Nvidia on Mint. Do you recommend I update from 580 to 590 drivers?

31. Januar 2026 - 14:10

Title,

I have been playing with the 580 drivers and so far so good. I see my Driver Manager now shows the 590 driver with a (recommended) next to it.
Would you advice to update? I dont want to break things but i'd appreciate a bump in performance if it will do that.

I use 5070Ti

Thanks

DualSense support on Linux - STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor

31. Januar 2026 - 13:47

My dual sense is working but it is shown as xbox controller.
In the global Steam Settings under Controller Playstation Controller Support is enabled.
In the game I disabled Steam Input.

Did anyone else manage to set up PS5 DualSense controller for this game under Linux?

Could it be that EA Desktop App Does something to the settings?

CachyOS is a scam

31. Januar 2026 - 13:15

Both aesthetically and practically. It was supposed to be user friendly and ready to go, but if you have a hybrid laptop then its the same as any other distro. Well, worst... as it doesnt even see my usb driver anymore so i can get away from this mess.

The Finals Error, Proton and EAC

31. Januar 2026 - 12:21

Hello!

First of all, I want to say that im not too experienced with linux, but I should still know the basics. So I wanted to play a game called "The Finals" on steam (im on ubuntu) but that did not work as there was just an error message in the the finals loading screen. It said that the game crashed and exited with the code 3. I looked around a bit and noticed that this is not rare at all. There seems to be a Problem with the Easy Anti Cheat and how Proton gets along with it. I have tried every different method I saw online which included trying all protons (+ Hotfix and experimental bleeding edge) and GE-Protons (10-29 and 8-31). However nothing like that worked for me or atleast gave me another error than the usual one. At this Point, I dont know what to do anymore as many other people have the same issue, but I just cant imagine that there is no linux player at all on the finals right now. The only option I can still think of, is a windows dual boot, but I would only consider that if there is no more possible solution out there.

Maybe some of you also already experienced this. It would be great if I could get some help here!

Thank you so much in advance!

[HELP] Minecraft modded freezing my entire system on Arch Linux (Fabric & Forge)

31. Januar 2026 - 12:16

Hi everyone,

For a while now I’ve been trying to play modded Minecraft on Arch Linux, and I’m running into a serious issue where my entire system freezes.

I was playing with friends using Fabric mods, and I could only play if only Minecraft and Discord were open (and even then it was unstable). If I opened something like a web browser, my whole PC would freeze and I’d have to force a reboot.

At first, I assumed it was just my hardware, since it’s not great, but the game was still playable. However, last night we decided to make a Forge modpack, and the problem got worse. With Minecraft + Discord open, the game runs fine at around 80 FPS, but out of nowhere the entire system freezes. This happened multiple times.

I then tried closing Discord and leaving only Minecraft open, but the freezes kept happening — just with longer intervals (before ~10 minutes, now ~20 minutes).

Things I’ve already tried:

Increasing allocated RAM

Decreasing allocated RAM

None of that helped.

System info:

OS: Arch Linux

Minecraft version: 1.20.1

RAM: 8 GB

GPU: Integrated graphics

Device: Laptop

I don’t really believe this is a hardware limitation, since the game consistently runs at ~80 FPS.

Any ideas on what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Help for a noob please

31. Januar 2026 - 11:53

Hi everyone,

Been gaming on windows for over 10 years, but I'm kind of getting tired of the AI first mindset.

I've been interested in linux for a while, and I keep hearing that there's been lots of improvements recently in terma of how easy is tonget things set up and performance. I'm thinking I'd like to try setting up a dual boot, see how it goes. I keep reading that some hardware configs are less friendly so, considering all this:

  • Intel Core i5 -14600KF
  • 32GB RAM 6000MT/s
  • SSD WD_BLACK SN770 2TB
  • RTX 4070 Super

How viable is it using Linux with this hardware? What's the easiest distribution you'd use?

Thanks a lot for the help!

Help | Controlling a PS3 from a PC

31. Januar 2026 - 09:36

I am looking for an app that captures incoming controller commands (like those from a DS4) to then convert to DS3 controller commands to be sent out to an actual PS3 system. I tried GIMX, but it couldn't even install because of an insanely outdated dependency.

The GIMX wiki says that I need a Bluetooth adapter that can have its MAC address spoofed, which I don't have. However to my understanding it only uses it to establish a connection handshake with the console, not for the controller commands themselves.

My PS3 is jailbroken, and I am wondering if it has a list of connected controllers somewhere that I can edit and add the actual MAC address of my machine, so it wouldn't reject a connection from it.

Also, I am aware of USB controller adapters like the Brook Wingman, however I first want to see if there's anything that can be done with my PC alone.

Sim Racing Equipment

31. Januar 2026 - 09:09

Hey all,

couple of days ago i read something about better linux support from brands like asetek and moza for their simracing equipment.

So my question is now, which brand really has a good and easy support for linux? At the moment i have a Fanatec CSL DD and the Simnet SP Pro Pedals. As far as i know the Linux support of fanatec is not really available. If i need to buy new hardware (also pedals?) which one should i get to get the best linux support?

Ori and the Blind Forest low resolution?

31. Januar 2026 - 09:04

I play on a 1440p display with Nvidia 5070ti on Linux (mint). Latest Nvidia drivers installed.

The game plays flawless but resolution seems low/blurry. Changing the resolution ingame doesn't seem to do anything... whether i choose 1440p or 1080p, still kind of blurry.

Any advice?
Thanks

Dualsense Edge Drivers

31. Januar 2026 - 08:59

My wife is involved in a closed test for a game, and while she can get the game to work, she claims that she is unable to get her Edge controller to work. I find it hard to believe that some distros are touted as great for gaming if users can't get controllers to function.

Are there drivers for the Dualsense Edge? If not, are there drivers for the basic controller? Bonus points to anybody that knows of remapping software that would allow for keyboard inputs to be mapped to the controller.

Thank you in advance.
