Gaming WIth Window Maker

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. Februar 2026 - 14:59

I have been wanting to daily drive Window Maker x11 DE and everything has been running fine until I start to game. When I start and play the game, it runs fine, but when I either alt+tab or close the game, all of the windows start to trail duplicates when I move them around and then after a few seconds the whole computer crashes with only a forced reboot will make it work again. I have done some research on it and X11 does have problems with full screen gaming but it does the same thing with window border-less and windowed as well. Some other things I've looked up said to just use a different DE but that answer already is just ignorant. I also wanted to ask in case other users who want to use window maker can hopefully use this thread as well incase they are having problems with it as well. Thank you for your time.

Every time after the EAC splash screen my game crash, I'm on Nobara right now but on arch the game worked. I tried with almost every proton variant. I have installed EAC runtime on steam. Can anyone help me with this? :(

edit: I have Ryzen 7 5700x and 6800xt with 32gb ram, and the newest drivers of mesa and the kernel.

Constant Stuttering in Amnesia The Dark Descent

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. Februar 2026 - 13:56

Recently switched to Linux Mint and have been getting bad stuttering every few seconds, regardless of what's happening in-game.

Runs 60fps for a around 5 seconds, stutters to 15-20fps for 5 seconds, repeat.

Anyone here have the same problem and find a solution?

I've tried:

- Changing to full compsition (Nvidia)

- Disabling/re-anabling Steam overlay

- Changing scaling back and forth

- Tried various Proton versions

- Launch with specific command (can't recall command right now)

- Dropping graphics settings (Same problem whether it's low or maxed)

- Disabled applets in taskbar

Haven't had this problem with other games so far!

best linux compatible peripherals

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. Februar 2026 - 13:07

Im looking to replace a few of my peripherals now that im on linux for a bit.
currently im using a razer naga trinity mouse, a logitech g510 and and old wireless xbox 360 controller.

For a mouse and keyboard im thinking about going back to something simple with only some rgb, thought about some corsair stuff, have yet to look though how comatible they are with linux to configure the rgb stuff. dont mind some other suggestions here.

But im not sure about the controller yet, currently have problems with my xbox as the dpad is somehow wrong ingame and im not able to fix it, and as i was about to look for a new one anyway i thought something that has a good compebility with linux would be best.

another thing is, since switching to linux i wasnt able to use all the makro keys from the g510 or the razer naga, but in the long run i would love to have something similar back for gaming with makros and stuff, something like the razer tartarus. is there something like that, also design wise that has a good compability with linux. i know there are many little keypads and stuff but they are not really optimized for gaming, in my opinion.

Can some linux veterans maybe share some suggestions and insight on linux peripherals ?

Gamescope disables HDR support in Doom: TDA

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. Februar 2026 - 13:05

I am on Hyprland, nixos unstable. HDR works fine without gamescope.

I have a bug in Doom where my cursor will, at random moments, leave the game and enter my second screen. Usually to fix this i use gamescope, but now for some reason gamescope doesn't provide HDR support like it usually does.

Here is the command I used: ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 gamescope -W 2560 -w 2560 -H 1440 -h 1440 -r 240 -f --hdr-enabled --force-grab-cursor -- %command% +com_skipIntroVideo 1
I am using Proton GE 10-29 and have the env variables PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND and PROTON_ENABLE_HDR, set globally because I am tired of doing it manually.

When entering the game using gamescope I also only have a single screen named default to chose from, which it doesn't think supports HDR even though it should.

Why does my Vial keyboard freeze in Ubuntu?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. Februar 2026 - 11:22

I bought a Cheapino v2 and used it on Windows 11 without any problems.

I've started using Ubuntu again, and my keyboard freezes whenever I leave it alone for a few minutes.

I've already done some basic configurations as suggested by GPT (qmk-rules), but I'm still having these problems.

Has anyone else had this problem? My friends who have custom keyboards and use Unix said they don't have these problems.

Gaming on Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 09. Februar 2026 - 11:05

My experience with gaming on Linux has been a bit challenging, but I believe it’s worth it. My first attempt was with Pop!_OS, which was game-ready and provided improved graphics performance on my Intel UHD 620 laptop. However, when I switched to Zorin OS, I encountered problems. It took several updates before I was able to fix a DirectX crash issue on Steam.
