Retro Gaming Setup with Server

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27 Nov 2025 - 3:17pm

I have a PC, which I want to use as a Homeserver running Debian and Webmin. But I also want to use the same Pc with Retro Arch or Steam connected to a PC. How do I set that up the best way cause the server would also run while not needing to output to the tv, so it wouldn’t need to start a gui and I also at best want to control the gui just with a controller or webmin(-Terminal). Is Debisn even the best Distro for what I'm trying to achieve and should I maybe dual boot two distros?

Zenless Zone Zero suddenly stopped working?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27 Nov 2025 - 2:16pm

Edit: I switched to Proton Experimental and the game starts again. I also cleared the in-game file cache, so it's downloading the internal files again. I will report back if this fixes the problem permanently or if it dies after one session again.

Hi, I'm running Bazzite and I've installed ZZZ via Lutris. Using the default runner, Wine_GE_8_26.

It has been working perfectly for months, I've got 120 hours listed. But now it crashes instantly on launch.

The interesting thing is, the game recently updated, yes. But after updating I was able to run the game for one session in the new version. It only started crashing after that.

I've tried changing to GE Proton and some of the other runners, but no luck.

Has anyone experienced this? Any advice on how to troubleshoot?

Thanks!

I’m looking for an alternative for wired VR connection on Linux.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27 Nov 2025 - 1:46pm

¡Hello! I’ve spent many hours trying to get USB wired VR to work on Linux. Apparently, there’s better compatibility with WiFi connections than with USB. I’ve been trying to configure ALVR, and I’ve used every option in the official guide, but the only thing I’ve managed is a very buggy Wireless connection. It also disconnects intermittently.

I know it’s not a USB issue because the PC detects the device at all times once it’s connected.

My operating system is CachyOS, I use a Meta Quest 3, an AMD 6600 GPU, and a Ryzen 7 5800X.

I’m looking for alternatives from users who play VR on Linux and are more experienced with this, because maybe someone has gone through the same situation and found a viable solution.

I know I could use a wireless VR alternative on Linux, like WiVRn for example, but my WiFi connection is not good enough for VR and loses a lot of data.

It’s a shame that there’s still no official VR support on Linux, since Linux makes much better use of the hardware compared to Windows, which would result in a smoother experience.

For now, I’ll create a Windows partition until I find a Linux alternative.

Less of a gaming question but its been bothering me

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27 Nov 2025 - 12:54pm

I run KDE on Arch and 97% of the time it is going great.

however especially when there are notifications / active file transfers i experience either Plasma crashing and recovering. or just hanging Typically only noticed by me seeing the time has stopped.

Is there a good way to figure out what is causing this issue? i can't seem to find any logs for plasma itself?

Specs. kernel 6.17.9-zen

Making the jump

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27 Nov 2025 - 12:01pm

Hiya everyone.

I have a history with Linux, it's been something I use mostly for Dev Work. I actually have recently jumped over to CachyOS from Zorin and busy ricing that up for some personal upskilling/passion projects. Loving it so far considering it's only been 2 weeks.

I have my PC dual booted with Windows which is mainly for gaming. Now I realize this post is probably entirely redundant so I understand getting flack for that. I have 3 SSD's on my PC, 1 x 2TB where I store my games, 1x 1TB for Windows and the other 1x 1TB for Linux. I want to switch over to Linux for gaming so I would most likely be Dual booting to either another CachyOS setup but for gaming or Bazzite (Maybe SteamOS once that's fully released for PC's). My main concerns are:

A. Taking the jump - It seems most of the games I play are supported on Linux, I am however unsure mainly because my girlfriend uses my PC for the Sims 4 which she mods the heck out of. I think the Sims 4 works on Linux but I am unsure about the Modding integration with Linux, she uses The Sims Mod Manager and a quick googly showed it doesnt have a linux version.

B. The usual CachyOS vs Bazzite question. Kinda need something that just works (would customize or rice it a little bit maybe), but for gaming it's usually just PC on, Discord on, game launch, lets roll. Thus Bazzite seems like a good way to go. I have a 4070 Ti Super and a 3440x1440p monitor, I don't frame peak I do have a little bit of anxiety about the jump considering that while I trust linux for my dev work, gaming + having an nvidia gpu maybe cause me some issues?

My solution in mind for me right now: Easiest solution would be to triple boot my system, Windows stays on the 1 TB, Bazzite or Cachy gaming on the 2TB and then my dev focused CachyOS rice.

I would like to be rid of Windows but I do plan on doing some photo and video editing in the future and Affinity doesn't seem to have a Linux port yet, Davinci seems alright on Linux and luckily I use Figma and Canva on web already. I guess the worry is that if I dive in completely and middle finger Windows, I might run into some limitations with some apps that aren't supported (I would guess a VM would be the way here, I just haven't used one before so not sure how reliable it would to go that route).

I worry I haven't actually asked any questions of substance here but maybe a few nudges in the right direction so I fully commit and maybe any insights if anyone has modded games (bonus for the Sims 4) on linux.
