CachyOS or Bazzite for AMD gaming + programming?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. November 2025 - 12:47

Hey everyone,
I’m finally thinking about switching from Windows to Linux and I’m stuck between CachyOS and Bazzite. My main uses are gaming and programming, and I’ve seen a ton of mixed opinions about both.

I’m comfortable with terminals and setting things up, I’m just worried about choosing something that ends up not working well for my workflow.

So if you daily-drive either one:

How stable has it been for you? Any issues with gaming (Steam, Proton, Lutris, etc.)? How is it for developers long-term? Which one would you pick for a Windows user moving over for the first time?

Would love to hear real experiences before I install anything. Thanks!

How it goes these days..

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. November 2025 - 12:46

Honestly, I see more people hating on Linux users for being obnoxious elitists than the thing they're hating on.

[Tutorial] Installing Halo SPV3 using Lutris

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. November 2025 - 12:28

Few days ago tried and setup Halo SPV3 on Linux.
If you guys love Halo CE, I call this a must try Overhaul Mod.

Just one issue: While Halo SPV3 has method to detect Steam Halo MCC installation, I've never got it work in Windows or Linux. So it will be good to be prepared with a Halo CE CD Key to setup Halo Custom Edition.

Thank you all!

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. November 2025 - 11:43

Thanks to all for tips and recomendations I have found from this Sub.

Did final test on my test computer and I am impressed. I settled with CachyOS and and love it.
Steam games run out of the box. Heroic launcher for everything else.

My test computer is more of an potato than my actual gaming computer but some games ran way better on Linux than on windows 11.
Test computer:
Amd R5 5600
32GB ddr 4 ram
Sata ssd 500GB
GTX 1060 6GB

Only tested Elite dangerous stand alone version. Valheim from Steam and Satisfactory from Epic. All worked like charm. Zero issues, no tinkering. Just install and play.
Valheim and elite ran even better than in windows 11.

Can't even express how happy I am to get rid of Windows. Gaming has been the major block for me. Not anymore! Thank you!

Small Square Appearing on WoW when pressing shift+2?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. November 2025 - 11:38

Hi! I recently switched from windows to Linux. I am using Kubuntu and I haven't changed anything from base settings. I downloaded steam then battle.net then WoW from it and I encountered this problem that I honestly don't know how to describe it well.

Sometimes when I press shift+2 this small console like thing appears. It does not happen with any other games I have (so far I tried with Nier:Automata and P3Reload). I tried to look if it was bound to any shortcut but it does not seem like it. I also tried the only thing I've found online which is to put "SET console "0" " on WoW config file but nothing changed.

Has anyone any idea on what it could be?

Ubisoft erkennt Festplattengröße nicht richtig

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. November 2025 - 11:01

Hallo, ich bin ein Neuling unter Linux.

Ich nutze Nobara und habe unter Faugus Ubisoft instaliert.

Nun ist das Problem das ich Anno 117 nicht instalieren kann, da Ubisoft mir sagt ich hätte nur 6702MB freien Speicherplatz frei (egal welche Festplatte ich auswähle) . Unter Steam habe ich diverse Spiele instalieren können, ohne Probleme.

Ich habe 3 Festplatten die jeweils 652,2 GB/ 833,2 GB/ 1.7 TB freien Speicherplatz haben.

Die "kleineren" sind NVMe und die große ist eine SSD, alle in ext4 Formartiert und haben Freigaben zum Anzeigen und Ändern des Inhalts für Eigentümer/Gruppe und Sonstige.

Kann mir jemand helfen?

---------------------------------

Hello, I am new to Linux.

I use Nobara and have installed Ubisoft under Faugus.

The problem is that I cannot install Anno 117 because Ubisoft tells me that I only have 6702MB of free storage space (regardless of which hard drive I select). I have been able to install various games on Steam without any problems.

I have 3 hard drives, each with 652.2 GB/833.2 GB/1.7 TB of free space.

The “smaller” ones are NVMe and the large one is an SSD, all formatted in ext4 and have permissions to view and modify the content for owner/group and others.

Can anyone help me?

Looking to get into Linux gaming

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. November 2025 - 10:47

So some background, I’m 36 years old, I messed around with Linux in my teens, but as I got older I got annoyed with all the tinkering and ended up sticking to windows.

However I recently been seeing on blue sky that there have been some huge strides in Linux and now we can play windows games on Linux? How do we do it? When I look on steam most my games like kingdom come and oblivion remaster are showing windows only.

I plan to buy an amd gpu and cpu and install steamos. Is that all I need to play all my games in Linux? I saw a post saying 99% of games can be played in Linux now. How do we do it?

Steam Flatpak, pros and cons?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. November 2025 - 09:55

Hi all!

I don't personally use the Steam Flatpak, and I'm aware it had some issues at one time as even the Bazzite team had to revert to a native package in their distro.

But I'm also aware a lot of people use it, so I'm curious... What's the current state of the Steam Flatpak?

What's are it's benefits and cons?

Not planning to switch or anything, but I'm always curious about these things.

Newbie - Bazzite Install help

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 19. November 2025 - 07:40

Ok so I installed bazzite and guess i installed the normal nvidia drivers but my games run less than ideal. I think its because im using my 1080ti. Do i need to reinstall with the normal nvidia iso or will it update with the correct drivers? Do i need to do something else to enable the 1080ti?
