Hey everyone,
I'm the dev behind Ludaro, a weird little roguelike based on Ludo that we’ve been building for a while. A while back we released the first demo, and honestly... the feedback was brutal. But fair.

Many of you said:

• “Feels too luck-based.”
• “There’s not much to do each turn.”
• “Where’s the strategy?”

So… we went back to the lab.

And now, I’m kinda terrified (but excited) to share what we’ve changed:

• You now roll THREE dice every turn.
• You pick one die to move your pawn… and the other two to trigger weapons – yeah, we added weapons. Not guns or swords, but dice-powered effects that do cool stuff like score points, boost multipliers, or modify tiles.
• Every turn is now a puzzle. The randomness is still there (it’s dice, after all), but now it’s about how you use it.

We’re still tweaking and tuning – which is why I’m here.

Play the new demo here
Trailer if you’re curious

If you’ve got 10–15 minutes and enjoy roguelikes like Balatro, Dicey Dungeons, or just want to see a weird spin on Ludo… I’d love to know what you think.

What’s working?
What still sucks?
Would you play this again?

Thanks for reading, and for being brutally honest last time. You helped us shape this into something way more fun.

— Amit (dev on Ludaro)

Hello!

I have a Linux laptop and a Linux desktop. I want to stream a game from my desktop to my laptop. I have tried both Steam and Steam Link (standalone app).

Both are installed through Flatpak.

When I connect an xbox controller to my laptop, I expect the input to be sent to the game running on my desktop. This does not happen. However, I can navigate through the Steam Big Picture mode absolutely fine with the controller and, if I test the controller in the menu, Steam does receive the inputs.

I can play games directly on my laptop/desktop with the controller attached and that works. I assume something is broken in the passthrough? Maybe drivers or permissions or something?

Have any of you tried Debian Trixie which will soon be the new stable version of Debian?

I've had my gaming machine upgraded to this version. What I notice is that KDE has been upgraded from 5 to 6 without me seeing much difference. I also notice that Wayland still doesn't work. And that Godot still hasn't made it to version 4.
And everything is working as it should inlcuding all the games I have tested (both native and via Proton 10 beta. As you would expect from Debian.

In other words: A boring version where I can focus on playing games instead of focusing on what OS I am running

I have played The Alters on my Minisforum AI X1 Pro, and it runs smoothly with FSR set to quality and the Frame Generation on the medium preset. I really like the concept of this game, and it still looks good with the settings I mentioned.

I am on Linux Mint 22.1 and I use Steam and Bottle for Epic Store games. Most games work, however, some behave weird.

Dead Island 2 (Bottle/Epic Store): I can load into the game, interact with menus but once I try to start the campaign it

1) does play the intro trailer (black screen) and when I skip it, it

2) freezes at the character selection screen. Weirdly enough, I can see the buttons to switch between characters. Once pressed though, they dissapear and the screen freezes. But if I click where the button were I can still hear the sound of them being clicked. (The Human Resource Machine, which I also use Bottle for, works with no problem)

Borderlands 3 (Sream): the game itself works fine but when I try to invite my friend to play we both can't connect to one another. I thought this was because it is locally hosted but when playing One Armed Robber it does work to connect to one another (smiliar with other games from Steam.

Is there anything yoi suggest trying? If you need further system information to assess my situation I will happily provide them. Thanks!

Doom:TDA released an update yesterday that now offers a simple benchmark tool. Because I read that the game runs better using amdvlk I wanted to test that myself and indeed that seems to the case.

Now I'm wondering. I normally use the radv driver for everything. Are there any other known games that run better with the amdvlk drivers? I imagine it has something to do with the forced ray tracing?

Results using amdvlk 2025.Q2.1

Results using mesa 25.1.4

You have to hand it to indie devs, they sure do keep coming up with weird and wonderful looking games.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

i am using Kubuntu 25.04 wayland, keyboard is Dark Project 87 Fuji (site) cz and us layout, Minecraft is launched with Modrinth, Minecraft version is 1.8.9 with Optifine and i am using laptop MSI Pulse AI 16 C1VFKG. The problem is when i will start pressing key like "w" and want to press "1" or something like that it wont work, when i will stop, then it will work again. In the chat it is working and it isnt working in inventory either. Also i cant edit JVM arguments and Enviroment Variables in Modrinth.

I did research with ai (Claude, ChatGPT) i couldnt figure it out. I tryed two other keyboards, switch layouts (to us) and it didnt work, and tryed using different lancher, didnt work. Then i tryed reinstalling Minecraft, Modrinth, Optifine but still didnt work or remove Optifine and reinstall openjdk and zulu, didnt work. I also asked on 2 communities Ask ubuntu and Modrinth discscord, but noone answered. (On the discord is second video from modrinth not working)

I am trying to solve this thing for 2 weeks, so any help would be apriciated.

I've read that you have to set __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATION=1 but I have yet to see a post where to do that? Is it done through terminal or something else?

I have an integrated Radeon 780M (not the best but mostly playing online game at MID)

I am using AMDVLK should I switch to RADV for better fps? Does it guarantee more FPS?

In this video it seems not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAIzRlhvijU

And Should I also enable the aco shader compiler?

I’ve installed some repacked games on Lutris and am running them using Wine-GE. However, I’ve been facing persistent input issues. The games constantly switch input modes — for example, the UI keeps flickering between showing the X button and the Spacebar, and neither input actually works when pressed. In another title, the icons keep toggling between Xbox and PS4 controller layouts, making gameplay frustrating.

I considered running the games through Steam using Proton instead, but ran into a different set of problems:

With Steam Input enabled: The game displayed Xbox controller icons, even though Steam correctly recognized my PS4 controller. Interestingly, rumble worked fine both in-game and in Steam’s controller configuration.

With Steam Input disabled: The game correctly displayed PS4 controller icons and seemed to recognize the controller properly, but rumble stopped working — both in the game and in Steam's settings.

So far, I haven’t been able to find a setup that gives me both the correct input icons and working rumble. It's been a bit of a juggling act trying to get everything working smoothly.

Let me know if you’d like a version tailored for a forum post, bug report, or support ticket.

This guide will go over how to install the RSDKModManager for the the RSDKv3 (Sonic CD), RSDKv4 (Sonic 1, Sonic 2), and RSDKv5 (Sonic Mania) decompilations.

Step 1: Install Wine and Dotnet

First you need to install wine and winetricks which can be done very easily on debian with

sudo apt-get install wine winetricks

Then you need to install dotnet through winetricks with

winetricks dotnet45

Step 2: Run the RSDKModManager with Wine

Now you can simply run the RSDKModManager with if you are in the same directory as the Mod Manager with

wine RSDKModManager.exe

Important Notes:

Some important things to mention are that one-click mod installs don't work using this method meaning you still have to manually put the mod files inside the mod directory of the decompilation but it still provides an advantage in that you can still enable/disable mods and adjust the mod order without needing to edit a .ini file manually

Hey everybody, I'm gonna start by saying that I'm an absolute noob in Linux. My idea was to dual boot my PC with Windows and Linux (using Debian as distro), so I could use Windows to play games and Linux to work/study and everyday use basically. I wanted to install Debian on my external ssd, which is also the one I use to download games (on windows), so my idea was to partition the SSD and install Debian in that partition. Does that make sense, or it's a complete waste of memory? Should I format the SSD and install Debian on the formatted SSD? Should I install it on my internal SSD where windows is installed? Also, how do I manage the Bootloader, do i need to install it on my internal SSD or it's ok to install it on my external SSD?

Thanks for helping!

It stutters often. I've tried it on a few different proton versions. Sometimes it's ok, sometimes not. Sometimes it feels better on X11. On Ubuntu and such I had to install the 32 bit architecture but on arch that doesn't seem to be a thing you need to do. Any tips on getting it running smoother?

I'm new to Linux and I'm trying to figure out how games work on Linux, the one I'm struggling with is Team Fortress 2 which sometimes works but freezes before the menu appears, other times it works but tells me I have to turn off unsafe mode and I don't know how to turn it off. And I'm sorry if my English is not good submitted by /u/Gonn4s
