Any flydigi controllers users on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. November 2025 - 03:12

currently in the phase of planning to move to Linux, trying to find official and unofficial software for my peripherals. the only thing i couldn't find a software for is my Vader 4 controller, i know it will work on Linux because it essentially works as xinput controller, but I'll lose all custom features without the software.

anybody else found a workaround?

Hello everyone, I'm new to Linux and I was wondering if anyone here has played GTA San Andreas multiplayer on Linux? I have tried a lot of things and I have not been successful in opening this game, the closest I came was running it with wine but it automatically crashes when loading a server

How close is Linux gaming to being fully “Windows-free” for you?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. November 2025 - 02:30

I’ve seen huge progress with Proton, Wine, and native ports, but I’m wondering how close Linux gaming really is to replacing Windows completely. Do most of your games run out of the box now, or do you still hit random crashes, anti-cheat issues, or missing features? What tweaks or tools made gaming smooth for you on Linux, and what’s still holding it back from being perfect?

Kubuntu for gaming?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. November 2025 - 02:06

Hi guys. I was recently gifted a Dell Optiplex 7010. It came with 8GB memory and a gt730. All I plan on using it for is fightcade and maybe older 2010 gaming plus emulation since I don't care about modern games. My friend wiped the drive so I can make it my little project. He suggested Kubuntu for gaming since it's easier to mod games with and it feels intuitive. Anything I should consider before I commit to Kubuntu?

Need more AntiMicroX help. Time delay doesn't change for some reason.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. November 2025 - 01:52

So whenever I change the time delay for slots in a button, the time resets back to 0.10s whenever I exit the Advanced window. Don't even have the time to save, it changes as soon as I'm done. Cycle Reset is fine, it's just the delay for some reason. Anyone know what's wrong?

Reposting since I got the title wrong :P

Mouse cursor on both screen

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. November 2025 - 01:28

Hi all, I’m having an issue where my cursor can be on both of my monitors at the same time (half on one half on the other). If I click when it’s in this position, it alt tabs to the monitor on the left (my secondary one), and minimizes/I lose control of the game on my primary display. I’ve tried setting the games to exclusive full screen, borderless, cycled all the options. It’s not game specific, this happens when on the system desktop, it just doesn’t affect me then as much. The issue doesn’t appear on windows. Info: -Fedora 43 gnome (issue was present on 42 as well) -Primary display 1080p 260hz -Secondary display 1080p 60hz (supposedly an issue with Wayland not being able to handle th different refresh rates) -AMD 9070xt

Hopefully this qualifies as useful tech request, I was unable to find a fix for my issue online

Is there a way to cap Borderlands 2 at 30 fps but use lsfg-vk to bring it to 60?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. November 2025 - 01:17

Pretty much title. There are some glitches that annoy me due to game logic being tied to framerate sometimes. Is there any way to cap the game to 30 internally but have lsfg-vk scale the shown fps to 60?

Has anyone tried this? What solution did you end up with?

problemas com controle replica ps4

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. November 2025 - 00:52

comprei um controle replica de ps4 para jogar no linux mint. consegui conectar o controle via bluetooth mas a luz ficou branca e eu não consegui usar ele em si. tentei o chatgpt e o gemini para solucionar mas nada deu certo. quando conecto via usb ele funciona, mas queria usar a função sem fio. obs sem fio ele funciona no ios e android. nao testei em pc com windows.

esse foi o resumo do gemini. ele desistiu de tentar

O sistema o vê, o pareia (luz branca), mas falha ao criar o dispositivo de entrada (/dev/input/js0), por isso ele não aparece no jstest-gtk ou na Steam.O chipset Bluetooth do seu controle réplica está implementando o protocolo HID de uma maneira não padrão que o driver hid-sony (mesmo com todas as correções e quirks que aplicamos) não consegue interpretar corretamente como um joystick utilizável.O sistema o vê, o pareia (luz branca), mas falha ao criar o dispositivo de entrada (/dev/input/js0), por isso ele não aparece no jstest-gtk ou na Steam.

My display for my games are broken

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. November 2025 - 00:51

So yesterday, I decided to change my hertz rate because it was 60 hz and my monitor could go up to 120 hz, but when I changed it, nothing changed and all my games just became laggier. When I tried to change it, I found out that my refresh rate was still 60 hz and I could now not change a single thing for my display settings! Can someone help me out?

Ability to set Desktop Intel iGPU to handle compositing and video acceleration and NVIDIA dGPU for 3D acceleration

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. November 2025 - 00:23

I have cachyOS (currently using LTS kernel cuz the default kernel crashes with modesetting) on a rather old computer

i5 3570 (Intel HD 2500)
12gb of RAM
Nvidia GTX 660 (using nvidia 470xx)
KDE Plasma 6 Kwin X11

I'd like to see the feasability of using the intel igpu for transcoding (decode/encode H.264 for Firefox video playback and Vesktop/Sunshine streaming respectively) and drawing the compositor (could it let me do wayland ?) while the nvidia dGPU is used mainly for 3D accel with OpenGL and Vulkan (Proton-Sarek) and CUDA

I already have mesa, libva-nvidia and libva-intel installed

for the former, NVENC is not supported as of the time of writing this.

iGPU multi-monitor is enabled on the BIOS, On Windows, plugging the monitor into the motherboard causes severe performance hits (like going from locked 60fps to 4-5 fps on Dark Souls 3 with Nvidia is being used) and i hope it's not the same on Linux.

I heard about PRIME off-loading but I am not sure if this works on Desktops.

Any suggestions, insights, ideas are welcome.

Helldivers 2 Crashing when using lasers...

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 05. November 2025 - 00:16

Heya all, so as the title goes, I've had HD2 keep crahsing on my whenever I, or the Automatons, are using laser weaponry (havent tested arc or tesla weaponry, nor have I tested the Illuminate). I have not been able to get to the bottom of it at all, but alot of people say that it maybe be a mixture of a Proton issue and Shader Cache issue. I have not been able to ger a crash log to tell me anything at all...

All drivers have been updated to the latest update since 05/11/2025, and the OS regularly updates each day. The game is also running on DX11 under Steam launch commands as having it as DX12 does not let me launch the game. I do play with mods, but they have not affected or changed anything, even when testing under a vanilla enviroment.

I'm just wondering if I can get any help to see if I can fix this problem, or atleast make it so that it doesnt crash at either specific or random (even looking at the sky can cause the game to crash).

OS - Arch Linux, KDE Plasma

PC Specs

CPU - i5 13600KF

MOBO - ASUS Prime Z790M-WIFI

RAM - 32GB (16GB x 2) 6000Mhz

GPU - 4060 TI 8GB

Proton Layer - GE Proton 9-27 (GE Proton 10 does not work well, and has fixed some issues when downgrading)

Is there a way to install ReShade on a native Linux program?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. November 2025 - 23:59

Okay so I’ve been playing Bloodborne on the shadPS4 emulator it works perfectly fine, I wanted to install the ‘Shadows of the hunt’ on nexus which I could do… sorta I can install the part of the mod that just replaces the games files but, the other part of the mod is a ReShade preset that includes TAA via vortmotion shaders and SSAO with bitmasks I can’t exactly install that because shadPS4 is an AppImage and to my knowledge you can’t install ReShade on that. Is there a way to install ReShade on AppImages or atleast a workaround? Please tell me if I’m just being stupid.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. November 2025 - 23:53

I’ve been looking to switch the Linux since windows 10 died. I've been switching distros after finding some I don't like, some don't rely work with my hardware and all sorts. I've been looking at garuda Linux and cachy os. I'm using fedora 43 now. I might switch depending on what garuda and cachyos are like. Side note: I know this really isn't the ideal place to ask but some distros fail to pick up some of my gpus sensors e.g power. Any way around this?

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X

Motherboard: Aorus elite b550 ax v2 rev 1.5

GPU: Arc B580

In Lutris, how do you select a beta version for a Steam game?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. November 2025 - 23:14

Vermintide 2 only works when the "temporary_launcher_workaround" beta is selected on Steam, but Lutris will still load the launcher and the game won't run.
