I'm releasing my second game Hyperslice on Friday and it's Linux ready!

13. Januar 2026 - 17:12

I'm super pleased to finally have a release date for Hyperslice, on January 16 (Friday). I've been working on this game on and off for a while now so it feels so good to see the end of the tunnel.

Hyperslice is a fast paced arena roguelite where your only weapon is your dash.

I made the game mostly using Linux Mint so I wanted to have a day one Linux/Steam Deck release. I'm so excited to get people to play it! There's a demo on Steam if you want to give it a try.

Cheers, Eliptik

Mango Hud overlay showing up in launcher before game and won't toggle off

13. Januar 2026 - 16:31

I have Mango Hud set to run with Final Fantasy XIV. This makes it also appear in the launcher before the game. The overlay is showing up over the text on the left 1/3 of the launcher, when I hit my toggle button, it doesn't turn it off. It does when ingame but not on this launcher for any reason. Any ideas?

Genshin goes back lo launcher

13. Januar 2026 - 16:17

I am using Wine to launch Genshin, but it just don't launch the game itself and goes back to launcher. It was fine and working before, and I didn't do anything to it. Clearing cache and repairing files didn't help. It already happened once, I reinstalled the game and it worked. Os is linux mint. Is there a way to make it work again without reinstalling?

Minecraft crash on Ubuntu after some time

13. Januar 2026 - 14:07

Hey guys my Minecraft crashes after a random amount of time when playing, varying between 30 minutes to almost 2 hours. I play with shaders and launch through Curseforge. I’ve tried updating ny drivers and removing ding in GNOME extensions (ChatGPT advised (not helping)) but still get crashes. I am able to run other games such as ARC Raiders, Silksong, Where Winds Meet with no crashes at all after multiple hours.

My specs are:

XFX 9070xt 16GB (newly upgraded and drived)

AM5 7800x3D

32gb DDR5 RAM

What to expect from Gamescope/Gamemode updates/features upstream from the upcoming Steam Machine?

13. Januar 2026 - 10:41

Surely there have to be some updates regarding: for example like - Gamemode support for Monitor hot plugging (resolution change on the fly in gamemode etc) - VR/streaming support - configurable ITM/HDR settings (not every monitor is the same..) - MAYBE multimonitor/virtual screen support for streaming? Honestly just an API to trigger resolution changes, refreshrate changes etc for games would be very welcome but unlikely - what else?

Given that the system is focused to be a "console"/"pc" with different displays plugged rather than a handheld with fixed hardware there should be updates to currently missing features for gamescope gamemode?

What else could you think of that needs improvement vs the current situation that could be solved in the process of making the Steam Machine?

Hearthstone graphics problems

13. Januar 2026 - 10:05

I switched my gaming pc from Windows to Ubuntu this past weekend and I’ve got most of my games functioning. The only one that I’m having problems with is Hearthstone.

I’ve got the latest GE Proton installed and I’m using Faugus to launch Battle.net. Battle.net and World of Warcraft are running fine, but Hearthstone looks like a series of screenshots, too slow for the game to be playable.

Any suggestions?

Planning to try Linux

13. Januar 2026 - 09:57

Hello!
I have question, have 2 monitor setup 1440p 165hz and 2560x1080portrait mode secondary screen
PC specs:
Rx 6700xt
5700x3d
32gb 3000 cl16
As I understood - Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS - seems to be good option to try out, but I do not have any understanding of Linux.
So my main question, is transitioning hard? (i have a bit understanding with Bios, like overclocking, timing management on ram, issue/device managing in windows, so a minimal PC understanding)
What can be issues I encounter?
If i have 2 SSDs, is it a good idea to have dual boot system where 1 SSD is main drive for windows and another for Linux? Is there difference how files are written on drives (external/internal) and can it cause any issue?
If there is some guide which explains this then I have missed it and would appreciate if you will drop link to it!

Looking to switch to Linux w/ a 1080Ti

13. Januar 2026 - 09:50

Hey guys, I'm looking to switch from Windows to Linux. I have a GTX 1080Ti and from what I remember, nvidia cards are not as compatible with Linux as AMD. So what kind of performance would I be seeing if I were to switch?

As for the distro I was thinking of Bazzite, but I am open to any other suggestions.
