Hello, I'm currently really into deadlock and was wanting to upgrade my mouse from a razer deathadder v2 pro to something with more side buttons, but I've heard that a lot of mice with multiple buttons don't work on Linux. I've read a few other similar posts and a lot of them recommend moba mice with 9+ side buttons and that's honestly way too many for me. I need something that is wireless (no wired suggestions pls) with 4-6 side buttons that will work well in an FPS game. Thanks everybody!

Hello, I'm Antti and I have been making KAUNA as solo developer for couple of years. It is retro style FPS game (Boomer Shooter) with Finnish twist. It is made on Linux using open source free tools such as Godot Engine and Blender.

Game starts at Finnish cottage when portal to Underworld opens and demonic forces are ruining your evening. You must then enter the Underworld and save your cottage!

I recently opened Steam page for KAUNA so if you are interested it can be wishlisted! There are also playable version on Itch.

Hi!

I have a problem that my linux and G502 mouse doesn't work perfectly in linux. When I try to press the side buttons I get a touchpad on/off notification on the bottom of the screen, even if I have disabled my touchpad completely in mouse settings.

Also I've tried switching the buttons in piper but the buttons seems not to be working. I have installed ratbagd, and I am using linux mint! I've been googling this, but seems like that touchpad thing isn't that common. I just want that notification off, and to be able to use the side buttons! I've tried to change the buttons to numpad keys but it doesn't work too.

I am a complete linux noob, I've been using it for like 2 weeks, but I hope you understand! Thanks in advance! :)

Hi All,

I posted the other day about best distro for steam, streaming, and Warcraft. A lot of people suggested Bazzite but I pivoted at the end and went with Pop/CinnamonDE. So far I have been able to do all of the above without issue. I was disappointed to discover a game I was looking forward to was Windows only.

I also found out the hard way that the keyboard I purchased (Aula) was not compatible.

I had some terrible lag with keyboard and mouse on Pop_OS itself but it has mostly resolved since changing over to Cinnamon per a suggestion I found in an old thread.

It is definitely a learning curve coming from Windows but I'm working on a tech. degree so I need to force myself to be well-rounded.

WoW runs flawlessly, but I have not tried to mod yet.

Hope this post helps someone down the road. Thanks again!

I use Linux Mint and have a nvidia gpu. Everytime I try to pair it using the wireless dongle it connects and disconnects over and over again or it connects for a short time and disconnects again. I use xone. Any idea on how to fix my issue?

Edit: If I pull the dongle out plug it in again and pair the controller again it works.

Edit2: After some time it still disconnects.

Hello, I'm struggling to resolve an issue I'm having with Unreal engine games running under Proton in Linux.

The games run perfectly fine for the most part, however in both Abiotic Factor and Borderlands 2 I've discovered that after around 45mins or so of gameplay, they'll suddenly start to stutter.

When this happens, any movement of the character, either by the keyboard or mouse causes the FPS to plummet, before going back up and plummeting again. It doesn't appear to be a performance issue, it's just... as if the game gives up after a while. If I remain stationary the FPS goes back up to 60.

I've tried different versions of Proton which doesn't seem to fix anything. I also lowered my mouse polling rate (as that was suggested after some googling) but that also doesn't resolve the issue.

Interestingly (see attached video) the CPU usage actually drops down during input, so anytime the keyboard and mouse is interacted with the CPU usage seems to half, which might be related? (I'd have expected the opposite to be honest but... yeah weird).

I've attached system details below, yeah not the best rig in the world but I really can't see how it's a performance thing since the games run flawlessly up until they don't.

I'm new to Linux, I'm building a gaming pc, and I love Minecraft.

I want nothing to do with windows and Microsoft's shady ass but I still want to play Minecraft so here are my concerns:

- if I play Minecraft on Linux, does Microsoft still access my data?

- is it because of the Microsoft account login thingy? if so what do I do?

- is it because of the launcher? if so what do I do?

AND WHAT DO I DO IF I JUST WANT TO PLAY MINECRAFT WITHOUT BEING CREEPED AT???????????

so in the past i've used CachyOS although i've recently decided i wanted to move over to vanilla Arch.
i've installed it through the wiki and now have a basic system, Hyprland with steam, discord, a browser, simple things.
although the first thing i've noticed is that i've been getting some issues with artifacts that wasn't present before and also that my PC is using a higher GPU usage at a lower frame rate then when on CachyOS.
i'm using the Linux 6.14.2-273-tkg-eevdf kernel but other then that i haven't done anything to improve performance and i'm looking for advice to get things running nicely.

here's a fastfetch if it's of any importance

I was very lucky to get my hands on a 9070 XT and have just finished a fresh install of Arch Linux as I wanted to change some major configuration with my setup. Appears to be working all ok however I can't get any Vulkan games to run, I'm running the Mesa 25.0.3 and zen kernel 6.14.2. As far as I was aware that should be all that's required?

Any recommendations?

Hey folks,

I’ve been working on a new Linux distribution called SFGOS – it’s a lightweight, performance-focused distro built with gamers and power users in mind. One of the core features that sets it apart is Starpack, a custom package manager I’m writing entirely in C++.

Starpack is designed to be:

Extremely fast (thanks to native C++ performance and minimal overhead)

Clean and simple in syntax (no bloated configs or redundant variables)

Hook-based, meaning packages can trigger system-level actions without scripting madness

.starpack packages use tar.gz internally but follow a strict layout, making parsing and handling smooth.

Not done yet, but basics are definitely complete. (Install, remove, update, hooks, BASIC repos, etc.

SFGOS itself is also being developed with custom components:

Pulse Desktop: my own C++ desktop environment (panel and launcher as separate executables, not ready for a long time)

A graphical setup assistant

Game-ready configurations out of the box

Right now, I’m hosting and building everything on my own server. The OS is still in active development, but the core tools are working — package installs are lightning-fast and dependency resolution is simple and predictable.

I’m planning to launch a public beta soon, but for now I’d love feedback, questions, and maybe even collaborators if anyone’s interested.

I am also thinking about switching to .tar.xz for the packages.

Creating a website at www.sfgos.net, (not ready yet, any website designers?)

Thanks for reading! Let me know what you think or ask me anything.

I have community shaders installed and there is a DLSS option listed. I have a graphics card that supports DLSS, but anytime I enable it, my game crashes. I have other games that utilize DLSS and they run fine with it enabled.

Has anyone else encountered this issue or have any suggestion on resolving it?

Thanks!
