AnvilToolKit on Steam Deck

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Dezember 2025 - 19:52

Hey, I’ve been trying to get AnvilToolKit to consistently work on the steam deck for a year now and been having weird luck with it. I’ve got it kinda working in the past but now I’m having issue where when I try to run it, it tells me that I need to run it as an administrator. I’ve tried to change the files permissions to allow all users to view and edit the file, plus I only have the one profile so it should have admin access. I’ve tried flatseals, that didn’t work. I’ve downloaded the .net 5 file so that shouldn’t be an issue. I’m running it with wine because it just runs with out the extra UI. Nobody seems to be able to figure this issue out on deck. I’ve tried everything I could look up. Everyone solutions do nothing and im trying to figure out how I’ve had admin access with the file one day and lose it the next. Any new advice would be great as I’m sure there is way to get this working without all the headaches!

Overwatch 2 and Nvidia crashes?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Dezember 2025 - 19:21

So far I've been using Fedora since 35 and have been loving it, but the only thing that stops me is Overwatch 2.

First, every time it updates, it always has to do shader compiling, which takes forever. If I skip, it does it while playing, which is unplayable.

Second, when things are finally going well, maybe about about an hour or so (feels so random), the graphics driver crashes and kick me out of the game. I forgot the actual message right now.

I want to get away from Windows but OW2 is really the only game I play daily. I found myself booting into Fedora less because of this issue. For the most part, OW2 is the only reason why I use Windows now.

Is this just a Nvidia issue, or just the state of Steam/Proton/OW2?

I have a 5950X and 3090. Should I be looking into an AMD GPU as my next purchase? Would that fix the crashing?

Also would the AMD GPU eliminate or shorten the shader compiling?

Hyprland: Steam game launches and runs but only display a black screen

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Dezember 2025 - 18:57

Hi all I've been gaming on linux for about a year now everything's been going quite smoothly.

I recently purchased Warhammer 40k Inquisitor Martyr and whenever I launch the game I can hear the games cinematic intro movie and right after it the main menu music but safe for the game's cursor the game's window is entirely black.

Strangely the game tuns perfectly fine on both Gnome and KDE.

Cpu: Ryzen 7 5800x

Discord / Vesktop not showing TF2 as an RPC

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Dezember 2025 - 18:27

I'm running the native Linux x64 version of the game. It doesn't work on Discord nor Vesktop but my RPC is enabled and works fine. I'm not sure what to do to fix it, all of the guides and forums I've looked at haven't helped.

I have the native Arch repository version of Vesktop and not the Flatpak version.

Bazzite Desktop vs Fedora KDE: Is there a performance difference with an RTX 4060?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Dezember 2025 - 18:15

Hey guys, I'm slowly moving my main rig to Linux. It's mostly for gaming and I'm currently running an RTX 4060.

I've been looking at Bazzite, specifically the Desktop image with KDE (not the handheld mode), versus just installing the standard Fedora KDE Spin. Since Bazzite is based on Fedora, is there any actual gaming performance difference between them?

I really just want the best FPS and a smooth experience with my Nvidia card without too much hassle. Is Bazzite's pre-configuration worth it for the performance, or is standard Fedora basically the same? Thanks!

AMD and Nvidia

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Dezember 2025 - 18:00

I saw that the FAQ 2.0 says that AMD is better supported than Nvidia in linux, but the FAQ looks like it's more than 1 year old (according to the age of the thread stickied in this subreddit) so I was wondering if that's still the case? Is it still recommended to get the AMD?

I'm looking to purchase either the RTX 5070, Radeon 9070 or 9060XT so doing some research on what's the ideal choice.

Thanks for any thoughts!

EDIT: Is there intuitive graphical interface support for undervolting and power limiting graphics cards from both AMD and Nvidia?

Hey guys I'm running fedora workstation as I prefer gnome over KDE bit the one thing thats really frustrating is the fractal scaling. I want to run at 125% but when I open. My game (guild wars 2) through steam its even smaller than if I were to run it at 100%. Is there any way around this? Like running the game at 100% and keeping the desktop at 125% Many thanks

[REQ - Zorin OS + OBS + pulseaudio!!!] I recently switched to bare-bones Zorin OS, and I'm having trouble with OBS & pulseaudio!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Dezember 2025 - 17:31

Hey everyone!

I've been a long-time lover of Linux, and with the news of Windows 11 recall, I finally decided to make the leap. I have completely thrown windows in the trash and have no plans to return. I'm currently using Zorin OS and ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT! - However, I do have a few issues I need help resolving! Firstly, I'm a streamer & content creator (wannabe/hobbyist) so OBS (or similar) is something I desperately need to work. I'm currently unable to make that happen.

So let's start from scratch - I need null sinks and monitors for spotify, discord & game audio (arc raiders)

pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=spotify-sink-main

pactl load-module module-loopback source=spotify.monitor sink=<my headset>

This works flawlessly, I open pavucontrol and edit the playback/recording to match. I go on OBS and create a new audio capture of my sink. The audio working on OBS is a COIN FLIP!! It works sometimes, other times not.

Also, I've used the default.pa to create persistence which has never worked for me.

I have consulted with AI and browsed the web, tried reading the help file... I just can't get it to work. Maybe I just don't understand yet? AI says I need to create some kind of script that runs on startup.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is it worth upgrading from a 4070 to 9070xt for about $340?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 02. Dezember 2025 - 17:18

I use Linux on my gaming rig, and I have the chance to upgrade my 4070 to a 9070xt for roughly $340 (trading in current GPU+sale).

It seems Nvidia cards are slowly getting better on Linux, so I’m wondering if it is worthwhile to hop to AMD? I’ve also had a bad experience with an AMD card in the past where it got bricked after a driver update, and no amount of DDU and talking to actual AMD support could fix it.

AM5, 32 GB, 7800x3d are current specs
