Need recommendation on Linux Distro

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Sep 2025 - 3:13pm

I'm thinking of switching over from my Windows environment to a Linux distro. But I still wanna run steam games. So hoping any of you guys could help me find a distro that can run all Steam games.

I heard of Bazzite Linux. But I don't know well enough about it to go ahead with it. Is there any other distro that can help with the same?

Can you run two instances of a game to force split screen?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Sep 2025 - 3:06pm

I love playing split screen games on my TV with my SO but almost no PC games support it.

I'm wondering if Linux can enable this capability with some trickery.

I was initially thinking of running two VMs and setting their resolutions set to half the screen... But of course, GPU sharing for VMs is an enterprise feature so that's not possible.

I actually thought about buying a second GPU to pass through to a VM and getting an HDMI multi-view adapter to split the screen - but that's kind of dumb.

Given Linux containers can share a GPU, is there a solution through containerization? I know I can use something like LXC to containerize an OS, but I'm not sure if graphical applications can be containerized like that.

Any ideas?

Controller Fix for Silksong?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Sep 2025 - 2:36pm

Title. To be clear, I think it's awesome that I can run Silksong without proton. However, when I don't, right trigger works as a toggle when double tapped only and I can't tap it for midair dashes, instant use, etc. I also get no rumble without proton.

However, when I enable proton, all pre-rendered visuals are now broken. Does anyone know of a better fix?

This is Amazing - Some of 2025’s Biggest Game Releases on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Sep 2025 - 10:16am

I know Linux still has some problems, like Nvidia driver issues and the annoying anti-cheat situation.

But for me (having used Linux since 2014), this is something I never thought would happen - some AAA games even work on day one now.

I would also prefer more native Linux builds - like what happened with Hollow Knight: Silksong and Cronos: The New Dawn - which was very nice. But for sure, Proton has really been a game changer.

We are eating good, guys!

Xbox Series X controller is bugging out when using it with Xpadneo

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Sep 2025 - 9:46am

I am on Arch and I have installed Xpadneo driver to connect my Xbox Controller with it

When I first boot into the system, it works perfectly fine but right as I disconnect and reconnect, the Right and Left triggers stop working

I am connected via bluetooth so maybe thats a problem.

The rest of the buttons and sticks work fine, only the triggers bug out, it is working fine on my windows machine so there isn't a problem with the controller.

Anyone got ideas on how to fix this desync? Thanks

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 6 Sep 2025 - 9:45am

I have been trying to create a convoy and invite my friends to it in forza horizon 5 and the friend list isnt actually appearing.

I am aware i can invite my friend through xbox app, but he is on playstation. (or xbox)

Is there a way to make the friend list/friend option pop up for me to choose who to invite?

Another thing, is how do i accept invites? Problem is, is when i recieve an invite to a convoy, i need to accept it somehow and where will the invite even go without xbox overlay?
