Leaving aside the benchmark results that show better average and minimum fps in favor of Bpfland over LAVD, has anyone who uses/used LAVD noticed any improvements in terms of latency?

Install Windows version of a game even if native Linux is available

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 Dec 2025 - 2:02pm

Hey, I'm trying to play Cities Skylines (the first one) on my Debian PC. A Linux native version of the game is available, but I need the Windows version for full compatibility with some mods and easier access to the DLCs.

Is there a way to do that ?

Maximum price you'd pay for a BC-250

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 Dec 2025 - 1:26pm

Hello,

I'm searching for the cheapest option to build a living room gaming PC with Bazzite/Steam OS and like some of you here I found out about the AMD BC-250. The thing is, it was very cheap 1 or 2 months ago but now that some known youtubers talked about it the price is now at least x2. As of now, the cheapest I can buy would be 130€ (so approx $150), and I'm debating if it's worth it.

On one hand it's painful to know that it was like 70€ 2 months ago but on the other hand, even at 130 I can't find anything close in terms of performance AND size. That said it has quite a lot of small downsides like idle power, ssd speed, GDDR6, no GPU video decode/encode that combined makes it questionable.

So the question is, what would be the maximum price you'd pay for a BC-250?

CS2 on nvidia 590.48.01 on X11

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 Dec 2025 - 11:34am

I'm running CachyOS and after the most recent nvidia driver update, CS2 freezes when I alt-tab during the game.
This did not happen on the previous 580 driver; strangely the game response while holding alt-tab, but then freezes the moment I let go of the key.

Is this happening to anyone else?

UFL running but heavy lag in matches via Lutris (worked fine on Steam)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 Dec 2025 - 11:19am

Hey everyone,

I'm having some performance issues with UFL and hoping someone here might have experience with this.

I managed to get the game installed through Lutris and it launches fine, but once I'm actually in a match, I'm getting really bad lag. The weird thing is, when I tested it back in the summer through Steam, everything ran smoothly without any issues.

Does anyone here play UFL on Linux?

I'm wondering if it's a runner compatibility issue or if there's some specific configuration I need to tweak in Lutris that Steam was handling automatically.

Any help would be appreciated!

Vr ?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 Dec 2025 - 10:42am

Sorry if this has been posted recently.

How is VR performance on Linux nowadays?

I'm on Bazzite (which works great for 99% of games in my library) but my last attempt to get VR working ended poorly (couldn't launch SteamVR). I use a Q3 and play games like HLA, Beat saber, Underdogs.

I use Virtual desktop on Windows whenever I want to play VR and it's currently the only thing keeping me from wiping my Windows drive and using Bazzite exclusively.

Anyone else had luck with this?

Will my laptop have a good time on linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 Dec 2025 - 10:40am

So i bought a new laptop, it has a nvidia rtx a5000 gpu and intel i7 gen 11 and 64g ram, its a hp zbook fury g I want to install arch on it But i have the fear that i will not be able to control fan speed, battery usage and limits, and modes (balenced, etc) and finger print (optional of course) and i fear that i will not be able to run games like resident evel 7 or something like that Also i want to make sure that nvidia prime will work and i will be able to hybrid both gpus manually until they solve the problem (i heared that a organization or something is planning to solve it) So please tell me if my fears are wrong or not

Distro recs for older i7 laptop with NVIDIA NVS 4200M?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23 Dec 2025 - 10:12am

Hello all,

I got this older latitude e6520 with specs:

  • 2x4GB DDR3 RAM (maxed out)
  • i7 2620M @ 2.7Mhz
  • SATA SSD
  • GPU: NVIDIA NVS 4200M (as stated in title)

Right now it's running windows 11 okay-ish and now I am looking to switch to linux for better performance utilization (w11 feels bloated, perhaps linux is less heavy and performs better?).

Background info and questions:

  • Found this post, though OP has arch here which direction I'm not sure I'd necessarily go with (unless you think it's worth it)
  • I gotta say I don't have much experience with gpu driver hunt and install, therefore some explanation why so some explanation (pro/con) between some official driver and noveau is appreciated.
  • How come newer version of the above linked nvidia driver does not support my nvs 4200m?
  • I do have general linux know-how, so package installation and intermediate level system administration is fine.
  • Windows compatibility layer (if ever needed for games and other desktop apps) recs is also appreciated.

Thank you and have a nice day all!
