I saw Brodie Robertson post a link to this article testing input latency on Linux. Lots of great charts and breakdown.

Proof It's on the Vision Pro and is not fake at the end when I show the headset in the mirror.

I bought a X3 but it doesnt have any drivers for linux but i wanna know the battery percentage. With a little help of gemini i found out how to get it to work.

1. (Install the Software with wine)

2. Open this file

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-webhid.rules

1. paste this in the file

KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE="0666", TAG+="uaccess"

1. Reload the rules / or reboot

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

worked for me

should work for the other drivers too (not tested)

Edit!!:

apparently this is not that safe since it allows any userspace app to access any hid / most usb devices and their data.

So i would use the steps above to check if it actually helps.

If so do this to only give access to the device you need.

1. Open Terminal and type lsusb

Will look something like this:

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 342d:e485 Hangsheng R75Pro
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1d57:fa60 Xenta 2.4G Wireless Device
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub ...

1. Locate your device and write down the xxxx:yyyy characters:

for me and the x 3 its Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1d57:fa60 Xenta 2.4G Wireless Device

xxxx:yyyy = 1d57:fa60

1. Open the file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-webhid.rules again

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-webhid.rules

1. Delete the old Paste this in and replace the xxxx and the yyyy with the characters you wrote down

KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="xxxx", ATTRS{idProduct}=="yyyy", MODE="0666", TAG+="uaccess"

1. Reload the rules / or reboot

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

World of Warships Is great on norbara once you have the best settings installed to work with it on steam first using Proton plus click on your steam profile click on tools, then click on the down arrow with Proton-CachyOS (x86_64_v3) then download cachyos-10.0-20260425-sir. The click on game in compatibility tool select the download you just downloaded close and open steam let it update the settings go to your game library select the download you downloaded close and start playing your game. Its a great improvement.

Would it actually be possible to play any of these games on Linux, since they require the XBOX app? I don't really know much about how XBOX/Windows Store games work on Windows since I don't use Windows or game too much

Hello, i switched to CachyOs like a Month now. Its been an amazing experience so far, all the games i used to play on Windows run even better than before, except for New Vegas.

Even after installing manually the most basic mods like NVSE i still get massive fps drops in most of the combats at the lowest graphics.

Could it be that im missing something important?

I moved into a new house about 3 years ago and my Index has been in a box ever since.

A few years ago, SteamVR was terrible on Linux, has anything changed? Are there any improvements with the Frame on the horizon?

I'd like to get a few more miles out of my Index before the Frame is released.

TF2's lack of any meaningful content is getting so mind numbing to the point where I've just stopped playing until either the MvM Update or next Scream Fortress, whichever comes 1st. However, that's left a massive, currently unfillable hole in my team-based multiplayer game library I desperately need: The ability to join & leave games in progress all willy nilly with 0 consequence while still actually BEING a proper game instead of just a sandbox (So Minecraft/Terraria don't count). As much as I love Dota & used to love League, being forced to play out absolutely every 30+ minute match in a game where snowballing is just so fucking fundamental quickly gets unbearable, even when I'M the one doing the snowballing these days. But WTF big team multiplayer games even EXIST that both have those come-&-go lobbies AND still get updates at least more noteworthy than TF2's?

Ive noticed when I have steam open sometimes my fans just ramp up to top speed, and when I check the system monitor it shows that whatever fossilize_replay is within steam, it starts using like 25% of my cpu power when it usually idles at about 4% total while Im just browsing.

Is there a reason it just randomly kicks up then goes away after I close it or wait 15 minutes? Why didnt it do that for the first two weeks, now does it a couple times a day? Can I stop it???

Im just confused, as it never happened on windows for me

How can I make it work with my Flydigi Dunefox gamepad? I use both Steam and GOG versions and tried to use dinput.

I typically play Madden every year on Xbox but I plan on fully transitioning to PC/linux (Mint/Bazzite distros) only gaming and I know EA titles can be annoying sometimes on linux I was wondering if anyone has attempted or has been playing CFB 27 on any linux distros or even M26

I'm brand new to Linux Mint and started with a solo boot 22.3 distro on a 10ish year old laptop with a GTX 960M.

I followed the general instructions to get Steam working for Tabletop Simulator, and it was flawless. However, getting a new game Mecccha Chameleon to run doesnt seem to work at all. I've tried multiple different Proton options. Some will eventually say Launching, or Running, but no game will seemingly open.

The Vulkan Shaders sometimes attempt to load and sometimes not.

I tried the GE-Proton 11-1, Proton Experimental, Hotfix and a variety of others. Similar or sameish results.

What else can I try?

Trying to run the Witcher 3 Mod Manager so that I can install my usual mods and get back into my save file. But I just can't figure this bottles thing out.

I have it pointed at the executable, it runs for a second then closes, I inspect with Eagle and it says it needs Visual C++ (VC++ 2015-22).

So I go into dependencies and download it. I run it again and it just says the same thing.

At this point I see a button on the bottom that says "add and launch program" so I click that, which makes a new executable (or a new bottle that points to the same executable?) and it also doesn't work, stating again the need for Visual C++.

I don't know what I'm doing.

Hi, i just wanted to ask a question, hope its actually interesting to yall!

I'm a very "nutella" gamer, as we say here in brazil, i love my windows since Vista... But we all know it sucks these days, and when i got my own pc, i knew i wouldn't stick on it too long! BUT after trying several gaming distros, normal distros, and others, i have found several weird stuff and things that just doesnt work? And my ugreen bluetooth adapter just doesnt work apparently, the Model number is Cm748-45134, if you could help me with that too would be awesome...

anyways, back to the main thing, I have a rx 580sp, which is awesome on linux, but it just feels weird not being able to change my settings, like freesync and hdr, and Rgb to YCBR (if i feel quirky at night) and i also need to undervolt my gpu as we know the rx580sp is just supervolted like idk Static shock? i tried installing some apps but i think i need help on this one too.

I also want a distro that works with my Xeon cpu, the E5-2670 v3, i think all of them work with it but i heard some distros are weird with it? Not a realiable source though lol.

I know on linux i cant play my deltaforce or valorant, but its not like i need these two games, My must haves are currently, Deadlock, Palworld, ZZZ, Genshin (i know the gachas have anticheat but i heard some positives about them on linux.) and Hytale/Minecraft

so what distro should i choose? Thanks in advance!

I am using nobara linux and playing the game through steam but I don't want to keep repeating the downloading process

Hey everyone,

I've noticed that in both Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring, whenever that small loading icon appears in the corner of the screen, the game stutters for a moment. My system is fully updated and I don't have any mods installed.

Anyone else experiencing this?
