Am I overthinking my move to Arch for gaming?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 4 Stunden 44 Minuten

Hey,

Right now I’m running Bazzite in dual boot with Windows. The main reason is NVIDIA + Secure Boot, since some of the games I currently play require it. This works fine for now.

In about a year, that won’t be the case anymore and I plan to move fully to Linux. At that point Secure Boot won’t matter, so I’ll have full freedom to choose a distro.

I’ve been looking closely at CachyOS because of its performance-oriented approach, but I’m a bit cautious. I can’t help remembering what happened with Manjaro, and I’m wondering if CachyOS could eventually face similar issues.

My question is:

If something were to go wrong with CachyOS in the future, would switching to official Arch repos be a viable way to “fix” things?

My goal with this future reinstall is performance and learning, but this would also be my main PC, so I’d rather avoid having to nuke and reinstall the system every few years.

For context, I’m not new to Linux. I’ve been tinkering with PCs forever and have used everything from mainstream Ubuntu to the early, very rough versions of SteamOS on spare laptops.

Thanks in advance!

My Weekend Project: DOOM in Terminal with OpenTUI

Inspired by the amazing terminal DOOM ports (doom-ascii, terminal-doom), I wanted to learn more about:

  • WebAssembly compilation with Emscripten
  • OpenTUI's rendering capabilities
  • Modern terminal frameworks

So I built opentui-doom! Tech Stack:

  • TypeScript for modern DX
  • WebAssembly (WASM) for game logic
  • OpenTUI framework for terminal rendering
  • doomgeneric as the DOOM base

Easy to try:

bunx @muhammedaksam/opentui-doom --wad ./doom1.wad

Still a work in progress.

Not the first terminal DOOM, but a fun exploration of modern terminal capabilities!

Does Motorfest run on your device, what is your OS?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 5 Stunden 9 Minuten

I bought motorfest in this steam sale but it does not run at all. I get a wine error debug window and it refuses to run. I have already returned the game and refunded, but i am still interested in it.

I have already seen a video of it running well on a steam deck and thought it will work fine. but after i bought it, it kept crashing. I then looked through protonDB and there are people reporting the issue from last month. The issue has also been discussed in the motor fest steam community, but no solution was found.

If motor fest runs well for you, what OS are you using?
I am running the Lenovo Legion Go with bazziteOS.

Helldivers 2 crackling sounds while playing

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 7 Stunden 14 Minuten

I recently switched to Linux (pop os to be specific, since I have a nvidia gpu). Im running the game on steam with proton 10 and is playing smooth with zero lags, but my one problem is that there is a constant crackling sound while playing, even if I close all other windows I had open ect. And I also played around with the options in the audio settings.

Is there maybe a command I have to do or install some audio input ect.

Has anyone else noticed that Linux will not properly sleep if you had played a Steam game?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 10 Stunden 26 Minuten

For almost a year now I've had this really annoying problem that seemed completely random, where my computer would crash on sleep. It does sleep normally most of the time, but then out of the blue it would freeze on sleep - where monitors and the RGB lighting on my keyboard and mouse turn off, but the fans are still going and the lights on the computer stay on and it produces heat - and become completely unresponsive until i force it off. It annoyed the everlasting gobstopper out of me because there seemed to be no pattern - except that it basically never did it immediately after a fresh boot.

Only recently did I finally notice that it seemed to almost correlate to whenever I launched Steam and play a game so I asked Brave AI if that was a known issue and lo and behold it was a persistent issue where Steam would override power management when playing a game but fail to release the override, so the system just hangs on the override. The suggestion was to add SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER=1 to the launch options so I right-click the icon in the start menu select properties and add it to the command, and lo and behold my computer went to sleep properly every single time. At least until it started happening again, where I realised that I was launching steam by launching the game directly which bypassed the start menu option I overrode the override on.

So is this an issue anyone else have discovered? What have they done to fix it properly? This is Linux Mint 22.2 with Nvidia 1660 super btw

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 12 Stunden 7 Minuten

I am having a problem with Sober (roblox), for example there are shooter games that have usable vehicles, but when I want to select the secondary weapon it does not allow me to do so no matter how many times I press the buttons, but outside of the vehicle I can use any primary or secondary weapon, does anyone know a solution?
