Basically subject. I'm playing the finals and I see that almost every time, there's some shader precaching involved, followed by Vulkan processing before the game starts.

* Is that normal?

* Is there a configuration that avoids that and, if so, which would be the disadvantages?

My gpu is a 9070, playing on Arch, normal Linux kernel, 32Gb of RAM.

I’m getting tired of Windows 11 Pro’s telemetry and constant issues, so I’m considering switching to Linux for gaming. I don’t play online, and my hardware is an RTX 5090 with a Threadripper 7960X.

For someone mainly focused on single-player gaming, which Linux distro would give me the best performance, stability, and overall experience? Any recommendations or things to watch out for?

Hi, I switched from Windows 10 about 2 days ago and now I'm on Linux Mint Cinnamon. I'm really enjoying it, but I don't know why—when I enter Arsenal, roblox game, where I used to get 240 FPS, now I get 100 to 150, 160. I have an RTX 3060 and I adjusted some settings in NVIDIA Settings, but I don’t think that’s the problem.

Can anyone help me?

Problem

A lot of games I regularly play are behaving in really weird ways that they did not do before. Most of these are unity games but some aren't. Some of these include:

• crashing on startup(both with the native version of the game and under proton)
• crashing after opening the pause menu or some other action
• crashing after tabbing in and out
• crashing at completely random times

What I tried

• I tried a dozen different versions of proton. (I usually use proton ge from using the proton-ge-custom-bin from the chaotic aur.)
• I tried moving the games to a different drives.
• I tried using a clean install of cachyos in a vm
• I tried a clean install of nixos on my actual pc(I installed nixos for a different reason I just tried while I was doing that)
• I tried waiting for driver updates

What I know

It is most definetly a problem with my pc as I asked a friend of mine to try one of the games on his p that's running cachyos and it run just fine.
It can't be some kind of package causing problems since it did not work on 3 different OSs.

My specs

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.17.9linux-zen(latest as of posting this)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3100 (8) @ 3.90 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT [Discrete]
Memory: 15.53 GiB(DDR4)
Swap: 20.00 GiB
Motherboard: B550 Phantom Gaming 4
BIOS (UEFI): P1.40 (5.17)

I'm using all up to date packages.
If there's any other info that could be useful I will provide it.

Any help is appriciated I'm going insane.

I thought the Linux crowd might appreciate the engineering behind this.

It’s a project called Eaglercraft. The dev decompiled the 1.8 source and compiled it to JavaScript. It runs on any browser that supports WebGL (Firefox/Chromium) without needing the proprietary Minecraft Launcher or a Microsoft Account login.

It connects to offline-mode servers via WebSockets. It’s a pretty neat way to preserve the 1.8 era in a platform-agnostic way.
