Anyone got a recommendations or proven setups for setting up a zero-trust type gaming set up using either a lightweight VM, well set up container on a per application bases for example Steam & related games in an instance, discord in another one, RPCS3 in another without it really interacting with main system kernel or at least having heavy mitigations without breakage and proper privilege isolation with examples for configuration, hardening etc

Regarding hardware I have an AMD workstation with 16 cores, 32 threads, two AMD GPU's, and a separate PCI USB hub for passthrough, I've tried using proxmox & virtual manager but the configurations at least without months of reading, learning and breakage issues don't yield results I am happy with from a security perspective, it works but security seems to go out the window from all testing and I currently don't have the skills to make something of that, if someone has an existing set up that sounds similar and can provide examples or conf and package list I'd appreciate it, I don't mind reading documentation and spending a few weeks on it, mainly trying to avoid running around like a headless chook for months to give up using two installs to prevent untrusted software running on the main system.

Hey folks, just curious for anyone that has a B580 card; What is your experience like? Can you sound off on what distro you are using and how has gaming been like for you? Specifically if you have an updated kernel and Mesa stack. I'm also not sure about the status of Xe kernel driver currently.

thanks in advance.

Hi, I have an Oculus Rift CV1, and I was thinking about switching to Linux on my main PC, but I don't know if there is a way to get the Quest Link app or the Oculus Rift working on Linux. I was thinking of using Arch or Cachy.

Ante todo buenas, soy nuevo por este reddit, quiero comentaros como Linux, concretamente Bazzite, me salvó el culo. En Windows me pasó una cosa, lo mismo que con MH Rise, y es que el juego no me detectaba el guardado, y he vuelto a caer en crear datos nuevos y mi personaje de 51h se me había borrado. Ahora bien, por suerte jugaba en Linux también y tenía mi save local ahí guardado, lo he sacado y he hecho backup. He cargado los datos en Windows y ya lo tengo de vuelta. Recomiendo mucho que hagáis esto si jugáis MH Wilds. La ruta por lo que he visto suele estar en: ~/.config/MonsterHunterWilds/save/

O sino en : ~/.local/share/Steam/userdata/TU_ID_DE_STEAM/2246340/remote/

El número puede ser 2246340 o 3065170, eso depende de cada usuario.

En caso de no ver la carpeta local debéis mostrar los archivos ocultos.

Yo recomiendo copiar la carpeta entera, no tiene mucho más, tiene 2 archivos bin. Con MH Rise tuve que empezar de 0 pero con Wilds no quiero. A un chaval de Xbox le pasó y perdió la partida, no entiendo cómo Capcom sigue con este error asqueroso del juego.

I was really looking forward to 2XKO, so I signed up for the Closed Beta a couple months ago, little did I know I'd move to Linux right before getting chosen. D: cmon Riot, allow Vanguard on Linux!!

I gotta say tho, Linux so much better than Windows its not even funny. No more forced ad bloatware, so much freedom to customise! Its great gaming on my distro (CachyOS) and weighing it in with the cons, I'm a happy Linux gamer now :D

So I have an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless controller (supports 2.4GHz and BT) that I was using in both modes on the native linux build on bazzite. However, for whatever reason the LT and RT (dash) buttons do not work or rarely work properly. There is also issues with scrolling the inventory as well for RB and LB but those work perfect outside of it. These issues disappeared only after connecting an xbox controller wired. But that one has an issue where if I disconnect or reconnect it, it also exhibits the same issue as my 8BitDo.

I've tried disabling steam input and such but to no effect for the linux build version. I've also made sure the controller was independent of the issue by checking on the 1st game's linux version and it works flawless there.

The only sure way I got it working was switching to proton but that's not really the native linux build. I am fine with that but I would like to know first if people have had this issue as well. Are there solutions to it? How likely is it that Team Cherry will resolve these inconsistencies for the linux version?

the comparison with windows is soo bad... spikes, input lag, 50% lost performance and so on. i am doing something wrong? i tried switching the cs.sh to wayland but it really doesnt improve a little bit (using fedora workstation) but this is all over any distro (tried on mint, fedora kde/mate/xfce, all same results) anyone knows a fix for this? would appreciate it!

The latest minecraft bedrock preview has a change that could make it easier to run this game via stuff like proton. Theyre finally moving the game from UWP to GDK (Game development kit)

The first build is the latest minecraft preview for windows as of 11/9/2025

So, im wondering, will this make it easier to run the Windows version of it on linux? im not a pro at linux or anything, i just switched cuz microsoft is bad. but i do like the bedrock edition in addition to java

i think GDK will make it more win32 like, so with wine and proton, could it run? yes, it does need xbox services, but atleast the base game being GDK should help

link, if it helps

GDK Update on Windows Minecraft Preview now runs on the latest GDK (Game Development Kit) This update aligns the game with the standard distribution model on Windows platforms File paths have been updated and upon first install load of this version of Minecraft Preview, your existing Minecraft worlds and content will shift to: %APPDATA%\Minecraft Bedrock Preview Some players will still receive the UWP version of Minecraft Preview as this slowly rolls out for testing If you encounter issues, please report them at bugs.mojang.com.

by the way, if this is the wrong place to post this, tell me, im a noob

EDIT: Sorry, i found that this is a duplicate one of [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux\_gaming/comments/1ncw91d/minecraft\_bedrock\_win10\_is\_now\_a\_win32gdk\_app/). sorry i posted without reading. dont calcel me (i dont know how things go on here)

I recently used some of the hardware in my PC to test against my wife's broken PC to find what was wrong. Now, when I try to launch games I get this black screen on my primary monitor and green on my secondary and all the fans on my case and GPU keep spinning at full speed. I then normally have to force shutdown with the power button and drain flea power to get it to boot normally. Does anyone know where I should start for debugging?

I tried to connect my Joy-Con pair to my machine running Linux Mint 22.2.

It seemed to work initially and my machine said that it connnected, but I noticed that the lights on the Joy-Con are still blinking (as if it's in pairing mode) and there doesn't seem to be any data being transmitted (based on what Bluetooth Manager is showing). If I turn off Bluetooth and turn it on again, then connect the controllers, sometimes it will say there's an input/output error, other times the Joy-Con repeatedly connect and disconnect.

I already tried to upgrade kernel from 6.8 to 6.14 and it didn't change anything.

I'm using the built-in WiFi/Bluetooth from an ASUS TUF GAMING B850M-PLUS WIFI.

Five minutes into SB and of course it overheats. After stress testing this thing on Windows 11 last weekend, never had this problem, so guessing chipset drivers?

Anything someone interested in me testing out?

On Arch Linux, Dota 2 launches and then freezes at the very first Dota/intro logo. If I reboot the PC, it launches fine afterwards. I've been running Dota 2 flawlessly for the past 2 years...

What I’ve tried (each tried separately):

• Launch options: -novid -autoconfig
• One-time OpenGL test: -gl -novid
• Disabled overlays/layers: toggled off Steam Overlay; launched with MANGOHUD=0 ENABLE_VKBASALT=0 VK_LAYER_PATH= VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS= %command% -novid
• Cleared shader cache: removed
• Verified game files in Steam
• Fully quit Steam and killed leftovers (pkill -9 steamwebhelper gameoverlayui pressure-vessel dota2)
• Tried forcing Proton Experimental for Dota
• I’m using the Steam runtime (not steam-native-runtime)

My system

• Distro: Arch Linux (fully updated)
• Kernel: (current Arch stable; 6.16.5-arch1-1)
• DE: KDE Plasma 6.4.4
• CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (proprietary driver) Driver Version: 580.82.07
• RAM: 32 GB

Anyone can help me please?

I'd like to put Bazzite on the spare-parts desktop I've hooked to my TV. The only piece of software that still ties me to Windows on that machine is Genshin Impact. I know that it's possible to run on Linux but finding up to date and reliable information on the topic is kinda hard, even with a good grasp of the search tool. I've found stuff about the Steam Deck, not a lot about desktop distros, and the few things I've managed to gather are all over the place and often already out of date.

What's the current status of running Genshin (and other Mihoyo titles) on a Linux desktop? What's the recommended method to install it? A dedicated launcher like Twintail Launcher (the anime game launcher seems to not be maintained anymore), a tool like Lutris or something else for installing Windows apps and running them via Steam? Are bans still a thing (if they ever were)? I've read that Mihoyo's actually been doing some Steam Deck/Linux specific bugfixes recently, is that true?
