I set up an Arch install (2025.07.01; fully updated) to check out the state of Linux gaming. Game runs extremely well - solid 120FPS. Using Wayland + Cinnamon. Only problem is Ctrl, Alt and Shift don't work in-game. Item transfer from backpack to stash is Shift+Click - which sucks to do manually! I've tried a few different Proton versions but haven't yet found a fix. Any workaround or solution?

Is there a good soundboard software for playing audio files through the microphone via hotkey? The only one I can find, Soundux, has a whitelist system so you can only use supported applications (🤮)

Thank you and have a nice day

I've been watching lots of videos about linux and gaming and I kinda wanna start a project with it. This project im thinking about is a very cheap laptop which i mod/ change the specs into better ones then install linux. Then i use this laptop for gaming! The games are mainly on steam or i emulate them from the internet using pxs3 etc.. I wouldn't be playing games like valorant or cs or r6s because i heard it wouldnt work with linux; which i dont know if its true. I am a COMPLETE noob.. so pls no hate and give me advice?

My body is yearning for MLG montages and trickshotting. I want to put on some skrillex and quickscope.

Never played any CoD game before but I know that I like to brainlessly run around and shoot. I spent so many hours in BF4 LOCKERS/METRO ONLY NO EXPLO servers.

Will skate. be available for Mac OS, Steam OS, Proton/Linux systems (handle held PCs like the Steam Deck) for Early Access?

• We want to bring skate. to as many platforms as possible and will continue to listen to feedback and look at the feasibility of adding new platforms in the future, but for Early Access launch, Mac OS, Steam OS, Proton/Linux will not be supported.

I'm on Ubuntu and I'm really struggling to get Battle.net running properly with Lutris and Wine.

I install it using the Lutris installer, and everything seems fine at first — the login window opens. But the installation window stays open in the background the whole time.

I waited quite a while thinking it might finish on its own, but it didn’t. So I proceeded to log in. After logging in, Battle.net throws an error and I can't see the store, my library, or any games. After a bit, it freezes completely and I get the “App is not responding” window. Meanwhile, the original installation window is still open the entire time.

If I close Battle.net, the installer remains running, and I’m forced to cancel it. But if I cancel it, Battle.net doesn’t get saved in my library and I have to go through the whole install process again from scratch.

Has anyone found a way to make this work properly? Any tips would be appreciated.

Hello, I'm currently trying to mod some games and I wonder how do y'all mod your games on linux do you use MO2,Vortex,The new Nexus Mods App,specific standalone mod managers or fully manually?
How do you install them and what has to be considered before,during and after?

Finally got Steam working on my Radxa Orion o6 with Bred OS, FEX-Emu and an AMD RX 6500 XT and it actually runs really well!

Only downside so far: controller support doesn’t work yet (kernel limitation, can be patched though), but keyboard and mouse are fine. For an ARM SBC, this setup is seriously fire.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, not sure if any one in here play Arma3 at all. But I'll take my shot

I can toggle 3rd person view. But the moment I hit any key on the keyboard it will immediately switch back to 1st person.
Tried all version of proton yield the same result. I was using Proton Experiment in the video

Only happen on Linux, not windows.
Windows and Linux share same setting, identical config

There was one time that it works. I played a single player scenario, 3rd person view didn't work at first, but 30 mins in and I tried toggle 3rd person view (like a habbit) and it persist. But once i finish the mission, that happen again.

I'm having persistent GPU underutilization issues after switching from i3wm to Hyprland on Arch Linux. The issue is most noticeable in Counter-Strike 2.

In CS2, the GPU usage is around 90% in the menu, drops to about 66% during the pre-round phase, and then drops even further to 40–50% once the round begins. This causes noticeable FPS drops and a generally unstable experience. Under i3wm, everything ran smoothly with high GPU usage and no drops like this.

So far I've tried launching CS2 via Gamescope with Gamemode and MangoHud using:
gamescope -f -r 144 -w 1920 -h 1080 -- mangohud gamemoderun %command%
This didn’t help — the GPU usage still drops when gameplay starts.

I’ve also made adjustments in my Hyprland config, including forcing the monitor mode to 1920x1080@144, disabling animations, and trying to force fullscreen through window rules. In-game, I set fps_max 0 and mat_vsync 0, and I verified that the monitor is actually running at 144Hz using hyprctl monitors.

Despite all this, the problem persists. It feels like the game is being limited by sync behavior or poor fullscreen handling under Wayland/XWayland. It might also be tied to the way CS2 is presented through XWayland rather than natively through Wayland.

I’d love to stay on Hyprland but right now this issue is a dealbreaker. Any help or suggestions would be hugely appreciated. My setup is RX 7600 + Ryzen 5 5600G.

edit: Should've searched first. Found a solution here: https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/1jyzgrx/the_correct_way_to_install_newer_nvidia_drivers/

I finally got around to getting a GPU and dual booting with Bazzite. Bazzite works great for what I needed but I am having trouble installing the drivers on the Debian side of my computer. Its my daily driver/design PC.

Debian 12 stable KDE RTX 3050

When I go to install drivers I am met with this:

This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

Any ideas?
