Hi r/linux_gaming!

I'm the dev behind Austraoxe. I posted a screenshot yesterday, but I wanted to show the actual 3D environment for the main menu.

Important Note: There is no UI yet (buttons/text). I am just showcasing the geometry and the lighting mood.

Since my daily driver is Ubuntu, I'm building this natively in Unreal Engine for Linux from day one. No DirectX wrappers here—this is pure Vulkan. Let me know what you think of the aesthetic!

Hello everyone!

I have the following laptop:

Ryzer 5 6600

RTX 3050Ti 4GB

RAM 16GB

I'm thinking to change Windows on my laptop because twice after windows update, windows became corrupted and puts me on a bit locker recovery loop and i lost a lot of docs etc.

So i want any advice that can help me! Which distro should to choose for gaming? (LoL, HS) I read about the LoL that cuz of vanguard its not support on linux, its not a real problem for me tbh so i',m ok with that!

But i dont know the difference between distros!

Mint? Nobara? Bazzite? Pop!_OS? Manjaro?

I know Mint is more close to windows, but it will be enough or shoud go to another distro?

Thank you!

I've recently installed guli kit joysticks and they need to be calibrated, is there a way to do so? I've tried using thumstick_cal but it doesn't seem to work, I've also looked at evdev calibration tool but couldn't see anybody try it on Arch

Is there anyone that is playing Overwatch 2 without issues right now?

I have been trying for weeks now and I cant get anything working properly. I am trying to run Arma 3 but it is laggy and sometimes crashes. Games dont work if I use another monitor. I want to use skydive for drone sim, but it cant detect my controller unless its already plugged in. It has deadzones and throttle starts from the middle. I have 8 hours of time on these games but I havent got to playing yet. The issue should be somewhere in steam or games themselves, bc I have the correct drivers and popOS should work decently with nvidia.

I used all the options websites, forums, tutorials, AI but I still cant figure it out.

Valve just launched their latest upgrade for Proton Experimental to get as many Windows games as possible running on Linux / SteamOS.

A new season of Overwatch 2 starts today, which comes via an update. I booted it up (on GE-Proton10-21, on Fedora 42, on an AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT), went into the battle pass, clicked on something, and it crashed.

Started up, did it again, it crashed again. Switched to GE-Proton10-26, cleared out the cached data in compatdata and shadercache, started up - and it crashed on startup. Switched back to GE-Proton10-21, and it crashed on startup again! I've tried with and without gamemoderun, both versions of Proton-GE, after a reboot and software update, and it consistently crashes on boot.

Anyone else getting this?

Any thoughts on what i could try?

Why is it that every single time I install an application, it stops my all of my controllers (Xbox 360, PS4 and Xbox Series controller) working in Steam games? What am I doing wrong?

This has happened with OpenRGB, now it's happened after installing Davinci Resolve (I already uninstalled OpenRGB a while ago so that's no longer the problem.) I have no intention of uninstalling Resolve after fighting to get it to install on my system in the first place.

It's so frustrating, I don't want to have to use 2 completely separate OS installs to avoid conflicts between completely unrelated applications.

FYI I'm running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, but this issue has also occured on Bazzite 42 and Ubuntu 24.10 in the past.

I've tried updating the system, trying different proton versions and trying different drivers but none have yielded any changes.

Specs:

Kernel: 6.14.0-36-generic

CPU: Intel Xeon CPU E5-2689

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070

How do I get it to appear in game settings on CachyOs?

I’ve only had this PC for two or three months (AMD Ryzen 7 7700 CPU and 9070 XT GPU), and Windows has been a real headache. Between AI features, AMD drivers, and Windows updates, it just keeps getting worse. I’ve heard that the new Windows update fixes the issue with AMD cards, but if it doesn’t work, I’ll most likely switch to Linux. And here’s my question.

I’m completely clueless when it comes to using Linux I’ve never used it beyond the times I’ve put my Steam Deck into desktop mode. I mainly use my PC for gaming, and I rely heavily on mods for the games I play, with MO2 being the mod manager I use the most, as well as various Bethesda games like Fallout. I know there are ways to make it compatible with Wine. Is it difficult? Can you really use almost all mods to play your games?

(First post ever on reddit, ahoy)

Hello, I joined the Bazzite rush today and it is really exciting! SO I of course jumped right into it.

I am using LACT to cap power usage of my 3080 to 250w. I ran Helldivers 2 with default graphics settings.

Without jumping into a planet, 2 minutes later roughly, these were the thermals that I got.

This can't be normal, can it?

So I know, as an game dev or graphics programmer, I can just use Vulkan and call it a day, making sure the “magic” of the Linux kernel will get my command buffers to the GPU. However, recently I have read some articles and become a bit more curious what are the mechanisms that interface between a Vulkan application and the hardware itself. I’ve heard about this “big thing” called Mesa that I still don’t know what it does (there’s a lot of mention of it in Alyssa Rosenzweig’s blogs about implementing Vulkan on the M1/M2 chips, sad she didn’t stay around for M3+), and, reading this article, there’s RADV which is the UMD, amdgpu which is the KMD, and some other things mentioned.

So, my question is, how all of it works? Starting from Vulkan, what “gets” the payload and pass to the lower layers, who communicates with the hardware etc, and how that changes in the Nvidia side (I know there’s their proprietary blob, and Nouveau), and maybe on the Intel ARC side? It’s really interesting that there’s a whole layer cake of software below Vulkan (that is supposed to be a thin-driver library), and I want to understand what are their roles and motivation about it. Thank you already!

It only happens on a few select games, but when I play a game through steam the game's window will have a black bar at the top. Here is an example from launcher of the game "Genshin Impact", which I run through steam (I have downloaded the installer from their official website, then ran it through steam with proton, then in steam set the correct path to the launcher).
Note that this also happen with games from steam, not only games not from steam but launched with steam.

The black bar at the top also affects the cursor clicks. If the black bar is 30px high, then when I click, it will click 30px below my cursor position.

I have tried to find information on this online, but i only find tangentially related stuff, not my specific problem, except for one forum post which did not have a solution.

In the case of the launcher, it's not much of an issue since the black bar doesn't happen once i am in the game. But it's also happening on a few other games now, on which it is a problem so I would like to fix it.

Any idea how to fix this?

(Note: this is on arch linux, hyprland).
