Flufftopia: Fluffmazing Edition is finally available for Linux on Steam!

21. Januar 2026 - 20:59

Hey everyone c:

so I've been working on the graphics for my fiancees game for months now and it has finally been released.

Flufftopia: Fluffmazing Edition is a cute little clicker-game that was built in Godot on his Linux-PC. You can earn Fluffcoins, buy buildings and upgrade them. There is also a story, that you can discover throughout the game.

If you are interested you can check it out on Steam!

Big steam installs wipe drive

21. Januar 2026 - 20:45

hi, I’m on kubuntu 25.10 and everytime I install a big steam game, halfway through the process my system drive either gets wiped completely or lags to the point of having no other choice than reinstall, it's not an idle issue, I tried it alone, it only happens when I download a big game, then around the 30gb mark it becomes completely unusable

I also installed smaller games like hollow knight but that seemed to work just fine, does anyone know where this issue could lie?

Thanks in advance!

Crash The Last Of Us Part I, someone can help me?

21. Januar 2026 - 20:44

When I try to open The Last of Us Part I on Arch Linux, it reaches the spinning coin loading screen, and just when it seems like the coin is about to finish spinning, boom, it crashes, and I never manage to get to the main menu. This doesn't happen on Windows. I have the latest version of GE-Proton and the latest stable Arch kernel. I have an RX 580 2048SP.

Has anyone run into this error when trying to launch Genshin from Twintail Launcher?

21. Januar 2026 - 20:29

New Linux gamer here -- I've had my PC running Linux Mint for a couple weeks and haven't run into any issues with Genshin until today.

I launched Genshin from Twintail Launcher and when the game loaded in, I got the "abnormal activity detected" error message, so I closed the game. Before rebooting, I noticed I had a handful of system updates so I set those in motion, then rebooted.

Now when I try to launch the game, I get the error message in the image above: "Failed to run command! Please try again or check logs available in game directory or respective tool's directory."

I've tried rebooting again and re-installing the launcher with no success. Has anyone else run into this error and/or know a fix?

Thank you!

Hi folks, I’ve built an open‑source project that could be useful to some of you

21. Januar 2026 - 18:58

TL;DR: Web dashboard for NVIDIA GPUs with 30+ real-time metrics (utilisation, memory, temps, clocks, power, processes). Live charts over WebSockets, multi-Server/multi-GPU support, and one‑command Docker deployment.

Repo: https://github.com/psalias2006/gpu-hot

Why I built it

  • Wanted simple, real‑time visibility without standing up a full metrics stack.
  • Needed clear insight into temps, throttling, clocks, and active processes during GPU work.
  • A lightweight dashboard that’s easy to run at home or on a workstation.

What it does

  • streams 30+ metrics every ~500ms via WebSockets.
  • Tracks per‑GPU utilization, memory (used/free/total), temps, power draw/limits, fan, clocks, PCIe, P‑State, encoder/decoder stats, driver/VBIOS, throttle status.
  • Shows active GPU processes with PIDs and memory usage.
  • Clean, responsive UI with live historical charts and basic stats (min/max/avg).

Setup (Docker)

docker run -d --name gpu-hot --gpus all -p 1312:1312 ghcr.io/psalias2006/gpu-hot:latest submitted by /u/panos_s_

inconsistent (or worse) performance with a 9070

21. Januar 2026 - 18:32

hi

i got a 9070 last week, upgraded from a 6700xt, i was really happy at first but after testing a few games like dying light 2 or shadow of war i've noticed that i had worse performance than i used to get with my 6700xt, from 120FPS to around 80 with these 2 examples

with some games i have noticed a significant improvement in performance but here's the thing: it never maxes out to my monitor refresh rate (160fps) despite having the limiter disabled. when i had my 6700xt, i was manually capping to 120FPS, and everything ran and capped to 120 as it should.

but now, the 9070 won't just max out unless i play extremely simple games that barely use the components, as soon as a game uses my R7 5800X to around 50% or more, the GPU reduces in speed and consumption, from 220W to around 170w at best, yet i have a 850W PSU which should be more than enough to power that configuration, and it doesn't explain why i got better performance with my old GPU in some games, none of this makes any sense!

i'm genuinely lost and desperate, thinking about getting a refund cause i don't understand why this even happens in the first place.

also i plugged the gpu correctly, and used 2 PCI cables without a splitter to power the GPU. the CPU is never running to 100% usage with any game, the worst i've had was 70-80% usage on the CPU the GPU typically won't go past 60-70% usage

i'm running openSUSE TW with mesa 25.3 installed

Steam library page keep freezing after I switched to other workspace

21. Januar 2026 - 18:26

https://reddit.com/link/1qj46uf/video/wyb77w8nlqeg1/player

So my steam library page freeze right after I switched to other workspace. I cant click through the game on my steam library. This happens when I turn on dynamic graphics settings on my bios settings. If I use discrete graphic, this wont happen. Any Idea why?

Cyberpunk 2077 / AMD 9070 XT

21. Januar 2026 - 18:21

Hi there,

just recently moved from a 4070-ti to a 9070 XT. So far all is working as expected and I am quite happy. But what the hell is wrong with CP77?!?! As soon as I enable RT, a whole set of unwanted glitches kicks in. During the benchmark for instance, objects and shadows randomly appear and disappear. The lighting is off and through the railing bars another room is visible for one second. In the actual game, for instance in the disco in Dog Town, the reflections of the dancing NPCs do not move at all. It is like fake RT but in a super bad way.

I am running CachyOS with all updates, no mods, no overclocking.

Is that a general issue? On the 4070-ti nothing of the above was visible.

Baldurs Gate 3 - Steam - DirectX Version

21. Januar 2026 - 17:52

Hi!

I just made the switch to CachyOS and it is now in a state that is fine for me (got fancontrol and GPU undervolting working).

But I stumbled upon one problem with Baldurs Gate 3 in Steam. Steam launches the Vulkan version automatically. But I want it to start the DirectX version, to make use of optiscalers DLSS->FSR4.

Anyone know how to force Steam to launch the „Windows“-Version?

PySolFC on MX Linux looks small, how to enlarge?

21. Januar 2026 - 17:23

I recently tried out MX Linux, which uses GNU for the apps, and not flatpack. On Mint, I had been playing PySolFC Klondike Solitaire. On MX Linux, the cards are small, only taking up 1/4 of the screen. I do not see where I can enlarge this to full screen. Any help is appreciated.

Thinking of going back to windows does my reason make sense?

21. Januar 2026 - 17:22

A little while ago I moved to bazzite but the more I think about it the more it makes sense for me to return to win 10 mainly because my hardware is old and not and i7 4790k 980ti.

The only factor I’m currently not sure about is the virus protection so my question is

Is Linux/Bazzite more secure than windows 10

Since there is no defender in Linux but windows 10 support is stopped what do you think?

Also since defender has only been catching my cracked games I’m thinking of disabling it or even using a custom win 10 iso to squeeze out even more performance

Raising the bar: Redux on linux?

21. Januar 2026 - 16:39

Hello everyone, after seeing the recent update of rtbr for half life 2, I was wondering if it was possible to play it on linux. From what I heard, you need to enable proton for source sdk base 2007 and 2013 singleplayer and set 2013 to upcoming in the betas. I did all that and even enabled proton for half-life 2, put the rtbr folder in the sourcemods folder and it showed up in steam. But when i launch it, nothing happens. So could anyone help please. Note: Im on arch linux and on not flatpak steam and using proton 7.0-6.
