iI can't use MangoHUD in Faugus Launcher

29 Nov 2025 - 4:35pm

I recently performed a clean install of Nobara 43 and for some reason I can't use MangoHUD in Faugus Launcher. I thought it was a MangoHUD problem, but it works correctly in Steam and Lutris. Should I reinstall MangoHUD?

In the launcher, I can't select the MangoHUD option, and if I add it as an argument, the game won't open.

Please help me

29 Nov 2025 - 4:17pm

So I asked how to Hogwarts legacy lagging more on Linux than on windows and you told me to uninstall the amdgpu driver and just use mesa. I uninstalled amdgpu, my system broke and I needed to enter through recovery mode to reinstall amdgpusince at first many apps weren't working and after a rebbot nothing happened when I selected kubuntu on grub. Should I switch os and get bazzite or something else?

The state of modding games in Linux (Small rant)

29 Nov 2025 - 1:16pm

There has been one topic, that was on my mind since I went to Linux 3 months ago. I tried different distros and don't want to look back to windows, ever again. But there is one thing that I wish would be better.

Modding Games. I just fall in love of the idea of revisiting old games with a new perspective, namely: A mod compelation I've got from either wabbajack but mostly Nexus Mods.

I do know LIME & MO2 exist, but I am unable to make Vortex work and the native version is still in it's first baby steps and will take months if not years to get to the point. Also both don't support afaik not the wonder that is a mod compelation, a combination of mods that just work well together. If anybody know a way to make vortex work in Linux (Yesterday I learned of NaK, but it only supports a view games and no compelations).
PLEASE enlighten me

Limo (Mod Manager) and Skyrim / Starfield : help

29 Nov 2025 - 11:32am

Hi everyone, I'm using Bazzite and wanted to go back to some Bethesda games like Skyrim, Starfield and also the Fallout : London massive mod based on Fallout 4.

But today I'll let Fallout : London aside because I'm trying to use mods and especially Silverlock's Script Extender work for both Skyrim & Starfield (mainly Starfield first).

I have followed the extensive Limo tutorial and set my deployers accordingly (Install, Bin, Plugins). I have downloaded the latest SFSE (Starfield Script Extender) but unlike Skyrim's, there's only one mod installed in this case (probably because SFSE doesn't come with a Data folder). Anyway, I set SFSE in the Bin deployer, copy & paste the sfse_loader.exe to Starfield.exe as it is specified in the tutorial.

I install just a few mods that require SFSE to work, I set them in the Install deployer, lauch the game and... Nothing ! No mod loaded, not even the ones that doesn't require SFSE.

Then I click "Deploy" on both Bin & Install deployers. Silly me ! I start the game and... I have a dial box appearing saying "You have renamed sfse_loader and not specified the name of the runtime." And I don't know where I'm supposed to specify the name of the runtime at all.

If anyone has an idea ^

Looking to try another distro with a dedicated game mode similar to SteamOS, are CachyOS/Nobara/Bazzite my only choices or are there more?

29 Nov 2025 - 9:58am

I use my PC on my TV and I'm looking for a distro with a dedicated game mode. I've tried CachyOS, Nobara, and Bazzite and I'm wondering if there are any more.

I am using AMD.

Thanks in advance.

You can try my roguelike word game Lexispell on Steam!

29 Nov 2025 - 9:12am

Hey guys, if you like word games, you might enjoy Lexispell. It's a cozy roguelike word game with a physics twist. You spell words, pick upgrades and consumables and try to score enough points to progress to the next step.

I'm currently running a playtest on Steam and you can request access. If you really want to play, please send me a DM, I'll give you an override key so you don't have to wait to be selected.

I'm developing the game on Linux so I know it works well but I'd love to get more people to try it and give me feedback! It works well on the Steam deck too (touchscreen, mouse or gamepad).

League of Legends via an Windows emulator

29 Nov 2025 - 8:48am

hi, I've been using Linux, namely Nobara for a few months now and have been loving the experience, but i still dualboot because i like to play league sometimes.

here's the question: is it possible to play via an emulator with reasonable performance? has anyone tried that before?

EDIT: i meant virtual machine instead of emulator, mb
