I recently moved from Windows to Bazzite on my Victus Gaming Laptop. Now all my files across Total War WH1, WH2 and WH3 are gone. I still have my Steam achievements from the respective games. Is there any way to restore my save files ?

My Windows-Styled Game, Running Natively on Linux, Now Has a Demo!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Feb 2026 - 8:58am

The game is Malware Tycoon on Steam if anyone's interested. It's been an interesting journey to say the least, and the best part are those surprise Windows-exclusive bugs I had to fix... needless to say, I got VMM/QEMU all set up so those never slip by again. Happy to say the game is (hopefully) bug-free no matter what OS you run it on!

Would love to hear thoughts!

Running GOG installer (mojosetup-based) on unsupported platform

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Feb 2026 - 6:55am

So you are running games (probably via box64, box86, FEX, etc) on platforms that GOG does not support? Struggling to figure out how to extract the contents hiding behind those installers? Well from what I know GOG has been using a modified version of icculus/mojosetup software, based on that knowledge we could come up with workarounds. I documented all techniques at https://gist.github.com/runlevel5/64e1dad006a36bb0cc3881749a37c3c9

Thinking of Moving Away

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Feb 2026 - 5:03am

Hey everyone,

I’ve been using Linux Mint for the past 5 months, and honestly, it’s my first real experience with Linux. I really enjoyed exploring it and learning new things, but lately, I’ve been facing some issues that are making me consider switching.

Sometimes the system freezes or becomes slightly unresponsive, and gaming has been a real challenge. Over the past couple of months, I’ve tried playing games through the Fuags Launcher,and steem but most of them lag heavily, and some, like Days Gone, are literally unplayable. Even some classic games I love, like Max Payne and general zero hour, had performance issues.

My laptop specs:

  • RTX 3050 Ti
  • Intel i7 11th Gen

I’m thinking about what the next distro should be. Any advice or personal experiences would be really appreciated!

Steam support for non-steam games is surprisingly painless

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Feb 2026 - 2:22am

I bought 2077 via GOG and recently wanted to do a quick game. All I need to get going was plug in the path to the exe, set the working dir "Start In" to the base path, go to Compatibility and set the runner to be "Proton 10.0-4"

Was really surprised that is about it. I was really expecting it to either just not work or to have to fight uphill.

`protontricks` doesn't work due to a bug that I don't think will ever get fixed but with `protontricks -l` you can at least get the custom "appid' so you can find the wineprefix if you later want to add some dll injection powered mods.

PS4 Controller incorrectly identified as DualSense (0x0ce6) in Game Mode - Nobara OS

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 25 Feb 2026 - 1:56am

Hi everyone,

I'm having a persistent issue with my original DualShock 4 controller on Nobara OS (Steam Deck UI/Gamescope session).

The Problem: When I boot into Game Mode, the system identifies my DS4 as a DualSense Wireless Controller with the Hardware ID (0x054c, 0x0ce6). Because of this incorrect identification, the joystick mapping is completely broken (axes are jumping/shifting), making it unusable.

Key Details:

  • Hardware: Original Sony DS4.
  • Behavior: In Desktop Mode, it works perfectly and is identified correctly. The issue only exists in Game Mode/Gamescope.
  • Drivers: lsmod shows both hid_sony and hid_playstation are loaded.
  • What I've tried so far:
    1. Blacklisting hid_sony or hid_playstation (no luck).
    2. Using SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_IGNORE_DEVICES=0x054c/0x0ce6 in environment variables (this made the controller disappear entirely).
    3. Hard resetting the controller via the pinhole.
    4. "Setup Device Inputs" in Steam UI (the inputs are too erratic to calibrate).

It seems like the Gamescope session or Steam Input is forcing the DualSense profile onto the DS4 because of the 0x0ce6 ID. Has anyone encountered this "ID spoofing" bug on Nobara? How can I force Game Mode to treat it as a standard DS4 without breaking my actual DualSense (PS5) controller support?

Thanks for the help!
