I need recommendations for a controller

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12. September 2025 - 15:55

Title. I have a play station 5 controller. Expensive and not nearly as comfortable and pleasant to use as one would imagine with that price.

I'm looking for cheaper things I won't get too upset at the moment of breaking, something that works well on linux, of course.

Hi all, I am making the game A Pinball Game That Makes You Mad. It is a pinball rage game inspired by Getting Over It with Bennet Foddy and Get To Work.

Although proton is available, I would love to make my game playable on Linux native as well!

I am looking for Linux native playtesters. This includes both Steamdeck and PC players. If you would like to playtest this game, DM me and I will send you a code. You just have to join my discord to provide feedback. Thank you!

Have we been lied to?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12. September 2025 - 09:07

This is more of a half joking, fluff post more than something serious because I do understand that there are still issues but, really, my experience with an nvidia card on Linux has been fine.

Big Linux is always talking about how it's an awful experience, bug ridden, unusable on wayland, and that AMD cards will always be better yet I've been fine for the most part knock on wood.

I genuinely expected a more annoying experience with the trade-off being cuda and nvenc(nvdec as well) but nope.

Of course I am using an older card and as such support for it is more mature, and I'm also using a card that isn't completely gimped on Linux aka everything pre-turing, but it's still a good experience and I recommend that anybody worried about dipping their toes into Linux or an nvidia card(if they actually need it's extra features) because of the issues that have been mentioned a lot(they do exist mind you, but I feel like it was because most distros use older packages that have them) just goes for it.

Where do you use sunshine?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12. September 2025 - 09:04

Hi, Sunshine really does not work with CachyOS + Cosmic (clearly my fault, I'm using alpha software, not here to ask for help), or at least I couldn't make it work.

I'm looking for the right combination of distro + DE to run it.

If you use it, could you please share in a comment your setup?

Thank you very much.

PS: My pc:

  • CPU: 13400F
  • GPU: RX 9060 XT
  • RAM: 32GB DDR4
  • Monitor 1: 144Hz freesync
  • Monitor 2: 60Hz

Why does my controller not find my PC automatically?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 12. September 2025 - 07:04

I use an 8bitdo ultimate bluetooth controller, and when i turn it on, it searches for the last used device (my laotop) but doesnt find it and is unable to be paired unless i press the little button to pair, then press connect in my bluetooth settings every time. Is there a reason why this is the case, while my bluetooth headphones are able to connect to my computer whenever they are turned on?

I am using Endeavor os if that makes a difference
