I’m on Ubuntu 25.10 and Steam is installed via Snap, and from one day to the next the icons disappeared. I vaguely remember that many years ago, when I tried Ubuntu for the first time, the same thing happened to me, but I didn’t stick around long enough to fix it

Any help is welcome, thanks

The answer kinda surprised me most said it was the lack of cheat utilities like cheat engine/wemod, wand. I know there are work arounds to get them working in Linux but you would think since cheat engines source code is on GitHub someone would have ported it by now.

So, overall i'm not a big time PC gamer, I come from the world of console. however, I built a PC recently and figured, since I can, I might as well game on it from time to time.

Recently installed steam on my linux machine. I used the version from the steam website instead of the the snap version so I can play more titles. The snap one was too limited. Everything installed correctly but I have some minor trouble.

Issue: Some games crash and I can't figure out why. For example half-lyfe or left4dead will open, and then will just crash after a few minutes. Sometimes right away.

I'm not over heating, no cpu spikes.

My specs: 9060xt 16gb, 9900x CPU, 32gb 6000 ram. OS: Ubuntu.

Any thoughts?

I built Runner-Manager because I was bored and wanted a way to simplify Proton and Wine management without the mess. It's more than just a launcher; you can manage your runners entirely—create them, download versions like GE or CachyOS, and even import or export them as portable archives. When you add a game or program, the app extracts the icon and details automatically. You can choose a specific runner for each app and create desktop or menu shortcuts that actually work with the correct icons.

The app handles save directories for easy backups and includes a patch system to keep your runners clean while switching between them. There is an "Add to Steam" feature to bind non-Steam games (useful for games from other sources) directly to your Steam library to use Steam Input. On the technical side, it includes kernel-based XInput emulation using xone and uinput so controllers work natively. It also has full multilingual support (English, Spanish, etc.) and detects your language automatically.

The Prefix Manager has its own file explorer with quick shortcuts to things like AppData or Documents. It can scan a prefix to find installed software (like Office) and add it to your library. It also includes direct access to CMD, PowerShell, Winetricks (with a recommended list), and the Wine control panel. I also added a system tab that checks if your host is missing gaming dependencies or SDL3 and installs them for you with one click.

If you have any ideas or want to collaborate, feel free to check out the repo: https://github.com/RexxColder/Runner-Manager

A sneak peak on what the next update hopefully should be. It's going to literally just be MO2 fully ported to Linux. Mainly the Rust build was a placeholder for the VFS and I got that working, the VFS still needs to be fine tuned a bit but hopefully I should have something out either tonight or tomorrow.

So, I've watched this video recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pno-7ZcA0E

It covers Linux vs Windows performance in Factorio with quite a bit of depth. One of the optimization done is adjusting page size and it got me wondering :

What are the general optimization leavers one can use in a Linux system to make it more suitable for gaming specific workload ?

I've got a short list of things that could improve performance here :

• Page size, covered in the video
• Linux kernel (Zen, Standard, etc)
• Probably the CPU scheduler ?
• I assume you can do CPU isolation or pinning

There's probably a few more, please share if you have them in mind.

While it's nice to read about them, I have yet to see in depth gaming benchmarks in a large set of games on those specific variables. Most recommendations I've seen are hand wavy and not really data driven. Sometime we get some recommendations, but on a very low game sample list, not something large enough to understand trends and give strong recommendations for.

On Windows, there's plenty of channels dedicated to inspecting performance on many aspect. I feel like with Linux we have many more easily accessible leavers to play with, yet there's very little high quality benchmarks out there. I could not find much.

In the video, he covers substantial gain just from changing just changing the page size, it help with memory pressure, but that's a single game so.. I don't think it will apply everywhere, probably game specific, but I have yet to find anything that would substantiate general guidelines.

Thoughts on this ? Is there a place where we have more data on the subject ?

Can anybody give me a step by step guide on using PartyDeck? I am so stumped by this. I have the correct handler, I have the files, so why won't it start? I'm not even touching Proton - it's all native! And there's zero documentation out there! All I know is that "eframe app" won't start.

Anyone have any insights on how to fix this?

It worked fine for a while after a fresh install of cachy a couple of weeks ago but it's now started locking up after a 10-15 mins of playing.

Running it through steam and so far i've tried a few different versions of proton, from 10 and 9 but nothings helped.

Earlier I was just trying out different games since I am new to Linux gaming. I only have a Dual Sense.

One thing I noticed was, haptic feedback never worked in any game. So I decided to try Cyberpunk and Days Gone. One thing I noticed was adaptive trigger worked in both the games, but not haptic feedback. That means game is detecting the sony drivers, but somehow the signals were not reaching the controller.

I made sure Steam Input was disabled in all the games.

I have tried Proton Cachy, GE Proton and Proton Experimental. Tried setting Dual Sense to Pro Audio in settings and set the 3rd and 4th audio channel to full. Tried changing the name of Dual Sense to Wireless Controller. Tryied renaming both Kernel/System level and wireplumber way. Tried both SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI=0 and PROTON PREFER SDL INPUT=1 launch options separately. I made a post here and asked and it was of no help.

NOTHING WORKED AND IT WAS MAKING ME MAD AS HELL.

So I decided to check in System Settings > Sound > Dual Sense. I set it to Pro Audo, and tested all 4 channels. I noticed the vibrations were on channel 3 and 4 because when I test those channels the controller vibrated.

I tested the controller on the website https://ds.daidr.me/ too. In the website, everything worked perfectly, adaptive triggers and the vibrations.

So with the help of tool qpwgraph, I checked where the games were sending Dual Sense's signals to, since haptic feedback works on audio signals.

https://preview.redd.it/y327md7jrjig1.png?width=1609&format=png&auto=webp&s=68ff68ddf5422d48b1947494b79bac5dceb59c06

I noticed in the tool that the game was sending signs to AUX 0 and 1. But when I tested in System Setting > Sound > Dual Sense, the vibrations happed on 3rd and 4th channel, which are AUX2 and AUX3 in the picture.

So, with qpwgraph too, I manually connected the game output to AUX2 and AUX3.

https://preview.redd.it/76e2uy8zrjig1.png?width=1746&format=png&auto=webp&s=8c757e950528915892f1245fa9fcd6698e15ab01

And just like I suspected, haptic feedback "magically" started working.

So the issue was the games sending signals to the wrong place.

But why doesn't it happen in Windows? Some quick googling told me that Windows treats the Dual Sense as an Analog 4.0 device.

So I decided to make Dual Sense an Analog 4.0 device and check.

For that I ran these in the terminal,

> mkdir -p ~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/

> nano ~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/51-dualsense-haptics.conf

Copy Paste below

> monitor.alsa.rules = [

{

matches = [

{

device.name = "~alsa_card.usb-Sony_Interactive_Entertainment_DualSense.*"

}

]

actions = {

update-props = {

api.alsa.use-ucm = false,

device.profile-set = "analog-surround-40.conf"

}

}

}

]

https://pastebin.com/2JPuCcWU of the above

CTRL + O to save and CTRL + X to exit

> systemctl --user restart pipewire wireplumber

And this command to restart audio services.

(Full Discalimer, I am a Linux noob and can't write a single code. Gemini wrote these config files for me.)

Then I went to System Settings > Sound > Dual Sense and set it as Analog 4.0 device.

https://preview.redd.it/8r4c7xh4tjig1.png?width=558&format=png&auto=webp&s=1590350281f18c46147f55906135cad4fccf00c6

Decided to give Days Gone a try again,

https://preview.redd.it/8zgcn6g7tjig1.png?width=869&format=png&auto=webp&s=9de3b9fc8c02bc6ac9bf876ba39437533d0970a1

And here it is, game automatically started sending signals to channel 3 and 4 and haptic feedback started working.

Tried it in Cyberpunk too.

https://preview.redd.it/2msxqwnctjig1.png?width=742&format=png&auto=webp&s=8e51a84be55f8d9b9a24efdc02e6490a5057a99d

Worked perfect there too.

So if anybody else was also going mad like me trying to make Dual Sense haptic feedback work in Linux, you can try this method.

No ea games are functional battlefront and fallen order are giving me the same error, where as the sims is only giving the error "Failed to launch game an error on our end caused the launch to fail. try again a little later." The rest of my steam library is working fine.

What I've tried

• waiting a few days
• various proton versions (experimental, GE-Proton, 10.0-4, 9.0-4)
• turning on/off steam and ea overlays
• resetting ea cache
• the launch options on proton db
• verifying integrity files
• reinstalling
• manually using a new version of the EA launcher as said in this guide https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1qkry8y/star_wars_jedi_fallen_order_ea_app_fix_and/

Primero, mencionar que mi equipo cuenta con:

• Intel i5‑13400F
• 32 GB de RAM
• Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB Taichi OC
• CachyOS actualizado con kernel Bore optimizado

Antes de pensar en buscar soluciones en foros, me aseguré de realizar todas las pruebas posibles. Actualmente, además de usar CachyOS, probé varios juegos. Configuré previamente Gamemode, probé activando y desactivando Wayland, intenté jugar de manera limpia (sin parámetros adicionales) y también con comandos específicos. Incluso deshabilité el FSR4 Upgrade, pero el resultado fue siempre el mismo.

Me explico: siempre consideré que jugar a más de 60 FPS es aceptable, especialmente en este tipo de juegos. Mi gráfica puede rendir mucho más, pero suelo fijar los FPS en 90. En este caso, el juego suele alcanzarlos, aunque presenta caídas a 50–60 FPS antes de estabilizarse en 90. El problema es que, una vez estabilizado en 90, la sensación es como si fueran menos de 60: el movimiento se percibe extraño, pesado, difícil de describir. Además, la línea de frametime no es plana, muestra bastantes inconsistencias.

En Windows este problema no existe, por lo que siento que estoy pasando por alto algún detalle en Linux.

¿Alguna recomendación? ¡Gracias!
