Update: SDL3/Wayland branch merged to main, GH release bin updated along with AUR packages.

There's no good standalone controller-driven on-screen keyboard on Linux. Steam's keyboard requires Steam running. Other virtual keyboards (Onboard, Florence) need a mouse pointer or are dead projects. I wanted something that takes D-pad and stick input directly, like a console, but can be launched independently of specific games or platforms.

So I built one written in Go with SDL3 and native Wayland layer-shell support. It works as a daemon with a configurable controller combo to toggle show/hide. AUR packages ( gamepad-osk-git , gamepad-osk-bin are updated to v2.

If you're on Wayland with a gamepad, I'd appreciate testers. Bug reports and PRs welcome. Wayland testers still welcome - especially GNOME (falls back to standard window, no layer-shell). Bug reports and PRs welcome.

Features :

• Full QWERTY with shortcuts row (undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, select all, Alt+Tab, media keys)
• D-pad navigation with stick-driven mouse cursor
• Modifier support (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Super, Caps) with visual status indicators
• Button-hold key repeat for backspace, space, enter
• Alt+Tab key for multiple Tab presses
• Auto-reconnect on controller disconnect/timeout
• Configurable button mapping, 60 themes, adjustable opacity
• Sub-1% CPU idle, under 4% during active input

A native Linux mod manager for a varity of games. With support for installing Nexus collections as well many other features to make modding on Linux easier

The author raises some good questions about the licensing of the core utils. Why the MIT license? Why not stick to GNU GPL?

Valve launched the latest upgrade to Proton Experimental, their staging ground for all the latest fixes for Windows games on Linux / SteamOS.

What is Proton Experimental? It's like a staging ground for faster updates to their Windows -> Linux compatibility layer for gaming. There's a bit less testing, and sometimes there's breakages. But eventually after a while all the updates get rolled out to a numbered Proton version like the latest stable version being Proton 10.0-4. See more about all the Proton versions in the GamingOnLinux guide.

For the April 10th Proton Experimental update they noted newly playable titles include:

Resident Evil (1996).
Resident Evil 2 (1998).
Dino Crisis.
Dino Crisis 2.
Universe Generator: The Golden Sword.

If we remove them from the survey, this leaves us with 75% of 5.33%, which is something around 3.96%.

I think the 5.33% is a bug, 3.96% sounds more realistic and in line with the growth linux was having before.

I think this is an error on the survey. Was anybody able to talk to Valve about this? I forgot which email to send this question to.

Something is brewing on the RetroDECK Blog!

One of the most requested features is coming in 0.11.0!

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

When I'm playing any game slightly demanding (such as counter strike 2), my laptop will randomly start spinning its fans really fast and loudly and my fps drops from 100 to 70 ~ 60.

This only stops when I restart my laptop.

Does anybody know what might be causing it? This is my pacman -Qe | grep nvidia output:

lib32-nvidia-utils 595.58.03-1
nvidia-hook 1.5-2
nvidia-inst 24-1
nvidia-open 595.58.03-2
nvidia-settings 595.58.03-1

And here's my fastfetch output

Added support for the VK_EXT_descriptor_heap extension.

Now we just wait for it to get implemented in Proton to finally have decent DX12 performance on Nvidia on Linux.

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]^.
