How would i make a game controller not follow the xbox scheme?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 4:11pm

I got an SHH shifter controller, and the issue i have is that linux tries to make it follow a standard xbox gamepad scheme with a b x y etc, except it doesn't work since it's an h pattern shifter, and 3rd and 4th gear end up not being assignable in games. I have tried it in multiple games with steam input disabled and it keeps doing the same thing. Can i make it become a generic controller with simple numbered inputs? I'm running kde neon

Configuring flameshot

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 2:51pm

Before i swapped i was using greenshot on windows. I had it set up so when i took screenshots, it would automatically create subfolders with the name of the app being captured so everything stayed nicely sorted. Is there any way to configure flameshot to do the same thing?

Genshin Impact doesn't launch through Hoyoplay?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 2:12pm

i'm using wine-ge (also tried proton-ge, same result). I have genshin and ZZZ installed, ZZZ launches perfectly, but when i try launching genshin, the launcher minimizes for a few seconds and maximizes back. I use Lutris to run the launcher. The game launches with wine staging, but it's not a viable option because staging breaks the game.

Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16ARX8 – Anyone running Linux on it? Fedora Atomic + Wayland/Hyprland?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 1:29pm

Hey everybody,

Thinking about picking up the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16ARX8 and curious how it plays with Linux. Specs look solid:

  • Ryzen 9 7945HX
  • 2×16GB DDR5 (upgradeable)
  • 1TB NVMe SSD
  • RTX 4060 (8GB)
  • 16” WQXGA 240Hz display

I’m mainly a backend dev who also plays games (Steam, retro, indie, maybe some modded stuff), and I want to daily drive Fedora Atomic (probably Sericea or Kinoite) on Wayland with Hyprland.

I know NVIDIA on Wayland can be rough, but I’d like to stick to the integrated AMD GPU (780M) for desktop + dev stuff and just use the 4060 when gaming.

So I’m wondering:

  • Anyone here running Linux (especially Fedora or Wayland) on this machine?
  • Any issues with gaming performance, battery, thermals, or GPU switching?
  • Does the 240Hz screen behave properly on Wayland?
  • Anyone tried Hyprland with this setup?
  • General hardware compatibility: Wi-Fi, audio, suspend, etc. — all good?

Would love to hear if it’s a good daily driver + gaming hybrid for Linux folks, or if I should look elsewhere. 🙏

9070XT or 5080

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 12:46pm

Hello together,

The last 7 years i had a 1080Ti running on W10. BC of the W10 EOL i wanted to switch to Linux, i bought a 5080 and a new NVME and was running it with CachyOS quite well - only had some bugs on OV2 (TTS, ingame voice, saving highlights). Unfortunately i had to return the GPU after 2 Weeks bc it wasnt displaying graphics output in the bootloader when fast booting.

Now i swapped my 1080Ti back in which is stuttery on linux and i'm back to W10.

I need to reorder a new GPU when i want to play on Linux - what would you recommend cus im still struggling with the decision.

A Nvidia 5080 or an AMD 9070XT ?

Struggling to get Monster Hunter Wilds to run on Linux Mint

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 14 Apr 2025 - 10:52am

I'm trying to get Monster Hunter Wilds to run on my system (see image). I see people that say it works for them since Proton Hotfix has been updated a few days ago but I still get a crash shortly after the shaders are compiled, I already tried using PROTON_LOG=1 %command% and see if there's anything telling in the logfile but at least my untrained eyes don't spot anything glaring.

Yesterday I also tried it with Proton GE 9-27 and this launch option VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 %command%

and I managed to get into the main menu at last but when selecting "Start Game" it always crashed in the loading screen right after. (Freezes my PC for a long while until eventually the game and steam crash) Usually I find a fix when googling a lot but this one has me stumped. People report that it's just working for them with Proton Hotfix (new version released a few days ago) so I'm helpless. I'd be very thankful for any hints, even if it's just some ideas for better troubleshooting.
