Hey y'all. I’ve been working on linux support for the hyperflux V2 receiver, and it’s close to release (planned for 8 November, I hope)

What it does through the receiver:

-battery level and charging for those mouse and keyboard in the desktop’s battery widget
-lighting, effects in openrazer and polychromatic
-new plugin in openrgb

typing and pointing already work on linux so this is about everything else

It works on my basilisk v3 pro 35k and deathstalker v2 pro tkl, razer lists more devices for the receiver so I’d like to confirm them before a big release. If you have a hyperflux v2 and one of these:

-naga v2 pro or naga v3 pro

-Basilisk v3 Pro (35k phantom green too)

-cobra pro

-blackwidow v3 pro or a blackwidow v4 mini or perhaps low tkl or tkl hyperspeed

-deathStalker v2 pro

-also contact if you got basilisk v4 pro or hyperspeed

and you use arch, ubuntu 26.10, debian 14, fedora 44 or opensuse yumble, I’d love your help. it’s approx 15 minutes to install, a reboot, then a 3 minute guided test for me to confirm

comment or dm me your GitHub username and I’ll add you to the repo

owners of a 35K or a deathstalker v2 pro tkl are welcome, since a second setup should help

I’ve personally tested the devices I own. I only used ai to test devices I didn’t have, I wanted to make sure every Razer device works perfectly (ngl, I’m still not sure as there are no real testers to tell me otherwise)

Hey all! I forked Xodus Nexus (the Xbox/Game Pass launcher for Linux) and added a few features, including arm64 support.

• Native arm64 builds of the launcher, backend and runtime, so it runs natively on armadaOS

• Offline play: set your device as the offline PC (like the Xbox app does) and play installed games without internet, using a stored license and your saved Xbox identity  

• Faster no-internet detection: it figures out within seconds that you’re offline instead of hanging  

• Background service + Steam integration: games run through a background service, so launching from Game Mode works better. Closing is cleaner and crashes recover on their own  

• Small UI fixes, like a closing game now showing as “closing” and a clearly labeled force stop

⚠️ Full honesty: this is vibe coded (built with AI help) and so far I’ve only tested it on my own Odin 3 running ArmadaOS. It’s unofficial, not from the upstream devs, so please report problems to my fork, not to them.

🙏 I need testers! Different games, Game Pass vs. owned titles, offline vs. online. Any feedback helps.

To install: in Desktop Mode, open Konsole and run curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/indiesaudi/xodus-nexus/main/scripts/install.sh | bash, then install the backend and runtime from Settings. It will detect your architecture (x86 or arm64) and install the right components for you.

Repo + issues: https://github.com/indiesaudi/xodus-nexus  

I submitted PRs to the upstream devs. It is up to them to accept it or not.

Hi all,

With Epic Games deciding to completely rewrite their AntiCheat and bring their library of games to Linux, I've realized the requirements for it are extremely steep. These requirements are on the same level of change that going from Windows 10 to Windows 11 was. The one thing I want to prevent is the same thing a lot of people were told when moving to Windows 11, "Just do a clean install". While this is an option, it's not a great User Experience in my opinion.

While EAC v2 is not yet ready, I've decided to get ahead of it a bit and start work on a program similar to WhyNotWin11 to help guide users. I have already reached out to Epic Games via their listed contact email on the announcement to try to get ahead of things regarding to how EAC v2 will be doing its own checks.

For everything else, I'm already gathering proof of concept scripts and will need a large subset of data (read: various machine configurations) to test the scripts on. These scripts will make no changes to your machine and never will. If you're interested in running these scripts and providing the debug data they collect to improve the checks, please let me know here.

Hey everyone!

I'm making a game called Retro Empire, where you run a retro video game shop. I recently released a free demo on Steam, and there's a native Linux version too.

The problem is I don't own a Steam Deck, so I have no idea how well it actually runs on one.

If anyone here has a Deck and wants to give it a try, I'd love to know how it performs. Mainly FPS, stuttering, controls, or anything that feels off. If you can, tell me if you ran the native build or Proton.

Heads up: the first launch takes a while because it's compiling shaders, it's not frozen. After that it should load faster.

I'm trying to get everything working properly before release, so any feedback would help a lot.

The demo is on the store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5295010/Retro_Empire/

Thanks!

This mod allows the use of multi-frame gen on 40 series cards but I've not worked out how to get it working on linux.

Any advice would be appreciated it.

I've followed the install steps in the guide, but it's not working.

Im having a very strange problem and I would like to understand it out of sheer curiosity.

Infos of my setup which I believe are relevant:

OS: Bazzite-nvidia-stable

Region: Brazil.

Keyboard layout: ABNT2

Game: Guild Wars 2

Launcher: Lutris.

In portuguese, we have accents, for example "exceção" (áéíóú - âêô).

Guild wars 2 is a MMO with a written chat.

When I use proton experimental, keyboard works flawlessly.

When I use other protons (GE - CachyOS) accent keys either stop working completly, like they dont exist OR they create the accent immediatly before typing the letter (example: ~ ´ ^).

Since I hear these are branches/forks that are made uppon experimental, how the hell did the keyboard messed up and why?

Cross posting this for more visibility. Hopefully it's okay.

To ensure that the Steam Deck, Steam Machine, and SteamOS work seamlessly, Valve has hired and funded several developers focused on optimizing AMD’s graphics stack. Valve has also been one of the biggest contributors to improving AMD’s open-source drivers on Linux in recent years, benefiting Linux gaming in general.

Could this affect Valve’s long-term interest in improving AMD’s Linux drivers, or am I overthinking it?

Hey. The game keeps crashing on startup with this black Error dialog box.

I've tried many things. Different proton versions, command line options: PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND, -vulkan, but none work.

I'm on KDE Plasma. I have an AMD 6750XT.

Any help appreciated

Guys got a jailbroken PS5 (fw 13.60) that boots Arch Linux off a USB stick. I wanna run OmarchyOS on it instead of Arch. Has anyone pulled this off? Curious if it would actually work on the PS5. Any tips?

Hola chavales quisiera que me ayudaran con un pequeño problema y esque tengo un dual boot en mi PC tengo windows y linux distribucion CachyOS entonces lo que digo y esque estoy jugando un juego online en windows y ese juego me va a 150 a 170 ms del servidor y luego lo quise instalar en linux CachyOS y probe el mismo juego y me va a 210 a 230 ms si se pregunta porque mucho y esque el servidor es de europa y yo soy de mexico, pero alo que voy esque como soluciono el problema si es la misma conexion y todo pero diferente sistema operativo :c y si estoy usando cable eternet en mi pc.

Is there any software that do what Adrenalin does? Stuff like upgrade FSR to 4.0 and FG to 3.0, and recording gameplay and saving instant replays for Linux?

I use them a lot on Windows and really miss it on Linux.

ive switched to linux 2 months ago and since i couldnt play roblox because im scared of getting banned for using tools like sober.

I recently bought my first VRR capable monitor, an Acer Nitro QHD OLED 240hz. However I quickly noticed issues with it once I turned VRR on in the monitors settings. I use Smart Video Wallpaper Reborn for live video wallpaper in KDE Plasma and was having issues with everything lagging on my secondary monitor (which is a 144hz monitor) if there was nothing displayed on my primary monitor. Additionally games started hard capping themselves at 40FPS while my monitors OSD would always show 80FPS (even as games would start dipping to the low 30FPS range at times even). I tried gamescope but while the Steam in game frame rate counter would say it was rendering at 240FPS the monitor would still say 80FPS and things still felt laggy. All these problems went away once I simply disabled VRR in my monitors settings. Setting Adaptive Sync to never in KDE Plasma had 0 impact only turning it off entirely solved the problem. Anyone had any experience with similar issues? From what I hear VRR is great for latency and makes screen tearing near non-existent without the need for Vsync so I would like to use it if possible.

My GPU is an AMD 9070XT and in every game I tested I should be capable of easily clearing 100 if not 200+ FPS easily.

Edit: I did some more experimenting and I found that with VRR disabled my FPS is always capped at 80 no matter the game if I turn vsync on, and in certain games like rhythm games I'm getting atrocious ghosting now even with the frame rate capped to 240 which should match my monitor exactly.

i recently installed ghost of tsushima and the game is a pain to play the screen keeps having white flashes frequently. i have played this game some time back on linux with no issues. Does anyone know the fix?

CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS

GPU : GeForce RTX 4050 Max-Q / Mobile

PROTON VERSION : GE-Proton 11-11

GAME LAUNCHER : lutris

Steps taken : tried turning off vsync,bloom,upscaling method,frame generatiom,nvdia latency

It's not a PC port of the PS2 games but I'm taking some assets from there and using remastered maps made by BiGz. It will be open source and native to linux.

so i installed ubuntu beside windows to see if i will use linux instead of windows or not. i did test linux before but not long usage.

is there anything i should expect to behave differently from windows?(beyond the obvious such as not installing drivers except maybe nvidia gpu driver. using terminal,and using package managers/flatpak not random files like exes . im aware appimages exist. i also know its not the default way)

also i know about no drive letters thing.

So I have three different games in Steam as shown above in the screenshot. So why some of them use different version of Steam Linux Runtime and why when I didn't play the game for a while, it always download the same runtime before the game start even though it already did? Is it normal or because of the forced compatibility settings that I've set before? Also, what are the difference between runtime version 1, 2 and 3.

I recently bought a Bloody A70x, mainly for dragclick, but when i connected it on my pc with Linux (CachyOs), it didn't register any single drag click. I thought that it was a hardware issue coming from the mouse, so i tried on a windows laptop, and for my surprise, it registered the clicks properly. I truly don't know what is happening and i would appreciate it if somebody could help me.

Hi, i've been trying to get any help for like 2 months now, but nobody seems to know how to fix it. In every game I play, every minute or so, a still image appears for like a second. It looks like a screenshot from the game and usually shows a menu, or a loading screen. It happens in most of the games I play, with very few exceptions (i think GTA 4 and ps2 emulators are the only ones). I have brand new 5070 and i'm using linux mint with all drivers updated. Does anyone knows what could i possibly do to fix it?

I did everything right with ports being allowed, being on the same network, being on the same version of WiVRn, allowed permissions and it still won't connect my headseat to my PC. It connected the first time using the guide and videos and now it won't connect anymore. I'm on Zorin OS can anybody help me?

OK, I just set up steam link and it works. I am on Kubuntu and I want to use the device for streaming my desktop (i.e. not big picture mode)

I had to add a -pipewire command line option to steam and after I did, I got a pop-up on my desktop asking which screen I would like to stream to steamlink. Apparently I chose the wrong one and now I can't get the pop-up back and I am stuck with my alternate screen (which usually is blank)

If anyone knows what I am talking about, please let me know how to switch the screen you stream to steam link please :)

Thanks
