Touhou EoSD looks blurry when using vpatch to blow up windowed mode to 1280x960
Now this is pod racing!
Recently started playing Redout 2, mostly in the living room on the TV. I wanted to try it out on my Triple 32” 4K setup with a bezel hiding kit from Etsy, that I use for work and for sim racing (180° fov). I tried running redout at the full width (11520x2160), but it was so stretched and I had no vertical fov In the game, I couldn’t see where I was going! So I settled for 32:9. 6144x2160
My screens are scaled at 125%, so I need to use the native Wayland driver to allow for the game to be rendered at 4K and scaled correctly, otherwise the game renders at the functional resolution, and is blurry due to it rendering at non-native resolution.
Without the Wayland driver, I am able to size and position the game using a window rule. But that doesn’t seem to work with the native Wayland window, so I enabled a virtual monitor at the desired resolution in the winecfg, and presto the window is positioned and sized to be 32:9 centered within my 3 screens.
I am running Huenicorn to control the lights, Philips hue

Mesa 26.0.3 issues with vulkan games
Mesa 26.0.3 vulkan stuttering issues rx7800xt
is anyone else facing these issues specifically with vulkan games where the game just stutters more than a middle schooler trying to read in front of the class. like detroit become human when I played it a couple of months ago ran flawlessly.,
then when I decided to pick it up today it micro stutted like crazy, I mean the frame time graph was more spikey than my heart rate. the same for rdr2 when playing with vulkan but direct games like re requiem are running flawlessly.
I read online that there is a bug in this driver version that is causing this error specifically on vulkan games. so should I roll back or should I wait for when 26.0.4 will release on bazzite. (I have bazzite stable).
any help would be appreciated.

It is impossible to install the MGS3 High Resolution Texture Pack on SteamOS / Bazzite - wasted 3 hours trying
I need help I'm new to linux
Hello, good afternoon or evening. I have a question and some doubts because I don't know what happens with my games in cachyOS, I have an nvidia graphics card an rtx 2060 super, I have some games bought from me and others that I don't
For example the lethal company what can make it run with the online-fix patch, and I have the Howard legacy I don't know if the game opens in linux but I opened it and loaded it up to the cinematic and then it froze and it also happens to me with game like this cyberpunk, gta v, etc
Someone who can help me how to solve that type of problem I have tried many things, I may have done something wrong there and I have not realized it capable, but I don't know if it is something from drive because I downgraded driver version from the 590 to the 580 of the nvidia drivers and it remains the same
I don't want to go back to Windows, I got used to being in linux, it is already quite comfortable as I have it, but that detail that happens, that thorn, I don't like it....
Thanks for reading, I hope for some help

Online games with active modding and mapping communities? Unique mods, maps, etc.
Sorry if /r/linux_gaming isn't for this kind of post, but /r/gamingsuggestions seems to not be great for Linux questions.
Basically I'm just looking for games that have active (Overhaul) modding communities - a la late 90s/early 2000s FPS games like Half Life, Quake, Unreal, etc.. Where games like Team Fortress, Counter Strike, etc. and maps like climb, rats, etc. got their start.
On top of the overhaul mods I'm looking for active mapping communities that create actual unique and fun maps, rather than just reskins or simple adjustments.
I think Fortnite has the type of mods and maps I'm after, but ... It doesn't work in Linux.
Any and all suggestions are welcome - not just FPS games.

How to make every wine game tile propely?
I use sway tiling wm and it seems like its 50/50 if games over wine/proton decide to tile or float over my whole desktop when minimized.
Is there any way to force tiling?

S&box freezing when loading a map
I just acquired S&Box "Developer Preview" from their main site (https://sbox.game/give-me-that)
Have to force compatibility layer, as the Native will give a "missing executable" error.
The game launches fine but upon choosing a map to load, it freezes permanently.
Tried many proton versions but they all lead to the same outcome.
I've checked ProtonDB, tried many tinker steps people claimed to work, but none did for me.
I use Arch, with Linux 6.19.10-arch1-1, running Plasma Desktop on a Wayland session.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

I listened to your feedback, overhauled DSVP_deck to include full Deck controls, file browsing, and USB/SD support. Keep the feedback coming!

8BitDo 64 Controller Only Works In Wired Mode
So, I'm on Arch Linux and I have a just acquired an 8BitDo 64 Controller (standalone controller and not the bluetooth upgrade kit for original n64 controllers). It works really well for me when physically connected to my machine with a wire. I can use it to play N64 games and everything works fine. The only issue is that I can't seem to connect it via bluetooth.
If I try to put the controller into Bluetooth mode and use bluetoothctl, I can find the controller by scanning, but any attempt to pair with pair UUID gives me the following errors (and a short controller rumble):
[SIGNAL] LE.Disconnected - org.bluez.Reason.Remote, Connection terminated by remote user [SIGNAL] Disconnected - org.bluez.Reason.Remote, Connection terminated by remote userIs there some sort of bluetooth setting I need to set? inxi -xxACGS gives this: https://dpaste.alwaysdata.org/hWJBOgm7

[Question] Windows programs/games safety under Wine
Hello everyone,
I'm quite paranoid about system security. I use Linux as my main system and sometimes I use wine, mainly to run windows games.
I read on the official wine website that it's not virus proof... but is it in terms of virus that runs only inside the windows environment or does it spread over the entire OS, steal browser cookies and session tokens or worse encrypt the entire disk??
If I have a game that I don't trust (or anything else windows related 😅), how do I get a completely VIRUS PROOF environment to run windows program and games (VM is not an option)?
Are Lutris and Bottles completely sandboxed?
Any suggestions are welcome!
(I have done some research, but it's not really clear, and since we are talking about a serious thing, I preferred to ask someone that maybe more informed about it.)

Ubisoft Connect stopped working after April 1st update?
Hello,
I had Ubisoft Connect set up with Heroic Games Launcher, and since yesterday (1.04.2026) I can't launch it.
I've already tried:
- different wine versions (Proton-cachyos, protonGE, proton-cachyos-slr, and wine)
- reinstalling with fresh installer file
When I ran installer through proton-cachyos I got for a brief moment an error about a debugger running in the system. Finished installation anyway and it didn't launch.
Reinstalled it again, keeping the stock wine settings, installation finished without an error, and Uplay launched once. Then I changed it to proton-cachyos for the in-game performance and then it didn't launch anymore.
Other games launch with no problem.
Does anybody has this problem/already found the solution?

I doubt it will help but if you need it, here's my setup:
