Im very new to linux, I am struggling to install a driver for a logitech wheel for oversteer to get force feedback on my wheel.

I get an error from pacman and stops me from downloading the driver.

I am brand new to linux so if you can help please explain it to me like im a 2 year old :)

Sorry but I am pretty new to linux and even linux server hosting. Recently I have been wanting to host a linux server for multiple different games and one of them is Ark Survival Ascended, however ASA doesn't have official linux server support. So I searched the internet for a solution and stumbled across a reddit post on this subreddit for a script for hosting and managing an ASA server on linux through Proton which can be found here. However no matter how hard I try I can't seem to get it to work. I have the logs for the server crash but due to my inexperience I can't quite determine what the problem is or how to fix it. Can someone provide some insight on what the problem might be and how do I fix it? I am using a new headless Debian 13 server.

Server Log:
Fatal error!

I have lutris. A buddy installed warframe on it but he didn't tell me how to install anything myself so I am up a creek without a paddle momentarily. I want to take my account off the ps5 but I just don't know how to run it on linux.

The favourite OS I am using is called Linux (not GNU/Linux) that just happens to to use software like GNU and Stean. But that dont mean that GNU or Steam should be in the name.

Hello,

I use Fedora Kinoite 43.

I want to set my browser and OBS to use my iGPU (Intel 730), because met dGPU doesn't have an encoder and has less support for decoding (I'm using RX 6500 XT).

How can I set those apps to use the iGPU by default?

I have tried the method add DRI_PRIME=1 to enviroment flatpak permission, but brave was still using the dGPU and OBS didn't show the option to use hardware encoder.

BTW I have enabled in the bios that bot GPU's are enabled.

For example withun Lutris I can choose if I want to use dGPU or iGPU.

https://community.kde.org/KDE_Linux/Multi-GPU

The reason I post this in the Linux_gaming subreddit is because I want to use OBS to record games, but I want to use the iGPU for that.

Hi, I've got this hori arcade stick since forever and I'd like to use with nobara linux, the system sees it as an unknown input/gaming device /dev/input/event3 in the system preferences, it works but it only sees three of the eight buttons (and the ps button) it registers the x, square, triangle and L1 buttons the rest are not recognized, the stick is recognized too, only some of the buttons aren't.

Anyone knows how can I add and config the missing buttons?.

UPDATE: Just for the sake of tinkering I've installed jstest-gtk and it sees the event for all the buttons, the device it uses is /dev/input/js1 not /dev/input/event3 so looks like I'm getting somewhere.

This is a guide for running Lossless Scaling for a Moonlight game stream on Linux (Ubuntu in my case). For a TL;DR, skip to "How to run it"

My Setup

Hey, I have a setup in which I stream video games via Sunshine and Moonlight from my gaming PC to my laptop. The laptop itself is also somewhat beefy (LOQ-15ARP9), but struggles with playing games on Ultra High settings. Both are connected via LAN in this case. I am running Ubuntu 24.

I recently saw a video by Linus Tech Tips where they featured Lossless Scaling, which interpolates frames to increase the smoothness. As in, interpolating the frames from 60 to 120 for example. I was super curious whether that could work with Moonlight streaming since my laptop GPU wasn't really doing much when streaming anyways, so it could handle interpolation.

Apparently, Lossless Scaling is a Windows-Only solution, which really bummed me out. But there is a linux wrapper for it by PancakeTAS on GitHub called "lsfg-vk".

Using that, together with the standalone Moonlight version and forcing Vulkan on it, made it work. I was able to play on 120fps while streaming a 60fps game. In this post I'd like how you could set that up as well if you want to try it out. Mind you, there is a really noticeable amount of latency when doing so (on top of the existing latency from streaming), so I wouldn't advice it for any game where you'd need to react super quickly. For that reason, I may actually pass on it, but I thought I'd still share it for anyone searching that is trying out the same - because I didn't find a lot of resources for my specific use-case.

How to run it

What you need:

• You need the original Lossless Scaling installed (yes, the windows version. I used Steam to buy it)
• You need to install lsfg-vk (Follow the instructions), which is somewhat of a Lossless Scaling wrapper for Linux
• You need to install the standalone version of Moonlight (.AppRun)
  • You could try making it work with the snap or flathub version, but I was unable to. Let me know if you are able to.
• You need to be able to render with Vulkan. This may sometimes need additional drivers. Step 3 should make clear whether you're correctly set up for Vulkan or not.

What to do:

1) In the terminal, enter "lsfg-vk-ui"

2) In the UI of lsfg-vk-ui, set the exact path in "Path to Lossless Scaling" to the Lossless.dll from the Lossless Scaling installation. The path has to end with "Lossless.dll", not the parent directory.

3) Make sure everything is set up correctly with "lsfg-vk-cli" validate and "lsfg-vk-cli benchmark".

3) In the UI of lsfg-vk-ui, configure "Active In" for a profile to match "AppRun".

You may be wondering why I use such a generic way to match the stream. lsfg-vk allows us to match file names, binaries, but also process names. No matter how hard I tried making lsfg-vk run with matching it against "Moonlight-6.1.0-x86_64.AppImage" (The binary name), it wouldn't work. That is because Moonlight starts another process for the stream. So we're basically only interpolating the app selection in Moonlight, not the stream itself. To make it run for the stream, we need to match the new process, which is called "AppRun". I understand that there may be multiple applications running on your system that are called "AppRun", but in my case there wasn't and in my case it was the only way I was able to match the stream. If you know of another way, let me know!

3.5) Configure the lsfg-vk-ui profile to run on your machine. You mostly just have to play around with the settings.

4) Run Moonlight using Vulkan

Moonlight seems to run with OpenGL by default, but lsfg-vk needs Vulkan to interpolate it, so we need to run Moonlight via Vulkan. We can force Vulkan by starting Moonlight with the following command: PREFER_VULKAN=1 Moonlight-6.1.0-x86_64.AppImage

5) Start a stream and it should now be interpolated. Yay. Please read "Things to note"

6) Optional: If you have GitHub account, then star all the free and open-source resources involved and consider throwing the super cool people that made this possible a coin.
Here are the GitHub links: lsfg-vk, moonlight, sunshine

Things to note:

1) It is super important to note that the stream on the client and the game that you're streaming both need to be running on the same constant frame rate. After all, we're not interpolating the game, we're interpolating the stream. So if the game has a big dip in FPS to for example 50, but the stream still runs at constant 60 FPS, then Lossless Scaling will interpolate thinking its working with 60 frames. This means you're going to feel Dips in FPS even more - which could have the contrary effect of wanting to smoothing the FPS and make it stutter way more instead.

2) There is a big latency cost. It can be reduced by lowering "Flow Scale" and reducing the "Multiplier" in your lsfg-vk profile - but always at a cost of quality and never to zero latency. Interpolation always comes at the cost of latency.

3) Don't take everything I mention here as perfectly valid and feel free to comment and constructively criticize. I'm just a dude that tried to make this run at 2 AM, so I'm sure there is a lot of stuff wrong or missing. If you find something, let me know and I'll correct it.

Honestly, the only thing keeping me on Windows right now is the differences between those two OS are game launchers. On Windows I use Playnite, because it lets me keep games from all launchers in one place (Epic, Steam, Ubisoft, etc.). I use my PC connected to TV and I’d like to have my library of games well organized. oh and I have to navigate it by controller.

Is there anything like that on Linux? Some kind of unified launcher that pulls everything together, basically a Playnite equivalent?

Stumbled upon this git issue recently:

https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/5089#issuecomment-3692839406

Context: a user had some kind of authentication error that resulted in GOG miscommunicating with Heroic for a few days, reporting no owned games. This resulted in their GOG library being hidden by Heroic to prevent launching.

It seems like this is intended behaviour. From one of the contributors:

Nothing about launching an installed GOG game inherently requires authorization, however, if you do not have access to the game on your account anymore, this generally means that you no longer have a license for that game (when purchasing a game on GOG, you get a license for that game, as explained in point 2.1 of their User Agreement). If the license is revoked (for example, you refund a game or delete your account entirely) and Heroic would still let you launch that game, it may lead to legal issues

Does anyone else find this concerning?

I am super keen to move my gaming PC from windows 10 to Mint (as my laptop currently runs Mint) however I am a huge fan of wallpaper engine and in particular a certain wallpaper persona 5 theme (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2955378002).

I love the phantom thieves style calendar, the time sync city (the music is a nice bonus but I know I could implement that other ways or just use a music app so its not a priority). I've done some basic research but I am not sure if those elements will work with the wallpaper engine kde plugin, or if there is another way to implement them.

It might sound ridiculous to be held back by such a small thing but I genuinely love the feel it adds, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Repeating what I posted a year ago.

https://www.reddit.com//r/linux_gaming/comments/1hqlfwb/2025_what_are_your_wishes_and_hopes_for_linux/

My first question is, did things you wish for last year happen? If they did, are you satisfied with them or not?

Second and main question is, what are your wishes and hopes for Linux gaming this year? It could be anything, small or big, so don't shy away from sharing.

• My biggest wish at this point is NTsync, Wine Wayland and Wine WoW64 implemented in Valve's Proton. I've been using NTsync since it's inception with Wine TkG and Wine Wayland since Wine 9.0-rc1. These things are now in GE-Proton and they perform amazingly. I'd like to finally see them in Valve's Proton too.

• I would like the Steam client to be 64-bit on Linux. It's even 64-bit on Windows now too. It's literally the only 32-bit application on my system. Which means I need multilib enabled and 32-bit system libraries installed on Arch Linux. Wine WoW64 also allows me to play 32-bit Windows games without any 32-bit system libraries.

• I want the Steam client to get a full UI or toolkit overhaul. I want it to run over Wayland natively and not over XWayland. It sucks imo. Right click menu is utterly broken. I can't ever properly right click. I hate having to edit launch arguments for a game because of this. I have to right click dozens of times.

• Full DualSense haptic feedback support in Wine/Proton. Valve has made a lot of progress with this in 2025, but some games are still missing support, like the first two Spider-Man games (Spider-Man 2 works).

Third question. What do you DON'T want to see in 2026? Anything specific?

Final question. Other than Linux gaming, what are your general wishes for Linux in 2026?

• I would like motherboard and hardware manufacturers to take Linux as an OS more seriously and provide firmware updates through fwupd.

this hasnt started until i started overclocking, but i now have the gpu at base settings, yet it still has issues. ive begun using the default linux kernel, rather than the one from cachyos, specifically, 6.18.2. ive tried reseating the gpu, but that still hasnt worked. is my gpu defective, do i have to reinstall fedora, or is it user error? thanks for helping.
