Hi,
I’ve been trying to get my T500RS working on Linux, but without any success so far. I tried tmdrv and read through the entire GitHub thread about T500RS support, but nothing helped.

Is there anything else I can try to get force feedback working on the T500RS, or am I at the point where I should just consider buying a new wheel?

This has happened twice now after connecting to a match. I'm not sure what information I can provide other than the screenshot

I am getting 10-20Mbps download speed on Steam on Arch Linux. Windows laptop right next to it gets 300-400Mbps.

I already tried changes suggested in the link.

Any advise or suggestions?

Switched from Windows to Linux this year after 25 years. Wanted to keep using Epic Games, Battlenet, my heavily modded Skyrim, and well, all my Windows applications without terminal commands, Wine voodoo, or keeping Steam running.

Over this past year I've built and hardened SteamLess Proton - a GUI that uses Proton (Steam's compatibility layer) for any Windows .exe. This tool has been my daily driver for 6+ months.

How it works:

Right-click any .exe → guided setup → done. No Wine, no winetricks, no terminal.

Simply install your applications like you would on windows and run via gui or desktop shortcut~

What makes it different:

- Runs WITHOUT Steam (auto-installs GE-Proton when you install SteamLess app)

- Dual-boot users: optionally automatically syncs your game saves between Windows and Linux

- Sideload mods, patches, DirectX installers or other dependencies directly into your game's prefix via the gui, no winetricks needed.

- Each app gets isolated environments - your modded Skyrim won't break your other games

Tested with: Epic Games, Battlenet, FFXIV, Guild Wars 2, Black Desert, EA App, GOG Galaxy, LOTRO, Blender, heavily modded Skyrim, and many more.

Source-available (full auditable code, no telemetry).

Trying to play Assassins Creed Shadows on Cachy OS using proton-cachyos-10.0-20251126, have also tried GE-Proton, I cant get HDR to work at all, have tried

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1

and the option is still disabled, currently playing the game on 9070 XT with this as my launch commands, game runs ok, not as well as on Windows, but I'd really like to get HDR working if possible, any help would be appreciated

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm=n,b" PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 FSR4_WATERMARK=1 mangohud %command%

Hello!

Yesterday this retro game was launched. I used to play it a lot when I was a kid, but I can't make it work on linux. This is what I have tried so far:

I did the installation of the game through Lutris, and I've tried all the proton versions I can think of, Proton-GE, Experimental, wine-ge, you name it. I have also tried activating dgvoodoo2 in various versions as I've read that the one that comes by default with Lutris is not working properly. This far the game launches and plays sound, but video output is completely absent, showing only a black screen.

I'm a bit lost with this at the moment. Normally what happens with proton and old games is that they just work, but I can't make this work by any means.

Hello there! I'm looking at wirecutters review for the gigabyte gaming laptop, A16 Pro. Specifically, I use Linux all the time, and would prefer this over windows 11, but I don't know if this gaming laptop is supported well. Are there other suggestions for a Linux gaming laptop? I would love to run local LLM, and have a laptop that would be a joy to use regularly. I would prefer hardware similarly to what I can find on the gigabyte A16 with a fast GPU and memory.

Hey, so earlier I was playing the PRAGMATA demo using ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 so that I could play in HDR, but it caused my mouse to no longer being captured by the game, meaning that trying to aim right would actually move my cursor to my 2nd screen (which is on the right).

This obviously makes games completely unplayable with KB+M. Surely this can't just be how it is, so I must be doing something wrong. Could somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

I should mention, I'm using EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma and an Nvidia 4070Ti Super with the latest drivers (580.105.08)

I heard Hogwarts Legacy (steam) pretty much runs perfectly on linux using proton, but what about Epic Games? The game is currently free on Epic Games, and was wondering how the preformance was before I consinder installing Heroic Launcher.

I'm on arch kde

and I have done every single thing to try getting this shit to work. But I failed and there is a lot of shit installed on my arch install that I don't know how to get rid of.

both DISABLE_LSFG=1 vkcube

and vkcube run at the same speed

Someone please help me.

The first time it started but after I did alt F4 I isnt working anymore I have an error in the logs that says error starting a shared library libxrandr so 2. What can I do? I bought the game on gog

Hi, hi! So, my PC uses Linux, and I've been interested in downloading and playing Subnautica. Knowing how Linux works though, I've realised it may be a challenge. I'm new to the whole Linux thing but I know that wine can be a little iffy sometimes. So, is there anyone who plays Subnautica on their Linux device that could lmk how they did it?

Also, I don't currently have my PC with me as I'm on holiday, so I might not be able to answer some questions. And I kinda sorta don't know much about my device as I'm new to having a PC and not running Windows, and my dad has mostly guided me through everything so far. 😅

just switched to linux (fedora) and in windows i had a profile setup on DSX with a ton of shortcuts for me to control my pc from bed. for example, i pressed select + start to change from my ps4 profile to my tv profile, the entire controller would have new mappings for me to use and i could switch back if i opened a game or something. i tried input-remapper but its rather clunky and i cant start and stop it at will with a shortcut afaik.

i know this is probably a long shot for this specific use case but i thought it’d be worth it to give it a try

So yesterday I had an issue with my 8bitdo ultimate 2 and messed with drivers to maybe fix it. For some reason it gets detected as two different controllers connected at the same time. The first issue got fixed with a kernel update but now it still shows 2 controllers. If I go to a gamepad tester and connect it, it shows 8bitdo ultimate 2 and it shows a second controller called Microsoft xbox 360 controller. I have no other controller connected to my PC. The issue only appears on xinput but dinput resets every time I shut down my PC and the controller gets disconnected.

So I boldly challenged to 30 days of linux only on our main pcs. I plan to install bazzite since it seems to be the most popular gaming focused OS right now, but I have very limited linix experience. I stopped using Ubuntu because gnome would crash constantly and it became kinda unusable and I didn't feel like fixing it. Any advice on distro choice and set up would be super helpful!

Edit for specs if its relevant for drivers at all i9 14900kf, 4080 super, 32gb RAM, 1tb will be allocated for linux for now

Going to and early next year. Wanna make sure I know what I gotta do when I do. Any chance it's as simple as making sure the latest kernel and mesa my distro can use is installed and just plopping the amd card in?
