Hey, I’m planning to try Linux and would like some advice before setting it up.

My specs: Ryzen 5 5700X Radeon RX 9070 XT 32 GB RAM 2 TB SSD with Windows 1 TB SSD where I want to install Linux

What I’m trying to do: I want a dual-boot setup with Windows and Linux on separate drives. Gaming is the main focus on Linux, but I’ll also use it for normal stuff.

Questions:

Which distro would you recommend for gaming on this hardware?

Is dual-booting on a separate SSD usually painless, or are there things I should be careful about?

Can Linux access and run games that are already installed on the Windows SSD (Steam/Proton), or do games usually need to be installed again?

Any issues with everyday apps like Chrome or Discord?

I’m not a total beginner, but I’d prefer something that doesn’t require constant fixing or risk breaking my Windows install.

Thanks for any input.

Wireworks might be the most unique tower defense game I've ever played, with you building up weapons from modules you wire up to different logic blocks.

Been playing Fallout Tale of Two Wastelands with a bunch of mods (including the Wasteland Survival Guide preset with several other mods on top). However, recently when I've been playing, I've been hearing really strange and unpleasant noises like the ones in this video clip.

I've asked in ModdingLinked and The Wasteland Supplemental Discord servers but haven't been able to get any help. Does anyone have any idea how to make this not happen short of muting the game entirely?

I'm on Ubuntu 25.10, using a computer with an AMD Ryzen™ 5 7640U w/ Radeon™ 760M Graphics × 12 and running the game through gamescope. My command line in Steam is:

gamemoderun gamescope --force-grab-cursor -r 60 --backend sdl --nested-unfocused-refresh=60 -- %command%

If I should provide more info please let me know. Everything else has been alright so far besides this problem...

Idk if you guys have the same problem as me but my controller (ZD-S Super Legend) when i plug in my PC running Bazzite, the OS keep detecting it as XBOX 360 and also Nintendo Switch controller too which mean it's conflict? Steam doesnt show up any my controller btw, but when i do the same thing on Windows, it just straightly recognize my controller as Xbox One controller and works perfectly

Hi everyone,

I recently switched from Windows to Fedora and I’m setting up my games through Lutris. My PlayStation-style controller works fine over Bluetooth (it’s detected and inputs register), but I’m struggling with remapping buttons the way I used to in DS4Windows.

What I want to do

Swap triggers and bumpers:

L2 → L1 and L1 → L2

R2 → R1 and R1 → R2

Start/Options issue: the Options/Start button doesn’t work properly for me, so I’d like to map Start/Options to the PS button.

Profiles / per-controller behavior: I want something that supports profiles (per game or per controller), so that if a friend connects their controller, it stays default (similar to how DS4Windows can manage profiles per device/user).

What I tried

Steam Input: didn’t work well for my case because I’m launching games via Lutris, and dont open

Input remapping tools: I tried one (input reader/remapper) but I couldn’t get the mapping to work the way I need (especially for triggers / swapping L1-L2 and R1-R2).

Question

What are the best options on Fedora/Linux for:

Remapping a controller at the system level (or per game),

Handling triggers/bumpers cleanly,

And keeping separate profiles per controller so guest controllers remain default?

Any recommendations Thanks!

So WoW runs like a dream on Bazzite + Faugus + GE-Proton…

…but Battle.net’s login window acts like a confused indie app: flickering, hanging, sometimes taking minutes just to let me log in.

Tried prefixes i found on the internet, turning off hardware accel, some env var magic. Only thing that fixes login is WINED3D, but then my GPU goes on vacation in-game. :/

Anyone figured out how to tame this login monster on Proton/Wayland?

I’m running Debian Unstable (sid) with an RTX 4070 Super and I’m trying to use DLSS Frame Generation on Linux via Steam Proton.

No matter what game I try, the DLSS Frame Generation option is always greyed out. I’ve tested several Proton versions including GE-Proton, but nothing changes.

My NVIDIA drivers are fully up to date, and I’m using X11

I’ve also heard from multiple places that you might need to do something with Lutris to make DLSS Frame Generation work on Linux, but I honestly don’t know what exactly that means. I’m still pretty new to Linux gaming, so I’m not sure if that’s about launch options, libraries, or a completely different setup.

So my main question is simply:
Is DLSS Frame Generation actually usable on Linux right now, or is it still basically unsupported / broken even on RTX 40-series GPUs?

REMOTE CONTROL has you send human proxies to explore a derelict spaceship, as you type out your commands and explore it all gets a bit weird and spooky.

So I need to replace my motherboard on my gaming rig and I went with the Asus TUF Gaming X870-Plus - but now that I'm looking around I can see some notes here and there about issues in Linux particularly around the WiFi card. In February 2026 is there anything outstanding that folks know about?

I am completely new to Linux and would like to use lossless scaling on star citizen. How the fuck do I activate this? I installed the Linux version, opened the gui, selected the right dll and starcitizen.exe and nothing happens.

Hi, I’m trying to figure out a camera smoothness issue in Minecraft Java Edition.

The game runs at a stable 60 FPS most of the time, but the camera movement feels slightly “stepped” or subtly granular. It’s not a major stutter or FPS drop — it just doesn’t feel fully fluid.

The camera feels like it “moves” instead of “glides”. When I make very small mouse movements, I can clearly notice that the rotation updates in tiny increments or steps. It almost feels like it slightly “teleports” to the side in small sections rather than smoothly sliding.

This causes a mild visual discomfort and feels strange to the eyes, even though performance appears stable.

This happens:

• In vanilla (no mods)
• With mods (Fabric + optimization mods)
• On both the dedicated GPU (NVIDIA MX350) and the integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe)
• At stable 60 FPS
• With VSync on and off
• With FPS limited and unlimited
• With different sensitivity settings

System details:

• OS: Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon (X11 session)
• Laptop: Acer Aspire 5 (N20C4)
• CPU: i5-1135G7
• GPU (dGPU): NVIDIA MX350
• GPU (iGPU): Intel Iris Xe
• Internal 60Hz display

It does not appear to be related to FPS drops. The FPS counter usually stays at 60, but the camera still feels slightly quantized at all times.

This is not a major stutter or lag spike — just a persistent micro “stepping” sensation in camera rotation.

Things already tested:

• Clean vanilla profile
• Switching between dedicated GPU and integrated GPU
• Different FPS caps
• VSync on/off
• No background applications running

Is this normal behavior for Minecraft Java on Linux / 60Hz / X11, or is there something specific I should investigate (raw input handling, mouse polling rate, compositor settings, frame pacing tools, etc.)?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I know there is the simagic-ff gitrepo which seems to be upstreamed to recent kernel versions, but this seems to only work with the older Alpha wheelbases, not with the Alpha Evos.

Has anyone here got those to work? I just bought them to replace an old T300RS and love them so far. They work, but without FFB, a direct drive wheel is kinda pointless.

I'd hate to have to switch to windows just so I can keep racing :'(

I have tried installing simagic-ff and I am running Fedora 43 with Kernel 6.18.6-200 at this moment.
