Recommended gaming mouse with multi-button support.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. November 2025 - 22:21

Hey there! I recently moved over to Linux and, sadly, my current MMO gaming mouse isn't supported (which I knew going in.) It has onboard memory, so I was able to program some common buttons I use before I made the switch, but I like being able to change them around. I know that I'm not going to get per-profile mappings, and I'm alright with that. Digging around, it seems very iffy on whether nor not any certain mouse is 'supported'. I've currently got the Corsair Scimitar Elite, and I've poked around with ckb-next, but that particular mouse isn't supported yet. Does anybody have any experience with this and can recommend me a replacement mouse?

Remote unlocking GDM for Steam streaming support

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. November 2025 - 22:17

I'm having trouble finding a good answer to this, but how do I remote unlock my gaming desktop so I can stream games to my steam deck and other devices around the house?

I don't want to leave my desktop permanently unlocked for security reasons (and for kid reasons). My computer auto-locks itself when idle for a period of time as well.

On windows I was able to use Parsec and some other host software to manage that, but I can't find a good solution for getting past the login screen so steam streaming is functional.

Browser extension to fix bad YouTube MPRIS data

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. November 2025 - 21:58

Tested on Chromium based and Firefox based browsers.

The Problem

YouTube is a Single-Page Application (SPA) that loads new videos dynamically without a full page refresh. Because of this, MPRIS often does not detect video changes and metadata updates.

Our Solution's Approach

Seeking updates MPRIS.

On first frame loaded or PlaybackState 'play' we forcibly seek to the current position.

Linux desktop build with return to gaming mode

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. November 2025 - 20:50
Hi im using my gpd win max 2 as my primary laptop for productivity and gaming.

I have tested bazzite, catchyos and nobara (desktop and handheld modes) and im looking for one that offers best of both worlds.

my checklist

-boots into desktop version WITH PASSWORD, very important for security

- has seamless return to gaming mode option, with support for all of steam os features, deckyloader etc

- has password screen at wake up from sleep (left pc for a while or just taken it back out to work on)

- if the fingerprint sensor also works amazing but not a dealbreaker (i saw the linux drivers were released for 7840u model which i have)

any suggestions? im not super tech savvy so if theres a build out there with this preconfigured that would be great.

i tried the mod with bazzite that boots into deskop mode not gaming mode, which works great HOWEVER it lacks passwords from sleep and log in

57 FPS — is this comfortable for playing on Steam Deck? We need your feedback

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. November 2025 - 20:36

Dear community,
We’re a small indie team working on Savior Syndrome: The Crimson Sun — a game inspired by Disco Elysium in both mechanics and presentation.

One of our key goals is to ensure solid Steam Deck support. Right now, we’ve managed to achieve a stable ~57 FPS without any noticeable loss in visual quality.

I’d like to ask you as players:
Is this framerate comfortable for you on Steam Deck?
Should we sacrifice some visuals and post-processing to push performance even further, or is 57 FPS already good enough for a slower, dialogue-focused game without fast-paced action?

Your experience and opinion mean a lot to us. Thank you!

3070 for living room PC - Bad Idea?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. November 2025 - 19:36

Hey all,

I found a good deal for a 3070 8gb in my area and wanted to make a living room PC for a family member of mine and wanted to install bazzite OS or something similar to have something that can be easily used with a controller. I also want to have a seperate drive for windows for pcvr, which should be fine enough with the gpu (hopefully). I originally wanted to get a 6700 or 6700xt but it made more sense to spend less for more performance.

Any issues i would run into with bazzite or linux in general with a 3070? or anything with having a seperate drive with windows that i should be aware about?

thanks.

Arch laptop connected to Windows desktop via Steam Link. Possible to play games with anti-cheat?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. November 2025 - 19:25

I keep my Windows desktop at my brothers due to the lack of space in my studio and just use my laptop running Arch as my daily driver. My friends have asked if I can play Apex Legends with them again and mentioned Steam Link as a possibly solution, but will it work?

I might set up Steam Link anyways, want to play Skyrim and Witcher 3.

Dual Boot Windows for gaming

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. November 2025 - 18:59

Ok folks I just installed Bazzite OS as my primary system. Got everything running and then found out I cannot run Fortnite due to kernel anti cheat. Before you hate on me, I play Fortnite with the family it’s our thing. Everything else I plan to run on Bazzite.

So is it feasible to setup a partition on my ssd and run a windows 10 system just for Fortnite? If so can anyone recommend some instructions? I don’t want to mess anything up and literally just need this partition big enough to run Fortnite with the family but everything else will be based on Bazzite.

Best launch options for performance?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27. November 2025 - 18:46

I'm always willing to improve performance as competitive player. So when I play Deadlock I have these launch options:

gamescope -w 1920 -h 1440 -f -S stretch -r 300.0 --force-grab-cursor --adaptive-sync --immediate-flips --mangoapp -- gamemoderun %command% +fps_max 0 +exec autoexec.cfg

And when I play single games, like Oblivion Remastered:

LSFG_PROCESS=Oblivion %command% gamemoderun %command%

And when I play anything.. I use:
gamemoderun %command%

But I'm not really sure if I'm using 100% of performance I can use.. If someone have different and cool launch options, I'd appreciate you if you will share it with community, because right now this topic isn't standardized. If you open ProtonDB - you will see a lot of different launch options from everyone, for example:

game-performance %command%

PROTON_FSR4_RDNA3_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 OBS_VKCAPTURE=1 gamemoderun gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -r 240 -f --hdr-enabled --force-grab-cursor -- %command%

WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=8:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 taskset -c 0-7 gamemoderun PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 PROTON_MEDIA_USE_GST=1 %command% -dx12

So, if anybody can provide good info or links, I'd really appreciate you!
