New to Linux would like advice

16. Januar 2026 - 18:21

I’ve been a Linux user for about an hour and I’m in love with it so far.

I installed Linux mint and I’m figuring it out but I’m wondering if there’s any tips that I should know from more “grizzled vets” out there. I have a NVIDIA gpu and I’ve seen some discussion about using the drivers that’s in a sense built by nvidia vs the one made by the people ( idk what else to call it). I believe I have the gaming stuff figured out I have twine installed idk if there’s anything else for games besides that but any tips would be amazing Ik this is like a vague post but even the littlest things would help a lot. Thank you all

Headset/headphones with good Linux support?

16. Januar 2026 - 17:45

I switched to Linux some time ago, and now that my current headphones (Arctis Pro Wireless) are breaking down, I'm looking at getting a replacement with better Linux support.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a set that matches some or all of these criteria:

  1. Wireless
  2. Durable/adjustable (I have a large head)
  3. Good Linux compatibility (the SteelSeries set depended on proprietary Windows-only software to utilize it's surround sound drivers and some other features, which was really disappointing when I switched to Linux)
  4. Good sound quality - if I can get something with enhanced surround, etc., that would be fantastic.
  5. Closed back

Outside of that I'm not picky. It absolutely doesn't need to be a gaming headset; I do use it for communications but I can always buy a separate microphone.

Any recommendations greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Is Linux mint fine for gaming on 9060 XT nowadays?

16. Januar 2026 - 17:36

I'm getting my new PC soon and I was wondering if the performance on this card is better now or if I should go for an arch based distro like Cachy or Endeavour. I would prefer to stick with Mint if possible since I've already tinkered with it a little bit but if the performance is not up to par with any of the other two I wouldn't mind switching.

Fixed: CounterStrike2 'RenderDeviceMgr001' crash on Fedora

16. Januar 2026 - 17:18

I got this popup on launch:

FATAL ERROR: AppSystemDict: Error in Init() of interface 'RenderDeviceMgr001'!

Quick fix is to launch Steam from terminal and CS2 works perfectly.

I think it could be GNOME issue.
My Setup: Fedora 43 with GNOME 49, NVIDIA GPU, AMD CPU.

Anyone else? Permanent fixes? How can I make it work from the app icon/shortcut?

Insanely slow download speed from GOG

16. Januar 2026 - 17:15

The download speed from GOG on my Steam Deck is throttled at 0.5MB/s.

I have tried both Heroic Launcher and Lutris, and I have tried both installing directly and using the offline installers—there’s no difference. Using a VPN doesn‘t lift the throttle, either.

My Steam downloads are at full speed of ~90 MB/s. Epic on Heroic Launcher is ~10-20 MB/s but at this point I’m not complaining. GOG however is borderline unresponsive. All I can do is download the game to my Windows PC and import it into Heroic. It syncs my saves because the save files are so small, but for updating and repairing etc, between the download speed and the many bugs I encounter with the Heroic client, it’s almost unusable.

I don’t know who caused the throttle but I’m almost certain it’s GOG. 0.5 MB/s download speed for 50-100 GB modern games? Man.

I need help with the Genshin error.

16. Januar 2026 - 17:07

Hello,

I am a Genshin player on CachyOS via PortProton. I have been using it for a few months and had no issues until today when I encountered error 10310-4001 while logging into Genshin. I tried reinstalling it and switching to Heroic Launcher, but now I get a new error, 10010-4001, when logging in. I tried many different versions of Wine, but it still didn't work.

I can't install Lutris (both the Pacman and Flathub versions) because it's missing many dependency packages, preventing me from successfully creating a Prefix.

What should I do now?

Here's my system specs (hopefully this helps)

System / Environment OS: CachyOS (Arch-based), x86_64 Kernel: Linux 6.18.2-2-cachyos Desktop: GNOME 49.2 (Wayland, Mutter) CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H (11th Gen, 6C/12T) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile (Discrete) + Intel UHD Graphics RAM: 8 GB Storage: Btrfs Laptop: Acer Nitro AN515-57 NVIDIA-SMI 590.48.01 Driver Version: 590.48.01 CUDA Version: 13.1 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile Bus-Id: 00000000:01:00.0 Memory: 4096 MiB Persistence Mode: Off Compute Mode: Default MIG: N/A Temperature: 43 C Power Usage: 15W / 75W Performance State: P0 GPU Utilization: 0% Active processes: - gnome-shell (Wayland) using 1 MiB VRAM

Thank you.

Hi! Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with Fallout 76? Can't consistently run it and I've been troubleshooting for a week in a hybrid laptop of intel / nVidia

16. Januar 2026 - 17:06

Useful Information that makes it easier:

* Launch options that I have used: https://pastebin.com/68JkHs95 .

* System Specifications(OS, CPU, GPU etc): https://pastebin.com/uG9S2n75 .

Hello!!

So I have really looked into everywhere and have tried everything and I keep getting random black screens and I'm just sad to be honest. The game in the beginning was working just fine when I specified what GPU to use, but after some re-launches I got a black screen when launching and I could only hear audio and the menu being interacted with my mouse.

Each time I got this problem I found a pair of new launch options (the ones in the first pastebin) and it made the game work for some time but in the end, random black screens when launching.

But now, I don't think the problem is in the launch options but something else?

Also, I'm running steam via flatpak if that's of any help.

I have also tried multiple times verifying the integrity of files, deleting the compatdata dir, specifying env vars in flatseal with command launch options but same thing happens. Myriad of different proton versions/GE as well which do not help.

Also if it's of any help here is a vulkaninfo output as well which gives a useful? error in the beginning? But I am not sure https://pastebin.com/HEN26L0s .

Anyways if you took the time to read all of this I'm really grateful since I honestly have no idea how I can fix this :/ .

EDIT: Now it's working with `DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU" %command%`. This is crazy.

Anyone having controller / gamepad issues with TDU Solar Crown?

16. Januar 2026 - 16:59

I'm trying to check out the Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown free weekend. I saw that they fixed the Linux anti-cheat issue from the beta so I have hoping to play some of it.

However I can't seem to get my Xbox 360 USB wired controller working. It seems like it's not detected at all, no matter the settings. What I've tried:

  • With and without gamescope
  • Steam overlay enabled and disabled
  • Disabled any sort of extra Linux gaming stuff, like mangohud, gamemode, vkbasalt.
  • Steam Input enabled and disabled
  • With Steam Input enabled, tried the keyboard and mouse template

I can verify that my controller works with other games, and is detected by Steam. In the game properties in Steam, under controller I can see that my Xbox controller has a blue circle next to it, hopefully indicating that it's detected.

I saw on Steam communities a thread of some other people having similar issues on Linux.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I could try? Are there maybe any environment variables for Proton or anything through Protontricks that I could try?

My system:

  • endeavourOS
  • KDE Plasma 6 Wayland
  • Steam native
  • Xbox 360 USB wired
  • RX 9070 XT

Required OpenGL function is not available

Please help me stop overheating my laptop

16. Januar 2026 - 14:48

Hello! My problem is simple: I think I have quite a powerful laptop (i7-13700H, 16GB LPDDR5, NVIDIA 4050 6GB), yet it is overheating. I am mainly playing Trackmania, which is not a demanding game, through the latest Wine and Lutris, on Pop!_OS 22.04. Nothing is sandboxed so I'm able to use (or to at least select) my dedicated GPU in game (and it's definitely selected as the performance changes drastically). I enabled virtualization and "performance mode" in my BIOS. Having low quality doesn't really do much, same overheating occurs.

I know I have an H processor which stands for low consumption or whatever, but from what I can tell it can run up to 5GHz (and I've tried enabling performance mode in Pop!_OS and the BIOS to hopefully do this).

I can play for about 30 mins without burning my fingers and having the game slow down. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

NFS Underground 2 problem

16. Januar 2026 - 13:43

hi , i recently had a problem with Need For Speed Underground 2 that made me unable to go to explore mode which i (partially fixed) by setting the CPU affinity to 0 , it works better but still in some parts of the game i have to switch runners to go to certain shops , is there a fix for this and is there a way that i can run the program from Bottles by default at CPU affinity 0 ? i use wine-ge-proton-26 but sometimes i have to switch to wine-ge-proton-27 and some OTHER times i have to switch to the default Soda runner
