Logitech G hub

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 Feb 2026 - 1:35pm

Hi guys The other day I installed Zorin and Mint on my Pc (made a partition for each) just to see if it worked as it should on my AMD machine. But I ran into a problem with my Logitech G933 headset. Without the G hub program, I should only get "some" sound, but the volume was very low and only in one ear. Tried using wine to install the program, but it did not do anything. Do any of you guys have any suggestions on what I can do, or if I have to skip linux for now?

This may be the end for the Rocket League on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 Feb 2026 - 12:33pm

Out of boredom, I was scrolling through SteamDB this morning and got curious about what games Epic has acquired and hasn't treated them with the kernel malware yet. To my surprise, I found this under the Rocket League. So far, this looks like a change only for the Windows build, but it means that users with Heroic or legendary launchers will no longer be able to launch the game since it's running under Proton and we know Tim very well and his approach to the Linux community. This is the changelist: https://steamdb.info/app/252950/history/?changeid=33486621

We may have our last moments to play the game on Linux and the Steam Deck properly before the disaster strikes. How much time do you think we have left to enjoy playing the game? Will it flop as GTA V did with Rockstar implementing Battleye and completely cutting off Linux and Steam Deck users?

CLF3 Wabbajack Native Rust 0.0.4 Release More Game Support(Experimental) And Bug Fixes.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 Feb 2026 - 9:03am

TES3 (Morrowind) BSA files are now supported and morrowind lists should be installable now.

Applied some fixes for FNV And Oblivion lists as well and should now also be installable. Tested with Viva New Vegas and Heartland Redux.

BG3 lists should now be installable.

Fixed the GUI text overflow issue, and fixed the NSFW box not working as intended.

Still in my future plans are to, automate the install of TTW and put it into the modlist and activate it. To also do BSA decompression if a modlist requests of it automatically. Port OpenMW lists to skip MO2 and fully setup and configure OpenMW linux build.

And a note ontop of this as I'm getting closer to this I should be hopefully getting the Nexus Collection integration put back in as well and will take a closer look into it.

Arc Raiders Voice Chat

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 Feb 2026 - 8:55am

Just found out that turning off IPv6 allows you to talk in arc raiders, but for some reason, it only works with either party chat OR proximity chat, never both (sometimes neither), and it seemingly chooses at random which one wants to work. I've tried changing from toggle to hold to open, and always one of them doesn't work. Obviously I could just work with it, but it's still annoying. I use nobara with nVidia graphics drivers. Any other advice?

I am trying to play Helldivers 2, but it wont launch after the new update. Please help.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 Feb 2026 - 8:15am

Okay, so i cant launch the game after the newest update came out, and i got no idea why. I have updated everything (nvidia drivers and software). I played helldivers 2 literally 2 days ago and its now acting up?

I went from windows 10 to ubuntu, so i have NO idea what im looking at. (though, i take it that the logs wouldnt change much at all.)

I tried proton 9.0-4 and it didnt work. no idea what im doing though, tbh.

my pc specs are:

RTX 2060 6gb
I7 7700
32GB ddr4

Best way to consoleify my setup?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 4 Feb 2026 - 7:28am

Hi, now that we are in 2026 I'm getting excited for all the new steam hardware. I own a steam deck LCD and absolutely love it. Now my whole life I've been a console gamer not a PC gamer. I enjoy playing games on the TV with a controller from the couch. I don't enjoy sitting at my desk. So ever since I joined the PC ecosystem in 2019 I've been trying to make the perfect gaming console for myself.

Over the years I've tried different solutions. Back in 2019 with my rtx 2060 I just had a wireless keyboard and mouse that I would keep next to me on the couch for when windows did what windows does as I play games.

In January of 2023 I got my steam deck and for the first time I finally found a device that would allow me to have that console like experience. Game mode, track pads, instant wake/sleep, and the whole ecosystem around the steam deck was so perfect.

In 2024 I was gifted a new system and sold my old one and now had a 4060 but windows hasn't really gotten better at PC gaming on the TV. I eventually found out about software called universal remote which allowed me to use my phone as a keyboard and mouse removing any need to keep a keyboard around the couch. But not every game still worked with a controller. Found a new one called gamesir g7 pro which has windows software allowing me to map all inputs including the back paddles as keyboard inputs (amazing for modded Minecraft) and assign joystick as mouse.

With the rise of Linux in 2025 I wanted to try and switch over and ditch windows but in search of a console like os, bazzite was totally broken in game scope on the 4060 so I stuck with windows. Late 2025 with all the AI shit and windows copilot I wanted to try bazzite again but this time purchased an Rx 9060 xt 16gb to see how well the amd setup works. Unfortunately it's still kinda janky for me. Kde connect doesn't work in game mode and I couldn't get tailscale to run in game mode either AND the software for the gamesir controller doesn't have Linux support either (but steam input can take it's place).

So now I'm here where it still feels janky whether I have an amd gpu or not and I'm debating if it's still worth keeping my 9060 XT (can return until March) or if I should return it and sell my PC in favor of getting a steam machine later this year. Thanks for listening to my story and I hope y'all have some input that can help me make a decision as a serial over thinker.
