Hi,

So a few days ago I was totally fed up with Microslop and decided it was time to ditch the AI infested, account only OS and switched to CachyOS. The only thing I miss is being able to play a few games that has kernel level anti cheat but even that is a feature nowadays that I don't have to play them.

I was actually so FED UP that I decided to incorporate which games are playable on Linux on my own website https://whatalaunch.com/game/hogwarts-legacy

I will look back at this moment with gratitude and happiness that I don't get to be in that awful OS.

I just realized that fuck ass rockstar made it insanely hard to play public lobbies if you are on linux, even through a patched qemu vm (which i previously used to play)

and the only current way to play apparently is to use DNS blocking to bypass BattleEye but youll only be able to play with others who are doing the same stuff, soo any lobbies that are here in the community to play in and have fun?

Managed to get battle.net working in PikaOS, with Niri and Nvidia drivers, decided to go with Faugus since I had Faugus working on Omarchy earlier. This is a fresh install as of 7th of April 2026 PikaOS-Nest-NVIDIA-Niri-4.0-amd64-v3-26.04.04-1.

I have three problems:

1. There is a window that is white, and there is a window with the actual battle.net application. Battle.net is working and so does world of warcraft, however I have this white window. I did search for a solution. Changing wine config (api-ms-win-crt-private-l1-1-0 and ucrtbase), changing proton version and there was a suggestion to delete a cfg file in battle.net, there was no such file.

2. The Battle.net application generates popups that are completely unresponsive to clicks. I have to Alt+Tab to a different window and then back again to make them interactable.

3. The Faugus launcher stays centered on the screen and renders on top of my browser. I cannot minimize it or force it behind other windows. Being new to the Niri window manager, I suspect this is a configuration or compositor rule issue.

I didn't go down the Steam route as I only play wow.

I am on day one with PikaOS, choose it because it's based on Debian and has Falcond vs NixOS and GameMode. The choice of distro is pretty vast.

I just accidentally found a fix for my biggest issue with the game. I have been getting bad stutter during gameplay. I run two monitors and decided to just disconnect my secondary, and the stutter is completely gone now.

Hello, I can't seem to get my DS5 controller to work when playing Elden ring specifically. I looked up quite a few things and can't seem to get it working.

I actually had gotten it working yesterday by using the DS4 controller layout in Elden Ring's steam properties, but woke up today, having changed nothing, and it suddenly doesn't work anymore.

I've got proton enabled, tried proton 9 and experimental (experimental is what I used yesterday when it worked). I've tried all manner of controller settings inside steam enabling and disabling steam input. I've tried it in big picture mode. Im sure the controller is connected and properly charged cause when in steam big picture I can use it to navigate the menus.

Not sure what changed between yesterday and now, but any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

I have been messing around with Linux mint on my gaming pc recently. I have 3 drives (m.2 256gb, 1TB SSD and a 1TB HDD) I first did an erase disk install which worked great. After a few days I did a reinstall of the OS with separate partitions for root m.2 and home on HDD thinking I could just add the SSD as storage for my games. It doesn’t seem to have gone the way I was hoping though as the drive is recognized by steam and even accepts the SSD as my default drive but when I install games it install the proton and steam works etc on my HDD still but the game appears on SSD. Long story short even if I have to reinstall freshly is there any way to have it so my computer boots OS and programs from m.2 but have it install all my steam games/ proton packs on my 1tb SSD while having my home folder such as documents, music and pictures on my HDD ? Any help would be greatly appreciated and apologies if I asked this question terribly or if this isn’t the right sub to ask this question.

Hello, I decided to migrate from W11 to Linux (I know that EndeavourOS, aka Arch btw, is not an beginer distro, is not my first time using Linux) and I haven't had any issue game related, in fact most games that I've tried are running better on this OS, but the one issue I ran into is my controller.

I have a GameSir T4 Pro, it DOES have a mode to be detected as a Switch Pro Controller, however, I tried connect it via its dongle and using its USB cable, where it should be detected as an Xbox 360 controller, but as you can see it still says that is a Switch Pro Controller, and today, like you can see in the background it detects like it's pressing random buttons (even though I just connected the dongle and I didn't paired the controller).

Is there a way to fix this? Like, a terminal command or a software that I can use?

About a month ago I was trying to get Borderlands 4 working properly on CachyOS/KDE. Thankfully the latest nVidia drivers have fixed it. But at that time I was trying to get it working, I ended up at a point where the game would run perfectly fine, but Proton would crash on exit, triggering a popup. Here's the thread I posted back then with the error messages:

https://old.reddit.com/r/cachyos/comments/1rn4t2z/proton_crashes_on_game_exit_games_play_perfectly/

At that point I figured I would just live with the notifications. A couple weeks later, though I decided to go nuclear. I uninstalled the game. I went through and deleted anything associated with it including of course the compatdata folder and anything involved with Optiscaler which I had tried using to fix the issues with DLSS and framegen. I hoped that might fix the Proton crash issue as everything would be back to normal. But no... Proton still crashes on exit.

Since the game does run properly I've decided to give up on fixing the Proton issue. But I would love to get rid of the notifications. I've gone into the system settings, but I don't see anything to do with Proton. Searching online regarding Proton just gives me a ton of results dealing with Proton mail.

Any ideas of how to stop the Proton notifications? (Or fix the Proton crashes?)

I am struggling to set a different refresh rate than the default for my monitor, which is 165. I wanted to set, let's say, 120 Hz, but it seems like Gamescope automatically decides the higher one should be set.

Likewise, I have tried the -r flag for Gamescope with no luck; that one seems to be only for nested environments, e.g., when using it under KDE or something

Is this possible?

PS: here part of my launch script:

$(which dbus-run-session) \

$(which game-performance) \

$(which gamescope) \

-O DP-1 \

-w 3840 -h 2160 \

-W 3840 -H 2160 \

-r 120 \

--hdr-enabled \

--backend drm \

--adaptive-sync \

--xwayland-count 2 \

-e \

-f \

--rt \

--immediate-flips \

-- steam -gamepadui -steamos3 -steamdeck -library -noverifyfiles

I wanted a tablet for media consumption and game streaming. While researching I found a few Lenovo and Red Magic tablets. I was suprised to find Game Native and would be able to play indie games on the device. I did want to buy an expensive tablet just for this feature and have it taken by th OEMs through an update. Or just gave my experience degraded in the future because if an update.

So I started looking for alternatives. I found GPD Win devices. But after searching this sub and reading whole Bazzite debocle, it seems I would be stuck using Windows if I go with one of there device.

Are there any options for mini laptop or tablet laptops? Or maybe 10“ 2in1 laptops?

Thanks.

I'm having a bizarre issue where if I move my camera in the top left corner of the screen then the cursor will jump erratically no matter how much I move it.

Here's a video showcasing the issue: https://youtu.be/9gt16khOKf4?si=7vZrsQHswsw0zKf0

Every time I update Mesa or Proton or switch GPU drivers, I get that low-level dread that something's going to break. Not even about the new features - just the random regressions that might unfold.

Is it just me, or does everyone else hold their breath during gaming updates too? What actually broke for you recently, and was it recoverable?
