I need some help.
I made a Linux GUI to control Glorious wireless mice (RGB, debounce, battery)
Hey r/linux_gaming,
I got tired of booting into Windows just to change the RGB on my Glorious Model O Wireless, so I built a small control panel in Python/PySide6.
What it does:
- Set RGB effects (Glorious, Cycle, Pulse, Solid, Pulse One, Tail, Rave, Wave, Off)
- Inline color picker with live preview
- Adjust click debounce time (0–32 ms)
- Read battery level and charging status
- 3 profile slots
- Live log panel so you can see exactly what's being sent to the mouse
How it works:
It talks directly to the mouse over HID using raw feature reports — the same protocol the official Windows software uses. No kernel module or driver needed, just Python and hidapi.
Permissions:
On first launch it checks if it can access the mouse and shows a one-liner you can copy into your terminal. After that you never need sudo again, even after reboots.
Download:
AppImage on GitHub — just download, chmod +x and run.

Currently only tested with the Model O Wireless (258a:2022). If you have a different Glorious mouse and want support added, drop a comment with your lsusb | grep -i glorious output and I'll add it.
Feedback welcome — this is my first Linux tool on GitHub.

Nodatacow BTRFS vs ext4 for games?
Hello, will try Cachy this week and read there could be some issues related to having game files on BTRFS
Two of the most recommended solutions are the "nodatacow" setting and using a different partition / drive in ext4
Which one would you recommend? any advice?

I built a hardware monitor widget that stays on top of Linux games — CoreX [OC]
Hey r/linux_gaming,
Always wanted a hardware overlay for Linux that works
outside of games too — not just in Vulkan like MangoHUD.
CoreX is an always-on-top draggable widget that shows
CPU temp, GPU temp, GPU usage, RAM and network speeds
over any application including games.
Also includes a full dashboard with HWiNFO-style sensor
tree (real sensor names, not "temp1"), live charts and
Min/Max tracking per sensor.
**Tested on:**
- AMD Ryzen 5 2600 + AMD GPU (Zorin OS 18)
- Intel Core i5-8250U ThinkPad (Zorin OS 18)
**Install (Ubuntu / Zorin / Mint):**
sudo apt install lm-sensors libxcb-cursor0 python3-pip
sudo sensors-detect --auto
git clone https://github.com/Edewin/corex.git
cd corex
pip3 install PyQt6 pyqtgraph pynvml --break-system-packages
bash run.sh
**GitHub:** https://github.com/Edewin/corex
Early MVP — feedback welcome! What features would
you want to see next?
*Built with Python + PyQt6. Used AI-assisted development
(Cline + Claude Sonnet / DeepSeek via OpenRouter) to
accelerate prototyping — all architecture and product
decisions are mine. Total AI API cost: $3.*

Made a light weight terminal based GPU-Z called gpuwatch
I built a terminal-based GPU monitoring tool for Linux, basically GPU-Z but in your terminal. It shows full hardware specs alongside live stats like utilization, temps, clocks, power draw, and VRAM usage, all updating in real time. It's OC-aware too, if your GPU is overclocked or running a custom BIOS, it shows stock specs with your actual values(and theoretical clocks) in brackets. Supports all RTX 20 through 50 series cards. Will add more support in the future.

Anime in the Terminal
Was a big fan of ani-cli, but mpv opening on every stream when unnecessary, no English translations, and no organization or art got to me. So I borrowed some of that, made sure to scrape multiple sites with backups, and created project shizuku. If the video is not in mp4 or other terminal friendly formats, mpv opens as a backup. You can download “barrels” which are the entire season or ova collections with a single click. Anything downloaded stays in your library and won’t stream, just play from the application. Check it out at https://github.com/onyxdigitaldev/projectshizuku for screenshots and downloads.

Adding older Proton versions
I've been wanting to start playing on Linux, and checking on proton DB the most used version of proton for games like Helldivers and Arc Raiders is Proton 10.0-3, while the latest is 10.0-4, I'm not sure if they have the same performance, but the older one seems to be more used. I've been trying to find the file for the older version to add manually but i only can find the source code, i also tried looking for it in the beta branch and from the proton installer on Nobara but nothing. Is there a way to add it or should i just play with the newer version?
