Sony to officially support the PS5 DualSense on Linux with a new driver

Would be interesting to know, if these controllers do work with the Steamlink.

Actually I think of buying another controller and the Dual Sense look really nice. But will they work with my Steamlink?

Our top favourite Linux games released in 2020

Thanks to devs releasing on Linux and to Valve for proton, I enjoyed these games this year:


  • * X4 Foundations native [External Link]
    What a great and immersive space simulation! Split Vendatta is also a great DLC and the devs are very Linux friendly!


  • * The Witcher 3 and Hearts of Stone
    I finished TW3 and Hearts of Stone. I liked Hearts of Stone more then the main Story. It was always kinda immersion killing to me. You have to find and save Ciri, whom is like a daughter to you, but hey, you play gwint and of course have time for some farmers problems. Time doesn't matter. And then again, Ciri is in great danger and needs help fast? Hmm, that was kinda strage to me.


  • * Deep Rock Galactic proton [External Link]
    This is a hell lot of fun to play with friends! ROCK AND STONE!


  • * CS:GO
    Yeah, well known I think. I always get back to it from time to time to play with a mate or just alone in competitive.
    The actual operation is a bit lame I think.




So my favorite one this year is surely X4 Foundations native [External Link].

And I am really looking forward to in 2021: Valheim [External Link] The devs are cool, like nordic metal like I do and they support Linux :-)
And of course the game seems to get really good.

Hopefully I can soon get a new graphics card for a reasonable price. Then I may give Cyberpunk a try. But I will wait with that a few month anyways, they should make it ready and polish it first.

Quoting: Wernergreat news, but i ordered it on stadia, since finally it started in my country, i wanted to test it anyway and because they make a nice gift, if you buy Cyberpunk, you will get the Stadia Premiere Edition for free, so the game is free :). If the game is really that good then i will buy it later when all bugs are fixed and all dlc are released on Gog :).
Hmm why not buying on Steam? I mean, who made it possible to play it on Linux?
They tell you: They're getting a free controller + chromecast ultra with the purchase.

I too have pre ordered this game on Stadia as I'd honestly rather play an actual Linux build. Plus it's not like we knew it would work in proton DAY 0. I applaud Valve's effort but seeing as I haven't been able to grab a 6900XT yet it would be awhile before I could play this game the way I wanted to locally, therefore: Stadia.
I did not talk about stadia.
I am referring to:

Direct3D 12 to Vulkan translation layer VKD3D-Proton version 2.1 is out

Quoting: fagnerlnIt's nice those improvements, but in my PC any Proton that uses pressure vessel (like 5.13) don't work in any game. It's sad.
How did you install Steam? Ubuntu repository package?

(The Ubuntu repository package is missing dependency on bubblewrap that Pressure Vessel needs.)
Hmm, I installed steam through sudo apt-get install steam on Kubuntu 20.04 and everything works fine. But installing this way means, I am on the repository package version, doesn't it?

AFAIK you get problems with the flatpak version.
