Broken native ports

19 Nov 2025 - 4:41pm

Bought some new games recently, some of which to my surprise utilize older native Linux ports. Imagine my shock when they open on the wrong monitor, handle resolutions incorrectly, crash, and come with a laundry list of other bugs. Often times, these native games didn't work properly with past Windows saves, either. It dawned on me one of my biggest concerns with Linux gaming blowing up is broken native ports that deter users away from a smooth experience. You can absolutely just switch to Proton and these issues magically disappear, but there's *tons* of games where this is a problem.

What is to be done? As the Steam Machine finds its way into people's living rooms, they want a low-maintenance machine that just runs games, and it seems like broken/shoddy native ports are an obstacle.

Arch Linux update

19 Nov 2025 - 4:02pm

I made a post two days ago mentioning how I had a million and one issues with OpenSUSE and CachyOS. A lot of rude comments insulting my intelligence or misinterpreting my statements. My entire post was removed so figured I would give an update in a new post.

Spent 2 hours last night just building Arch Linux instead of using a downstream distro of Arch. Got the performance I was expecting with World of Warcraft running at 250fps at 1440p on High settings.

Some people may have success with OpenSUSE or CachyOS but I didn't and there could be a multitude of factors. Simply building Arch from scratch allowed me to determined what I wanted exactly instead of the distro coming preloaded with a bunch of stuff. Point is, I got it working way faster and more stable in Arch compared to all the other distros.

So... No, I'm not a wintard who doesn't understand Linux and just rage quits.

+4 gamepads

19 Nov 2025 - 3:49pm

Does anyone have experience with SteamOS or the "gaming" distros where it comes to having +4 gamepads? The experience is not at all smooth with Windows. I don't have room in my life for going from bad to worse.

I have an assortment of Gamepads, old Logitech's, GameSir Teganaria T3, and some other random no names who fake being a PS4, Switch or XBox controllers.

“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change so STOP complaining about Windows but also saying you NEED...

19 Nov 2025 - 3:25pm

Nothing is going to change if you just keep dealing with it. Either stop supporting something you don't like or stop complaining about it. I don't particularly care if you use Windows or Linux or Mac or Temple OS... Just stop complaining about it when you can start the change you want to see in the world.

Did the collective world just lose its balls? Do people complain for complaints sake? My 10 yr old does this and I correct him too.

I want those games on Linux, I want all games on everything MAC, Linux, Windows. But if i just suck it up and take what's given nothing will change.

I was just annoyed by all the Windows complaining but then sucking it up and taking it in the next sentence.

Stalker 2 and FSR4

19 Nov 2025 - 2:59pm

Hi sub! I have a very specific question: as of today, is there a way to get FSR4 working in Stalker 2 but not on CachyOS? I'm checking ProtonDB constantly but the only mentions for the FSR4 are from CachyOS users and i'm on vanilla Arch. Have someone get it work already? If yes, could you please share your Proton version and launch arguments? Thanks!

EDIT: the gpu is 9070 XT

Been trying to find a fix for this on steam proton

19 Nov 2025 - 2:55pm

Using steam Proton to play GTA SA with the downgraded modded 1.0 i've tried versions 7-10 i have the WINEDLLOVERRIDES enabled. The intro videos will not play and default to this. From what I can gather it is codec related, but I have no clue how to do that through steams proton.

Recommend a new laptop!

19 Nov 2025 - 2:10pm

Title says it all really. Been rocking a DELL XPS 15 but has got some damage (mainly the hinge is broke and it’s more expensive to repair than to get a new one at this point, plus no warranty left).

That being said, what would be a good replacement in 2025? Eyeing a Thinkpad, though would prefer a slim model with a decent screen. Also those ASUS laptops seem decent, but not sure how’s the hardware support on Linux.

Mainly looking to have:\ 14/15” Display\ Added GPU\ Good keyboard\ Good battery life\ Excellent Linux support

Would rather use AMD, Ryzen 5/7/9 if applicable

Let me hear what you guys think!

The Steam Machine means Linux in the Living room

19 Nov 2025 - 1:57pm

I'm a Linux daily driver. I have a YouTube channel where I cover gaming. I was so impressed with the possibility of the new steam machine that I made two videos about it. This is part two where I go over specific questions I have Plus I talk about how some of my concerns were asuaged.

CachyOS or Bazzite for AMD gaming + programming?

19 Nov 2025 - 12:47pm

Hey everyone,
I’m finally thinking about switching from Windows to Linux and I’m stuck between CachyOS and Bazzite. My main uses are gaming and programming, and I’ve seen a ton of mixed opinions about both.

I’m comfortable with terminals and setting things up, I’m just worried about choosing something that ends up not working well for my workflow.

So if you daily-drive either one:

How stable has it been for you? Any issues with gaming (Steam, Proton, Lutris, etc.)? How is it for developers long-term? Which one would you pick for a Windows user moving over for the first time?

Would love to hear real experiences before I install anything. Thanks!

How it goes these days..

Honestly, I see more people hating on Linux users for being obnoxious elitists than the thing they're hating on.

[Tutorial] Installing Halo SPV3 using Lutris

19 Nov 2025 - 12:28pm

Few days ago tried and setup Halo SPV3 on Linux.
If you guys love Halo CE, I call this a must try Overhaul Mod.

Just one issue: While Halo SPV3 has method to detect Steam Halo MCC installation, I've never got it work in Windows or Linux. So it will be good to be prepared with a Halo CE CD Key to setup Halo Custom Edition.
