Linux Apps Without Distro Lock-In? Explore This Lesser Known Snap and Flatpak Alternative

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27 Dec 2025 - 7:24pm

PkgForge covers just about all the problems we've identified with universal, portable packaging for Linux. It's not a new packaging format in and of itself, nor is it trying to replace Applmages. Instead, it's an ecosystem that publishes portable packages and static binaries in curated repositories, paired with a package manager designed to install and manage

them.

Any thoughts?

Any Switch 2 Pro Controller support on linux yet?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27 Dec 2025 - 7:18pm

I've really been enjoying my Switch 2 Pro Controller and wanted to use it on steam but it doesn't seem to have good support right now.

Apperently Steam added support for it in the steam beta via a USB connection but I haven't been able to get it working other than using ProCon2.

Has anyone else got it working? Or is it just a windows feature right now.

I'm on Debian 13 if thats useful

GPU only using about 35%

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 27 Dec 2025 - 7:00pm

So I recently upgraded to Nvidia GeForce RXT 2080 but when it only pulled about 15 fps in intense spots in Helldivers 2 (with reasonable settings) I found out it only used about 35% of GPU even in those spots.

How can I fix this?

Specs:

Distro: Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon

CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2689

GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 (with nvidia-driver-580-open downloaded)

Thank you in advance.

Answer:

So the problem is CPU bottleneck which is very understandable with my ancient Xeon. (I know I don't two of them doesn't do anything. I got it from my dad so I didn't bother with the extra one.)
