Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 19 Stunden 29 Minuten

Newbie here, i am wondering if linux provides support for double gpu usage, one as the renderer, and the other gpu as the video outputer cuz i am going to attach both an lcd and a crt monitor to my setup.

I am struggling at the last boss and my cousin said let me try the boss while he is at his house.He has Windows.I know parsce allows it but on Linux parsce you can't host on it.Also Steam won't let remote play together on single player games. Any else way? Thanks.

I'm really grateful to the Hytale devs for making this possible!
The launcher can be downloaded in flatpak format and the price is not that high, I think that this is a good opportunity to show that Linux gamers are relevant with numbers !

Gaming distros are not that different from 'official' ones?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 21 Stunden 7 Minuten

By looking at benchmark comparisons on youtube it is easy to see that there is virtually no performance difference between gaming distros such as Bazzite, CachyOS, Nobara and non specifically gaming distros such as Fedora, Mint etc.

Seeing that the performance is all within margin of error (about 5% difference more or less sometimes even in favor of the non-gaming distro) would it not be better to use these bigger more 'official' distros, install Steam and be done with it? I feel that this solution would be more stable and better overall simply because the big distros are managed by big teams and avoid employing weird optimizations that might cause system stability.

I now appreciate Limo Mod Manager

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. Januar 2026 - 23:47

I had tried Limo before, more than 6 months ago, with State of Decay 2. And it feels really complicated. I'm not really into modding, and only modded Rimworld and Project Zomboid through Steam Workshop.

Now, I went to try beautifying Cyberpunk 2077, want to make it look realistic. A lot of the mods I found on youtube vids aren't working anymore. I tried the official Nexus Mods but non of the mods are working. I checked other ways but non seems working. Then I went back to Limo. I just add CP2077 through importing it from Steam, then I made a directory in my home path `~/Games/Limo/Stagings/CP2077` as the staging path. After that, I added Nexus Mods API key and made Limo the default app instead of Nexus Mods App. So when I install mods through their site and clicked mod manager, it will be added to the mods in Limo. Once everything is set, I click Deploy under Deployers and leave all boxes unchecked. Then I just have to launch the game. I'm not sure if I can just directly launch the game from Steam because of the Deploy button.

I left the launch options I got when I'm trying out Nexus Mods App as it is really required by this game: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm,version=n,b" %command%

My only concern is it does not support collections or automatic installation of required mods. A bit tedious but it works. Also, I tried modding Dying Light: The Beast a bit and it worked fine. I can say it is easy to use once you learn how to use it.

Game Streaming Challenges on CachyOS w/ NVIDIA

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. Januar 2026 - 23:21

I've recently been going through the process of transitioning my gaming PC from Windows boot default to Linux, and apart from some annoyances wrt my fans/RGB control, I think I'm in a pretty good spot; however, the one thing that's currently holding me back is game streaming.

Previously with Windows, I'd routinely stream to my TV and Steam Deck using Moonlight/Apollo, and tbh it's a pretty great experience, but I'm struggling to replicate it the same way on the Linux side, with the major challenges being as follows:

I can't seem to figure out an "easy" way of managing virtual displays in the same way as Apollo -- I purchased an HDMI dummy plug and set it up with the correct EDID as a attempt to fall back to that route, but I seem to struggle with: Sunshine streaming the correct display, enabling HDR, and managing the activation/deactivation of either the VDD or the dummy display.

I have a 21:9 monitor, so launching the game on a display that fits the aspect ratio of the Steam Deck is very important, and enabling HDR is definitely a 'nice-to-have'.

I've even tried _really_ falling back to using Steam Remote Play; however, that also seems to be riddled with challenges (Wayland related?) where I either get a black screen, or an infinite load on the Deck, despite the game launching correctly (FW rules confirmed, etc).

Question: Is there a way reasonable avenue to match the experience that you get in Windows with Apollo? Could `gamescope` be leveraged to stream Steam _in_ a gamescope session to correctly manage the resolution and HDR settings aligned with the client's request?

Some relevant details:

OS: CachyOS x86_64
Kernel: Linux 6.18.4-2-cachyos
DE: KDE Plasma 6.5.4
WM: KWin (Wayland)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER
Sunshine & Moonlight: Latest versions

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

i have an 8bitdo ultimate C, and it worked perfectly, but then it stopped working. after following this thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/linux\_gaming/comments/1iceer5/8bitdo\_controller\_fixes\_for\_linux\_my\_impressions/) the controller worked again, but only wired. now the controller no longer works entirely. i'm on cachyOS. the werid thing is that it shows up as evdev/0/Nintendo.Co.Ltd. Pro Controller (IMU), but it doesn't pick up any input.
EDIT: what the fuck, it works now

Modding Skyrim The Lazy Way

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 13. Januar 2026 - 20:22

Hello everyone, I somewhat recently went full time with CachyOS on my gaming desktop, and I’ve really got the urge for doing another modded Skyrim playthrough. I understand modding through Vortex is somewhat easy to setup (based on a previous post), but I kind of want to be lazy about it, and instead of doing individual mods, just downloading a pre-done collection of mods. I attempted it already, and it didn’t go very well, nothing would download in Vortex.

Is this some sort of setup/operator error on my behalf or is there some sort of limitation of Vortex running through Wine and everything not having this capability?

Thank you for any assistance or pointing me towards any guides.
