Kitten Space Agency Pre Alpha

14 Nov 2025 - 9:55am

RocketWerkz just released the free pay as you wish Pre Alpha version of Kitten Space Agency.

Which is a good opportunity to both drown RocketWerkz in money and to demand a native Linux version with each and every contribution.

Valve just fixed my problem

14 Nov 2025 - 9:40am

I had already made a post in this subreddit a couple of months ago about switching to a PC and sell my Xbox, given my inability to continue using game pass Ultimate. The problem for me was that the games purchased on Microsoft Store obviously do not work on a Linux platform, but I am quite sure that this steam machine will support the possibility of installing Windows on it as well. Obviously I’ll wait for some benchmark videos about it, but it looks very interesting. Will you buy it?

Who's want PUBG's Steam Version to Be Operable on Linux. ??

14 Nov 2025 - 9:29am

Hello everyone, who wants the Steam version of PUBG to work on Linux?
If you do, leave a comment below this post.
Battleye anti-cheat already works on Linux!
You can find the Battleye runtime on Steam. You can find it by searching for it in the Steam app installed on your Linux system. All the PUBG developers need to do is change two or three lines. The game already runs on Proton. It should work!
Thanks for reading.

Note: This comment is not AI. I wrote it all myself. I only used a little translation.

Greetings from Türkiye :)

Streaming SBS 3d gameplay to a Quest 3 on Linux. Is it possible?

14 Nov 2025 - 9:13am

I have a dream that one day I may be able to play any game I own in flatscreen 3d using my vr headset. For months I have toiled with this problem. I am using Steam Tinker Launch to install reshade for Kingdom Come Deliverance so I can use the Geo3d shader. This gets me an sbs 3d video output that I can stream to my Quest 3 using Sunshine and Moonlight. I thought I would be able to enable 3d in the headset like you can when streaming a 3d video from YouTube, but this is not an option with Moonlight for some reason.

I am pleading on my hands and knees if you are somehow one of the other 100 people in the world that has tried to make this obscure setup work, is there a way to either enable that option for Moonlight, or a way I could use Wivrn or alvr to do this with something like virtual desktop. Or any other solution at all that doesn't involve dual booting Windows.

Why does turning off MSAA multisampling fix 4:3 stretch in Counter-Strike 2?

14 Nov 2025 - 9:01am

I felt like I just had to share this. Like many others who are trying to play CS2 on Linux, I ran into the challenge of getting Linux to run CS2 in 4:3 stretched mode. I've read about gamescope, vulkan-cs2-fix, adjusting video drivers and the like, all seemed too complicated to me.

I just recently began my Linux journey on Arch Linux with Hyprland.

I discovered that in my case, simply turning off MSAA multisampling while having set my aspect-ratio to 4:3 in the in-game settings magically made my game go from not being stretched to suddenly stretching over the entire display just the way I wanted.

Has anyone else experienced this?
Lastly, does anyone know why this even works? I'm a total beginner at this Linux stuff, and would love to know what is going on here as I feel this is too jank to actually be "the right way to do it"

Zorin Os on laptop

14 Nov 2025 - 8:52am

Hi! I just recently installed zorin os on my rtx4050 and ryzen 7 8845hs laptop and i came accross some questions that i need help with. First things first i have successfully installd the nvidia drivers and they seem to be working fine. Optimus is also working it seems. But i needed to install a seperate app to toggel the gpu on and off because in the Nvidia X app the integrated option is grayed out (maybe because i have a AMD cpu). And the dgpu only seems to worm when i put it to bypass mode and launch ony the apps with it I need. As of right now i have only tryed marvel rivals witch was a mixed exprience. I installd protom ge and used the needed lauch optinon and it workd fine. However i was worryed because every time i oped it it need to do the shader preloading thing and it shoot my cpu to 100% and 90 degrees celsius for a long time. Also performance was almost hafed copared to windows and my gpu unly used around 30w off power and it should do around 75watts conistetly or even more with dynamic boost. Also the fan speeds are a problem. In balanced mode they seem to be fine but on power mode they shoot up to maximum speed. And in the end i would like to ask if you have any f2p game reccomandations for me that know to be working well on linux. I rarely have time to game so i just need one or 2 games to play sometimes. Thanks for the help im advance!

Making the jump to linux what distro would you recommend me ?

14 Nov 2025 - 8:42am

Hello,
I've always used windows for my desktop, i'm selling my 3090 to buy a 9700xt and i think it's a great timing to switch to linux i've always wanted to try it out. I mostly play games on steam / emulate games using eden.

I'm not shy from the command prompt but never used it so much on windows and i always enjoy tinkering and learning new things !

I run a i5 14th 14600kf i belive there's only possible issue with the gpu if it's from nvidia in some cases but asking anyway.

steam deck plugins dexgi conflict

14 Nov 2025 - 8:40am

Here’s a clear, organized version of your message:

I use a Steam Deck and I’m trying to enable FSR 4 with Sekiro. To do this, I need the SekiroTSR mod, which hooks into ReShade as an add-on.

Sekiro doesn’t natively support any upscalers, so this mod adds DLSS through its own overlay.

After that, I want to activate OptiScaler to replace DLAA with FSR 4.

The problem is:

Both OptiScaler (Decky-Framegen plugin or even the manual version) and ReShade (LetMeReShade plugin for SteamOS) use DXGI.

They cannot be activated at the same time—one stops working if the other is active.

Is there any fix to make them work together?

Choosing a graphics card for my Linux machine... B580 vs RX9060-8GB

14 Nov 2025 - 8:26am

Hi all,

I don't know if this is the right place for the question, but here goes... I need to get a graphics card for my Linux machine. Basically I was happy with the onboard, but I need more desktop resolution for a new monitor. An entry GPU should be fine, I know, but if I get a GPU, then a bit of power is nice. I might even boot into Windows for some games or get steam running under Linux. With the support, Intel or AMD is my choice for Linux, so looking at my budget, it is the two mentioned in the title. The 9060-16GB is a little over my budget (maybe Black Friday will help). My question is:

Which of the two do you guys think is the most suitable/best choice? Idle power consumption is one of my considerations, but most of the tests don't show the Linux performance.

Is the 9060-8GB ok, or is it pointless and one should simply get the 16GB?

What are the deal breakers on either of these cards under Linux?

steamvr just will not work no matter what I do.

14 Nov 2025 - 7:26am

I've tried x11, wayland, going back to nouvea, etc.

I do not know what the issue is.

its not my GPU because I know the GPU can run steamVR on windows.

basically I get this message at the start that "steamvr has not finished its start up and might function wrongly as a result"

this happens even if I uninstall, restart, etc.

and when i try to connect it all i get the dreaded error 499 (video codec issue), I have literally no idea why because google yields no useful results.

I have steam installed from terminal from the steam website.

Can't Load Two FromSoft Games With Mangohud on Nobara

14 Nov 2025 - 6:55am

Hey y'all

When I run Armored Core 6 or Sekiro, I try to use mangohud with the mangohud %command% launch option in Steam. However, these games dont launch when I do this. They do launch and run flawlessly when I dont use mangohud.

My specs: CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x, GPU: 2080ti, 16 GB ram, using base Nobara. Im also using Proton GE, but I tried experimental and 9 as well, and neither worked. I tried other games (e.g. Adacca, Spyro, and some other boomer shooters) and Mangohud works for those games. It's specifically these two games that dont work with Mangohud. I could also provide logs if needed!

Trying to compile Doom64EX Plus and I'm completely lost.

14 Nov 2025 - 6:25am

For reference Doom64EX+

I'm very new to linux and I've not done much programing or compiling short of a little C# 10+ years ago, I recognize I'm pretty in over my head here and would appreciate the help.

I have installed fmod studio and i have downloaded the source files but when i attempt the make -j part of the process from inside the source code directory all i get is Makefile:2: *** FMOD_STUDIO_SDK_ROOT environment variable is not set. Point it to the root of the FMOD studio SDK that can be downloaded on https://www.fmod.com/download#fmodstudio. Stop. I've been searching the web for hours to find any information about how to compile this or what I'm doing wrong with fmod i tried setting the fmod root with export FMODROOT=/opt/fmodstudio but i still get the error.

Linux and Anti-Cheat

14 Nov 2025 - 5:13am

So I'm still new to Linux and learning the ends and outs of it, but one issue I'm seeing people across Linux forums and some YT videos complain about is how the anti cheat for most games work. On windows I know it access ring 0 on the computer which is a privacy concern but why can't we use apps like bottles and vm to make the anti cheat think were using windows? I've see some people say that they have gotten games like COD and Fortnite working on a vm by keeping the vm of windows on a separate drive from their Linux Distro but not always reliable.
From what I have found programs like bottles and wine makes a tiny virtual space for windows programs, so is the ring 0 (or what ever its called) not able be made in said virtual space?
Sorry if this is a annoying question sense it's talked about so much I just want to learn more about how computers do computer things and Linux has been such a fun learning experience for me.
