i am running the (Draw Steel) Codex on Linux Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and am running into the following issue:
as soon as a map is opened the GPU usage explodes to around 100%. therefore everything is lagging, ventilation is going crazy, let alone trying to open a second director or player window, ...
has anyone experienced the same problem and can maybe help?

It's the morning after the Steam Controller released standalone, it's getting sold out in various regions but it may not be alone for long.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

May not belong to this sub but I didn't get much help on the VFIO sub so I'm posting it here. I was successful in setting up single GPU pass through on EndeavourOS. I am using a GTX 1650 Super with Nvidia 595.58.03 drivers.

I have switched to CachyOS recently and I cannot get it working here. I am using the same setup and scripts as before but it doesn't work here. Whenever I try to boot, my GPU detaches from the host but does not bind with the VM and hence I get a black screen. I couldn't figure out a lot from the logs as they were quite similar from the ones I had on Endeavour OS.

My setup: Libvirt + KVM, windows 10 ISO and this script.

Is it something to do with the Cachy-OS kernel? It had worked flawlessly on Endeavour OS.

Hi everyone,

Frustrated with running MO2/Vortex through Wine, I am building a native Python/GTK4 mod manager for Steam games on Linux.

It currently supports:

- Bethesda games (Starfield, Skyrim SE, Fallout 4) via Proton/SFSE

- BepInEx games (Planet Crafter, Craftopia)

- Stardew Valley (with SMAPI auto-install), RimWorld, 7 Days to Die

- NXM link import + Nexus Mods update checks

- Drag & drop load order, mod profiles, clean uninstall tracking

Still early alpha. Rough edges exist.

GitHub: https://github.com/pyromeister/Linux-Steam-ModManager

I added a wiki and if there is any requests you can add them, i am trying to build the systen in the final state even with steam deck support (so i can play modded games there too 😄).

I am open for any Feedback and/or contributions, especially if you want a new game added!

Thank you

For me it was chasing every tweak and turning the machine into a hobby project.

Fewer extra layers, snapshots before bigger changes, and waiting a bit on major updates has been way calmer than trying every shiny fix.

Genuinely curious what habit you dropped that made your setup more stable.

Currently I am trying to decide on whether I want to use Arch or Bazzite for my current PC setup.

I have a Nvida 5060 8gb gpu with 16gb of ram and a intel i5-14400F
Performace isn't really a big deal to me, but from what I've heard; Nvidia is horrible with supplying GPU drivers for linux, and I really want a SteamOS like desktop environment (I know It's KDE-Plasma) and I have installed arch before for a school laptop.

I've also seen that Bazzite is very intuitive with installing drivers for everything, but I don't know if I can install everything arch can on bazzite, because on my steam deck that I used for a while, I couldn't install everything that arch could through the command line. I still to this day do not know why, but I got around it with some help but it still sometimes won't work.

I also am unsure if I even should switch from windows to linux because these are the games I would have a bit of trouble running:
- Rust (I can only the dead linux servers)

- VRChat (Mixxed results on my steam deck)

- Beat saber (I own it through the meta store so I have it on stand alone and pc and I can't install the meta link software on my steam deck)

Everything else I play I've played on my steam deck and I know would run just fine, but it's just that windows eats 8gb of ram and I have lots of ram issues when playing on my system.
Please help!!

I know Bottles and Lutris are a lot easier and far more hassle free to setup, but I'm also trying to get Wine to upscale older games to to the monitor like Bottles/Lutris seems to be able to do flawlessly.

I'm using a wayland session, under an X11 session Wine upscales games to fit the monitor pretty perfect, but under Wayland they end up as a tiny window in the top left corner of the screen.

I've tried enabling the Wine Wayland driver, but this just makes it into a bigger window that fills only half of the screen.

Games using DXVK upscale pretty perfectly too, but there are many games that are too old to use Directx 8/9/10/11, so they cannot be upscaled.

Virtual Desktop does not work, this just makes it into a tiny window that I can drag around which is better but it's not the fullscreen I am after.

So what the heck does Bottles/Lutris do that enables them to go fullscreen on any desktop and how can I make this work in stock Wine?

Bottles/Lutris are not using Gamescope as I don't have that installed, so how are they doing it? I've also confirmed that Bottles/Lutris are using X11/Xwayland, which stock Wine also uses, so they are not using the Wayland driver.

I'd really love to know what trick they are using so I can replicate this in stock Wine and get proper fullscreen support from it.

I'm extremely new to Linux and had some confusion with all of the different elements at play while getting this game to work. Figured I'd at least document my findings so new, eager windows deserters can have some fun sim racing too! This guide is aimed at Bazzite specific installers. There are already guides out there for CachyOS and others like this one which helped me out a lot!

1 Install Le Mans Ultimate via steam as normal.

2 Custom proton install with LMU fixes
2.1 Download GE-Proton10-34-LMU-hid_fixes tar.gz folder
https://github.com/JacKeTUs/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton10-34-LMU-hid_fixes

2.2 Extract the tar.gz folder from /home/YOURUSERNAME/Downloads/ to
var/home/YOURUSERNAME/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/

2.3 Restart Steam

2.4 Open Steam, right click on Le Mans Ultimate > Properties > Compatibility > Check "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool"
Select the newly added "GE-Proton10-34-LMU-hid_fixes" in the dropdown

3 Socat script to fix IPv4 vs IPv6 issue with 1.3x LMU game version
3.1 Create wrapper script (paste this in konsole)
nano ~/.local/bin/lmu-socat-launcher.sh

3.2 Paste this into your konsole window (now nano window because its like a plain text editor, Thanks to Qwen 3.6 model for the script)

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Start IPv4 -> IPv6 bridge in background
socat TCP4-LISTEN:6397,fork TCP6:[::1]:6397 &
SOCAT_PID=$!

# Launch the game (Steam passes the full command via $@)
"$@"

# Clean up socat automatically when the game exits
kill $SOCAT_PID 2>/dev/null
wait $SOCAT_PID 2>/dev/null

3.3 Press CTRL+X to exit > Press Y to save modified buffer > Press Enter to write to file: /home/YOURUSERNAME/.local/bin/lmu-socat-launcher.sh

3.4 Make this script executable (paste this into a fresh konsole window)
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/lmu-socat-launcher.sh

3.5 Configure Steam launch options to now utilize this script when launching Le Mans Ultimate. Open Steam > right click Le Mans Ultimate > Properties > General > paste this in the launch options section

bash ~/.local/bin/lmu-socat-launcher.sh %command%

4 Close the steam pop out window, launch and enjoy the game!

I noticed with some games in particular after I wake my PC from sleep and launch a game, if it is a game where I control the camera with my mouse, sometimes the game will act like I am going over the edges of my screen. It is odd and inconsistent.

For example: I cannot turn a full 360 degree circle, instead it stops at like 180 or so (I can face backwards) then won't let me continue to turn, instead I have to turn all the way around the other way and the same thing happens. While playing a game, the camera will also randomly change where it wants the borders to be. There's been times where I'm stuck with my camera looking halfway toward the sky and it won't let me look any further down.

I run Fedora COSMIC spin
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
Radeon 7900XT

I have steam installed natively.

Launching games with

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%

doesn't seem to make a difference.

The issue goes away if I restart my computer, but appears to return if I launch the game after waking the PC from sleep.

So, I am entirely new to Linux. The distro I'm using is Ubuntu, and I installed Sober. In the menu it works fine, no lag, no input delay, it's golden. However, when I opened a game that my computer typically struggles with (on windows 10) it performed worse. I had a noticeable input delay, the audio sounded similar to an 8 bit game, and it was quite laggy.

My computer has 8 gigs of ram (I think ddr4 laptop stuff) and intergraded amd graphics. The BIOS is a simple or non complex one? So, xmp isnt a option.

Let me emphasize this again, I know nothing about Linux or Ubuntu. I literally installed it today, by using a USB my uncle sent me.

I would appreciate any advice or tips on how to troubleshoot this.
