux continues.

It seems like Windows users are having a lot of crashes though. While linking accounts seems to be broken for all it causes a game crash on Windows.

HDR does have a washed out look big going on with it but HDR is just an extra for me, I could take it or leave it

Frame rate has cap choices of 30, 60, 90, 120, 144, 240 but can be uncapped in the settings file by modifying the smooth frame rate value.

Campaign on mixed settings nets me 240nfps give or take and 300~400 in multiplayer on a 7900xtx/9950x3d rig.

There are some hitches that seem to be related to texture streaming but that's about it.

How's your guy's experience?

AMA if you have concerns about Linux on a Gaming Laptop

Linux on Gaming Laptops aren''t really popular as much as Desktops. I use high polling rate mouses and keyboard(not the keyboard in the image lol) and a graphic tablet to do work and gaming. Any questions are welcome'd.
