To the racing/flight sim types: Any luck with one distro style over another, or does it really matter?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Jul 2025 - 7:33pm

I'm guessing the answer to this question will be what it is for any "wat am best distro" question - that it doesn't really matter. However, with this more unusual use-case, I thought I'd ask directly to be sure, since it seems like everything else I want to do will work just fine in Linux. Racing and flight sims are the one thing holding me back.

I'm making the jump to Linux to flee the terrors of Win11 before it tries to suck me in (read: I have Win10 and I ain't goin' to 11). I've been messing around with distros for the last couple of weeks, researching what can and can't be done, etc., and I'm waffling between running Pop_OS, Fedora, and CachyOS. The only thing I really plan to do with the desktop this will be on is games, sims, and just basic user stuff, since I have a laptop that I'll use for any real computing I need to do.

Is there anything I really need to consider when picking a distro when it comes to giving hardware the best chance to work? I run full Virpil with TrackIR for flying, and Thrustmaster and Heusinkveld for racing. It sounds like things will, surprisingly, work alright with a little effort, apart from maybe the TS-PC wheel (no drivers that I've found) and TrackIR, as I'm unsure if the sensor works with OpenTrack. But I'd hate to get neck deep in Debian just to find out that Arch should have been my choice, or whatever. I work in IT during the day, so while I do know my way around (mostly-ish...), I'm not looking to tinker and maximize everything. Just looking for something that will work "well" so I can keep my hobbies at night.

Any advice?

What are the chances of Wine working generally?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Jul 2025 - 5:42pm

Just wanted to make a quick survey. What percentage of apps/games worked with Wine?

I have used Wine as for applications only once and it wasn't pretty good. So wanted to hear from you guys. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

Is it possible to recompile PC games/software to be compatible with Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Jul 2025 - 5:11pm

You might have seen a previous post I've made regarding 3D Groove not working properly with wine/lutris. I'm very close to giving up with trying to get it working, but then I remembered seeing in repositories like Discover or Flathub how someone was able to port old Mac OS games (like Bugdom) and got those games working with linux and modern operating systems.

Now I'm wondering if it's possible to decompile some of these abandonware games and/or it's player to somehow get it working on modern systems without the need of lutris or virtual machines.

I honestly don't have any experience with coding and game recompiling, but I'd be willing to learn if it meant I could play games like Bleeposaurus again.

Miceandmen dns found in my steam deck

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Jul 2025 - 5:01pm

So this is apparently for an enterprise network, but I don't recall ever installing this or changing the DNS. I reinstalled the system. Might've someone just plant this dns but with physical access to the deck?

I installed bazzite, encrypted. I cannot use the main steamos because it doesn't have full disk encryption, which is what I may need to prevent this.

I'm creating a browser extension that would help with formatting Steam reviews a lot easier!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Jul 2025 - 4:49pm

Good day everyone,

I don't know if this subreddit is the right place to post this or not. When writing Steam reviews especially long ones we often need to format the review using Steam’s BBCode-like tags. Manually typing out all those tags can be tedious and error-prone.That’s why I made a simple browser extension that adds a formatting toolbar to Steam’s review and workshop description editors. With this extension, you can easily add headers, bold, italics, lists, tables, links, and more just by clicking buttons, no memorizing or typing tags required!

How it helps:

  • Instantly insert formatting tags (like [b] Bold [/b], [h1] Header [/h1], [url=...] Link [/url], etc.) with a single click.
  • Create bulleted/numbered lists and tables using easy pop-up editors no manual BBCode needed.
  • Only appears where formatting is actually supported (like reviews and workshop descriptions), so it won’t clutter Steam comments.
  • Saves time and helps your reviews look clean and professional.

This is still under work in progress but i will soon release if this is worth it and yes the extension source code will be open source too.

Would anyone of you would use this?

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Change gamepad stick response curve?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Jul 2025 - 3:49pm

There was a thread here about a year ago, but it didn't have any good answers.

I'm looking for a way to change the response curve of gamepad sticks. So say, when the stick is pushed to 50%, it should only output 25%, but full would still be full.

SC-controller, AntimicroX, Molten Gamepad and SDL gamepad tool don't seem to have that feature (or I can't find it). On Windows, there is Joystick Gremlin EX - the GUI runs under Wine, but it requires a Windows driver to have an effect.

I don't use Steam.

Is there anything?

Does Gaming on Linux "just work" these days?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Jul 2025 - 3:23pm

Like many others my partners and my PCs are not good enough for W11, and we really don't want what Microsoft is pushing on its users these days. So I am looking into potentially swapping us over to Linux.

We mainly play WoW together, and my partner is very tech illiterate. Combined with us being apart for sometimes months means I need to set it up, but then it needs to "just work" from then on. They know how to turn on their computer, click on the Battle.net, Steam and Discord icon on the desktop and select what game they want to play. If I tell them to open the Terminal they'd probably break up with me lol.

So I am testing Bazzite on an old laptop at the moment, and Battle.net through Lutris doesn't connect, which I have since learned can be avoided if adding it as a non-steam game and selecting a certain Proton version, but does something like that just keep working without needing further intervention?

We can't really afford especially Battle.net spontaneously not working, as worst case if we're both affected 38 people won't have 2 of their main tanks. If things like their Satisfactory don't work that's annoying but it's not as urgent, as long as it'll eventually fix itself.

So to come back to my original question, does gaming on Linux just worn these days, for people like us that play non-steam games and never interact with the Terminal, or should we stay on W10 even when security updates stop?

Script Proton Launcher

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Jul 2025 - 3:02pm

Hi,

I am trying to script a launch to play multiple instances of Idle Clans

The first instance is from Steam, and I have no issue with this one. However, the second two need to be launched directly from Proton. I conducted several tests, so the variables are a bit messy.

steam_path="$HOME/.steam/steam"

compat="$steam_path/steamapps/compatdata/2103530"

client="$steam_path/steamapps/compatdata"

proton="$steam_path/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton10-4/proton"

game="$steam_path/steamapps/common/Idle Clans/Idle Clans.exe"

export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=$compat

export STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH=$client

export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="$compat"

export STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH="$client"

export STEAM_COMPAT_TOOL_PATHS="$steam_path/compatibilitytools.d/"

export STEAM_RUNTIME=1

export STEAM_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_PATH="$steam_path/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/"

export STEAM_RUNTIME_VERSION=0

export PROTON_NO_ESYNC=0

export PROTON_NO_FSYNC=0

export PROTONFIXES_NO_LOG=0

export PROTON_USE_WINED3D=0

export WINEDEBUG=-all

export PYTHONINSPECT=0

export DISABLE_PROTONFIXES_UNITTEST=1

If I copy and paste the following line in a terminal, I can launch an instance of the game.

echo STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=$compat STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH=$client $proton run $game

If I try to execute the following from the script

STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=$compat STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH=$client $proton run $game

or

$proton run $game

I get the error message:
ProtonFixes[658920] WARN: Skipping fix execution. We are probably running an unit test.

Do you know what I am doing wrong?

How do I run a .ps1 file with powershell (or something akin to that)? I want to mod The Witcher 3 with Random Encounters Reworked.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 22 Jul 2025 - 2:21pm

I'm on Bazzite modding the Witcher 3 (I even got the mod manager and Script Merger working). I want to install a mod called Random Encounters Reworked, but rather than simply drop the contents in folders, I have to drop it in the game's main directory and run a powershell program. On Windows, I could do this real easily. However, I'm not sure how to do this on Bazzite.

Any idea what program or method I can use? I'd be grateful.
