Xbox One Controller no longer connects, Linux Mint

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 11. März 2026 - 00:11

Hi Everyone,

I have been using Linux Mint 22.1 for a few months for daily tasks and casual gaming, I've been trying to play for a few weeks but for some reason the Xbox controller no longer connects via Bluetooth, it does connect via USB, though.

I tried a different controller, the controller on an actual Xbox (works on the xbox but not on the PC), factory reset the controller, installed xbdriver (or something like that), xow, xpadneo and nothing works.

I created another user account and it says "Controller Connected" but the light in the controller won't stop flashing and it does not work at all.

Pairing, Connecting or even Trusting the yield the same result. I'm down to my sixth or seventh forum trying to find a solution but nothing helps.

Please help, thank you!

PS, that le-connection error does not show every time, only once every 8 or 10 attempts.

Is anyone else having occasional stutters when playing Path of Exile 2? I'm running at around 165FPS at all times, but there's still some stuttering that goes on occasionally. There are no drop frames. No issues like this on Windows 11. I'm running using Vulkan and using Proton Experimental on Steam.

Decent laptop for linux gaming?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. März 2026 - 22:09

Heyaaa, looking to get a laptop to replace my aging Windows tower for gaming (mostly because I want to reclaim that desk space back). My plan is to use Mint and to mostly play titles that are best modded (bethesda, minecraft, etc) and that are not easily acquired on a ps5. I have an Apple Studio Display that I use for work and I’d love to be able to plug it into that as well, tho I’m not fussed about matching it all the way up to 5k lol. My aging tower outputs 2k and that’d be more than enough.

Im in the United States, sub $800 would be a bonus, but I’m really trying to not exceed $1000 after taxes (CA…. its brutal). Not looking for the BEST, just what works, also totally fine with refurbished machines. Advice would be appreciated!

Also apologies if this isnt the right subreddit to post to Ill take my post elsewhere haha. Just let me know.

Capture card that can capture HDR

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. März 2026 - 20:38

So I am in the process of switching to linux and one of my last hurdles from windows is HDR capture.

I have a PS5 and switch 2 connected to my PC. I have an HDR display so I don't need HDR to SDR tone mapping.

So I want to have HDR to my local monitor via the capture. I don't care about the pass through.

Does anyone have a card that works?

I have the elgato 4k x, but when looking online it supports HDR capture for windows, not for mac and linux isn't even mentioned, but it doesn't seem to work. (I am open to things here if anyone knows how to make it output HDR on linux).

So yeah very washed out. I set HDMI output to full. It looks good if I enable the tone mapping, but I don't wanna map it to SDR.

So I usually use the OBS preview screen for gameplay. I don't really want to record or stream in HDR.

Edit: 1440p minimum resolution would be nice. So a 1080p HDR capture isn't really useful to me.

Nvidia en linux

Buenas llevo un tiempo queriendo entrar en este mundo por la privacidad y la seguridad y lo único que me impedía entrar era los juegos, actualmente esto último ya no es un problema con los videojuegos que suelo jugar pero claro actualmente tengo una rtx 5060ti y he escuchado Nvidia en general da muchos problemas y no es recomendable. Esto sigue así o actualmente puedo usarla sin pérdida de rendimiento?

Why is my ThinkPad X280 performing 50% worse on Linux than Windows 11? (RDR1 & Hollow Knight, PPT 5)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. März 2026 - 19:10

Hi everyone, I’m struggling to understand why Linux gaming performance is so much lower on my hardware. I’m using a ThinkPad X280 (Intel UHD 620).

I've tried CachyOS, Nobara, and Pop!_OS, but the results are disappointing compared to Windows:

  • RDR1 : Windows gets 40-50 FPS, but Linux only gets 20-23 FPS.
  • Hollow Knight: On Windows, 1080p gets 60-80 FPS, and 720p hits 112-130 FPS. On Linux, 720p performance is barely equal to Windows 1080p.
  • Poppy Playtime (Ch.5): On Windows, I get a solid 60 FPS (Native,with LS1 Lossless scaling ). On Linux? It’s a slide-show at 20 FPS.

Is it an Intel driver issue? Mesa versions? Or is Linux just not optimized for older integrated graphics despite the 'lightweight' reputation? I really want to switch, but the performance hit is too big to ignore. Any tips?

NOTE: Lossless Scaling was only used for Poppy Playtime; the other games were tested natively on both OSs.
