Hey, been using Linux for awhile now, and it runs every game I play and has no issues, with the exception of Battlefield 1. I wanted to get back into my old hobby of modding Bethesda games specifically Fallout 4, New Vegas, and Skyrim. I looked it up and it lead me down a rabbit hole. I tried using proton/wine to run Mod Organizer 2 however it was super lagy and crashed and didn't support install with mod manager links on nexus. I heard of this thing called steam tinker launcher trued that couldn't figure it out. I tried the linux native mod manager limo wasn't great.

If anyone has any experience modding Bethesda games on linux please let me know. I am seriously considering moving back to windows 10 or dual booting so that I can mod Fallout and Skyrim without spending my whole day on it.

I'm able to run the game on Ubuntu 26.04 smoothly, the only issue that have encountered is when attempting to save highlights. The highlight processes until 100% then nothing happened, no file gets saved. I've attempted to change the save path to various locations and set permissions, still no go. Has anyone successfully saved highlights? What am I missing?

My Steam Launch Options (RTX5090):

SDL\_VIDEO\_FULLSCREEN\_HEAD=0

SteamDeck=1

ENABLE\_GAMESCOPE\_WSI=0

gamemoderun

PROTON\_ENABLE\_MEDIACONV=1 PROTON\_ENABLE\_NVAPI=1

PROTON\_HIDE\_NVIDIA\_GPU=0 PROTON\_ENABLE\_NGX\_UPDATER=1

VKD3D\_CONFIG=dxr

gamescope -W 3840 -H 2160 -w 1920 -h 1080 -f

\--force-grab-cursor

\-- %command%

Any insight would help, thanks for the assist!

Stable Steam Client 08.05.2026 released for Linux Desktop and Steam Deck https://playingtux.com/articles/stable-steam-client-08052026-released-linux-desktop-and-steam-deck?lang=en #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming

Hi people! I'm on Fedora 44 KDE and I installed Phasmophobia from Steam, but the FPS is way lower than on Windows on the same machine. Is there a way to fix this?

For context, I already have the Nvidia drivers installed and Minecraft runs at 144+ fps on fancy settings, so I don't think it's a driver issue.

Ive had mulitple issues with using the steam controller

1. Unable to update firmware on the puck and controller from the steam client (i had to update it using my steam deck)
2. Rebinding the R4,R5,L4,L5 within the steam ui seems to not do anything only after closing and opening steam again did it show my rebinds
3. KDE always prompts me to give the remote control permission whenever i restart steam otherwise the mouse doesnt work.

Not sure where to file these bug reports it feels like valve only tested their controller with SteamOS and not any other distro.

As stated in the post, minecraft 26.1.2 is very unstable. It randomly crashes and then refuses to start again. This typically happens after around 5-10 minutes of playing, and happens independently of any specific action.

This issue does not happen on my other computer running the same exact kernel and mods (just for an older version of the game. Though the instability has been present on my current pc even on that older version).

Modlist for the game is given in the original post (basically just fabric loader essentials + shaders + renderscale). Using kernel 7.0.3 with latest amdgpu drivers on arch. Minecraft downloaded through AUR with yay, using official launcher.

Any help is appreciated!

I am currently running Bazzite OS on my new second m.2 SSD, set the bios to have it boot up into that instead of Windows 11 on my other m.2 ssd. Everything is fine and dandy until I decide to shut down the pc. Regardless if I use the regular shut down method via the gui or use a command line. I will get logged out, both monitors will stop receiving singles. However, the PC itself will stay on. (Fans will still spin, the lights are on, etc). I can manually shut it down via holding down the power button. I have tried different bashes in the terminal, in some cases it will shut down perfectly. And I’m like yay it worked! I started it back up, play some games, go shut it down and it’s back to square one.

Note: I am running an Nvidia gpu and a AMD Ryzen cpu. I do have secure boot disabled when I was trying out dual booting. As well as Power Down Enable changing from Auto to Enabled. Wake Up Event By changing from BIOS to OS. ErP is enabled

A video explains an upcoming certificate deadline.

Coming in June, you may have update problems unless you update your BIOS.

Problem is, if the vendor has cut off your BIOS update, you are having problems when the MS certificate expires.

I'm on Fedora 44 KDE, but this issue was there when I was using Fedora 33 KDE, I turned on the application permission for Steam in the system setting already.

I’m not sure why, but “PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 %command%” doesn’t seem to be working with Proton GE nor Proton EM. Somehow, the command still works on Marvel Rivals, with FSR4 being available as an upscaler option. I’m using a 9060XT on the latest version of Nobara. Anyone know of a solution to this?

Initially, I want to make my goals clear:

I’m trying to build a “Steam Machine” setup that will run 100% of the time on a TV that I still plan to buy: a TCL 75C7K (4K 144Hz VRR HDR).

Hardware:

- Intel i5-14600K

- B660M Aorus PRO DDR4

- 64GB DDR4 3200MHz

- RX 570 4GB (I already bought a 9070 XT and I’m currently waiting for delivery)

- 1TB Kingston Renegade Gen4 NVMe

A couple of observations before people focus on the wrong thing:

- I’m fully aware of the RX 570 VRAM limitations. I only used it to get a feeling for how Game Mode + Gamescope currently behave during gameplay. I obviously monitored VRAM usage.

- I also know the limitations of HDMI 2.0, and I’m aware of AMD’s future HDMI 2.1 support implementation on Linux.

About a month ago, I tested Bazzite (handheld mode) on this hardware using my 60Hz Dell UltraSharp monitor.

I had basically the exact same experience as this user:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux\_gaming/s/hZ4uYIM1rh

That “input lag” feeling.

It happens both in desktop mode and in Game Mode. Even with KDE tearing enabled (which apparently is already enabled by default), I never actually see screen tearing. It almost feels like there’s some kind of constant buffering layer happening all the time.

This does NOT happen on Windows 11.

It becomes much more noticeable in competitive games like Rocket League (Steam version). Even with:

- uncapped FPS

- VSync disabled in-game

- VSync disabled in Gamescope/panel

- FPS around 180

…the input lag on Linux still feels noticeably higher. Even when Linux is generating MORE frames.

I understand that a 60Hz monitor limits perceived smoothness compared to a high refresh display, but my intention here is specifically NOT to mask responsiveness issues behind higher refresh rates.

On the exact same monitor, Windows 11 has lower input lag, even at lower FPS.

I’m not saying Linux is unplayable — far from it — but it definitely does not feel as responsive as Windows in my case.

So I’d like to know what paths I can still explore to solve this problem.

I already tried most of the things suggested in the thread above.

I tested:

- Proton GE (multiple versions)

- Proton-CachyOS

- Proton Experimental

- Proton 11 Beta

- Proton 10

- etc.

I also tested several launch variables such as:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1

ENABLE_MESA_ANTI_LAG=1

ENABLE_LAYER_MESA_ANTI_LAG=1

PROTON_DXVK_LOWLATENCY=1

DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 (120/160/180)

…and many others, both individually and combined.

So far, still nowhere near parity with Windows 11.

I also tested multiple controllers:

- Flydigi Direwolf 2 via dongle

- Flydigi Direwolf 2 wired

- DualShock 4 wired

- DualSense wired

- keyboard + mouse as well

Handheld/Game Mode is essential for me because I want a true console-like living room experience.

What I find curious is that I NEVER see tearing. Ever.

It always feels like there’s some cursed buffering layer permanently present.
