Rx 6700xt or 3060 ti?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. Juni 2025 - 21:00

Hi! I'm thinking about upgrading my graphics card (1650 super). I have dual boot, but the idea is to experience all the gaming possible on Linux. I'd use Endeavour KDE with Wayland. Which graphics card do you recommend? RX 6700 XT or 3060 Ti? And why? I heard that Nvidia doesn't work well with Linux. Is this true?

Does linux support all PS5 controller features?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. Juni 2025 - 20:28

Basically i got a ps5 controller to mainly play Sony games. Do all the controller features like trigger effects and the vibrations work as normal or are some features missing because i asked gpt4 and that told me some features like trigger effects only work on windows?

Would it be bad idea to use clean Fedora KDE for gaming distro? AMD GPU

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. Juni 2025 - 20:08

Hi, as in title - what is exactly the difference between Nobara and Fedora? Both aren't immutable I know there is difference in packages, but what exactly. Would it be achievable to get same performance installing these? I guess yes, but the catch is to know what to install. Does anyone use clean Fedora for gaming? I know there is no Proton/Wine pre-installed, but this I think can be easily managed using Proton-QT and Winetricks, not mentioning Steam, to get these translating layers.

I guess updating MESA is also something to take care about when running clean OS like that. What more pros and cons can You point out?

How to setup a sim-racing handbrake as an SDL controller?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. Juni 2025 - 19:02

Hello guys,

I've switched to Linux Mint recently, and I'm trying to set up my sim-racing rig to play some PS2 games. I've managed to get my steering wheel and the shifter to work just fine, but PCSX2 straight up doesn't detect my handbrake at all.

I've set up my handbrake using instruction from this post, as I have the same one - although I didn't configure SC-Controller, as it doesn't seem to be available for Debian anymore. So far, I've achieved the following results:

1. The handbrake is detected by Linux, when I use lsusb command in terminal. 2. jstest-gtk also detects the handbrake, and allows me to calibrate it. 3. Steam also detects the handbrake, and I can map controls to it for Steam games. 4. Surprisingly, RetroArch does detect the handbrake, and allows me to map controls to it. 5. Despite this, PCSX2 just doesn't detect the handbrake.

I've noticed that my wheel and shifter are detected on PCSX2 as SDL controllers, but my handbrake does not. I wanted to know if it's possible to either force PCSX2 to detect non-SDL controllers, or to "convert"(?) my handbrake into an SDL controller.

I'm still somewhat new to Linux, so I apologise if this isn't the best explanation of the issue. Thank you in advance for all suggestions.

Anybody else with this issue when playing War Thunder?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. Juni 2025 - 18:39

It is not happening every time, but in most of the games yes. Especially ground battles.

So, I start a game, join a battle, choose vehicle, being spawned... Everything seems to be OK. But suddenly, after 10 - 30 seconds, I have a lag. The lag is every time different, but usually it is after 20 seconds until I was spawned and it is 2 - 15 seconds long.

I thought that it is normal at start, but it is happening to me for more than 3 months and I don't know how to get rid of it. As I said, it is not happening every time. Sometimes I have no lag. But usually after kernel update / NVIDIA drivers update / War Thunder update it starts to be worse. After some time without update, usually it is going to be better.

But it is really annoying, because I go with my tank and every time I have this lag, I crash in tree, wall and when I have pressed a key, so my tank was turning, it is still turning me, so I crash again to something, but almost every time I block the road or crash to another player.

And also, if I have these lags and go to Custom battles, I can play without problems and don't have any lags.

But...

When I start the game and join Custom battles before I play normal match, leave the Custom battles and join normal match, I have so bad lag, my game crashes and I need to restart the computer to be normal again.

Can you help me with this?

Thank you.

Help! Need some legit answers!!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. Juni 2025 - 18:33

So i have this older laptop which im pretty sure is an HP Notebook(pavilion?) G6..it came with Windows 7.. 500 gig hard drive..something like 2-4gigs of ram and the graphics card is AMD A6 Vision 7500 HD.. if im not mistaken. Its my only working computer at the moment so i did what upgrading i could which isnt much but I know have 8gigs of ram and i installed Linux. The distro is called Lubuntu. Those are the only differences. Im using steam with the newest proton shit(10.1?) that just came out within the last few weeks. Ive tried running guild wars 2 and everquest two both on lowest graphics settings i figured that if my first choice(guild wars) didnt work as WELL as i assumed..id try everquest 2 and have better luck..i cant get guild wars past 2-4 fps and nlt sure what everquest was but was probably a unplayable 10 or less fps. Is this just my garbage laptop? Or should i go back to windows? Or try lutris or wine? Suggestions 🥺

How I Installed Games on Linux (and What I Did Wrong)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 23. Juni 2025 - 17:27

Thank you all so much for the support. It's been amazing so far and I really do appreciate it. So, thank you.

Today I wanted to share how I set up Steam and Lutris on Linux and how I’m actually installing my games right now. I’m new to this, so yeah, I’ve made a few mistakes, but this is what’s been working for me so far.

When I first set up my system, I used the software center Discover to install Steam and Lutris. It was just the easiest way for me to do it at the time. I ended up installing both as Flatpaks. Didn’t really know there was a difference when I started, really.

Right now, I’m installing games through Steam inside the Steam client itself, and also through Lutris by adding launchers like Epic Games, GOG, and Ubisoft.

Since then, I’ve learned that using Flatpak versions of Steam and Lutris can sometimes cause issues, especially with Proton versions and drivers and things. Apparently, the better way to install Steam and Lutris is natively using the package manager so they work better with your system drivers and that sort of thing.

I haven’t switched yet (correction: I did swap over Lutris) because so far everything is running fine and I’ve installed lots of games. I’ve installed the launchers, I’ve logged into those launchers. But at least now I know that if I do run into any problems, that could be it, and then I’ll probably reinstall the native versions.

So if you want to install Steam and Lutris the native way, here’s what I’ve learned on Fedora. Basically, you open up the console and type:

sudo dnf install steam

Really, really easy. Loads of text will appear on your screen, it’ll install, and then you can open up Steam and go through the usual process.

Same with Lutris:

sudo dnf install lutris

That’s what I quite like about package managers. it’s that simple. Really elegant. You just tell it “I want to install Discord”:

sudo dnf install discord

I think that might work, although I think for me I did it through Discover. But anyway, it’s very elegant and I quite like that.

My current setup:
I’m using Steam (Flatpak version from Discover), installing my games through the Steam client.

I’m using Lutris (Native version through DNF), installing and running launchers like Epic Games, GOG, and Ubisoft

I’ve also installed Escape from Tarkov on Linux, the PVE version. In fact no, it doesn’t install the PVE version, it installs the whole package. I can only play the PVE version, and I can only play the PMC PVE version. I can’t do the Scavs, because Scav mode runs on Battlestate servers and that has the anti-cheat on.

So if you want to play Escape from Tarkov, you can, but you can only do the PVE version as a PMC.

I’ve also installed OBS, Discord, Teams client (or the unofficial Teams client), Krita, all through Flatpak, and they’re all working fine so far.

If I do run into problems, I’ll probably reinstall stuff, especially Steam, natively. But for now, this is working great.

I’m still learning Linux gaming, this is just my experience so far. If you’re also trying to figure this out, let us know below!

Here is the video version for those interested. No problem if not :)

That’s all for now! Next, I dived into Timeshift and what a bloody mess that was! lol
