Steam Tinker Launcher not running

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. Oktober 2025 - 21:34

Hi

I have installed the Steam Thinker Launcher, but it is not apprs in applications tab. The installation was from packstall.

After that I tried to reinstall it whit flatpak and the Terminal shows that is already installed.

How can I acsess to run Steam Tinker Launcher?

Some days ago I have already istalled that, and that worked. After that I was uninstalled the Steam Thinker Launcher because the mods are not worked and I tried to find another way to use a mod manager, but I solved the main problem (I think) and now I would like to use Vortex for Fallout 4, because I have already some experience with Vortex and I wouldn't like to learn a new one.

Os: Ubuntu 24.04.3

Created pairing tool for Razer Nari on Linux - no Windows required

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. Oktober 2025 - 18:43

Not sure who needs to read this in 2025, but wanted to share since most likely there's people out there with the same issue I had.

Got a replacement Razer Nari dongle from internet and discovered you need Windows just to *pair* it to your headset. Since I don't have Windows, I analyzed the USB traffic to understand how pairing works and created an open-source tool.

**What this solves:**

This is specifically for *pairing* - if your headset is already paired and working, you don't need this. You DO need it if:

- You got a replacement dongle (needs pairing to your existing headset)
- You got a replacement headset (needs pairing to your existing dongle)
- You bought them separately or second-hand unpaired
- You want to pair different Nari models together (e.g., Ultimate dongle + Regular headset)

**What it does:**

- Pairs Razer Nari headset to dongle without Windows/Razer software
- Works on Linux, Windows, macOS
- Cross-model pairing supported (at least regular and Ultimate)

Here is the project if someone's interested:

GitHub: [razer-nar-pairing](https://github.com/juanjodarko/razer-nari-pairing)

Hope this helps someone out there with unpaired Razer hardware on Linux! Happy to answer questions about how it works.

Bad Choppiness After some time or under certain conditions

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. Oktober 2025 - 18:27

This same problem is with fedora, manjaro, arch, cachy

I've had this problem, whenever I run Zen + spotify (spicetify- spicy lyrics) the animations in my zen browser become very laggy only under Performance mode changing back to balance fixed it... I used tuneD cause the default wont let me change my cpu governor to performance or even battery saver its locked to balance

Then I tried Sober the gameplay was definitely on par with Windows 11 (100 Fps locked) but after 5-10 min the game would suddenly become very choppy (30 locked) and the players would just jump from one position to another. And even after closing the game the choppiness would be there in my browser for a few minutes and would eventually go away

During the sober test I saw there was a Drop in my Gpu usage even though the game still ran Check the screenshots (you can ignore the errors about h2c and lps state i have fixed it ) while the game was choppy the gpu did not go over 30% utilization

Also saw this behavior when my laptop went to sleep then I woke it up (only 2-3 times)

I don't really care about the gaming but I do care about not having choppiness in my browser, where I work

Specs;

12gb ram

i5 11 gen

NVIDIA mx350 (GPU2)

Intel R (GPU3)

Dual Monitor Setup

and everything is upto date

There is no problem with zorin os but I prefer KDE

Can Bazzite sleep/resume my PC like Steam Deck?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. Oktober 2025 - 17:49

One thing I love about the Deck and most modern games consoles is sleep/resume. I use my PC connected to the TV in my bed When I put the PC to sleep with a game open, will Steam keep counting towards my playtime or will it know to pause that as well, and can I wake the PC back up using a controller?

Quick question: is there a way to force DLAA in games?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 15. Oktober 2025 - 17:42

On Windows I use profile inspector to enable DLAA in titles that natively don’t have it

For example, Death Stranding
