Pro-tip: If you experience screen tearing in games turn OFF vertical sync.

22 Nov 2025 - 4:20pm

I know it seems contradictory because decades of experience says that turning on VSYNC will fix screen tearing in Windows, but Proton/DXVK/VKD3D already manage syncing the video content with your display refresh rate, so turning on software VSYNC just adds another layer and creates desyncs.

It's still worth setting frame rate limits if you're like me and don't see faster than 60hz.

Arc Raiders mouse issue

22 Nov 2025 - 3:53pm

I have an issue playing Arc Raiders under Proton. I'm running it fullscreen, the mouse is captured but I can only turn about 120 degrees before my mouse hits like an invisible wall and I can't turn anymore. Also in my limited play attempts there seems to be a vertical scroll problem where my mouse hits a vertical limit and won't go below that either. I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem and how it may be fixed.

edit: archlinux running cosmic.

Sims 2 on Linux makes both monitors go black (no signal) but audio keeps playing — AMD GPU

22 Nov 2025 - 3:15pm

I’m running The Sims 2 (Magi Packs) on Linux with an AMD GPU, and I keep getting a weird crash:

  • Both monitors suddenly go black / no signal
  • Game audio keeps playing
  • Keyboard shortcuts don’t work (Ctrl+Alt+F3, REISUB, etc.)
  • I have to force power off
  • ONLY happens with Sims 2, nothing else

Logs don’t show mod or game errors.

Has anyone with AMD had this issue?

No Audio With Forge on Minecraft 1.7.10

22 Nov 2025 - 3:15pm

So I've tried all the fixed like This Method or This Method. Ive done the "Use Native OpenAL Library" Option and nothing it worked once and then never again and idk why it did that.

Ive been going at it for 2 days straight. This works out of the box on Windows 11 but when I tried on Linux it didn't work. When I use a non Modded version of 1.7.10 audio works fine. Its literally just the Forge version that seems to not work. I just wanna play some single player dragon block mod 😢

For reference I've tried the actual Minecraft launcher and Prism Launcher and both don't work. I'm on Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon. Using a whole AMD machine.

Any help on this would be insanely Appreciated!!!

CachyOS Can't deactivate Gyro control on the right controller on Legion Go 1

22 Nov 2025 - 2:10pm

Hello, guys. I have a very specific problem regarding my Legion Go. I currently have CachyOS installed, and it is great, but whenever I take the controller off it, in Steam Big Picture mode, it activates the gyro controller on the right controller. I already deactivated it in Handheld Daemon, looked into the Steam controller settings and updated my LeGo to the newest version of CachyOS, but the gyro controls are still active.

You can now officially make an Arm64 build of Proton

22 Nov 2025 - 1:56pm

Link

With recent Proton Experimental update you can now build an Arm64 version of Proton. It was actually available in bleeding edge branch since last week, but kinda went unnoticed.

It's not going to work until we have a Arm64 build of Steam client though, but you can try it with something outside of Steam.

Lutris showing game as "Missing"

22 Nov 2025 - 1:29pm

Whenever I open up Lutris Minecraft is being displayed as "Missing". It runs fine and I don't think it's because it's uncategorized.

How can I set my main GPU?

22 Nov 2025 - 1:20pm

I have a build with two GPUs, one 3070 Ti and one 2060. Before installing the 2060 every game was okay, but since I've installed it all games crash. I believe it's because it's using the 2060 as primary card when it shouldn't. How can I fix this and choose my 3070 Ti as primary?

Running Skyrim + Heroic + Modding (Vortex) on Linux

22 Nov 2025 - 1:12pm

Hoping someone will find this use-full. Skyrim and Fallout 4 are games, that give me the most fun because of modding. Building a stack, play the game until it crashes and start over. Linux has always been a no-go area because modding has always been a pain. This time, I hope to have found a good solution.

I own Skyrim AE from the GOG store, installed it through heroic and noticed that Heroic installed it at its toplevel which is ~/Games for me. I also noticed that Heroic created a prefix in its default path where other software is installed.

I created a Games folder in the default path drive_c folder and moved the Skyrim folder to drive_c/Games/.

My experience is that Skyrim crashes if started from Vortex or MO2 if the game. path is exotic like, Z:\home\[username]\...... So in this setup I installed vortex in the drive_c where skyrim can be found and skyrim (SKSE) can be launched from Vortex (or Heroic) without crashing.

Other usefull tips are welcome!

Driving simulator fanatec club sport v2.5 support

22 Nov 2025 - 12:10pm

Hey there, my brother found a "fanatec club sport v2.5" driving simulator, and asked me to make him a pc to play with it. I was wondering if it's supported on Linux, playing with Steam, and maybe what distro should I install for him (he is not a power user).

Thank you everyone!

How has the hibernate mode evolved on Linux laptops?

22 Nov 2025 - 12:03pm

Hi,

I was a hardcore Linux user in the 2010's while I was in college then starting my career. I since moved to MacOS and Windows (with WSL) but I'm considering getting a Linux laptop.

One of my favorite features on MacBooks is the amazing startup times and sleep/hibernate modes. I only needed to restart my MacBook once every couple months or so, and it only takes a couple second to leave hibernation mode.

I'd like to know if the situation has gotten better on Linux laptops over the past few years. It's probably better than Windows from what I'm seeing on gaming handheld reviews as people are able to easily pause a game and resume after the device went on sleep mode. But in general, how often do you need to restart your laptop or how often does it restart automatically when you put it in hibernate mode every day?

Thanks
