Linux auto-install from windows without having to use a USB (still in work)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Januar 2026 - 17:09

Hey there guys so I created an idea called O-cerxz. Its a batch file in windows that automaticly installs (or should autoinstall) an linux ISO. Using powershell it will extract the ISOs contents and create a bootable EFI file. Rn you have to manualy select the file in the booting screen so you can even accsess the thing O-cerxz made. Its pretty cool idea. Also i though about adding in an autoinstall that VMs also have and autouser creation so you will have to pre config the linux just like Packer for VMs. So the installation will be practicly automated without you ever worring BUT thats an option tho. You can also find me on github by mont127

its an open source project you can try to contribute if you want. But right now im working on it hopefuly it will work!

I’ve basically lived at this desk, and the demo is out on Steam.

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Januar 2026 - 17:02

Ahoy!

Releasing a demo after putting in that much work is always a big moment (Stress, nerves, but I’m good otherwise ^^). Three years since we started this adventure, and I figured: what better way to celebrate than a photo of my desk, where I’ve spent most of that time haha.

Feel free to share any thoughts, especially if you try it on your Linux setup, it really means a lot. You can try Pirates: Rogue’s Fortune on Steam: https://s.team/a/2423280

It works on PC and Steam Deck/Linux. It’s got diving for treasure, ship upgrades, naval fights, and plenty of surprises.

See you at sea!

built myself a new pc and put the ssd from my old system in it, vulkan doesn't work now

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Januar 2026 - 15:19

my old pc had a ryzen 5 3600 and an rx 570, and like 2 months ago my 570 died so i replaced it with a gtx 1650. i have multiple linux systems installed on several ssd's so i wasn't sure if i ever used the gtx 1650 on this cachyOS install specifically, but looking at how the "nvidia-smi" command works, i assume i did use the 1650 with this specific cachyOS install. anyways, all i did was remove the ssd from that pc and put it in this pc, which has an i5-11400 and a 6700 xt. for some reason vulkan doesn't work. none of my games on steam launch, persona 3 reload gives some sort of error about how dx12 isnt supported on this system, the finals just gives a mysterious error message, forza horizon 4 just doesn't boot up at all. i thought it would be fine to just use the same ssd on two different setups, like i wouldn't need to do any extra work or anything. oh and if its relevant, i haven't updated this system in a while, and when i did yesterday, it updated like 6 gb worth of packages, there were like 430 packages updated. idk if thats relevant or not. i hear you need to update frequently or else shit breaks but its been fine? mostly? idk if this issue im having is relevant to that. what can i do? thank you for reading

Is it worth running a VM + Parsec to play with my girlfriend?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Januar 2026 - 14:17

Hey everyone,

I’m thinking about playing Dead by Daylight with my girlfriend. She saw me playing, liked the game and wants to play too the problem is that her laptop can’t run it.

My PC can handle it easily and has the following specs:

  • Ryzen 7 5700X
  • RTX 3060 (12GB VRAM)
  • 32GB DDR4 RAM
  • 512GB SSD

I use CachyOS as my main OS for gaming, and the idea I came up with is this:

Run a CachyOS VM, install the game inside it, and use Parsec (or another remote play software) so she can play remotely from her laptop.

Important detail: I have a 500 Mbps internet connection and a router in my room, so the local network is fast and stable.

Yes, I know it sounds a bit crazy.
But so far it’s the best solution I’ve found for us to play together without having to build another PC or replace her laptop.

My questions are:

  • Is this viable in practice (latency, performance, DBD anti-cheat, etc.)?
  • Has anyone tried something similar?
  • Is there a better alternative?

Any suggestions or experiences are welcome. Thanks!

Lutris, heroic or Faugus?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Januar 2026 - 14:01

What's the best launcher in your opinion and experience?

I'm not considering Steam.

I tried using Heroic but didn't have much success with some games. I find Lutris easier to run, but the range of settings ends up confusing me about whether I'm using it correctly.

I recently used Faugus and found it simpler, but I still have the same doubt about whether I'm using it correctly to get the maximum performance.

W11 to Linux for gaming. Help me choose between CachyOS and Nobara

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Januar 2026 - 13:56

Hey fellow gamers,

As per title, I'm looking for a change of OS in my 30 years of gaming on PC. Always been on Windows.

I've narrowed it down to two very recommended distros these days, but I cannot make the choice by myself.

My rig is pretty new, a 9800x3d and (currently being shipped) a 5080 GPU, 64 gigs DDR5, 1 4k TV, some HDD RAID 1 besides 2 m.2 SSDs.

Things that do hold me back a bit, but I think i found some solutions for, are that i run a custom water cooling controller that doesn't have linux support (Aquacomputer octo) and a Focusrite Solo for mic/speakers. Found some solutions online, hope they will work with whatever distro you choose for me :)

Now, to get accustom to linux, i installed on a secondary PC a Fedora xfce distro (chose this because it's a older PC) to run my plex library, and for the love of god i cannot mount more drives and add them to the plex library. I have to learn alot of commands, sudo this, sudo that... But with small steps, I hope to get there. But from what's I've seen, these gaming distros are more user friendly.

All I wish for from this choice is not having to tinker with it every couple weeks or so. I don't mind reinstalling fresh or anything big every like 5-7 months, that's fine. But not every week.

What would you go for? Are they that close that's only a choice of design?

What’s the best way to limit fps?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. Januar 2026 - 13:25

Now, before you say MangoHud, hear me out lol.

I have tried MangoHud, VKD3D and something called Strangle. And neither of them work for all the games.

For example, if I cap High on Life at 90fps using MangoHud, there is stutter, frame rate drops and huge frame time dips. But if I use VKD3D limiter command, it’s buttery smooth.

Conversely, Marvel Rivals is smooth with MangoHUD and not with VK.

But then comes Ratchet and Clank, which just slight judder with both of them.

Gamescope -r command does not work at all.

I have tried Late and Early frame time options in MangoHud but no joy.

Is there anything else I can use? I really like MH + Goverlay combo but it doesn’t seem to be single solution for all needs.

I am on an Nvidia card with CachyOS.
