How do I enable RPC in Vesktop (installed from aur)?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20 Jan 2026 - 1:46am

I have my rich presence enabled in vesktop settings, but none of the games or apps I open seem to have any effect. I also can't find any menu in the settings for manually adding games.

Steam and WOW Gaming

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20 Jan 2026 - 1:37am

I've been wanting to switch to Linux for years, always finding an excuse to stay on Windows, but after tonight when my 'deactivated' Windows Updates, installed the KB507419 patch, causing my system to be unresolvable without a full reinstall I rage switched to Linux Mint.

Any tips for a Linux Noob for Steam and WOW gaming?

Hello,
I'm on Nobara 43 and I am experiencing problems with VR on linux.
My problem is that the games run well, but the helmet and controllers are laggy. Like it's not smooth at all, so playing games is hard. The issue is with both ALVR and WiVRn

Getting slight but noticeable input lag (CachyOS, KDE X11)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20 Jan 2026 - 12:20am

I play competitive fps games, and I am still getting slight input lag to my mouse movements and keypresses, although I have stable 700fps in my main game. I have RTX 5050 GPU. I’ve disabled vsync from NVIDIA control panel, disabled compositor, tried different versions of Proton, tried both game-performance and gamemode. Still getting the input lag.

Any ideas on what to try next? All ideas are appreciated as I feel a bit lost atm!

UNOFFICIAL *NIX LAUNCHER FOR MINECRAFT

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 20 Jan 2026 - 12:08am

I used the minecraft bedrock launcher I found on Discovery. I own both java and bedrock but I'm trying to make it work for bedrock. I already managed to make it work for java but this message keeps popping up after I press play in the bedrock launcher. Should I authorize this? I checked videos and this doesn't show up for others. So I assume it has something to do with java, maybe. I used prism launcher for java. Thank you!

Easier than I thought

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Jan 2026 - 11:26pm

To anyone considering moving to Linux but worried about game support and having an Nvidia GPU fear not. I too had these worrys a short time ago. Even did a bit of distro hopping. And most supported my 50 series GPU right outa the box and if the distro didn't it took less than 5 minutes to install the correct drivers. I've been off and on for Linux for a few years now. But never on my main gaming PC. Till now. Also you don't have to have a "gaming distro" to play games any distro will most likely work right out of the box. I'm a lifer now. And thanks to all those who helped and will probably help me in the future.

Still have issues with Discord screenshare on Linux using RTX 3060

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Jan 2026 - 11:08pm

Decided to make this a thread after some days of troubleshooting and googling around. I just can't get acceptable quality on Discord with screensharing. I tried using Vesktop and Equibop which were common suggestions from others, but while they allow me to finally stream with sound, the stream quality careens into a stuttery mess after a few seconds. If I choose "Prefer Smoothness", the quality is garbage (naturally) but the stream still becomes messy and stuttery after a while. When I choose "Prefer Quality", the stream looks like I want it to look - except after 10 seconds it becomes stuttery and unwatchable as well. Sometimes, the stream will also say "Stream Failed to Start: Error" and it will only work again when I disable Hardware Acceleration.

Strangely enough, the regular flatpak discord client is the only one that can keep the quality afloat, but it also stutters after streaming for a few seconds and the sound (depending on the game there's no sound but some games do have sound) begins to lag with the stream as well (on vesktop client it doesn't, the sound stays perfect but the image will still be bad). For now I have resorted to hosting with Sunshine and my friends watch my game over Moonlight, which works perfectly, but I can't force everyone to get Moonlight + LogMeInHamachi every time they want to watch me stream, and I don't want to push 2 entirely unrelated programs/tools on to people all the damn time. Also, I don't have this issue on Windows at all (but I'd really prefer not to use Windows anymore). I have RTX 3060 and Intel i9-11900 processor with 32 GB RAM.

My guess is that Discord on Linux (no matter the client) still uses CPU encoding of sorts instead of GPU encoding. Unfortunately i have no idea how to go on about fixing this anymore. Does anyone have any better idea? I'd be willing to distro hop as well if Bazzite is the issue but I somehow doubt it

Something that could help is being able to change the streaming codec somehow like I can with Sunshine, but I wouldn't know how to, or if that's even possible.

Discord bad screenshare situation

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Jan 2026 - 10:02pm

Is it only for me or does this affects generally everyone that has ever tried to screen share in Discord in linux and noticed that switching between 720p and 480p does not have a single difference? Why the hell 720p still looks like 480p? It looks awful for full screen and i cant see to find a solution for this, and im tired of google just regurgitating any AI response with a bunch of fucking nonsense in it, see the following video:

Sims 4 hotkeys

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Jan 2026 - 9:30pm

Hi, I switched from Windows 11 to Linux (Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS) yesterday. I've managed to get Sims 4 to run smoothly (using Steam/ProtonDB).

But there's one small-ish thing I haven't found a solution for: The hotkeys seem to be switched/altered compared to Windows. For example, I'm able to move objects up or down using 8 and 9 (instead of [ or ] keys under Windows).

But how to size objects down? I can only size them up using the + key. Does anyone know the hotkey for sizing them down?

As far as I know, there's no option to view or alter the hotkeys.

for starters I'm on linux mint 22 x86_64 and i have steam from official deb, the game and proton is on my main drive on ext4 and i have tried to reinstall steam, the game files are fine i think cause flatpak version of steam does launch it fine but its flatpak and if possible i'm trying to avoid it as much as possible as it doesn't play nice with my stuff, i can't find logs for isaac and i have no idea why it won't launch atp.

if there's some logs or sum that might help then just ask, i'm lowkey down bad to fix it rn

About a week ago i didn't even know what Linux is and here we are.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Jan 2026 - 9:09pm

I tried bunch of distros and decided to install Bazzite with GNOME. So happy so far. I didn't even know that Linux is a kernel about a week ago.

Deleted the Windows 11, didn't bother with dual-booting as my games already running on Linux.

Working well on a Full-AMD gaming laptop. ASUS TUF A16 Advantage Edition with Ryzen 7 7435HS and a Radeon RX 7600S 8GB GDDR6.

Trying to figure out how to install asusctl.

Sick and tired of devs using this sub for promotion

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Jan 2026 - 8:44pm

Especially the most recent one who literally said in the title the game doesn't have a linux release yet. "Coming soon" ™️

Like seriously WTF? How shameless can you be?

I feel like all I ever see from this sub are devs abusing this sub for promotion of their games.

Can't something be done about that?
