Can't use side buttons on my Logitech G502 HERO

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 31. Oktober 2025 - 14:49

I identified the problem as the generic HID driver taking the device over the Logitech HID++ driver as shown in dmesg:

[ 43.725454] input: Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-4/3-4.4/3-4.4:1.0/0003:046D:C08B.0006/input/input25
[ 43.725517] hid-generic 0003:046D:C08B.0006: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse] on usb-0000:00:14.0-4.4/input0
[ 43.726377] input: Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse Keyboard as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-4/3-4.4/3-4.4:1.1/0003:046D:C08B.0007/input/input26
[ 43.777398] hid-generic 0003:046D:C08B.0007: input,hiddev97,hidraw3: USB HID v1.11 Keyboard [Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse] on usb-0000:00:14.0-4.4/input1

The kernel wouldn't let me unbind the generic driver and bind the logitech driver, so I grepped my mouse's VID:PID in the list of usb ids in the hid-logitech-hidpp driver with modinfo, but it outputted nothing, meaning the driver doesn't even know my mouse.

What can I do? Arch on kernel 6.17.5-arch1-1

New to Linux [Zorin 18] i got some GPU issues i'd assume

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 31. Oktober 2025 - 11:45

Hey guys

As the title may suggest im experienceing some issues with Linux overall and i am a bit unsure as to why. I got these specs more specifically:

GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700KF 10th Gen Core

RAMs: 2 x 8GB Corsair DDR4 [16GB total]

Storage: NVMe Disk 1TB SSD [Where Zorin is installed]

I have the issue that a lot of games i download lags a good amount more than it would on windows 10/11, and i am not really sure as to why, because apart from the games being installed on linux, through other meassures such as alternative launchers i feel like the experience should be somewhat the same if not even better, considering that Linux takes up less space.

I have looked at which drivers that is installed "Additional drivers" and the version which are being used is the latest one by Nvidia themselves and not the open source one.

[NVIDIA Driver metapackage from nvidia-driver-580 (proprietary)]

So to sum up, im really unsure as to why all of these games that runs "very well" on Win10/11 runs between Low/medium on Linux. Any suggestions and or help would be appriciated.

Until I Have You - Native game won't run

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 31. Oktober 2025 - 10:03

So this game has a native Linux version. It will not run. I'm running EndeavourOS, trying to play this on my HTPC with my XBOX 360 controller. When I click the Play button in Steam it briefly turns into a Stop button and flashes what I think is the vukcan shaders compiling window before the Stop button once again because a Play button and nothing else happens.

I've tried the default version of Proton, Proton Experimental and GE-Proton 20 and the result for all three is that the Play button will become a Stop button, the game will ask me whether to run config or play the game. I can run config but when I try to play the game, nothing happens. The Stop button remains a Stop button but the game never actually launches.

This native Linux game does not run in Linux and I can't make the Windows version work with Proton.

Does anyone have any ideas? Any other version of Proton I should try? At this point I'm shooting in the dark and if someone can suggest a specific version so I don't have to just blindly try every version, that would be great. Or maybe there's some launch parameter that would work?

Any downsides I should know about when using Fedora Kinoite for gaming?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 31. Oktober 2025 - 08:23

I quite like the idea behind immutable distros and already am using Silverblue on my laptop. So far the only downside I found is that installing certain things is obviously a bit more troublesome but nothing I couldnt deal with so far. Also without being able to use dnf I couldnt install additional codecs which made the preinstalled Firefox quite annoying to work with at times, but it didnt annoy me enough to look for a workaround, so probably that isnt as much of a problem too. Worst case I could just replace it by a Flaptak install of FF (which should come with the codecs missing in RPM Firefox).

Anyway, so far most problems I had where minor at worst. But how about gaming? Will there be any big issues with Kinoite (as I prefer Plasma DE for gaming)? I know Bazzite is based on Kinoite too, but I prefer pure Kinoite to keep bloatware at a minimum. All I need is Steam and ProtonGE anyway. Just wanted to hear some opinions or first hand experiences. Thanks in advance!
