Games That Need NVME

3 Mar 2026 - 8:00am

Are there games that specifically need NVME drives and have performance issues on SATA SSD? I’m not talking about loading times but real in-game smoothness.

RE9 not working

3 Mar 2026 - 7:58am

now I'm not running a monster but I got a 8700k with 16gigs of ram and an arc a750 on bazzite

I'm able to run most modern games rather well on this HTPC, how ever RE9 launches, compiles shaders and then just freezes on the next loading screen.

if anyone has any ideas let me know

🎮 [RESOLVIDO] Funlab Firefly não conecta via Bluetooth no Pop!_OS 24.04 (fica conectando e desconecta)

3 Mar 2026 - 4:38am

Fala pessoal,

Depois de apanhar algumas horas tentando fazer meu Funlab Firefly funcionar via Bluetooth no Pop!_OS 24.04, consegui resolver e estou deixando aqui o passo a passo caso ajude alguém.

🖥️ Sistema
  • Pop!_OS 24.04
  • Kernel: 6.18.7-76061807-generic (System76)
  • Controle aparece como: Xbox Wireless Controller
  • Driver usado: hid_xpadneo
❌ Problema

O controle:

  • Funcionava normalmente via cabo USB
  • Pareava no Bluetooth
  • Mostrava Pairing successful
  • Mostrava ServicesResolved: yes
  • Logo depois ServicesResolved: no
  • Não ficava conectado

Às vezes também aparecia:

org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationFailed 🔎 Diagnóstico
  • dkms status mostrava hid-xpadneo como instalado
  • Mas lsmod | grep xpad não mostrava nada
  • Secure Boot estava desativado
  • O Bluetooth pareava, mas o serviço HID falhava

O problema era:

✅ SOLUÇÃO 1️⃣ Carregar o xpadneo manualmente sudo modprobe hid_xpadneo

Confirmar:

lsmod | grep xpad

Deve aparecer:

hid_xpadneo 2️⃣ Desativar ERTM (PASSO MAIS IMPORTANTE)

Teste temporário:

echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/module/bluetooth/parameters/disable_ertm

Para deixar permanente:

echo "options bluetooth disable_ertm=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/bluetooth.conf

Reinicie o Bluetooth:

sudo systemctl restart bluetooth 3️⃣ Remover pareamento antigo bluetoothctl

Dentro:

remove XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX quit 4️⃣ Parear novamente pelo terminal (não pela interface gráfica) bluetoothctl

Depois:

power on agent on default-agent scan on

Coloque o controle em modo pareamento:

👉 Home + X (modo Xbox)
Se não funcionar, teste Home + Y

Quando aparecer:

scan off pair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX trust XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 🎉 Resultado

Depois disso:

  • Controle conecta normalmente
  • Não desconecta após ServicesResolved
  • Funciona no sistema e na Steam
  • Sem quedas aleatórias

Você pode confirmar com:

dmesg | tail

Deve aparecer algo como:

hid_xpadneo: Xbox Wireless Controller connected 🧠 Por que isso acontece?

O Funlab Firefly é um controle clone que:

  • Se identifica como Xbox
  • Usa implementação Bluetooth diferente
  • Falha com ERTM ativado
  • Precisa do hid_xpadneo em vez de HID genérico

No kernel 6.18 do System76, o módulo nem sempre carrega automaticamente.

Any game recommendations that are small desktop experiences and natively compatible?

3 Mar 2026 - 4:31am

As the title suggests, I am looking for a game, preferably on Steam, that is idle or idle adjacent that can be done on the desktop. This is an example of the experience I am looking for:

Steam Overlay for Flatpak Steam

Does anyone know how to get the Steam Overlay working in game? I am using Flatpak Steam, and Shift+Tab does nothing. I have it enabled in the settings. Is this a limitation on Wayland?

Contoller "feels" less responsive on Linux

3 Mar 2026 - 4:12am

So I have to ask if anyone else has noticed this. I play on both Windows and Linux. My main game is Rocket League. Using an xbox one controller wired. Everything works, performance is great (all AMD hardware). But for some reason the joysticks (and maybe the triggers but it's not as noticeable) just feel off on Linux. I get used to it after some time though, but I was on my Windows install today and fired up Rocket League there to play a few matches and the joysticks just felt a ton better. They felt more responsive and like 100% in a direction turns sharper on Windows than on Linux.

I also noticed when playing Rocket League on my steam deck where if I'm inputting say 3 inputs at the same time (so up and to the right while hitting my air roll button for example) one of my inputs sometimes stops registering until I let off and press it again.

I'm assuming it's down to the quality of the driver, but I can't quite put my finger on what exactly is happening. It's like the acceleration from dead center to full a direction is slower and like all the way to a direction inputs less total movement than on Windows.

Any ideas welcome, kinda just brain dumping on this one.

What is the best alternative to Free Pie and VJoy for Linux?

3 Mar 2026 - 1:41am

I use these two programs to emulate a steering wheel and pedals with KBM in Assetto Corsa. The nice thing about this Python script is that it makes the steering wheel (mouse) less sensitive in the center and more sensitive at the edges

So I was thinking of switching from bazzite

3 Mar 2026 - 1:21am

Pretty much the title but I was wanting some feedback from the community. I use bazzite on pc in just desktop mode, no game mode, but ive noticed some stuttering every once in awhile and ive been looking at cachy and nobara.

I've heard more about cachy and it looks like it might be optimized a little better all around.

I like the atomic structure with btrfs but at the same time editing ostree for many cli packages is annoying. I also like the ujust updater and the whole cli program really. Does cachy or nobara have something similar or are they more in line with what you'd expect from linux?

PS5 controller rumble in Monster Hunter Wilds

3 Mar 2026 - 12:17am

Hey everyone,

I’m running MH Wilds on CachyOS (KDE Plasma) using Proton Experimental. My PS5 DualSense controller works great for everything except vibration/rumble in Monster Hunter Wilds. Haptic triggers work (like the tension when zooming the map), but there’s no vibration when attacking, getting hit, etc.

What I’ve tried: - Rumble is enabled in both Steam and in-game settings - Steam Input must be enabled for the controller to work at all - hid-playstation module is running and up to date - Steam controller tester rumble works - Rumble works perfectly in other games (Elden Ring, etc.) on the same setup

It really seems to be just MH Wilds that isn’t sending vibration, though the rest of the controller features and mappings work. Has anyone else run into this, or found a workaround?

Thanks in advance
