Hi everyone. I'm trying to understand what's going on because this looks really abnormal.

Laptop:

Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3

Ryzen 5 (integrated AMD iGPU)

NVIDIA RTX 3050 / 3050 Ti

8 GB RAM (yes, I know it's not ideal, but this was

NEVER an issue before)

On Linux Mint, games run perfectly fine when they are the only thing running. But the moment I open a browser (Brave / Firefox), everything breaks(graphical session freezes)

This happens consistently when a game + browser are running at the same time.

Important details:

This did NOT happen before on other distros (Pop! _OS, Ubuntu) Same laptop, same hardware

What I already tried: NVIDIA drivers 580 and 535 Verified NVIDIA is actually used (nvidia - smi, OpenGL renderer = NVIDIA, not iGPU)

I would be very grateful for any help or suggestions. Thanks.

Hello everybody, ever since I switched to linux its been a mess with installing drivers for my thrustmaster TMX, do I've wanted to make something which would make that installation easier. So I did. Here is an automatic installer, no deadzone for me, FFB effects working perfectly. If you guys could give it a try and tell me if it works I would be thankfull. Works on arch with any kernel, should in fact work on Debian also Ubuntu but I haven't tried those. You can download the installer from here: https://github.com/Kuba7500/Thrustmaster_TMX_Driver

Hi there, In Jan I am aiming to remoce Windows and get Linux installed. I am currently playing ARC Raiders through steam. Can someone confirm if that game works on linux and on which linux platform?

I installed the game on Epic Games using Lutris, but the keyboard and gamepad aren't working. In Outlast, only the keyboard didn't work, the gamepad did, but in this one, neither works.

Skip to third paragraph to how to fix it, the second paragraph I explain about my problem.

This is for the archive known as reddit,
I spent 2 days trying to fix this issue, when lauching DCS in CachyOS with Proton, the winwing is not fully passed, the slider and the Z axis pass as one, only a few buttons and not the full 40+ buttons, Y axis was always inverted, I searched on Google, did not find the solution, I cursed at ChatGPT a lot until it was able to give me the correct answer, I admit, if the AI one day revolt, I'm one of the reasons, below is the copy-paste of the summary from ChatGPT on how to solve the issue, this worked for me flawlessly. (I read the summary to make sure it is what I did), If something does not work, give the link of this post to your AI as a source so that it know what was done

Fix: Flight stick inputs broken or incorrect in Proton on CachyOS (Winwing URSA Minor)

This issue occurs when Proton cannot access the correct HID device and/or SDL selects the wrong input device, even though the stick works fine in Linux tools.

The fix consists of three necessary layers:

1. Verify Linux input works

2. Fix hidraw permissions

3. Force SDL/Proton to select the correct device

1️⃣ Verify the flight stick works at the Linux level

Before touching Proton, confirm the kernel and input stack are correct.

Identify the device

lsusb

Expected output example:

ID 4098:bc2a Winwing URSA MINOR FIGHTER FLIGHT STICK R

Note the Vendor ID (4098) and Product ID (bc2a) — these are required later.

Test with evdev

evtest

Select the Winwing device and verify:

1. Axes move correctly

2. Buttons register correctly

If this fails, stop here — the issue is not Proton.

2️⃣ Identify the correct hidraw device

Proton often needs raw HID access for HOTAS devices.

List all hidraw devices and their owners:

for d in /dev/hidraw*; do echo "== $d ==" udevadm info -q property -n "$d" | egrep 'ID_VENDOR_ID=|ID_MODEL_ID=' done

Look for:

ID_VENDOR_ID=4098 ID_MODEL_ID=bc2a

Example result:

/dev/hidraw12

This is the device Proton must be allowed to read.

3️⃣ Fix hidraw permissions (this is the critical step)

By default, hidraw devices are owned by root:root and inaccessible to normal users, which breaks Proton input.

Add the user to the input group

sudo usermod -aG input "$USER"

Log out and log back in after completing this guide.

Create a udev rule for the Winwing stick

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-winwing-ursa-minor.rules

Paste:

# Winwing URSA Minor Fighter Flight Stick R SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="4098", ATTRS{idProduct}=="bc2a", MODE:="0660", GROUP:="input"

Explanation:

Targets only the Winwing stick

Grants group-level read/write access

Uses := to prevent later rules from overriding permissions

Reload udev and replug the device

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules sudo udevadm trigger

Physically unplug and replug the stick.

Verify permissions

ls -l /dev/hidraw*

Expected result:

crw-rw---- 1 root input ... /dev/hidrawX

If permissions are still root:root, the udev rule is not matching correctly.

4️⃣ Force SDL to select the correct device (very important)

SDL (used internally by Proton) often selects:

keyboards

wireless receivers

audio HID devices

instead of the HOTAS.

This causes:

missing axes

broken centering

random button mappings

Set Steam launch options

Steam → Game → Properties → Launch Options:

SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_IGNORE_DEVICES_EXCEPT=0x4098/0xBC2A %command%

This tells SDL to ignore all controllers except the Winwing stick.

5️⃣ Enable hidraw support in Proton

Some HOTAS devices require explicit hidraw support.

Add to the same launch options:

PROTON_ENABLE_HIDRAW=1

Final launch options:

SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_IGNORE_DEVICES_EXCEPT=0x4098/0xBC2A PROTON_ENABLE_HIDRAW=1 %command% submitted by /u/d4mm1tM00nM00n

I'm on CachyOS. I have a wireless gamepad with 3 modes (PC, Switch, Android). If I connect the gamepad directly using usb c cable it works normally, but if I use the dongle it would always go into Android mode which disables the rumble function. When I plug in the dongle and check journalctl -f, I got some error unable to read config. How do I fix this?

I launched steam from terminal after downloading through dnf. It works perfectly for some games, like inazuma or universal sandbox, but for some games like shotgun king and satisfactory, upon clicking play, it syncs cloud storage and then stops and the games do not actually launch. I've tried restarting and redownloading but it's still not working.

Running Fedora 43 on gnome Intel i7 Nvidia 4060rtx (I have the Nvidia drivers installed) 16gb ddr5

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Can i use Logitech G923 + Pedals + Shifter on Linux AnduinOS?
Can i use Logitech G HUB? Radeon Adrenalin? Ryzen Master?
I've never seen Linux Distro on live. Never touched Linux!
I have no idea what i am doing but this is the main reason i am still on WindowsOS.
I am playing exclusively Euro Truck Simulator 2 and i need 100% G HUB also for my G413 and G102.
I've been told that SIM Gaming is non-existend for Linux and it's Distros - is that true?

Hi! I've been wanting to play Detroit: Become Human on my CachyOS install with PlayStation prompts, but with Steam Input it only shows Xbox prompts, and my DualSense controller isn't supported because the game only accepts DualShock 4 as a working PlayStation controller. Is it possible to emulate/spoof my DualSense so it shows up as a DualShock 4 for the game, so I can have proper inputs and prompts? I'd appreciate any help I can get with this.
