Mouse for linux that is supported by piper? not sure if this is technically the right thread

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. November 2025 - 09:09

so piper exists as a way for people to rebind things with their mouse on linux

issue: piper has a limited support list https://github.com/libratbag/libratbag/tree/master/data/devices

Black friday is coming up. I was wondering if anyone had any linux mice suggestions for under 40 bucks?

(I considered looking at things like Ali Express for things like Logitech G102/G304Bluetooth. Issue is when I looked at the reviews. "Fake g304 obviously, cannot create custom dpi settings. Which is perfect, this is what i wanted, thank you so much! I love this fake mouse! I will cherish it!". So I am not sure that will work with Piper XD)

any suggestions?

I tried to use input remapper.. I am just as dumb as a bag of rocks thats why I am looking for a mouse that can be supported by piper so I can rebound my keys properly for ondemand multi clicks and rebinds

Linux / AMD RX6600XT / HDR /Diablo IV (battle.net version) someone got it working?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. November 2025 - 07:13

I can confirm the Linux detect the GPU well and the proprietary driver is working, also HDR is available and active in system settings, but Diablo won't detect it. It runs very well, but without HDR.

Did the most recent update break anybody else's steam?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. November 2025 - 06:38

Since installing the latest update, Steam fails to launch. I'm using CachyOS. Steam seems to hang while trying to launch and eventually shows the crash recovery window.

If I check stop I can see that steam has initiated two localedef processes that are each consuming 100% of a CPU core. These can only be killed after killing all other steam processes.

I can't really find much information about localedef, other than it is used to set charset encoding. My system locale is set to en-GB.

Does DSC (Display Stream Compression) in OLED displays cause any trouble on Linux with Nvidia cards?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. November 2025 - 05:15

Hi guys.
I'm on Arch with Hyprland and RTX 4070Ti.

Gonna finally switch to OLED screen soon. It's gonna be ASUS XG27UCDMG, which is a 27 inch 4K QD-OLED, and has HDMI 2.1, Display Port 1.4, and runs at 240 Hz. Obviously it uses DSC at 240 Hz, but it can also work without DSC at 120 Hz. I'm gonna use it with DSC at 240 Hz on my Arch with Hyprland.

I know that some Windows users say that generally everything is cool with such monitors, but there's a caveat with the screen turning black when, for example, you're alt-tabbing from a full-screen game to desktop. There are a few other minor things, but I don't care about them.

So I thought it'd be better to ask here about QD-OLED screens and Linux.
Do they work well together on Arch with Hyprland? Does QD-OLED's triangular pixel shape cause any trouble? Any scaling issues?
And what about Hyprland specifically? It has workspaces, and you can switch between them quickly. Will the screen go black for a few seconds when you move focus from a workspace with a full-screen game on it to another workspace?
Any other known issues?

Would appreciate everyone's feedback 👍

I want to quit Windows and need help choosing the right distro

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. November 2025 - 04:21

So, my main use is Game but I study programming and I intend to continue in this area. I'm looking for a distro that is mainly good for games but also has compatibility with programming tools.

Waydroid not working on Nobara Linux (Fedora 42) at all. Hardware is Ryzen 9 7945HX3D + NVIDIA RTX 4090 Laptop

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. November 2025 - 03:53

It just starts to a black screen. I see some people saying it has issues with dual GPUs which I'd find weird... I mean, what app in this day and age would have an issue with that?

Any of the common fixes suggested do nothing like: waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.multi_windows true

Getting Reloaded II (P5R) to work at all on Linux Mint Cinnamon

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. November 2025 - 03:41

I'm having an issue with reloaded II straight up refusing to work no matter what. I'm using the linux-setup exe from the github, I installed it using proton tricks, the launcher opens up fine but even with no mods whatsoever it refuses to actually launch the game. At best it opens the game for a few seconds then it immediately closes. I'm at my limit and nothing I look up helps. I got it to work a few times but then it just stops working the next time I try to boot the game and now it wont work at all.

I've tried reinstalling reloaded II dozens of times, I've tried different proton compats on steam, I've verified the game files, I tried using no mods, and I know I don't need the distrubitables bc they come packaged with the linux setup. Nothing works and I'm at my wits end. Can anyone help?

CachyOS/Linux Newbie looking for a Software / Tool / Script solution.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. November 2025 - 03:19

Greetings Linux Community.

I'm desperately trying to find a software/tool/script but searching for it has not brought up any results and I was hoping someone of you might have come across something similar to what I'm looking for.

On Win11 I had a AutoHotkey script that used a 10x10 pixel .png to play an alert whenever these pixel sequences showed up on a pre defined space of my screen.

I used it to speed up a repetitive task in Path of Exile where I had to roll multiple times for a Icon to show up which then triggered the Script and played a soundbit to let me know that it showed up on my screen.

I tried to use ahk_x11 but all it gives me is a error when I try to use the same script.

Thanks in advance and stay awesome

Got Linux Mint working on my gaming rig

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. November 2025 - 03:12

I got Linux Mint 22.2 with KDE and fully migrated from WIndows 11 to work on my gaming rig. It runs all of the games that I want to run perfectly well.

Specs

ASUS ROG X870E-E Gaming Wifi

NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB OC

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X

G.SKILL Trident DDR5-6400

Lots of storage

There were a lot of issues that I had to work out and fix, including NVIDIA drivers among other things but I got it to work. Everything except for my Soundblaster sound card and my MediaTek MT7927 NIC works just fine.

This was a pain in the dick and is not for the faint of heart.

So I have a few questions about steam os with online gaming and VR gaming. (Questions in body text)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. November 2025 - 02:02

So with windows 11 not letting me update past h24w2 and how h25 and h26 updates are doing a good job at convincing me to make the switch. I have a few questions before I wipe the 8tb of games I have.

1: with switching to different games my main concern is that with I play online with a lot of games. The two main anticheats used are easy anticheat and battle eye for GTA online. Will the anticheats allow me to use Linux?

2: I am barely tech literate when it comes to windows 11. Would steam os need to use the scary terminal?

3: is messaging apps like discord compatible?

4: how easy is it to learn?

All games using proton fail to launch unless using steam flatpak.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. November 2025 - 01:35

I've been gaming on Linux for several months now without much issue, but overnight all games that use proton have stopped launching. I was playing ME3 last night with no issue, went to bed, woke up, and nothing worked.

I am on Fedora 43 using the steam package from the repository (not the flatpak).

Symptoms:

  • Every proton game that I've tried is affected
  • Games with native linux clients work fine, unless forced to use proton
  • Some games will just say "launching" forever, some will say that they're running, but never actually start.
  • Downloading an affected game ends with "finishing" forever
  • This appears to affect every version of proton
  • This happened after attempting to stream to a PC in my living room for the first time. This is likely a coincidence.
  • This happened after doing a few small system updates. I can't remember which ones though.

Troubleshooting I've done so far:

  • I've checked every log I can think of, and they all seem normal. It's as if the launching process freezes just before the game actually starts
  • Reinstalling the game does not fix the issue
  • Reinstalling Steam does not fix the issue
  • Reinstalling linux (not including home directory) does not fix the issue
  • Renaming $HOME/.local/share/Steam and recreating it does not fix the issue
  • Creating a new user with a new home directory does not fix the issue
  • Running steam from the flatpak DOES fix the issue, however I've avoided the flatpak because it makes it a lot harder to use things like modloaders and gamescope

I'm stumped. I can't even seem to narrow down where the issue resides. If it were in the user profile, creating a new user should fix the issue. If it were outside of the user profile, reinstalling linux should have fixed the issue. Neither of those have worked. If anyone else has run into this issue or has any ideas how to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated.

SOLVED! This was due to a bad mesa driver update. A downgrade solved the issue.
