Probably a super stupid question but I had a PS4 controller and another wired controller with xbox layout that I wanted to connect to my laptop to play games, however, for some reason, launching through lutris never worked. I thought it was probably an issue with my laptop, tried, never got it to work. However, I tried it through directly launching the games from the file folders, like the.exe, and it perfectly detected the controller, and I was able to play games normally.
Also, my controller did work with evtest as well as detected as js0 in the /dev/ input section, so its definitely not the system's fault, it even showed up as Xbox gamepad on wine control.

Surely, there must be a way to get controllers detected for games launched via lutris? Both ways used the same wineprefix, I think, need some help, thank you in advance.

Hello All,

I am putting an end to my Linux (Fedora KDE) experiment, after a bit more than a month of giving it a really fair shake ! I even bought a NVME drive just for that.

I really really liked it, it is so full of usefull little details and cool stuff, feels light and fast. I also had fun going back to a PC that makes you work for it (strange ? I grew up with DOS and no Internet to backup, haha)

I have encountered issues, and overcome them for the productivity side of my PC usage, but I really feel like I am leaving a lot of performances on the table by using an nVidia GPU (4070ti+Ryzen 5 7600X).

Now, I am back to Windows 11, which is annoying but just works full power, no questions asked... And I am waiting for the news that Nvidia fixes its drivers, if ever.

So.... back to title : are all the super positive comments, Youtube videos, etc. just made by people using AMD GPUs ? I am really feeling that might be the case :(

Hello everyone, what are your experiences with Pop_OS?

I want to switch my tower PC from Win11 to Linux (7800x3D, 7800XT Hellhound). I've chosen Pop_OS for this and would like to know how satisfied those who use it are with it.

I've been running Mint on my notebook for years, but Mint isn't supposed to be ideal for gaming.

The KDE team have released the latest release for the Plasma desktop, with version 6.6.1 bringing quite a lot of bug fixing.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

I've decided to start testing/playing/reviewing game mods in Linux. It's been over 10 years and hundreds of games... I'm starting to run out of games to test in Linux.
I know there are already mod videos for games like:

Half-Life 2
Unreal Tournament 3
Doom 3
Portal
STALKER

So I'm going to start with those huge classic AAA games and test them in Linux.
Sometimes the mods are only developed for Windows versions of the game and only tested in Windows. It will be interesting to see if...

Hi, I’m Zortos, the developer of OpenNOW.

I built OpenNOW, a fully reverse-engineered open-source GeForce NOW client. It is not a wrapper around the official client.
it directly implements the required protocols and streaming logic.

GitHub: https://github.com/OpenCloudGaming/OpenNOW

The project originally started in Rust with Tauri, but due to compatibility and long-term maintainability concerns, I migrated it to Electron (Node.js + React + TypeScript) to ensure better cross-platform support and easier development.

OpenNOW supports most of the features of the official client, with more improvements planned. It includes WebRTC streaming (H.264 / H265 / AV1), controller and input support, bitrate controls, stats overlay, region selection, session handling, and more.

There is no telemetry, no tracking, and no background data collection. The goal is to provide a transparent, privacy-respecting alternative to the official GeForce NOW client, especially for Linux users.

My goal is to make OpenNOW run well on lightweight, low-power devices with integrated chips such as single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi so cloud gaming is accessible even on minimal hardware.

Feedback and contributors are welcome.

The Sims Complete Collection running on an Arch-based distro using Wine 11.1 with dgVoodoo for compatibility, managed through Lutris.
4:3 at 1280x960 on a 1080p display.
Running inside Enlightenment E16 for the early 2000s feel.
No major tweaks beyond that.

forgot to double check and put proton in the title.

im not smart enough to know where to start troubleshooting this and could use some help D=

This is regarding The Witcher 3 on steam.

As the title mentions, if I limit the FPS by using MangoHUD (via Launch options) while Frame Gen is enabled in game, I face several artifacts (as evident in the video)

Launch options: MANGOHUD_CONFIG="fps_limit=72","fps_limit_method=early","VSync=3" mangohud PROTON_LOG=1 %command% --launcher-skip

Proton version: proton-cachyos-10.0-20260207

I have not faced this on other steam games.

Can be "fixed" by

1. Disabling FG or
2. Not setting a Frame limit or
3. Setting the frame limit close to the avg fps

On Windows I play the game with max fps set to 75 (Via NVIDIA control panel) with FG enabled and have not faced any issues.

PS: I do run several mods (including texture packs and visual mods)

I wanted to know if there is a definitive fix to this, until then, I play it with fps capped at 90 (or boot into windows).

For the past couple of days I've been trying play CoD Black Ops 1 through the Plutonium launcher and I keep experiencing issues related to audio, like missing sfx in the form of gunshots, footsteps, and even menu ques.

I've tried adding as a non-steam game. Going through Lutris. Downloading Xact and other recommended windows components. Trying different Protons versions. But nothing I do works.

What's more odd though, is the base game, without plutonium, doesn't have any of these issues. And when I booted into windows (I dual boot), It work there no problem. So I'm 90% sure it's some sort of conflict between OS and the launcher itself, but i don't know what else to try.

Does anyone gave any advice? or should I just cut my loses?

FYI: I use a 5950X, Rx 6800, and 32gs of ram. If that helps.
