Steam or EA app?
I am planning to purchase Jedi Fallen Order. I was thinking of avoiding any DRM conflicts if I purchase through the EA app. But what about Linux compatability, will Steam be better? Thanks for reading.

Is FSR4 better than DLSS on Linux?
So this is an odd question, but I have a 9060 XT. I used to have a 3060, had it for 5 months to be exact and DLSS 4, not 3, 4, just doesn't look as good as FSR4 does, and FSR4 AA looks sharper. FSR4 Ultra Performance for example just looks significantly more like "yeah, that can look like 1080p to the untrained eye", on par if not better than DLSS L.
And I know many people will say that it is on par with DLSS 4 and that of course it'll look better in certain scenarios, or how it upscales may just be more pleasing to my eyes.
I can't go back and test DLSS as I'm in the process of selling my 3060. I already thought DLSS 4.5 looked pretty good too, so I'm not saying DLSS looks bad. But I'm just curious given how many reviewers and individuals say FSR4 is on par with 4 and a bit worse than 4.5.

Finally making the switch...
The only reason I've had to keep Windows 11 has been gaming, but I just can't anymore. I'm switching to Linux gaming within the month, likely within the next two weeks. I have an NVIDIA GPU, so I am thinking either Bazzite or CachyOS.
There's only two minor issues. One, I have never gotten WINE to work every time I tried it (I've used Ubuntu for years). And two, the games I want to be able to play have proprietary launchers. I play WoW and Warframe with my son, and Cyberpunk 2077 on my own. Everything else I want Steam is more than adequate for. So WINE and Proton seem inevitable in my future.
I'm no noob to Linux, but I feel like one to Linux gaming. So I ask for help/advice. Which OS is better for performance (especially with NVIDIA), WINE setup, and any launchers that have been written for Linux for the three mentioned games.
I know I am leaning on the community, and that I will have to learn. I just... I can't with Windows any longer. Help?

Merging Game Folders with Mergerfs
So I found out the other day that I could have 1 massive game folder that goes across all of my drives using mergerfs.
I have games on my nvme ssd, a raid 0 array, and an external ssd usb drive. Managing three different library locations in Lutris/Steam is a headache, and moving games between drives usually means updating paths and breaking shortcuts.
Using mergerfs I set up a "Union Mount" that takes all three locations and merges them into a single folder in my home directory "/home/Games". To the OS and my launchers, it looks like one giant drive.
It was simple as hell to set up just install mergerfs, and then update the fstab file.

how to get HDR Analysis overlay (similar to that in SteamOS)
HDR visualisation in Ori and the Will of the Wisps
This is the HDR visualization setting in SteamOS that can be enabled in the developer settings. Very useful for setting HDR in games as not all games give a nit value on their brightness sliders.
I use reshade and these effects to get the same overlay on w*ndows 11 for the same use.
Is there a tool that i am able to use to get this working on my own linux install?

Faugus and Wow issue
New user, fans spin but not fast enough to cool off my gaming laptop leading to overheating
My gaming laptop is brand new, less than 10 months old. Now booting Ubuntu for the past 2 months, anytime I play a higher performance game, my fans' speed never reaches the max of what Windows was hitting. I don't have any bios options to increase my fan speed. Is there anything I can do?

Can't get game both fullscreen and not zoomed in/cropped
Hello!
I recently switched to linux (ultramarine/fedora 43 with gnome), and so far games were pretty plug-and-play. I was able to run Grounded and God of War without any issues, apart from performance issues in Grounded. I have an nvidia 3060 mobile and after a lot of troubleshooting I still have some issues with the drivers so I'm not too surprised by that.
However, I installed Mars First Logistics and that one hasn't worked as well. When just running it, it was zoomed in the upper left quarter of the game's rendered output. And changing the resolution made the image lower quality but not actually scaled differently. Using protontricks and winecfg, setting use virtual desktop solved the issue, but now I have the window decorations and the gnome top bar visible. I tried fiddling with some of the settings there but to no avail. And I also tried using gamescope but that did not work, it gave errors when launching the game, possibly due to my nvidia card.
Any other tips I could try?
Thanks!
Edit: I just tried on a different monitor and it seems to work perfectly without virtual desktop? I was using my laptop connected to a TV before and now connected to a monitor, both 4K. Not sure what would be different, scaling was set to 100% on the TV and 125% on the monitor so if anything, I'd expect the monitor to not work well...

How do you deal with in game sensitivity and DPI?
Basically, I came from Win 11, and I in that OS I was running 1600 dpi - 0.43 in game sens (CS2), with a cheap Hyper X Pulsefire Core, obviously using Hyper X NGENUITY. Today I installed Pop! Os and everything feels good, but aiming at CS2 now is awful. My mouse drivers doesnt support linux, and I already tried Piper but it didnt recognized my device, so I couldnt change the DPI there either. Pop! only let me choose the mouse pointer velocity, and I dont know what I have to do to use it correctly. I was not using pointer acceleration on Windows, and I am not using it here too. How do you guys manage DPI and sensitivity overall? Should I go with the mouse velocity at 50? Was it supposed to be the "default"? Feels very strange on game

Correction regarding GPD Win5 Support for Bazzite - Bazzite
TruckersMP not working in Linux?
Hello everyone!
First off: I’m happy to make my (almost) switch to Linux (currently distro hopping, but caught my favorite one) and always got everything ready to set it up the way I want it to. My only problem is with TruckersMP. I can’t get it to work at all. Like I can install it using Proton Tricks and get it able to find the Euro Truck Simulator 2 path. But as soon as I launch it, I get the error 102, asking me if my path to the game is still valid/available. And since then I couldn’t really find a fix for it so far. Launching Euro Truck Simulator 2 itself though works just fine.
What I have tried so far:
- Installing it on the same prefix as Euro Truck Simulator 2
- Running it on different proton versions (including GE)
- Reinstalled it amounts of times as well as Euro Truck Simulator 2
- Replaced the files within from an original windows installation
- Launching it with sudo/giving it full access
- Trying this on different distros (CachyOS, EndeavourOS and Fedora Linux), giving the same error.
And yet, I can’t get it to work, so I’m asking if anyone got it working as did months ago.
I was following this guide on the TruckersMP Forum website: https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/topic/115291-install-truckersmp-launcher-on-linux/
I would be very grateful for any kind of solutions.
