Linux Gaming

This problem started to happen recently (maybe 2 ~ 3 months ago).

I have a wired Xbox 360 controller [1.1] that has some drift in both analog sticks [1]. I would like to calibrate the deadzones [2] to fix this issue. How do you recommend doing this? I didn’t see any controller calibration option in the KDE Plasma controller settings [1].

Hi Friends,

Bug bounties are cash rewards for finding bugs. Has anyone done a crowdsourced bounty for adding a feature to linux? E.g., driver support for a certain peripheral. If enough people want it, and drop $10 each, seems like it would quickly become worth it for someone to code a fix.

Been trying to setup Nord VPN on my steam deck

If you’re trying to play Death Stranding 2 and are getting this error. This is due to something with the DX12 -> Vulkan DirectX Raytracing translation (DXR) layer.

Hi I’m trying to install #Batocera to the Laptop SSD (Dell Latitude 5491). I disabled secure boot and set it to ACHI (or something like that). I can live boot from the USB drive but the installer only works with Ethernet (5GHz internet connection) and gets stuck at 0%. Since when does a linux distro need a network connection to install itself on the system?

As the title says, for a brief time a while ago I modded valheim and found r2modman and felt it was one of if not the best experience I’ve had modding games, it was especially sweet because I could mod the game with my friend who’s on windows and the process was the exact same so helping them was no issue.

I like the idea of having split controller. So I want to use them with my main rig. And out of the box the controller part works well. It finally connected with the android mode (legion right + a). But it also connects every 7th try, though this might just be my shitty bluetooth card or I need a bios update.

I’ve been a long time Linux user on laptops, but this will be my first time putting hardware together and running a dedicated gaming rig on Arch. I’m aiming for a high end 1440p ultra wide gaming experience and some light Davinci Resolve work. Want to make sure I haven’t made any “first timer” mistakes with compatibility or bottlenecks.

Today I spent a while to fix a problem with my DualSense controller that really annoyed me for a while now, but I never found the time to fix. (disclaimer: summary was created by AI)

Since lutris has gone slop mode I want to find an alternative, but I am yet to find a client that can automatically download, setup and update my itch.io library (the official itch.io software fucking sucks)

So with the upcoming Steam Frame release, I’m thinking about the possibilities. Steam Frame will have a full desktop environment, like the Steam Deck. Any guesses on how hard or easy it might be to throw dolphin on it, and use the controllers as emulated Wii Controllers?

Does anyone know how to run the elden ring enemy and item randomizer mod on Linux? I’ve been searching for guides but struggling to find any that where useful or up to date. Have seen people mention they have made it work though.

As noted in the title, I am trying to figure out the safest way to update the firmware on my recently purchased Keychron K1 QMK V6 keyboard. I was finally able to get the web based Keychron Launcher app to talk to my KB after using chmod to give the correct HIDRAW device read-write access but it looks like the new firmware needs another utility to be installed and only the Windoze directions are provided.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a cheap, old laptop to put Linux on and mess around with. I mainly want to see if I can find replacement software for some of the stuff I do on my Windows desktop, but maybe also some light gaming with Steam and Heroic launcher. I’d like to get some opinions on what brands/models I should be looking for on Craiglist/Ebay/etc.? Thanks!

I have a problem when installing games from other places than steam. First time I had it was when I wanted to play diablo 4 through the battlenet launcher (I do not own it on steam) so I installed battlenet through steam and then launched the launcher. Installed, played the game, no problem but the next time I booted the battlenet launcher Diablo 4 was gone. I did try it again and reinstalled and for some reason it just worked forever (untill I uninstalled it myself).

Every night, I put my computer to sleep. But should I be shutting it down every now and then? For example, maybe once a week or once a month?

Hey guys!

I hate when you spend weeks getting games to work and then an update happens and everything is now broken. My copies of Simcity REFUSE to launch in any way and now i can’t reinstall them either. All my other games i had to change the runner and redirect the .exe on each game. I may just install 0.5.19 and see if i can get them to start working again.

I am kind of new to Linux. I started with nobara and got comfortable with the overall feel of Linux. Then a few weeks ago I switched over to cashyos, to try something new.

I made the mistake of believing some dumb guide online that recommended the Razer BlackShark v2 Pro for Linux. Literally the volume control is broken out of the box lol.

Playing The Finals on my Fedora KDE install, the game runs wonderfully under proton, however a recent update added verification to the EAC config file so the workaround I found to make Steam Background Recording work now causes the game to close. Is there another workaround for this?

Im thinking of trying either youtube twitch, but im unsure where to actually start or if gaming is something i want to actually do?

Hey all, I recently got a new AMD GPU to replace my nvidia 3070ti - what’s the support like these days for egpus on Linux? I’d like to be able to still use the 3070ti with my laptop (it has thunderbolt ports).

My internet searches lead me to believe it’s possible to get the Minecraft “bedrock edition” running on Linux. Any pros here have any tips/tricks before I tell my kids that I’m a genius and it can be done? They want to play with their friends who game on consoles/mobile devices. Also, why does minecraft seem so odd with editions and launchers?!

Hey all, I’ve got an under powered laptop that I would like to stream Steam games to from my main PC (main PC has an AMD 9070XT, laptop has something like an Nvidia 1660). What I need to do is still be able to use my main PC while streaming to the laptop at the same time.
