R2 (right trigger) causing left mouse click all the time

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Jan 2026 - 1:36pm

So basically I'm gaming on bazzite desktop on my new PC connecting a dualsense edge controller. I noticed that by default the conteoller works (touch pad and trigger as mouse) which was cool

my issue is when I enter steam clicking R2 on my PS controller shows up for a split second, left click and then disappears. the problem is that WHY is this happening? I don't want mouse mode.

Because it even happens in all games... for example a game that requires clicking R2 to trigger ultimate sometimes counts as left click and for a moment the icons on screen switch from controller (X A Y B) to keyboard inputs (R Q Z etc...) for a moment until I register any input on controller then it goes back so whenever i click the right trigger this keeps occurring...

any idea how to stop this? I tried searching and couldn't find any similar problems so I'm lost on this one...

Tried disabling desktop layout on steam. Didn't work

Tried disabling the other layout (forgot the name) and that didn't work + could no longer press PS button to go to.home screen so it was a no.

My only assumption is that it is caused by bazzite because of its default controller connection?

questions about gaming on linux after complete switch from windows

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Jan 2026 - 12:25pm

I just made my compete switch yesterday night and now about to install the first game deadlock... but i have no idea how I should go about the drivers and if they work out of the box like in windows. I have heard and read in faq that proton works even with windows only games in steam... I am curious if the fps is better or worse on proton/linux... so if someone with the same(or different) distro could give me some tips on how to go after a fresh install it would be really nice...

Distro=gentoo(dont know how installing stuff is gonna be like since proton likely is in the repo)

Richard Burns Rally on Intel HD 4400

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Jan 2026 - 11:48am

Hey , everyone. I play rbr rsf version on windows on my ancient laptop and it gives stable 60 fps on most stages at medium settings,720p. I tried making it work on MX Linux but couldn't. Is there a way to run this game at same performance as windows. My laptop is painfully slow on windows 10 , but works like a breeze on most Linux distros. I can't afford a new one , being a student in a third world country. Thank you.

Problem setting fan speed using LACT (or CoreCtrl) on rx7800xt under NixOS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Jan 2026 - 10:38am

Hello Everyone!

Lately I got gigabyte rx 7800xt second hand, and it has a problem of not reporting the fan speed correctly, it stays at 0rpm, or 16bit integer rpm...

Under windows, I can manually force the speed using MSI Afterburner by setting the fan curve and then turning on the "A" option, which is what makes the fans start following the curve

the magical \"A\" option that starts spinning the fans correctly

That is hovewer my secondary system I use only for playing games with anticheat...

Under my Linux (NixOS) I have tried using CoreCtrl and LACT, unable to set any speed manually, doesn't matter if I set it to automatic, curve, or static speed, it seems to still rely on the reported fan speed, not just setting the pwm. Is there any way to mitigate it? any way to force the fan speed other way? I do have overdrive enabled:

amd.overdrive

here is screenshots from LACT:

lact - static

lact - curve

lact - auto

If anyone is willing to help, or share any ideas I'd be super grateful. Thank you all in advance awesome people!

I need to try more games, but what I've seen on my Debian is pretty good. What do you all think? Both distros have optimized kernels.

Update on the Adobe CC Installers Patch - Now the Collection Installer works too

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19 Jan 2026 - 9:04am

Bins: https://github.com/PhialsBasement/wine-photoshop-installers/releases/tag/adobe-collections
Code: https://github.com/PhialsBasement/wine-photoshop-installers (TLDR for changes: msxml is even more lenient than previously thought, had to patch the implementation to reflect that)

Only ones which failed to install are Adobe XD and Fresco due to them being APPX/UWP applications.

Quick How-To

Option 1: Steam Compatibility Tool (Recommended)

Extract to Steam's compatibilitytools.d folder

mkdir -p ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d

tar -xzf proton-*.tar.gz -C ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/

Restart Steam

Then in Steam:

  1. Add the Adobe installer as a non-Steam game

  2. Right-click → Properties → Compatibility

  3. Select the extracted Proton version

  4. Launch

Option 2: Standalone (without Steam)

Extract anywhere

tar -xzf proton-*.tar.gz -C ~/proton-adobe/

Set up a prefix and run

export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-adobe

export PROTON_PATH=~/proton-adobe/proton-*

Run the installer

"$PROTON_PATH/proton" run /path/to/Adobe/Set-up.exe
