Pretty much it. I have ran multiple desktop pets through Wine, and so far all of them have a black background surrounding their sprites rather than a transparent one. I tried searching but all I could find was a single Steam Forum of another desktop pet software all the way back from Late-February of 2025, so it seems like this issue has been going on for a while now. I also found a reddit post on it with a pastebin linked to a possible fix but the pastebin is now missing (404).
Very few desktop pets have linux support and it seems like this issue is fixed for those desktop pets, but the vast majority of desktop pets only have support for Windows that, of course, only work in linux using Wine, which leads to the same issue.
Now, I don't know if Steam has the same issue as it has its own version of native Proton and Wine support afaik.

All the info I could find that could remotely point at the issue is that it's a Wine limitation of Alpha channels.
I'd be pleased to know if there's any fixes to it! Quite literally any help is appreciated!

Kubuntu 25.10
KDE Plasma 6.4.5, Frameworks 6.17.0
Qt 6.9.2
AMD
Wine 11 (winetricks installed for d3dx9, d3dcompiler_43, and d3dcompiler_47)
Wayland

Let me know if I forgot to share any necessary information.

Thanks for all the feedback after the demo release!

I’ve updated the demo with onboarding that guides you through your first delivery. After that, you’re free to explore the demo map, take jobs, and get yourself into trouble.

So if you tried it before and bounced because the start was confusing or too punishing, this should be a better time to give it another shot.

• Demo on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4319290/Void_Cargo_Equilibrium/
• Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qzYDVJQMXc

If you haven't seen it before, Void Cargo is a physics-based cargo hauling game where you fly a first-person lander between remote bases on a hostile moon. You take delivery jobs, load cargo, and try to get it across mountains, fog, wind and hazard zones without smashing the ship into the terrain on approach.

The demo supports Windows, Linux, and Steam Deck. Steam Deck has been my main test device from the start. It plays best with a gamepad, but keyboard and mouse work too.

If you have any more feedback - keep it coming!

I have a 3440x1440 UWQHD monitor that I use as one third of a three monitor setup. I have two generic LG 24" 1080p 60Hz monitors that make up the other two of the three monitors.

I'm running fully updated CachyOS on an R5 5700X3D, 7800XT and 32GB of DDR4.

I've noticed that some of my games, most notably Borderlands 3, will allow me to select 3440x1440 in the display settings, but in game play, parts of the HUD are cut off. For example, when I attempt to spawn a vehicle at the Catch-A-Ride, the bottom part of the HUD including the button to actually spawn the vehicle is cut off, leaving me guessing which key to press to spawn the vehicle since I don't play the game often enough to remember.

Borderlands 3 is not the only game having this issue. I have noticed others, including Borderlands 2 and some others I can't think of at the moment.

I don't know what would be causing this and I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting, as the monitor is configured to native (3440x1440) resolution and the display settings in game are configured for the same. It should be fitting on the screen fine, but it's not.

EDIT: Now that I take a closer look, it appears that only some menus are cut off while others are not. That's really weird. The pause menu screen for Borderlands 3 appears to be fine.

The McpeLauncher dev known as ChristopherHX has gotten Xbox Live Login working on the windows version of Minecraft GDK. They have forked Weather's WineGDK/ProtonGDK to get it working by editing dll's!!! They have named the fork mcpeLauncher-gdk!

Is this a Linux mint problem, or just a Linux problem? The problem goes away as soon as I disconnect my second display.

Ok so, I know that Mad max has a linux native port. But I have a GOG copy of mad max that I had and ran through steam and proton. And given that, the game uses Dx11, so DXVK under proton. But the performance is awful. I've seen plenty of videos of others running this game on weaker specs with double the fps I'm getting. my fps typically stays around the 40's. I've tried different proton versions. but nothing seems to do it. Should I just buy the steam version and be done with it since it seems to work with what little info I could find?

Tested PC Specs:
Ryzen 7 1700 with a slight OC to 3.4ghz
32GB DDR4 3000MT/s

Hey i know ill probably sound dumb but i am a linux noob and im trying to play neveress to everness and it just wont work. i followed this guide here and it worked for a bit. i then close my game and turned off my pc for a bit. i come back and it stops working. ive reinstalled the game and tried a bunch of stuff but nothing works. i either get this japanese error that translates to close the debugger and try again or a white screen with no audio. the launcher opens fine but the game hasnt since i first installed. im using heroic on pop os with a 3060.

Behold! Another vibe coded pile of trash quick proof of concept that game pause can be easily implemented on linux.

For those who doesn't want to watch my or eta's prime video - game pause is a "new" beta windows feature, with same functionality as on Xbox: allows to completely pause games in background, which removes additional GPU load. Cause of that you can run multiple games at same time, as long as you have enough ram\vram.

On linux we had SIGSTOP \ SIGCONT for ages, hence I just vibecoded together simple script that checks Niri events and pauses corresponding process on window focus loss. Probably you wouldn't need to do this, if WM had proper way of triggering scripts\events on focus loss, but oh well.

(and sorry for choppy framerate in Riftbraker, it's just how it is with OBS and GPU video encoding)

So, the missing Doombuilder-compatibility was the only thing keeping me from switching completely to linux.

Is it still an issue?

How hard is it going to be running it, without using a Terminal?

oh, and:

I've read Creative Soundblaster Soundcards don't work on Linux?

is it still true?

Since a recent update on Overwatch i've noticed that whenever i exit a menu such as the comms wheel, my view snaps upwards and about 90 degrees to the right.

I run Linux Bazzite Gnome and im not really too knowledgable on compatibility layers

Any idea what could cause this or how to fix?

Now I've mostly been using windows my whole life but recently it's become more unusable then normal, It uses a lot of ram and it's not like I can just buy more, I've been told to constantly switch to Linux, but my problem is that I mostly play modern shooters on my pc (fortnite, battlefield 6, r6, etc) and I know those don't work on Linux, I've been told to use cloud streaming but my internet sucks, also making them unplayable, any advice?

I'm writing this post because I think it might be useful to many people in the future.

I’ve been recently struggling with random Xbox Controller disconnections on my TP-Link UB500 Bluetooth Adapter. After digging through various forums, messing with xpadneo, etc., I think I’ve finally found a rock-solid solution.

IMPORTANT NOTE: TP-Link UB500 has different hardware revisions, some use the rtl8761b chip, while other variants (like mine) use the rtl8761bu. This fix is specifically for the BU variant, though the process might be similar for both. Check your dmesg to see which file your kernel is looking for!!

The fix that I used:

1. Verify your chip and firmware version: Run sudo dmesg | grep -i bluetoothand look for the specific filename. If you see RTL: fw version 0xdfc6d922, you likely have the buggy firmware provided by recent kernels.
2. Download old firmware: I used the firmware from the liberodark/rtl8761b repository: https://github.com/liberodark/rtl8761b
3. Navigate to /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/ directory. Move any existing rtl8761bu files to a backup folder and copy the new rtl8761bu_fw.bin and rtl8761bu_config.bin from your extracted folder into it.
4. Open terminal in this folder and set these two files permissions with chmod (sudo chmod 644 /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8761bu*)
5. Your system won't load the new firmware unless you refresh the initramfs. In my case, I'm using Fedora 44 so i'm running command sudo dracut --force --verbose.
6. Reboot your system and run sudo dmesg | grep 'RTL: fw version'. My version changed from0xdfc6d922 to 0x09a98a6b.

With xpadneo active (you install it from Getting Started section on it's GitHub page), the controller should work perfectly in all games. I've been using it for a few days on Eden emulator and it's working flawlessly!
