It&#8217;s dang close, and Linux is catching up to Windows, but it&#8217;s not perfect. The good news is that the open-source community is working very hard at ironing out those last bits of resistance that keep games on Linux from working as well as they do on Windows.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve tried running an FPS title through Wine, you may have noticed that the camera controls feel strange, juddery, or glitchy. It turns out it&#8217;s due to how Wine handles the cursor, which affects how FPS games work. Fortunately, the excellent people who make up the Wine community have squashed this nasty bug, so FPS games should work a little better now.<\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tLinux gaming is getting faster because&#8230;<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/wines-wayland-driver-just-fixed-the-mouse-control-issue-plaguing-fps-games-on-linux\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wine&#8217;s Wayland driver just fixed the mouse control issue plaguing FPS games on Linux https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/wines-wayland-driver-just-fixed-the-mouse-control-issue-plaguing-fps-games-on-linux\/&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":244790,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.xdaimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2025\/06\/3d-printed-mouse-case.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-244788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244788"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244788"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244788\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":244792,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244788\/revisions\/244792"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
