Install mods on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. November 2024 - 16:47

Hey guys, everything okay? I'm a new Linux user, I use the Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS distro. The only thing that bothers me is downloading mods for the Reisident Evil games. The game in question is R3 Remake. The FluffyModManager software has an .exe file to run it, but Linux does not open this file. Can you help this poor beginner Linux user?

Boot from iGPU, pass through dedicated?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. November 2024 - 16:16

Hoping someone can give me a definitive answer here.... is it possible to boot a debian host using an amd iGPU, and pass through an AMD GPU to a kvm guest?

I'm in the market to upgrade my gaming rig, but I have certain requirements. I'd like the host system to be based off of the new 9800X3D chip, and use the iGPU for all things linuxy. Windows will run as a KVM guest, and have an AMD GPU passed through to it. Critically, both systems must output displays at the same time.

I'm assuming this is easily done, but I've never dealt with an iGPU like this before, so I'd like to ensure it's doable before I spend the money on the hardware. My doubts come from the fact that my current 1600x-based system MUST have a gfx card in the first slot (the only x16 slot), but then that slot CANNOT be used as gpu passthrough because then there's no display for the host system. I'm hoping that an iGPU solves this problem.

Thanks for the feedback!

Valve + arch dev partnership prediction

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. November 2024 - 15:12

I'm betting that valve and arch dev will release a true Linux Gaming desktop distro. To help centralize Linux Gaming. Which is clearly needed. Since every new users are always confused about what distro to chose for gaming.

But when it comes to game store we all know to chose steam first 🤭.

A centralize Linux Gaming distro makes absolute sense. And valve is the company that can do it to perfection.

Is there a gaming distro optimized for controller that doesn't rely on Steam? (Looking for a distro to install on my handheld)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. November 2024 - 14:16

I just wanted to know if there's a distro that's not reliant on logging into Steam. I know about Batocera, but I just wanted to know if there's any other gaming distros that are optimized to be navigated with a controller that doesn't require a Steam login like Bazzite or Chimera.

Good wireless controllers that work with endeavorOS?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. November 2024 - 12:56

Hi all! I kinda want a wireless controller (possibly with a nintendo layout), but whenever I see them in the store I see little information regarding OS compatability, and I have reason not to trust that anyway.

Reason is I have a wired one which apparently only works on the switch and won't work on a PC, but in reality it doesn't work on my switch at all but works perfectly fine on my PC xD Not sure what went wrong there.

The cable however is super annoying, as much as I like that thing, and I'm thinking of investing in a wireless one.

Do any of y'all use wireless controllers, and what are your suggestions?

Apologies if I used the wrong flair. Edit: syntax
