Sim racing digital dashboards (and other telemetry)

12 Feb 2026 - 7:28am

Hey everyone,

I've been building up (or trying to) a sim rig based on Linux and I've been able to set up assetto corsa with content manager and mods working. I'm also familiar with BoxFlat for FFB on moza (and others wheels).

Besides waiting for the dashboard display update for boxflat, does anyone have experience with mainstream digital dashboard software on Linux like simhub and stuff? And is there any software I can use for telemetry like timesheets/track maps/other graphs? I plan to have a 4 monitor set up with my 4th one being used for pitwall telemetry

Diablo 2 Reign of the Warlock: Just Use Windows

12 Feb 2026 - 4:20am

Title says it all.

Linux is a waste of time and energy, you're better off figuring out how to make Microsoft's boot on your neck and anal probes feel nice because you'll get nowhere trying to run Battle.net games on Linux.

Don't bother messing with drivers, Lutris, Steam, Wine, Bottles, Proton Plus, etc. you can reinstall Windows and get playing way faster, and skip the headache and dead ends.

Just installed bazzite for the first time, on a 4070ti and I know Nvidia have issues but any fix for this flickering?

12 Feb 2026 - 3:19am

flickering happens when my mouse goes to my second monitor but only in that bottom right half of the monitor near the taskbar. the steam overlay popup is also half missing so is there any solution?

XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition - Temperature

12 Feb 2026 - 3:05am

Hello everyone,

I just noticed that the temps of my "XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition" are rather high for my taste. As you can see, memory climbs up to 92°C while streaming + gaming S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly, Squad etc.

My question is, are these temps still safe? I have read that 90°C already is rather toasty for the memory, others say it is fine and it makes me feel uneasy.

AMD NVIDIA Hybrid GPU Setup Questions

12 Feb 2026 - 3:04am

Hey,

So I've installed and set up my new RX 9070 and it's working great. I happened to come across a 1050ti and wanted to see if I could run it in conjuction for PhysX support.

For context, I am using Debian 13, kernel 6.17.3, mesa 25.0.7-2, and just installed the NVIDIA 880.126.16 driver.

My questions:

1) How do I tell my system/game to use the 1050ti for PhysX? So far it seems like it's only using my RX 9070, but the PhysX in some games (Control) seem to be better? But that may just be wishful thinking. I've tried running nvidia-smi while in a game that I think is using PhysX for smoke particles (Cyberpunk 2077) and it said no processes were present for the NVIDIA card. I tried to do the same in Control and since I can't have another window open while playing the game, I couldn't get a true read on it.

2) How can I monitor both cards to make sure they are being utilized? I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to monitoring GPU performance and whatnot so any and all help would be appreciated. Please also point out where I can see temps as well.

3) More of a hardware question: I have about 2 inches of clearance between the cards (RX 9070 on top) and have two fans blowing from the front to the back with 2 outtakes fans as well. Do you think that's enough for cooling? Don't imagine the 1050ti will generate that much heat given it'll only be used for PhysX, but again, I'm a newb.

Thanks!

Fluorine Manager Release 0.0.3 Root Builder, FOMOD, OMOD, And Others Plugin Support

12 Feb 2026 - 2:15am

Other games should now be detected automatically instead of it just being Bethesda titles.

FOMOD And OMOD are now supported and should work.

Root Builder should work and is now ported over to disable the windows version of Root Builder. Its off by default so you will have to go to the settings and enabled it. It uses Reflink Copy and copy as a fallback and symlinks for the link mode.

INI creation should now work as intended and should no longer cause any issues when using use profile specific INIs. With INI recovery also supported.

You can now open an existing portable, instead of using a command in the instance switcher. As well as placing portable installs wherever you want at the end of it. Fluorine will continue to open the portable instance until you change it.

Added a better VFS recovery and mounting option in case the application crashes.

You can now also pick where you prefix goes, and installs too. Along with an improved fix game registries button.

ACER XV240Y on Linux

12 Feb 2026 - 12:26am

Hi!

I'm having an issue with my new Acer XV240Y monitor. I was running Garuda Linux without any problems on a Janus monitor i had, but since I switched to the new monitor, everything feels slow—not just games, but the entire desktop experience..

My setup: MSI Cyborg 15 A12V, Intel Core i7, and RTX 4060 GPU. Does this have something to do with Nvidia drivers ? Any solutions? Thanks!

So we’re just a tech support sub pretty much now right?

12 Feb 2026 - 12:00am

After this post removal https://www.reddit.com/r/linux\_gaming/s/bqWXpMKWSK (one of the biggest launches this year) and the mod comment about it not being “native”, this sub is just now 99% tech support then? With the occasional news about Mesa and Proton directly.

Respectfully mods, this is stupid. Are we really going back to the line of Proton isn’t Linux gaming now? That’ll really help Linux gaming adoption…
