Other News about gaming on Linux
I used to have a corporate job where I made PowerPoints all day. I quit to pursue game dev full time and have just released the demo for my Windows 95 themed factory game about...making PowerPoints
A big playtester asked for a Linux build so I made one for the demo!
You can check it out here.
IGN also covered our launch trailer which was pretty crazy.

Bizarre de-noising visual in Hogwarts Legacy
What it's supposed to look like
Way too much de-noising (I think it's called de-noising)
Hey, I just picked up Hogwarts legacy as the weekly free game on Epic Games and I'm playing it through the heroic launcher. The game runs great but the only issue I'm having is this weird de-noising effect on everything. I've tried 3 different wine versions ( GE-Proton10.26 & -10.11 & Wine-ge-8.26) no dice. I also tried tweaking in game setting (dlss on/off, image sharpening, anti-aliasing, rtx on/off) to no avail.
I don't even know where to start trouble shooting this.
System specs:
Linux 6.17.9-zen1-1-zen
Arch Linux x86_64
KDE Plasma 6.5.4 (Wayland)
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
NVIDIA RTX 3070

Getting Hori Alpha to recognize within Steam?
Hi all,
I have a Hori Alpha Fight stick, I'm attempting to get it to recognize within Steam under Linux on my PC. I am running Fedora 42 and when I connect the device I do get a KDE notification that a "USB device Hori Fighting Stick" has been connected.
However when I go into Steam settings, Steam shows no controller detected. Big Picture Mode affects no change with this either.
I know with my Vitrix Gambit Xbox Gamepad I had to install the "Xone" linux kernel driver for Xbox controller support for it to connect, which works fine for that device. I have been searching and have no idea what driver package might be the right one to attempt for the Fight stick however to recognize in Steam.
Again, it seems to be detected by the OS itself, just not within Steam. (Oddly enough) I also tried toggling Steam Input for Generic Controllers to no effect.
Thanks for any input (pun intended) to point me in the right direction!!
The Fight stick is this model: https://www.amazon.com/HORI-PlayStation-Fighting-Stick-Alpha-5/dp/B09RQV4786?th=1

PowerTuner
Hello all,
The missing bit in linux gaming, a tuning app with fine-grained controls.
Client-Daemon model that enables remote control.
A classic desktop client, a gamepad first client for couch gaming and handheld devices (with Text To Speech accessibility feature, enabled by default), and a CLI client to allow scripting too, and more...
Because Windows only anti-cheats are a thing, and in some cases you may want to play those games, PowerTuner is a multi-platform application, so that you don't have to look for something different and learn multiple apps.
The code was made with multi-platform in mind, so should be easy to add support for more platforms.
PowerTuner is fully open source, 4 years of slow development, this is the first public release.
You can find release packages in release repo, pinned in home.
I'm using it in my devices since months, while developing it, but the app quite big, so there may be bugs, take this as a beta app as of now.
This is not in any way a finished app, lot more planned stuff will come in future.
Hope someone will find it useful :)
Thanks for reading!

Is Bazzite suitable for general daily driver use? Or is it almost exclusively focused on gaming?
Looking to finally ditch Windows for good, so I’m looking for a distro. I’m not a complete Linux noob but I’ve only used Ubuntu and Mint previously, and only on secondary devices for very simple tasks. And WSL on my main PC. But this is the first time I’d be relying on a Linux OS for everything.
I need a distro for my main PC that can handle gaming, but also video editing (DaVinci), image editing (Krita), and audio work (I use Ableton currently but would gladly jump over to a decent FOSS alternative), and just general use and file crunching etc. is Bazzite suited for this? If not, is there anything you’d recommend as an alternative?

WoW keeps switching to wrong monitor on Linux (Wayland + NVIDIA) - Windowed and Fullscreen modes
Hello everyone,
I’m running World of Warcraft on Linux and am having a persistent display issue where WoW keeps switching monitors unexpectedly.
System details:
Distro: Ubuntu 24.04
Desktop session: Wayland
GPU: NVIDIA (RTX 50-series)
Driver: NVIDIA 580
Laptop: Lenovo Legion Pro 7 (AMD)
Displays:
External ultrawide monitor (Secondary, via HDMI/DP)
Built-in laptop display (Primary)
Issue: When launching WoW or switching display modes, the game frequently moves itself from my external monitor (which is set as the secondary display in the OS) to the laptop’s internal screen. This happens even after (I have switched them around and this doesn't address the issue):
Setting the correct monitor in WoW’s graphics settings
Running the game in fullscreen and windowed fullscreen
Rebooting and relaunching the game
The desktop environment itself behaves correctly — only WoW is affected.
What I’ve tried so far:
Switching from Xorg to Wayland (Wayland is more stable overall for me)
Verifying the correct primary display in system settings
Testing fullscreen vs windowed fullscreen
Updating to the latest NVIDIA proprietary driver
Restarting the game and the system multiple times
Additional notes:
The issue does not appear to be a hardware problem (both displays work normally in the BIOS and desktop)
Other games and applications do not exhibit this behavior
The problem seems specific to WoW’s handling of displays under Wayland/NVIDIA and Steam with Proton Experimental for the Battle.net application.
Has anyone else experienced this issue on Linux? If so, are there any known workarounds, launch options, CVars, or config tweaks that help lock WoW to the correct monitor?
Thanks in advance for any help or insight.

Hola alguien que me pueda ayudar con este problema por favor? lo hace con todos los juegos que intento ejecutar se queda ahi y no hace mas nada
Any way to check non-steam game compatibility?
I love Steam but prefer to buy from Gog when the option is availible. I also have a lot of free games on Epic.
Is there any way to check compatibility if I'm not using Steam?

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 LHR - Stopped working correctly after driver+kernel update
inb4: yes I know it needs to be recompiled and I recompiled them.
Problem is that any program, either via Steam+Wine or native, won't use at all vram, and performance is very low, basically nothing works. NVIDIA card doesn't load at all textures to vram, fan is very slow, practically turned off, and generally load is like it wasn't at all used. I have nvidia propertiary drivers installed, this drives me insane currently, because I have no idea how to fix it. It worked before.

Game crashing (only one) : Supervive
Hello !
I play Supervive on Linux Mint and regularly just crash (frozen screen, game not responding), after a while (45min to 1h I'd say).
I'm playing using Proton 10.0-3 (the only version I found that launches the game, GE doesn't run it on my computer). I don't have any error message and the system report doesn't give me anything.
Any idea what could be causing this ?

Controller Suggestions
Hi all, in the process of converting to Linux (I've flipped between Arch and Windows 11 multiple times in tbe last few days) and the one thing I'm struggling to decide on is a controller.
For PC I was was all in on razer, have a Naga Pro mouse, Huntsman Mini keyboard, Tartarus Pro (for WoW) and a Wolverine V3 Pro 8K.
So far on Linux I've decided to ditch razer due to no official support and despite the excellent work of the openrazer folks only 2 of my 4 decides work. So mouse I've gone Keychron M6 8K and K3 Max.
Now I need something to replace my Wolverine V3 Pro 8K controller (I list the full name as there's several varients with different support), as this probably will never get full Linux support. I'm having trouble finding reliable information on what controllers work, I like the look of the GameSir G7 Pro but not sure it works, does anyone know?
If not are the any recommendations? Ideally I'm after something wireless with TMR sticks, microswitch buttons, hall effect triggers and decent rumble.
