LinuxOS for a first timer
I have dabbled a bit with Linux during my university studies, and are thinking about running Linux on my desktop. What are some recommendations you guys can give me? Both in terms of a distro, but also just some general tips about Linux for someone with not as much experience

Problem with Iris Xe driver on a laptop.
Hi! i have a Thinkpad T14 and was trying to play some games that ran great on windows, emulating on cemu for example, and not great on kubuntu or mint. It seems its an issue with the current driver i915 which is defaulted on any distro instead of the newer Xe, how do i change between them? How do i tell the OS that i want to use Xe instead of i915? Thanks in advance

Controller Vibration Issue on CachyOS
Hello,
I'm experiencing an issue with my Cosmic Byte Blitz controller on CachyOS. The controller is recognized and all buttons/axes are working as expected when tested with jstest /dev/input/js1. However, I'm not getting any vibration.
The controller's USB ID is Vendor ID: 20bc, Product ID: 5001 (ShenZhen ShanWan Technology Co., Ltd. Gamepad). I also tried xone driver and firmware and it did not solve the issue.
System Information:
- Kernel: 6.15.3-3-cachyos
- Controller Device Path: /dev/input/js1
Can any body help me with this?

Is there a way to change the “high dpi scaling” on a game in Linux (Jedi Knight, old game)
I’m playing with mouse and keyboard on steam deck, and I found the .exe files for Jedi Academy. Is there a way to disable/enable “high dpi”?
Thanks

Optiscaler DirectX11_12 gets stuck and fails
I was playing Crysis 3 remastered on Windows with optiscaler fsr 3.x dx11_12 setting on my 7800XT. It is a DX11 only game.
Read about fsr4 and jumped onto Nobara to test it out.
I've tried using different proton versions, from proton-ge to proton experimental and drivers from mesa git are used.
When I jump into the game, first I see, a 20fps drop native compared to windows (any way to fix this?) Plus when I enable optiscaler's fsr3.x dx11_12, the game gets smeary blurred and halts after few seconds altogether.
Does anybody know what could be the issue here? I'd like this translation to work as dx11 fsr3.x is not good.

Intel ARC graphics
How compatible and functional with Linux are Intel ARC graphics? I know they are not as good as AMD or Nvidia, but their prices are very tempting

Is Bazzite the best for simple console-like experience?
I know my way around Linux for pretty basic things, and have been trying to learn more as I go.
I have a PC at my desk, and another PC as my HTPC. My desktop is running cachyOS KDE, and it runs perfectly. KDE is the best DE for me because it seems to be the one that just works out of the box. HDR works without any hassle, gaming is no problemo, etc.
But that's with keyboard and mouse. It's my desktop PC where I browse thw web, do some gaming, do some work, etc.
On the otherhand, my HTPC is running Bazzite. Aside from initial HDR issue, it's also been flawless. I know CachyOS is much more lightweight than Bazzite is, and I'm sure there's some performance to gain here and there. But Bazzite to me has been the perfect gaming OS, because I can just pick up my controller and turn the machine on. It goes straight to Steam, I play a few games here and there, I then shut it down, without ever having to utilize a mouse or keyboard.
Before I commit any further, I wanted to just check if Bazzite is the distro to stick with for that kind of application. A machine that just does what it needs to do, I don't need to min max it, I value convenience and stability.
From what I read, CachyOS handheld is not supported for desktops because theres a script in the setup that checks to see whether your device is rog ally, steam deck, etc.
I have an Intel CPU with AMD GPU and just want the most convenient, stable and reliable distro.
And yes, that whole Fedora 32bit Bazzite fiasco gave me a scare for a sec.

The State of HOTAS setups with Proton
After a dozen hours of tinkering, I believe there is some ongoing issue with joystick compatibility with Proton and am reaching out to the wider community for discussion because it has exceeded my skillset.
Goal: Run two VKB Gladiators (premium right stick, omnithrottle left stick) in flight sims on Steam such as Elite Dangerous
Status of sticks: Both are detected perfectly as expected by KDE Plasma on Fedora 42 with the game controller tester. They also work correctly with remappers like input-remapper and AntiMicroX
Various results: Depending on which exact actions below are done, games always see either only the left stick as a dinput device, only the left stick as an xinput device, both sticks as xinput devices, or neither stick entirely.
The best result so far: Using udev rules and manual Wine Control Panel overrides, the right stick is working as expected, but the left stick continues to show as an Xbox controller.What I have tried:
Verifying the sticks work as expected in games on Windows
Disabling Steam Input globally and on a per game basis
Editing the registry to remove xinput from the device IDs on the prefix
(Elite Dangerous specific) Edited game files to include the VKB Gladiator PID/VIDs directly
Creating new udev rules according to the PID/VIDs listed with lsusb
Using the Wine Control Panel within the prefix to manually override the sticks from xinput to dinput. Using the dinput tab key checker, both sticks register all inputs and axes correctly.
One thing I have not specifically tried is updating the firmware. I'm using firmware 2.16.x because beyond this point, the sticks are extremely buggy with their inputs; various physical buttons get mapped to other virtual buttons and most notably several physical buttons all register as the same virtual button. Resetting to stock settings/calibration and related steps do not resolve this issue. Given this occurs with other brands/joysticks in the same manner, I find this to be an unlikely (given one stick works), not to mention unviable (bugs), solution.
Any discussion about potential causes in Proton or solutions would be welcome as this seems to be a very common issue affecting many people based on my searching.

Some time ago I created a small overview regarding gaming on Linux, did I miss anything?
I think it has everything to get people started, thoughts?
A question though: Do you know if any nice solution for modding got released recently? Last time I check it was a hot mess. Trying to gather some infos, so that I do not unnecessarily start from scratch.

New Steam Games Playable on the Steam Deck, with System Shock 2 Remaster - 2025-06-29 Edition
Linux, la verdad es que no eres tú, soy yo
¡Ay, la frustración me consume! Windows, el gran dolor de cabeza, es el problema principal. Hace apenas una semana, la necesidad me empujó a Linux. Un virus había secuestrado mi navegador en Windows, y dije: "¡Listo! Instalo Linux, aprender a usar la terminal será pan comido". Y sí, lo instalé. Todo fue espectacular: rápido, ligero... ¡una verdadera delicia! Linux, te amé desde el primer día, me dije: "Aquí me quedo, no vuelvo a Windows ni de broma".
Pero entonces, el verdadero calvario comenzó. Empecé a descargar el software que uso a diario en Windows. Y ahí, mi gente, ahí empezó el dolor de cabeza de verdad. Es un programa sencillo, EasyTether; me permite compartir mis datos móviles con una VPN, algo vital para mí, que me encanta andar de "explorador" con las VPN y los servidores. Pasé más de cuatro horas, sí, CUATRO HORAS, con ChatGPT, Grok y Gemini, intentando instalar ese programa. Fue tremendamente complicado porque solo es compatible con la versión 20.04 de Linux, y yo había instalado la 25.04. Hice unos trucos bien ingeniosos para forzar la instalación. Al final, lo instalé, ¿y qué? ¡No funcionó! Porque, claro, solo es compatible con versiones antiguas.
Así que, con una rabia contenida, decidí moverme a la versión LTS de Ubuntu, la 24.04. Y esta sí que es una belleza. La amo, todo súper fluido, todo con una vibra muy "sexy". Empecé a sentirme cómodo, a pensar que esta vez sí. Pero entonces, ¡mis juegos! Lo sé, sé que está mal, pero a veces me toca descargar juegos de páginas de "dudosa procedencia" porque mi presupuesto es ajustado, aunque en Steam, cuando puedo, aprovecho las ofertas. Decidí intentar correr uno de esos juegos, y ¡las mil y una maniobras que hice! Horas intentando que funcionara, ¿y saben qué? Ni siquiera pude abrirlo. Lo intenté con Lutris y, mijo, hasta ahí llegué.
Amo a Ubuntu, sí, es rápido, hermoso, personalizable hasta el alma, el audio y el video se sienten diferentes, con una calidad que Windows no da. Pero lo que no puedo soportar, lo que me saca de mis casillas, es su gran incompatibilidad con tantos programas, ¡incluso con los que supuestamente son nativos! Entrar a la web, buscar un programa, descargarlo, regresar a la web para una guía de instalación, meterse en la terminal y escribir un montón de cosas que no entiendo, descargando archivos de los que ni sé su propósito, para al final terminar con la misma noticia desmotivadora: "el software que intentas instalar no es compatible con Linux" o "solo funciona con versiones viejas".
Mi conclusión es clara: Te amo, Linux. Eres el mejor, el más seguro, el más rápido, el más hermoso. Pero, ¡ay!, también eres el más frustrante de usar. Ojalá llegue el día en que solo tenga que hacer clic, ejecutar, y ya. Pero por ahora, con el corazón roto y la paciencia agotada, me despido de ti.

Finally fixed stuttering and freezes with Overwatch 2
I posted issues with OW2 (steam) a month ago:
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/s/ip4ncQM112
and solved it on my current setup so posting if anyone else might find it helpful. Im on Arch and Hyprland, and all I needed to add was to set allow_tearing=true in hyprland config. I get a solid 120 FPS without drops, stutters or any shader precompilation. Seems like a driver issue as vsync shouldnt cause these problems in the first place
