Can't use wayland for eduke32?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30 Mar 2025 - 12:33am

I'm using cachyos and trying to run eduke32. For some reason on wayland I only get sound and no display, but on X11 it works as it should. Is there a way to fix this or does eduke not support wayland, I can't find any information about this.

Will the nvidia situation improve on linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29 Mar 2025 - 11:51pm

Hey there, after using linux for several months now, with tears in my eyes, i may have to switch back to windows 10 just because I am tired of dealing with nvidia shenaningans and davinci resolve sucks on linux for my content creation. Do you think the nvidia situation will improve in the future? The amount of stuttering and glitching i experience is getting on my nerves man. I love linux but i just cant deal with it anymore lol. I also hate microsoft so im cooked

Performance issues (new to linux gaming)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29 Mar 2025 - 11:17pm

Hello, long story short: Recently decided to switch to linux, games run... not great. For example this very same benchmark would've given me above 100 fps easily on windows (notice the low setting), and I know I'm the one doing something wrong because I've read people praising how well this game runs on linux
Laptop: Gigabyte AERO 16 XE5
Linux: Mint 22.1 Cinnamon 64 bit

Proton: GE 9 26

✅ Nvidia drivers properly installed through the driver manager
✅ Performance mode selected in power settings
✅ Nvidia performance mode selected in the little nvidia icon on the taskbar

✅ No additional software running in the background

any and all advice will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

VR on Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29 Mar 2025 - 11:14pm

So I've recently started trying out Linux on my gaming PC (went with Zorin OS first since it seemed closer to Windows in feel so my transition over would be a bit easier). I've been enjoying it so far and haven't had a ton of issues.

One of the things I didn't think about though was VR. I have a Valve Index headset that I'm hoping to set up again soon. What are others' experiences with VR on Linux? Is it just as straight forward as it was on Windows and am I overthinking or is there additional hoops I'm going to have to jump through? Appreciate people's input!

What makes a gaming distro a gaming distro?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29 Mar 2025 - 10:51pm

Let me explain. I've heard that Nobara, Endevaur, and Garuda are gaming distros. What do they do differently?

I've been using Arch for a couple of years and haven't had any issues with any games, old or new (I have had to make a few tweaks with Wine and Protontricks, but nothing too complicated). I have an RTX 3050 that hasn't given me any driver issues or anything.

My question is, What do these gaming distros do that I could replicate on Arch that would improve my gaming experience?

Thanks for the comments.

Fallout 4 Glitches

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29 Mar 2025 - 9:37pm

I run Linux mint and use a wired Xbox controller when playing Fallout 4. I also use proto proton. For last few days anytime I leave my spawn in point from my last save it freaks out. I used my phone to take a pic. The picture plus flashing and flickering.

My game Snakeloop, a minimalist puzzle game inspired by Snake where you have to eat your own tail, released on Steam with Linux & Steam Deck support.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29 Mar 2025 - 9:09pm

Hey, I just released my minimalist puzzle game Snakeloop and it has native Linux support and is also compatible with Steam Deck (although it hasn't been marked Verified yet by Steam, it was fully tested on my side).

The game is a puzzle game with a simple concept, it's Snake but your goal is to form a loop by eating your own tail. It features 90 levels with a good variety of mechanics & twists as well as modding support for player-made levels.

Trailer

If that's your kind of game, then you can check out Snakeloop on Steam

Building a **controller friendly** HTPC for media and parsec game streaming - what distro?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29 Mar 2025 - 8:59pm

I have recently retired my trusty old i5-3570 machine from NAS duty and had an idea to convert it into a multifunction media machine for my living room. The system has 16gb of ram and only the integrated gpu, it is quite dated but I will only be streaming games to it, not running them directly on this machine. Ideally I would like it to be a game streamer via parsec and movie/music streamer through plex. I want it too be as controller friendly as possible. I have considered SteamOS but not sure how usable it is in its current state. What other options do I have? Like the post title states I want to put emphasis on console-like experience and ease of use with an xbox one controller.

Rockerbacons MO2 for non-Bethesda games?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29 Mar 2025 - 8:04pm

I want to use Rockerbacons MO2 for Stalker Anomaly but it seems to be very tailored to Bethesda games only.

Will it work for non-Bethesda games too?

How to I give Prism Launcher (flatpak) access to VLC?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29 Mar 2025 - 7:36pm

I have a mod that requires VLC to work (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/watermedia) but since Prism Launcher is a flatpak it doesn't have access to VLC. How do I give it access with Flatseal?

nVibrant - Digital Vibrance for nvidia under Wayland

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29 Mar 2025 - 7:31pm

Wanted to give a shoutout to a guy who kicked off an awesome project two weeks ago to enable digital vibrance in Wayland for nvidia gpus, it is working seamlessly in my laptop. I've set it to a value of 256,and works as expected just like on windows! It's fantastic to see such a straightforward yet effective enhancement for Wayland users. Huge props to the developer for this amazing contribution!

Steam games overheating to 212F on Dell XPS 5520

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 29 Mar 2025 - 7:21pm

I'd like to really get to the bottom of Steam games locking up or nearly locking up on my Dell XPS.

My favorite games are the Loathing games and those have no problem. Every single other game I've tried, including ones I wouldn't think would be that taxing, starts to lock up as the temp goes over 210 F.

The machine has one of those hybrid Intel / Nvidia things (yes I know, didn't want Nvidia).

I run Arch Linux with Sway. Twice I've attempted to make sure it was even using the Nvidia and twice I messed up, had to arch-chroot to get the machine bootable again.

Note that nvidia-settings at least in my setup doesn't seem to provide anything at all useful.
